    I guess you could use it to learn the nouns and use another method for the rest. Sometimes it is hard to learn nouns O_o;;

    You reduce human abilities…
    “There no is need to sentence forming you understand for people” xD
    It is still clear.

    But… ok, objects? So they’re supposed to draw 10-1000 pictures a day? :D nnnice

    hahahahaha Hallucin8 lol

    It’s faster than traditional methods because it links words and verbs with other ones working the way the brain does

    Sorry buddy but Rosetta stone kicks ass

    I would have to agree, the only drawback is, of course the price difference.

  8. nestorlovesguitar says:

    yeah it looks fun to do..all that drawings and colors…

  9. nestorlovesguitar says:

    I back you up wey, everybody’s brain works differently and it’s up to you to discover the best way you can learn…only you can tell wheter if you are learning or not and only you can ddevelope better ways to improve. Yet I find that mind maping method kinda amusing and creative. Does it work for me? I gotta get taht to test

    Good for reading and writing but speaking -NO.
    Tony Buzan’s pronounciation of some of the foreign words is not correct – e.g. Spanish for apple is manzana but the z is pronounced th, Tony.

    gave me a headache

  12. AxisMundiOnline says:

    hmm, spent years studying study methods… mind maps are great for somethings, but terrible for languages. The pimsleur method is by far the most effective.

  13. Elearning123 says:

    In south america is pronounced the way he did! It’s Manzana = Mansana

  14. MrHotcrossbun says:

    Correct. but the programme is “Learn Spanish”. Where do most of us Brits go on holiday – Spain or Peru?

  15. Elearning123 says:

    Well, I do agree! I think you might as well learn the spanish of spain in this case. At any rate, I should think learning languages was always a critical issue for people! attending courses in spanish ought to be necessary and MIND MAPPAING is going to be sthg extra that can back one’s learning spanish! or any language

  16. percymate says:

    Spain Spanish has a lisp on C and Z. South and Central America don’t.

  17. MrHotcrossbun says:

    Not a lisp on C everytime. The myth about the lisp is that the court of Spain adopted it so as not to embarrass the king, who had a lisp and it grew from that. But not true.

  18. zocurtis says:

    By Assimil is better.

  19. zocurtis says:

    That’s only with Castillano… in Latin America z is pronounced s. He actually pronounced it correctly.

  20. halfstepdown88 says:

    Does assimil work for native english speakers wanting to learn Spanish?

  21. halfstepdown88 says:

    Nice what pimsleur have you done? I’m currently almost done with the second disc of Spanish. I feel I have learned quite a bit

  22. zocurtis says:

    Assimil is the best for learning Spanish because all the recordings are in the target language and the book has the language and your native language translations. You’ll have to see a book to know what I mean. Check out ProfASAr.

    I wantz to learn japz!

  24. candistyx says:

    It’s just a regular ol spider diagram. How does this guy get away with claiming he invented this idea?

  25. PifWorks says:

    @Dynamics18 The thing that our brain learn easier are images, and there is a easy example: do you remember better the image of a word or better the image of the first gril/boy you kissed? That’s it. Mind Maps try to create movement, color, and even emotions, so that you head can remember it.
