This formula (or equation) developed by James Hogan, with the assistance of Adult English School and Adult Language School, is the result of research, interviews with thousands of students, and countless highly productive discussions with language tutors over a 10 year period.

This formula will continue to grow and develop

The Hogan Language Formula
developed by James Hogan at Adult English School in Sydney, Australia.

PF + P + T + PE + PMT + R + LS + TC + C + ({L+R+W+S}/4=MTS) + LE + SP + RD + LC + LEH + EC + GS + FC + CLRMT + DMS + ATM + A + LAS + LTT + ECT = _____ /250
Where 250=1-4 weeks and 50=More than 2 years.
