Lesson Plans

Sometime in the near future lesson plans should start being posted here (or another site, as I’m not sure if we will be using this site for everything).

There are a few more people who have said they are willing to help out for private tutoring via Skype. All in different time zones around the world, which is good for anyone who sees this and wants to take advantage of such an offer.

That’s all for now, just be on the lookout for lessons going to be posted here!

An idea that needs more brewing

This site was meant to be a platform on which I could launch a more serious tutoring service. However, I think I need more time to develop the idea more, and I will be using this blog to develop the idea. I am more often on the learning side of learning, however I have spent my share of the time teaching too.

The ideas that this tutoring idea will be surfaced on are there:

  • Learning in (and from) context
  • Learning to improvise (and fail at forming proper sentences)
  • Learning to have the confidence to improve (and to actually feel like skills are actually improving)

I’ll post lessons here and still provide Skype lessons to all who might need them, but I think I need to put this down a step in seriousness. More of a hobby than anything for now.

Wordless Beginning

Language acquisition always involves memorization. However, if the learner can use their limited vocabulary already acquired, then vocabulary can begin to naturally grow through organic conversations. The alternative to this is root memorization until the end of time.

Wordless aims to develop the confidence and skill sets necessary to hold and a conversation and build vocabularies in a way that makes the experience of learning active rather than passive.

This site will provide lessons with examples and private Skype sessions to help develop this skills in order to improve one's language skills.

For now, this site will focus on English.

Keep your eyes out for new lessons and any interested parties should contact me for more information.
