#197: Drunk Dialing -- Ladies Night Edition!
The Tim Ferriss Show
Do You Know How to Translate Japanese?
There are many ways to skin this cat as we would say in english. You have to find an approach that works for you. My preference is not to do immersion unless i am in the country. I think it's too much work. Benny lewis, i believe, uses internet radio very much for the same reason. But i've never done that. He'd rather bust his ass and try to get an extra week in country where i can immerse myself 24 seven in a real environment instead of simulating it here.
By request, we have another drunk dialing episode (the most recent one can be found here, and the original can be found here). This one is a little different as it's a Ladies Night edition. Some of you may have noticed that ladies were absent from the last drunk dialing fiasco. Why? It's just math. Looking at the results of a recent poll of 11,463 respondents, my audience is 84.04% male, 15.83% female, and .13% other. The people who sign up first get called first. The last time, three out of the 20, which is exactly 15%, were female. Unfortunately, those women (and several guys) did not pick up. This time around, I decided to try the "ladies night" format. In this episode, we discuss: Language learning Exercising with (or around) injuries Viral marketing Handstands and handstand training How I decide my experiments (and what gets shared afterward) Teaching disabilities vs. learning disabilities The craft of writing: common mistakes, goals, etc. Please enjoy!
