    I’m interested in …
    I’m interested in my soon-to-arrive lenovo laptop. Once I had read all reviews in English, I’ve gone through most of tem in German, and I’ve even tried reading reviews about the laptop in Russian. I can speak russian but tend not to read it much due to my slowness of reading the different alphabet.

    Steve, it’s been working really good for me for japanese and it’s been fun to watch and listen to drama while cooking, eating, cleaning the apt… even during grad school physics classes I’m listening to either podcasts or drama and it doesn’t interfere significantly.

    I think everyone …
    I think everyone accepts that people’s (especially children’s) attentiveness is proportional to their interest in the subject matter. It seems that teachers equate this fun with not learning.

    If a child has difficulty in understanding something, they are far more likely to ask for help, and listen, if it means they can get into the content that they want. So what if the content isn’t classical literature.

    Once they get hooked, the content they choose will grow with their ability.
