What is NOETIC ENGLISH? We use the mind to memorize the facts when we learn a subject and store them in the brain. Unfortunately,whatever facts we memorized,the mind doesn’t remember them instantly when they are needed the most especially during the examinations. This has been the common problem among many people. The best solution to overcome this problem is to use the NOETIC SYSTEM of LEARNING! The word ‘Noetic’ originates from the Greek word ‘Noetikos’ which means the Power of Inner Learning or Direct Learning. The NOETIC SYSTEM of LEARNING is a learning technique where a person learns a subject with consciousness. The person has to realize from the depth of the heart that only with great ENTHUSIASM(passion),the whole process of learning is made ENJOYABLE and EASY. This AWARENESS is very important.It enables the learner to APPRECIATE the subject in a HOLISTIC manner. We must approach this subject,the NOETIC way in order to LEARN,UNDERSTAND and APPRECIATE from the depth of the heart. Let’s learn English with AWARENESS.ENTHUSIASM and DETERMINATION by using the proven TECHNIQUES of 13SECRETS SPEAKING ENGLISH made EASY. Let’s ENJOY CONVERSING in ENGLISH!
