The Direct Language project has ended and can be viewed in its entirety archived below. A selection of the videos is also available as an unlimited edition series of DVDs, unostentatiously packaged in a plain cover with a handwritten label. This can be purchased for a nominal amount to cover materials, handling and postage. Email me for details with "Direct Language DVD" in the subject field.
