Use these pages to gain an understanding of NLP, discover the different processes and techniques and try them out for yourself. You will find them fascinating and they will add value to you. Don’t forget that in order to realise the full potential of NLP, you would be best doing a full NLP certification course. In the meantime these resources will give you a good taster for what NLP is about.
