I have always encouraged Molly, my youngest daughter to study most anything she wanted, as long as she included learning to speak Mandarin. I shared this with Andrew Smith Lews, the CEO of IKnow! and he chuckled.
"Yes, you may just be hitting on something there Gary." he responded.
Iknow is a new language program on the internet that is free to end users, a reader introduced me to it and I gave it a try the other night. Later I was asked to interview Andrew who was most gracious to introduce me to the future of learning 2.o.
Iknow! can teach anyone wanting to learn a new language on a format that is individualized. So while I struggle through Spanish, Mary is breezing through it and given tougher lessons, and it's all free, but more importantly it was fun.
A year ago I purchased CD's that include the most boring and illogical conversations that you can imagine, but the Iknow! program takes content of interest, including recent movies. Imagine learning japaneese to Tropic Thunder.
There is a lot more about Iknow! that is really worth checking into, like its networking features that create learning formats.
If you are like me and interested in learning a new language, I invite you to try Iknow!.
Here is the link Iknow!
Let MeKnow! what you think.
