Matthew McConaughey casting for his next role in Jurassic Park III?

I see. Still not a good excuse though. You could always use that 15 minutes walk as your warm up. I have an hour of driving to the gym and back.

So you picked the gym at the opposite end of the country?

Any of you use Livemocha to learn languages? Seems like a good programme so far.

It has various flaws like they translated the content of the lessons in one language to another, which actually has different verb tenses, so it doesn't really work. It has various other flaws along those lines, not enough real linguistic and pedagogical input.

But it's free to use, lots of content ready made, so it's nice enough.

I see a lot of errors in it too, but I think a lot of the content is user created.

The points system makes it fun though.

Not free sites that teach you the language, for that I'd go with Assimil. But there are lots of free sites for practicing a language that are useful.

I'd like to use it, but screw it. The harder the better.

 

[Fr3sh]

Man, it got to the point I can't go to work without bringing two joints.

Oh, and I got my placement for my teaching practicum, I'll be teaching at my little brother's high school, with my old English teacher, I'm shitting bricks

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

That's great news! Maybe you should smoke two joints to celebrate.

Sure, it's not required for learning of course. The same information is available online, just not in one central place.

Btw Dus, if you feel ready to write there's nothing better than www.lang-8.com

It's good news because I can't afford to fuck up, cause I'll be in front of my sibling and I'll be working with an old teacher of mine, he can possibly give me an awesome reference letter if things go well. Hopefully the extra pressure will put me in line.
