    What do you guys think of the "level up" technique approach to learning a language? "Level up" is (as far as I know) a term created by Ohio based polyglot Moses McCormick to describe going out and interacting with native speakers either face to face, or through some other medium. The process is called 'leveling up' because, by going out and practicing a language with actual natives, you are gaining experience (or EXP) in the language, similar to an RPG. I think leveling up enables you to reach fluency at a much faster rate, because, only by actually using the language to communicate are you able to realistically gauge your fluency level in a language, as you are likely to come across words you are unfamiliar with, as well as slang words. I know this technique (for myself) has been not only fun and motivating, but also highly effective in learning new words and phrases. Examples of leveling up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLsUMGj_xIA&list=SP520AD8A7826EF11A&index=35 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBcnf5sY6mw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEoOjbv_guM

    There is an app for iOS and Android called Chinese Writer (Review of the app here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7MDzlZCYQk ) I've learned loads of character off of this app, I typically learn 20-25 new characters a week, rotating, and reintroducing old characters as needed. This app is a perfect way to learn characters if you have an iPhone or android device. The app is basically a game where you have to complete tracing or writing a character (in the right stroke order) in a short amount of time (you can go back and review your mistakes after wards), so not only do you get to recognize characters, but you're also learning to actually write them, something even native Chinese people are able to do less and less as technology has eliminated the need to physically write characters in most instances. A great, great app.

    实验：我会不会说英语了整整一个月 我在读一个故事，一个人很沮丧的进展，他在学习一门语言，所以他决定停止使用他的母语是英语，整整一个月。，我想尝试这样做我自己，所以剩下的12个月，直到1月10日，我会不会说英语以外的工作或业务。我就只会说国语，只观看国语电影，只听华语音乐，还是音乐电台。祝我好运吧，请给我提示如果你发现我的语法错误。

    Best language learning programs? So far, the best resources I have come across in my language learning quest have been: Pimsleur (for pronunciation) Teach Yourself (for a deeper understanding of grammar) Lingq (for better reading and sentence comprehension) Innovative Language Learning (for greater understanding of puns, slang, and cultural references) Does anyone have any other suggestions?

    What does this sentence translate to in Korean? 언제 저 레스토랑이 열지요? I translated it to "When I restaurant open?" which doesn't really make sense. What does this sentence actually mean in Korean?
