"As for the language course," she continued. "That works slowly. It'll take several days before it really catches on. Within a few hours, you should be able to pick basic phrases up with little effort. The program wires your synapses the way you would learn in real life in order to avoid altering your mental condition. You'll learn to understand what you hear faster than you can speak it and both of those faster than you can read or write. So give it time. By the end of the week, you should be fluent as a native speaker."
