Un país en la mochila'' is directed by José Antonio Labordeta, who carries out his particular travelling chronicle and proposes a journey through his impressions of the economy and artistic representations of the Spanish rural world. Some of the routes offered by this series are the Segura mountain ranges in Andalusia; the Moncayo in Aragon; Panes a Potes in Asturias and Cantabria; La Gomera in the Canary Islands; the Alto Tajo or Señorío de Molina in Castilla La Mancha or El Duratón in Castilla León. José Antonio Labordeta is known as a singer-songwriter and poet. But his status as a historian and teacher gives him the knowledge to describe the customs, landscapes and characters of each region.

THE GOLDLIST METHOD – A SCIENTIFIC CRITIQUE AND WHY IT’S A WASTE OF TIME

Here's an exchange about methods at times heated (in the discussion at the bottom). The author does not beat about the bush as to what he thinks is useless.


Ha! I guess I HAVE been wasting my time!

I've said several times I am not sold on the gold list method, but i keep doing it. The reasons, I think, are a bit if a refutation of the above, so I will list them and let anyone who bothers to read them evaluate:

1. The time in my schedule and the space in my brain available for intensive study is full. I have a language course; I take lessons on italki; I read intensively and extensively. This method allows me to list and study vocab without focused concentration. I have no doubt that focused concentration methods would be better, but I use this method when I just can focus that hard.

2. The list gives me great pools of info to study. I compile them from new vocab I consider important that I find in other methods, so the lists are great compilations if the things I think I should be studying. And if I want to choose another method I have a great customized resource.

3. The lists are self-cleaning. By having to remove 1/3 every distillation, I'm only reviewing the most important things I need to study.

4. I don't like flashcards and don't want to do them in physical or virtual form.

So there it is, not a defense if the gold list but rather an explanation of why I use it. If I were studying for a vocabulary test, it isn't the method I would use, but as a supplement to core study methods that lists and reviews vocab, I think it's alright.

If you read the comments section you see the author backtracking some when people point out he incorrectly interpreted some of the method. Author seems a bit rude to me, after all different strokes for different folks.
