Thom -

We’re currently developing the software to display the Japanese characters properly. We plan to have it presentable sometime in 2012!

I love your approach. Are you working on an Italian course?

1. Tell everyone you know that you want to meet people to talk for example French with.
2. Get a T-Shirt that Says, “Talk to Me in French” of course it should be printed in French.
3. Expect it to happen. I promise you that if you expect to have great opportunities talking French, then it absolutely will happen even if you live in some incredibly out of the way town.

What do you suggest for people who live nowhere near native speakers of the language they are learning?

For walks in the park you need something that a French speaker could see 20 feet away. How about a big, “I love France” T Shirt in French, or a shirt that says in French, “Please talk to me in French.”

If you aren’t 100% sure, that the people are speaking French, you need to be careful about engaging them in French. Portuguese and Italian can sound very similar.

The way to do this is to say in English something like, “Excuse me, I love languages, what language are you talking?” If they don’t understand that, trying French is probably okay.

Once they know the person is French, your children need to learn to say something disarming like, “I love France” in French right away.

Thanks for your comments.

Oooh! I like this idea a lot:-)

I’m looking for solutions for language learning for my children—we sometimes come across French speakers at the park (we’ve been doing French [and Latin, but there are fewer speakers of that in parks:-) ]), but the kids are at a shy phase… if they had a flag on a t-shirt, that might solve the ‘problem’:-) (Not to mention, might get me over the hurdle of approaching the parent… I’m shy too:-) )
