Gage (calibrador)

That gage is the number of words tha I know, and that's why we make that, the main metric at linq. Now, It's kind of like a leading indicator, you have to...a lot of  things. You can study these words from wordness*. You have to learn them, through a lot of listening and reading  you also should  say phrases. But the one easy thing to measure...the sort of the gordian nud,  is the number of words that you know. Now people can say well, you know,  How do you know You know them, you know them passively, you can use them, I don't care, If I can understand the ...context, I'm happy because my goal is to understand. And I know  If I build up my ability to understand, that's a very solid base  from which to star to speaking. If your ability to speak gets a hand  of your ability to understand,  ...in difficult times, because you say something anyone understand what people say back. Now, in Check ....that I know twenty thousand words. I don't really know twenty thousand words. But I know that two months ago ......I know with every day as I'm continuing to work at it. I am increasing my vocabulary and I also know as I download texts  from Check newspapers on the web***. ...undestand more and more of it. ...there is more and more ***which words that in fact I do know ***so to me a VERY GOOD MEASURE of wheter or not we are progressing is this number of words that you know.

Why do some people struggle to learn languages?

A strategy for language learning

I have my blutooth speakers on, because as I was setting up here, and wherever I'm doing anything I'm listening to my romanian because I'm into romanian right now. Today I'm gonna talk about strategy what I consider be the essential stratigic consideration in language learning. I'm keeping this sound because I'm gonna turn on my romanian shortly just  for ...here....but... I said before that language learning really amounts to the attitude of the learner, the time you spend with the language, and developing  the ability to notice. And this ability to notice  is key; because your brain is gonna learn  but the brain has to notice the language.  ...patterns of the language, pronuntation or whatever. So, what's is the strategy for learning to notice, and If you develop the strategy for learning to notice that then becomes a strategy for learning the language. And to me the strategy to notice and to learn the language is to have a two prong* attack on the language. One is a top down, and the other is  a bottom up  or buttoms up. In others words, one is the big picture (top down)  and the other is the bits and pieces, which is buttom up. Now what does that mean spercifically , It means the top down, the big picture is the input, which is where I spend most of my time, and the bits and piecesç, bottom up, is abi attention you pay to flascards worslists, grammar rules,  grammar tables, even in the early stages of  speaking and being be corrected, those kinds of things. Most of my effort, with Romanian, has been with the big picture. I'd been add Romanian for about   three weeks . I've discovered radio Romenia, where they have: history programms, news casts,  unfortunely, they don't have trasncripts, but I have gone  to i lands* ....If i can to find the trascriber  so that I can transcibe some of these very intresting history discussions. Also in terms of the big picture, I've gone  after wikipidia there is all kind of  stuff on romanian histoty, which I've imported to linq, so I cramped out  * my linking, my new words ...

Why We Need A Lot Of Words

Let's watch

 Today I wanna talk about words, the importance of words, and how many words we need, It's a subject that comes  out regularly . I came across a very interesting article, and in fact, I'm gonna write a blog post about it. .....next week ...writing it. We need lots of words. Essentially in order to learn a language, beyond this sort of very superficial social level, we need a large vocabulary. The best way to aquire that vocabulary in my opinion is through a lot of reading, and reading things that are meaningful, and in fact historically, that's how people learn languages and, when we discover ..we star rading things that  are interesting to us, not just text book material. In facft you need a lot of words, and the vast majority of  language courses don't enable the learner to aquire suffcient vocabulary to go out to read a book. and I belive that in any of the languages that I have learned, I wanna get to .. I can read books of interesting to me:history, litterature, whatever might be, that I can without difficulty and enjoy *..read things that interesting to me*. To do that you need a lot of words, and there is this myth about that if you have a thousand words you can cover just* any context in the language. It's simply not truth, apparantly according to research, one hundred  to* fifthy words  will probably cover in most languages, fifthy percent, of the words in any given context. However, once you get beyond that the words are less and less frequent *..less and less frequent words appear very much less frequently    * the example is given in james Joyces l* for example has a total words *fifhty thousand, but uses thirty thousand diffrent words so you will in order to understand every word in Ulyses, You have to know twentty thousand words

The New World of Language Learning

I had a short meeting with them...

We learn from the world around us

so... stay tune!

which in fact in my case...even then (incluso entonces) wasn't really the case...because as long as I relied on...school for example..for French I couldn't speak French ...to the extend I got away from the classroom I learned more ...

But...the amount of  languages the sort of   scale of language learning opportunity that we have today is so much bigger  than was the case fifty years ago..I mean there is no comparison ...When I think of how I use the internet my Ipad...You know ...different technology including Linq of course...audiobooks, E Books, ...I mean..  even so much more stuff , conversations by the internet...There is so many more reasons why today education is not the school. Education is the world  off ..acces of... means of...You know communication. MP3 files, youtube,  I mean you name it. So.. I think what's happening is..that I think..that's we are gonna experience here , that  in a way of the role of the teacher and the learner changes a bit. Learners become teachers, teachers become learners..it's ... learners learn from each other...I mean...  It's that kind of an environment.

Interview #1 with Tim Ferriss: Language Learning - Fluent in 3 months - Language Hacking and Travel Tips

Interview #1 with Tim Ferriss: Language Learning - Fluent in 3 months - Language Hacking and Travel Tips: Today I'm very happy to share an interview I did with New York Times best selling author, Tim Ferriss.

He got his fame initially for writing the 4 hour workweek, followed it up with the 4 hour body, and has just released the third in the series, the 4 hour chef.

The first book was about working well, and he inspired a lot of people to go location independent and start their own businesses after reading it (although I had been travelling for several years already myself when I first read his book), his second book was about living healthily, and to complete his healthy-wealthy-wise series, his final book is about how to learn.

Tips on Learning French

turn me on

I had a professor who turned me on to French civilization...

It tends to roll on on

The way of sound of the word  is carry It on to the next word..

These are things that you have to get used to ...


One thing I recomend insofar as pronuntiaton is concerned is to get used to xxxxx
You have to pick up xxxx

really getting into the language

I'm getting a little xxxof my self hear..

If you come out of the few words ...
Carriying on the sound

unsatisfying thing to do
There is a whole  bunches of stuff
not to mention the fact that 
so much better if you speak French
It's well worth the effort (vale la pena)
get pass it
go pass the grammar
go back in visiting grammar from time to time
Once you have some experience with the languege

Taxonomy by Bloom

SO LET ME MAKE IT very clear..

Because they have a tendency to complicate things...

people can form their own opinion


...or turned off by what you say...

Linguistics and Universal Grammar

...but I also like keep things simple 

The old Ockham's Razor theory 

There is an easy explanation and a complicated explanation. I prefer the easy one.  I think that language learning is just a matter of  exposing yourself  to the language 

some good stuff some bad stuff

I prefer the way we do at linq

not of this stuff really influence very much what we do at linq 

my overwhelming impression 

and stuff like that...

so..basically what I am trying to say is...I read, but I don't buy  this overcomplication 

but thereafter there is a long long road as you pick up the large number of words that make up the twenty percent ...lower frequency words 

I'm interested in learning the language from the language, and enjoy myself 

I don't need to parse 

one of the Chomsky's reasons for assuming his Universal Grammar was otherwise he said how could you explain that children learn to speak so quickly...but they don't learn to speak so quickly they spend enough of long time hearing the language even exposed to the language in the womb   so...  the star to speaking they stumble and they gradually through trial and error ...You know peack up on the pattern of the language that sorround them which could be spoken in more complete sentences, in some languages in some enviroments, or could be spoken in basic forms of communication where a lot of stuff outside the language  is understood.
