Archeologist Heinrich Schliemann Learned New Languages In a Week
Hi Cindy,
Schliemann was a madman when it came to learning new languages.
He'd buy a bunch of books in English AND Greek.
Or English-Spanish
English-Russian
Lock himself in a room for a week.
Come out half dead - but knowing how to read the language.
Then he'd go and pester native speakers
to get the spoken pronunciation down.
He out-worked and outTHUNK all the other Archeologists of his day
because he could READ the existing material BEFORE he started digging.
He may have discovered "Troy" this way.
I LIKE ONE Thing Heinrich Schliemann
DID that you don't provide on your site.
SIDE BY SIDE - pages in each language.
AND
The ability to choose ANY book you are interested in. Not limit
things to the articles on the site.
IF I ever have to learn a new language fast
I'd use Heinrich Schliemann's method.
So your idea is a good one.
But I don't know how you can Improve on Heinrich Schliemann's Strategy.
