<p>I have a question about subliminal language tapes. Y'know, tapes that you listen to whilst sleeping, and supposedly enable you to speak the language efficiently over the course of a few months. Well, do they actually work? Are these tapes available at a major retail store? In 6 months I'm headed off to France, and I know not a word of French besides the popular phrases.</p>

<p>Well, I listen to economics tapes to go to bed. I don't think I remember anything duing the 2nd half because I'm knocked out.</p>

<p>I listen to Chinese music when I sleep. I don't think my Chinese (or music) skills have improved because of it.</p>

<p>If that were true I'd know every word to every song on my iPod.</p>

<p>If that were ALSO true a LOT more people would take advantage of it. People are not failing Spanish because those tapes work.</p>

<p>Not exactly the same thing but...</p>

<p>interesting nonetheless.</p>

<p>I think it would depend on what kind of sleeper you are. But they most likely don't work.</p>

7

<p>My psychology teacher taught us that those do not actually work, but I forgot why.</p>

8

<p>anyone read flowers for algernon?</p>

9

<p>YES! The ending was kinda sad...why'd the mouse have to die?</p>

10

<p>to show that his mind really was deteriorating or something like that...</p>

<p>LOVED Flowers for Algernon. Beautiful story. We watched the film too. The guy was so sweet.</p>

12

<p>it is scientifically proven that they do NOT work...get off your butt and actually study!!!</p>
