Hello

Someone mentioned about learning languages with Photoreading earlier and I just wanted to make a suggestion.

I think it would be difficult to actually learn a language with this technique, but I think it would be simply AMAZING for your vocab.

Personally, I think a combination of using Michel Thomas' courses to learn how the language actually works, and then using Photoreading for the depth of vocab you could seriously knock over a lot of languages in a VERY short space of time. (I am incredibly excited about this! I hadn't even thought of photoreading for languages before!)

I am not a Michel Thomas salesperson or anything, but seriously this could be really effective.

The CD courses are only 8 hour-long sessions, so if you added on a couple of hours of Photoreading of a language dictionary, or vocab book on the end of that you would be pretty much good to go after 10 hours total!

I squeezed in 7 of the 8 learn spanish CDs before I went to Mallorca a couple of years ago and had great fun speaking spanish (although Mallorcans thought my accent was funny!).

Anyway, just a suggestion
Ross

PS. Michel Thomas' life story is a really interesting read too
