Hi, I hope this is not too off-topic, but it hard to find vauable resources in the net about this topic: Does somebody know valuable learning concepts for learning foreign languages? What is a good way to try learning foreign languages using appropriate software tools? Does somebody know more about proven techniques and concepts how people can learn languages in a good way? Background: I am currently in the phase of adding learning and review features to the LingoTeach project[1] and did not find good resources, which explain different techniques of learning foreign languages. Due to the fact, that those features have to follow some rules, I want to implement (a few) proven 'templates', so that users can start off without the need to know, what techniques would match best for them (they will be able to adjust the learning techniques). Example: 1) Show ten new words/sentences at week 0. 2) In week 1, determine, which words/sentences the user knows now very well and which not. Show the not well known words in week1 together with several new ones 3) Show some words of week 0 in week 2 together with some new and the ones the user did not know very well in week 1 4) and so on and so on.... I do not know, how good or bad such a technique of learning is, so maybe someone else knows about good methods to learn and can point me to them.
