Tim Ferriss and language learning

For those of you that haven't stumbled upon it yet, Tim Ferriss's blog is quite an interesting read, but I am of course most interested in his posts about languages, the best of which are:

• How to Learn Any Language in 3 Months
• Why Language Classes Don’t Work: How to Cut Classes and Double Your Learning Rate
• Youse, Y’All, and Other Confusions of Modern English
• How to Learn (But Not Master) Any Language in 1 Hour
• How to Resurrect Your High School Spanish… or Any Language

Once I get through Street-Smart Language Learning, you'll quickly see that I agree with almost all of his ideas.

And, courtesy of Tim's blog, here's a bonus link to a good article on frequency lists: Why and how to use frequency lists to learn words by Tom Cobb.
