November perks, votes and news!

Hello dear supporters of Language Transfer and The Thinking Method!

I'm feeling particularly upbeat this month because I know that the first new learning material is coming since the release of the Thinking Method Guidebook! The fist classes of Introduction to Music (Theory) will begin releasing this month, and with them the world will begin to see what The Thinking Method applied to other subjects might look like! From here, I'll be pushing for the project to begin reaching into all ki...

News, votes and perks!

It's an exciting week! Filming for the first lessons of 'Introduction to Music (Theory)' begins tomorrow, and alongside that I'm following up forever more possible collaborations re. new course writers! Interesting applications are finally starting to role in, which is something I've been eagerly anticipating since the Thinking Method Guidebook's release in December last year, and so I'm so relieved and excited to finally see the ball rolling! Fingers crossed I get to confirm some new teacher...

LT in Barcelona!

Hey all!

I arrived in Barcelona a few days ago and I couldn’t be more excited to be here. Barcelona old town without the usual hoards of tourists feels like a wonderful place again and meeting interesting people seems much easier, fingers crossed I'll find some talent here for team I'm looking to build! If I do, or even whilst I'm searching, I'm thinking about setting up a workshop space in the gothic neighbourhood to have a physical base for the new team and to engage the public! Wat...

Hello everybody, it's been a while! First of all, thank you all so, so much for being here and convincing me I have so much more to give in this world! Your support is what keeps me confident and forceful on this forever arduous journey of ripping obstacles out the path in front of me (and inside me) root and stem, to continue deciphering this world of elusive truths we inhabit: finding new ways to think, to understand and to create.

From the methodology to the way the material is share...

Intro to Music (Theory) Test Students!

As you may already know, I'm slowly working on a music course in order to demonstrate how the Thinking Method isn't just for languages! The idea is to get teachers of various subjects to collaborate and create free courses for anything from statistics to mycology!

I will soon be releasing an all new tester class of 'Intro to Music (Theory)' exclusive for Patreon supporters, but first I would like to test it on some folk, and will also need an (online) recording student for the tester cl...

Update to Interlinear Books Collaboration - New Titles Available!

Great news! Our collaboration with Interlinear Books has been refreshed, here's what's new!

-The titles in Greek, German and French that were previously offered have now been changed, that means if you previously claimed a book in one of these languages, you will now be able to claim a new book (providing enough time has passed, check your tier description!). Previously offered titles are no longer available.

-The new titles are more beginner friendly, so hopefully will provide a ...

New Interview!

This is all about me, but maybe it's all about you! 

The Personal Process Podcasts home in on the trials and tribulations of creators all over the world, so that our difficulties might help you get a heads up on your own!

In this interview, I share the story behind LT (or rather my own story) in a way I never have before: no scooting around sensitive areas, no self-censorship, filter and shame-free. The theme of our interview is 'fighting with yourself'.

JAPANESE has won it!

Japanese has won it, and that means we (that includes you!) are now desperately trying to find the right person to HIRE in order to co-create a course in Japanese, Mandarin or German (remaking or finishing the current course). As previously mentioned, to increase our chances of finding the right person, we will now always have three winning languages to chose from when hiring!

I was ideally looking for someone in Buenos Aires but the person could be ANYWHERE ...or anywhere where $500 US...

Super mega dupa big news! LT soon to hire it's first non-Mihalis course writer!

Whilst I've been searching hard for the right administrative/marketing team member to come on board, we've saved quite a bit of cash! I will be spending that on freelancers to help get LT out there (more news soon!) and to help me find the right person to work with long-term.

This means I can invert the order of the Patreon milestones so that our first fixed team member is a NEW COURSE WRITER! This teacher will either finish/remake Complete German, create Complete Mandarin (from the las...

New Year Update, Packs and Votes!

Hello everyone and a very happy 'same same but different' to you all!

Thanks for being here on the campaign, supporting Language Transfer and The Thinking Method, and everything the project stands for: an integral way of learning which has every chance of changing how we interact with information, knowledge and belief, a project which promotes collaboration over competition, a movement which questions the values our cultures popularly promote... all of that is what is kept on its feet w...

Thinking Method Guidebook and more...

The test run copies of the Thinking Method Guidebook arrived to Spain yesterday!! A very exciting feeling indeed to see the photos, even though I can’t touch them just yet!

Whilst they get sent over to me in Argentina and I make some final checks, sort the cover out, get the ISBN number (etc. etc.) we still have a couple of weeks before we go to print in which YOU can help! If you will read this book, why not start with the digital copy to help me sieve out mistakes! If you are sure y...

Intro to Music TESTER CLASS

Hello dear supporters of Language Transfer and The Thinking Method!

I’m delighted to share with you all a very rudimentarily filmed test class for ‘Introduction to Music (Theory)’!

I had hoped to have the first class officially released by around now but as usual, the further down the rabbit hole I get, the more time I realise I need... this is getting beautifully complicated!

The weaving of ideas needs to be as smooth as it is in the language classes, and there is alr...

Language Transfer... and The Thinking Method!

For those of you who have been following for a while, you probably remember when I reached a point of saturation some time ago. Having made courses in nine languages by myself, and under very stressful and precarious conditions, I just kind of broke a little! And so, I decided to go part-time (albeit with full-time bouts!) to get my health in order and to focus on laying the groundwork for building a team. I’ve been writing the Thinking Method Guidebook, and I moved back to Buenos Aires in ...

Dissemination Packs!

The most important element for sharing Language Transfer is... you!

Language Transfer doesn't spend your money on ads, but on packs which help YOU share your learning experience!

To claim your dissemination/goody pack:

-Check your pledge tier to see if you are due one and what type of pack you are due. If your pledge promises a pack every 4 months for example, we should wait at least half of that time to send out the first pack. This ensures your pledges cover the pack cost ...

iOS APP!

Hello all, I know many of you have been waiting for it for a while, and it's finally here! The new LT app for iOS (Apple) is now available! The app has basic functions for now, but additional features will come soon in further versions!

If you can take a moment, please leave a review on the app link! This will help Language Transfer appear in more searches for language courses!

All the best and thanks again for all your support!  Now that the apps are out, I can direct my att...

Packs and votes!

Thank you for all your pledges this month! LT has never been better, an app out (FINALLY!) and work progressing wonderfully on the guidebook and the plan to build a team to direct! Interestingly, the pandemic might be a real opportunity in this sense... as many people are rethinking life and some of those might look this way! So, when you tell people about the courses, don't forget to mention I'm looking for new teachers too!

If you are due a dissemination pack (you can check your pledg...

LANGUAGE TRANSFER APP!!

Guess what? Language Transfer finally has an app! I almost can't believe it! And the beautiful news is, it was all made by a volunteer!

In this version of the app you can download the audios and track your progress. This is just version 1.0, designed to get LT in the app store asap so that more users can find the project!
The second version will have some awesome updates, such as automatic pausing options, and an iphone version is planned too!

For now, if you've ever had a nic...

New Pre-release Thinking Method Guidebook

I'm relieved and excited to announce that I have begun pre-releasing Part 3.0 of the Thinking Method Guidebook!

An extensive analysis of the first two tracks of Intro to French are now online. It's not a light read; 29 pages (including the transcript), but that's because so much thought goes into creating these lessons!
This is the most essential reading material for any prospective new course writer, or anyone fascinated by this method and wanting to know why it works so well!

Claiming votes, packs and books!

Hello all!

Here's a reminder of some essential points about the campaign!

-LT is not a team, it's just me (Mihalis) with an endless amount of work! For this reason, this campaign is less interactive than others on Patreon, but you should be pleased to know that's because I'm putting all my energies into the project! :) It is no reflection of my immense appreciation to you all who are the bread and butter of this project! FB is the best place for regular updates for now: 2020-04-09 15:27:53 +0000 UTC View Post

Goodies/dissemination packs (and more)

Hello all!

If you are due (check your tier) and would like a dissemination/goody pack to help you share LT, please give me a shout either in the comments or via message. As soon as Spain is released from lockdown, they'll be sent out :/

If you know anyone in quarantine, remind them that this is a great time to learn a language, we might just save some folks from insanity! :) For people who are not used to being alone, this will be a very tough time and I'm sure that the LT courses...

The Guidebook!

Hello all! 

Parts 1, 2, 4, & 5 of the Thinking Method Guidebook are now online! https://www.languagetransfer.org/othermaterial

There are still some odd bits left to do such as the Introduction and Appendix, and of course Part 3 'Script Analysis' (which dwarfs all other sections, eeeek!), and then we go to print!

This guidebook is THE infrastructure for the creation of an LT team,...

Part 2.0 'Teaching' of the Thinking Method Guidebook has been released!

The Guidebook continues releasing, but for those of you who wanted to help out with proofing and haven't gotten around to it yet... there's still time! It will be some weeks before we go to print and both what has been released as well as what is coming still begs for more eyes on it!

Thanks so much to those who have helped with proofing so far, it really has made a difference, and thank you to each and every one of you for your support! You are allowing me to create the infrastructure ...

WELCOME to the mental world of course-building with the Thinking Method!

The first part of the Thinking Method Guidebook has finally been released, and I'm super excited to begin sharing all the thought behind this project with you all!
Know any impassioned teachers out there that want to get more out of their everyday? Spread the word, I'm sharing everything I know, and I'm looking to build a team!

THANK YOU ALL for your support. LT wouldn't be the half of what it is without it. That's not lip service, it's the cold hard truth. Thank you!!
