Cracking Language Fundamentals Tool Shed
Welcome to the Cracking Language Fundamentals Tool Shed. Here you'll find unique tools to master languages like Thai, Chinese, Hindi, and more. These tools provide you with what you NEED to master the scripts and phonology of languages across Asia - in particular tonal languages like Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, Lao, Burmese, and other languages across the region like Khmer, Javanese, Balinese, and any language that is tonal and/or has a current or historical script based on the Indic / Brahmic Abugida (not alphabet). Very often, these languages take a different mindset compared to learning European languages - and these tools will help install the 'Operating System for your Mind' for learning tonal and abugida-based languages - even extending to scripts like Korean Hangul.
To learn how to use these tools properly, directly integrated into your language learning, join my Mindkraft programme at Jcademy.com and come and join our Discord server group where you can interact with other like-minded people, keep the momentum up, AND get feedback to help you reach your learning goals.
Introduction to the My Language Tool Shed
These tools have been designed after having both studied and taught many languages - particularly tonal languages across Asia including Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, Burmese and dialects across the region. The tools are particularly suited to the needs of tonal languages and / or foreign scripts that are based on the Indic / Brahmic Abugida. Watch this video first so you can see how to make the most of the tools for your language. Where I demonstrate in one language, in many cases these methods will be transferrable across to your target language.
