Learning A Foreign Language

The most recent entry at the Eides' neurolearning blog is on "The Different Ways We're Wired...to Learn a Foreign Language". Researchers at the University College in London have found something that many of us have known for a while -- it is harder for some people to learn foreign languages than others.

I have not seen anything new on better ways to help people learn foreign languages in particular -- using immersion and music are still top on my list. There is a lot of research on learning styles, and certainly the "best" or easiest way for one person to learn is not the same for everyone.

I also read an older entry of the Eides "Brain of the Blogger" and it might be the motivation that I need to make more frequent entries here.
