What are the key steps to learn a foreign language for dyslexics?

Okay so this episode is a little different. Kind of giving you my personal perspective regarding a new language. And learning a new language.

So what are some of the key steps were key components better part of the learning process when trying to decode or learn or immerse yourself in a language.

In this episode one of the things I discuss is that immersion for somebody like me who is an auditory learner is crucial. To learn a word and hear the word, and then see how that word we're here have that word is applied in context makes all the difference when it comes to my learning.

I've always been a big fan of learning in context.

A funny thing happened when I was doing an IEP assessment or reassessment must have been third grade or something like that. When is part of the assessment that I had always remember sitting in front of about 5 people and somewhere taking notes somewhere asking questions somewhere just observing me different professionals from my school and outside of the school. and I remembered a ask me a series of facts information and words to see what kind of knowledge base I had. and I'll never forget that I think their jaws literally dropped when they asked me the word Zeppelin and I was able to tell them without batting an eyelash oh, yeah that's basically a hot air balloon.( Now of course everybody considers themselves to be smart, but for me that was somewhat of a no-brainer because that's the way that I heard the word being used in a series of books that I read call Babar. they often referred to the hot air balloon as a Zeppelin. That was just my application I'm learning in context.)

so when it comes to learning a new learning a foreign language, from my perspective for some individuals who have dyslexia and have a specific challenge decoding letters into words to create a word, hearing a word in that foreign language being used over and over. Experiencing how that word is used in context. Helps an auditory learner such as myself take that sound, give it a meaning, thereby having a place or that word as it's used in that foreign language.

As I mentioned I like to challenge myself. and this year I am focused on trying to learn an ancient foreign language called Aramaic. and although I am trying to hear that language being used, and listening to that language being used. It's not the type of of language that I'm going to hear in use at the grocery store or for that matter most anywhere around the world. that disadvantage does limit my immersion of this language. But besides for some personal reasons, that's one of the reasons I'm excited to undertake this challenge of learning this far language oh, because the effort here is going to need to be greater from my side, my actions, my active education in order to progress.
