There was a post on World Changing about ways to acquire new languages. I've been leisurely learning Russian and occasionally wish I made better progress. The reason I don't make progress faster is because I never take the time to focus on learning Russian. In other words, I would learn faster if it was force fed to me.

Then it hit me. We could use RSS to help people acquire new languages or expand their vocabulary in languages they already know. There are daily emails with "the word of the day" for almost any language, but the migration to RSS has yet to occur - at least as far as I can tell. Does anybody out there know of an RSS feed for language vocabulary??

I would learn faster if my RSS feed reader presented me with one word a day. This technique would definitely increase my exposure, because I at least skim everything that shows up in my RSS reader.

A found a site offering RSS feeds for English vocabulary here .
