Thanks for sharing Michel Thomas languages. Not too long ago I wanted to learn French and instinctively as well as aided by everything else I saw I took an academic approach, notebook, vocabulary list, repetition and whatnot, in short I recreated the stressful school environment, and unsurprisingly failed miserably.

I compare that with how I learned computers/programing/digital & analog electronic design/etc... and I can help but realize that even though both where driven by curiosity, one was an adventure while the other was an adventure, and exploration and discovery which was incredibly exhilarating!
