This is an interesting short video of a 20 year old Oxford student who speaks eleven languages. He says how the context is the most important thing for him in language learning. I'm sure he would enjoy the LingQ method.

Thanks. Yes, it's very interesting. The link at the bottom, "Digital tools to save language," is also good.

What in my opinion is the most impressive with him is the way he handles the native accents... He speaks very well, his Dutch accent is great, I would not be able to make a difference with a native Dutch-speaker... Amazing.

His accent is quite good in in most of the languages I can judge (for a split-second I though his Greek was Spanish, I never knew they sounded that similar).
