Evidence-based learning tips for DYSLEXICS (Language learning)

[@ruin2813]

I have a Spanish class next term and I was really nervous about it because of my dyslexia, but this helped me a lot so thank so much! :)

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

I am glad it did :)

What a great video. I grew up in the 60s and of course, at that time no one knew about dyslexia or any of the learning disability issues. Not their fault, however, I thought I was dumb because of my experiences at school, in particular learning maths, I subsequently found out later in life that I have dyscalculia, that is the learning difficulty associated with maths and sequential problems. This disability also affects a persons sense of direction, especially when reading Maps, or knowing one’s right from left as in learning dance moves. I’m so very pleased that dyslexia information is more available for teachers, as well as for students, and that it’s not looked upon as a bad thing, just an inconvenient thing for one’s learning. I have been able to learn Spanish by ear, but I have not learned the “proper” grammar. I do find that the reading of books and the traditional way of learning a language is not helpful to me, so I do like the suggestions that you made in your video. I found that I could learn the multiplication tables with music. There were records that I could play when I was little that had songs associated with each multiplication table. That is the only way that I could learn the multiplication tables, although it didn’t help me with algebra! I think that someone will come along one day and create a system of learning a foreign language with music. I find it helps to learn words from foreign songs, so I do try to find songs that I like, and it makes more sense to me when I sing and associate those words with speaking. Thank you so much for the video.

The cycling vocab is smart. Building a generic vocab has some benefits, but it's better to create a specific vocabulary, based on words you actually use. So if you keep a digital journal, make a word frequency list based on the words you use. You don't need an enormous vocabulary to communicate, but you'll need the words you actually think of when you wanna say something.

I wondered if I could pick your brains about something? I am trying to learn Italian but I feel I am hitting a ceiling. All my lessons are online and I am doing at least 3 hours of learning a week, but I don’t seem to be progressing further. My tutor is great and fantastic, but I am the problem with my learning difficulty! Trying to fit in learning while in the routine of life is proving difficult as work takes up a lot of my brain power and I find myself logging off, but at the same time logging onto my lessons one minute apart! I don’t need the reading and writing element of things. Just the listening and speaking only to communicate with family and friends. When I am in Italy, family and friends usually speak dialect amongst themselves, so it would not be great to be exposed to that too much whilst I am learning, so I would need independent exposure. I have been talking to a tutor about possibly going over to Italy for a 6 day- ish period to try and pick up the language in that way, so it introduces active / situational Learning, but do you have any tips/ thoughts, advice you could provide?

I took an Italian course and I did study some basic things but would you recommend taking private lessons cause I still struggle a lot. שיהיה לך בהצלחה עם לימודי עברית 😁

[@benhuang2347]

For me it's very methodical. First I learn the grammar. Then vocab. Once I can read, I can start to listen, cus then I can focus on decoding the sounds, which is extremely difficult when I am not even sure if I know what I hear.

[@mariagargioni3269]

Thankyou for the information. In my days that word did not exist. I knew I had a problem but I felt out of place at school. I have not resolver this problem in my life, now I am 62 . Do You think their is hope yet?

Hi, first, thank you for the information. Here are some great tips and advice. I wish I had a supporting tutor while trying to learn French. Unfortunately, after the second term, I had a new tutor who did not think I should be in her class or even be on the course. I left and asked the University to refund my fees, which they did once I complained to the University and the Head of the department. Had the tutor made the time to speak to me without realising I also worked in another university; she, unfortunately, lost her job, I discovered later. I have been trying to use language apps while I use them regularly. Some days, I feel it's two steps forward and ten steps back. Any thoughts? On the launage apps available. I am at the stage where I can follow the conversation with no problem, but I focused so much that I forgot I needed to reply, and then I just freeze. Thank you again, Steve

Ya, this would have been nice for my teachers to know back in grammar school. My last exp in school, 5 years ago, a lot of teachers would smile, laugh or discount a student when they say, "i have dyslexia," "I have adhd," "I have whatever," their reply was always, "then YOU will just have to work harder." (well, duh, thanks captain obvious!) lol Honestly, I'm probably done with school and I am physically tired of working harder than everyone else and getting half the benefits. Does Hebrew have stupid grammar rules like english? Like: I before E except after C...? and there, their, they're...? lol Hey Arije, Thanks for sharing!

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

Hebrew has its quirks as well. For example, the vowels (a, e, i, o, u,) aren't written. So "that is not that easy" turns into "tht s nt tht sy". That means you have to know the word to know how to pronounce it or recognize the pattern.

[@DavidJVMusic]

@@ArijeAikedeHaas I took a semester of Hebrew in college, I do, now, remeber there were no written vowels. I completely forgot about that! And it's written right to left ... Your english is great. Your "accent," for lack of a better term, made me think you were scandinavian.

I am an adult dyslexic, so I found out last year. Now I am trying to learn words which I couldn't as a child. I am learning words in my own language and I also speak English and I am learning Spanish. In each language I have a problem to remember abstract words, synonyms and all the words I can't visualise My brain cant figure out those words. I am trying some methods and I draw a picture Do you have problems with certain words to memorize?

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

It is definitely not easy. But I noticed that it helps if I connect words I already and the new words that I want to learn. Often the sound of a new word reminds me of a word that I know already, and then I connect the two with a visualization. I try to find a mnemonic device for basically all now words. These memory tricks are often silly, but they differently work.

But if you are dyslexicyourli,e,y to be thinking about things from many angles because it's automatic moving through the blooms taxonomy.

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

In terms of learning, visual note-taking is a great way to boost memory performance for anybody willing to try. Have a look at this video in case you are interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y520qH-GeZV2mZI

Hi sir iam a mother of two kids and my second son has problem in maths Spellings And reading what can i do

[@ArijeAikedeHaas]

Getting him tested for dyslexia as well as dyscalculia would be the first step. Then he will be able to receive accommodations. Learning therapy can be very good as well…

I love learning, other languages....when I want to learn them. I hate when people overwhelm with information if what's right and wrong. Just let me learn the basics, and then I will ask you some shit or allow some corrections from native speakers when I'm ready to put it to use cuz I've learned...the basics first.... imma just invest in workbooks. Writing helps me remember things more easily.

[@amyj.4992]

Ableist be so ready to drop the lazy card, but don't take accountability for their unnecessary pressure

[@amyj.4992]

When I want to learn something my way, I am more interested in the material. Neurotypicals piss me off

Plus, I see you also have DUOLINGO

So far on math fo mulas quatratic and so on i can do square root parts..even x 's stuff. I get lost when the question is 0.78y(-7) ..the answer has be wrote in the formula with a sware root lay out and a A2 or b3 under it ..and answers say thi way or this way both in one answer. Each problem always two correct answers..
