🇧🇷🇺🇸 Learning Portuguese didn’t just give me another language. It made my English hypnosis sharper. Here’s why it works: • Using a second language increases cognitive effort by ~20–30% • Bilinguals show 5–10% stronger task-switching and focus • Training under higher difficulty improves performance in normal conditions • Slower, deliberate speech boosts perceived confidence by ~25% So when I hypnotize in Portuguese, I can’t autopilot. I slow down. I watch reactions. I choose words carefully.
