  ENTREPRENEURS HELP ELEMENTARY STUDENTS LEARN TO SPEAK SPANISH FAST!

  Phoenix, Arizona (November 5, 2010) It seems like every time you turn on the TV lately you see an Ad for a language learning program.   The team at Progressive Media Partners, LLC are hoping to capitalize on this trend.  This year they launched a product called “Learn Spanish for Kids.”  Andre Hoffner, Director of Sales & Marketing says “We wanted to create a product for children that is as effective as Rosetta Stone is for adults.”

  “Learn Spanish for Kids” is a DVD series that includes 60 lessons on ten fun and educational DVDs that teach Spanish to elementary age children.  Kids love watching the interactive lessons that include memory games, songs, jokes, all on a modern “virtual set” just like many of the popular kids TV shows.  By using repetitive teaching methods, exciting graphics, and lively music, these DVDs prepare children to become fluent Spanish speakers.  The lessons are designed to create a visual link in your child’s memory through sight, sound, and speech association.  Children who complete this program will know more Spanish than most 2nd year high school Spanish students.  Although designed for kids, these DVDs are fun for the entire family!

  The developers of this language learning system are very confident in the results that children can achieve.  The product comes with a 100% Money Back Guarantee.  “Kids can learn as much Spanish in a matter of weeks as they would typically learn in their entire elementary school experience.  That is, if their school even offers a language program.” says David Ellison, Director of Business Development.

  This program is a great Christmas Gift Idea.  The lessons are very entertaining so why not give your children a gift that will give them an advantage in life and career?  This isn’t your typical “Toy” that will be used for a few weeks and then throw it away.  This gift will last a lifetime!

  If would like to purchase the program they are available online at the company website: www.languagezoom.com (secure website), www.EBAY.com , and www.AMAZON.com

  Speak Plainly God $32.99 “Originally I had planned on naming this book “Ninety Days to Glory.” By revelation of the Holy Spirit I was told to name the book “Speak Plainly God” as God would use my book to answer the cry of many to learn how to hear Him speak plainly in their daily lives. The greatest miracle I personally received was at the end of my own ninety-day transformation. A miracle occurred in heaven that was shared by others as a witness to God’s commitment and love for those who overcome the obstacles of this world. Jesus appeared to me in the form of the Morning Star. The events that followed have led to the writing of this book. If you seek Him with an open mind and heart, He has promised through scripture to appear to you as well. II Peter 1: 19, 21 Verse 19: And we have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and The Morning Star rises in your hearts. Verse 21: For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. Revelation 22: 16 Verse 16: I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David and the Bright Morning Star. Revelations 2: 26, 28 Verse 26: To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations. Verse 28: I WILL ALSO GIVE HIM THE MORNING STAR.”

  How to Speak at Special Events $14.99 “Communication is such a vital part of todays world we are bombarded with thousands of mediatransferred messages every day. But with thousands of messages comes confusion. Clarity when talking of ideas and concepts are rare. Public speaking, as exemplified by politicians, has become the science of sound bites for that 5second media slot. Communication in todays society is not equipping us for public speaking. Christianity communicates ideas that need to be thought through, contemplated and reflected upon. Christians use words because God uses words. He is interested in verbal and written communication. He communicates ideas about himself primarily to us in his written word, the Bible. So if you are faced with an event or occasion when public speaking is needed you may find yourself in need of a helping hand. How to speak at special events can help because it is written by experts in their field. But before you can prepare an effective talk, you have to prepare yourself and your material. Its not just a case of throwing some jokes and Bible stories together and hoping. How to speak at special events will guide you stepbystep along the way.

  Speak What We Feel $10.19 Now in paperback, Buechner analyzes the works of four of his most favorite (and influential) writers, Mark Twain, G. K. Chesterton, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Shakespeare. These four writers, he says, each wrote at least once "in his own blood about the darkness of life as he found it and about how for better or for worse he managed to survive it, even to embrace it." Twains Huckleberry Finn, Chestertons Man Who Was Thursday, Hopkins last few sonnets, and Shakespeares King Lear– "in listening to these four say so powerfully not what they thought they ought to say but what they truly felt," will allow us, Buechner believes, to learn to bear the weight of our own grief and sadness.

  The Infinite Gift: How Children Learn and Unlearn the Languages of the World $7.89 A child’s very first word is a miraculous sound, the opening note in a lifelong symphony. Most parents never forget the moment. But that first word is soon followed by a second and a third, and by the age of three, children are typically learning ten new words every day and speaking in complete sentences. The process seems effortless, and for children, it is. But how exactly does it happen? How do children learn language? And why is it so much harder to do later in life? Drawing on cutting-edge developments in biology, neurology, psychology, and linguistics, Charles Yang’s The Infinite Gift takes us inside the astonishingly complex but largely subconscious process by which children learn to talk and to understand the spoken word. Yang illuminates the rich mysteries of language: why French newborns already prefer the sound of French to English; why baby-talk, though often unintelligible, makes perfect linguistic sense; why babies born deaf still babble — but with their hands; why the grammars of some languages may be evolutionarily stronger than others; and why one of the brain’s earliest achievements may in fact be its most complex. Yang also puts forth an exciting new theory. Building on Noam Chomsky’s notion of a universal grammar — the idea that every human being is born with an intuitive grasp of grammar — Yang argues that we learn our native languages in part by unlearning the grammars of all the rest. This means that the next time you hear a child make a grammatical mistake, it may not be a mistake at all; his or her grammar may be perfectly correct in Chinese or Navajo or ancient Greek. This is the brain’s way of testing its options as it searches for the local and thus correct grammar — and then discards all the wrong ones. And we humans, Yang shows, are not the only creatures who learn this way. In fact, learning by unlearning may be an ancient evolutionary mechanism that runs throughout the animal kingdom. Thus, babies learn to talk in much the same way that birds learn to sing. Enlivened by Yang’s experiences with his own young son, The Infinite Gift is as charming as it is challenging, as thoughtful as it is thought-provoking. An absorbing read for parents, educators, and anyone who has ever wondered about the origins of that uniquely human gift: our ability to speak and, just as miraculous, to understand one another.

But that first word is soon followed by a second and a third, and by the age of three, children are typically learning ten new words every day and speaking in complete sentences. The process seems effortless, and for children, it is. But how exactly does it happen? How do children learn language? And why is it so much harder to do later in life? Drawing on cutting-edge developments in biology, neurology, psychology, and linguistics, Charles Yang’s The Infinite Gift takes us inside the astonishingly complex but largely subconscious process by which children learn to talk and to understand the spoken word. Yang illuminates the rich mysteries of language: why French newborns already prefer the sound of French to English; why baby-talk, though often unintelligible, makes perfect linguistic sense; why babies born deaf still babble — but with their hands; why the grammars of some languages may be evolutionarily stronger than others; and why one of the brain’s earliest achievements may in fact be its most complex. Yang also puts forth an exciting new theory. Building on Noam Chomsky’s notion of a universal grammar — the idea that every human being is born with an intuitive grasp of grammar — Yang argues that we learn our native languages in part by unlearning the grammars of all the rest. This means that the next time you hear a child make a grammatical mistake, it may not be a mistake at all; his or her grammar may be perfectly correct in Chinese or Navajo or ancient Greek. This is the brain’s way of testing its options as it searches for the local and thus correct grammar — and then discards all the wrong ones. And we humans, Yang shows, are not the only creatures who learn this way. In fact, learning by unlearning may be an ancient evolutionary mechanism that runs throughout the animal kingdom. Thus, babies learn to talk in much the same way that birds learn to sing. Enlivened by Yang’s experiences with his own young son, The Infinite Gift is as charming as it is challenging, as thoughtful as it is thought-provoking. An absorbing read for parents, educators, and anyone who has ever wondered about the origins of that uniquely human gift: our ability to speak and, just as miraculous, to understand one another.

  Speak From The Heart: Be Yourself And Get Results $7.79 In Speak from the Heart, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster, newspaper columnist, and motivational speaker Steve Adubato reveals the secrets to being a great communicator — with a program that will dramatically change the way you talk, listen, and connect with others. Steve Adubato’s life experiences, both professional and as a husband, son, brother, and father, have taught him invaluable lessons about the power of personal, sincere communication. In Speak from the Heart, he demonstrates that being a truly great communicator is not simply about being articulate or being a "good talker." It is not about fancy visuals and PowerPoint presentations, or hard-core sales pitches, or even who has the most facts, figures, and technical wizardry. What really counts is making an authentic connection with other people that comes not merely from the intellect but from the heart. If you want to make a lasting impact, Dr. Adubato shows you how to engage people through empathy and understanding, how to be a great listener, and how to make an audience — whether one, one hundred, or one thousand people — care about you and your message. He helps you to rely less on written speeches, teleprompters, and index cards full of too much forgettable information, and learn, instead, how to tell a compelling story and create excitement and enthusiasm. You will learn, for example, how to: Lecture less and engage more Communicate under pressure Make effective use of eye contact Develop a conversational style Inspire in a human, personal way Become comfortable with your core message Speak from the Heart will not only make it easier for you to communicate your message without being ignored or misunderstood; it will also improve your relationships with other people and help you to become more productive at work — with more satisfaction and less stress.
