Описание: Full Title: Translation³ (TranslationCubed): A bilingual language learning method for faster comprehension and intuitive language acquisition

In my 15+ years of experience learning languages and teaching them to students from all over the world, I’ve seen time and again how traditional language learning materials force language learners to struggle to understand because little to none of the content is translated into the learners’ native language (except in the form of inconveniently located vocabulary lists), thus requiring them to spend lots of time looking up the meanings of words and leaving less time to enjoy and employ their target language.

In my talk, I would like to present my 3-level bilingual language learning method that I call Translation³ (TranslationCubed), which experience has demonstrated helps students to learn languages faster, more efficiently and with more fun because they can start enjoying authentic content from Day 1 thanks to multi-level translations into their language.

The name Translation³ refers to the fact that there are 3 levels of translation to help you to learn faster. *Level 1: An idiomatic translation of the foreign language sentence so you understand the intended meaning immediately. *Level 2: A literal translation of every foreign word so that you intuitively understand the syntax. *Level 3: A “reverse” translation, which I call A.R.T. (Active Reverse Translation), from your mother tongue into your target language that helps you to start thinking in the foreign language sooner and to actively use and remember the vocabulary that you’ve learned in the context of sentences.

Learners who employ Translation³ to learn foreign languages save time, learn more efficiently and internalize the grammar of the foreign language more rapidly and intuitively thanks to these readily available translations into their native language.
