Guides / Guía completa para hablantes hispanos: cómo mejorar tu inglés
« on: February 05, 2022, 12:19:14 am »GUÍA COMPLETA PARA PERSONAS DE HABLA HISPANA
Mejora tu inglés
Mejora tu inglés
Bienvenidos
Siendo consciente de la cantidad de latinos (y Juan) que visitan el foro, sentí la necesidad de hacer este post. Ya hace bastante lo venía pensando - y hay varios factores que terminaron de darme el impulso final. Hoy les propongo una guía que va a explicarles paso a paso el proceso de adquisición de lenguas y cómo pueden usarlo a su favor para hablar inglés. Hay FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) y mitos sobre el inglés que pretendo responder en esta guía antes de empezar.
¿Cómo se aprende el inglés o cualquier lengua?
Hay lenguas que son más dificiles que otras, pero por ser hablantes hispanos tenemos facilidad con el inglés. Hay muchas palabras en común y las estructuras gramaticales son más faciles. ¿Pero cómo se aprenden las lenguas? Generalmente en las escuelas del conurbano bonaerense, del norte argentino y del resto de América del Sur se ve lo mismo: Profesores enseñando sin ganas los mismos contenidos durante seis años... pero todo cambia cuando empezamos a entender que el inglés se trata de algo muy distinto. Los idiomas se aprenden de una única forma y esa es entendiendo significados.. ¿Qué significa? Que es más factible que aprendas una lengua apoyándote de un contexto, de un video o de una película (sin entender todas las palabras, pero más bien el mensaje) antes que siguiendo estructuras gramaticales... - también, hay otro factor que es el 'Input'. Diversas investigaciones sostienen que aprendés mientras más contenido consumís y más tiempo pasas con el idioma. Es como un instrumento - la práctica (el consumo en este caso) hace al maestro. Forma todo parte de un proceso cognitivo. Para resumir, hay un video que habla sobre eso y esencialmente me motivó mucho a escribir esto:
¿La edad importa?
En mi opinión, no es tan diferente aprender un idioma a los 20 que a los 35 años. Pero si hay una diferencia si lo aprendes a los 11 o 12, por ejemplo. En lo que a forma; o método se refiere, no hay distinción. Pero un niño de 11 años de edad va a tener muchas menos responsabilidades y mayor flexibilidad para equivocarse aprendiendo. Sin embargo, la capacidad cognoscitiva de todos está. El cerebro es muy poderoso y está perfectamente demostrado que todos pueden aprender a cualquier edad: lo que importa no es la edad, sino la constancia y las ganas de superarse.
¿Cuánto tiempo tarda?
Lo que tenga que tardar. No es algo que haya que pensar demasiado - sino más bien enfocarse en el día a día. Al final de un año puedes llegar a ser capaz de expresarte muy bien. Incluso algunos podrán hacerlo a final del sexto mes aprendiendo. Lo esencial es que se practique de forma diaria.
¿El aprendizaje es lineal?
Si y no. Hay una primera etapa del aprendizaje en el que tenés que familiarizarte con cosas básicas. No vas a saltar al uso de condicionales de una porque morís... pero lo más importante después, cuando entrés en la 'PARTE 2' no es el
¿Hace falta pagar?
No. You don't need to pay.
¿Cuántas etapas son?
Yo lo categorizo en 3 etapas, al igual que la teoría cognitiva:
- Nº1 (First stage): Direct Input, enabling brain processes
- Nº2 (Second stage): Development of subconscious learning abilities
- Nº3 (Third stage): Ability to speak
Ok, so..... let's start.
STAGE 1: DIRECT INPUT, ENABLING BRAIN PROCESSES
Time recommended per day: 1 to 2 hours
Time recommended per month: Depends on the person. As long as you continue to be entertained, from 3 to 12 months within this stage. Move forward when you feel like you're ready.
Resources: A1 Book, Videos, Movies (partially), Translation (partially).
Lo primero que vas a hacer es familiarizarte con expresiones básicas. No se espera que hables inglés al principio ni que entiendas cosas súper dificiles porque sería tonto esperar eso. Pero podés ir de a poco viendo cada vez más contenido. No es importante que agarres todas las palabras al principio. Tratá de deducir lo que se quiere decir a través del contexto. Podés usar la traducción como recurso pero no siempre. You don't learn English in Spanish.
Learn English with videos. Here are some videos for your first (1) stage:
The whole channel of 'Learning English Oxford' might be helpful.
- TODO el canal de Mr. Salas (https://www.youtube.com/c/MrSalas) te va a ser de gran motivación y ayuda.
- If you use translations as a resource, make sure you do it with a full sentence instead of separate words. And don't skip trying to guess what word represents each meaning.
- My recommendation is always that you use a book for beginners. Why? A book might look old-fashioned, but helps you building a routine, covers up most important points for starters and it's good to develop your first writing abilities.
- You can relax with your old favourite movie if you don't feel like directly learning some days. Put subtitles in English and Audio in English. Try to pick a movie with dialogues you already know so you can guess some meanings of words.
- I would recommend you not to abuse grammar learning. If you want to try it, go ahead! But leave it at the moment it starts getting annoying.
- Recommended contents for beginners: Basic expressions, basic vocabulary, presentations, descriptions, basic actions, affirmative-negative-interrogative sentences, usage of 'with', 'but', 'so', 'and' in sentences. These all are going to be covered in a beginners book, so again, try to get one of those.
- Learn English with songs. You can find a lot of dubbed English songs that can go from Jazz to Hip-Hop. Try it, specially if you like to listen songs repeteadly.
- Notice that I only posted a few videos. That doesn't mean you have to watch them only - look for videos entertaining and useful to you, to reach this objective of 1-2 hours per day consuming English.
- When it comes to pictures, my recommendation is:
THIS IMAGE works:
THIS DOES NOT work:
THIS DOES NOT work:
Te diría que no trates de memorizar largas listas de vocabularios, no sirve. Trata mejor de aprender palabras basadas en su contexto, con imágenes que te ayuden a deducir de qué se trata.
STAGE 2: Development of subconscious learning abilities
Time recommended per day: 1 hour is enough
Time recommended per month: Not estimated. It will be enough by the time you reach your fluency goals.
Resources: Videos, dictionary (partially), Movies, Songs, Podcasts, Documentaries, Translation (partially)
At this stage you might be able to understand conversations, be used to certain common expressions and understand some key words, connectors and meanings. That's enough for you to start developing your subconscious learning abilities. Basically, comprehensible input at its finest.
- Enjoy the process, don't focus so much on understanding problematic things your mind is not able to process yet. You must have fun. Embrace yourself into the US / the UK cultures.
- You are able to watch a movie (I would recommend you some that you've already seen) and understand the meanings of some words and sentences. You have the ability to catch the rythm - even though perhaps you don't get everything, what matters is that you can follow the story.
- Lots of listening. Literally. There's no real practice behind speaking... and I tell you why: speaking is about brain processes -processing- information. Your brain will speak when it's ready - forcing it to speak won't really help. The real way towards fluency in speaking is listening.
- IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) might be of your interest if you like studying. Try it out with examples.
- Reading is a hard task - I'd personally do it with some images to back me up. If you are able to understand, then go ahead, but don't crack your head over hard, exaggerated lectures.
- You don't need a book anymore since your basic knowledge is pretty much settled.
Side note: This is just the start of my 'linguistic development project' for VC:MP players. I will be trying to teach Spanish soon and I intend to make a large list of videos with VC:MP fights as a resource as well. Rate 'Agree' if you like the idea!

VC:MP General / VC:MP General situation
« on: January 20, 2022, 09:00:01 pm »
What's your opinion on the following matters?
- Gamemodes: Which gamemodes are the most boring / entertaining for you? Is there any gamemode you'd like to add to VC-MP?
- Playercount: Do you think that the playercount is bad / regular / good? Do you think the situation might improve / worsen / stay the same?
- Cheating: Do you believe cheaters are under control?
- Anything else: What do you think VC:MP lacks? And what is something we can really appreciate and admire within VC:MP?

Off Topic / Travel tips
« on: January 14, 2022, 01:13:52 pm »
So I've been saving some dollars as I've been working hard and I don't have anything to spend my money on.
I discovered that I would like to travel around the world and use this money for that.
But, since I'm 19 years old and I've never been to any other big place more than Córdoba in Argentina (not even Buenos Aires), I am not sure of what I should do first.
I mean should I save extra pennies in case of emergency? or should I just go with enough money to cover up the most of my spendings?
What country should I visit the first? for I'd like to travel to a lot of countries, for instance England, Ireland, Germany, the United States, Israel, so I can't really decide where to spend all my money (it's the most important decision cuz saving for a trip in Arg costs 2x in time and effort). There is an advantage in Israel for instance, it's cheaper and I could visit Egypt during the same trip, but I do believe England is more beauty.
Any piece of advice?

VC:MP General / What is your first memory of GTA:VC / VC:MP?
« on: December 06, 2021, 02:43:42 am »
My first memory of this game is my brother testing it at Wal-Mart's electronics section in Córdoba, a city 180km far from home. He was being chased by cops for a few minutes and got drowned. This was circa 2007. I was 5 years old.
Later on, he met a friend who got the game with a tuned version. I would keep this tuned version till today in a DVD, but I don't play it any longer since I found VCMP.
What about you?

Previous Nicks: Calhoun, biozcalhoun
Additional Comments: Hello. I am applying again after four months of my last denial, with a strong desire (even bigger) of joining this clan. Furthermore, every day that passes, I get more convinced of my interest for being part of this group of people.
What I can offer to VU is naturally my unconditional support for any of the members, backing them up in every conflict that might appear; and helping to build bridges every time is needed. Participation in discussions, votations, team-playing. I am here to work.
In these months; new (first) serious job opportunities popped out for me and gladly, I was able to be successful at them. Lot of work and study, but couldn't be enough to keep me restrained from the game (I managed to join every week, and visited the forums everyday!). This job was a great opportunity to keep developing myself. I learned about organisation, managing times, effort and eficiency.
So here I am. I want to be helpful in projects, groups and I also want to have participation in every matter within the clan. I have a lot of expectations for further improvement and learning.
I don't look back at the past, because everyone here knows it already; but If you feel like asking me something about it, I will surely do.
Thanks a lot for considering me the last time and regardless of what your decision will be now, I am going to respect it and keep trying.

Additional Comments: Hello everyone. I have been spending a considerable amount of time to think about what really VC:MP means to me, what I really want to get from this community and VU and I have reached to a conclusion: I want to join this clan.
- First of all, what has changed?
The last time when I applied, I did not elaborate too much. I did not believe that it was necessary; but I want to make it clear this time.
Right after I was banned from this forums, remaining with my ignorance and arrogance; it took no long time for life itself to show me what I was doing wrong. What I lacked.
People trusted on me - it was pretty obvious that I was not the same guy from 2013. That little kid. But 'not being the same' as before, does not automatically mean that I was a good person.
Calhoun, myself, back to those times when I was on VU; had grown up. 5 years turned out to be a good boost. But I lacked knowledge, respect for opinions of people older than me, experience - all those things which people were trying to give me and, trust me, it's not easy to look around when you are blindfolded.
Life hit me really fucking hard. As well as I lost everything on this community, "the second life of a kid", I lost many good things on real life for being like a piece of shit.
And that is my point here. I did not change for VC:MP, better said, I did not pretend to look like I changed myself to join a VC:MP clan. That does not happen. Soon or later enough, it is evident. It was the real life, my dudes, the one that showed me that I was fucking up.
One year and a half of being away have been a very good school on my personal development. What happened to me was not my unique inflexion point, but also my natural growth. Being a 16 years old kid with no worries about anything and with revolution airs on the back, to being 18 years old and acquiring much more responsabilities have changed the balance. That is the thing here.
I have turned into a much more patient person, much more convinced of my capabilities but not letting it get into my head, I can WORK with a TEAM and that was simply IMPOSSIBLE back at that time. I can LOVE people, I can take care of my friends, I strive to be a GOOD person knowing that there's always one much, much better than me.
I used to annoy so much, to think so much, to literally make problems for everything, to tend to believe myself as superior among others, to incentivate people to vote for me, to systematically configure things in order to gain something from a situation, but today; I simply prefer to live the real life. Enjoy the real things, act with humility, and knowing that there is always something to improve in the horizon.
Why do I want to join VU, what do I want here in VC:MP this time?
The answer is very simple: VU makes me feel very happy, and so does VC:MP.
You see, it is different when you grow yourself up in a game like this being 11 years old, than if you join it when you are 20.
This game has always been an essential part of my life and I feel no embarrassment for saying it. You see, back in the secondary school (and part of my primary school too), I had no friends. Not a single one. Discovering a virtual world where I could enjoy so fucking much to kill people with my laggy ass and where I learnt English was simply glorious. I did not need any more than that. I grew up with VC:MP, this has always been like my second home, and one always tend to get back home.
So, the reason is simple: I fucking love this game. And VU is the community that makes me feel more identified with my feelings about this game. People in VU love this game more than winning, care to help and save the community more than losing an event. And I do too.
- What can I give to VU?
You will have to determinate most of that by yourselves, hehe. I do not like to speak about myself more than a general profile. I think that I am funny; for instance - and I think that I am a decent guy. I like to help people (specially newbies), and in terms of in-game competition, I'm a goofball lagger who can capture any base or flag without receiving a single shot. Think about it.
Thank you guys.

Off Topic / Languages exchange
« on: February 14, 2021, 04:01:30 pm »
Hi guys. The past few months I have started learning deutsch and I've pretty much reached an A1 (my objective is A2-B1), but I wanted to try if I could learn two languages simultaneously (main one: Deutsch and in a second-plane another one); since I am in holidays until April, approximately.
I am studying English professorship and my calification is B1-B2 for this language. While I am not the most qualified person for teaching it, Ich glaube Ich kann mit das Grundlagen helfen, haha. I am also a native spanish speaker.
So, my proposal is: if you are interested on learning Spanish preferably, or English (or not, and you just want to help me) / and your primary language is Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Hebrew or other; I'd like to do a language exchange with you. Via zoom, meet, or wherever, have one chat a weekend or two, practice pronunciation, teach me some basics and the fundamentals of the language, its differences with english, etc.
I am more interested on non alphabetical languages, but any other proposals are welcome.
It is obvious that you cannot fully learn a language in three months; but sure thing you can reach basics.

Off Topic / What would you rather be?
« on: February 02, 2021, 02:58:02 pm »
Would you like to become a famous doctor in Human Rights and a philantrophist, designed by ONU to look after the peace on the world? And received with joy and happiness in every country you visit? The bad thing is, however, that you have got not much time to spend with your family, and your children frequently ask your wife: "Where is dad?" and she replies: "I don't know, my loves. Your father travels a lot and sometimes he cannot take us with him."
The children become unsecure about themselves and start to have more confidence with a pizza delivery guy called morphine, and even your wife is getting closer to him. Your parents also complain saying that you can bring peace in the world but you cannot help your own dad to repair that old 1975 car. You have already talked to your superiors about your problematics, but they cannot afford flights for your entire family (and also your wife has to take care of her job) so the situation is complicated. Your life is stuck in a troubleful axis.
Or you'd rather be a non very well paid history teacher. Let's say this is the job of your dreams. You, however, have 4 children. And they've got to assist to the university, which judging by your salary, it's not enough to cover the fees per annum. Not even for one of them. But they love you at any rate. They understand that you cannot afford such a high pay, but they are condemned to struggle to get universitary education. Your wife, on the other hand, couldn't understand and left you and the kids 14 years ago. You live in a rented apartment and you're not sure whether you will be able to even buy a house. You have already tried to look for a new job, but things look unsecure; you cannot risk it at any cost or you could be starving for an entire month.
What would you choose and why?
