I recognize myself in this. It is too harsh to say I don't care about pronunciation, but I don't expect that I can become a wonder of pronunciation when I listen and speak as little as I do in most of my languages. I know that I can adapt fairly quickly when I'm traveling around in a relevant country, and that my accents in most languages in between deteriorate - but that's life. For me the importance of language learning isn't oral communication. Edited by Iversen on 31 January 2011 at 5:35pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

If Huliganov is a genius then he is a very annoying genius. His Gold List method is obviously one of his little jokes. If language learning was so easy then we would all be polyglots. It is obvious that he is a native English speaker. From his accent I would say he was brought up in north London. I think his language ability can be put down to a very high IQ and to the fact that he seems to be one of those people who never stops talking or joking. He would have had far more practice speaking than the average language learner.

Thank you. Maybe I didn't understand the method. I am going to review it. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I have just watched the videos and posts about the Gold list method and it makes sense. If I understand, you can work with words from any source (even dictionaries) or sentences. I am very sorry I thought it was a joke. Edited by slucido on 05 February 2011 at 7:59pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Can anyone direct me to a clip in which Huliganov speaks Russian at length?
