Thanks D, I finally got to read the article (my to-do list is a nightmare but I eventually get to each one on the list). There are so many theories…I love the endless pursuit for the truth in science. In the end it’s up to the learner, no matter the age.

I’m so glad there are others who feel like airplanes are like Russian roulette. I know, I know, the statistics, but still…!

And you’re better with the pictures than I am on Folie a Deux, I keep reusing the same ones over and over for this site! But I’m working on it, slowly but surely.

Speaking of Folie a Deux, parlez vous Francais?

I’m on the road right now but will read the article and comment back sometime this week, thanks for sending it!

There’s a diff between a foreign lang and a second lang, as there’s EFL and ESL. Now we’re mixing FLA and SLA. I’m not sure what we’re trying to say: Do children learn a lang better than adults? Is that it?

So many theories proposed, but there are just going to be pros and cons of learning a lang at ___ age. The Older Language Learner: http://www.ntlf.com/html/lib/bib/87-9dig.htm

We also have different opportunites and circumstances, individual choices and actions. Factor all those in–the process becomes too complex to analyze. Oh well…

Well, tell me your thoughts about that article. And thank you–I’d say the same for you. It’s also very fulfilling to chat with a fellow lang enthusiast. But boy, I’m getting tired. :p
