Descrizione di questo metodo per imparare l'inglese
Quando un'inglese ci parla, emette dei suoni;
consultando l'alfabeto
dei suoni riconosciamo quali suoni ha emesso;
dai suoni riconosciamo quali parole ha detto;
consultando le regole
di pronuncia riconosciamo come si scrivono;
dal vocabolario riconosciamo il loro significato;
tramite la grammatica
ricostruiamo il significato delle frasi intere;
conoscendo i modi di dire arriviamo alla comprensione
di ciò che ci ha detto.
