There are many well marketed ways to learn languages. We all know about rosetta stone and powerglide. Both sound effective but are expensive and follow a certian debatable methodology.

Immersion and travel are preferred methods to learn languages.

I was just reading this site: http://saberingles.freeforums.org/where-are-you-from-t7-15.html#219 where there are links to several pages such as:

Utöka Ditt Engelska Ordförråd - Leer je Engelse Woordenschat -
英語のボキャブラリーを増やそう - เรียนรู้คำศ - 学习英语词汇 - 學習英語詞彙
(for those of you who need help: Swedish, Dutch, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Taiwanese)

and in nice simple spanish:   aprendre vocabulario ingles

Today, I resolved to try and stop being so busy and be more people-oriented.

I found that in the last months as I strive to be the best homeschool resource for our members by working with the technology, I find that I am not following up on some very interesting conversations and emails and comments that we get.

Since many of the best ideas and opportunities usually come from people just talking to me, I'm going to reserve a chunk of each day to speak to the Time4Learning parents.  

Also, I might try to improve my blogging technique. Right now, I have one site that I use as to collect written materials for the newsletter and website, another where I work on learning online marketing, another that we're thinking of making into a resource for parents on scope and sequence, and then this one which is a way to think about how best to serve and communicate with my members.

By the way, the other blogs are on blogger.com but homeschool.blogger seems alot easier to use.
