236: How can I create my own study material?

236: How can I create my own study material?

Louise asks: "How can I make my own learning material?"

Episode Summary:
  • I have a long history of making my own material
  • I want to study with things that interest me
  • In Japan, I would record train announcements and ask a native speaker to transcribe them
  • I often do pieces of writing and get my tutor to correct them
  • I record my language partners giving a monologue about something and transcribe it
  • I often commission transcriptions of YouTube videos, movies or TV series
  • More recently, Conversations has been my big foray into materials creation
  • To make your own materials, ask yourself: "What would I most like to be able to understand?"
