WARNING: This Workbook based guide<\/strong> is NOT a standard language learning resource.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

I've called it a quick and dirty guide because that's what it is.<\/p>\n

This workbook assumes you're willing to spend time sitting behind your PC (and also on your mobile) listening to audiios corresponding to clickable words and phrases, (and pictures that appear for relevant items). See link to request free preview further down.<\/p>\n

It is mainly meant for people who want a basic introduction to get started speaking English or French.<\/h3>\n

It provides a snapshot of basic vocabulary and expressions needed to functionally integrate into French or English speaking communities as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

It could be that you're a French speaking person from a Francophone country visiting Ghana or Nigeria on holidays. Or you could be a South African visiting one or more of the Francophone African countries (e.g. Togo) under the auspices of your organisation (or on private business).<\/p>\n

Your efforts will be quickly rewarded. You will learn the right phrases or words to say in response to common queries and expressions. And you'll have a good idea of how to pronounce them, so you are easily understood.<\/p>\n

Due to pressure from local professionals in Cotonou when I relocated in 2013, created what I called a \"Quick & Dirty Guide to English Language for French Speakers\".<\/h3>\n

People kept asking me to teach them to speak English (the government has said they should all aim to be bilingual).<\/p>\n

My first sale of Part 1: Les Salutations (Greetings) <\/strong>was to a medical doctor who literally grabbed me in a cyber cafe, after hearing me make a call to Nigeria speaking English for about 30 minutes via Skype.<\/p>\n

He insisted we become friends and speak on phone so he could improve his fluency. We never found enough time to do that due to his busy schedule. So the DVD proved handy.<\/p>\n

This DVD comes as an Excel-VB app that you can click each greeting in a menu to hear my voice reciting the EXACT phrase, and responses, sometimes giving alternatives.<\/p>\n

Part 2 has one page pictorial CONVERSATIONS (e.g Asking for Directions), in PowerPoint slideshow formats, accompanied with audios, as well as a slideshow that identifies ALL the body parts \u2013 using a full length photo of me (and my voice)\u2026LOL!<\/p>\n

When you join the Farm Business Ideas club, you'll get the Part 1 DVD as a BONUS.<\/h3>\n

Watch the preview of the video I created with a team of students from the National University campus that I co-opted within a few days of my arrival - on the sales page below:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/tayosolagbade.com\/qdg.html<\/a><\/p>\n

NB: I've since redone ALL the audios in my own voice on the advice of a bilingual client who does language translations.<\/p>\n

Buy ANY of my products\/services from N12.5k upwards, and get A FREE copy of Part 1 of my \"Quick & Dirty Guide to English Language for French Speakers\" (N5k) - as described above.<\/h3>\n

Purchasing ANY product or service from N12.5k upwards from any of the locations listed below, gets you this product free:<\/p>\n

CONVERSATIONAL FLUENCY GROUP EXERCISES - To Aid French Speakers learning the English Language<\/span>!<\/h3>\n

I'm planning a special event to be held at agreed venues for interested groups as I travel, for persons who purchase copes of this guide i.e. French speakers who want to learn to speak<\/strong> English more proficiently.<\/p>\n

They will write short (one page) speeches in their favoured French Language, and I will help them translate it to English.<\/p>\n

They will then be coached to deliver the English versions of their speeches to audiences as a way of helping them gain better grasp of the language.<\/p>\n

This is an exercise I have personally benefitted from. My plan is to engage the support of sponsors - to publicise this event, to organise it for as many groups as are interested.<\/p>\n

A Website That Works Wins You Repeat Visitors, Leads, & Sales: NOT Admirers & Compliments!<\/a><\/h2>\n

For some time now, I have had the opportunity to discuss extensively with many entrepreneurs and business owners(some being clients for whom I had to build websites) about what kind of online presence they need to have for their businesses. In many cases I have found these individuals to be MORE preoccupied with the aesthetics [\u2026]<\/p>\n

\n[IMPORTANT NOTE:====<\/h3>\n

On 4th May 2014, Tayo's 9 year old domain (Spontaneousdevelopment dot com), which hosted his website, was taken over by Aplus.net. <\/em><\/p>\n

Within a few days however, Tayo used his advanced self-taught web development skills to build a SUPERIOR \"reincarnation\" of it the website http:\/\/www.tayosolagbade.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But updates are still ongoing to URLs bearing the old domain name in most of the over 1,000 web pages, and blog posts <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

he's published.<\/p>\n

If you experience any difficulties finding a page or document, email Tayo at tksola dot com.<\/p>\n
