In his own words, Dr. Orlando Kelm is "a lucky guy" professionally. Not only does he get to spend his time with two languages (Spanish and Portuguese), but he is also the Associate Director of Business Language Education for the UT Center for International Business Education and Research (CIBER), a part of the McCombs School of Business. He is also author of a new book on intercultural relations called When We Are the Foreigners. In our interview, Dr. Kelm shares what he believes to be the 6 most important factors in effective language learning:

• Time on task
• Learning in context
• Learning scripts and chunks
• Focusing on "intake" over mere "input
• Leveraging "narrow listening"
• Focusing on the culture, not just the language
