Reading through this book it is obvious that Mr. Breen knows his stuff. The concepts are clearly presented and easy to understand. Individual techniques are broken down and explained with accompanying photographs. Individual techniques are not what this book is about. Its about the big picture. Reading it has given me a lot of ideas for improving my own practice. My only serious complaint with this book was that, upon finishing it, I was left wanting more.

In this groundbreaking book, Wierzbicka demonstrates that every language has its "key concepts" and that these key concepts reflect the core values of the culture. Further, she argues that within a culture-independent analytical framework one can study, compare, and even explain cultures to outsiders through their key concepts. The framework Wierzbicka proposes is the well-known "natural semantic metalanguage" that she developed with her colleagues. For this study, Wierzbicka focuses on four languages and cultures: Japanese, Australian English, Polish, and Russian. She identifies "culture laden" words in each of these languages; these words are, in a sense, "untranslatable." She shows, however, that the words can be "explained" by means of the semantic metalanguage's hypothetical semantic primitives such as someone, something, do, happen, want, say, know, think, good, bad , etc.
