Do you think people would grasp the idea of thinking in a new language better if you added something about "no more translating" to your catchphrase? Have you considered that? Like, "Fluent Forever: Say goodbye to translating! Learn to think in any language." I find people get the concept better when I emphasize that they'll learn faster when they don't try to find an English equivalent for everything. (I explain minimal pairs and the importance of hearing/pronouncing accurately from the start, and what anki is and why SRS works, but people really seem to get it when I add that they won't need to translate. I think people just assume they'll always need to translate when learning a new language, and if they've tried learning one before, they're probably thinking, "I'm bad at translating" or "that method hasn't worked for me.") ~Catherine Murphy P.S. Looking forward to your Tribune article.

Are you a Lyric Opera subscriber? Do you have a favorite opera language to listen to and/or to sing in? For example, Italian operas are my favorite. (To listen to; I don't sing.) ~Catherine Murphy
