Rapid Language Learning

My interest in learning languages quickly stems from my belief that traveling is best experienced when one can talk to locals, ask them questions, and share a beer.

This class will focus on how to identify the structures of a language, how to approach studying a language, and address the fastest way to begin speaking in another language.

I am really interested in learning other people’s techniques for learning languages as well. Please bring some good stories, I will provide some beer and wine and get the talk going.

That sounds like a great idea. I am starting a new language and reviewing one, so this info would be really helpful!

Woah! Amazing – I love to see how this class has filled up. I owe you all a great class.

So – my vision for this class has changed a bit. I have been learning a lot about languages world-wide of late – both common and unique languages. I would love to offer a class that taught people what to focus on when starting to speak a new language, and also illuminate some great facts on languages worldwide (how many there are, how they are used, language origins, etc.)

Would that interest people still? I am going to get this class going in February – or else I am toast!

Please give me feedback on the current cirriculum. Does it sound interesting???

Cheers,
Andrew

Amigos -

Your language teacher must be slacking – I have still not pulled this class together. I am going to have to postpone it until I get some real time to devote to putting together a comprehensive class. I will post a new date soon!

Hey hey,

I am going to be traveling on the 25th. I have started a bit of a language-road trip – I am traveling the coast teaching languages to people and learning from them as well. I will get this class going as soon as I am back – I should be fully ready to teach a great class by then!

Cheers, sorry for the delay!

Andrew
