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!

Writing Sub Plans (+ tips for independent learners)

Welcome to the 5-Week Linguist Show. In this episode, we will talk about writing sub plans as a language teacher and what independent learners can do when a teacher is not available.

(00:42) – If you’re lucky, get a teacher who speaks the language.

(01:04) – It’s challenging to write sub plans as a language teacher. You want them to learn, you don’t want to waste time, and It takes a lot of guidance towards beginners to start learning.

(01:36) – Hard topics bring about feelings of inadequacy.

(02:04) – We have to use time effectively to get them to learn as much as we want them.

(02:31) – I have the Five Pillars of sub plans for language teachers

(03:02) – First, we will talk about flashcards.

(04:26) – You can take words, and from there, students can play concentration.

(05:55) – You can “play” them like the Go-Fish style.

(06:22) – It can be an interactive quiz, a guessing game, or even finding pairs.

(07:45) – It is a simple way to learn an interactive and fun set of new vocabularies.

(08:15) – Drawings are an effective way to learn a language.

(08:35) – The point is not the art, but understanding the meaning of the word deeply and interacting with it.

(09:50) – Drawings are interactive when you do this with a student.

(10:36) – Conversations can become a dramatization, role play, or skit, depending on how it’s done.

(11:14) – It can be quite difficult for beginners when these things are considered into sub plans.

(12:36) – They can do this as a review of some of the conversations you’ve had.

(13:10) – Memorizing tends to work well with people at the novice level once they really get into it. Though it takes a while for them to learn, they can do it without a piece of paper.
