does the language learning reality differ from the language learning theory it differs a lot with that's one of the things we have found before before i started doing go i read a lot of books about how to best teach a language and i realized that a lot of them contradict each other usually is because they're not based on much data they're just based on somebody says you know one person's method or something so what we did is we launch to a lingo and then because we have we have hundreds of millions of students we can watch them learn and and because we can watch them learn we can find better ways to teach that a lot of times are not what what people are using in classrooms for example when teaching in english a lot of classrooms in many countries in the world teach the pronouns the personal pronoun browns like he she you they also teach the one that's it that one's much harder for a lot of people so one of the things we started doing with dylan was when we teach the personal pronouns we don't teach that when we teach or much later and that's we we found the way to do that based on the da

language training is so important. foreign service officers go through a level of promotion, and you have to demonstrate a certain level of proficiency before you go through your promotion. they can continue language training at the embassies abroad. but depending on how difficult the languages are it could take , upwards of 10 months to a year for foreign service officers if they are studying what is considered one of the super hard languages. >> even today, they use flash cards in 1934. the items we have on the table we like to call tools of the trade of the diplomat. flashcards. and we have this very curious object here. it looks like a kerosene lantern. it was a kerosene lantern. it still functions as a lantern. but you can see the protrusion is a slide projector. the light of the lantern then projects an image and its portable. and very handy for areas that don't have electricity. this was transferred to us by our u.s. embassy in singapore. and they were quite literally doing some cleaning out of closets and came

of his supporters sort of excused by saying it was the language of the locker room it was the language of the bar is this really how those surrounding him may be excusing even this. it's how many surrounding him his supporters very much so in middle america are certainly. not making excuses for it but almost holding their nose just as one would say i don't have to like my heart surgeon i just want him to do a good job that's how many have reacted to the comments on the campaign trail and again in regards to this not making excuses for it but trying to turn a blind eye if you will given the fact that jobs are very strong in the country right now that in fact the economy is strong the stock market is up and these are all things that donald trump also promised to do and has been trying to highlight but again it goes back to his actions and his language which constantly take away from perhaps some of his more positive press the president has no one to blame but himself when it comes to that and you're right there is a solid base but there are even some who did not vote for the president th

love us in the united states for example about fifteen percent of all language classrooms used to a lingo. it is still the case that that a human teacher helps to motivate a lot it's very hard one of the hardest things about learning a language by yourself it is possible to learn a language by yourself with the application but it's very hard to stay motivated but on some level i feel you're providing the kind of service that no teacher can provide and i think because think about your technology is that it marries assignments with instantaneous progress evaluation. no all teacher could provide that kind of precise feedback to his students right yeah there are many things that we actually think that teachers and doing a combined are better teachers you know one of the big pros with teachers especially in a classroom is there's one teacher and there's maybe thirty students or twenty students and they cannot provide feedback to everybody and this is one of the great things about dealing with that it provides immediate feedback through each for each person it's personal i so so that's gr

you think more firm language can get this to the finish line? well, i think he is right that this is not a good way to -- a government shutdown. this is not a good way to get policy outcome to shut the government down. for us, i think what you will hear from the majority leader is that a firmer commitment when it seems like it will matter. right now, jeff flake and lindsay gray have and the majority leader have 62 votes. there are some democrats would like to get the yes. i think where we are going to move with the immigration -- if we don't get a solution, it will be a process where everybody will be heard. but he has to be convinced that it will matter to make that commitment. so if i were a democrat, i would talk to my leader, and say, if he can get the majority leader to be specific, i am ready to open up the government. here's the question for all of us, what good would it be to open up the government if it would list a solution? my goal is to create a process to get us to a yes on budget issues. opening up the government is not winning, lo
