Most languages are less forgiving, and so we need a way of covering common spellings in a systematic fashion, without getting so bogged down in intricate rules that they become difficult to remember, boring, or both. (The only sound with two spellings is : jegy (ticket) and belyeg (twine) both have ). With one slight exception, if you can hear it, you can write it down, and vice versa. This was much simpler in Hungarian, because Hungarian is a wonderfully phonetic language. Here’s where we break down the various spellings for each sound in the language. (Final final step would be to really understand the IPA and its relationship to your mouth, so you can figure out what you’re doing wrong physically, but you’ve already won much of the battle if you can hear what’s going on) Part 2: Spelling cards Now that your ears can hear the difference, I suspect you’ll be able to self-diagnose many issues when you listen to a recording of yourself. If you still have difficulty producing it, use Anki 2’s voice recording features (Press Shift-V or click in the bottom right on the Desktop version of Anki) to record your own voice, and compare it to the recording. Once you can hear the contrast between the two words, I’d suggest that you repeat after the recordings out loud, so you can practice producing it. The first chunk of this deck uses minimal pair contrasts (su-sous-si, huis-oui, etc.) to enable you to hear new sounds: Minimal pair cards (plays one of two similar recordings, asks what you heard, then plays back both recordings so you can hear the contrast): My goal is to bring this pill to as many languages as possible over the next year, and I’m busy making native-speaker recordings for that purpose right now. It’s basically a magic, brain-rewiring pill, and no one seems to be using it, except for Chinese tones. There was no difference in their ears between the two sounds a serious obstacle to language learning.īut when these adults took tests with immediate feedback (Test: Which word is this: Rock or Lock? Adult: “Rock” Test: “WRONG! Lock.”, and so on.), then these adults picked up the ability to hear the distinction within 3 20-minute sessions. The contrast didn’t show up on brain scans. At first, the adults literally couldn’t hear it. I keep harping on this research on Japanese adults learning the L-R, “Lock”/”Rock” contrast in English because it’s the best tool I’ve seen so far.īasically, they quizzed Japanese adults, asking them whether they heard “rock” or “lock” when a recording was played.

If you like it, I’d encourage you to use the custom models and scheduling used in the deck for your own studies. You’ll learn a little French and get a sense for what I mean here.

To get a feel for how it works, just download the deck and try it for a few days. In this post, we’ll go through each part in detail. My goal in creating it is to break a sound system into its constituent parts so that you can master each part individually. These 3 parts work together to cement and automatize your understanding of a new sound system, and give you some vocab while you’re at it. Today, I made a 44-card sample deck for French, which you’re welcome to download and use as a model here. I’ve been fielding questions about my methods for Hungarian and how they might work for a less phonetic language like French, with multiple ways of spelling a single sound.
