  • Hi

    The content is dense, too concentrated and mainly people speaking fast and sometimes with complex accents , the content of it can be analysed in calm is amazing but to listen as long as it goes is too much, too mental!

  • Hi

    In the Last episode Amelia jurado speaks with a Spanish accent but with so much flow and security that it doesn’t bother me, funny that other non natives that speak “better”, more words and better pronunciation they speak with more insecurity and doubt about their own English…. I was wondering if people also strain speaking a second language unless they reach a native or secure point in that language or feel loved relaxed….

    I’m amazed by amelia’s security and relaxation.

  • Great job to keep this information up.

    Thank you for sharing this information. It is shame that eye doctors are not taught this and even worse, they badmouth about it without understanding it.

072: June 1925 with Nathan Oxenfeld and June Milich
Q: When I look at an object and blink, it appears to jump with each blink. Would this be considered the short swing?
Yes, you unconsciously look from one side to the other of the object when blinking.
073: July 1925 with Nathan Oxenfeld and Claudia Muehlenweg
Q: I have understood that if glasses are not worn, the sight becomes worse.
After wearing glasses and then removing them, the vision is always worse than if they had never been worn.
071: May 1925 with Nathan Oxenfeld and Nina Hutchings
Q: Dr. Bates says that in reading fine print, one should look between the lines. Is this not contrary to the principles of central fixation?
One can look between the lines and shift to the black letters with central fixation.
063: September 1924 with Esther Joy van der Werf and Nina Hutchings
Q: Is there any power in the lens of dark sunglasses? Are they harmful?
Yes, dark glasses are very injurious to the eyes.

Q: Some days I can read the Snellen test card to the 15 line, others only to the 30 or 20 line.
When the eye strain is least, the vision is always better.
