Citation preview

INTENSIVE METHOD (GMS Files) A Files: Source language (cue) - Target language 2x B Files: Source language (cue) - space to translate - Target language C Files: Target language only 1x



Typical Day's Routine (If it's your first day, you skip the review steps.) 1. Review the recordings you made yesterday. Anything you want to improve? 2. Before starting today's new recordings of the new sentences from the last four days, first listen to the GMS C files to find any pronunciations you want to improve. 3. Now record the sentences from the last four days as review. 4. Now listen to the B files for the oldest review sentences (interpretation training). Try to translate each sentence without using your text in the space provided. If you fail, don't give up. Mass practice is better than perfect practice. Don't let one or two sentences keep you from progressing. 5. If you feel tired or burned out, then there's no need to do new sentences today.



(If it's your first day, you can start here.) 6. Prepare 10-50 new sentences, depending on your time limit and what you're comfortable with. Look them over in the book, then listen to the accompanying GMS A File. 7. Now use either the A files or C files to write down your new sentences. Try to do this without looking at the book. If you're learning a new script, make sure you can do this in IPA or phonetics before trying to master a new script so you don't miss any sounds. 8. Listen to the sentences one more time, then record them yourself. Come back tomorrow and check your recordings. 9. For added benefit, use the accompanying GSR files.



If you're actively recording 200-400 sentences per day, you should reach conversational fluency in about 100-200 days depending on the person.



RELAXED METHOD (GSR Files) All repetitions and review are self-contained. This is for people who do not have time to use a book, do dictation, or do recordings. For best results, try to repeat as much as you can. Don't worry if you miss a sentence. Repeat it when you start to feel comfortable with how it sounds. Always have at least one deep sleep between each session, and no more than 2 sleep session between each recording. If you haven't listened in a few days, back up a few lessons and start again.



Sample Routine Day 1: Listen to GSR File called Day 1 Day 20: Listen to GSR File called Day 20... etc.



Glossika Mass Sentence Method Thai Fluency 1 This GMS Fluency Series accompanies the GMS recordings and is a supplementary course assisting you on your path to fluency. This course fills in the fluency training that is lacking from other courses. Instead of advancing in the language via grammar, GMS builds up sentences and lets students advance via the full range of expression required to function in the target language. GMS recordings (sold separately) prepare the student through translation and interpretation to become proficient in speaking and listening. Glossika Spaced Repetition (GSR) recordings are strongly recommended for those who have trouble remembering the content. Through the hundred days of GSR training, all the text in each of our GMS publications can be mastered with ease.

Brett has spent the past decade living in Thailand and learning as many languages as possible. He currently designs tools for learning Thai and other languages. Among them are a web course for mastering the Thai alphabet including its somewhat complex tone rule system and mobile apps for both android and iOS. For those who want to become fluent in Thai, Brett says “Put in the time to learn the alphabet and tone rules of Thai. Knowing the alphabet means you’ll never struggle with the sounds, you’ll know how to say everything correctly and Thai people will just plain love you. You can learn it all in a week or two and master it in a month. Why wouldn't you?” Check out his web course at learnthaifromawhiteguy.com and his apps can be found on Google Play and Itunes.
