I'm not sure if you are from the US but it is one of the biggest holidays here this week. I am not sure that Learning Strategies is open.
As for the forums, they are great help as you will get help from other people learning along with you. You will also gather feedback from a variety of different backgrounds. I love reading everyones questions and points of view.
Over time you will notice that we all ask very similar questions. :-) ENjoy the process. It's a great ride.
