[thenatureofJade]

This method is amazing. Didn't get it at first.. but forgetting how to learn the traditional way is a good start.

This is so great. Thank you very much. I am getting it, and I know others can get it too. I appreciate you and your patience.

still not getting it i want to learn my language but this videos are not helping i don't understand explain what you are doing in English and in Sioux with both English and Sioux subtitles ugh i want to learn but your videos can be better .....

[girma1jo]

You're right, the videos could be better. Sometimes it helps though to recall there were no translations when learning our first language. Most of us learned to speak fluently without a teacher and without translations. How did we do that ?

Granted, the videos aren't like our home, but they do try to take what worked well there and put us in a similar situation where we can learn again (unlike almost all school language classes). Not easy at first...but no one is watching either.
