Basic Global English – New Free Downloads

Good news for primary schools and adult training institutes: Thanks to the cooperation between the EHP and ASEcoLi it is now possible to offer further learning material for our concept Basic Global English for free (via the ASEcoLi, the EHP,  or the BGE website):

99 audios for learning Hungarian for the first encounter

While skills in French are relatively widespread in Germany, Hungarian is a hardly studied language here. Due to the partnership between Pappenheim and Iszkaszentgyörgy, to be officially started at the weekend of the EHP opening, the EHP is therefore offering in cooperation with ASEcoLi learning material, developed by myself for the first encounters with Hungarians. The innovative study concept was already tested by students. It consists of a little textbook and 99 audio files that are freely downloadable at ASEcoLi or via the EHP website. The concept consists of 4 phases and uses the German language as an aid for learning the words and structures and offers memory hooks.

On the Michel Thomas Method

In a self-experiment and in a class experiment, I tried out the Michel Thomas Method (MTM). I tried out the Spanish course (with pre-knowledge of Spanish) and the Polish course (without previous knowledge of Polish) and I designed lessons in Russian and Swedish to be taught to other people. The MTM is based on these principles:

BGE for self-teaching and for adult learner groups

The next milestone of the BGE project is reached: Both the German accompanying material for the self-teaching book Welcome to the World! and the German adult-group handbook Welcome, Global Players! are now among ASEcoLi’s products.

BGE for Self-Teaching

I would like to quote three passages that have helped in furthering the Basic Global English projects during the past months:

BGE and the European Day of Languages

Today is the European Day of Languages. Therefore, I would already like to give the link to the self-teaching material for Basic Global English here, on an inofficial basis.

Close to completion: BGE materials for adults

The work on BGE materials for self-study has required my full attention of the past weeks.
