Thanks, Bob. I think I'll order it and if it doesn't work out I'll get my money back.

Okay, I bought the ebook for $29.00 and here's what I think after reading its ninety two pages:
It would be an excellent book for those who have never attempted learning a language before; it's essential
reading, but for someone like myself who is skilled in the process of learning languages, there is nothing new in
this book. However, it has helped to almost crystalise my approach to learning languages.
In conclusion, it's a great book for beginners and I will recommend it to people in the future, but I knew what the
author was saying. Also, at least 40% of it is biographical.

I love that expression :O Especially in response to this healthcare crap (but that's for another forum).
But if you think it'll truly help and you'll use it, might as well buy it, hell it's your money.

Don't always believe ads, they always try to sell you the product, whether it's good or not.

That's funny. I know this guy from the forums - he has a very distinctive writing style. He had the whole "immersive
environment" thing down well before 10,000 sentence dude. He would come up with a lot of cutting edge ideas -
some worked, some didn't, and he went by many aliases. Glad to hear he's making a little money; he inspired so
many people.

I'd look at "Benny the Irish Polyglot" actually, his stuff is excellent, and free. He's
a member here, and he knows what he's talking about. "irishpolyglot" |

No, his stuff is not for free since the last time I checked. Actually, it's quite
expensive for my own taste, at least in his own website.
He is indeed a member here.
About his stuff being "excelent" and his expertise, I believe there is not a consensual
opinion about it. I'm not accusing him or anybody else, but I would be very careful
before purchasing anything.
My methods are way more orthodox, but they surely work and I vastly prefer that way.
But, as they say, to each its own.

I know it's PourquoiMonsieur, not PorquoiMonsieur.
