Chinese Listening Experiment - Some Thoughts on how to apply Dreaming Spanish method to other languages when learning to read

If you are not familiar with Dreaming Spanish, the method is basically Comprehensible Input Method or ALG, and a decent portion of the people who learn using Dreaming Spanish just follow that method (purist approach) or use other study methods in addition to the Dreaming Spanish Method (non-purist approach). I find the subreddit for r/dreamingspanish quite friendly because it is welcoming to people who've taken traditional classes before/currently, who've studied with flashcards/anki, and anyone else who does things outside of Comprehensible Input for study. The subreddit r/dreaminglanguages is also friendly of people studying with mainly Comprehensible Input that have also done other methods of study before/may be doing other methods at the same time.

Comprehensible Input Method is basically watching videos (or taking in person classes or livestream classes) of a teacher speaking your target language only, and using visuals like images and gestures to give you enough context to understand what the main idea they're conveying is. So you learn the target language entirely IN the target language. You go through lessons for 'beginners,' 'intermediate' and 'advanced' learners (the lessons tend to be labelled or named for the level of learner they make the lesson 'comprehensible' for). Eventually you engage with other content in the target language - other stuff made for learners that's entirely in the target language (like learning podcasts for 'beginner' 'intermediate' 'advanced' and graded readers).

Then eventually you engage with content in the target language made for native speakers - whatever you can comprehend the main idea of (vlogs, shows, comics, stuff with visuals tends to be easiest). Anything you already know the context for, such as shows and books you've read before in a language you know, may be easier to comprehend sooner since you already know the main idea of the material. Over time, the amount of content made for native speakers that you understand increases, and you expand the content you engage with (like novels, shows that talk about abstract subjects, podcasts, audiobooks). Once you are using content in the target language made for native speakers that you comprehend the main idea of, you are basically 'immersing' and can look up immersion study tips. To do a pure comprehensible input method like Dreaming Spanish advises, you would look up no word translations, you would look up words in a target language dictionary if you wanted to look something up.

Many people do Comprehensible Input alongside other study methods, such as looking up word translations and making flashcards because they don't actually care if some of their study activities involve non-target language material. (I don't use purely comprehensible input method to study, I do other stuff, I look up translations often, and I sure read a bunch of grammar guides as a beginner). Like I mentioned, the subreddits r/dreamingspanish and r/dreaminglanguages are fairly friendly to people doing a 'non purist' approach, such as people who continue to use translation tools and flashcards, or people who took traditional classes in the past/currently (which tend to explain grammar and vocabulary meanings not in the target language but in the language the learner is assumed to already know).

For the purpose of this post, I am going to be reflecting on how to study in the Comprehensible Input Method way, like Dreaming Spanish suggests to study (more or less), and how to apply that to various languages.

For languages using the latin alphabet, if you already know the latin alphabet? Or for any language where you already know the symbols of the writing system. Follow the study suggestions as Dreaming Spanish lays it out, it should work fine. So whether you study Spanish, or French, or Portuguese, find beginner-intermediate-advanced comprehensible input lessons and complete them, use children's shows with a lot of visual context as additional comprehensible input, use podcasts made for learners (who are at your level of understanding - so for beginners etc) entirely in the target language (or as close to only in TL as you can find) as additional comprehensible input. Eventually use TV shows with a lot of visual context (like action shows or slice of life) or TV shows you've seen before (and already know the context) for additional comprehensible input. Optional: I would suggest you also find a Comprehensible Input Lesson video that goes over the alphabet/writing system and the name and pronunciation of each letter, ideally find a lesson video IN the target language. If you cannot find a lesson video on the writing system in the target language, finding a video or website that shows a chart of the letters and pronounces them will work. If you have to read some non-target language text, I guess that'll technically not be pure comprehensible input. The main point is to see the target language writing system and hear the pronunciation. This part is not recommended/necessary in Dreaming Spanish, but since children learn the alphabet when they start school or beforehand, it might be useful to also learn it to make your efforts learning to read easier.

Dreaming Spanish suggests you can start learning to read around 600-1000 hours of comprehensible input - and I suggest you start learning to read WHENEVER you want (if you don't care about strictly following the suggested roadmap Dreaming Spanish has). When you're ready to learn to read, I suggest starting by turning captions on the videos and shows you're watching. I would suggest not counting time with captions on as 'comprehensible input hours' in terms of listening skills since you will develop reading skills more while watching the captions, but ultimately your decision what to consider this activity. Reading the captions will allow you to learn to read words you have already learned in listening. Additional activities: if you listen to any learner podcasts or regular podcasts, if you can find the transcript then read along to the transcript, this will also allow you to learn to read the words you can understand in listening. Find Graded Readers, particularly any graded reading material with audio files included (or use Text To Speech tools) and read along to audio. Find audiobooks, and read along to the text version of the audio. Finally, once you feel you've read-listened to enough material to feel you can usually recognize the spelled version of words you know, practice reading without listening to audio.

If the language is a writing system that is phonetic, but not one you already know - so for example if you're an English speaker learning Russian or Korean: Mostly, do what I suggest above. The additional parts will be highly recommended: if you can find any Comprehensible Input Lessons for learners that go over the writing system sounds and pronunciation, watch them and rewatch them. For example here's Korean Hangul lessons in Korean. You can look up videos or webpages that just list the writing system and play the audio such as this video for Russian. Alternatively if you cannot find any video lessons in the target language that explain the writing system, go break the rules and watch a quick video that explains the writing system sounds in a language you understand - yes it's not pure Comprehensible input method, but children are taught X symbols have Y pronunciation when they start school, and you'll want that same basic knowledge to start reading. After learning the basic writing system pronunciation, you'll continue to learn to read the same as the other suggestions above: graded readers with audio, captions on videos, audiobooks with text, podcasts with transcript, and eventually practice reading with no audio.

If the writing system is not entirely phonetic (such as kanji in Japanese, or hanzi in Chinese): Do the same as above suggestions, with a few additional steps. If the language has a phonetic writing system it ALSO uses, learn that first - so Hiragana and Katakana if learning Japanese, pinyin or zhuyin if learning Chinese. Learning those phonetic systems, do the same as suggested above, find any lessons IN the target language that go over the writing system sounds, and if you can't find something entirely in the target language then just use any video/chart/resource that includes the writing system and pronunciations. For the parts of the writing system that are not phonetic, you have a few options. First, you can research how native speakers learn the non phonetic portions - for kanji I've seen the methods of learn by rote memorization and phonetic equivalent tests (write kana for the kanji you see), for hanzi one friend I have studied by writing them a lot and another friend learned a lot of information about each hanzi (the components that make it up, the radicals, a few example words that use the hanzi - since hanzi meanings vary a bit depending on word they're in). If you are not going for a pure comprehensible input approach, it may be time to research the 'fastest' or 'best' way people suggest studying the writing system, and then do trial and error until you find the method that works best for you. You might see some people suggest rote memorization, writing a lot, mnemonic stories, SRS flashcards or apps, sight reading. In foreign language classes, which were not pure comprehensible input, I've had classes mnemonic stories used to teach kanji, and pinyin/hanzi equivalent writing hanzi over and over.

If the language has no phonetic writing system, things will get tricky - if you'd like to do a pure comprehensible input approach, it may be time to research how native speakers learn the writing system. Then do that. If you don't care about doing a pure comprehensible input approach, you will want to research how other people learned the writing system. Then try different methods people have used successfully, until you find one that works for you.

Regardless of if there is a phonetic writing system or not, when you start reading, any text with audio is going to be helpful for learning the writing system. So captions on videos, graded reader text with audio, transcripts with podcast audio, text with audiobook. It's just that depending on you, you may want to do additional study of the writing system beyond just following along to text while listening to audio until you 'recognize' words in the writing system.

Latin Composition Part 4: Elegiac Couplets

Link to the masterpost with other parts

Frankly, I just used the wikipedia page and my Student's Catullus and wrote a bunch of really bad poetry.

These are my favorite, and also where I really started feeling like I understood how Latin poetry worked. Here’s a very (perhaps, too) thorough guide to their composition. Here’s a more beginner friendly guide.

The Romans really liked using these almost like tweets or even shitposts, which, if you’re reading this, probably means you have the same impulse. Highly recommend giving the Wikipedia page a read.

Don’t worry about Roman love elegy (yet). Focus on your Catullus, Martial, and Juvenal.

Notice that the hexameter serves as the setup for the joke and the pentameter is the punch line.

Don’t tear your hair out about some of the Augustan rules for the pentameter yet either. Most people don’t follow them anyways. Btw here’s an elegy written by a Native American man.

Even though Catullus allows himself to ignore it, really work to keep that caesura in the middle of the pentameter.

Potential exercise: read Hyginus’ fabulae and write some epigrams on the different characters. But, honestly, just writing stupid posts but in Latin is great practice. I like translating silly tweets that have the same sort of setup and punch line structure as a distich.

As you get more confident, you may find yourself writing longer poems with these couplets. Generally speaking, each couplet is a self-contained idea, so you really shouldn’t enjamb across a couplet.

Teach Yourself Russian by Daphne West, first impressions

I like the how to speak Russian book from the library so far, it's a bit old (2003 edition of a 1991 book) so it noticeably smells bad to be honest, but so far it's a a solid instructional text.

I like that it doesn't fuck around with transliteration (spelling out Russian words in the Latin alphabet) and just dumps you right into actual for real Russian text. only the first page has a sound-it-out guide, but, as you might expect, that first page is creaky and worn, because it's something you have to check back to very often as a beginner.

the aim of the book, being that it's an older style, is to teach you basic conversational and reading skills specifically to navigate as a tourist or other traveler on a visit. (the very first example conversation is getting your passport checked.) interestingly, some sections involve sections where you have to read hand-written cursive, which I'm still getting the hang of since the letters look so different from their printed forms, and so similar to each other...

due to the time it was first published (1991) there is a short section explaining then-recent changes to forms of address.

Beginners' guide to Kasalsa.

The Essence of Kasalsa

Before diving into the steps, it’s essential to understand what Kasalsa is all about. The dance combines the infectious beats of salsa with the fluid, rhythmic movements characteristic of Caribbean dance forms. The result? A dynamic and energetic style that’s as much about self-expression as it is about following the music.

Kasalsa is often danced in pairs, but solo dances are not uncommon. The dance's core lies in its syncopated rhythms, smooth transitions, and the ability to improvise while maintaining a connection with your partner or the music. Whether you’re swaying to the music alone or with a partner, Kasalsa is all about feeling the beat and letting it guide your movements.

Tips for Kasalsa Beginners

Start Slow:Don’t rush through the steps. It’s better to move slowly and correctly than to speed through and miss the rhythm.

Practice Makes Perfect:Like any dance, Kasalsa requires practice. Dedicate time each day to going over the basic steps until they become second nature.

Feel the Music:Kasalsa is all about rhythm. Listen to the music, and let it guide your movements. If you feel the beat, your body will naturally follow.

Introduction to Latin: The Basics for Beginners

Introduction

Latin, the ancient language of the Romans, continues to enchant and educate people worldwide. Its influence on languages, literature, and legal systems is undeniable. For beginners eager to embark on the fascinating journey of learning Latin, understanding its grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation is the first step. This post will guide you through these fundamental aspects, providing a solid foundation for your Latin learning adventure.

Understanding Latin Grammar

Latin grammar may seem daunting at first, but it's quite systematic. One of the language's distinctive features is its use of inflections. Words change their form (inflect) based on their role in a sentence. This is crucial for understanding Latin since word order is more flexible than in English.

Nouns and Cases

Latin nouns are categorized into groups called declensions. Each noun has a gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter) and is declined according to case and number. There are five main cases in Latin - Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative, and Ablative - each serving a different syntactical purpose. For instance, the Nominative case is typically used for the subject of the sentence, while the Accusative is often the direct object.

Verbs and Conjugations

Latin verbs are conjugated to express tense, mood, voice, number, and person. There are four primary conjugations in Latin, and verbs are grouped into these based on the ending of their second principal part (the infinitive). Learning to conjugate verbs is essential for forming sentences and expressing various actions and states of being.

Adjectives and Agreement

Adjectives in Latin must agree with the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case. This agreement is vital for sentence clarity and coherence.

Building Latin Vocabulary

Expanding your Latin vocabulary is a mix of memorization and recognition of patterns. Many Latin words are the ancestors of English terms, especially those in scientific, legal, and literary contexts. Start with common nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and use flashcards or apps to reinforce your learning. Practice by translating simple sentences from English to Latin and vice versa.

Mastering Latin Pronunciation

Classical Latin pronunciation is somewhat different from the Ecclesiastical (Church) Latin used in religious contexts. Here's a brief guide to classical pronunciation:

Vowels are pronounced more distinctly than in English, with 'a' as in "father," 'e' as in "they," 'i' as in "machine," 'o' as in "fort," and 'u' as in "flute."

Consonants are generally pronounced as in English, but 'v' is pronounced as 'w,' and 'c' and 'g' are always hard, as in "cat" and "get."

Diphthongs like 'ae' and 'oe' are pronounced as 'ai' in "aisle" and 'oi' in "oil," respectively.

Conclusion

Embarking on the journey of learning Latin is not just about mastering a language; it's about connecting with centuries of history, literature, and culture. By grasively embracing Latin's grammar, diligently building your vocabulary, and accurately mastering pronunciation, you're setting a strong foundation for your Latin studies. With patience and practice, you'll unlock the rich and rewarding world of Latin texts and traditions. So, take a deep breath, dive in, and let the language of the ancients guide you through a transformative learning experience.

All the books for young wizards

The popularity of Harry Potter prompted some marvelous magical books for kids. Some are witchy, some are crafty. Most of them have the same basic information so it’s a quest to find the book whose writing resonates with your magical style! These books aren’t all from the Potter craze era, but it seemed good to put all my “books for kid wizards” in one post.

Labcraft Wizards by John Austin

Halfhearted in its wizardly aspects, this is a book of crafts and science tricks with a mild wizardly slant. Make a wand with hotglue, a wand box out of a cereal box, an hourglass out of water bottles, a paper mache owl. There are more sciencey projects like crystal growing, including growing crystals in eggshells which looks very cool, making a bubble cube and repelling floating pepper by putting a bit of dish soap on your finger.

It’s a good book-- it’s just that the Book of Wizard Craft does everything in it so much better.

Witch and Wizard Training Guide by Sirona Knight

A pop Wicca book with some Harry Potter flavored frosting. Good book but any beginner witch book will have the same information. There’s also a companion spellbook.

Grimoire for the Apprentice Wizard by Oberon Zell-Ravenheart

Oberon had a grand vision to start a school for wizards. And it’s still there, so hats off to him! I make no claims to the quality of the lessons since I’m not a student, but it’s an impressive achievement.

The book is large and is an introduction to many areas of magic: rituals, nature, doing spells, divination, healing, divination… just about everything. It’s divided into classes to give that real wizard school vibe, love it! Since there is so much covered it doesn’t go into depth on any subjects and there isn’t anything here that you won’t find in other books, so it mostly comes down to the vibe: bite sized bits of info in a textbook style tome. There is also a Companion volume and a bestiary.

Wizardology

I’m just gonna assume everyone reading this post already owns Wizardology.

Whimsic Alley Book of Spells

Whimsic Alley was a Harry Potter themed magical shop in Los Angeles. It folded after a legal kerfuffle with Warner Bros, alas.

The book was created because shoppers wanted a spellbook, but Wiccan texts didn’t fit the tone. So the shop held a contest for people to send in their favorite Harry Potter style spells. Most of them are one word fake Latin spells with little descriptions. There are also small sections about the lore of Whimsic Alley and photos of wizards posing with the shop’s wands and costumes. So if your magical style is from Hogwarts, this is absolutely the book for you. Otherwise there’s not much reason to buy it. The pictures are kinda great though.

Invincible Magic Book of Spells by Catherine Fet

There are four books by this author, and they’re surprisingly good. Fantasy spells using ingredients easy to find for kids.

And these books are aimed very young. They are the shape of an “I-Can-Read” and only maybe 30 pages long. This means the amazon price is quite high for such a skinny book. Oh, and the back cover says, “This book is fantasy-fiction-style educational activity material. It helps kids engage in fantasy play where they are the main character; develop their independent reading habit; learn to organize and plan their activities.” I think that’s a misuse of semicolons there.

But this book is good! The spells are cool, the illustrations are lavish. There’s also one about potions, one about alchemy and dragons, and one about star magic. I’m keeping my eyes out for cheap used copies.

Spellcraft: a Primer for Young Magicians by Lilith McLelland

Written by a witch but a very general introduction to magic written in a breezy casual style. It’s aimed at teens or tweens and has some talk about herbs, stones, the elements, interacting with spirits and keeping a magical journal. It’s pretty much the stuff you’d find in any beginner witch book, but with no Wiccan religious elements. The author has a fun voice and the book is easy to read and inspiring.

Everything Kids Witches and Wizards

About what you’d expect, aimed pretty young. Includes magic power tests that are scavenger hunts, some simple magical crafting like “a robe is a blanket held on with a safety pin” and some simple positive magic.

It’s all quite basic and presented for kids, but it’s presented well. The idea of making time to be by yourself and tune in, what sorts of things to write in a magic book, and different kinds of spells. Simple stuff like making up a rhyme, blowing bubbles, or turning your wish into a song. No herbs or stones, but colors and astrological signs are in the book.

For being such a mass produced Potter cash grab this book is quite inspiring and worth looking up.

The Book of Wizardry

My favorite of the magic books. I just love how this book is written, it’s in lessons and just the kind of fake pedantic that I adore with the author talking grumpily to his apprentice. You will learn to make wizard’s tools and cast simple spells, learn meditation and explore your imagined castle. The reviews are a bit lukewarm so clearly most people don’t see what I saw... but for someone who wants to throw yourself into something, one lesson at a time for a magical summer this is a perfect book.

Officially by “Cornelius Rumstuckle” it’s actually by Herbie Brennan an actual occultist, author, and all-around odd duck.

The Wizard’s Handbook

A tiny book, I have it along with the Witch’s Handbook, Ghost Hunter’s Handbook, and UFO hunter’s handbook all stuck in a hollowed out book box. There’s also a Vampire Hunter’s Handbook that I think I have around here somewhere. These are funny little books that pretend to be quite serious. The wizard’s Handbook has a few pages about famous wizards of history and some hints at how to cast rhyming spells, picture spells, and quite a good little “reverse my bad fortune” spell. There are also a few science magic tricks and sections about omens and magical animals.

All of these tiny books are worth having. There’s nothing in them you won’t find elsewhere, but the illustrations and presentation are charming.

The Book of Wizard Craft

The crowning glory of the craft books. Lavishly illustrated, a book of making things and wizardly lore and stories of famous wizards. Wands and cloaks and planting gardens, making your own dragon scales and eye of newt (no newts were harmed.) Invisible ink and other sciency tricks. There is a second book, The Book of Wizard Parties, that has crafts and food and stories for all seasons of the year.

The third one, The Book of Wizard Magic, is stage tricks and not pertinent to this post, but the first two are must-haves for your magical library.

Girls’ Handbook of Spells

There’s also a Girls’ Guide to Spells Diary that’s similar. A positive and pretty book aimed at women with a lot of self care and gentle spell ideas. Good stuff like making pizza for abundance and wearing a princess crown as a calming ritual. Not my favorite of the books on the list, but there will be someone who resonates with this kind of magic thought.

Wizards Handbook

On the B&N sale shelves at the same time as the Girls’ Handbook, and similarly illustrated but by different authors. This book is less aimed at girls but has similar information. Good luck spells, invisible ink, magical holidays, simple divination. A mixture of light occultism and science or stage tricks. Not a must-purchase but has some good spell ideas in it.

Young Person’s School of Magic and Mystery by Ted Andrews

A book that takes a different slant—less wizardry, more psychic, mystic, skirting on law of attraction. Lessons on using your own mind to change things, no stones, herbs or potions. When I first picked these up I found them more woo-woo than I like, but on a reread the first book full of good ideas. It has a longer lesson on the wizard’s castle than the Book of Wizardry has (But I bet Andrews and Brennan learned the idea from the same place) a ritual using mazes to cast spells, an experiment for changing temperature with your thoughts as proof that your thoughts have power-- which I’d like to try if I could find a thermometer that worked for it! So this series is a different slant on magic but worth looking at.

The series is ten books as listed in the first book but only six as listed on Goodreads so it may not have made a splash. It looks like the six definitely-existing books are available used on amazon.
