I usually say 8+ because people have varying definitions of what it means to speak a language. Here are all languages I have ever studied for more than a few hours, in chronological order. I have marked the ones that I'm intermediate or higher in with an asterisk. * German (language) - 0 years old - my native language. Obviously fluent in it now, I have created 500+ language lessons for it as the host of GermanPod101 and I sometimes teach students over Skype.* English (language) - 10 years old - learned it as my first foreign language at school in grades 5-13. For the first few years I was really bad at it, but then I got English-speaking penpals, I hung out on political discussion forums online and I started voice-chatting, so that it started to feel like another native language around age 17 or so.* Latin (language) - 12 years old - my second foreign language at school, grades 7-11. Started studying Latin because it was a mandatory choice between either Latin or French and I thought Latin would help me with other languages in the future. After three years, my teachers recommended me as a tutor for weaker students and eventually I started teaching Latin online on Myngle and Edufire. Udemy course to appear soon.* French (language) - 14 years old - my third foreign language at school, grades 9-10. I really struggled with this language and quit after grade 10, but I had online friends who wouldn't let me forget it completely. I visited Montréal for a month immediately after graduating from high school and stayed with a French-speaking family, from where I picked up my passion for the Québécois variant. When I needed a linguistic-oriented university major to go with my study of computational linguistics, and I was too late to inscribe for English Studies, it was easy to decide on French Studies instead and my trusty online friends helped me re-activate my French in time for the initial evaluation exam. I speak French fluently now and I enjoy reading some classic French literature.* Esperanto (language) - 14 years old - the first language I studied outside school. I had read a popular science book about linguistics, which dedicated a few pages to Esperanto and mentioned that it was the most successful of all constructed languages, and designed to be super-simple. I thought to myself "If it's so simple, I should be able to pick it up without effort, as another notch in the belt. If it gets too hard or annoying, I'll just drop it, no regrets". So I signed up for the German Esperanto Youth's free e-mail-based course and got a mentor who was a student at Berlin Technical University. Learning Esperanto was exhilarating, the only language before or after that was intrinsically motivating to study. I finished the course in 5 months, then attended a weekend course for intermediate students in Berlin that my tutor invited me to, and by the end I was comfortable in Esperanto. Read also how Esperanto changed my life: http://www.quora.com/esperanto-best-of/How-Esperanto-changed-my-life* Italian (language) - 16 years old - my fourth foreign language at school, grades 11-13. Started studying this because of the vacuum left by quitting French class. By the end of grade 13, when I chose Italian for my oral baccalaureate exam, I was able to talk fluently about technical matters I had studied before, for example the causes of Venice's frequent flooding problem. Then I didn't use Italian at all for the next 5 years or so and I'm afraid it's not as fluent as it used to be, though I have started to use it a bit more regularly. I still regularly read books in Italian.* Modern Greek (language) - not sure exactly when I started studying it, because a Greek friend kept teaching me a few things here and there and eventually I decided to pursue it more seriously. I learned the basics in self-study and from my friend, then to signNow intermediate level I used the Assimil method Greek course and an online tutor. Right now I'm conversational but not fluent and I have read four non-simplified books in Greek without the help of a dictionary.* Mandarin Chinese (language) - 18 years old - I've always been fascinated by Chinese characters, so when I heard about a federal competition for high schoolers starting to learn Chinese, and I was in my last year of high school, that was all the motivation to start it then. I studied it by myself for half a year, then won the competition (prize: scholarship for 6 weeks language school in Beijing), sat in 1 1/2 semesters of Chinese at my university, then those 6 weeks in China (2004), then some more self-study, which tapered off... in 2009 I decided to get serious about it, studied 2500 characters in that one year, then have been steadily improving since. Last week I had a 2 1/2 hour conversation all in Mandarin about all kinds of topics, but I still search for words occasionally. I have also read almost a dozen books in Chinese by now.Thai - 19 years old - learned maybe 100 words and phrases just for fun. Been re-discovering it recently, but still not sure where I want to go with it.Czech (language) - 22 years old - I got the opportunity to attend a seminar in the Czech Republic, so I studied some Czech, maybe 500 words, even though the seminar itself would be in Esperanto. I haven't done anything about Czech since this trip, so I forgot it all.Swedish (language) - 24 years old - exact same as for CzechLithuanian (language) - 24 years old - exact same as for Czech. I'm happy I learned it, because otherwise I would have missed my flight back. After the seminar, the bus stop to get to the airport had changed and none of the passer-bys were able to speak English or another of my languages.* Kiswahili (Swahili) - 26 years old - I want to study some languages that are truly different from the ones I studied so far, and Swahili sounds really cool. I learned it from the Assimil course. I haven't had a chance to speak it much, but I can read and write it well enough to keep a diary in it for example.* Dutch (language) - 27 years old - As Dutch is so similar to German, low-hanging fruit so to speak, it would be stupid not to pick it. Some language geek friends and I made a challenge to learn Dutch in 6 weeks of self-study. For proper motivation, I signed up to give a 45-minute presentation of the German language, in Dutch, at a language festival in Leeuwen exactly 7 weeks after we started. I managed, though only a Dutch attendee could tell you how many mistakes I made. These days I'm keeping my Dutch active by reading books and listening to the political radio program "Met de oog op morgen".* Spanish (language) - 27 years old - Spanish is similar to Italian. I wanted to study it but found the course too boring, so I jumped straight into reading "A Space Odyssey" in Spanish. Spanish and Italian keep conflicting in my mind though, whenever I want to speak one, I keep thinking of words in the other language, so it requires concentration. Reading Spanish or understanding TV is no problem at all.Arabic (language) - 28 years old - I studied it non-seriously before but always got discouraged quickly. In 2011, I finally managed to bring Arabic up to A2 level, but then I lost interest because the people I was planning to talk Arabic to moved and there's not much to read in Arabic even if my level was better.Finnish (language) - 28 years old - This language never really interested me, but some language geeks made it a challenge to spend 35 hours on Finnish in one month and see how far we'd get. I used Assimil, Teach Yourself and a word frequency list supplemented by sound files from Forvo. At the end, my level was evaluated as A2, but I didn't continue to study Finnish. The challenge thread: http://how-to-learn-any-language...Japanese (language) - 29 years old - I spent 50 hours on it for the August/September 6 Week Challenges in 2012 (those challenges occur 4x a year now). My main goal is to understand the anime series "Hikaru no Go" and Japanese Go (board game) lectures and I don't care about much else for now, so I tried a new method that involved flashcards made from Hikaru no Go episodes (try Subs2Srs, it's awesome). After just 50 hours in this challenge, I was able to understand two thirds of a new Hikaru no Go episode without subtitles, and my Japanese was useless for anything else. I have started to take conversational classes. EDIT: I just posted a description of how I signNowed this level so quickly as a step-by-step guide on my blog: http://temp.learnlangs.com/step-...* Indonesian - 29 years old - My most recent addition. I started to learn Indonesian because the Indonesian embassy in Berlin offered a free beginner's course in April 2013. Then they announced a speaking competition for June 2013 and I challenged myself to participate in it, so that I suddenly had to learn Indonesian quite quickly during the May 6 Week Challenge. You learn more about my method and results here. I'm happy to say that I'm currently almost B2 in Indonesian.I recently collected the most useful Language-Learning Advice I gave on Quora.

Oh piece of cake: they are all a scam because the underlying product is a scam.The reason is that the product itself, binary options, are flawed, and not at all legitimate, at least the way they are marketed - as some kind of a reasonable financial product. You might notice that virtually no other financial product is marketed AT ALL, and this is unsurprisingly because they don’t need to be. They sell themselves!Binary options, on the other hand, are structured as a gambling instrument. They are equivalent to betting on coin flips, but you risk 100%, and you only stand to gain ~80% if you are correct, on a thing with 50/50 odds! With a structure like that, you have a permanently negative expected payout, and you are mathematically guaranteed to lose money over the long run. You cannot win, and it doesn’t matter what broker, signals, , you use, you will lose.And that’s all before we even discuss the rest of the problems with binary options… They have no claim on equity, you don’t trade against a proper market, they contribute nothing to price discovery, they hedge nothing, and are unhedgable themselves, just to name a few. You have been fooled by the unscrupulous and relentless marketing practices of the brokers. Skip this whole idea and never revisit it.If you are interested in trading and investing, stick to vanilla stocks.If you are desperate to take on risk, consider exploring equity options.

Hey everyone!Knowledge for growth hacks comes to us from a lot of different sources, either for free or in a highly paid manner. The truth is that for one to obtain it, all it takes is the will for it.Two years ago, before starting our first tech startup, Viral Loops, we built one of the first growth marketing agencies, GrowthRocks, so we’ve seen and analyzed the behavior, the aim and the strategy from a lot of growth hacks out there.We have tried to explain and interpret several growth hacks’ case studies and growth hackers, from Sean Ellis to Harry’s Prelaunch Campaign and from Airbnb’s s...

How do you guys make power point and where do you find the template?Well, who do you mean with “you guys”? I’ll assume that you mean people who work professionally with PowerPoint, working closely with design agencies, and put the final polish on high-level presentations for CEOs of large multinational companies, which is what we do. Full disclosure (→ www.brandic.ch)We make presentations much like any other user who has learnt how to use PowerPoint:We will try to build slides using existing layout under “New Slide” as much as possible, instead of adding text boxes manually because this is infinitely easier later on, down the road, if we ever need to transform the presentation into a client’s design. Rule of thumb: Everything you add manually will come back and bite you in the ass later. Of course, sometimes we HAVE to add something manually that is not part of a slide layout - but we try to keep it to a reasonable level.We will tend to work with images much more than the average corporate user. Our presentations tend to look really good and transport more than just lists of bullet points. We get most of our images from design / branding agencies.Templates? We don’t find them anywhere. We build them from scratch, usually according to design mockups in InDesign submitted to us by the branding agency. Of course we regularly come across things that are required by the design which are simply not possible in a straightforwards PowerPoint template (with no macros), like hierarchical numbering, chapter headings which automatically update, depending on where the slide is (like Word’s StyleRef). So there’s usually quite a lot of to and fro until the final result is approved by the agency and goes to the client.As our clients are almost exclusively large multinationals, we often end up creating multi-language versions of the templates, and because the templates usually consist of slide layouts on the one hand and actual content slides as “best practice” examples (with explanatory text) on the other, this language conversion tends to be quite a bit of work.But… It’s fun, to be honest.

A couple of days ago /u/Diamons asked if someone had an actual marketing plan they could see link to OP. I offered to send him mine if he PMed me his email. Well I received about 200 PMs over the past couple of days and decided everyone could benefit from it. So sorry for being a couple of days late on this, but I wanted to make it anonymous and presentable for other people. I also decided to do an AMAA for anyone that had any questions. If you have any feedback or ways to help me improve it, I would love to see your suggestions.My Marketing PlanKeep in mind this marketing plan is pretty unique to me. I've created several spreadsheets within this workbook to help me manage tasks related to specific events all the way down to my budget. It's by no means complete and and is always in progress. Tend to flush it our throughout each quarter as I get new ideas. Suggestions are welcome. If there is any identifiable info in there please help me remain anonymous.About the company and my role as a marketer: We are a B2B company that sells business management systems to small to medium-sized businesses. The people I market to are typically high level executives. Though our customers are bringing in at least $1 million in revenue, our sweet spot where we can provide the best service is for firms raking in $10-150 million. We host User Group Meetings in 4 different cities (plus one as a webcast) each quarter for multiple products and other types of Lunch & Learn style events as well. I am the only marketer at my firm responsible for planning 30+ events, managing the website, e-marketing, assigning leads and coordinating telemarketing efforts for the sales peeps. I do not have a degree in marketing so everything I have learned has been on the job. Before I started using a marketing plan I had absolutely no idea what one looked like. Once you get one in place and start using them it makes everything a little easier. I am by no means the best marketer nor is this the best marketing plan, but I'm more than happy to answer any questions about this plan or marketing in general. AMAAedit: I should have noted that when you see certain things in my plan like a webcast or lunch & learn, my marketing goes far beyond that. I know for those events that there is really much more involved than putting it on the calendar. Each event requires a landing page, multiple drip email campaigns, some require telemarketing or physical mail invitations, etc. You can definitely see how much I have to do for each event under the Event Planner tab. I originally used the Calendar that I provided to help me keep track of the tasks associated with each event, but have since started using my outlook calendar so that I get alerts for everything I need to do.edit 2: 1 horse-sized marketing plan. 100 Spreadsheets would be a pain in the ass.edit 3: I would be interested to see your marketing plans. If you have a plan to share please PM me so that I can send you email address. I want to see you you all manage your plans.edit 4: Thanks everyone, as a marketer one of the greatest challenges I face is Reddit. If any questions get asked over the coming days I promise to answer them.edit 5: If you aren't already getting the job announcements from LinkedIn, make sure you get signed up. I don't remember how I signed up for them, but these are the marketing positions that arrived in my inbox this morning.edit 6: Finally created a MEGA account so the plan has been permanently hosted.

Yes. First, I’m going to bullshit around for a few paragraphs (please skip if you don’t care at all about me) and then in final paragraph or so I will tell you what to do.When I was 22 there was nothing I wanted more than A LOT of money and a serious relationship.I thought a lot of money was $600,000. I assumed I’d just make $60,000 a year off that on interest and then I could retire.By “retire” I meant: I can sit around and watch TV and have sex all day. I’m not sure which came first. Like, was the TV what I would do while waiting for sex. Or would sex be what I do while waiting for my favorite TV shows to come on.There was no “on demand” TV. I couldn’t DEMAND my favorite shows then. I had to wait. So it’s a reasonable question to ask.I had one idea: I went to real estate offices and asked if I could videotape all of the houses they had for sale. Then real estate agents can more quickly show people homes while sitting in their offices. Nobody said “yes”.I had another idea. I helped create the Internet Chess Club, which still exists at chessclub.com. And then I had another idea, write a lot of novels until I became a massive bestseller and made a ton of money.I would stand in the shower and think about all the money I was going to make. I still do that. Picture it.None of my ideas worked. Not even the idea of getting into a serious relationship worked. I’m 48 and I’ve maybe been in a few (enough to produce two daughters about to bloom into adulthood) but, in any case, I woke up alone.Then I got into a serious relationship AND I made a lot of money. Almost at the same time. I think they are linked.But because I was unhappy in my relationship, I ended up losing all of the money.Let me tell you how.Every day I gambled. I played poker every single day. And I would put millions into bad tech companies. Like a wireless software company that made text devices for deaf people. Or a company that sold magazine subscriptions online. Or a house where I put nothing down so my expenses per month skyrocketed so much that the idea I could live on $60,000 a year was like a cruel joke.Every day feels like a sprint. Even now. It feels like I have to make changes TODAY, so that by tomorrow (or even tonight) my life would change and be better.It’s so hard to realize the basic cliche “life is a marathon and not a sprint” is true.Because everyone opens their mouth and shits out the word “NOW” or “mindfulness”.NOW sort of implies it’s a sprint.Ok, enough of this garbage. I have another paragraph or two you can ignore and then I’ll tell you what to do specifically.FIRST: you have to build the foundation of well-being in your life. Without well-being you can’t succeed. It’s true.Do this: sleep 8 hours a day, eat well, move a lot. Be around good people and ONLY good people. Eliminate all toxic people. Be creative at least once a day. Remember every moment to say “thank you” to the good things in your life.Ok, that’s the foundation. You have to do it to succeed. For “creative”, at the very least write down 10 ideas a day to build your idea muscle. Else you will be one of the 99% dumb people. Be in the 1% and don’t be ashamed of it.Now I will tell you what to do to make money.Research something enough that you can become an expert. Do something in one of these categories: “Get paid, get laid, lose weight”. Write a 30 page special report that is unique. Or at least a summary of 100 other reports you’ve read.We need more concise information in this world (and yes, that includes this long answer - I know you had that joke ready).Make a Facebook ad for $10. Give away your special report for free but only if they sign up for your email list.Now come up with a product to sell. Even if you did not make the product you can get a nice affiliate fee (at least 50% and up to 100% of the revenues).Sell it to your new email list.By the way, I would not recommend something I did not do myself.All of the above works.But I wouldn’t be telling you any of this if I didn’t wake up myself, alone.
