     Hello, my name is Stephen and I am a linguist. Some say that we are born into our vocation while others say that it is something developed over time. In the case of language acquisition, both are true. We are all inherently language learners being a highly adaptable and intuitive social species. Language will and always has taken on new and exciting forms that continuously change and adapt to new environments. Some languages die, while others flourish and change into something new. Each language has its own rhythm, its own method of thought, and its own fundamental values. In a sense, Language is everything, language is life.      I have studied languages ever since I was in homeschool before 5th grade. My mother taught me to read, write, and speak Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. I read Beowulf in old English as a child. While I can remember almost nothing of these languages, the dedication instilled in me has carried on. I studied at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, CA. I learned and collaborated among thousands of people in my field. I learned that everyone is an individual and we all are interested by different languages. Not everyone, however, is interested in what is commonly thought of as language. The oral, visual, and auditory skills of communication are possessed by all but a passion of few. If your language is in a vocation such as science, medicine, or something else then you are probably not interested in the textbook definition of language studies. Instead, such people focus on a different sort of language acquisition and study. If you see other languages, foreign to you, as a novelty then this book is not for you. I will not be sharing my knowledge of language acquisition in areas of vocations, often referred to as jargon, but will instead be imparting my skill in the auditory, visual, and spoken word. Please take my words with a grain of salt. Do not believe everything you’re told but instead study for yourself. Give into your creative individuality and search out your own answers. All advice is free, but time is finite. I hope that you enjoy this book. [more][Less]

Is there anyone out there who had a privilege of choosing their first language? well, choices are available for those interested in taking on second third forth or endless languages. but the basic one remains to out of the speaker's choice. [more][Less]

Body language is an interesting concept. The human body makes a lot of unconscious motions depending on the situation. Sometimes, the body language indicators are blatant and obvious. If you see someone crying, chances are they’re upset about something. Other times, body language indicators aren’t so obvious. For instance, you may completely miss someone rolling their eyes at you in derision if they aren’t facing you. There are so many ways to interpret body language and many, many more body language indicators. These can be important in almost any communication setting, whether it’s business, relationships, or even meeting someone new. [more][Less]

Body language may be even more crucial to our social skills than verbal communication. The way to discover more about what people re trying to say when they don't say anything, is to study it. That's where this guide comes in. Have you ever wondered how people flirt by just a look, a body gesture, or a facial expression? Have you ever wondered how you can read clues and signs about what people are thinking? Did you ever take a closer look at the signs of attraction, repulsion, or some other emotions people will express, but won't say? Then you've come at the right place. This book will be an eye-opener. Don't wait and learn more about various nonverbal communication techniques now. [more][Less]

This title contains a combo of 3 books, namely:   Book 1: If you’re looking to boost your social skills, then this is the right book.   If you want to learn more about nonverbal communication, then this is the right book.   If you’re open to learning more about flirting, communicating with colleagues, etc. then this is definitely the right book.   There are a lot of other reasons to get this book. You will discover more differences between extroverts and introverts, how some are more into listening and others are more into visuals, and so many more things. So don’t wait. Enlighten your mind with this great source of information.     Book 2: Why are so many people so bad at listening? Or am I just a complainer? Well, the truth is, it’s become harder and harder for people to pay attention. Social media, technology, and our fast-paced society have all contributed to that. In this guide, we’ll address the problem, as well as some hardcore tips and suggestions to help you become a better listener and likable communication guru. Other than that, we’ll show you the ropes of seeing through someone’s nonverbal messages, body language, negotiation tactics, sales techniques, flirtatious moves, and much more. Body language is at the root of most of what we’re actually saying, even though it doesn’t always appear that way.   Last but not least, you’ll find out how to use small talk, become more social, and eliminate some social anxiety or awkwardness you might have. Even when you think you’re doing pretty well, you could still use some of this advice. So don’t stall and get to it! We’ll see you inside the book.     Book 3: This guide is perfect for understanding more about body language, eye contact, and all those hidden messages that aren’t coming out of your mouth.   People reveal a lot just by the way they move their eyes, the subtle cues they show, and the way they move. Adie from that, we’ll look into the differences of male and female communication, how to analyze your audience when you’re talking to people, and how to become more extroverted (if that’s what you want). Last but not least, this book shows a tip of the iceberg of theories from Jung and Freud, and the famous social learning theory that has often been challenged. All these things can help you understand yourself, human interaction, and the personality of others better. So don’t wait and begin reading or listening to this book now! [more][Less]
