Even learning that "tion" makes a Shun sound, is part of the phonetics for example. Emotion.

Yes They would. Definitions are still required.

@Elliott For example, Let's say I am reading a book and I see a word I have never seen before. I can read it perfectly because I know what the combination of letters does in English. So I can read it and then know what word it is, and probably what it means basically.

Yes, at a deeper level phonetics also helps with understanding the meaning of words too.

When I sound it out I know how to spell it I mean. I mean sounding out the words to spell. Also to read, yeah. Because I know what the letters and combination of letters sounds like I can read and write through spelling things out. I sound out the words to read and spell. Instead of memorizing words, I know what the letters and combination of letters sounds like. I have a literacy of not just sentences of words, but the sentence structure WITHIN the words.

It's weird though, I can't seem to find the system of symbols with a basic google search. I would like to remember the system I learned in my tutoring as it was a specific one. Edit: I asked what system it was to my sister's boyfiend because he apparently learned the same one but it doesn't look that familiar but this could be it here.

@DocWatts Yes, my tutor taught me this. Thank you for clarifying. My tutoring in phonetics was one of the best things my mother ever did for me. I'll always be grateful for that. I wouldn't be able to read without it. The consequences of a lot of people (including Leo apparently) not knowing how to read and write English properly is pretty scary. Of course, they can write properly, but they don't really understand how the words make the sounds they make! What the fuck. It really blows my mind to think how many different ways there could be of grasping a language.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read you say. However, I acknowledge it's your second language and you learned it in the US education system. But, what you have said here and how limited your understanding of English is pretty amazing.

When I read what you wrote it seems like you are contradicting yourself. Just to be clear are your saying that sounding words out is the wrong way to teach kids to read? Because I think I have a unique perspective on this. I recall learning to spell words out in school. I also recall really struggling to learn to read until about grade 4 I could barely read anything at all. This was until I began receiving 1 on 1 tutoring my mother began paying for for me. What actually made the big difference for me was learning a phonetic library, which I think is counter to what you and Leo are saying. What ultimately helped me learn to read, and HIGHLY accelerated my reading in a short period of time (I was assessed in grade 6 to have a grade 12 reading level) was that I learned to read words sounding them out and learning a very detailed phonetic alphabet which included mouth shapes etc on these little cards with associated sounds and the letters. This highly, highly accelerated my ability to read and write English and has left with me a very strong intuition on how to spell and read English words that simply memorizing would never do. @Leo Gura My direct experience shows what you are saying to be wrong. There are very consistent phonetic rules in English that make sounding out words the right way to go. However, I noticed very stark differences in teaching this in the class room vs how I learned it in my 1 on 1 tutoring. How it is taught in the classroom I recall didn't not provide the phonetic library I was showed in my tutoring sessions. There phonetic system that exists in English, but not in languages like Chinese. So you are really wrong on that. After receiving this tutoring I also no longer had to practice for spelling tests and essentially aced them but cause I knew how to spell every single word based on it's sound and phonetics. Now that I am older I don't have explicit memory of these phonetic cards etc... but a highly attuned intuition. I do not memorize words in English I sound them out. Every single one even as I write this.

@UnbornTao That isn’t conformity in and of itself though

I think the episode may be repetitive which makes it overly long. Still good but perhaps could be 3hrs.

But I just wanna be giga-me

@Leo Gura

I like this song but my family and many friends hate it. Thoughts?

Oh the paradox!! Leo is being himself so I will too!!! Ahhhhhh

Yeah like a Book? What’s with having it as a website

I will: 1. Read those websites over the next 12 months (Metarationality and Meaningfulness) 2. watch that video series from https://www.actualized.org/insights/john-vervaekes-lecture-series 3. also do the reading of Wikipedia for the emotions you posted a long time ago TA

This is my second fav. Though, I admit I don’t like 99% of their stuff or am familiar with it I just know a handful I think are schizo industrial hip hop bangers. “Ah, know what I’m saying? FUCK IT!”

This video will help you understand Death Grips.

@Leo Gura Do you think people watching them in sections distorts the stats you see? A four hour video could take me a week and many small sessions to watch. I’m not sure how YouTube calculates if I watched the whole thing or not. Though, it makes sense most don’t watch it all.

@Ramasta9 This whole thread is a joke on how everyone has different music taste. That is the whole point! (It’s in the fun and off topic section) I sell mirrors to those who like Death Grips. Half the fun for me is how much I like Guillotine and how much people around me seem to dislike it. 50 hours!!! Gooooo!!!! YUH
