Learn a Language

You might have heard of Tim Ferris' bestseller, 4 Hour Workweek or his new book 4 Hour Body. I still haven't made up my mind as to whether he's the real deal or a sly dog scam artist (he's probably somewhere in the middle). In his first book/blog he gives some good tips about learning languages in 3 months (which is just about the same amount of time I'll be training in Albania).

I think his very best tip of both his books and blogs is to use a list of the most frequently used words in English and then translating them into the target language. He ends up giving you two 100 words lists: most used written and most used spoken.

Guess what I'll be doing during downtime at work.
