Introduction: what is the point of this Patreon?

As many of you know, recognizing the prominence of comprehensible input for second language acquisition, we initially started our Ayan Academy YouTube Channel to provide such input to which people can expose themselves to their target language, and we did so by recording an extremely well-designed, yet, for the most part, overlooked book or course of Arthur Jensen called English By The Nature Method. It's no doubt that, studied properly and patiently from the beginning to the end, this book forms a very solid basis in English for students (as the Italian version does in Italian and the French version does in French).
Beside these endeavors, since believing that more comprehensible exposition equals to more acquisition in the target language, as Ayan Academy we decided to create more content, this time on patreon. Our aim here, however, is to post texts and audio recordings daily —insofar as possible— to help our students expose themselves to the target language (mainly English for the time being). We are at liberty in this way to post much more content, as opposed to a rather less frequent posting schedule, for it is much more painstaking to make good-quality videos than make sole audio recordings.
You can find several videos on YouTube in which we attempt to explain how we learn/acquire languages and how we can improve this process. We also have videos in several languages as to how to study and use Jensen's Nature Method. We advocate that our students watch these videos a couple of times. In doing so, our students will develop their knowledge of how to learn/acquire a language, which is an immense source of motivation, and, in the long run, discipline.
Nevertheless, benefiting from this Patreon page will require only one thing: daily visits to listen to the content we have put up for your level that day.
If you find yourself benefiting from our work, we would like to humbly inform you that you can support us by donating through this Patreon page. In doing so, you not only help us to continue to create more content to help you with your language learning goals, but it also permits access to exclusive content found only here on Patreon and also on our Discord server.
