Handy Notes about Learning Styles
At The Charlotte Mason Inspired Convention in 2021, I was privileged to get to kick off the event with my Learning Styles and Learning Languages Webinar.

For the rest of us, let's read a bit more. I love breaking everything down into manageable...
Top Ten Obstacles to learning Foreign Languages, #6 and #5 (KEEP IT SIMPLE!)
Flip Flop Spanish is counting down this week with the top ten obstacles (and solutions!) to learning Spanish (or any foreign language.)Today we are on #6 Memory, and #5 Keep it Simple! #6 MY MEMORY ISN’T GREATThis is an interesting obstacle many parents have brought up - they feel they can’t possibly teach or learn new vocabulary because their short term (and even long term) memory performs so poorly for them on a daily basis. Sometimes their concern is because their child (frequently the pre-teen) has such poor memory, they feel they’ll set them up for “another” difficult subject, and...
