Flashcards are only good for those who already have a knowledge of a language. It is best used to add words to one's vocabulary and not to learn the language itself. I agree.

I wonder if there is an option to do italian instead of spanish as I love sailing and want to leanr italian. I love the concept of learning two very different things at once. What a fab idea.

You did a great job of explaining how lomástv works but it didn't register how cool it was until I clicked over to check it out! I am really blown away by the simplicity and functionality of the program. My favorite part is being able to click right on the word and have it translated along with its definition. I agree that learning with REAL Spanish (or any language, for that matter, is very important). On my web site I put together Spanish music videos with their lyrics so that anyone learning Spanish can listen to the song while they read along. Here's the link http://www.theselva.com/category/song-lyrics-in-spanish/ I don't translate the songs but I highlight words or phrases that may be difficult for learners to understand and I give a short explanation of those words or phrases at the bottom of the page. So, my site might prove useful for those on a tight budget or just don't have enough time to dedicate to a paid program. Wow!

]]> Comment on Learning Spanish Like Crazy End of Level 1 by Charlie http://learningspanishblog.com/learning-spanish-like-crazy-end-of-level-1/comment-page-1/#comment-281 Charlie Sat, 26 Dec 2009 23:42:46 +0000 http://learningspanishblog.com/?p=106#comment-281 I agree that LSLC is not good as a sole tool, at least not for my learning style. But I recommend it to everyone because it requires me to respond in spanish not just repeat. For example: Typical spanish lesson Teacher: The cat is black. El gato es negro. Student: El gato es negro. LSLC Teacher: (after lesson has taught the vocabulary and verb conjugation) Now say 'The cat is black' Student: El gato es negro The two experiences, repeating and responding, are totally different for me. Responding forced me to stop thinking and just speak, otherwise I wouldn't finish before the teacher started talking again. I read each LSLC lesson first, picking out the new vocabulary. I load the new words and some phrases into ANKI, a spaced repitition program (like smart flash cards). I listen to the lesson after I've learned the new vocabulary. I hope my ear for Spanish improves so that I can pick up the vocabulary as part of the lesson, then add to my ANKI database for later practice.
