Tracking progress

I am going through discoveries after discoveries. Take for instance this Norsk Experiment, being the report of a self-learner of Norwegian language. The purpose of the game was "learning a foreign language from the beginning only in this language without any use of other languages". Not only is the approach (maybe) unique, but the reporting of it, and how reporting about ones efforts at achieving something may actually enhance the will to go further on is a major point of interest. It reminds me of a similar report on progress by a learner of manouche guitar I followed a few years ago. Tracking personal progress as a self-supporting medium could be a mandatory part of learning at school.

Last words found on that Norsk Experiment web site. They read like a prophecy:

"We believe that the best way to look for the truth is to be engaged in an atmosphere of dialog and discussion. With our readers' contribution we want to maintain an exchange of thoughts and we hope for a process of evolution of thoughts getting closer and closer to the truth about effective methods for learning languages and, in fact, for all kinds of learning.
