Listening Comprehension Questions - Le Mauril

- čas přidán 8. 03. 2020
- Comprehension questions aren’t helpful to language learners, but many teachers think these can determine learners’ levels. To me they are just another useless test.
Input, pleasurable input, listening & reading, using content that we choose and enjoy, these are the fastest way to improve in a language. Being asked questions to prove our understanding of what we read and listen to adds nothing.

From the title, I thought this would be in French. I’m glad I decided to watch. Sage advice. Take care, Mr. Kaufmann.
“Nothing destroys the enjoyment of reading and listening more than being tested.” Learning with no stress is the best. I’ve finished twice as many books this past 6 months than I did all through college with this philosophy.
My niece will graduate high school in 2 months. She has been taking Spanish for 4 years and has all As but can't carry on even a simple conversation. The same with my father and I. At what point will they realize there needs to be a major change in language teaching?
Same sad story in UK also.
The needed change is abolishing it. But "muh GDP" / taxpayer shekels etc
Steve, I love the way you deal with this learning stuff... It's obvious you've already learned a lot and you really know what you're talking about. Thank you for sharing all your thoughts, they are pricess for people who acquire languages on their own.
Thanks for quoting Ruben Alves, I really admire him as a Brazilian
Thank you for being a caring human being. Most people run around like oh it's just another flue I don't care, not even thinking about those at risk, thinking about the already 4000 people or more that didn't have to die.
Hi Steve. Greeting from the Philippines. The podcast "Unlimited Spanish with Oscar" uses circling to teach Spanish and has greatly helped me acquire vocabulary.
Uma referência muito adequada ao mestre Ruben Alves!
I'm from nothern Italy, the governament just declared a full lockdown, might as well spend time at home reading and listening in german then
Get with LingQ and tell your friends about it. Maybe we should have a special offer for our Italian shut in friends.
thanks
Hi Steve;
I'm strongly agree with your ideas about this mothed "le Mauril" and your criticisms about it.
Circling... I'm working on it (for LingQ 😉)
The thing with this virus is that it is new and that makes it very easy to spread as no one has any immunity for it yet. Even people with mild symptoms can spread it, and when the doctors get infected in hospitals, they in turn infect all the vulnerable patients... The best thing we can do at this point is to avoid large gatherings and to wash our hands properly to slow the spread, so there is time to finish trials on which medication is effective and eventually get vaccines ready. I do not think that healthy people need to worry about the disease, but not everyone is healthy. Best to get your shopping done online if possible and use this opportunity to learn languages safely at home:)
Oh and I love Harry Potter for language learning. It is not very good for beginners, but at the intermediate level, especially in program such as LingQ, it is a perfect resource to learn a language. I am also more and more convinced that watching TV series in the original language and with subtitles in the language you understand can be beneficial even for beginners to develop some familiarity with the language and get used to the most frequent words and especially the pronunciation and the flow of the language. Having all the programming in TV in one language only is from my experience rather harmful for the language development, especially since people are not even motivated to learn another language as all the content is in the language they already know so why bother? Finding interesting content in different language is what can motivate people, at least that worked for me.
You have to pronounce the "L" in Nombril in French
Nope, it can be pronounced with or without: bdl.oqlf.gouv.qc.ca/bdl/gabarit_bdl.asp?id=3531
I don't know for canadian French, but I'm French from Paris and we definitely pronounce the L in nombril, and every L in French is pronounced
Je suis d'accord pour nombril, on prononce le L. Par contre, il y a en français des "L" muets comme "fils" non pas le pluriel de "fil" mais comme "mon fils, ma fille".
gentil Cyrus, french.stackexchange.com/questions/7516/prononciation-du-mot-persil
outil.
Every L is pronounced in French? Merci, vous êtes gentil... Oh! Qu'est-ce qui se passe, là?!
I think I've heard indeed some people not pronouncing the L in Persil, and in nombril, but it sounds strange because most of the time people pronounce the L, in France.
Sorry, I can't listen to no sound.

I still don’t see the point of reading a children’s book on magic such as Harry Potter to learn English.
You have to search several dictionaries specific to the film to understand it. 10 dictionaries
plants and potions
the most important proper names and common names,
from the French universe of Harry Potter.
magic items, food and practices, potions, spells, and administration
magical creatures (which are neither animals, nor humans, nor ghosts
and so forth
Vocabulary that serves no purpose in everyday life.
As far as I'm concerned,
I read digital books for adults.
expect this vocabulary to help me converse with natives of real life subjects.
magic, fiction, potions, witches and nightmare creatures
will bring me nothing to speak good english for example.
Out of curiosity I watched episodes of Harry Potter on TV.
I did not understand much.
This film has everything it takes to upset children's brains and make them lose all sense of reality.
like coherent things and I think it should not be astonished to see so many disturbed spirits around us by dint of reading nonsense.
An adult contact told me to be friends with me if I liked Harry Potter.
"The first one who disrespects Harry Potter will have to deal with me,"
he said.
Thank you for reading.
I agree with you. But many people do read it. Not my taste. My preference is always books on history and political podcasts. We don't all like the same things.
You'd be suprised but the whole magic and potion stuff is pretty much a small portion of the vocab, a lot of the book is setting the scene where the character takes place and dialouges displaying certain emotions and conflict.
