Posted: May 25, 2011 Filed under: Extensive Listening, Second Language Acquisition | Tags: extensive listening, second language acquisition 6 Comments »Here is a video from Christophe Clugston about right-left brain methods. I tried to write about that many times but I could never explain it as good as Christophe. Have a look at it. He explains some very important things that you won’t find at many places on the internet.

The Education of a Wannabe Polyglot

I visit language learning blogs almost everyday for a few minutes and I see the same situation all the time – language learning enthusiasts spending hours, days, weeks reading and commenting hoping to learn some useful technique, some great hint but also to find encouragement and motivation, but most of the time they get very little for their time and effort.
This takes me years back when I was in the same situation and I wish someone told me to read these books right away instead of wasting my time everywhere on the net:
- POLYGLOT How I Learn Languages
- The English-Learning and Languages Review
- The Art and Science of Learning Languages (amazon)
- From the Outside In
- Principles and Practice in Second Language Acquisition
I tried to keep the list as short as possible. These are not everything you need in order to learn a foreign language most efficiently, they are not even the best out there but they are easy to understand, well explained and are a great basis for your further development.
There are all kind of people on the internet. Most of them are cool people but there are also $ome $u$piciou$ expert$ 
. Don’t let bad people profit from your inexperience, educate yourself now. It only takes few short weeks and no money! You can download them for free!
All the best
