Hello Dawn. How are you? #1 Identify your feelings about several important issues; say for example, about 4 of them. Here are some suggestions: (a) Do Good and Evil Objectively Exist? (b) How do you define MAN? (c) Does Life have PURPOSE? (d) Does FREE WILL exist. . #2 After you have identified some of your feelings on such subjects, engage in a process of distinguishing your Ideas about such issues, from your feelings about such issues. #3 When you have managed to make distinctions between What---You--Feel and What---You--Think, you can proceed to acquire some knowledge, usually by reading books or studying arguments FOR or AGAINST any specific Idea and thereby acquiring certain knowledge on these subjects for yourself. With your mind beginning to develop by such a method, you can begin to SPEAK---AT---WILL with other persons. Of course, you can bypass all of this, and copy the people at the Fast Food restaurants, and learn to speak spontaneously, at will, and say things like: "I would like a Number One Meal, Supersized...etc." It does not really matter what the language is. If you want to SPEAK---AT---WILL, you are going to have to know something to speak about. If one really wants the power to speak at will on any subject, it will be necessary to cultivate a method. Absent a method, one can always use simple memory, and imitate the speech that one hears others use. Tourist books in a language, can teach you how to ask simple questions like: "Which bus can take me to the airport?" or "What is your phone number?" But if you want want to have the power to speak at will, it is necessary to learn a method. .--Warm Regards, Bruce

Try talking about where you live, and your daily activities. The weather is always a good topic and so is transportation. Do you ride a bicycle, walk, or take public transportation? Do you own a car or a truck? Do you do any vehicle maintenance? Tell about when a vehicle failed and what you had to do.
