Linguist to the Stars Creative Learning Breaktrough: You can learn a language as easy as actors learn lines. The secret to the Hollywood Language Method is using your right brain or creative side to learn naturally like a child does
(PRWEB) June 14, 2004 -- When Johnny Depp wanted to read bedtime stories to his young French-speaking daughter, he knew just who to go to for French lessons. When Christine Aguilera had to learn Spanish for no less a task than singing her first Spanish-language album, she knew whom to turn to. When Toby Maguire needed a quick, painless course in French, only one name was on his list.
They are among dozens of stars and business leaders who have a secret weapon for language training, Cecilia Rasmussen, who has become the go to" linguist for busy people with important language challenges in their lives. She can have people thinking and dreaming in a language in as little as 20 course hours.
The secret to her Super-Learners International Language courses is left and right brain training, which is especially helpful to creative people as well as logical thinkers as it links the two on a sub-conscious level. It allows the student to learn languages faster and with less effort than the grueling, memory-intensive courses that populate the field.
She dubs her technique the Hollywood Language Method" -- not because so many prominent actors and studio executives use it, but because of the way it is absorbed. Actors often immerse themselves in a role to the point where they can think like the character. This involves right brain activity, the kind she stimulates with her classes.
Any multi-lingual person will tell you that the big turning point is when you stop translating in your head and start dreaming and thus thinking in a language," said Rasmussen. That is what makes Super-Learner's so effective for creative people. We help them use that strength to quickly tap into sub-conscious learning."
It works: Students can learn the language of their choice with 40-60 hours of private instruction. They report they are thinking and dreaming in the language within 20-30 hours.
Rasmussen says listening to her CDs the key, which combine all the elements of her course with a subliminal learning component that makes the language part of the thought process. She notes children learn languages earlier than they learn to read. Learning a language using the right brain, which is your creative and emotional side, helps you learn like a child does. They learn intuitively and quickly while they are having fun."
Those expecting harder work will have to get used to the comfort zone she creates in her live classes. Rasmussen's Zen-like courses are different from the start. Relaxing chairs and classical music and set the scene for a non-traditional learning experience that her star pupils find both fun and effective.
The courses blend the latest scientific language learning techniques with a holistic ambiance that produces extraordinary results," she said from her Beverly Hills Super-Learners headquarters.
