Review of spanish google translation::Traductor De Google
Maybe I am old, but I remember when I was a little girl that I used to listen to the radio and hit the "Record" button on my tape cassette player to grab a song that I loved. Well, cassette tapes may be a thing of the past, but I'm going to show you to how record songs for yourself just like I used to do. This time, however, we're going to do it to learn a new language. Not only is listening to the radio fun, but it's also a necessary part of language learning. Part of this is to help your brain "get used to" the sounds of your new language, but also because it simply will encourage you to make your learning fun, by immersing yourself in the culture. Listening can be a real pain, because if you are like me, then you like to listen and watch videos and MP3s on your MP3 player. For me, this is my cell phone. That is when I found this really neat tool the other day called Freecorder. With instant download and set up (and yes, it's free), you can grab audio and video off the internet to help you learn your language. After installation, hit the "Record Audio" button (on your browser toolbar) and navigate to a site that has something that you want to record. I went to RadioTime, a free internet radio site and did a search on Korean internet radio stations, since I am trying to learn Korean. Then, I sat and waited just like I did when I was a little girl. The result was that I "taped" a bunch of songs in Korean, which I added to my iTunes or Windows Media Player playlist. I then headed over to MySoju and played some videos in Korean. Freecorder records those too. It will also record the full video file, but that goes beyond the concept of this article. When I found a phrase that I could easily translate using Google's Translator tool, then I recorded it. I'm going to now show you the most efficient way possible to learn a language, without ever picking up a vocabulary flash card or memorizing boring drills. A short note here: you CAN and you SHOULD memorize vocabulary. You should go to Amazon.com and find a book on how to learn your language. But you don't have to. It just makes your learning curve easier. Ready to start? Then let's go! The most efficient method to learning a new language is surprisingly simple. All you have to do is record words and phrases that you can easily translate from watching subtitled videos (see above) and listening to the radio. A really important note now. You will have to know the basics of how to write the language. For me, Korean script comes second nature, but it took a while for me to learn it. Now that I have, I can look up phrases quite easily. So if you are trying to learn a language that has a completely different script than English or the Roman language alphabet, you are going to have a hard time figuring out how to translate words. My suggestion is to learn this very basic thing first before beginning. Ok! Now go have some fun and watch a television show. Do this before you record your audio, because trust me, it is a lot easier to go back to something you recognize and it is a lot more enjoyable to actually watch a show in full instead of stopping and starting. As you go through, you can try to "spot out" phrases that might be easy to figure out and translate. Once you got a clip, stick it in your iTunes or Windows Media Player playlist. Be sure to type out the translation. iTunes and Windows Media Player have a hard time with subtitles, so if you use Windows Media Player, use it with the lyrics and if you are using iTunes, use it with the artist so the target language and the English will both show up. Now, over the next ten days, actively listen and read these phrases. There is no reason to try to "memorize" them. Just play them once or twice per day. And surprisingly enough, by the tenth to twelfth day, you have learned it! It's really that easy. There are many disadvantages to this approach, one of which is that it takes time. If you put in about an hour per day (30 minutes of watching television, and 30 minutes of making phrases/repeating phrases), it's going to take about two years to learn your language. However, I guarantee that this method of studying is going to take you to zero to expert in about a year and a half. You are also dependent on videos and audio from other web sites, not a traditional course, which is bad if that material suddenly disappears off the internet. You can, of course, buy a phrase book or a traditional course and supplement your learning too. In fact, this will tremendously boost you along in your contextual learning. Combine these ways to have fun and learn a new language! |
