Pete,
I greatly appreciate your help on this. However, I'm a little confused about passive listening though. From the definition, let me tell you what I think passive listening means and then if you could please tell me how hot or cold I am.
An example of passive listening would be to rent chinese movies, turn off the subtitles (or close my eyes) and listen to the sounds of the dialog without trying to interpet the meaning. I would, do this often- much like being in the country without being in the country. (If this is what you meant, then I'm glad I have an account with NetFlix.)
Using the smelling sense seems to be a key aspect of learning. However, what if I wanted to learn the phrase: "Please email me." What would be the most effective way of learning that phrase using the least number of neurons?
I will incorporate the techniques you passed on. I just recieved GC in the mail, and will play with "borrowed genius" and see if this helps...come to think of it, New Behavior Generator might also help.
Due to my vocation, I need to learn chinese rather quickly.
Once again Pete, I greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
BReeves
