KIDS' STORIES for learning English the DSP Audio way...

Requirement: Patience.

Level: All levels.

The goal is retention through DSP: Direct Sensory Perception.

This means to receive brain/organism input without transscription like reading, which requires a complex processing of visual images, which need ordering and further processing before they become usable input.

All thought.

Seeing colours, we don't compute their essence: THINK about them. We simply perceive an emotion directly: i.e., love it, hate it, pleasurable, rich, cold, warm, etc.

The sound of music, especially very early lullabies sung by mommie, also enter our audio memory directly, never to leave us until death!

So, if we can perceive language by audio alone, without thinking about meaning or grammar at the time of listening, we can hear MUCH more precisely, AND will allow our intelligent organism to do the work of uptake and retention better then by trying to direct it by our slow and indirect thought processes.

Remember, kids never knew any grammar when they learned to speak. They just heard, without analytic thought, and repeated the sounds, as modeled by mom.

Keeping the brain quiet, then, is the first task.

So, take a story section of 3 or 4 minutes, and translate all unknown words. When the meaning of all sentences is known, start listening. CD, MP 3, etc., internet sources, will do it.

Carry the player with you. It's  allowing you to listen while working, playing, cleaning, etc., as long as sound is not present.

Stay with it for several days, just repeating, until

you can tell the story section by yourself. It will be like a song: Connected sound sequences.

Then continue with the next section. Same procedure.

One big benefit is the availability of these model sentences later, while speaking! They will be present on a separate

'audio page' in your memory, so you can keep speaking while 'hearing' them...not needing to stop your speech in order to THINK about what to say...!

Hope you have the patience! The pay~off is great!
