SUGGESTOPAEDIA – DESUGGESTIVE TEACHING COMMUNICATIVE METHOD ON THE LEVEL OF THE HIDDEN RESERVES OF THE HUMAN MIND My personal belief is that human hidden reserves are endless. However, science has reached an understanding that they are far larger than currently realized?. (Dr. G. Lozanov?s speech at the meeting of the twenty UNESCO experts,1978) (Actually, the beginning of a new science reservology , i.e. tenderly use the oppressed capabilities we have in our minds, starts. Instead of suggestopaedia in the future the science and the methodology will be called reservopaedia.) In the very early stage when the present book was started, Bill Munro and Lupe, San Diego, U.S.A, were very kind to edit it and to advice me for some topics. Five years later when the book was enlarged Czeslawa Rudawska, Katowice, Poland, was very kind to edit it. It was very kind of Keneward Hill, Sofia, Bulgaria, to edit the book before publishing. The parts of the book about the latest development of suggestopaedia-desuggestive teaching were translated by Radostina Ivanova Mihaleva, Sofia, Bulgaria. 1 I kindly express gratitude to Professor Setsuko Iki, Tokyo, Japan, for her help with providing me with favourable conditions for writing.
