FAQ

>How can I download the audio files?

Audio files can now be downloaded from the LT app, and directly from the website, in the free courses tab.

>What level are the courses for and what do they cover?

Courses are designed for beginners but as can be seen in the user feedback, many learners report having learnt a lot with LT from the get go, even after having studied a language for many years! This is because the order in which information is presented is atypical.

'Complete' courses explore the entire structural panorama of the language, give a good base of vocabulary and put emphasis on the skills needed to continue to excel as a language learner. Introductory courses do the same but cover less of the structural panorama than Complete courses, they are essentially the first 30-40% of a Complete course. Nevertheless, the Introductions are much more comprehensive than your typical introductory course and home in on the underlying characteristics of the language, enabling the learner to continue their learning journey independently! For this reason, beginners as well as advanced learners report learning and clarifying a great deal through the Introduction courses.

>Is there a guidebook/transcript? How can I review a particular point?

You are advised not to use transcripts during course time unless you have to in order to follow the English, and it is especially important not to look at the transcript whilst constructing your sentences mentally! It is most definitely not advisable to attempt learning the language from the transcript alone. That said, the transcripts can be used for revision purposes to good effect and can be used with a search tool to find specific parts of the course.

Some transcripts have been created by online volunteers and so, they can often contain a great many mistakes. Nevertheless they are available here: Spanish, French, Greek, Arabic, German, Italian, Turkish, Inglés.

>Can you make a course in -INSERT language-? Do you know anyone that teaches with this method for -insert language-?

There are people all over the world experimenting with creating Thinking Method material following the Guidebook’s release in late 2020. That said, no-one has been officially trained or is working on behalf of LT.

If you want Mihalis to create something, it’s not him you have to pressure but those institutions and organisations which could and should be helping!

>Do you give private classes?

Only when testing material. I currently have an opening or two for English for Spanish Speakers.

>What should I do when I finish the course?

Consume, consume, consume… the language that is! Be it talking with people, reading, watching movies or listening to music, use your language exposure and the thought it generates to reaffirm what you already know, get clearer on what you doubt so you can fill in the gaps, and learn new things altogether! As enjoyable as they are, the courses are not designed to create dependency, they are designed to train you to teach yourself!

>Who is/represents language transfer?

Language Transfer as a project represents the body of work of Mihalis Eleftheriou, who is the creator of the project and its sole integrate. No-one else is authorised to speak on behalf of the project nor to give official Thinking Method courses. (Please continue to make me aware when this happens!)
