Started language school today. And the first thing we did was set up or newly issued government ipods. Never thought Uncle Sam would spring for something so hip and modern as an Apple product.
It looks like flashcards are a thing of the past. This language app we downloaded on the ipod uses some kind of specialized algorithm to track your practices and cycle your vocab around. Pretty cool, but I'll probably need some real flashcards at some point.
Our instructor right now (will change later) is 26. I asked him what his father did and he said he is a retired Afghan General. He retired after he was almost killed by a suicide bomber. The deployment is starting to get real.
