Not what I was looking for...

Revisado: 03-13-25

I like DBT, and have learned a lot from the book, "The high conflict couple." I wanted to find a book that had the same principles but could be applied to an 11 year old boy. I started listening to this to see if it would be good for my son who is a good kid, but sometimes has a hard time expressing himself when he is frustrated (like everyone at that age). It seemed okay. I didn't really like the emphasis on highly sensitive people, rather than just people, because I think it is invalidating. It is normal to feel strong emotions, and since validating is such an important part of dbt, it kinda seems like a step backwards, for someone like him who is just learning to deal with very normal emotions. Then it started getting into weird gender stuff. I know that some people feel like emotions are feminine, but for my son, I think that would be a new idea, and so it would again be invalidating and cause more harm than good. Also, anything that uses words like "assigned male at birth," is just not what I am looking for for my child. I want him to feel secure in his biology. He is male. He has a Y chromosome. His feelings are human feelings not male or female feelings, and not highly sensitive feelings... They are just human feelings. And DBT has some really good tools people can use to express and live with their human feelings. I just wish I could find a book that comes from that vantage point. "DBT skills for humans.".

Perfect for Children and Adults

Revisado: 10-14-23

While I think a lot of this may go over his head, my 10 year old absolutely loved this book. He finished the entire thing and is now half way through the pediatric one as well. He has learned a lot of vocabulary. His Dad is a doctor and it's fun for him to be able to recognize and participate in medical conversations. He will say things like, "I had a patient like that!" Or "Dad, I lost a patient today. She has a heart attack.". It's been a super fun way for him to be exposed to vocabulary, so even if he doesn't remember what everything means, it's familiar and he gets excited when he recognizes a new medical term. Note: lectures 5, 10, and 14 have cases that may be disturbing for children such as child abuse, domestic violence, and attempted suicide.

Perfect for Beginners or Reviewers

Revisado: 12-02-22

I absolutely love this. I've been listening with my 9 year old. He's learning and I'm reviewing (and learning new things as well). I love the bits of etymology, and language learning in general. I got the Language transfer app and I am now learning Greek. I plan on working my way through all eight available languages, and any more they release. It's perfect and free.

Perfect for Children and Adults too

Revisado: 10-25-22

The whole family loved it! I loved the narrator. The stores were rich and wonderfully told. The music added so much excitement. My kids listen over and over, and I am okay with that because I truly enjoy it. I wish I could find more audiobooks like this. This is a true masterpiece.

maybe not for beginners

Revisado: 04-08-22

I think if someone knew some Thai, and just needed to review before a trip, this would be useful. it is like a little phrase book, but since I am a complete beginner, it is pretty over my head. I am not sure from the sentences what words mean what, and I don't know how to make the tones, so I'm pretty sure I'm butchering the language. however for the price, I can't really complain too much.

Wonderful

Perfect. If you want to learn Japanese, start here. If you bought the Japanese Rosetta Stone, and feel like it's useless, don't despair. After using this course my Rosetta stone finally makes sense, and has a lot of vocabulary that I can add in to the structures taught in this book. Japanese makes more sense now. I will be buying the next one. I will probably buy other languages as well. I hope Paul Noble creates more languages like this.

Good review and listening practice

Revisado: 03-25-22

This was a short, but good little listening practice after using Paul Noble's first Japanese course. It's fun to see how much you can understand. As a learning tool, it would be better if the native speaker did a show version of the sentence as well, but as a review we've listening exercise, it was fine.
