Note about techniques to speak any languages (february the 15th)

The video about 5 techniques to speak any languages, by Sid Efromovich, has a very good looking, but I think there are few things to be detailed. He proposes to

i) To make mistakes. I think this got to be a fundamental not only for learning languages but for life. We can lose a lot of good chances if we don't try something because we are afraid of consecuenses. we have to asume risks if we want to get rewards. But that is one of the hardest things to do. Before watching this video I already knew that i have to chose the most difficult way, because the successful path is always the one that give us most of pain but most of life learning.

ii) Scrap the foreign alphabet. This is very important. Even when the speaker is telling us to scrap our own language for comprehension of the foreign one, he doesn't obbey to his own advise. He thinks of the pronunciation of a portuguese word in terms of the phonemes of two english words. I thinks this is not enough useful, because you are needing of your original language to understand another one, like using the original one as a bridge between foreign language and phonemes, sounds and pronunciation. I think that a better tool, in this case, is to think it all as sounds and words, phonemes and significants; and scrap the original language.

iii) To find a stickler. This one is very useful. We'll need it to improve every single skill. I agree Mr. Efromovich at all.

iv) Shower conversations. When you are not focused on learning languages you have to find every single free time for remembering gramar, improving pronunciation. It is useful to desing our own study strategies. For example, I find grammar cards handy for learning; I can study  them when i walk through "Las Islas" or when I'm waiting for my food. They're pretty useful.

v) Buddy formula. Is better wheter you find a tutor or a friend from the country of the language you are interested of. Sometimes we are ansious to learn the language and we make an study or conversation group despite we didn't get a native speaker. I think we can adopte a lot of mistakes if we don't use properly this strategy. Think about it: spanish speakers trying to get in the right speaking way of a foreing language, when none of them are real good speakers of it.

É tudo.
