  • You’re absolutely right. If my kids were living in Finland or Japan then practicing the language they experience every day would help to form the connections that make a language “stick.” I’m reminded of the only good scene from The Thirteenth Warrior where Antonio Banderas explains how he learned the Viking language with two words: “I listen.”

    That being said, it’s far better than my education in French. I took four years in high school and three semesters in college and can barely understand it. Plus I didn’t have nearly as much fun as them.
