In today’s episode, I share a few tricks that you can use to buy yourself some “think time” when holding a conversation.

In today’s episode I discuss what I feel is the greatest challenge that students face when it comes to grammatical gender. And I also share a few strategies you that you can use to overcome it.

Over the past 6 months, I conducted a survey in which 42 fellow hypopolyglots were asked to answer some basic questions about their study routines as well as offer advice they had on the topic of studying.  And, today, I thought I would keep it simple, and share the results of this survey with you.

In today’s episode, I respond to a listener who has asked me to share a few additional activities one can use to develop vocabulary.

Onomatopoeia are perhaps most widely known as the tools we use to communicate the sounds that objects, animals, and humans make. But, they can do much more than that! So, listen in and learn why you should add a few to your vocabulary.

Today, I respond to an email from Cierra, who writes, “I have been using a variety of resources as you suggested.  And I enjoy each of them – However, I am struggling to keep what I am learning from all the different resources organized. Any suggestions?” - yes I do!  and it is quite simple.

This episode explains how grammatical gender adds a whole other layer of information that needs to be both memorized and correctly applied in order to be able to communicate clearly and accurately in a language that uses grammatical gender.

Resources are key to the learning process, so today, I thought I would share my review of a very popular resource on the market – Pimsleur language courses.
