Do you love languages? Do you teach languages? Do you love to learn languages? Would you like to learn another language and want to find out how to do it without spending a ton of money or time you don’t have? If so, then the 5-Week Linguist Show is for you.

Every week, there'll be a new audio or video, talking all about tips, shortcuts, and the research on how to learn any language you want from anywhere in the world, with time you already have. Learn how to turn every 5-week interval into progress towards fluency in a language.

My name is Janina Klimas. I've been teaching languages for more than two decades. I have a BA in Theater Arts and Foreign Languages, and an MA in the teaching of languages. I speak six languages to varying levels of fluency. I've lived on three continents as a language teacher. I've been an English instructor at Sejong University, director of their language immersion program, and taught languages to people ranging from preschool, K-12, university and language for specific purposes. I've taught Spanish and English for many years. I've continued to learn and study additional languages on my own with new activities every 5 weeks. I’ve discovered a lot of resources over the years that I share with you here.

I am so excited for you to be joining me each week here!

Activities to Teach Greetings

Welcome to the 5-Week Linguist Show. We will talk about five activities to practice meeting and greeting in other languages.

(0:02) – Five activities from improvisation to practice meeting and greeting.

(0:46) – All About Alliteration

(01:01) – Whatever your name is, you’d have to introduce yourself with an adjective of the same letter.

(01:57) – It entails introducing each other and repeating what the previous person said.

(02:56) – If you’re doing basic adjectives, do the alliteration with the adjectives, and make sure they agree on gender.

Start giving examples in introducing names in a different language.

(03:52) – Learning how to greet famous people with various emotions. They are presented with a series of scenarios with an instruction to change their greetings at their signal.

(04:54) – Another activity is called Fingers. Everyone gathers in a circle. They raise their fingers, and each student prepares a set number of questions that can be answered with a yes or no answer. As they are being eliminated, people will put their fingers down.

(06:07) – The Name Ball is a basic and fun activity. You’re just meeting and greeting people, but you’ve added a ball to the mix. You introduce yourself to someone else, and we just keep passing the ball around.

(06:39) – My Name is Circle is an activity to make eye contact with the other person before taking their place.
