KEY IDEAS FROM THE THIRD CHAPTER
Find yourself your first article, following the guidelines in the beginning of the chapter– keep in mind that it has to be on a subject that you are deeply interested in.
The key is to come up with a great keyword to use in the search engines. Keep in mind that the more specific the keyword is, the better. For example, use specific names (people, companies, political parties, etc.)
To make sure that the article is very closely related to your interests and that you know a lot about its subject, translate the text of the article with translate.google.com to have a good overview.
Take a part of the article and copy it to a Word file. It has to be about half an A4 sheet.
Take the translation, from Google Translate, and put it in the same Word file as well.
Now you have a word file with an interest related article and its translation. Print it.
Now open translate.google.com and type the first sentence word by word into the text box. Don´t copy it from the computer, type it with your own hands.
KEY IDEAS FROM THE THIRD CHAPTER
Click on the speaker button that appears under the text box, to hear the correct pronunciation of your sentence. And imitate it out loud. Do it many times, at least 7-10 times for each sentence.
Always underline the verbs in the sentences. If you see that the verb is an important one, which you would like to use in your daily life as well (and you already do in your mother tongue), then check what its dictionary form is and add all of its six forms in three most common tenses into your memorizing program. This applies also to words. If you see words that would be useful for you add them to the program as well and start learning them on a daily basis.
Take time and work with this same print-out for a week. Every day read the text out loud for at least 15-20 minutes and gradually move forward until you have mastered all of its sentences with the correct pronunciation
If you have any grammar questions, then always address them case-by-case, as we have discussed in this chapter.
Once you have worked on the one print-out for a whole week, choose another one and from time to time come back to the previous text to repeat it with confidence.
