ABOUT ME Enjoying learning... Learned French the last couple of years by listening to a lot ! This is called natural learning. We learn our mother tongue in this way. It works. We listen. By listening, we learn the words spoken by our Mothers and others. By listening, we learn the "rules" of grammar. When able, we repeat. And Voilà, we almost all learn to speak our language. I'm starting a blog to increase awareness of the great superiority of Natural Learning, because it's just too painful to think of all the millions of students around the world today studying boring word lists and impossibly boring rules of grammar, when they could be learning 10 - 30 times faster while enjoying beautiful stories, poems and songs! If anyone has experience with Blogging, Please feel free to offer suggestions ! Love good conversations... to hear other people's thoughts. Interested also in : Holistic Medicine... Organics : (Farming... Gardening... Clothing... Housing... in many areas of our life and for many reasons... We've got to get back to the Garden !)... Solar... Green Building... natural materials... primary technologies... Back-to-the-Land living... ; Etymology, Philosophy; All the Sciences ! ; Research, Writing and Photography ; Liberty and how to regain/retain it.... Geopolitics... philosophy and history of politics and economics used to be disinterested in politics... but now see it as a biologic phenomenon... and am completely fascinated ! Our family lived in Uruguay recently. Have been looking for good places abroad ... love especially the "Southern Cone" Countries (Argentina... Uruguay... Chile) (Anyone have other suggestions ? ) Latest published article was : "Investing in Agricultural Land in Uruguay"...
