i did buy memletics, and i was less than impressed with it, it does have many good learning techniques etc., but its basically more of the same, it discusses mnemonics, memory palace memory theatre, mind maps, many other different things. It talks about how u should get into a good learning state, being relaxed and in a quiet area etc. and also promotes the use of technology, such as supermemo, brainbuilder and others. The only thing that i found of value, and was "new" at least to me was the discussion about scheduled review and refresh sessions, freqeuncy and duration, and how a little bit every day or every few days can pay big dividends in ur memorization of material as it shifts from short to long term, im utilizing this for my current college classes.
"On tape 4 there is a specific discussion about the role of "babbling" in learning to speak a new language" - sounds interesting, from the programs i have from dimke ive been pretty pleased, so i think i might purchase ultra learn, is that the only real significant aspect of ultra learn that can be applied to foreign language learning?
thanks for the responses and replies, also on a quikc side note, are u on an ongoing process of continually improving ur japanese or have/are u attempting to learn others.
