Language learning is NOT cheap! And nearly 100% of students in school and upon graduation cannot speak the language they learned in school!!!(1-13)(20)
Some of our competitors will make you pay $1,999.00 and more!!!(12)
Most students around the world, even in poor economies, are spending THOUSANDS of dollars of their own money and their PARENT'S money or their family's money all on schooling, for language learning... years and years in college, institutes, tutoring, courses, and more!!! And yet most schools and institutions have produced almost ZERO results, ZERO improvement in speaking ability in students and graduates!!!(1-25)
Governments have spent BILLIONS on foreign language learning in their public schools!!! Some have spent that much ANNUALLY!!! Just one country, a BILLION dollars per year!!! Even some of the poor countries are spending that much!!! And yet ALL of these countries have shown almost ZERO results, ZERO improvement in speaking ability in their students and graduates!!!(1-25)
PARENTS are spending THOUSANDS of dollars of their own money on language acquisition for their children and getting ZERO results!!! In rich countries they spend MUCH MORE than that!!! And yet everybody's children are getting NO results, NO improvement in speaking ability!!!(1-25)
YOU are right!!! If you are thinking to yourself that this is a global TRAGEDY!!!
But there is GOOD NEWS!!! YOU DON'T need to spend THOUSANDS of dollars, years in school, to speak a foreign language FLUENTLY!!! And FAST!!! And PERMANENT!!! We're giving this to YOU for a very low price (or for FREE), and it's just a ONE-TIME payment!!! NO monthly payments!!!

If you decide you want additional features, which are NOT necessary for you to gain the results you desire... and simply a luxury...
But are things that everyone always asks me for, for example:
#1). Additional coaching (and set schedule).
#2). Knowledge concerning additional facts and information about the scripts (to ensure you're doing them correctly and getting the BEST results and FASTEST results possible).
#3). To learn the other aspects of the language (we give you additional insights into all aspects of the language, not just the speaking part, which is what the FREE scripts focus on is just the speaking part, we give you so much more if you're a PRO member).
#4). And INSTANT access to our experts, to answer all of your questions, and so on... (PRO Members get a priority access hotline).
#5). And so much more!!!

Says "An estimated 53 per cent of children in low- and middle-income countries cannot read proficiently by age 10." and "On average, in low income countries, 46 per cent of the resources went to the top 10 per cent of students with the highest levels of education. In lower middle-income countries, the percentage was 26 per cent. These figures demonstrated that children from the wealthiest households were disproportionately favoured since they were the ones heavily represented among those with highest levels of education.vii"

https://www.languageonthemove.com/language-costs/
Says "The cost of raising two children bilingually in English and German in Denver, Colorado, USA, costs USD 254,000 dollars" and "South Korea roughly 40% of that country’s public education budget (est USD 12 billion dollars) went towards English language education." and "A national annual investment of around USD 12 billion for foreign language learning is HUGE! Now add to that an additional private investment of KRW 1.5 trillion (around USD 13 billion). A nation of less than 50 million inhabitants spending USD 25 billion per annum on English language learning is an average expenditure of more than USD500 per person per year on English language learning. Wow!" and "the U.S. economy saves $19 billion p.a. by not needing to spend time and effort in formal schooling on learning foreign languages."

Says "From USD8,000 to USD200,000 depending on location and whether provision is state or privately funded." and "87% of parents around the world are helping to fund their child’s education" and "Hong Kong (USD132,161), followed by the UAE (USD99,378) and Singapore (USD70,939), contribute the most." and "Parents across the world... personal, lifestyle and financial sacrifices... forfeiting ‘me time’... reducing leisure activities... going the extra mile to help their child succeed." and "The importance of a postgraduate degree to their future job prospects is even more widely recognised among parents in mainland China (91%), Indonesia (91%) and Mexico (90%)." and "In France, only 36% of parents feel confident their child will get a great job." and "In nine of the 15 countries surveyed, paying for their child’s education is most likely to be parents’ biggest financial commitment, above others such as mortgage/rent payments and household bills."

https://bangaloremirror.indiatimes.com/bangalore/others/parents-spend-rs-43000-a-year-on-childs-education-survey/articleshow/90828818.cms
Says "India city households spend an average of Rs 29,000 to Rs 43,000 per child annually." and "on top of that they spend an additional Rs 10,000 to Rs 16,000 annually on after-school eductaion" and "many high-end schools are increasing fees, international schools charge more than RS 1 lakh per month, and including miscelleneous costs if a parent is already spending Rs 12 lakh per year on one child, imagine the financial burden for those parents who have multiple children!"

Or in other words we are quoting scientists, experts, and other sources. We try to show the source as much as possible. Especially in reference to any medical or health related claims. Regardless, even if we're quoting a professional or expert it doesn't mean that the information is correct, right, authorized, licensed, true, etc. Our words should never be used as advice or followed without first consulting a trusted professional such as a doctor, professor, licensed professional, certified expert, etc, who is licensed and a well recognized authority on the subject. We do our best to find the leading experts, doctors, scientists, professors, and professionals to assist, advise, and approve our actions, statements and services before we do anything or publish anything, and we quote them directly or in a way that doesn't change the meaning and impact, and include their name and reference. However, this doesn't mean that we've always contacted them. And it doesn't mean that we have their approval, consent, support, or that they agree with us. In short, we could be wrong, you could lose money, your health, your friends, your reputation, your livelihood, and everything, and even more. We've listed many of our primary sources in our full disclaimer for your convenience. To read our full disclaimer please go here: https://chatfellow.blogspot.com/p/disclaimer.html
If we have used any images or materials that you think are yours, or have any problems with, please contact us immediately to have your concerns made known, we will apologize and have the material removed immediately and compensation negotiated.

Or not. You'll never know until you try; but please do so with caution, always consult a professional first (doctor, professor, licensed professional, certified expert, etc).
