LEFT BRAIN vs RIGHT BRAIN...kind of a myth BUT...
After years of analytical English study, your brain is very strong at rules and word-by-word processing. This has traditionally been referred to as LEFT BRAIN skills. What we need to develop now is the more intuitive, natural side of communication — things like rhythm, intonation, emotional tone (prosody), humor, and predicting what comes next in a conversation. Research shows the right hemisphere plays a particularly important role in processing prosody and emotional aspects of speech. For real communication (listening/speaking) skills we, of course, need both the Right and Left to cooperate. It’s actually very difficult to consciously train the more natural, intuitive side of English communication — things like rhythm, emotional tone (prosody), humor, and understanding the flow without translating in your head. Your analytical skills are already strong from years of school English. What we need now is to develop the subconscious, automatic side. That's exactly what PIRF and DDM are designed to do. This is just an FYI for people who want to know WHY we do what we do!
