Who is Language Transfer?

Today's homework included Lessons 13 and 14 on the Language Transfer app. If you recall this is the app that asks you not to write anything down and not to memorize. I've since become more comfortable with this, though it took me two weeks to get there. 

What I found interesting in these lessons is the student questioned him about being told not to memorize but to remember. He explained the difference is like borrowing the knowledge versus internalizing it. It's very interesting and made me think...Who is this guy? I want to know. Plus it's nice to put a face to the voice. The creator of Language Transfer is a guy named Mihalis. 


He believes that foreign language is not really foreign, that by using linguistic points of view to help you see the relationship of the language you're learning with the language you know, you gain a more intimate relationship with both. This creates an extension of yourself through language. That's cool. 😎😎

    I found this video very interesting….I’m very impressed withh him and his unusual method of teaching….and, of course, to our prof, for leasing us to him. It was good to see what he looked like!

    1. Mihalis is very interesting. I watched part of another video on the website that was all about his motivation for creating it. Clearly he's not motivated by money, or it wouldn't be free.
