Not only that, but many of his books are freely available epubs with no DRM. You can read them and decide if you like his style before going on to buy the others.

My recommendation is Language Transfer, a freely-available system for multiple languages that, in my opinion, helps you to think in another language better than any other system I have tried.

I would bet good money that Trump cares just as little about white children.

He actually wrote a manual on his method, where it came from, and how it works. I’m not sure if it is still available for download. I got a copy a couple of years ago.

Are you have to do is get past the first lesson, and then it’s all language training.

It’s an interactive lesson. You listen to the teacher explaining something to the student, then you pause the audio and try to answer your self, then you continue and listen to the student’s response. If you try it, you’ll find that it’s very natural and effective.

One of those superlatives may well have been mine. I speak English natively, and have learned French, German, Sesotho, and Japanese (with a combination of classroom and immersion). Learning Spanish with Language Transfer immediately felt right and natural, and I wish I had it for those other languages. I really have never found a better system.

It’s not a miracle, and the teacher emphasizes the need for practicing the newfound skills (conversations with native speakers, watching TV or videos, etc.) in order to truly embed it in your brain. But this course really does give you the tools to understand grammar and the connections between the different languages.

The problem is that the introduction for each of the courses is simply a description of his teaching method. go to the second lesson, and you all find the meat of the course starting.

The courses are all just audio files. You don’t need anything else, and I think they work very well. The app is very convenient, simple but without unnecessary bills and whistles and it works fine. This also means that you can download them, put them into your favorite music or podcasting app, or whatever else you want. I consider it a feature, not a bug.

The first episode is an introduction to the teaching method. For the language part, you should start with the second episode.

He is not a native speaker for all the languages, of course. His accent is very English, and from his name I would guess that he speaks Greek natively. But he is also fluent in at least Spanish, the course that I have used, having lived in Spanish-speaking countries.

The best language learning system I’ve found is Language Transfer .

It’s free, but it easily beats Duolingo and anything else I have tried (short of total immersion).

I still donate $10/month even though I haven’t used it for a while, because I want it to succeed!

Just audio. But it is presented in a way that helps you to learn, rather than just remember. If you give it a try, I promise that you will be shocked at how you can retain the knowledge.

It isn’t enough on its own, however. You need to reinforce the lessons by speaking to people, reading, and/or TV and movies.

A guy near my home is flying two American flags in front of his house. The thing is, we’re in Canada…

I have found Duolingo much, much less useful for language learning than Language Transfer. The latter actually helps you learn to think in another language rather than memorize things (which is still useful, but not nearly as much).

Short if total immersion, I have found nothing better than LT.

I know someone who works in a university group related to privacy issues. He refuses to have a smartphone because of the ease which which almost anyone can track you and your activities. I think he has an old flip phone.

It makes more sense to refer to RFK Sr. Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.

“Whatabout…”

But how much do IP laws actually protect the little guy? When a large corporation can bankrupt me by prolonging litigation until I have nothing left, what leverage do I really have?

There are certainly cases where small creators and inventors were able to overcome this disadvantage, but I suspect that they are the tiny minority, celebrated when they do achieve it.

I’m not sure there has been a president in anyone’s lifetime we didn’t commit multiple crimes against humanity. Roosevelt had the Japanese internment camps. Kennedy had the Bay of Pigs. Maybe Jimmy Carter was the only one.

I was seeing a lot of crashes two or three years ago, but none in the past year or so.

I guess if you can’t rely on human intelligence, you have to hope that artificial intelligence can do the job.
