Comments from students of "The Seven Keys: Part 1"

I realized that I had not been conscious of the input process from nouns to verbs or the connection between them.
My eldest child is older and tries to read letters, even though they are in the romanized alphabet, so I felt it might be a good idea to take advantage of this and use verb and noun cards (or illustrations)!
I learned everything from the very beginning about language acquisition.
There are some parts that I didn't fully understand after just one viewing, so I'll watch it again during the period!
Business cards and verbs are important. Take action immediately. It always gives me an opportunity to review teaching materials I haven't used. I haven't been able to stream SP recently, so I'll start again today.
Learn in the order of nouns and verbs. The situation is important. Not only business cards, but also prepositions and a are important.
I thought it was a waste to have been doing it without thinking about how to distinguish nouns and how to combine them with verbs. Yume-chan's mom's realization is wonderful. I've decided to open FWW, which I haven't been able to use until now, right away from today! The input for each situation is easy for children to understand! There were a lot of "I see"s. Thank you.
I learned that there is a way to input information efficiently, not just by pouring it over! I would like to improve the quality of my input by paying attention to nouns and verbs. I was able to reaffirm the merits of DWE in that it allows me to input information for each situation and purpose.
Regarding the benefits of being bilingual in childhood, I had never considered the perspective that "it is easier to spread your native language as an adult," so I realized that the end result is different if you learn it as an adult!
Also, it was a real eye-opener to learn that "articles and prepositions are clues to finding nouns" and that "nouns are input by associating them with verbs". I got goosebumps because I felt like I finally understood the essence of the native language method. It's often said that you should associate things with each situation, link them together, and so on, but how do you actually do that? I was at a loss, so I want to rethink the content of my input. I'm looking forward to inputting things from now on!
Thank you so much for making the seven keys public. I am very curious to know how many more of these important keys there are...!!
I've been following Yume-chan's posts for a while now, so there was nothing I didn't know, but this course gave me a deeper understanding of what I should do theoretically. By understanding why I should do something, I feel like I can change the way I talk to my child when I don't have the materials at hand.
I heard that DWE teaching materials are created based on the native language method, but once I understood the meaning, the purpose of using the materials and why they are used in those materials became clearer.
I learned what the native language method specifically means.
I had never really thought about the essential order in which children acquire language, so the process made sense to me.

I never knew articles and possessives were for finding nouns! It was an eye-opener for me😂
I hadn't been conscious of it at all when I was talking to her up until now, and I hadn't even used articles.

I was also surprised when I saw FWW😂 Most of them are for specific purposes‼︎
Up until now, I hadn't been able to make use of FWW at all, but I discovered this rule and found it interesting, so I thought I'd try using FWW today and playing around with it, focusing on first getting the child to notice the noun!

Thank you for the paid class!
I'm curious about the remaining 6 keys 🔑🩵
I realized that I should input information in relation to each situation and purpose. It seems that my perspective on teaching materials will change a little.
Input business cards for each situation. I now understand why blindly using the flowing water and TAC cards doesn't produce results. I now know what to look for, and I feel like I can start over with the DWE that I was about to give up on. I've never played FWW with my kids, but I'm going to try it today!
It's important to act as soon as you find out!
Because nouns and verbs were being spoken separately.
Next, I tried to get him to remember demonstrative pronouns by calling out to him.
By listening to the lecture, I learned the importance of the relationship between nouns and verbs.
Before you teach them demonstrative pronouns,
I wanted to broaden the scope of my use of nouns and verbs at the same time.
I've been trying to use multiple nouns interchangeably to understand a verb, and conversely, trying to use multiple verbs interchangeably to understand a business card - although this is something I've been doing unconsciously, I decided to make a conscious effort to incorporate it into my life!
I realized that it is not enough to simply input information, but that it is necessary to consciously incorporate it, and that it is not good to rely solely on teaching materials.
I realized that in order to learn in my native language, I need to be conscious of how I input information.
I remembered what I was taught when studying for the English exam: when I don't understand something, I should infer it from the context. I learned about the theory behind the native language method, and it changed the way I look at the study materials.
Verb and noun linkage
I thought I understood that the teaching materials were linked together, but I realized that I had been using them without understanding how to take advantage of that linkage.
Also, before you start worrying about a lack of output, it may be that you are not inputting enough at all.
I don't want to teach them, but to make them aware of it. It's difficult, but I'm going to give it a try.
I had never thought of finding words in a sentence before, so I thought, "I see!"
Being stung by a crab is something we hear a lot, so this was easy to understand and was something that was very familiar to us.
The process of acquiring one's native language was explained in detail, comparing Japanese and English, and I found it very convincing. I was surprised that this course was a paid course, as I have never heard of a course that explains in such detail the importance of inputting nouns and how to do it. It has changed the way I look at learning materials! I have once again come to understand the great benefits of learning English using the native language method.
The recognition of language in childhood and adulthood. The process of acquiring language in everyday life.
I was surprised to discover that DWE was well-constructed.
Grammar is about making children aware of it.
I watched it twice and it was so good! Is it okay to watch this for free? I wondered.
I've been doing DWE for four years and thought I knew a fair amount of information, but I haven't found anything about this topic anywhere!
I never thought of Fun with Words that way. I think that those who will be raising their children with English from now on are truly lucky. Of course, even when they turn 6, I think that what I learned in the course will be useful in the future. There are only benefits to learning English in your native language from a young age! That's why I want to do what I can now to help them.
Thank you for the wonderful course.
It's been 7 months since I started learning English at home.
I was constantly wondering what the best input is, and I was running the water every day.
This video cleared up that vague feeling.
I realized that I had been taking in information without understanding its essence at all, so I would like to take action to ensure that I take in high-quality nouns!
When adults encounter a Japanese word they don't know, they can guess it faster than children. This is because they know a larger vocabulary than children, and this applies to children who grew up with English as their native language. The longer you have experience learning English, the faster you can guess! I see! I was convinced.
I realized the benefits of learning based on the steps of acquiring one's native language, and I wanted to put it into practice as soon as possible. After hearing about using clues to find nouns and using nouns as clues to find verbs, I now have a clearer idea of how to use the learning materials. Thank you for explaining the theory in an easy-to-understand way.
I had never thought of inputting nouns according to the situation and purpose, and it certainly makes sense that episodic memory is easier to remember.
Even just one item had so much information that my brain couldn't keep up.
I didn't understand the native language method in the first place, so I was happy that I was able to understand it properly today. I have good teaching materials, so I hope I can use them well.
With this momentum, I'm curious to know the remaining six keys as well.
Thank you for providing this valuable course for free😭 I couldn't stop taking notes! If parents don't understand what the purpose is, they won't be motivated and they'll just get impatient and their child-rearing will be over in no time💦 That's what would have happened! Lol
If you don't understand something, don't worry about it, ask a professional and solve the problem, and you won't waste time or money! I regret not taking the bilingual course... There's no more this year...💦
Input nouns with the same purpose together, not the same category.
Until now, I have not been able to teach my children to associate verbs with nouns and combine them with various nouns.
I let them watch DVDs, but I can't seem to incorporate English into my daily life...
I realized that parents also need to study.
Recently, I've started changing the subject of DWE lines to my own name, and I realized, that's what it means!
I found it easy to understand that articles are clues to finding nouns.
If you continue to provide input in a way that children themselves notice, they will be able to acquire new words on their own.
I was surprised to learn that children learn from nouns and use what they have learned as a clue to progress in their learning. Until now, I had been continuing English at home without knowing how to progress, so I was anxious and jumped at various pieces of information. However, after listening to Yume Mama's lecture, I understood where my child stands. Also, input is done for each situation!! This was a new discovery for me! I would like to organize my child so that he can input information for each situation.
I learned the essence for the first time. I think that from now on I will be able to use teaching materials not just by using them, but by thinking about their meaning and using them effectively.
Clarifying what you do and why will result in high-quality input
I was very convinced that articles are clues to finding nouns!
Why is DWE good? Of course I bought it because I thought it was good, but now I understand why it is said to be good.
I learned a lot, including the key points for mastering nouns!
Thank you for the very easy-to-understand free course! It's a shame that it's free, as it's packed with content. For me, it was not so much how to use the teaching materials, but learning the theory of language acquisition that was very valuable. I now understand why children are so quick to learn new languages.
And it was a course that made me proud that I was able to teach my children English at home while they were still young. I wanted to praise myself for the day when I presented to my husband about purchasing DWE!
My eldest daughter is now 2 years and 3 months old and is starting to talk a little, so I plan to immediately put into practice what I learned in the course!
I'm going to watch it two more times so I can share it with my husband!
First, find the noun! I understood that words come from nouns and then verbs are attached to them. It makes sense because related nouns can be remembered in a cascading fashion.
I felt that it was very important to input information according to the situation and purpose. There were many ways to memorize vocabulary types, but I thought that memorizing nouns for each situation would help me understand the meaning of vocabulary better.
I've been doing FWW with my kids recently, and I heard that it's good to remember nouns with related things, so I'll pay attention to that. I'm still working on Blue and I thought it was hard to remember prepositions, but I think it's important to make them realize it themselves.
First of all, I thought it was important to know the nouns, but I see how to find them! It was a new realization! I understood the important things and how to use DWE, but as someone who cannot speak English at all, I found it difficult to imagine how I should actually use TAC and BOOKs with my children (even how to talk to them or read the BOOK), and I felt that it was a problem. I am very grateful that you taught me so carefully in the free course, but if I may be so bold as to say, I feel that it would be easier to imagine if you could show me some practical examples using actual materials. Still, for me, who has only been using DWE for three months, this course has established a foundation for the future, and I have been able to get into the mindset that I can't help but look forward to using the materials. I am really happy that I was able to take this course. I would love to hear about other keys. Thank you very much for the long lecture!
I realized that it is important to input information for each scene and each association. I thought that I tend to classify things like in a typical picture book.
I realized that by using what I had learned as a guide to learn the next thing, and then using that as a guide again, I was able to learn at an accelerated rate.
I found the method of finding nouns and verbs very convincing.
I think it is important for parents to do thorough research on teaching materials.
I learned a lot from this experience because I was able to understand theoretically why the native language method is good! I now have a good understanding of how to use the teaching materials. I would like to immediately divide the TAC into different situations and use them when playing or recreating the game.
It's only available for a week, but I want to listen to it again and again!! I'm really curious about the second half... I hope they don't sell the second half to the general public🥺
I thought, "It's easier to remember words if you learn them by scene!" I realized that DWE makes it easier to remember nouns and verbs that are used in the same scene.

I also use "guessing and predicting parts of speech" when reading English texts.
I was surprised to learn that children also have the ability to make similar "guesses"!
One of the benefits of early acquisition of native English is the ease with which one can expand their vocabulary later on.
I thought I would become bilingual if I just did DWE. I was surprised to learn that there are different ways to use teaching materials and have different perspectives. I had been using DWE without any purpose, so it was great to learn the basics of the native language method.
I realized the importance of using the native language. I regret that I was not able to input information effectively. I would like to review it again and input information more effectively.
Remember by theme
I will pay more attention to each scene from now on. I will watch it two more times to make it more personal to me.
That's it.
I started DWE without knowing anything about language acquisition theory, so I learned a lot. My second son wants to enjoy English at home through DWE in his native language, so now he has a guidepost and can enjoy it with confidence! I thought.
I knew that the guide had a playlist for each situation, but I remembered that I hadn't used it much. Instead of just listening to it and letting my child take in the information, I decided to change the way I take in the information by being aware of each situation. There were some surprising things, and I learned a lot. I will try to divide TAC into different situations right away. Thank you for allowing me to take this wonderful course for free.
I remember that it's not enough to just let it flow; unless I take action myself, I won't get anything out of it.
I've been working hard at DWE for almost four years, and I'd been feeling frustrated wondering if there was a way to make it go better, but after taking this course, I've decided to give it another try!
Thank you for making this public!
I have obtained the Light Blue CAP, but I have no sentence output, so I was thinking about how to get involved until I could obtain the Blue, and then I took this course. I learned specific methods for inputting nouns and how to relate to them, and I was able to see how that connected to verbs and grammar.
The explanation of how language is acquired was very convincing. I remembered how my children first started speaking, and as I listened to the lecture, I was shocked to learn that my 6-year-old son was desperately trying to remember what he was hearing and songs, and that even though he could answer with words and sometimes with sentences, he still couldn't combine nouns and verbs, and that's why he couldn't speak! I felt like I wanted to go back to when I bought DWE... My 3-year-old son is now just starting to say sentences from words and is shadowing DVDs, and I want to review the quality of the input for both of my children! I strongly wanted to take action right away!
When I purchased them, the advisor told me that it would be fine to just let them flow into my ears, so I believed him and have been doing that ever since, but now I'm going to match the sound and visual information and recreate each scene!
I was really at a loss as to what to do, but I feel like I have found a way!!
Thank you very much.
First I would like to take the 7 Keys limited edition course, and also want to learn other things, but is it still possible to sign up for Besty's light course?
All I could think was, “Ahaha!”
I realized how wasteful my previous use of DWE was.
From information on social media, I thought that "children will learn English by themselves if you just let them listen to it", but I realized that there is also a trick to inputting it. I will reconsider this from today.
I don't think there is anyone else who has studied language to this extent and connected it to DWE.
The examples were easy to understand, and I found them very insightful. I did notice some audio distortion during the lesson, though.
When I say "start with the sound," I realize that in my family we started late, and that was exactly the case.
I am constantly amazed at Yume-chan's mother's attitude towards language learning, even though she is at the graduate school level. I admire her as an adult for being able to put into words what she intuitively thinks.
How to input in your native language. Articles, prepositions, etc. are merely a way to find nouns.
Hearing about the benefits of the mother tongue method made me realize that that's what it was all about. I had always thought that the "mother tongue method is good" and wondered why it was good, even though I couldn't explain how it was good, but after hearing a convincing explanation, it all made sense. I thought I would be happy if my own child could benefit from it in the future. To make that happen, I wanted to enjoy the present without wasting it.
I often forgot to put "a" or "an" on nouns, but I never paid much attention to it before. I realized that I must do so from now on!
It's a little late, but after hearing about the benefits of the native language method, I thought, "I see!" It's much more efficient to learn something new in your native language than to learn it as a foreign language! I felt relieved, knowing that what I wanted to do for my child was not wrong.
Searching for clues
Remembering nouns by linking them to situations and purposes. DWE's Pluto's birthday certainly has words related to dogs and birthdays all together, and it was an eye-opener for me as I understood the intention of DWE.
When I purchased DWE, I had heard many times about the native language method, so I just thought it was probably a good thing, but after taking the course, I was able to understand why it is so meaningful to have a child learn a language as their native language. I spent about two years doing this, going through TAC and going to events. I thought that I would not be able to make use of the materials unless I looked at them and understood the contents first. I wanted to keep a good record of this course, so I took notes. I am not the type to read guides, but... I wanted to get my hands on the materials with my child right away to see how I can help him learn nouns and verbs.
The benefits of being bilingual during early childhood.
Until now, I've watched the DVDs and CDs in order over and over, and I've worked through the TACs in numerical order, but I thought I'd try breaking them down into parts that appear in one scene or that are related.
The story is about a dog being bitten by a crab. The analogy was very easy to understand, and I thought, "I see." For the first time, I realized that DWE is something that you do with that in mind.
I've heard a lot of different things through Instagram, but this was the most interesting. I've heard a lot of lectures in the past, but I've always just forgotten what they were about. This one was a high-resolution lecture. I saw a comment that said, "This is free!" and thought, "Ah, come on," but it was definitely something that cost money.
However, I have a very sloppy personality and I'm exhausted from work, so I don't have the confidence to actually think about it that much, plan it, and tackle it. I would like to listen to the course further, but I'm not sure how to tackle it concretely...
The specific process of acquiring words in the native language method: finding clues for nouns, which then become clues for verbs
It was a new discovery for me that children learn the connection between verbs and nouns in their native language. Therefore, I would like to use FWW, which I have not been able to use much, from now on.
It is important to understand the essence of the mother tongue method.
However, I thought that if I just let the child listen to the sound, he would absorb it and start talking on his own.
I was at a point where I felt like I had reached a dead end, so I was advised to focus on "quality," and I have been putting this into practice since then through TAC. For example, I created groups by situation, and divided them into verb + noun sets.
Since I am not very good at English, the content of this course was full of "I see!" moments.
I was strangely convinced by the LASIK story lol. I was also worried about the fact that I wasn't drinking any water at all 😂
I had never really thought about the difference between sing-alongs and straight plays, so I was surprised at how well-researched the teaching materials were.
I've lost track of how to classify TAC and what the answer is, but I do understand that it's easier to absorb words related to dogs than a collection of animals. Thank you for making me realize this again.
Until now, I had never paid any attention to different situations when inputting vocabulary, so I'm glad I took this course!
The most convincing point was that parents teach grammar and suppress their children's ability to discover grammar on their own. As expected, I became impatient and started pointing out mistakes to my children more and more as they got older.
I also realized how important it is to improve the quality of my input.
I think it's very important to learn each scene.
In Blue, there are articles as a way to find nouns, and then you use nouns as a way to find verbs, and I couldn't stop taking notes. I knew that DWE itself was a linked teaching material, but I learned how to connect it to the next step.
It's good to remember words by related things
I have been trying to learn English using my mother tongue, but just hearing one of the seven keys helped me connect the dots and deepen my understanding.
I thought it meant letting the input 🟰 flow and letting the TAC flow.
Now that I know how to input information, I think I can check the study materials more consciously in the future, but I'm still a bit worried about whether I can actually find clues and convey them well, but I'm going to try to put it into practice from tomorrow.
By learning in your native language, you can acquire English unconsciously.
It was a very interesting topic. I think there is a big difference in the development of children if they don't know about it and if they realize it and use it in their future studies. I realized how important it is for parents to understand the teaching materials and their children's development, and to proceed with learning in the right way at the right time.
I just wanted to input something, and my eldest daughter, age 3, was thrilled when she started speaking new words, but I was excited at the possibility that parents could expand on this by having fun and coming up with creative ideas together.
I heard that you should input the nouns you use in each situation, and I wanted to incorporate that into my work.
The way words are input is not by memorizing them in general groups (food, animals, etc.), but by memorizing words used in specific situations while imagining actions, etc.
The difference between articles in words can be learned later, and the child should be made to realize for himself that "things with articles are nouns" and "things with possessives are nouns." (Don't tell them) It was an eye-opener!
It is often said that re-enactment play is good, and I found that because it involves a re-enacted scene, it is easy to imagine the conversation and vocabulary that takes place in that scene, which then leads to input.
Although they are not the same type, you learn nouns that fit your purpose in combination with verbs! This leads to learning for each situation, and you can input the verb to be used with this noun, which I think is what it means to improve the quality of your input!
Link nouns and verbs.
I feel like I was forcing my daughter to output something without even realizing it. I'm really regretting it.
From now on, my mother will consciously combine nouns and verbs when speaking to my child.
When I remembered the content of DWE, I thought, "This is exactly how it all works!" It all made sense to me, and it gave me goosebumps. It made it clear to me what to do from now on.
I've been doing DWE for just under five years, but I've never really thought this deeply about the DWE materials. I've just been doing what I was told in the DWE manual and the first steps. I've never thought about input for each situation and purpose, as mentioned in the course. More than anything, I relied too much on the materials themselves, without any ingenuity, just going through the materials and showing the DVDs. After watching the course, I realized that even though I'd been doing DWE with my child, I hadn't been interacting with them in a way that would have made it more effective. I wish I'd seen this course sooner, and I want to see more.
This lecture gave me the opportunity to reconsider how to use DWE. Thank you very much.
I realized for the first time the benefits of learning in one's own language. You make sentences by associating them with the vocabulary you already know, so you can be self-sufficient in English. Even though DWE is said to be a native language method, I had never thought about it that way.
I once again realized that DWE is a truly amazing teaching material. And I felt a real sense of gratitude towards Yume Mama, who understood its amazing structure and mechanisms and explained it to us.
Raising a child bilingually and teaching English at home is like LASIK; the world looks completely different if you do it or not, and I was told that the earlier you start, the better. I really related to that and it also helped boost my own confidence.
After Yume Mama taught me, I stopped the video and opened FWW, and I was so right! DWE is amazing! Yume Mama is amazing too! Now that I know how it works, I'm sure it will be an even better way to give input to my children. All that's left is to put it into practice!
My child is currently in the 5th grade, but before he starts elementary school, I'm showing him videos (SP and SA) as much as possible to give him input. When I asked him if he could imagine the CD, I thought I'd try it since I hadn't done it before.

I was shocked to hear that the articles and prepositions that appear in Blue can be thought of as clues to find nouns. I realized that this was true, and I hope to be able to input it intuitively by repeating it.

I thought that being conscious of finding out what nouns a verb is combined with and being exposed to grammatical patterns would make a difference in the speed at which students absorb information, so I wanted to get hands-on with my child.
It was everything!
This made me realize that up until now I had simply opened the study materials and looked at them.
I'll watch at least this part of the video again while the shock is still fresh in my mind!
I'm sure that parents who open the page properly will be able to succeed in English at home.
Input business cards and verbs in your native language
Thank you for letting me take this valuable course! It was packed with so much valuable information that I wondered if it was really okay to give it for free. I learned a lot!

My daughter, who is 2 years and 8 months old, started DWE in June.
There are many ways to say English.
He only wants to watch Blu-rays and doesn't want to do TAC, and he still has a lot of words to say, so I was worried about whether things were okay like this.
However, by learning the language, I feel like the things I need to do have suddenly become clearer in front of me.
I was able to feel like, "I'm heading in the right direction!"

Regarding the seven keys
Unfortunately, unless you are a bilingual course student, you cannot take the second half of the course.

(I would have liked to take the course even if it cost money.
Can light bilingual students also take this course?

The materials that were available for viewing as course materials are a hint, aren't they? Thank you very much.
I don't know if I can use it,
First, let's compare it with bookguid and Yume Mama's past posts.

I remember desperately trying to memorize articles when I was a student, but I was shocked because I had never thought of them as a clue to finding nouns.

And those nouns become clues to find verbs... I thought it must be connected to the five sentence patterns. And I was able to understand the essence of how DWE materials are made. I got goosebumps.

When I was watching the song "Blue," I was wondering why it starts with "Pluto's Birthday song," followed by "birthday, birthday," followed by "What Dose a Duck Say?", which is about animals, and then goes back to "Let's Have a Birthday Party."

With this one, you can feel the nouns intuitively while clapping.
In 2, they learn words related to birthday scenes, in 3 they learn about the different types of nouns using animals as a theme, and in 4 they learn countable nouns. (These are exactly the embodiment of what Yume Mama said about learning by scene.)

Then, a few songs after 4, "Taking Turns"
I got goosebumps when I thought that it was designed to help children understand verbs from nouns. I thought that if parents don't understand the essence of DWE, the way they use the teaching materials will change.

Sometimes I would just play my favorite songs, but I'm glad to have realized that this is not an efficient way to use the teaching materials.

Thank you so much for allowing me to take such an informative course.

Watch it over and over again until the viewing period expires
I will sink it in further within myself.
Articles and other words are clues to find nouns.
I understand the benefits of learning early.
I bought it a year ago. I was so satisfied with it that I didn't get to do anything with it.
A clue! I had no idea.
It took me a long time to understand it myself, so I would like to rewatch it before the deadline.
I watched the video!
The mechanism of language acquisition was explained in detail, and it was interesting to see how my son, who is now 1 year and 10 months old, is learning both Japanese and English. As Yume-chan's mother said, I can see from my son's small growth that he is developing from sound to word meaning to grammar. Recently, he has been able to make more sounds on his own, and he has been repeating adult words in Japanese more often (sounds), he has been able to understand meaning and communicate, and he has been outputting it through his actions more often (meaning), and he has been able to use Japanese grammar even if it is imperfect, such as "This is Papa's" (grammar). In English, he has an intuitive understanding of interrogative words such as "what", and can answer questions with words. I was surprised that he could answer the question "Are you-?" if it was "No". I think this is because the grammar was the same as the phrases in the picture books he occasionally read. And I think it was because there happened to be a situation where the grammar and the answer "No" were linked.
I thought I had read books about language acquisition, but I didn't feel like I had been able to apply it to a level where I could understand it myself. I learned from this as a working adult that it's wonderful to be able to understand and verbalize something.
This course linked my current situation to how I learned a lot; it taught me that parents can increase their child's speech by intentionally preparing situations.

In my house we only use the DWE Magic Pen set, and when it arrived I was surprised at how much volume this set alone contained.
I was also surprised by how the scenes were paired with articles, how many phrases appeared, and how the sound effects made it easier to imagine the scenes!
When I bought it, my son was not yet 18 months old, so I wondered if he would be able to use it. But now, he is starting to use it for inputting sounds and outputting by imitating. I haven't checked the vocabulary and phrases in detail yet, so I would like to analyze the situations and apply it to my son's life!
He carefully explained the theory behind the course and taught me how to approach the DWE materials with a new perspective.
I had heard in many places that learning would be done using the DWE (native language) method, but I had never really thought deeply about what the native language method actually was.
The LASIK analogy was very easy to understand. I started DWE because I had a hard time learning English. I bought it because I wanted my child to learn in a fun way while they were still in their early childhood and could absorb anything. However, I learned that there are many benefits and advantages to acquiring a language as one's first language.
It puts into words the vague parts that I had in my mind, and there were many things that made me think, "Ah, I see!"
I especially found the three points on mastering nouns very insightful. It was good to be able to confirm once again that it is good to input according to the situation and purpose. However, when I looked back and asked myself if I was actually doing it right, I felt that I wasn't, so I want to change that! Our child is still in the input stage, so I would like to start by changing the way I summarize TAC and use it in reenactment play. Also, when I was studying myself, I felt that I was really bad at articles and things like that, but I realized that it was to help me hit the target. Also, when I was asked how many people actually picked up FWW, I was happy to be praised for doing it! I was able to realize once again that praising is important and makes me happy. I would like to praise my child as much as possible♪
Until now, I had only vaguely thought of "learning English," but I realized that it is divided into sounds, meanings, and grammar! I need to be conscious of that and reconsider my input.
It was only after listening to this course that I was able to understand for the first time how the teaching materials show the relationship between nouns and verbs, and how the nouns are clearly divided into categories to make them easy to remember!
I always look forward to Yume-chan's posts.

My 2-year-old daughter uses DWE. I had been just playing CDs and DVDs and talking to her, but after attending this mini course, I decided to clarify my purpose and work on it.
I began to listen to songs not just by listening to them, but by imagining scenes as I listened to them.

Thank you for giving me this opportunity.
The importance of using your native language and having your brain analyze it for yourself.
I didn't know what the "native language method" was, but after listening to your explanation, I understood what it was. I didn't know how to approach it every day, so I just worked on it and didn't use it, so I'm going to look at the book again and try to focus on nouns and verbs.
I've been learning input methods through trial and error while studying Yume Mama's Instagram and other sources, but this course was an opportunity to reaffirm how important it is for parents to fully understand beforehand. I also learned a lot from this course, such as how understanding the essence of DWE can enrich everyday learning. I was able to learn more deeply about the key words of relevance and connection, and after watching the course and looking at the materials, I thought to myself, ``That's so true!'' It looks like I'll be cherishing my input period! Thank you very much!
First, find the noun. The article is your guide. Once you can find the noun, use it as a hint to find the verb.
I had never thought about a book or song lyrics in this way before, so it was an eye-opener.
I thought it was a good way to think about relating words.
I still have a little one, so I'll give it a try.
How to connect words and verbs, and how to input them
The idea of using clues to learn nouns and verbs. The importance of understanding this before you begin.
Although I recognized that input was important, I had no theoretical understanding of why it was important, and I just went about my days in a haphazard manner.
As a result, I wasn't able to produce any output and it just ended up being a bit of a drag, so from now on I would like to be more conscious of the videos and make better use of them.
Thank you very much.
Learn nouns using articles and plurals as clues, and use the nouns as clues to learn verbs.
After you explained it to me using examples in Japanese, I thought, "That's true!"
Until now, I had been working on having students memorize the DWE sentences by simply listening to them and then reciting them.
I realized that it is important to create lots of hooks in children's minds and give them plenty of material to use to infer meanings on their own.
First of all, I would like to approach FWW from the perspective of whether it falls into this category.
I realized that I had been inputting verbs as verbs and nouns as nouns, and I had not been at all conscious of the connections that form sentences.
The process of discovering a noun, combining it with a verb, and discovering the meaning of the verb was so exciting I couldn't stop!
I actually opened the fww and thought, wow, it's true!! What is this!! I would never have been aware of this if I hadn't listened to Yumemama's lecture!
I'm really excited to see what I can do for my daughter☺️
Because I learned about the native language input method through this course, I feel that I can now set up an environment that is more in line with the native language method and less stressful for children, rather than the previously known "Just input SP! TAC! Read books!"
I'm scared to think that if I hadn't taken Yume Mama's class, my daughter would have ended up in a stressful English environment. I want her to learn English in a fun and easy way, and I think she would be less likely to reject English.
I knew the term "mother tongue style" but I didn't really understand what it actually meant, but now I feel like it's become very clear. I definitely want to know about other keys.
After listening to this lecture, I realized that I didn't really understand what my mother tongue was in the first place.
I'm sorry that once I started writing, there was so much to write.
I realized the importance of making students aware of nouns.
Inputting nouns in relation to the situation and purpose. I was unclear about the native language method, but it was explained in relation to Japanese, so I understood it well. I realized that in Japanese, we use the same words that our parents use in the same situations. I realized that I could apply that to English as well.
He explained the system of the mother tongue method by using Japanese as an example, which we speak as if it were a matter of course, and for the first time I was able to think properly about Japanese. It made sense to me that English is the same as Japanese.
I thought it was an article to draw attention to the noun. I had never looked at it from that perspective.
I had never really thought about how important it is to learn nouns first.
My 4-year-old daughter has obtained Green CAP and is now aiming to obtain Blue CAP+. She is also in the Blue class at CFK, so I will carefully review her studies. At her pace, she seems likely to be able to complete the tasks in Lime and Yello, but her goal is not to obtain CAP, but to become bilingual! So I will stop and work on it carefully for a while. I have learned so much from the course, just from nouns, and I can't help but wonder about the remaining six keys.
With my one-year-old son, I plan to focus on teaching him sounds and the meanings of words.
I had heard that it was good to listen to music in the background a lot, but the course taught me the background and meaning behind it, and it changed my own attitude.
Thank you so much for giving me such an informative course for free.
I thought it was definitely a good idea to start paying attention to the point where you can find nouns.
Until now, I have not used articles much when speaking to my children (it's not my forte...), so I wanted to be conscious of using them without forcing it on them.
Noun ~ There are steps to noticing
Thank you for the free class lesson.
Since everyone living in Japan can speak Japanese, everyone will also be able to speak English if it is their native language.
I was overwhelmed by all the information and had lost my way, so I decided to go back to basics.
A specific way to improve the quality of your input. A way to learn by relating each situation.
Although my child had made progress in learning nouns and set phrases, I wondered how to bring him to the stage of being able to express himself freely. I realized that what we should focus on in our home is to be aware of the connection between nouns and verbs, and to expose him to the "meaning" and "grammar" of things other than the "sound."
Thank you for the free course.
This gave me the opportunity to reconsider how much I could achieve using DWE.
If it was very helpful
First, learn the theory! I just played the DVD or CD without thinking. I want to act after knowing the theory. I will try to observe what my child is trying to learn.
I see what "Rakotteiru" means! I thought it was interesting. It's not like understanding it from the context, but rather a way of guessing that is closer to the senses, and I think it's similar to the experience of learning English when you go on a short-term study abroad program. If I could let my child experience this, I think the next step in their learning would be more fun, and I would like to let them experience it.
I wondered if it was really okay to offer it for free... I was really touched by how enthusiastic Mio was.
How to find nouns, how to remember nouns in a scene... I did this naturally while doing DWE, but I was completely unconscious of it.
I think I'll be able to be more efficient from now on! ...I'm really curious about the other 6 keys lol
Due to my lack of understanding, I didn't notice anything particularly significant, so I'll try watching it again slowly today.
There are three elements of your mother tongue
1. Learning sounds
2) Learning the meaning of words
③ Grammar study
I learned this again through these words.
A pattern where you deliberately input sound
① I have a negative reaction to learning the meaning of English
② Understanding the meaning → Fixing the image
3) They have already developed their native language and have advanced listening skills.
I think my current situation is ②. Because I have only recently begun to understand the meaning, I would like to make full use of the related content.
thank you.
The articles in Blue are clues to help you find the nouns, and at the Blue stage you do not need to be able to distinguish between them.
It means that you need input that is relevant to each situation. It will help you to reconsider the input you are currently doing. It will make a difference in your future language expansion if you make an effort to be able to notice sounds and grammar on your own.
Linking words and actions
To learn other words by associating them with one word, and to expand one's vocabulary.
The mother tongue method is to learn grammar naturally, such as by finding clues to find nouns.
I bought a used DWE halfway through. I was worried because I didn't know what to analyze and how to analyze it. I was surprised and convinced, and I can only say that Yume Mama is amazing.
I was casually helping him understand, but when he discovered the order of articles, etc., → nouns, → verbs, and then expanded on it, I was stunned and enthralled...!!
I was impressed by how much theoretical research you have done into language acquisition. I wanted to hear more specifics.
Thank you very much! I'm a beginner at home English, so I thought it was good to memorize one verb in combination with various nouns! I'll review the order in which I work on the TAC cards from that perspective!
Recognizing words intuitively, such as subjects and objects
This is about input (starting with nouns) while being conscious of grammar.
The explanation of the relationship between nouns and verbs was very easy to understand and made sense to me.
It was an eye-opener for me to learn that before you can use articles, the possessive "'s", or prepositions, you need to develop the ability to guess that what follows is a noun when you see them!
I found it very insightful, but it was also difficult. I would have liked a few more examples.
I had thought that the only benefit of using the mother tongue during early childhood was that it allowed children to learn the language quickly, but when I heard about another benefit during the course, I was shocked to learn something new.
Using clues to input nouns was a new realization for me! I hadn't paid much attention to articles before, so it made me want to pay more attention to them.
I often hear about the native language method in DWE, but I don't think I've been able to understand it properly. I'm glad I was able to understand it properly this time. I'd like to use what I learned in my English at home again.
The content about using articles to find nouns was an eye-opener. I realized that it is more efficient to take smaller steps than you think and to come into contact with English with a purpose.
I just played the song, but I understood the essence of learning in the native language! First of all, I wanted to make a song list and play it for input in each scene.
I myself like English, and although my own thoughts about the DWE teaching materials were mostly the same as what I was already doing, I was amazed at how detailed the material was, and I read it while nodding in agreement many times. I think it's amazing that even things that you normally think about and do can be put into words using easy-to-understand examples, and are finished in a form that anyone can start using right away.
Learning nouns with the same purpose was a good opportunity to take another look at the fww that I don't usually use that much! And your voice was easy to listen to and comfortable. Thank you very much.
I had always thought that I had to learn how to use articles differently in blue, but it was an eye-opener to learn that it's okay to just use them as a clue to find the noun!
I have a deeper understanding of the Mother Tongue Method! I had never thought back on the process of how I acquired my mother tongue, so it was very easy to understand when you gave concrete examples.
It was an eye-opener to me to learn that there is no need to distinguish between different articles in blue, and that it can be used as a clue to find nouns.
I realized that it is important to look closely at the DWE teaching materials!
I'm having a hard time increasing my vocabulary, but I thought it was great to learn words and verbs by scene. It helps children to visualize the situation, and it's easier to write sentences by scene.
I also learned for the first time that words like "a" and "the" are like "~o" and "~ga" in Japanese, and serve as clues to the noun that follows. I was concerned about how to help my child remember this, but I decided not to worry too much about it and just go ahead.
As for the benefits of one's native language, I thought, "I see, that's certainly true." Of course, I think it's possible to learn to speak English even as an adult, but from the perspective of expanding the language, there is a clear difference between those who can speak it from an early age. I think the richness of life after that will be quite different. I often hear things like, "If the child wants to study abroad...", but I think that whether you know this or not makes a big difference in your way of thinking. I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to hear so many educational things.
I was able to reaffirm important things.
When learning verbs, you can understand the meaning by attaching related verbs to the noun from various angles.
As for practical applications, TAC also conjugates nouns by attaching various verbs to them, which is different from just letting TAC flow; it is used with a purpose, and we would like to try to imitate this.
Thank you very much🙇‍♀️
I wanted my child to learn English quickly because if he can learn a language quickly, he will be able to apply it intuitively and it will be easier.
I thought I had been taking in information up until now, but I had been wondering why it wasn't leading to output, and after taking this course it all made sense to me.
I realized that I needed high-quality input. Quality was the key.

Since taking the course, my perspective on FWW, cards, and posters that I hadn't used much before has completely changed. I didn't realize they were made intentionally, and I didn't care about them, so I didn't use them. I'm sure there are many more that I haven't noticed yet, so I'll keep using them while thinking about them.

I watched it over and over again during the period to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I think I was able to watch it so many times because there was a deadline. I'd like to watch it again for a few more hours and absorb it into my mind.

It was a good opportunity to rethink how we teach English at home. Thank you for this wonderful event.
I finally understood why my children and I had not been able to write sentences in English.
I knew that it was important to input information in a situation, but now I understand why and it has become clear how to play reenactment games! It was a shock to learn that the benefits of learning English early on are great, and that even if you learn it as an adult, there will be an irreversible difference.
I was surprised to learn that prepositions and articles are clues to find nouns. If you can guess even if you don't know the words, you can understand the flow of the story, and straight plays deepen your understanding of sentences. I once again realized that I need to work with a purpose.
In the future, I will be conscious of each situation and purpose and input. It will be cooler from now on, so I would like to go on a picnic and reenact the past, play with my children, and connect it to high-quality input. At that time, I will try my best to talk to my children while being conscious of articles and prepositions that are clues, and also touching on grammar.
How to use SA and SP
Until now, I have been sorting my TACs based on what seems easy to remember, but I will now try to sort them based on what is relevant.
I studied English in my childhood (Challenge English/Peppy Kids), but I didn't know if I was just memorizing words and understanding what the teacher was saying. I didn't know what they were saying, so I wanted to quit. I quit at the end of the first grade. After that, I used Challenge Touch to get in touch with English, but recently I took another DWE experience and I want to learn English! (I currently have a fourth grader, a second grader, and a one-year-old.) I really agree that the earlier the better.
In your native language, you learn the sounds, then the meaning of the words, and finally the grammar. I had never really thought about it before, but I realized that since Japanese is also learned in a similar order, the same can be applied to English.
The way to learn nouns and verbs was to make them memorize, so I learned that it is necessary to watch the DVD so that they can be discovered from sentences, and to use TAC and FWW to improve the quality. Also, I would like to devise a way to learn verbs in a related way, rather than just learning one noun at a time!!
I had been working on DWE vaguely and hadn't seen much results, so after listening to this lecture, I realized that this is what it was all about! I've rewritten it many times and will use what I've learned to improve my work! Thank you for giving me this opportunity!
When I used DWE, I didn't understand the purpose properly and I wasn't aware of it when I used the materials (I just let it flow), so I want to be aware of it and use it as a parent from today. I didn't really understand the purpose in the first place, so I'm glad I was able to learn about it. I'm very curious about the remaining six, since such important information is only one of the seven keys.
How to use TAC
I finally understood that the method and quality of input changes depending on whether the parents know or not. I realized how amazing Yume Mama is, she understands the mechanisms of language acquisition.
Since they haven't mastered the singular and plural forms yet, I thought they were still in blue, so I just kept doing blue, but that's not what they should be focusing on, I thought as I listened.
The point is that blue is an article followed by a noun.
Input is efficient according to purpose
Until now, I had thought about learning English little by little over time, but I have come to understand the benefits of studying intensively in a short period of time.
There are many posts on Instagram about learning English at home, but are they really based on native language methods?
It's not good to take in just any information!
I definitely think it's important to incorporate it into a situation and to use FWW and TAC!!! I've only been able to do TAC in order so I need to open the book and divide it up!
I had never really thought about nouns and verbs before, so I thought, "I see," and it made me want to make better use of the TAC cards and book!
I also learned the importance of implementing DWE. Thank you very much.
I realized that it is good to link words to things. At TAC, we were grouping things like animals, but I'm going to add words that go with the story of the DVD.
Thank you for letting me watch. There were many things I didn't know, so I took a lot of notes while watching.
I now understand why it is good to make children bilingual in their early childhood using the mother tongue method. Being aware of the mother tongue element has really changed my perspective on DWE! I never realized there was such a perspective.
As for helping children remember by making associations, my child definitely started singing the balloon song when he saw balloons...and when he saw a cake, songs and words related to birthdays, and the story of Pluto's birthday party came up...until now I'd just thought, "Oh, so this song comes up here! That's amazing!", but it seems that my child was properly memorizing the scenes.
I have realized these things, and from now on I will try to be more conscious of "each situation and each purpose" and review my daily efforts.
thank you very much.
I learned for the first time that the mother tongue method is not just about acquiring English through the mother tongue, but also about the benefits of the mother tongue and the subsequent expansion of the language. Knowing the benefits of being a mother tongue, which are different from studying and learning, I understood why the mother tongue method is necessary.
Also, when I heard about inputting information for each scene, I was watching my child and it made a lot of sense to me, so I was moved when I thought back on it. When I was working towards getting the blue cap, my child usually loves birthday parties, so I thought he would like the part about Pluto's birthday party, so I focused on that scene and worked on it for about a month. As expected, he liked it and memorized the content immediately, but since we only worked on it for about a month, I thought he would forget it after he got the cap... However, he did not forget the birthday hat, candle, and big bone that he learned there, even after several months, and in fact, he output it as words.
I wondered if it was because I like birthday parties, but I realized that it was because I remembered the situation that it stuck in my memory. Realizing this motivated me to create similar success stories for my future endeavors!
FWW helps you learn nouns and verbs.
Key points for learning nouns and verbs.
Once you learn nouns and then verbs, you will be able to form sentences with noun + verb.
To help students learn by associating one verb with various nouns.
Nouns are input according to the situation and purpose.
That's it, I thought to myself, "Aha!"
About the Mother Tongue Method
Thank you for letting me watch the free account! Until now, I had been classifying things by similar types, so I realized the importance of input for each situation. Also, I learned that starting to learn my native English early on changes the way I progress afterwards, and although I am currently working on it, I am not progressing as I would like, so I was just worried, but I feel a little hopeful that my efforts up until now have not been in vain.
Mio's way of speaking was very easy to follow and her explanations were easy to understand. Thank you very much!
TAC is a great way to collect the things you need for that scene and input them.
It's a clue
I always thought I didn't understand words, but English is the same as Japanese! The story of "ga" and "o" using fictional words as examples was very easy to understand and easy to imagine! But just watching DVDs and doing TAC blindly is no good! I felt like I was given a push in the right direction.
I realized that the relationship between nouns and verbs is important, and that the nouns to be used in each situation need to be input together as a group.
I hadn't been thinking about helping them understand grammar, so for the first time I was able to have the perspective of helping them notice the difference between nouns and verbs. It was easy to understand because I learned practical methods such as input for each situation.
Learn nouns and verbs as a set
I am a DWE user with a child in the input stage, and I was worried about how to proceed with Blue in my native language, but I thought, "I see!" about the relationship between nouns and verbs, so I participated in the TAC with words that appear in the same situation. I was very grateful for this opportunity. I want my child to become bilingual and enjoy the benefits of it, and I want to expand my world, so I decided to continue to enjoy learning with my child.
I had never thought about how to remember my native language, so I learned a lot.
I was able to reaffirm that DWE is truly a native language method.
Providing input on the scene
I felt that it was necessary to look for articles as well, not just nouns. It was easier to imagine the meaning by inputting words that matched the purpose.
I learned a lot from your detailed and specific explanation of what is necessary to learn English using your native language. Thank you very much.
I really understood the difference between learning English as a foreign language as an adult and learning English as one's native language. In my case, my native language is Japanese, and I can unconsciously imagine the meaning of unknown words using clues from words I know. I was excited and thrilled to think that this train of thought will occur in the future for children who learn English as their native language.
Also, I realized that the order in which you learn English is to start with nouns and then divide them into different situations! So I tried classifying the talk-along cards. I thought that to improve the quality of the input, I should organize the words in advance so that they are easy to take out and then memorize them. I think that it is easier to connect the images in your head and solidify the input by going through words that have a common theme, like a word association game, rather than going through the cards randomly.
I also thought it was good to combine verbs with various nouns when inputting them. I'll keep this in mind as I review the book.
Learning verbs, associating various verbs with one noun
We started DWE when my child was about 1 year old, but he continued to refuse the DWE videos and songs, and he started going to nursery school so we didn't have time. I wanted to use other teaching materials and have more fun together!
I learned that it's important not to just listen to a CD or watch a DVD, but to input information for each purpose and think about how to make use of the situation.
Even though I had been following Instagram and seeing the posts for quite some time, time just passed by without me making any progress.
I already have DWE, and I also purchased ZAM, but I was never able to get the most out of it, using the excuses that I was busy and tired.
Also, I've heard stories recently of people who learned English by studying abroad as high school students, and I've been thinking that it might be better to fully immerse yourself in the environment of studying abroad rather than half-heartedly studying like me. However, after taking this course, I've learned that there are many benefits to learning English at an earlier age, and I didn't want to waste the good materials available to me.
Noun → Verb Association
I was shocked to realize that even though I had been using DWE teaching materials up until then, I had been using them vaguely without really understanding their purpose.
I now understand the principles of the Mother Tongue method.
I might as well do it early! I was able to confirm the benefits of becoming bilingual. I also want to continue to be conscious of learning nouns and verbs as a set.
How to improve the quality of noun input. Rather than teaching articles and possessives, use them as clues to find nouns. I thought, "I see!" because this is something I tend to teach grammatically (in a non-native language).
I found it very convincing that one of the benefits of learning in one's native language during early childhood is that it is easier to find clues in the text when it is one's native language. I once again wanted to make sure that my young child learns English in the right way.
How can Yume-chan increase her knowledge of new technical terms and deepen her understanding by watching YouTube etc.? I only scratched the surface, but now I understand.
I learned a lot about how to improve the quality of noun input. I was convinced that input should be done by situation and purpose rather than by type, and that using articles to find nouns was important. I'm going to try it right away!
Find lots of nouns combined with verbs. Input them in situations.
A baby in the womb recognizes words as just sounds and does not think that they have meaning. It is only when the words and actions are linked that the baby realizes that they have meaning.
I learned for the first time that nouns are more memorable when classified by the situation in which they are used, rather than by type. I would definitely like to make use of this.
I realized that I wasn't inputting the information in sentences, but rather in words, and I am reflecting on this.
Infer meaning from the context of the word. At first, articles are used to help you notice nouns.
I understood that articles and prepositions are clues to find nouns. I was conscious of "a" and "an" when talking to children, and I moved dolls while saying prepositions (on the cup, under the cup, etc.), but it was an eye-opener to see that it wasn't the same thing.
We looked at the FWW words and called them out together, and played with a doll by moving it back and forth saying forward and backward, but I realized that it was meaningless unless I spoke to the child in sentences rather than just words, and he or she found the nouns and verbs on his or her own.
He is currently 2 years and 1 month old. He has started to speak English, but often only speaks words. I wanted to make sure he understood the language well so that he would not stop at words.
You input information for each situation and purpose. I was inputting it blindly. I would like to try to find nouns using articles as clues and write short sentences with that in mind. It was an eye-opener to learn that children's ability to discover things on their own is not taken away! Thank you very much. It's amazing that you teach so theoretically. I'm curious to know how Yume Mama is researching.
I realized that the words I input serve as clues for the new words I need to learn, and that this helps me learn a new language! I was amazed at how amazing it is to learn a language using your native language!
After listening to various things, I decided to change the order of TAC! I'll try combining nouns and verbs!
I had somehow grouped the tac, but I had never thought of separating them into categories that could be used in the same situation (because my child loves tac).
Reproduce each scene and input each purpose! I want to put it into practice! I felt that I was wasting my time because I was just showing my child how to speak little by little.
I was able to understand the essence of the mother tongue method.
I would like to consciously incorporate these three points into my studies!
I was struck by the fact that it is efficient to input information scene by scene. I certainly feel that children are remembering pictures and memorized sentences by linking them through picture books other than DWE. After attending the lecture, I feel like it all makes sense.
From listening to Yume-chan's mother's talk, I knew that the DWE teaching materials were linked, but I didn't know what purpose Sing Along was for, so I couldn't use it properly. After watching this course, I realized that all the teaching materials have a purpose. After watching the course, when I looked at the teaching materials, I saw them in a completely different way than before.
I realized the importance of finding nouns, finding verbs, and connecting nouns and verbs.
I wanted to use DWE with meaning, purpose, and consideration for relevance.
I realized how little I knew about the mother tongue method. I was surprised to learn that parents' approaches to their children change if they don't know how they will learn.
If you close your eyes and try to understand it, can you visualize the image?
I've been doing this for four years, but I realized that the quality of my input was not good. Until now, I had been inputting nouns without thinking deeply about the difference between nouns and verbs. I combined nouns and verbs, linked them together, and used them in conjunction. First of all, I was at a loss as to what to do, so I would like to review my input and read a book to break through this situation!
Spreading as much as one's native language
I thought that I was not able to make good use of DWE because I didn't understand the theory.
How to teach English to infants at home
Utilizing FFW
Rather than grouping verbs together, you link related ones together. It makes sense to me that you can develop the idea from there.
I understood everything! I took a lot of notes. I always had trouble deciding which DVD to play, and I would play them randomly and without any regularity, so I'm going to use the differences in meaning I learned this time to help me choose a DVD.
I had never paid any attention to any of the stories, so it was an eye-opener. I never knew that just one noun could be so profound. Looking back, I think I've been making my students memorize nouns by themselves. I'm going to rearrange the TACs and take a look at the teaching materials right away.
I had never thought about the meaning of "reproduce!", so it made me realize! I think Mio's ability to put it into words is amazing.
I learned the process of learning using the mother tongue method. I would like to approach this strategically.
I'm using a used DWE, but I didn't know how to proceed. I feel like I've learned what to be aware of and what to prioritize when recreating each scene. First of all, I'd like to use TAC to input clues such as nouns and verbs.
This gave me the opportunity to think about the true essence of DWE. I knew that it was a teaching material created based on the theory of the mother tongue method, but I didn't know it meant anything like this, and I got goosebumps thinking about the benefits and how important the process of absorbing it is.
When I look at Instagram, I see super kids and even though I don't mean to compare myself to them, I get depressed about the speed at which they're growing, and sometimes I want to be sure that my child will be okay if we continue on like this. After watching this free course, I understand that as long as you use the materials correctly, there is a great possibility that anyone can become bilingual. I will not let the information I received go to waste, and I will put it into practice as soon as I can! Thank you very much.
I was surprised to learn that articles and prepositions are clues to understanding nouns. I wonder if that's why there are so many preposition + color + nouns in DWE, such as "a red balloon." My child wasn't interested in FWW, so we didn't open it much, but it lists nouns and verbs to use in different situations and for different purposes, and I thought it would be useful for recreating situations.
I thought it might be possible to combine the TAC cards to make use of them, for example by combining one verb with various nouns.
I didn't know what to do when my daughter refused to watch DWE DVDs (especially the straight plays), so I decided to play with her using posters, TAC, FWW, etc.
I was particularly impressed by the part that said the earlier you become bilingual, the greater the various learning benefits of your native language.
I see, it's not about learning words, but about learning grammar! I think if I try to learn English like I learned Japanese, I'll be able to see the future. I've been doing it since I was 0 years old, but I gave up because I couldn't speak it even though I understood it, and I didn't speak it, but I'm going to try again! I thought that any English would be fine, but I'm going to use DWE to the fullest!
Good evening☆
Sorry for the late reply, I was just about to watch it.
As you mentioned at the beginning of the video, I too have the study materials but am unable to use them properly, and I continue to get anxious and spin my wheels.
My older brother hates English, and my younger son is also influenced by him, so we are not able to study English well. However, I heard about a way to improve the quality of input, and I wanted to try it.
I realized that I had not been putting into practice the idea of adding various nouns and prepositions to a single verb so that students could learn its meaning on their own.
I also realized how important episodic memory is!
English education is important up to elementary school age
Input information according to the situation and purpose.
I felt that we were not doing enough to simply go through the TAC in order, but rather to go through each scene according to its purpose, and to be mindful of the connections!
It's important to have a balance between listening, watching, and talking, and it really depends on the mother's feelings (ultimate goals and objectives) and motivation.

The first thing that shocked me was the statement that in this age where there is so much content available, people jump on all the information about English at home.
It's me 🤣

Yume Mama's observation skills...
It's just too amazing.
My dream!

I will do my best to raise my child while also raising myself!
Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to work on [The Seven Keys].
I will put it into practice!
Before I knew it, I had started worrying about things like meaning and grammar, and I realized that I should increase the amount of input that is linked to the situation at hand.
I was really impressed by Yume Mama's story in "Home English is LASIK" where she looked at the starry sky and said that changing yourself can change the way you see the world! We tend to compare ourselves to others, but it's important to change ourselves first.
And the sooner the better! That is something I am experiencing with my second son.
After watching this course, I think I can learn more nouns and verbs! I immediately brought out my FWW and FAG, which I had been storing away, and started playing with them together♪
Also, the idea that articles and the plural "s" are clues to finding nouns was an eye-opener for me!!
I also realized that I don't have to fix it just because it's wrong, so I felt relieved.
(Surprisingly, my eldest son never had any issues with this, so maybe this input came naturally!)
I'll think about how to use teaching materials that will help my sons find clues on their own!
Sorry for the late reply!
I had a big misconception that the native language method meant that I should just have the water running continuously from a young age.
There are many parts of the DWE teaching materials that I am not yet able to use properly, but I was able to easily understand the explanation about FFW in particular, so I will start using it from today.
I've memorized them by type, so I'll try to remember them by association.
The process by which children learn words and language. I had never paid much attention to it, but it made sense to me.
I decided to make more use of FWW.
I'm sorry for replying after the deadline.

I've recently been feeling the importance of connecting things to everyday life and experiences. I went to a DWE summer camp, and I remembered the songs and phrases that were there so well that I often sing and talk about them at home. Also, at events like camps, we often add movement to the phrases in the songs, and I was able to understand words that I hadn't been able to hear or understand before, and I was able to speak them clearly.

Therefore, this course allowed me to personally experience that linking things to everyday life is a very effective tool.
There are different ways to memorize a language
Native language input
Really good input

When I heard that learning in one's native language would have a great benefit to later learning English, this made a lot of sense to me.
I was surprised that instead of teaching words, I made them discover them by themselves. I wanted them to remember quickly, so I taught them. I realized the value of using materials that I had thought of as just vocabulary books.
It was difficult and I ended up not being able to understand it.
Articles, prepositions, and more to find nouns!!
For nouns, use clues (articles, possessives, prepositions) to guess the word. For verbs, combine various verbs with nouns and make them related to each other. It was an eye-opener for me to think that if parents have a different perspective, they will also talk to their children differently.
I am a little worried about whether my son will have an explosive period at age 4, but I have realized that I have been neglecting to educate myself because I have been busy.
I learned that it's good to learn a language by making associations.
It was really easy to understand how to link nouns and verbs and conjugate them.
In order to become bilingual, I had been taking in some information and going by intuition, but after watching this free course and learning the theory, my mind was organized and I was able to clarify what I need to do now. Also, by learning the theory, I was reminded that the DWE materials are logical, so I will work on recreating each situation and expanding my input from nouns to verbs so that I can make good use of them.
Sorry for the late response.

"Improve the quality of your input"
So, you can remember them by associating them.
I thought that made sense.
Examples of image memory
It was very easy to understand.
With that in mind, DWE's "picnic" and other
The color theme is
It's well thought out.
I thought about it again.
Sorry for the late reply, I'm not a child, but for reference
I watched it. I thought that you learn from nouns and words, so by adding verbs, it leads to understanding the meaning and increasing your vocabulary! At the same time, I thought it was a little too late for elementary school students.
I think the three foundations of the mother tongue method are certainly true for Japanese as well.
Everything was a learning experience!!!
Steps in understanding words
I learned that there are different types of inputs.
I'm just starting out and there's too much information.
I couldn't organize it.
It's easy to remember if you find something that can be used according to a purpose! When I looked at the fww, I realized that this was indeed the case and that I was looking at it unconsciously.
It's easier to input information if you remember it by relating it to each situation based on the structure of your native language. The points on how to conjugate in each situation and learn nouns and verbs gave me goosebumps.
From start to finish, I couldn't stop nodding in agreement. I gained a new perspective on the explanation of the mother tongue method and the DWE materials, and when I was asked to open the Pluto page on FWW, I was shocked and thought, "It's true!!" Thank you for such a useful course.
I couldn't see
I found it difficult to grasp the abstract nuances, but I somehow understood it. However, it's difficult to put it into action, so I'm not sure what to do...
I was able to learn more about the Mother Tongue Method.
When I was watching my child's growth on Instagram etc., I was so preoccupied with "how to do it."
As I looked back at the DWE teaching materials, understanding the intent based on theory, I was constantly finding myself saying "I see."
I wanted to talk, but I couldn't get past "What is this?", but after listening to this Impossible Course, I tried to prove the need to sow the seeds of nouns in the first place...
Sentences and emotions just come out!!!
I became interested in linked teaching materials from the beginning and realized that sentences such as verbs can be connected from there.
There's still so much I don't know,
There's still a lot to observe,
There is still room for growth!!
It was something that made me think that way ^_^
I learned the importance of consciously inputting sentences that connect single words with verbs, and then linking that to output.
I feel like I have a better understanding of the true meaning of the Mother Tongue Ceremony.
I wasn't able to listen to the end, but I thought what was mentioned about the three elements of one's native language was important.
I realized that it's a simple thing but I had never really thought about it. I was also relieved to learn when sing-alongs are effective, as I had never really thought about the existence of sing-alongs before.
I hadn't considered the importance of articles, and I tend to forget them when I speak, so I want to be more conscious of them.
I was convinced by the method for improving the quality of noun input, but it is quite difficult to actually put it into practice in our busy daily lives, so I would be very grateful if I could learn more specific methods.
I thought, "I see!" when I realized that understanding syntax gives you the ability to intuitively guess the meaning of words.
The article is used to judge the noun!
My son is currently at the stage where he is starting to use nouns. I'm watching to see how it goes from here, but I think that just like Japanese, the input of nouns is overwhelmingly important, and then you can attach verbs and master the grammar. From then on, I'm trying to be a little more conscious of using the same verbs repeatedly when talking to him and finding them in picture books and DVDs. Thank you for this valuable video.
I apologize for the late response to the survey.
I now have a more concrete understanding of the importance of collaboration, something that Yume Mama always talks about on Instagram.

(I thought I had answered the survey, but I was worried so I answered it again.)
I'm sorry. I was hospitalized with morning sickness and couldn't watch it.
I thought I wouldn't know unless I closely watched my child's growth.
Becoming bilingual early on allows you to enjoy the benefits of being bilingual (an expanded vocabulary) for a long time to come.
The Importance of the Mother Tongue Approach
It feels like it's all wrapped up in a sugar coating, and I don't really get it.
Sorry for the late reply.
Thank you for letting me take your mini course.
Due to a problem with my cell phone, there were some parts that I wasn't able to hear, but I was taught important methods for improving the quality of my noun and verb input and for looking for clues.
I was doing it without really understanding how it all worked, but I think I'll be able to do it if I raise my awareness.
thank you very much.
I came to understand the principle of the mother tongue method and that DWE is ultimately a mother tongue method.
I would like to know if there are any books or research topics that you referred to during the course. Just listening to the course is passive, so it would be helpful to know the details so that I can verify and think for myself.
I thought I was practicing English at home, but I wasn’t able to…
Anyway, I felt that a mother's motivation and positivity have an impact on her child.
