Body Language Decoded
Like Duolingo, but for Body Language Decoded. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
A short one: 26 levels across 3 sections, about 52 minutes end to end, roughly 10 days at five minutes a day. It moves through The Basics of Silent Talk, Reading People in Real Life, and Using Your Body to Succeed. It starts from scratch.
