An "AH" sound plus an "EE" sound makes AHEE or AHYEE. This is what I call VOWEL ADDING.

QUESTION WORDS:

QUESTION WORDS are words like WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, WHY HOW, HOW MUCH and HOW MANY. Learn the question words, and you sound almost fluent. (I recently added the word "WHICH" to the list).

QUESTION WORDS + "IS":

Now all you have to do is add the word "IS" to the question words and you can get around France easily. WHO IS... WHAT IS... HOW IS... (You could also learn how to say "ARE" for plural). WHO ARE...

These are Spanish Question words.

VOCABULARY:

Vocabulary!!. What I did is find a list of the top 100 used words in the language and learned those, because that will make you sound fluent. Other vocabulary you learn through interaction.

This is similar to the DOLCH LIST and is made up of mostly SIGHT WORDS.

I will post the list soon.

GESTURES

When it comes to learning  particular words, the best way to remember them is to associate them with a GESTURE. Say the word along with the gesture. The above gesture is STOP!

PANGRAMS:

PANGRAM means "EVERY LETTER." A pangram is a sentence that uses every letter of a language. I use pangrams to practice pronouncing the letters of a foreign language.

A pangram for English is: THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPS OVER THE LAZY DOG.

This is a russian pangram. First go through the sentence pronouncing only the vowels sounds. Then go back and add the consonant sounds

PSEUDOWORDS

Another way I practice saying and writing in another language is by making pseudo(false) words. These words aren't real words, just "creative" words using the letters of the language.

HURDLES:

Then you have to get over the hurdles. Basically, learn a bit of GRAMMAR. In some languages Nouns come before Adjectives. In others, Adjectives come first. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

ACT!!!:

There is one thing I forgot to mention. You have to ACT!! Try to MIMIC or IMITATE a speaker of the language. You can be a little goofy with it, but it will help you sound authentic.
