How to use Bosscandle

Learn a foreign language by concentrating on the most important words for you personally. The magic is, the more language you learn, the faster you learn, so start with the stuff you personally use daily.

  1. Write down every sentence you often use in your native, daily language.
  2. Write down every sentence you need to learn.
  3. Above each sentence, write every new word in that sentence, each on a separate line.
    	  name
    	  my
    	  my name is joe jones.
    	  what
    	  word
    	  for
    	  this
    	  What is the word for this?
    	  less
    	  spicy
    	  you
    	  have
    	  do you have less spicy?
    	  where
    	  train
    	  is
    	  station
    	  where is train station
    	  when
    	  lunch
    	  when is lunch
    	  come?
    	  when does the train come?
    	  who
    	  that
    	  who is that?
    	  what is this?
    	  ... (hundreds more)
    		
  4. Put the list into the Bosscandle "Language List"
  5. Create the mp4 file
  6. As often as possible listen to the file.
  7. Better still, repeat out loud the words and sentences.
  8. Even better watch the video also to learn to read.
  9. Add new sentences and words as you need at the beginning of the list.

Notes:

  1. Single words often have multiple meanings. You may need to put new words into a small phrase to establish context. For example, the English word "get" has many meanings that need context to narrow down.
  2. The entire sentence may be enough to provide that context
  3. It can take quite a while to create MP4. Do not leave the page until the process is complete.
