Words form the building blocks of our thought processes. Because of
this, our choice of wording can be vital to our ways of thinking.
Building on this concept, Dr. Prudent Injeeli's Mind Your Words:
Master the Art of Learning and Teaching Vocabulary presents
groundbreaking work in the study of language and linguistics,
particularly in the field of semantics. It offers a wide variety
techniques and methods of learning and teaching vocabulary and
provides essential information on many aspects of word knowledge,
word formation and word usage. Injeeli addresses a number of topics
that open a new world of knowledge about words, their origin, their
structure and pronunciation, and so on. He also includes vocabulary
lists developed by prominent linguists for enhancing vocabulary
skills. Mind Your Words: Master the Art of Learning and Teaching
Vocabulary shares insight into the morphological and semantic
aspects of word knowledge that can help anyone understand the
concepts involved in the language arts. You can gain knowledge
about language and improve the skills needed to share that
knowledge with others.
'The thrill is that you're actually figuring it out on your own.
You're engaging with another language, not just parroting it...
It's an excellent way to start, and leaves the listener thinking,
Hey, Ich kann do dis.' - New Yorker, David Sedaris, humorist and
author, on learning German with the Michel Thomas Method Looking
for a convenient language course that fits your lifestyle and gets
you speaking a new language in a matter of weeks, not years? The
original no-books, no-homework, no-memorizing method is in tune
with the way the brain prefers to receive, store and retrieve
information. You'll stick with it because you'll love it. * Improve
your Egyptian Arabic naturally and unforgettably without strain or
stress * Learn from listening and speaking, without the pressure of
writing or memorizing * Build up your Egyptian Arabic in manageable
steps by thinking out answers for yourself WHY IS THE METHOD SO
SUCCESSFUL? 'What you understand, you know; and what you know, you
don't forget.' - Michel Thomas Before there was machine learning,
there was Michel Thomas. For over 50 years he worked on decoding
languages by breaking them down into their most essential component
parts. These 'building blocks' are introduced to the learner
sequentially in such a way that you reconstruct the language for
yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when
you want. This unique method draws on the principles of
instructional psychology and works with the way your brain prefers
to receive, store and retrieve information. Knowledge is structured
and organized so that you absorb the language easily and don't
forget it. The method is designed to eliminate the stress which
prevents you from relaxing and allowing the brain to work in the
way which accepts learning in a seemingly painless, very exciting
and highly motivating way. HOW DO THE COURSES WORK? 'All stress
inhibits true and effective learning' - Michel Thomas During the
course, you will join Michel Thomas Method teachers Jane Wightwick
and Mahmoud Gaafar and two students in a live lesson, learning from
both their successes and their mistakes to keep you motivated and
involved throughout the course. You, as the learner, become the
third student and participate actively in the class. Within the
very first hour you will be able to construct complex phrases by
listening and thinking out answers for yourself without the
pressure of writing or stress of having to memorize. You will learn
at your own pace, pausing and repeating where necessary, and
complete the course in about 15-20 hours. By the end of the course,
you will have a solid working knowledge of Egyptian Arabic and be
able to express yourself confidently in a variety of situations.
WHAT WILL I ACTUALLY ACHIEVE? 'I am the architect who builds the
house. It's up to you to decorate it.' - Michel Thomas The Michel
Thomas Method will help you kick-start, continue, and flourish in
your language learning journey. The Intermediate course will give
you a full understanding of all the verb tenses and help you to
speak more fluidly, with proper pronunciation, faster than most any
other method. Along with the Foundation course, it is designed to
give you a strong foundation and good working knowledge of a
language from which you can expand and later 'add decoration' to.
It is a rapid method for learning, but still requires effort and
concentration on the part of the learner. WHAT'S NEW IN THIS NEW
EDITION? This new edition includes an audio review course to let
you quickly revise and consolidate your learning once you've
completed the full course. WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE COURSE?*
Intermediate Egyptian Arabic includes four audio Course CDs and one
audio Review CD to continue and consolidate your knowledge. The
booklet is available to download from www.michelthomas.com. *Note
that the course content is the same as the previously entitled
Perfect Arabic course, but the CD-ROM has been replaced with audio
review CDs. LEARN ANYWHERE! Reclaim your pockets of free time to
learn a new language! Don't be tied to chunky books or your
computer, Michel Thomas Method audio courses let you learn whenever
and wherever you want, in as little or as much time as you have.
