A simple way to pick out some would be to pick threads which have the most useful votes
within them. I'm sure someone in control has access to this sort of information.

Retelling a story as if you're talking to a friend is a good method for learning a
foreign language provided that you have enough vocabulary in the target language. For
most people like myself I can read something in French, understand the context but feel
more comfortable translating it back to English than retelling it in French. Definitely a
good way to learn a language.

Another way that can be explored further is singing. Finding enough songs in a target
language and follow along. Recently a video came out of China featuring the French
Canadian singer Celine Dion singing the song "Molihua" or "Jasmine" alongside a Chinese
singer. Although she doesn't know any Chinese to communicate but in the song she sounded
so convincing that a Chinese would have mistaken her for a native.
