Books

Now reading.

Someone on Warpcast recommended this to me and having started it this morning it seems very promising. Whoever recommended it I’m sorry I forgot but thank you.

I completed this book today. While I thought it was stellar in many parts and had some good tips I also felt that there were things that the author missed, particularly in light of newly emergent tools to help one with language learning.

I would like to find a book publisher to publish a book on my own method and am looking for an agent to assist with that.

What are the high points of your method? I've found AI chatbots to be very useful lately.

I wrote something on it awhile back, but as you mention ChatGPT has become a great assistant with this lately too:

Çok ilginç! İyi fikirler sana katılıyorum. Bu günlerde B2 Türkçe seviyesine bitirdikten sonra Arapça öğrenmek başladım.

Clubhouse is a great one; was super helpful with Persian, Iranians love Clubhouse and it randomly wasn’t banned there. I love ChatGPT it’s like having a full time teacher you can annoy at any hour though sometimes you have to grill them a bit on their answers.

Good guide. Ben de İkinci dil olarak Türkçe konuşurum :)

Recent things I've found useful:

Flashcards: find and prioritize the most frequent verbs and vocabulary.

Chatbots: Ask ChatGPT to roleplay conversations. Really useful because you can roll back and stop in the middle to ask questions. 

Netflix: Once you get to TV level proficiency, change your language and watch with (non-English) subtitles on.

Audio spaces: Really good for colloquial conversational speech, unlike stuff like TV news broadcasts. I used to hang out and listen in on Turkish Clubhouse rooms.
