LOL nope, not planning on touching the Economics one with a 10 foot pole.... or a 7 foot Hungarian. ;D
In the past, I've considered ordering one of "The Great Courses" when they go on sale for 80% off, but really, with all the free stuff online there's no need to.
Yes! I love things like this!

Oh man, there is this song that I love that's in Italian. I've always wanted to sing it, but I get so tongue twisted!
There are some good subjects there, all the ones that have to do with animal behaviour interest me ;D
Thanks for adding the link!

We should! I had a conversation with him about it, and it came up that the way most courses teach a language is ass-backwards. Before learning the actual words and phrases, you have to learn cadence, accent, stress, and pronunciation. As an example, the difference between saying 'the EMphasis on the right SYllable' and 'the emPHAsis on the right syLLABle'. Essentially, learning to use your mouth in an entirely different way. Trying to find a lesson that fits this method better.
This lady gets it (on accents)
