Unlimited money ? Not one penny from me to the well known fakers so often advertised for free in too many logs here.
I would pay a few teams of people to help me to collect, create and work on media. Building a dubling industry ; one for transcripting ; one for audio production (audio books or stories telling) and one building some kind of audio dictionaries ; audio flash cards and podcast tv series and movies into scene by scene audio episodes. I would get satellite tv (I know this is not that expensive but I don't have it yet). I would pick a residence in paradise, probably Switzerland because I don't like tropics and some swiss lakes are like quite sea, making Switzerland the perfect combinaison of sea and mountains. Maybe something more isolated. I would live with a few very beautifull, smart, kind and monolingual ladies of various origins. I could add a few languages to my current list. Well they don't have to be monolingual. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

In the perfect world, where money and time are no object? Here's my 8-hour day, with
absolutely no jargon: 60 minutes at home: self-study - vocabulary practice, text at an appropriate level, time with native materials (music, TV, etc) 30 minutes: walk to "school" in perfect weather, while listening to a podcast 120 minutes: 2 hours one-on-one study with a high-quality language teacher (learning grammar and vocabulary in context) 60 minutes: lunch with a native speaker (informal social chatting) 120 minutes: 2 hours one-on-one with a different high-quality language teacher, doing things in the world (grocery shopping, watching a movie, going for a hike, basically a new "field trip" every day) 30 minutes: walk back home (again, in perfect weather), listening to an audiobook 60 minutes: self-study at home - homework based on the morning's classes, write in personal learning log in target language, time with native materials (music, TV, etc) And then, later in the evening, 30 minutes of reading for pleasure. Because I'm an experienced language teacher and I know myself well as a learner, I would want to take the lead with my language teacher - so it would have to be someone very flexible who isn't stuck on one particular approach. That would be my dream day - both as a student and as a teacher. Edited by Stelle on 31 July 2013 at 12:36am 6 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

Awesome plan - I like how you think. Within this, what kind of things, if any, would you do to develop a good accent? I tend to need quite a bit of repetition early on. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

If time/money wasn't an issue, i would love to jump in intensively (and i mean INTENSIVELY, just for the challenge of
it) and start studying with a private tutor who would follow me around all day and teach me the ins and outs of the language. Like that guy did with icelandic! I think that I would benefit enormously from it. One day... 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||||||||

You can do it in Chrome by typing in the BB code markup for links, but if it's a long URL, I find I have to stretch out the edit box (see bottom right-hand corner of the inner edit box), so it all goes on one line, or else it all gets mangled, and is unusable as a link.

Sorry! I missed this question! Hmmm...I guess the accent would be something that I'd work on with my tutor. I don't know...accents are tricky. Lots of input, lots of output with gentle corrections. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||||||||

Wing it. No plans I have ever made have come
to fruition the way I planned them. The only plan I follow is my reason, gut instinct and emotions (if they don't confuse me first). What works is good enough. Could it be better? Yeah but don't dedicate your life to self- analysis. 1 person has voted this message useful |
