I am studying a foreign language right now with <a href="http://www.funnelbrain.com" rel="nofollow">online flash cards</a> from funnelbrain. These <a href="http://www.funnelbrain.com" rel="nofollow">online flashcards</a> have been so useful as a study tool!

But during the second night I was able to sleep (but I had help).<br /><br />I also mixed my Thai language lessons with a sleep audio I got off the internet. The combo is very relaxing, so when I'm sleeping normally, it should be ok.Catherine Wentworthhttp://womenlearnthai.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-47187279190943604622010-01-06T10:47:55.318-08:002010-01-06T10:47:55.318-08:00Hey Catherine!!!

But for me, the times when it doesn't work, it's comforting (hence relaxing, anti-stressful) that at least the time in bed was used constructively, learning German.C. L.

Sometimes nothing works.<br /><br />But your post did get me thinking.<br /><br />Combining a relaxing audio with my Thai conversation audios just might increase the chances of helping me to drop off to sleep. And I get to learn a bit more Thai at the same time.<br /><br />It's a thought...<br /><br />PS: Taking an actual Thai to bed is not in my near future, but I now know where I went wrong with my French studies ;-)Catherine Wentworthhttp://womenlearnthai.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19053670.post-45295565050376978842009-12-21T21:44:13.273-08:002009-12-21T21:44:13.273-08:00Branden--
