Which course do I choose?
The BASICS Course is the essential place to start. This will give you an understanding of the Gears in The MECAnism® tool, and how you can use them to help you learn The Human Language®. Courses 1, 2 and 3 all use these Gears. You can access the BASICS Course right away here, and buy any of the other courses at the same time.
The four courses have been created to build upon each other. So firstly you learn to gain an inner understanding of yourself, then to empathise with others, and then to converse with others in The Human Language. So we’d recommend taking them in order, if possible, to gain the most from your learning journey. However, each one is also designed to stand alone, for you to take the one(s) you are drawn to, once you have taken the BASICS Course first.
