News 15-Apr-2012: Well, I found a very capable person to take over HSK Flashcards! I'll let that person introduce themself when the site changes hands officially.

I received an email from Dr. Curtis Bonk. He does some interesting research in the area of extreme and non-traditional learning; learning via technology in situations that are not normally used as primary learning environments (home, abroad, government-funded vacations to the middle east) and it interests me because I learned Spanish and Chinese in non-traditional ways.

You can check out Dr. Bonk's work on his website about Extreme Learning. Also, he's doing some surveys to learn more about how we learn languages in non-traditional, technology-assisted ways. If you're 18 years or older: the adult survey, or if you are a teenager (13-17 only, no preteens please): the middle school/secondary survey.

If you'd like to chat before this site changes hands to the new owner (within a month or two), here's my real email address: [email protected]. For issues related to the content of this site, please continue to use the [email protected] address.
