Half-time work on a new audio course!
This both covers the ground costs of LT (web, hosting etc) and allows Mihalis to dedicate himself half-time to creating a free audio language course (Introduction or Complete) and make at least two free open public workshops a month responding to needs in the local area. With this model you can expect at least one new course a year (more for less challenging languages)!
The following courses to come (for which most of the work has already been done) are Complete Greek and German, then LT will start work on the course which has accumulated the most votes!

Half-time work on a new audio course and dissemination activities!
This adds an extremely important dimension to LT's work: getting it out there!
If you've had the experience of the LT courses, then you might feel that bug in your tummy of wanting others to experience it too!
With a little extra funding LT can source collaborations and create short videos about various fascinating elements of language which aren't only of great interest to existing users, but have great potential to bring more users into the project.

Full-time work on a new audio course and dissemination activities!
This amount both covers the ground costs of LT (web, hosting etc) and allows Mihalis to dedicate himself full-time to creating one free audio course at a time and make at least four free open public workshops a month responding to needs in the local area. With this model you can expect a new course every 4-9 months depending on the language, as well as the dissemination activities.

Audio courses, dissemination campaigns, and publications!
Apart from the above activities, this allows LT to work on one publication at a time which will be available for both free PDF download and for hardcopy purchase and in turn, will generate more funds for LT!
The publications currently planned are for Greek and Arabic Script, both of which look at the connections between these scripts and the Latin script we use in English in order to learn the new scripts with ease and excitement.
Following these publications, books on vocabulary including vocabulary cards available for various languages will be designed. These will delve into the fascinating world of vocabulary and how the way we represent ideas in different languages makes various suggestions which we should stop to consider whilst learning, and in order to learn, new words!

'Language Monkey' Feature length Documentary
For some years now Mihalis has been quietly thinking about and planning the feature length documentary 'Language Monkey' which looks to de-shroud the omnipresent yet invisible world of language.
The feature length documentary should render it impossible for any viewer to think about the language phenomenon in the same way again, or understand themselves or society in the same light!
The documentary will also bring many more into the world of language (transfer) learning!

Time to make a team!
From here we have the opportunity to convert LT from a personal activism project which relies on volunteer collaborations, to a team with other permanent members. LT will be able to hire for diffusion and dissemination activities, and for additional course writing!

This doesn't cease to shock, but Language Transfer's Mihalis Eleftheriou records (confidently the best) courses for languages he doesn't speak! Not only this, but courses which are full of original and unique perspectives and discoveries in the new language. How?
With the method he's been developing over the past 5 years, Mihalis dissects a language to its most basic components, and puts them back together with you in a way which is highly memorable, stimulating, empowering and most importantly, creates a heightened language consciousness which is invaluable in life and language learning!
During the process you learn to SPEAK a language almost effortlessly, right from the beginning, witnessing your results instantly and constantly.
