&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Most&amp;nbsp;&lt;a data-ls-seen=&quot;1&quot; href=&quot;http://www.inc.com/startup&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #009cd8; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;start-ups&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;fail--but the extraordinary few that succeed practice six shared habits.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Based my interviews with over 200 entrepreneurs, I’ve developed the Hungry Start-up Strategy Index (HSSI) that scores a start-up from 0 to 100 based on how well it does these six relative to the world’s best.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
What are your start-up’s odds for success? Based on anecdotal evidence, they are not good. I have spoken with&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;mandelbrot_refrag&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;mandelbrot_refrag&quot; data-ls-seen=&quot;1&quot; href=&quot;http://www.inc.com/barry-schuler/the-dark-side-of-equity-crowdfunding.html?cid=ls01701barryschuler&amp;amp;lc=int_mb_1001&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #009cd8; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;venture capitalists&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;who say that in a year they review 1,000&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;mandelbrot_refrag&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;mandelbrot_refrag&quot; data-ls-seen=&quot;1&quot; href=&quot;http://www.inc.com/business-plans?lc=int_mb_1001&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #009cd8; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;business plans&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and invest in two or three.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Of the other 997, perhaps some get funded by VCs, others&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class=&quot;mandelbrot_refrag&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;mandelbrot_refrag&quot; data-ls-seen=&quot;1&quot; href=&quot;http://www.inc.com/bootstrapping?lc=int_mb_1001&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #009cd8; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;bootstrap&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;or get funds from friends and family, and still others give up. Of the ones that get funded, typically one out of 10 is a big success. And one in 10,000 gets to be worth $1 billion or more.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Two extraordinarily successful start-ups I have interviewed - Westborough, Mass.-based SimpliVity -- its hardware lowers the total cost of ownership for corporate IT departments and Waltham, Mass.-based Actifio -- a maker of appliances to lower the cost of copying data, both of which extensively -- have HSSIs that are close to 100.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Here is what it takes to get that score.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;1. Setting goals.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a data-ls-seen=&quot;1&quot; href=&quot;http://www.inc.com/startup&quot; style=&quot;border: 0px; color: #009cd8; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Start-ups&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;almost always lack the cash to pay market-beating salaries to top talent. One way that they do this is by setting goals that talented people - founding executive, investors, and staff -- find irresistibly compelling.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
To practice the first habit well, you must do a great job on these three goals:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Mission: Enduring purpose of the start-up&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Long-Term Goal: Approach to realizing investment return&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Short-Term Goals. Clear short-term milestones&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Based on their talented executive teams, excellent professionals, and world-class investors, SimpliVity and Actifio have clearly done a great job of setting these three goals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;2. Picking markets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;A start-up could pick any market in which to sell its product. But the most successful start-ups pick markets that pass four tests:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Its founder is passionate about the industry&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Its founder has superior industry knowledge&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Strong forces drive its industry growth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;The start-up is solving a customer problem that the market ignores&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
SimpliVity and Actifio have picked markets wisely as evidenced by their extremely rapid growth - over five-fold.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;3. Raising capital.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;The most successful start-ups preserve control while obtaining the capital that they need to fuel their growth. Moreover, when they do raise venture capital, they do so with firms that can help them expand due to their brand, connections, and capabilities.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
A winning start-up’s approach to raising capital passes three tests:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;It self-funds until expansion phase&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Its researches the founder’s fit with the VC firm partner&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;It creates a competitive bidding process to obtain attractive investment terms&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
SimpliVity and Actifio both self-funded until they had developed working prototypes and won customers. Once established, they raised capital from firms that have helped them expand.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;4. Building the team.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;As a founder, you can’t do everything yourself. A successful entrepreneur is humble enough to know her strengths and weaknesses and to build a company that attracts and motivates talented people who can work together to pursue the company’s goals.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
To do that, winning start-up CEOs do the following:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;· Identify the skills needed for success&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;· Add executives to complement their strengths and weaknesses&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;· Attract and motivate top talent&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;· Link their incentives to clear values&lt;/li&gt;

Gaining share.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Given the odds of failure, potential customers don’t want to buy a product from a start-up. To overcome those odds, winning venture do the following:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Develop improved product versions fast&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sell to new market segments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
SimpliVity - its product reduces total cost of ownership three-fold -- and Actifio - for every $1 a customer invests in its product, the customer gets $15 in cost savings -- both do that.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 0.8em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;6. Adapting to change.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Finally, the most successful start-ups adapt well to changing customer needs, upstart competitors, and new technology.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
To that end, they do the following:&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; line-height: 16px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 20px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Monitor customer needs, competitors and technology&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Pinpoint critical threats and opportunities&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 25px; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;Modify products and pricing to boost growth&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Both SimpliVity and Actifio have altered their marketing strategies and product lines to respond to changes in boost their growth.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;border: 0px; font-family: Vollkorn, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: -0.01em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

de excursión de promoción nos fuimos para las Islas Canarias.&lt;br /&gt;
En el viaje comprendí que de español no sabía nada,&lt;br /&gt;
y decidí estudiar filología hispana en Salamanca.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Terminada la carrera yo viajé a Ciudad de México,&lt;br /&gt;
sentía que necesitaba enriquecer mi léxico.&lt;br /&gt;
Muy pronto vi que con el español tenía una tara,&lt;br /&gt;
y decidí estudiar otros tres años&lt;br /&gt;
en Guadalajara.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Cuatro meses en Bolivia,&lt;br /&gt;
un post grado en Costa Rica,&lt;br /&gt;
y unos cursos de lectura con un profesor de Cuba.&lt;br /&gt;
Tanto estudio y tanto esfuerzo, y al final tu ya lo ves:&lt;br /&gt;
ESTE IDIOMA NO SE ENTIENDE&lt;br /&gt;
NI AL DERECHO NI AL REVÉS!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Que difícil es hablar el español,&lt;br /&gt;

Que difícil es hablar el español,&lt;br /&gt;
yo ya me doy por vencido “para mi país me voy.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;En Venezuela compré con mi plata una camisa de pana,&lt;br /&gt;
Y mis amigos me decían ‘Ese es mi pana, ese es mi pana!’&lt;br /&gt;
Y en Colombia el porro es un ritmo alegre que se canta,&lt;br /&gt;
pero todos me miran mal cuando yo digo que me encanta.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Los chilenos dicen cuando hay algo lejos “que esta a la chucha”,&lt;br /&gt;
y en Colombia el mal olor de las axilas “es la chucha”,&lt;br /&gt;
mientras tanto en Uruguay a ese olor le dicen ‘chivo’,&lt;br /&gt;
y el diccionario define al chivo como a una ‘cabra con barbuchas’.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Y cambiando una vocal la palabra queda “chucho”,&lt;br /&gt;
y “chucho” es un perrito en Salvador y Guatemala.&lt;br /&gt;
Y en Honduras es tacaño, y a Jesús le dicen Chucho,&lt;br /&gt;
con tantas definiciones, como se usa esa puta palabra!?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Chucho es frío en Argentina,&lt;br /&gt;

y por chucho a Chucho lo echaron al chucho,&lt;br /&gt;
el Chucho era frío y lo agarró un chucho&lt;br /&gt;
-“Que chucho”- decía,&lt;br /&gt;
-“extraño a mi chucho”.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Que difícil es hablar el español,&lt;br /&gt;

de algo yo estaba seguro,&lt;br /&gt;
un ‘strawberry‘ es una fresa.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: &#39;Helvetica Neue&#39;, Arial, Helvetica, &#39;Nimbus Sans L&#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 24px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: white;&quot;&gt;Y que sorpresa cuando en México a mi me dijeron ‘fresa’&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia; line-height: 23px; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Colombia se destaca por su nivel de enseñanza y su ambiente&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;

Amor, estudio, trabajo, negocios o simplemente el espíritu de aventura han motivado a miles de extranjeros alrededor del mundo a venir a nuestro país a aprender español.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Es así que Colombia se ha convertido, junto con Argentina, Chile y México, en una de las potencias más importantes del continente en la enseñanza del español como segunda lengua, entre otros factores por &quot;el avance en seguridad que se ha tenido en los últimos años y los esfuerzos del Gobierno para mejorar la imagen del país en el exterior&quot;, afirma Mary Naranjo de Reyes, coordinadora académica del Programa de Español para Extranjeros de la Universidad de La Sabana, en Bogotá.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Así las cosas, este trabajo se ha venido incrementando en varias ciudades, y &quot;desde el mismo momento en que llegan los hablantes de otras lenguas se encuentran inmersos aprendiendo no solo el nuevo idioma, sino que comienzan a interactuar con los colombianos&quot;, asegura.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Y no son pocos quienes nos visitan. Muchos llegan a trabajar en compañías internacionales, a hacer inversiones; otros a hacer turismo y unos más invitados por colombianos que conocieron en su país de origen.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Quienes vienen, dice Naranjo de Reyes, se benefician de &quot;la práctica de la lengua en contextos reales y la utilización del idioma en una amplia variedad de aspectos de la vida cotidiana, lo que contribuye a mejorar el conocimiento de una realidad del país diferente a la percepción que se tenía en su lugar de origen&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Para Álvaro Castañeda, director del Instituto de Lenguas de la Universidad Distrital (Ilud), la mejor estrategia para lograr un proceso efectivo de aprendizaje es involucrarse en las actividades cotidianas de una persona nativa; es decir, &quot;hacer las clases en los museos, restaurantes, sitios de interés y otros lugares en donde converjan el aprendizaje con la práctica real del español&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;
Un tema fundamental, como explica Lourdes Rey, coordinadora académica del Instituto de Idiomas de la Universidad del Norte, en Barranquilla, quien destaca &quot;un aprendizaje significativo, es decir, que el estudiante mezcle la enseñanza tradicional con actividades culturales y deportivas que mantengan su motivación y le permitan un avance rápido en la adquisición del lenguaje y en el mejoramiento de su uso en contextos prácticos&quot;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #393939; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16px; line-height: 23px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 8px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 8px; vertical-align: baseline;&quot;&gt;

Colombia, al estar vinculada al Sicele, explica Magda Bogotá, directora del Departamento de Lenguas de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional, tiene como tarea conformar redes que, más allá de buscar la certificación de la lengua, se han dedicado a la formación académica y a la investigación en esta área, como es el caso de EnRedele, con nodos de trabajo en Bogotá, Costa Caribe y Eje Cafetero.&lt;/div&gt;

Tiene 25 años y es empleado bancario. Decidió aprender español para poder trabajar en Colombia, ya que la entidad en la que labora tiene sus oficinas de Latinoamérica en Bogotá y Sao Paulo. Espera alcanzar un nivel alto de español y ascender en su compañía.&lt;/div&gt;

- Truls Danielsen, de Noruega. Profesor y locutor de 50 años, siempre ha sentido un gusto especial por el español. Conoce las reglas básicas, por sus viajes por Latinoamérica y España, y escogió a nuestro país &quot;debido a que tiene el acento más neutro. Deseo aprenderlo para regresar a mi país a enseñarlo&quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
- Adele Mathilde Hoarau, de Francia. Tiene 22 años y quiere complementar las lecciones recibidas en la escuela y viajar por Latinoamérica. &quot;Quiero alcanzar el nivel suficiente para ser traductora&quot;, dice.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a64d79;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Los grupos musicales mariachis interpretan, además de canciones de su propio género, boleros, rancheras y baladas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #a64d79;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Un grupo de 13 mariachis irrumpió en la sala de la convención y entonó &quot;El son de la negra&quot;, una de las melodías más emblemáticas de este género, para celebrar la decisión de los especialistas.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt; Éstos apreciaron la expresión única del mariachi, compuesta por música de cuerdas, canto y trompeta, centrada en la vida en comunidad y que condensa la identidad mexicana a pesar de que surgió en estados como Jalisco, Nayarit o Michoacán y Colima.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt; &quot;El mariachi, con el paso del tiempo, se ha ido convirtiendo en algo representativo de todo México&quot;, declaróAnna Goycoolea, coordinadora del programa del Patrimonio Inmaterial mexicano y representante de la candidatura en Bali.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;La designación del mariachi como patrimonio inmaterial &quot;significa el afianzamiento de este tipo de música y la protección de sus características que corren el peligro de transformarse demasiado, por ser una práctica tan universal y popular&quot;, dijo Goycoolea. &quot;Para los mexicanos oír al mariachi es como escuchar el himno nacional, una cuestión de identidad&quot;, agregó.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Los grupos musicales mariachis interpretan, además de canciones de su propio género, boleros, rancheras y baladas.  &quot;No hay ninguna expresión musical mexicana más difundida por el mundo, y esta universalidad tenía que verse reflejada en la lista de patrimonio inmaterial&quot;, indicó el secretario de Cultura de Jalisco, Alejandro Cravioto.  &quot;Es una tradición que se ha transmitido de generación en generación y continúa viva entre los más jóvenes&quot;, añadió.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Cravioto dijo que el mariachi acompaña todo el recorrido vital de los mexicanos ya que &quot;está presente desde el bautizo hasta el entierro&quot;, y señaló que, junto con la comida, es el único elemento propio que los emigrantes se llevan siempre consigo.  También transmitió el compromiso del Gobierno mexicano de proteger y promover los valores culturales del mariachi dentro y fuera del país.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&quot;Imagina la vida como un juego en el que estás malabareando cinco pelotas en el aire. Estas son: - Tu Trabajo,- Tu Familia,- Tu Salud,- Tus Amigos y - Tu Vida Espiritual, Y tú las mantienes todas éstas en el aire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pronto te darás cuenta que el Trabajo es como una pelota de goma. Si la dejas caer, rebotará y regresará. Pero las otras cuatro pelotas: Familia, Salud, Amigos y Espíritu son frágiles, como de cristal. Si dejas caer una de estas, irrevocablemente saldrá astillada, marcada, mellada, dañada e incluso rota. Nunca volverá a ser lo mismo. Debes entender esto: apreciar y esforzarte por conseguir y cuidar lo más valioso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trabaja eficientemente en el horario regular de oficina y deja el trabajo a tiempo. Dale el tiempo requerido a tu familia y a tus amigos. Haz ejercicio, come y descansa adecuadamente. Y sobre todo.....crece en vida interior, en lo espiritual, que es lo más trascendental, porque es eterno.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Piénsalo !!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BRYAN DYSON&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Germany is  strategic, as I want to &lt;b&gt;“reactivate”&lt;/b&gt; my German before the media tour there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Few topics provoke more anxiety and depression in language lovers  than the prospect of forgetting a hard-earned language. After you return  to your English-dominated homeland, how do you maintain your newfound  skills, which seem to have yogurt-like expiration dates? Having juggled  close to a dozen languages — keeping some and losing others — and having  suffered the interference that goes it all, my answer now is simple:  you don’t.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;It is easier, and much more time-efficient, to &lt;b&gt;catch up versus keep up&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Why struggle to maintain a foreign tongue in the US, for example,  when you most often gain nothing more than bad habits? If you acquire  the language in a native environment and attain an intermediate or  advanced level of fluency, you can reactivate your language skills in  four weeks or less when approached methodically. Would you rather spend  four hours per week on your new language, only to see it get sick and  bloated with a distinctly foreign-sounding twang, or spend two hours per  day for 1-3 weeks and be right back at your fluency level from years  prior?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;I began reactivation of irretrievable German just over a week ago and  can already hold a decent conversation. This is not a testament to my  ability, but to the efficacy of a process that begins with massive  passive exposure and avoids time-consuming review from square one:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;1. Days 1-7: &lt;/b&gt;German films with English subtitles for at least two hours each evening for one week.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;2. Days 3+:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;10-20 pages of dialogue-rich &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manga&quot;&gt;manga&lt;/a&gt;  (Japanese comics, here translated into German, that can be ordered in  most languages from comic stores in your target country) for 30 minutes  each morning and prior to bed.  I’m a big fan of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/s/002-0498323-6621606?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=mozilla-20&amp;amp;index=blended&amp;amp;link%5Fcode=qs&amp;amp;field-keywords=one%20piece&amp;amp;sourceid=Mozilla-search&quot;&gt;One Piece&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;3. On the plane:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt; Read a phrasebook in its entirety for active  recall practice of common phrases (45 minutes of study alternated with  15 minutes of rest â€“ this takes advantage of what is called the “&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primacy_effect&quot;&gt;primacy and recency&lt;/a&gt;” effect).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;4. Upon arrival:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Continue with manga and grammar  reference checks as needed, using an electronic dictionary to reactivate  vocabulary from conversation that is familiar but not understood.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;5. Weeks 2-3:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Thirty to sixty &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vis-ed.com/catalog/scan/fi=products/st=db/co=1/sf=category/se=language/op=rm/nu=0/ml=50/tf=category/to=r/tf=title/to=x/tf=description/to=x/va=banner_text%3d/va=banner_image%3d.html?id=pat2BSqU&quot;&gt;Vis-Ed flashcards&lt;/a&gt;  daily. This seems like a lot, but most will have been covered in steps  1-3 â€“ using active recall (English to German). Vis-Ed compiles its  sets of flashcards from word frequency lists and includes sample phrases  for usage. I begin flashcards after three or four days in-country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The sooner you decide to reactivate languages when needed, instead of  maintaining them for an unspecified time in the future, the more  leisure time you will have and the less diluted your language abilities  will be when you need them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Don’t fear losing languages if you’ve attained real fluency. They’re just in temporary storage with the covers pulled over them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Thanks to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;byline&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/author/admin/&quot; title=&quot;Posts by Tim Ferriss&quot;&gt;Tim Ferriss for this interesting article.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;      &lt;span class=&quot;topics&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;topics_title&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andresfelipehenao.blogspot.com/feeds/986888954259500052/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/147258074441555009/986888954259500052' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/147258074441555009/posts/default/986888954259500052'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/147258074441555009/posts/default/986888954259500052'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andresfelipehenao.blogspot.com/2011/06/how-to-resurrect-your-high-school.html' title='How to Resurrect Your High School Spanish…'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-147258074441555009.post-358078180464228784</id><published>2011-06-28T18:09:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2011-06-28T18:09:00.221-05:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="colombian culture"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="FolkLife Festival"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="washington DC"/><title type='text'>Colombia Program Introduction</title><content type='html'>&lt;div dir=&quot;ltr&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; trbidi=&quot;on&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;color: red; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;Colombia Program Introduction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;by Smithsonian Folklife Festival&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h1 style=&quot;color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.festival.si.edu/2011/schedule_06_30.aspx#Colombia%20&quot;&gt;2011 Festival Schedule&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;h1 style=&quot;color: #b45f06; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;http://www.festival.si.edu/2011/schedule_06_30.aspx#Colombia &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The &lt;i&gt;Colombia: The Nature of Culture&lt;/i&gt; program at the 2011  Smithsonian Folklife Festival celebrates the rich bio-cultural diversity  of Colombia and explores how Colombian cultural expressions are  inextricably connected to their distinctive environments. Colombia leads  the world in the number of bird species, has the second highest number  of varieties of amphibians and plants, and is third in the diversity of  its reptiles. Because of its biological and environmental diversity,  Colombia is home to some of the world’s most distinctive cultures and  traditions. This year’s festival program shows how these cultures  survive and thrive through the dynamic relationship between people and  nature.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The program highlights six ecosystems, from the Andes mountains to  the Amazon Rainforest, Andean Savannah, Southeastern Plains, the hilly  coffee region of Caldas, and the urban centers of Bogotá, Medellín, and  Cali. Roughly one hundred Colombian artists will sing, dance, prepare  food, tell stories, celebrate the harvest, and demonstrate religious  ceremonies, traditional medicine practices, and agricultural  sustainability at the Festival. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;h3 style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Among the traditions highlighted are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul class=&quot;spacer&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Gold-mining activities from the Atrato River in the Pacific  Rainforest, such as panning, work songs, filigree jewelry-making, and  gold trading; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Basket and cloth weaving utilizing the diverse fibers and reeds found in the Andean Savannah; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Leather crafts from the Orinoco Plains that exemplify the ranching lifestyle, such as &lt;i&gt;cotizas&lt;/i&gt; (traditional shoes), &lt;i&gt;campechanas&lt;/i&gt; (hammocks), and ranching gear;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Crafts and performances integral to community celebrations and  rituals from the Momposino Flood Plains, including religious sculpture,  drumming music, carnival, and foodways;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Activities surrounding coffee growing, including agro-tourism, &lt;i&gt;guadua&lt;/i&gt;/bamboo architecture, coffee-picking basket weaving, and mule and jeep transportation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Colombia: The Nature of Culture&lt;/i&gt; program offers a forum for  Colombian artists and performers to demonstrate their wisdom and  knowledge through their cultural practices. For example, a Mompox drum  maker discusses how his tradition depends on protecting the fragile  flood plains that contain the wood used to build his instruments. A  basket weaver from Filandia demonstrates the creative solutions she has  found to maintain the vitality of her tradition, at a time when the  industrial coffee workers do not use her baskets for picking coffee.  Visitors can learn how Willys Jeeps built for World War II now typically  transport coffee and bananas from farms to local markets; children from  school to home; and families moving their household goods. Successful  packing depends on the skills of the &lt;i&gt;yipero&lt;/i&gt; who draws on the knowledge of packing a mule, which is still practiced in the steeper mountain regions.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Waves of violence and the lack of economic opportunities have  displaced people from rural areas to the cities—a pressing issue in  Colombia especially among youth.

What’s more, in the cities, the interaction of traditional  culture with contemporary life is giving rise to new customs and forms  of expression.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Principles of cognitive neuroscience and time management can be applied  to attain conversational fluency (here defined as 95%+ comprehension and  100% expressive abilities) in 1-3 months.  Some background on my  language obsession, from an earlier post on learning outside of classes:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;From the academic environments of Princeton University  (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian) and the Middlebury Language Schools  (Japanese), to the disappointing results observed as a curriculum  designer at Berlitz International (Japanese, English), I have sought for  more than 10 years to answer a simple question: &lt;strong&gt;why do most language classes simply not work? &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The ideal system — and progression — is based on three elements in this order…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span id=&quot;more-1077&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Effectiveness (Priority)&lt;br /&gt;
2. Adherence (Interest)&lt;br /&gt;
3. Efficiency (Process)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Effectiveness, adherence, and efficiency refer to the “what”, “why”,  and “how” of learning a target language, respectively. In simple terms,  you first decide what to learn, based on usage frequency (priority); you  then filter materials based on your likelihood of continued study and  review, or adherence (interest); lastly, you determine how to learn the  material most efficiently (process).  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Let’s cover each in turn.  This post will focus on vocabulary and subject matter.  For learning grammar, I suggest you &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/11/07/how-to-learn-but-not-master-any-language-in-1-hour-plus-a-favor/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read this short article&lt;/a&gt;.  For “reactivating” forgotten languages — like high school Spanish — &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/09/20/how-to-resurrect-your-high-school-spanish-or-any-language-plus-be-on-the-cbs-early-show/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this sequence&lt;/a&gt; will do the trick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Effectiveness:&lt;/strong&gt; If you select the wrong material, it  does not matter how you study or if you study – practical fluency is  impossible without the proper tools (material). &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/09/22/why-language-classes-dont-work-how-to-cut-classes-and-double-your-learning-rate-plus-madrid-update/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Teachers are subordinate to materials&lt;/a&gt;, just as cooks are subordinate to recipes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Adherence:&lt;/strong&gt; Review, and multiple exposures to the  same material, will always present an element of monotony, which must be  countered by an interest in the material. Even if you select the most  effective material and efficient method, if you don’t adhere with  repeated study, effectiveness and efficiency mean nothing.  In other  words: can you persist with the material and method you’ve chosen?  If  not, less effective materials or methods will still be better.  The best  approach means nothing if you don’t use it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;By analogy, if sprinting uphill with bowling balls in each hand were  the most effective way to lose body fat, how long would the average  person adhere to such a program? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;If you have no interest in politics, will you adhere to a language  course that focuses on this material? Ask yourself: Can I study this  material every day and adhere until I reach my fluency goals? If you  have any doubt, change your selection. Oftentimes, it is best to select  content that matches your interests in your native language. Do not read  about something that you would not read about in English, if English is  your native language (e.g. don’t read Asahi Shimbun if you don’t read  newspapers in English). Use the target language as a vehicle for  learning more about a subject, skill, or cultural area of interest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Do not use material incongruent with your interests as a vehicle for learning a language – it will not work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Efficiency:&lt;/strong&gt; It matters little if you have the best  material and adherence if time-to-fluency is 20 years.  The ROI won’t  compel you. Ask yourself: Will this method allow me to reach accurate  recognition and recall with the fewest number of exposures, within the  shortest period of time? If the answer is no, your method must be  refined or replaced.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;color: orange; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;An Example of Effectiveness (80/20) in Practice&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Pareto’s Principle of 80/20 dictates that 80% of the results in any endeavor come from 20% of the input, material, or effort. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;We can adapt this principle and prioritize material based on its  recorded likelihood and frequency of usage. To understand 95% of a  language and become conversational fluent may require 3 months of  applied learning; to reach the 98% threshold could require 10 years.  There is a point of diminishing returns where, for most people, it makes  more sense to acquire more languages (or other skills) vs. add a 1%  improvement per 5 years.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;To see exactly how I deconstruct the grammar of new languages, I suggest you read &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2007/11/07/how-to-learn-but-not-master-any-language-in-1-hour-plus-a-favor/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;“How to Learn (But Not Master) Any Language in 1 Hour”&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Individual word frequency will vary between languages (especially  pronouns, articles, and possessives), but differences are generally  related to frequency rank, rather than complete omission or replacement  with a different term.  The above two lists are surprisingly applicable  to most popular languages.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Content and vocabulary selection beyond the most common 300-500 words  should be dictated by subject matter interest.  The most pertinent  questions will be &lt;strong&gt;“What will you spend your time doing with this language?” &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;If necessary, the most closely related rephrasing would be &lt;strong&gt;“What do I currently spend my time doing?”&lt;/strong&gt;  It bears repeating: do not read about something that you would not read  about in your native language. Use the target language as a vehicle for  learning more about a subject, skill, or cultural area of interest.  Poor material never produces good language. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Feed your language ability foods you like, or you will quit your  “diet” and cease study long before you achieve any measurable level of  proficiency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;As a personal example, I used martial arts instructional manuals to  compete effectively in judo while a student in Japan. My primary goal  was to learn throws and apply them in tournaments.  To avoid pain and  embarrassment, I had tremendous motivation to learn the captions of the  step-by-step diagrams in each instructional manual.  Language  development was a far secondary priority.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;One might assume the crossover of material to other subjects would be  minimal, but the grammar is, in fact, identical. The vocabulary may be  highly specialized, but I eclipsed the grammatical ability of 4 and  5-year students of Japanese within 2 months of studying and applying  sports-specific instruction manuals. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;The specialization of my vocabulary didn’t present a single problem  in communication, it is important to note, as I was spending 80% of my  free time training with people who also used judo-speak and other  vocabulary unique to sports training and athletic development.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;Once the framework of grammar has been transferred to long-term  memory, acquiring vocabulary is a simple process of proper spaced  repetition, which will be the subject of a dedicated future post.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: x-small;&quot;&gt;In the meantime, don’t let languages scare you off.
