They are excited by all these new ideas and are eager to learn, and of course speak fluent English so I am able to practise in my native tongue. It also means I can spread the practise of EFT by training Practitioners so that a country and a people I have grown to love can benefit hence my role as AAMET Representative for Portugal.
