Blackboard Language Project

First two examples:

English for Polish:



Polish for English:



The simplicity and how easy it is to produce such lessons is the best thing in this concept. I try to find people who would like to produce similar videos for us.

It could be also very nice project for any school group.

You just take your camera (or borrow one) put it against a blackboard (or use any other background), write 20 - 30 expressions for any theme you find interesting, get any free editing program, cut the unnecessary footage, export is to wmv and upload it on youtube.

You can make a lot of people very happy with it.

If you don't know how to make subtitles - ask me, it is absolutely easy. You can also upload the English version and I will do the subtitles.

I always enjoy a Janusz thread.

I also like that girl's nasal vowels. They're pronounced stronger than the ones I normally hear.

3rd one seems rather random but keep them coming :)

This project is about producing a lot of supporting material for somebody who wants to practice his Polish. The technical complexity of the project is reduced to the minimum so that theoretically everybody could participate. If you would like to help me - visit our Polish Language Forum on solarnet.tv (I hope I am not impolite to advertise my own site here - it is meant only for those who would like to contribute their work) I will keep presenting the results of our work here. I do believe that a lot of funny ideas will come up in the process.

I thought the last one was quite nice.

Don't get me wrong, I am not trying to produce a serial of nonsense dialogs. I'm just playing around a little because it's a new idea. But soon it will be back to normal every day dialogs. The main task is to make it very quick so I will do without sketching and put very simple paint drawings.

My personal interest in this project is more about the possibility to visualize a story board. This could be a very nice tool to plan a film or a film report.

rather random

"Podlej kwiatki" and "Daj motykę" are quite useful phrases in my line of work. Other than that, it is quite random. Randomness isn't actually such a bad thing. If you're trying not just to speak a few phrases in a language, but actually learn it, something memorably odd can help show how things fit together.

I actually want to see the outtakes from that video. I'm sure she was about to crack up with laughter on more than one occasion.

in fact this was the main motivation and reason to make this video. Just as you guessed we literary rolled on the floor laughing :D Which was fun.

good work, but spoiled by adverts covering up the english translation at the bottom:(

Just click on the "x" and they go though. :)

A way of spotting where the adverts are is to note below the red timeline there is a yellow marker, that's where the advert will appear and you can be ready for it. ;)

Me or Janusz? ;)

Janusz does deserve some thanks for producing these videos though. What a star. :)

sorry for the adverts, they suck but I earn money with it, this is great for me. I never believed one can earn money with it but I was obviously wrong. So if you want to do something nice for me then click on the ads. It is not really cool but it helps me. I don't need to waste my time with stupid assignment work.

Brilliant ! The only downside is that it serves to remind me of how much I've forgotten.

I am very proud and happy to present to you my new idea of how to help people who try to learn (or not forget) Polish:

In plain Polish - po prostu po polsku



numbers again:



and a Polish student does a video on her's own:



Jaki jest twój ulubiony kolor?



po prostu po polsku:

czego nie ma?



case drills:

kubek:



butelka:

Excellent video with Polish pronunciation

This is the best video I've seen about Polish pronunciation. The examples after every sound is great to make it even more clear. Excellent!

Polish Vocabulary Build Up project: Head

This is only the "gamma" version. You could participate in the development checking this video out for any mistakes. I would appreciate it very much. I'm also looking for a nice Polish native speaker voice for this video.
