Majalah

2010-12-22T16:17:00.000-08:00

Apa kabar semua,

Lama tidak datang untuk menulis sesuatu dalam Bahasa Indonesia. Saya menyadari bahawa kalo tidak selalu menulis majalah seperti ini, barangkali akan lupa banyak bahasa indonesia...ya? Hari2 ini saya tidak begitu belajar bahasa indonesia karena, masih ada bahasa lain yang saya ingin mulai belajar. Saya pikir yang, asli menulis sesuatu dalam majalah saya, bisa latihan bahasa lebih baik. Bagaimana anda pikir tentang hal ini?

Saya juga harap akan ada orang yang mampu bicara bahasa indonesia lancar sekali untuk bantu saya belajar bahasa ini. Karena, saya tahu yang masih ada salah dalam bahasa saya saja. Terima Kasih atas datang sini membaca majalah saya semua.

Being a good language teacher

2009-09-20T11:35:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I made a video response to Steven Kaufman's video regarding being a good language teacher. I thought it was a great topic to talk about. Being a good language teacher takes a special kind of skill that one will have developed after gaining experience studying a language independantly. During this process one will be able to learn what it takes to effectively learn a language when motivated. This is something that can't be taught in school because they go about teaching foreign languages in a different way. The only way one can obtain this type of skill is through serious independant language study. I think this is why I'm able to teach a language to an individual effectively and at the same time, make them very motivated to learn the language. I never thought I would someday help, show others how to learn languages effectively; especially learning the language independantly. This is something anyone can do as long as they are doing it the right way.

Traditional Textbook Utilization Methods

2009-09-05T07:49:00.000-07:00

I've recently made a video on utulizing textbooks in the traditional way. Before making that video, I was asking myself if it would be ok to make that video because I wasn't sure if anyone would understand that type of approach. To many it may seem unrothodox, but I feel that it is a very efficient way for utilizing the textbook. I would basically take a course like TY(Teach Yourself) or any other type of course and start from chapter one, focusing on the constructions and incorporating those constructions with everything else I've learned. I don't want to contradict myself by saying that we should focus on grammar since I'm no advocate of that. Using this methodology is just giving the student a pretty good idea on how things are constructed. At the same time, these constructions will be incorporated with other things learned previously. As far as vocabulary, you won't memorize every single vocabulary in the chapter. I would choose at least 10 useful words from that chapter to learn and just get familiar with the rest of them. I would sweep through the book after mastering all of the constructions just to play with remaining vocabulary. While in the process of doing this, one should be writing journals every week. This would also increase vocabulary. Utilizing chatrooms for output is another way for building vocabulary. I've tried utilizing the textbook in many different ways, but this one seems to be the most efficient for me.

Burmese Journey

2009-08-15T14:23:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to write a little something about my Burmese learning journey. I feel very happy to have come back to learning this language. Just a few years back, I purchased several books, preparing to go into Burmese boot camp mode. The biggest problem I had was finding the people to practice with. The resources I purchased were ok, but I think I could've had better ones. I recently purchased a Burmese course from paiboon.com and I'm really enjoying it. It has a thorough explanation on the letters which is something rare to come across. I've also purchased a Cambodian book from the same place, but haven't started on it yet. I will very soon and will most definitely post up a video on the language. I plan to update my Burmese video very soon so stay tuned!

Blog Update

2009-08-09T07:54:00.001-07:00

Hello everyone!

I would just like to write something short in my blog. I haven't used it for a while now and I would like to use it more often. I'm thinking of getting some people together for language collaboration. I think it would just be fun to share our ideas with each other. Anyway, I will update my blog more often. To all of my followers, I would just like to apologize for not being here to update this blog. Thanks a lot for all of you guys' support. Take care everyone and continue the language studies!

kila mtu habari!

mimi ninafurahi sana kwa sababu naweza kutengeza lugha zangu hapa. Mimi nilisikiza kwamba naweza kutana na watu wengi ambao toka mahali pengi kwa hivyo natumaini kwamba nitatana na mtu ambaye anaweza kusema kiswahilli vizuri sana. Nafurahi sana kuba mwanachama mmoja hapa. Sawa, kwanza nataka kuzumgumza kuhusu mimi mwenyewe.Mimi nina umri miaka ishrini na saba. Jina langu ni Moses lakini unaweza kuniita panya.Hili ni jina la utani langu tu. Kama unaweza kuelewa kicina, labda unajua kwa nini jina la utani langu ni panya. natoka Merekani na naishii katika jimbo la Ohio mji wa Columbus. Nimeoa, lakini sinawajunia bado. Mimi ni mwanafunzi na najifunza lugha ya kicina katika chuo kikuu cha Ohio pia. Sijawahi kusafiri mashariki ya africa bado, lakini nataka kwenda sana. Kwa sababu, nilisikiza kwamba mashariki ya africa ni mahali ambapo pazuri sana. Haya, sasa natakiwa kuondoke. Natumaini kwamba nitaona watu ambao wanaweza kufahamu lugha ya kiswahilli. Kila mtu, nimefurahi kukutana nyinyi. Tutaonana tena mungu akipenda~

여러분, 안녕하세요!

저는 전에 이곳에 와본적이 없어서, 내 소개해야합니다. 제이름은 모세스라고 하지만, 한국말의 이름은, 쥐라고합니다. 이것은 저의 별명만이에요. 미국에서 왔고, 커럼바스 오하요주에서 살고있습니다. 내가 27살있고, 아직도 대학을 다녀요. 저도 결혼했지만, 우리 아직 애가 없습니다. 내고향이 이도시의 북에 있습니다. 저는 정말 커럼바스 오하요주를 좋아하기때문에, 여기에 이사하기로 정했습니다. 한국어가 정말 재미있으니까, 정말 배우고싶습니다. 그리고, 한국어를 뿐만아니라, 다른 외국어를 배우고있습니다. 이사이트는 참 재미있을 것 같아서, 원를 되기로 정했습니다. 그리고, 저의 한국어 랑 다른 언어들 위해, 너무잘 할 거에요. 그럼, 저는 지금 가야합니다. 제 한국어가이상 하면,교정 주시겠습니다. 부탁합니다. 그럼, 만나서반갑습니다.

皆さんこんいちは！

初めてこのサイトに来ましたね。一人の友人がこのサイトが言語の能力の為にかなり役に立つと言いました。だから、私は申請をすることにしましたね。私は本日私の自信について話したいんです。それは大切な事と思いますから、今からね、紹介始めますよ。　私の名前はモーセスですが、日本の名前はねずみと申します。何故鼠と申すことは、ちょっと説明しますね。だって、私は中国語の勉強を始めた時はね、一人の中国の友人が私に彼の家族を紹介いただいて、彼らは私の名前は何ことを知りたかって、私は彼らに僕の名前をように言ったら、彼らは色々な発音の問題が有りましたようですからね、友人が’’我々は貴方に新しい名前を上げると言いました。’’ねずみ’’という名前を選べました。それは長い物語ですね。　じゃ、私は紹介を続けたいんですね。　私はアメリカ人で、コロンバスオハイオ州に住んでいます。結婚していらっしゃるんですが、まだ子供がおりませんよ。大学を卒業の後で、子供を育ってること期待しています。私の故郷はこの都市の北に有ります。故郷がつまらないでしたから、コロンバスへ引っ越すすることにしました。ただ、故郷にいた時は、沢山の言語の使い機会が無かったので、コロンバスへ引っ越すしましたね。。現実は故郷で中国語とアラビア語しか使いませんでした。では、ここまででございます。私の日本語は変なら、正確していただいてくださいません～　私は一生懸命に学びます。　皆さん宜しくお願いします！

大家好！

我是新到这里来的人，而且我很高兴成为个成员啊。我两天前才参加了呢。我没想到我这里可以在一本日记讨论我想讨论的话题啊。
好的，从此我应该介绍我自己。我的名字叫摩西斯但是我的中文名字叫老鼠。我为什么叫老鼠呢？那是真的说来话长啊。但不要着急我现在有很多的时间所以我要解释给你一下。好久以前，我开始学中文的时候，有一个朋友来自福建。当时他愿介绍他家人给我了。另外，他的家人都想知道我的名字是什么但好像为了他们，发音我的美国名字很麻烦的。他们老我的美国名字发音成‘老鼠’‘。当时我的朋友说了‘’我们应该找你个比较简单的名字，因为你的美国名字听起来像老鼠，我们就叫你老鼠‘’我没有问题接受这样的名字。好的，我要继续介绍我自己啦。我来自美国而现在住的地方是哥仑巴斯俄亥俄州。我是二十七岁。已经结婚了但我们还没有开始养孩子。不过大学比毕业后，我期待开始养孩子呢。养孩子当然是我想做事情的之一。我是个大学生在俄亥俄州立大学。我的专业就是中文但除了中文以外我也学许多的语言。我一边学习一边工作。我现在的工作是教非洲话。好的，就是这样。我希望这儿有会讲这么好中文的人能把我的句子都纠正。我不介意。这最一定是我这儿申请的原因。我很高兴成为个成员而迫不及待交好的朋友。那后会有期！

Chào các bạn. Hôm này tôi sẽ nói chuyện về hoạt động của tôi. Khi rảnh rỏi, tôi thích xem phim với vợ của tôi. Thường chúng tôi chỉ xem phim ở nhà. Lâu rồi chúng tôi không đi xem phim tại rạp vì chúng tôi có thể download nhiều phim từ internet. Tôi nghĩ rằng điều này rất thuận lợi vì chúng tôi không phải bỏ tiền ra mua vé xem phim. Tôi cũng thích dành thì giờ câu cá. Nếu các bạn chưa từng câu cá thì hãy thử đi. Tôi đảm bảo là các bạn sẽ rất thích. Thỉnh thoảng tôi cũng thích chơi video game với bạn của tôi. Thôi tôi xin dừng bút tại đây. Gặp lại sau nhé. Tạm biệt
