Getting Organized for Language Learning

The best books on language learning always give you a nice long list of tools for language study. Then they tell you that it's better to study in your spare moments but every day than for extended periods but only once or twice a week. The result for me, too often, is to spend those spare moments wishing I had brought, eg, my Turkish dictionary with me. Being organized, for its part, consists in tossing notes, flashcards and dictionary for the same language into my briefcase before heading into the office.

Item 1 on this language learning technique page addresses the problem quite nicely. And gives me an excuse to go to Office Max a little later. One folder per language, I would think, would be great for getting out the door with a sense that "Today I shall work on..."

By the way, thanks to Rebecka at the technique page for letting me know my comments weren't working. And apologies to LinguaFrank for not updating his comments till now - I wasn't receiving notice when comments came in for moderation. Hopefully all will work properly now.
