Sorry there haven’t been any new lessons lately. actually I am working on some great new lessons and also some videos.

The problem is that the forum on this site is a little broken at the moment. You can still use it to reply to old messages, but it won’t let you make new discussions. I am working very hard to fix this as quickly as possible.

Hopefully it will be fixed very soon!

I will let you know when it is.

Your hard-working friend

John
