AUTO INGLS*
Felicidades por la adquisicin del curso AI-llfO INGLSEste curso ha sido diseado para personas que desean robarle tiempo aI tiempo, que desem utilizat cada momento libre para aprender ingls. Ya no es necesario hacer ejercicios escritos ni disponer de bloques largos de tiempo. Es Ud. quien controla la g:rabacin-la detiege o Ie da retroceso cuantas veces quiera. Y cuando quiera escuchar los amenos dilogos. Cuando quiera escuchar las instructivas explicacrones en espaol. Y cuando quiera, podr abrir el libro para seguir todo lo dicho en la grabacin o pra contestar la preguntas de comprensin. ALIIO INGLSlo conduce de un nivel inicial a m nivel avanzado en solamente quince leccione. La adquisicin de un lenguaje se asemeja'a un carrino que nmca debe tdminar, como no debe terminar nuestra bsqueda de mayores conocimientos. ATITO INGLSes un cuso para autodidactas. Esto quiere decir que Ud. podr utilizarlo sin la intervencin de un maestro. ATIIO INGLSque le habla en espaol le proporciona un T\tor en las grabaciones dndole indicaciones sobre lo que debe repetir para mejorar su pronunciacin o para que pueda entender Ia gramtica que Ud. necesita para aprender la leccin. Con este cuso Ud. podr aumentar su fluidez en ingls considerablemente. Esto lo va a lograr debido a la metodologa que sigue el curso: Veamos: I. En la primera seccin se le presentan aquellas expresiones y palabras que son cldv para que pueda entender el dilogo. II. En la segunda seccin se le presenta la gramtica que debe aprender y que est ligada estrechamente al diIogo. Aprender esta grarntica de forma amena. III. En la tercera seccin se presenta el diIogo, en el cual dos norteamericanos-un hombre y una mujer-hablm de temas cotidianos de la vida en EE.UU. IV. En la cuarta seccin su T\tor lo toma de la mano con explicaciones adicionales y con traducciones del dilogo para que Ud. no se quede sin saber TODO Io que ha acontecido en el dilogo. V. La quinta seccin se halla en el libro que acompaa las grabaciones. En este libro se presenta TODO lo que se ha dicho en las grabaciones ms esta quinta seccin de preguntas de comprensin para que Ud. pueda verificar que ha entendido cada leccin.

_-----

Es vital que Ud. comprenda que debe avazar y retroceder entre los tres niveles de lecciones, a saber: Inicial 1-5; Intermedio 6-10; Avmzado 11-15. Cada vez que vuelva a participar en Ias lecciones va a sacmles algo nuevo. Debe utilizar el curso por unos tres meses de uso intensivo pra poder llevar su rendimiento o aprovechamiento al mirmo. Luego, cuando pasen otros tres meses, regrese al curso por otro mes ms y ver lo mucho que aprendi y que algo ms Ie puede sacar al curso todava con un buen repasoEntonees, deje que otros miembros de la famiiia se valgan de su inversin para que tambin ellos puedan mejorar considerablemente ingls. Aunque es INGLSUd. puede: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. cierto que Ud. no tiene un maestro en persona AIJ"TO le ofrece varias ventajas sobre el maestro en ma escuela. estudiar a su propio ritmo. estudiar cuando quiera o pueda. repetir las palabras, frases y oraciones cuantas veces quiera. regresar a las explicaciones que han sido grabadas. constatar lo que le &ice eI Tbtor leyndolo a ia vez en el libro.

Y Ud. no tiene que: 1. escribir ni hacer ejercicios. EI curso es totalmente auditivo. Solamente cuando Ud. desee tomar algula nota por su cuenta lo va a poder hacer llevando una libreta donde anotar y repasar. 2. tomar exmenes para saber si debe seguir adelante. Ud. mismo va a regresar al principio del curso cuando llegue al final para seguir repitiendo y aprendiendo las cosas que en un principio Ie parecieron muy difciles, pero que con el paso tiempo, y con el repaso van cayendo en su lugar, en este rompecabezas de iniciarse en una nueva lengua. O sea, que la utilidad del curso se basa en que por eI precio de su costo Ud. tiene en su automvil, autobs, tren, casa o trabajo hoas de plticas entre dos nativos norteamericanos que Ie hablan sin cansar para que Ud. pueda lograr la pronunciacin correcta y un T\rtor bilinge que tampoco se cnsa de explicarle las construcciones y sigrrifrcados que son clave para su total comprensin. La adquisicin de una nueva lengua cuando uno es adulto tiene sus partes amenas y sus partes trabajosas. Los diIogos humorsticos son la parte amena, pero para poder entender y aprovechar los dilogos tenemos que prepararnos ensayando las frases que vamos a or y luego repetir en ingls. Y esto solamente lo podemos hacer yendo una por una sobre cada frase o cada palabra bajo estudio hasta que sepamos pronunciarla bien y sepamos su signficado.

No es cierto que un adulto pueda llegar a adquirir otro idioma igual que lo hizo con su lengua natal. Ya se ha perdido la capacidad lingistica con que nacimos. El adulto requiere saber Io que est aprendiendo y es ah donde entra la gtamtica, que son las reglas que todo idioma sigue. Es por eso que antes de disfrutar de cada diIogo Ud. deber estudiar la gramtica que siroe de armazn aI dilogo. Por suerte, su estudio grmatical ser aplicado de inmediato en el dilogo, o sea, que no es rn estudio rido que no se sabe cundo Io va a poder aplicar.

SECI,]ENCIA ESPIRAL

DE I.A ENSEANZA

El vocabulario y las estructuras verbales y gramaticales que se presentan antes del diIogo se van a volver a ver en las leccLones siguientes. O sea, que vocablo que aprenda en la leccin 1 le va a serwi? en la leccin 2 o en la leccin 3. Lo mismo con los verbos. Una vez que sepa conjugar el verbo to be, que significa ser o estar, Io usar como verbo auxiliar o como gerundio ms adelante. Y cuando sepa usar el verbo to have, que quiere decir haber o tene4 enseguida lo usar como verbo auiliar para decir he sido y he tenido en ingls, o sea, que enseguida se refuerza lo aprendido de forma que se frje en la mente y no se olvide. Lo ltimo que Ud. necesita despusde largas horas de trabajo es estudiar algo que se Ie va a olvidar o que no es necesario.Por eso,el vocabulario, Ios verbos y las estructuras gramaticales son de uso frecuente y se aplica una y otra yez para garantizarle que "puede meter en el banco" todo conocimiento adquirido pues no 1ova a perder ni a

Siguiendo el patrn extremadamene prctico del curso, se le recomienda que aprenda a decir Io antes posible I want = yo quicro o I need = yo necesito. Aqu s le robamos una pgina a la forma en que aprenden los nios. Los bebs comunican sus necesidades. Aprender a hablar para que les hagan caso. El que sabe pedir en ingls, aunque sea con seas puede comunicar lo que necesita o desea. Siempre el tendero y el cliente se entienden, pues media una transaccin de inters para ambos.

Otro aspecto prctico es el verbo to get = obtener, qte se usa muchsimo en ingls y en maneras que no nos podemos imaginar los hispanohablantes. Get going = Dale, ndale, camina, umono.s. (Iiteral es obtn andando) Do you get it? = Te diste cuenta? Oteralmere Lo obtuuste?) I got it. = Lo entiend.o. (literalmente Lo tengo.)

Y regresando a to get, ahora en gerundio, getting. IIow are you getting th ere? = Cmo uas t a llegar hasta aII?

El que sepa to be, to have, to get, to go y el uso de los gerundios ya tiene tres cuartas partes de la batalla ganada. Y si sabe pedir cosas, hacer preguntas y hacer trmsacciones, pues ya puede ver el lector Ia utilidad que conlleva un curso diseado en espiral, donde todo se cicla y se recicla y los conocimientos aumentan como cuando nos queremos estacionar en el piso ms alto de un garaje y vamos subiendo de nivel, progresivamente, gracias a las rampas de acceso. Esto es lo que Ie garantiza este curso, que siempre tendr Ud. una rampa para seguir subiendo o para regresar a un nivel inferior donde pueda repasar los conocimientos que dej "aparcados" en ese nivel. Otro ejemplo del mtodo espiral es el aprendizaje de los nmeros. A medida que avanzan 1as lecciones se van introduciendo los nmeros en orden ascendente, de manera que no es necesario aprenderlos de memoria, por el contrario, se aprenden en el contexto de una situacin cotidiana y, acto seguido, se repasan y refuerzan en lecciones ulteriores.

Lleve consigo una libretita donde anotar dudas. Todos conocemos personas que hablan ingls y espaol. Use a esas personas como tutores gratuitos. Lo ms importante a la hora de aprender no es saber la respuesta sino qu pregultas hacer. Tenga a mano siempre un diccionario bilinge de bolsillo. Cada vez que tenga m momento libre busque esa palabra que hace das est pensando buscar. Tbnga en casa un diccionario bilinge mayor al lado de la cama, otro en Ia sala, y otro en la cocina. O sea, un diccionario bilinge siempre cerca de Ud. para que la pereza no le gane y pueda hacer sus consultas al momento. Tenga en casa m diccionario solo en ingls, eI ms caro y mejor ilustrado que su presupuesto le permita. Establezca trato con personas que solamente hablen ingts. Intente comunicarse con seas, sonrisas, gestos, recuerde que los turistas siempre se comuican con los tenderos, porque hay una transaccin de beneficio nutuo entre los dos. Todos queremos tener amigos y con la amistad viene el ingls. Compre revistas de cmics. La relacin entre eI idioma coloquial y los dibujos resulta un excelente medio para entender los dilogos y para conocer la cultura y los dichos de la vida aria. Sintonice estaciones de televisin en ingls y, si su televisor lo pemite, ponga los subttulos en espaol y, otras veces, en ingls. Es bueno leer en ingls Io que se est diciendo, pero cuando eI dilogo es muy difcil entonces es mejor tenerlo en espaol. Compre CDs de canciones en ingls, o vaya a Ia biblioteca pblica donde los prestan. La msica es una manera excelente de aprender idiomas porque se nos fijan las cosas con ms facilidad. Asegrirese de tener la letra de las canciones para que las pueda seguir siempre con sus diccionarios cerca. Escriba la letra de sus canciones favoritas en su Cancionero particular y aprenda a cantar esas canciones. El Intemet es una buena fuente. Posea una Biblia en ingls y otra en espaol. Como los libros y los versculos estn numerados, le va a resultar fcil hallar Io mismo en eI otro idioma para comparar y aprender. La cultura occidental se basa en la Biblia y tanto el ingls como el espaol tienen mltiples dichos que provienen de hechos bblicos.

10. Asista a la iglesia en ingls. Los sermones hablan sobre temas religiosos conocidosy de la vida diaria. El ministro habla pausadamente y con sus gestos a)'uda a que Ud. capte el contexto, 11. Y hablando de iglesias, muchas tienen clases de ingls gratuitas. Si Ud. se encuentra fuera de EE.UU. nase a asociacionesde angloparlantes o acuda a las actividades gratuitas que stas patrocinan. 12. Vea deportes que conoceen televisin en ingls. Como ya conoce Ias reglas y los trminos, va a poder entender lo dems. 13. Acuda a restaurantes donde el men est en ingls y donde haya fotos de los platilllos para que el contexto lo ayude a descifrar. t4. Si no vive en pas de habla inglesa trate por todo los medios de visitar pases que hablen este idioma. Y si vive en un pas de habla inglesa, trate de salir del barrio de habla hispana para andar parte del tiempo en tiendas y negociosde haLla irglesa. aD. Repaselas pginas amarillas de la gua o directorio telefnico que tenga en ingls para asociar palabras con las ilustraciones de Ios anmcios. Hay guas bilinges donde podr ver ambos trminos. ao. Lea etiquetas de produ&os en ingls. Como ya tiene el producto o artculo, eI lenguaje est en contexto, o sea, que es ms fcil descifrar lo que se est leyendo. t7. Compre o saque de la biblioteca revistas como TIME. Las fotos y las ilustraciones de noticias que ya Ud. ha sto en espaol har que no se frustre y pueda seguir los hechos y entender algo aqu y algo all y, as ir aumentando su comprensin. 18. Compre o saque de la biblioteca revistas en ingls de temas que lo apasionen. No hay nada como estudiar cosasque nos gustan. 19. Notr que NO recomendamosor la radio en ingls. El motivo es que es muy frustrante tratar de descifrar las noticias o comentarios sin tener imgenes que nos den contexto o tratar de entender cancionessin la letra enfrente. Evite frustraciones. Las frustraciones frustan a los que estudian otra lengua, valga la redundancia. Ud. debe de quitar toda ansiedad al procesode aprendizaje y hacerlo 1oms ameno que pueda. 20. Churchill dijo fieve4 never, never give up." "Nunca, nurrca, nunca ae d por uencido". Otro uso de up. Give up es esl, literalmente "dar para aniba",o sea,no se entregue o 'no leuante las manos".
