		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been considering getting a dog, so of course costs of caring for one are a big factor in making that decision. Dog costs would include the sum of the following: dog itself, food, potential accessories (crate, collar, leash, food/water bowls, toys) and veterinary care. All of these except one are very easy to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s say you want to get married. If you live in US, you need to pay the state to get a marriage license. Now this seemed odd to me at first. Why on Earth would you need a license to marry someone you love? Shouldn&#8217;t you just have someone perform a ceremony and make an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last post, I listed the tools that I use for studying the kanji the Heisig way. Now, I will explain the method. 
The First Steps

Read the intro
First of all, you should read the introduction to RTK. Heisig there explains very nicely how the whole method is supposed to work. I&#8217;ve read the introduction [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During the past 11 months I have been slowly learning how to write kanji following James Heisig&#8217;s method described in his Remembering the Kanji book. While the book gives you the groundbreaking approach to learning kanji, it is usually not enough on its own to get you through all 2042 characters. I&#8217;ve experimented with different [...]]]></description>

For this reason, children indeed do have an advantage in learning languages when compared to adults, since they accept [...]]]></description>

The topic can be anything and very soon something else will pop into the conversation and take it where it was never meant to go. Unless there is some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[All children are born as autodidacts, but through schooling, most forget that they can learn something on their own without being taught. This happened to me too. After 12 years in brainwashing school systems, I assumed that in order to learn anything credible, it has to come from an institution with lots of good reputation, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For those of you who don't know what All Japanese All The Time (AJATT) is yet, here is my attempt at defining it in one sentence: AJATT is a method for learning Japanese language by creating a Japanese immersion environment around yourself while having fun every step of the way. <a href="http://www.alljapaneseallthetime.com">Khatzumoto's AJATT website</a> contains incomparably more information about the whole method, so please check it out, but I'll try to explain its basic philosophy in the nutshell.]]></description>
