![]() I do that while riding my bike, as stated in the presentation I gave. Lessons of 1-2 pages go fast, and you can review many at the same time. Then listen and repeat each lesson around 15 times at various times. We can certainly memorize, but it helps to listen to slowed-down audio files while studying until we know all words and grammatical parts. They are also much better at memorizing sequences, and methods books are really written for them. Young people are better at deriving patterns. Does Irish conjugate verbs and nouns? then recite the conjugations in an order you use (for example I, thou, s/he, we, you, they). We can certainly learn languages in old age, but it’s important also to mind grammatical changes. I am very glad you found the materials and sent me a message. And also leave a thank you note to Eric for his hard work. ![]() Please let me know you useful you find the collection. Some files are listed as Helen Abadzi’s files. The search function is still being developed. ![]() It also has probably old the Foreign Service Institute courses as well as Defense Language Institute courses, Cortina, and many others. I have deposited texts and audio files to the website below, owned and bravely maintained by Eric Streit. ![]() Some other materials are obsolete and almost impossible to find. Some materials therefore are unique, and I would like to see them used. People helped me and read some books on tape, notably the 'Speak Malay" and Read Malay, Bangla for Foreigners, intermediate Bangla, Nepali, etc. ![]() Many therefore are slowed down from tape or are used best with the low speed available in many mp3 players. Audio files at normal speed are of limited use to learners, due to the limited working memory capacity. In my younger days these were on tape, and in recent years I have digitized them. I have a large collection of texts of the languages I have learned. Dear friends, I am a “hyperpolyglot” and retired World Bank staff age 69. ![]()
