I think smart people know more languages more than knowing more than one language is a marker of intelligence. Smart people didn't wake up smart they studied and learned what studying techniques worked for them which made it easier for them to learn new languages. However, some people just know languages but nothing else.

I'm a flashcard and note taking kind of girl. If I write and rewrite the same thing over again it eventually sticks. I use that for learning grammar rules and stuff like that but flashcards and repetition work best for vocabulary.

What is the sexiest language accent?
Alrikidokie replied to rossonomous's topic in Language Learning
Middle Eastern men with deep voices speaking in English, yum. It's to die for. However, I love country accents too. -
I live in the part of the US that doesn't have a recognizable accent save for the fact that people know where I'm not from. To my knowledge anyway so I don't think I have an accent. It's like an anti-accent.

Motivation For Learning Japanese
Alrikidokie replied to dannyboy's topic in Japanese Language | Discussion
The first time I took Japanese it was because my best friend was really into the culture and the second time I took Japanese was to fulfill a college credit. -
Did you learn alone or with other students?
Alrikidokie replied to A0130's topic in Language Learning
I've only ever learned language in a classroom setting or on my own. The combination works really well for me but I think private lessons would only enhance my learning experience. Even if just using Skype tutoring would work too. -
Well I do now! I had no idea this website existed by it's certainly full of very useful things, especially as a writer. Thanks!

Silliest Ways You've Learned a Language
Alrikidokie replied to polaroidsredwine's topic in Language Learning
Youtube videos with weird songs that teach you how to say things in whichever language you're learning are always fun. There are some seriously weird videos out there too lol -
I'm learning Japanese in a classroom structure so you could say that my professor is my mentor, however, there's no one on one interaction on a personal level. I would love to have a more one on one mentoring type situation though.

Google Translate: Why It's No Match for Learning A Language
Alrikidokie replied to True2marie's topic in Language Learning
Google translate has never been anything other than a load of trouble for me. It makes the simplest things even harder to understand! I've no doubt that it's no match for learning a language.
