Sverige - Swedish Radio and Television Live Stream

One of my friends from Live Mocha hooked me up with some great websites for listening to Swedish radio. She also gave me some links for watching Swedish television, news, and soap operas.

Thank you Kim!

Are Bilinguals and Polyglots More Intelligent?

Intelligence and Bilingualism

This is a big topic. I know that the monolingual (Americans and Brits) are going to take offense to this. But there is significant evidence that people who are bilingual and polyglots are more intelligent than monolinguals. 


The research indicates that this difference is not genetic. ( Bilinguals and Polyglots are not born smarter.)  


Remember that IQ is both genetic and environmental. One can be born with great smart genes...yet little drive to improve oneself in this world. How much will they really amount to? Although I do not personally subscribe to the believe that all bilinguals are smarter than monolinguals, I do think that on average, they are smarter.


The choice to be bilingual is a life changing choice. It is a choice that will make you a smarter person. I have made it one of my life goals to encourage and support others who want to become polyglots. This blog entry, however, asks that age old question - are bilinguals and polyglots smarter than monolinguals? Anytime we talk about intelligence, feelings get hurt, so I will look at this question with as much grace as I can. 

Bir çok dil hakkında bilgi edinebileceğiniz eşsiz bir sitedir

Merhaba okuyucular

          Eğer buradaysanız bu iki  veya daha çok dilde akıcı konuşmaya ilgili olduğunuzu gösterir.Kişisel deneyimimden yola çıkarak söyleyebilirim ki, önünüzde zorlu ve uzun bir yol var.Dil öğrenmek zorlu bir süreçtir.Günlük çalışmayı ,elleriniz ağrıyıncaya kadar yazmayı ve bazen utandırıcı hatalar yapmayı göze almalısınız.Kısa bir sürede akıcı konuşacağınızı ummayın.Bir çok dil kursu size eğer onları tercih ederseniz çabucak öğreneceğinizi vaat ederler.Bu bir yalandır,çünkü bir dili öğrenmek yıllar alır.

Free Foreign Language Lessons For your I-Pod

Good Morning Everyone, I am very happy to share with you all a new website for downloading free foreign language lessons. First, a special thanks must go out to my reader Poliglotismos. He first published this website in one of his blogs. I went to the website and downloaded three languages. Swedish is one of the languages I would like to learn, so it was one of the first set of audio lessons I collected. Second was Chinese. The third lesson is Albanian. You can listen to three short lessons: Swedish, Albanian, and Chinese. I did this to give you an example of what we have on the website, and what you can chose from.

At the end of the blog, I post some language programs which you must pay for. As you know - I believe in making the Free stuff and the Payed Stuff available to my readers. Remember - we need to invest in several different programs when learning another language. There is never any one program that will do the trick.

The Website is HERE. Enjoy the videos language lovers.
