Training Step２: Dictation: use the C sound files (and pausing) to write out each sentence (in script or IPA or your choice). Use the book to check your answers. Training Step３: Recording: record the sentences as best you can. We recommend recording the same sentences over a 3-day period, and staggering them with new ones. Training Step４: Use the B sound files to train your interpretation skills. Say your translation in the space provided. Reminder Don't forget that if you run into problems, just skip over it! Keep working through the sentences all the way to the end and don't worry about the ones you don't get. You'll probably get it right the second time round. Remember, one practice session separated by *one* sleep session yields the best results! 2 ENTR GGlloossssiikkaa MMaassss SSeenntteenncceess TTuurrkkiisshh FFlluueennccyy 22 CCoommpplleettee FFlluueennccyy CCoouurrssee MMiicchhaaeell CCaammppbbeellll DDaavvuutt DDeeggeerr Glossika ENTR 3 GGlloossssiikkaa MMaassss SSeenntteennccee MMeetthhoodd TTuurrkkiisshh FFlluueennccyy 22 This edition published: JAN 2016 via license by Nolsen Bédon, Ltd.

Follow the text as you listen to the GMS-A files (in 'GLOSSIKA-XX-GMS-A'). Listen to as many sentences as you can, and keep going even when you miss a sentence or two. Try to focus on the sounds and matching them to the text. 2. Listen (GMS-A). Try to repeat the target sentence with the speaker the second time you hear it. 3. Write (GMS-C). Write down the sentences as quickly as you can, but hit pause when you need to. Check your answers against the text. 4. Record (GMS-C). Listen to each sentence and record it yourself. Record from what you hear, not from reading the text. You can use your mobile phone or computer to do the recording. Play it back, and try to find the differences between the original and your recording. 5. Interpret (GMS-B). Try to recall the target sentence in the gap after you hear it in English. Try to say it out loud, and pause if necessary. ENTR 7 GGlloossssiikkaa MMaassss SSeenntteennccee MMeetthhoodd TTuurrkkiisshh FFlluueennccyy 22 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 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. 8 ENTR WWhhaatt iiss GGlloossssiikkaa?? From the creation of various linguists and polyglots headed by Michael Campbell, Glossika is a comprehensive and effective system that delivers speaking and listening training to fluency. It’s wise to use Glossika training materials together with your other study materials. Don’t bet everything on Glossika. Always use as many materials as you can get your hands on and do something from all of those materials daily. These are the methods used by some of the world’s greatest polyglots and only ensures your success. If you follow all the guidelines in our method you can also become proficiently literate as well. But remember it’s easier to become literate in a language that you can already speak than one that you can’t. Most people will feel that since we only focus on speaking and listening, that the Glossika method is too tough. It’s possible to finish one of our modules in one month, in fact this is the speed at which we’ve been training our students for years: 2 hours weekly for 4 weeks is all you need to complete one module. Our students are expected to do at least a half hour on their own every day through listening, dictation, and recording. If you follow the method, you will have completed 10,000 sentence repetitions by the end of the month. This is sufficient enough to start to feel your fluency come out, but you still have a long way to go. This training model seems to fit well with students in East Asia learning tough languages like English, because they are driven by the fact that they need a better job or have some pressing issue to use their English. This drive makes them want to succeed. Non-East Asian users of the Glossika Mass Sentence (GMS) methods are split in two groups: those who reap enormous benefit by completing the course, and others who give up because it’s too tough to stick to the schedule. If you feel like our training is too overwhelming or demands too much of your time, then I suggest you get your hands on our Glossika Spaced Repetition (GSR) audio files which are designed for people like you. So if you’re ambitious, use GMS. If you’re too busy or can’t stick to a schedule, use GSR. ENTR 9 GGlloossssiikkaa LLeevveellss The first goal we have in mind for you is Fluency. Our definition of fluency is simple and easy to attain: speaking full sentences in one breath. Once you achieve fluency, then we work with you on expanding your expression and vocabulary to all areas of language competency. Our three levels correlate to the European standard: • Introduction = A Levels • Fluency = B Levels • Expression = C Levels The majority of foreign language learners are satisfied at a B Level and a few continue on. But the level at which you want to speak a foreign language is your choice. There is no requirement to continue to the highest level, and most people never do as a B Level becomes their comfort zone.
