Topic: Tips for Language Learning

Speaker: David & Sharon

How can you learn a new language that does not have a written form? How would you plan a language learning programme for yourself? Bible translators often face these issues, especially when working with an unreached people group.

In this workshop*, you will be introduced to:

• the nature of language and language learning principles
• basic phonetics and the International Phonetic Alphabet
• a variety of language learning techniques
• how to work with a language helper (native speaker)
• some software apps/programs for language learning

*limited slots available; you will be put on the waitlist once the limit is hit
