Hi.

This is something to think about. As I mentioned in the other thread we will work on a widget or Flash app that can guide you through each letter and pronunciation.

However...

Ec works differently than other natural languages because of how it can be used. It is a very personal language because it has to do with perception.

If I point to a glass and say "de sticlă" then you can map one concept in your mind ("glass") to a new concept in Romanian ("de sticlă").

However, in Ec, you are talking about possibilities for the glass. You can talk about a glass in general or a very specific glass (like the short, transparent glass half-filled with orange juice sitting on the left side of the kitchen counter at 4pm on Sunday the 5th of January).

The level of depth is up to you.

But the deeper you go, the less others would understand your own "word" in Ec because they cannot see exactly what you are perceiving.

Using Ec for the first time is just like using a new computer for the first time. You have the basics but nothing else. You can use it but it becomes much more useful when you personalize it.

Meaning, you can translate the word 'glass' into Ec but it is really only useful when you translate 'glass' into your own definition of it in Ec (i.e., your own perspective)

Try this, to begin:

Pick a couple of Ec numbers/values to learn

0 - mu
1 - unu
2 - dua
3 - sun
4 - tatat
5 - wu
6 - sumi
7 - naru
8 - bu
9 - ta
(continuous) - kata
(changing) - booba

from this list, pick out 2-3 numbers and remember them.

Map your brain

When you see three things together, say "sun", for example.

For added bonus, think of the symbol for it.

What you are doing here is re-mapping your brain. I believe that this is where the difficulty is in understanding how Ec works. It is difficult to see how this mapping occurs, but it is how the brain works.

How does it work?
When we map one concept to another and use it then it will become more obvious how Ec can be used.

(Using it is the important part)

Quite difficult to explain, but by using Ec you are thinking in the language of perception.

Eventually, you will be able to teleport to a very specific location that you have defined in Ec by simply repeating the symbols and thinking of their values. (It's more reality-shifting than teleportation, but you get the idea.)

It is like putting the latitude and longitude coordinates into a vehicle and being driven there. Except you are interfacing directly with your perception rather than a vehicle.

By using Ec you are programming your perception. Ec is the software and your brain is the hardware, so to speak.

This is all quite new to everyone, I know. But it takes some time to understand and to get to the point where you are in control of what you perceive.

Baby steps is best, but I think the above is a good start.
