Out of the blue, someone asked me yesterday whether I had ever tried learning te reo. "As it happens, I started 22 days ago. I'm doing it right-brain style."
The same person then proceeded to tell my wife and me how she went about it. These are some points:
- Subscribes to Kupu o te Ra (1 Maori word per day online)
- Spends a lot of time on correct pronunciation
- Prefers to have a teacher
- Memorization of words
- Avoids whole sentences
- Repeats a new word aloud 7 times to 'learn' it
- Avoids material outside of the word list
This to me seems totally left-brain. What I do is more or less the opposite.
