Hi Claude,
Excellent work as always. I would love to see interviews of Iversen and Prof.Arguelles if you and David have the chance. I think they would be excellent and intriguing.
Also, have you considered posting upcoming interviews on your website to allow listeners to offer suggested questions? Maybe you could choose one or two to ask and maybe if the interviewee is willing, the remainder of the questions could be answered in a follow up in writing. Just a few thoughts. Anyhow please keep up the good work. It really is fantastic and inspiring.
Best wishes,
Jon
Thanks, John–I appreciate the kind words and the suggestions. Stay tuned for more!
Please tell Kathleen how much I enjoyed this podcast! I’m also a grammar nerd and learn by writing and reading. I did learn French starting in 4th grade with what was probably an immersion method and then started German for 2 years in high school while continuing French into my 2nd year of college. Life intervened for many decades and a few years ago on a visit to Germany I decided it was time to get back to it. Since my French was so far advanced, I study one way, trying to recapture what I knew. Probably still in an immersion way. I listen a lot and now need to move into more reading and reading outloud so I can get the pronounciation back. For German, I’ve started over and do a bit of listening and lots of grammar to figure out how it works, getting the syntax down, that seemingly crazy German word order, gathering vocab. I need to see the spelling and not just pronounce it otherwise it doesn’t stick. I make it a game. While French is beautiful, lyrical, German is a puzzle to analyze. Thanks again to all of you for a great session.
