Podcast 11

Podcast 11 covers a little bit more of transitive animate verbs (conjunct for 1/2 > 3 direct and 3 > 4 direct) and dives into a little bit of "Clue". I think it gives a lot of information, so I'm probably going to plan podcast 12 a bit more and do another game of "Clue" with a few new words. In some ways, I think another couple dozen lessons and there'd be enough info to start learning from other sources or from a speaker - just the next lessons are going to be building slower for a while as there's a lot of info that needs to be solidified before I can move on a lot.

Lesson 11

There it is - enjoy!

A little bit more...

Here's three more lessons. Lessons 8 and 9 go over some vocabulary and a few fairly straightforward concepts. The recording is better, but it's a little less structured. Lesson 10 introduces transitive animate verbs and a couple ways of making them from transitive inanimate ones. Clearly fascinating! At least to me. I'll limit myself to making two tomorrow so as not to take too much time from homework.

Time to learn!

So, this afternoon after teaching two classes I decided that the time had come to just start making some podcasts - Michif audio lessons. However, rather than spending five hours designing each lesson, two hours recording, and another four hours editing, I decided to just wing it, do shorter lessons, make them a little more compact, and prep them on the fly. I'm happy to report it's working good so far, so here's the first seven lessons! I'm expecting plenty of questions about them, so feel free to ask away.

The lessons are sequential, and are slowly working through a scope and sequence that I developed some time ago with a more ambitious plan in mind, but I've decided that if I don't do it now it might be years before I ever get the time or resources to do it professionally, so I'm just diving right in.

For those of you who are wondering, I'm not a native speaker, though I am fairly fluent. I know the grammar quite well, which is what I'm focusing on outlining here for you.

With that in mind - here we go:

Lesson 1
Lesson 2
Lesson 3

Lesson 4

Lesson 5

Lesson 6
Lesson 7

More lessons to follow - and slightly better quality probably!
