An Illustration for a "new" Richard A. Payne book by Dorothy M. Speiser

Richard A. Payne Productions

Imagine if you will, two (2) fish out in the ocean talking to each other about fire! Many of them end their existence on this planet being cooked over a fire to be eaten by man, yet I wonder if they are capable of talking about it. It is thoughts like that which makes me write.

Richard A. Payne loves foreign languages, which he believes only remain "foreign" until we make the effort to learn them. He enjoys walking down the street in cities like Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada where you can hear 20 languages being spoken within a city block. So please indulge him and forever what he does to this language if it is yours, he tried.

A Message in Russian, I hope:

Я написал и издал четыре книги. Мою четвертую книгу называют; БАНДЖО и ТЕЛЕСКОП. Я написал это на английском языке, и мой хороший друг Иери Ошмьянскаый перевел это на русский язык. Мне редактировали его работу Еленой Рабинович. Я хотел общаться с российскими людьми разговора, что я боялся выращивания. Я хотел разделить сообщение дружбы с ними. Это - моя первая книга, написанная на иностранном языке. Я теперь имею два новых, готовые пойти, каждый находится на английском, испанском и китайском и втором на английском, испанском и арабском языке. Я хочу идею поощрить изучение вторых языков распространить …, пожалуйста помогите мне в этом усилии. Если мир должен когда-либо обладать миром во всем мире, то мы должны быть в состоянии общаться друг с другом и улаживать наши различия, как они возникают. Пойдите в мою веб-страницу и узнайте обо мне, и затем попросите, чтобы ваши друзья сделали то же самое. www.richardapayne.com

And something in Spanish.

 

Tengo gran ideas para cuatro (4) nuevos libros. Un libro es escrito en inglés, español y chino, uno en inglés, español y árabe y dos (2) en inglés & español. Dos son mi más tradicional de tipo historias de historias, basado en cosa que tiene sucede realmente a mí. Uno es una clase de historia de tipos. Está acerca de los hombres, los buques y la batalla de la Marina de Tejas, yo he estado pensando de ello durante 20 años. Uno es una historia de la familia, de alimento y de acontecimientos que ilustran cuán importante una familia fuerte puede ser. Si usted tiene cualquier idea acerca de publicar un libro en español por favor me deja caer una línea. ¡Necesito realmente su ayuda, por favor! (www.richardapayne.com)

And something in French in memory of my mom.

Ma mère, Marjorie Rees Clark était né et a élevé en Pennsylvanie. Son père était vétéran de la Première Guerre Mondiale. Il a été rendu infirme par cette guerre. Sa maman est morte quand elle était cinq, partant l'être élevée par un vétéran rendu infirme. Il a combattu en France et a vécu là pour la partie de 1918, tout 1919 et partie de 1920. Il a appris du français et l'a enseigné elle. Elle a aimé la langue, et a essayé de l'enseigner me. Je me suis rendu compte de l'expérience comment dur à entrer en la guerre avec les gens que tous parlent des langues différentes. Comment dur en fait, le ce doit être à pour le monde pour régler la différence ou accomplir « n'importe quoi » sans les gens qui parle plus qu'une langue? Mon neveu était le premier soldat de Colorado pour mourir en Iraq , dans cette guerre actuelle qu'Amérique lui-même trouve impliqué. Mes amis apprenant une seconde ou un tiers ou une quatrième langue est une étape vers aider le monde grandit hors le besoin pour la guerre et devient un monde à la paix !  'écris des livres dans au moins deux langues commençant avec LE BANJO & LE TELESCOPE, dans les espoirs qu'il encouragera des enfants pour apprendre autant de langues que leurs petites têtes et les petits coeurs peuvent tenir.  Je vous demande de m'aider dans deux façons…trouve un éditeur pour publier ces nouveaux livres et l'un, étaler le mot de mes objectifs et travailler en obtenant vos amis pour examiner ma page web … www.richardapayne.com

 Merci,

Richard A. Payne

The truth is both my mother and my father could speak a second language....they both spoke pretty good Spanish and mom some French. The man who took me in when I was 14 spoke English and German, so the idea of speaking a "second" language seemed pretty nature to me. I dedicate this web-page to Marjorie R. Clark Payne, Eugene Russell Payne and Denis F. Carey.
