Four Finger Rule FAQs
What is the Four Finger Rule?
A practical way to prepare useful conversations, listen for key information, and adapt when plans change. You practise real tasks instead of trying to learn an entire language at once.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Begin with one polite request and one useful goal. Later lessons ask you to change details and become more independent.
Is it only for travel?
No. The method also supports everyday work, study, and digital tasks. Practise emergency language in a safe role-play; use local emergency services when you need urgent help.
Will it guarantee fluency?
No. The aim is practical independence and useful communication. Progress depends on your practice and opportunities to use the language.
What is included?
The Master Edition PDF, complete 52-week practice course, and a Passport tracker for Weeks 13–52. Read the course preview.
How much does it cost?
The planned launch price is US$52 as a one-time payment. Enrollment remains closed while checkout and delivery are completed.
How do I get the files?
Purchase downloads will appear in the order email and account when enrollment opens. To find an existing order, sign in to My account using the account for that order, then open Downloads or Orders. Unzip the course package and open Complete_52_Week_Practice_Course.html. Begin with Week 1 and keep a local copy for practice. If your phone only previews the HTML, use the included weekly text files or open the extracted HTML on a computer.
Where do I record Weeks 1–12?
Use the self-check and reflection in each lesson to record one sentence you could say, what changed and what to practise next. The separate Passport table begins at Week 13.
Are weekly emails active?
Not yet. The complete course package contains all 52 weeks, so it can be followed at your own pace. Scheduled lesson emails are still being configured.
Can I try a lesson first?
Week 1 is free, including a worked conversation, preparation sheet, ten-minute routine, and self-check.
Can I work with Colin?
Send a coaching inquiry with your goal and availability. Private sessions are separate from the course.
Where do I get support?
Use the support page. For an order, include its number and describe the issue. Never send passwords or card details.
What is the refund policy?
Founding 100 customers may request a full refund within 52 weeks of purchase. You do not need to complete the course to request a refund. This guarantee is exclusive to the Founding 100. A refund ends paid access and releases the Founder number back to the available pool. Contact Colin through the support page with your order number to request help or a refund. If a file or access link fails, contact us so we can fix the delivery problem promptly.
How does Founding 100 work?
The first 100 qualifying paid students receive a permanent numbered Founder identity and a complimentary 30-minute Founder Meet & Greet with Colin: a personal introduction to the program, separate from a paid English session. There are 100 genuine positions; the limit does not reset. A refunded Founder purchase releases that position. Test purchases do not count.
