SPANISH SOUND AND TEXT WITH KEY-PRESS
ADVANCE, INDIVIDUAL PHRASES OF SPANISH WITHOUT TRANSLATION, INDIVIDUAL PHRASES OF SPANISH WITH
TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH, AND INTERACTIVE QUESTIONS RELATING TO SPANISH SOUND AND TEXT.
THE THREE SILENT MODES OF OPERATION AVAILABLE ARE AS FOLLOWS:-
Spanish Text without Sound, Translation into English without Sound,
and Spanish Text with Translation into English without Sound.
|
TO BUILD UP YOUR SPANISH |
To begin with, the INDIVIDUAL SENTENCES WITH TRANSLATION Option
offers you the opportunity of seeing both the Spanish text and the English
text displayed simultaneously while you listen to the reading.
Use this purely to familiarise yourself with meaning of the sentences:
being read aloud. Once you are familiar with the meaning, dispense
with the simultaneous translation display, and run the program in
AUTOMATIC TEXT ADVANCE Mode.
In AUTOMATIC TEXT ADVANCE Mode, only the Spanish text will be displayed...
Listen to the Spanish carefully, many times, keeping an eye on the Spanish text
and simply trying to understand as much of the reading as you possibly can.
If there are still some sections of the Spanish which you cannot fully understand,
keep selecting the Translated Text Disply Without Sound Mode to review
the translation of the whole passage at your leisure, again and again, until you feel you
understand everything in the written text.
When you feel your understanding of the written text is complete, begin to monitor
your ability to follow the spoken Spanish. Do this by selecting the SOUND WITH
MOUSE/KEY-PRESS TEXT ADVANCE Mode.
The SOUND WITH MOUSE/KEY-PRESS TEXT ADVANCE Mode is essentially an
easy-to operate MANUAL Text Advance Mode. YOU, the user, have to advance
the text display by key-press or mouse click to keep pace with the sound. Keep
on practising this until you are easily able to advance the text manually in pace
with the reading. By the time you have reached that stage, your aural
comprehension will have reached a sufficient level for you to be able to devote
serious attention to speech practice.
Read UNIT 1 aloud yourself, phrase by phrase, along with the computerised
reading. When that too becomes easy to you, read the passage aloud in Spanish
without accompanying sound from the computer. To do this, select the Spanish
TEXT DISPLAY WITHOUT SOUND Mode.
When you can handle this with ease, check yourself out on the INTERACTIVE
QUESTIONS Routine, for UNIT 1. This will deliver a different set of questions
each time you run it. Some of the questions are designed to check your auditory
recognition and understanding of spoken Spanish, and others aim to check your
understanding of written Spanish. Keep working at the INTERACTIVE QUESTIONS
Routine until you accomplish at least two consecutive runs without errors.
When you have thoroughly mastered UNIT 1, use the mouse to select UNIT 2, and begin the whole process again with UNIT TWO, working with all the various routines from SOUND WITH AUTOMATIC TEXT ADVANCE right through to INTERACTIVE QUESTIONS - and carry on in this manner all the way to UNIT SIX. By the time, you have mastered UNIT SIX, you will have progressed quite some way into Spanish talking territory!
