Automatic Fluency: Latin American Spanish for Conversation/Level One
Summary
Today, I am going to show you how to take your first big step towards really becoming conversationally fluent in Spanish. All it takes is a few minutes of your time every day to actually speak and understand authentic conversational Spanish and build fluency one lesson at a time. Please remember this: None of the language programs out there that you've been using are really focusing on fluency. Even the best language programs are pattern rich, but vocabulary and memory poor. They're focusing on making you feel good, and you go away speaking a couple of sentences that you may later forget entirely. I have a better system. A superior approach. It's called Automatic Fluency™. Using my Automatic Fluency™ programs does not "guarantee" fluency, but it does guarantee you the best fluency-building training in the industry. Yes. Only my Automatic Fluency® programs have the added advantage of real fluency building with vocabulary-rich memory-rich simplicity. They're all audio for maximum learning flexibility, all programs teach the same high frequency language that native speakers use, and all use my original spaced memory repetition that allows you to use your own creativity while enhancing your language memory. Just as important, only my Automatic Fluency® programs teach you more than enough high-frequency vocabulary to truly build fluency and enough interval memory practice to really make it stick. My unique proven fluency approach is built into each and every Automatic Fluency™ program. Conversational fluency-building features include: High frequency language—allows you to communicate faster Memory enhancing retrieval techniques—lets you remember the words while you learn Cutting edge original sentence creation techniques—speak your own mind in a comfortable way that is natural to you Mark Frobose—your multilingual English speaking language guide and teacher, explaining everything in English. Trained educated native Spanish speakers! Complete listening guide & free ebook included.

"I Give You My Body..."
Summary
For writers looking to make sure their next physical interludes on the page inspire readers to share the moment rather than to laugh at it, best-selling author Diana Gabaldon divulges the writing secrets behind the sex scenes in her wildly popular Outlander novels. "Ask me to your bed," he said. "I shall come to ye." In this revealing compendium, acclaimed writer Diana Gabaldon shares her invaluable lessons for creating an immersive reading experience, from evoking a mood to using the power of emotions to communicate physical intimacy. You'll learn the difference between gratuitous sex and genuine encounters that move the story forward and how to handle less-than-savory acts that nevertheless serve a narrative purpose. Gabaldon also notes that sex can be conveyed instead of described. With such tips as The Rule of Three for involving the senses, handy lists of naughty euphemisms (with instructions for use), and Gabaldon's own examples from the Outlander novels, "I Give You My Body..." is a master class in writing to draw readers in and keep them riveted to the page.
