he is eating me
i can't stop
I'm slipping
he will have me again
and i can't resist

I'm a person
my identity is a person
they must stop treating me upon one of my properties

now
he started hurting me
he can't see the soul
he is after .....

i can't write to him
i don't want to lose him
he is a sweet person

In a recent article in 'The Daily Californian,' a linguistics professor was quoted about the study of indigenous languages by experts like himself.

One section in the article pretty much sums up for me how useful the university linguistic approach is to those of us who want to learn how to speak an indigenous language:

A common misconception of linguists is that they can speak many different languages. Garrett's response to this stereotype is that linguists study languages, not speak them, and he himself is still far from becoming fluent in Yurok.

"I'm at that foreign language learning stage where, when someone's talking, you recognize as it goes along that you know each of the pieces but they're going too fast for you to put it all together and you want to say 'No, no, stop, wait! Talk four times as slow!'" Garrett said.

While I would never go so far as to say linguistics has no place whatsoever in promoting and supporting people's desire to actually speak — as oppposed to simply study — their language, I believe we need to get people talking in Cree, not merely about Cree.

At least this professor was candid and honest enough to acknowledge this fact.

We use language in
work, friendships, love, music, sports.
So, it is important to feel comfortable in English.

I am trained to work with both
the English language and the Psychology of learning.
They work together.

Our sessions are enjoyable and seem to go by so fast. I provide a digital copy for you to take home with you. You can listen during the week and create an audio library to keep and use.

We focus on your interests and preparing you for upcoming events in your life where English is important.
We will use everday conversation, humour, laughs, photos, video, graphics, poems, songs, the internet and anything else we find interesting.

Language is like a portfolio and you will build and diversify your English language portfolio.

The first session is free so you can see if this is best for you.

Sooner than you think, you will be living and dreaming in English as well as your mothertongue.

Those who do not want a permanent gold tooth could try a removable gold tooth. This type of gold tooth is basically used as jewelry and not like a filling as the gold crown. Gold teeth have been growing increasingly popular and are called by different names like gold fonts, gold caps, and gold slugs. These gold teeth are customized to fit your mouth, with the caps sliding over your existing teeth, so you can actually snap them on and off at leisure. Gold teeth are made in fourteen-carat, eighteen-karat and twenty-two carat gold and also with white gold, silver and 950 platinum; they can also be ordered through the Internet. Pearls jewelry stores
