		<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>

The steps are pretty simple, it&#8217;s simple to incorporate and easy to control.

LingQ is the brainchild of Steve Kaufmann (who you can find on my Blogroll over there &#8212;-&#62; &#8230;and down a bit). Steve speaks a number of languages very well and the site is very much a mirror of his own preferred learning [...]]]></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. There is of course the more traditional idea that we learn a language through dedication, study and hard work. And there is the fanciful idea that we simply acquire a language.

I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve heard countless times before how you should learn in context&#8230; but it can be a little vague at times right? So&#8230; in laymans terms.. the mythical in context beast is one that pretty much means [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Zone of Proximal Development is a concept that was introduced by Lev Vygotsky and is still one of the foundations for educational development together with Piagetian theory. I&#8217;m personally a big fan of the Zone of Proximal Development and it&#8217;s little brother, scaffolding. Whether this is teacher-initiated or self-guided scaffolding it doesn&#8217;t matter&#8230; finding [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;m safe in assuming that actively studying vocabulary isn&#8217;t very popular for most people. It&#8217;s something that is often tedious and associated with rote memorisation. This doesn&#8217;t have to be the case as there are a few other popular methods out there. Your best bet is to fiddle around and find out what [...]]]></description>
