Easiest Language to Learn Survey Update

There are some results for the Easiest Language to Learn Survey page. I waited to get a reasonable sampling before compiling some responses. I took the sampling on August 15th, but I have only posted the results now. There have been plenty of other responses since then, so I will most likely update the results on the survey pages on a fairly regular basis, at least for a little while.

Thanks to everyone who took a moment to fill out this survey or any of the others. They will remain on the site in order to continue to gather info from new visitors.

Learn Greek

The most recent issue of the newsletter went out last week. If you missed it, you can view Issue#003 here.

I've also added a Learn Greek page on the site. This page is for Modern Greek, but a page for Classical Greek is coming up soon to keep adding to my 'dead languages' pages.

Language Learning Experiences Survey

Another survey on the site I just added is Language Learning Experiences Survey. It's a general survey to gather info about peoples language study habits. Please fill it out if you have a moment.

Language Surveys Pages

Here comes the flood ... I've put up some survey pages in order to gather some information from visitors. The Surveys page will have links to surveys as I add them, as well as links to other sites that have similar information. The Hardest Language to Learn Survey has been on the site for a while in a few locations. Now I have a permanent home for it. There is also some results on that page for anyone who is interested. I also added an Easiest Language to Learn Survey . Please participate and fill out these simple forms if you haven't already. I will be adding others in the near future and I will update results from time to time.

Review of Idioms Delight

I forgot to post my brief review of Idioms Delight that I put up a few days ago. There is a flood of new stuff on the way, so keep an eye on the RSS feed for lots of changes and additions. Also, there is another issue of the newsletter coming soon.

More Language Articles

Wow, I haven't posted in a while. Sorry, for anyone who follows this here blog. I've actually been thinking of adding a few more blogs (one on learning Spanish, one on learning Cornish and maybe another). I think it would force me to post more often.

Anyway, I added a 4 part series of articles on learning Spanish. They were not written by me but from time to time I like to include other peoples opinions and ideas on learning languages on my site. Learn Spanish: The Cart Before the Horse is the first part. The links to the others are at the bottom of that page. It goes into some detail on the authors ideas for a language learning regimen using Pimsleur and a few other methods. More practical advice that ultimately helps us language learners figure out how to best design our own language program. You can also reach the article from the Language Articles page.

Media Resources for Language Learners

There is a great resource I found recently for language leaners. http://langmedia.fivecolleges.edu/lm_collection.html is a collection of videos in a wide variety of languages. They include transcriptions and translations of short videos on different topics like shopping, asking for direction etc. I've expanded the resources page to include one on Media language Resources, as I find more and more good resources (like video, internet radio, audiomagazines etc) for language learners and I don't want to clutter up that main resource page too much.

I've also added a page on Language Learning Vacations. It's sort of a fancy name for an in-country immersion course, but sometimes they include more cultural tours and other activities.

Cornish Article and Newsletter#002

I wrote an article recently called Cornish Never Died . This is one of several coming on the topic of dead (or nearly dead or dying) languages.

Issue #002 of the newsletter went out last week, just before I left on a trip. You can read backissues here.

Learn Latin

After writing a small article on dead languages in the newsletter, I was prompted to add a Learn Latin page to the site. This will be followed (eventually) by pages on Classical Greek, Gothic and other 'dead languages.'

Learn Spanish Online Free

There are probably more and better free resources on the internet to learn Spanish than there are to learn any other language. That's why I put together a http://www.language-learning-advisor.com/learn-spanish-online-free.html page. I already had some resources on the main page and the resources page, but the quantity and quality of free resources has been getting better. I though it might be a good idea to point this out on its own page. A lot of people are put off of learning a language when they find out how much the better methods cost. With some planning, you can put together a pretty good package of free resources to learn Spanish from. More and more people are taking advantage of the resources the internet provides, but sometimes they are difficult to find or people don't even know about them.
