The colon likes to show
a list that will come
his brother, the semi
will not be outdone
the semicolon joins
two sentences with no and
if you don't need a comma
he can take a stand!

According to modern educational theory, there are visual learners and kinesthetic learners and audio learners... seven different modes of learning IIRC. I used to think it was hogwash, but as I've supervised many people over the years I've come to appreciate how different we are in nearly-invisible but very fundamental ways.

Do you dance?

BTW- when I have a lot of paperwork to do, I put up a playlist of compiled game OSTs. Never played the games, but really like Halo

Reminds me of:

http://www.earwormslearning.com/apps/

earworms MBT takes the hard work out of learning a language!
Have you ever listened to a tune that you couldn't get out of your head? Now, earworms has adopted this approach to language learning, introducing a new range of revolutionary Apps. Introducing the first effective language course to get your toe tapping, just sit back, relax and with minimum concentration, you will find that picking up new vocabulary and phrases is easier than ever before.

Why is it so effective?
Developed by language teaching experts, the Earworms method is based on the science behind catchy songs that stick in your head. The music acts as a catalyst for the memorisation of words and anchors the new vocabulary deep in the long term memory. Listening to melodious music puts you into a relaxed state of alertness, the 'Alpha state' the ideal condition for learning. The sound patterns of melodies, with rhythmic repetitions from a mesmeric male voice who speaks the English and a native speaker for the target language, 'worm' their way deep into the memory, permanently burning into the aural cortex - an area of the brain from which words can instantly be recalled.

In this way, essential words and phrases will literally be ringing in your ears, making the learning of a new language effortless and enjoyable.

Sit back, relax and groove along to the melodies without trying to listen too hard. Treat them as songs you hear on the radio. Our recommendation is that you do familiarise yourself with the written words in the booklet - at least the first time you listen. After listening several times, playfully test yourself - cover up the English side of the phrase book and see how many words and phrases you remember!

======

A little over sold by the description, but it does work. Downside: you may find yourself answering someone in an odd sing-songy way, but it will at least be in their language.
