Hey Steve,
I have a serious question for you. Are you left or right handed?

I agree, although I have to say I'm really happy with my current french class. It is only taught in French, (even though it is only 2nd semester), all grammar is first introduced by reading texts, we have to identify changes (ie imparfait, passe compose) in the text and then the rule is explained in a formal manner to us, in French by the teacher.

Rote memorization is not something that I would do. I do not mind listening repeatedly to content when I start a language. I save key phrases and words to a date base for review. But I could not get myself to memorize passages.
I consider accumulating lots of words and phrases to be the key to conquering a language. It takes a long time and a lot of input. I doubt that rote memory would help.

Mr. Kaufmann, what do you think about mind mapping as a tool in language learning, specifically vocabulary building? There is good info on youtube via key words "mindmapping" and "buzon".

I have read a little about them but am not in favour. I prefer to learn words from contexts that are of interest to me, with a little review from flash cards from time to time. Then trying to use these words and seeing what happens. I have no time for mind mapping. Maybe I am old fashioned.

I'm really amazed by how you manage to talk about these things without offending people or being a target for attacks. You're like the Ron Paul of language learning. :D
Keep on great work!

I am sure there are great teachers out there. i have just found many to be ideologically motivated and full of jargon and a desire to do research on obscure issues, and to pontificate about critical thinking while not being willing to be critical of themselves and their own ideas.

Hi Mr Steve, you comment about flashcards a lot. Are you aware of spaced repetition systems like supermemo, mnemosyne and anki?
Does lingq has support for spaced repetition?

I am aware of these SRS systems. We use SRS in our automatic emailing of saved words and phrases in LingQ. But I am not a great believer in them.
