MOREHow to Get Free French Classes on YouTube
I think the potential of learning online from what most consider something that you must go to classes for, was recently excellently demonstrated by Scott Young, as he successfully learned MIT’s Computer Science four year course in one year without actually going to MIT.
MOREFree online Irish language learning resources and cool videos

MOREFrequently asked questions for a long term traveller
The post I wrote over the summer about the 29 life lessons learned in 8 years travelling, stirred up a lot of interest (it’s been read by almost a half a million individuals) but it led to a lot of questions. Some I have hinted to in various blog posts, but I’m going to try […]

MOREAn Honest Rosetta Stone Review: Does Rosetta Stone Really Work?

Does Rosetta Stone work? How effective is Rosetta Stone? I explain it all in this very detailed and honest Rosetta Stone review. In short, I do not recommend Rosetta Stone for new language learners. Rosetta Stone is a one-size-fits-all method that’s tedious to follow, lacks explanations, and never advances beyond the beginner level. Rosetta Stone […]
