		<description><![CDATA[Common question&#8230; variable answers.
It all depends on what the learner considers fluent, which language they are learning, the environment they are learning in, how motivated they are, how often they study, and so and so forth.
Let&#8217;s set the ground rules at 2 hours study per day. Not unrealistic if you consider the Borrowing Time post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Planning your time and using it effectively, this is how we learn a language successfully. It&#8217;s not exactly that complicated but it is something that a lot of people neglect. To use the exercise analogy, it&#8217;s better to do a little a lot than a lot a little.

		<description><![CDATA[Just some thoughts on learning a foreign language through another learned language.
If English is your L1, many people only attempt to learn another language through English. And that&#8217;s fair enough, but it might not be the most practical if you have other tools at your disposal. Professor Arguelles strongly suggests people that dream of being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Something that is currently being debated in several circles is just how an additional language is added to one&#8217;s arsenal.
