A Good First Step
Whether you intend to spend a short or long term working
in another culture, Probe could be just what you need. It's
a short course to help you discover and evaluate your ability
to work cross-culturally. As such - it's our most popular
course.
This 5 day course will give you:
- a taste of linguistics
- an introduction to translation
- new methods for learning a language
- a window on other cultures
In the process, you'll come across a few strange (but important)
terms and words like:
Phonetics - identifying, reproducing and writing speech
sounds.
Phonology - analysing sounds to create a practical alphabet.
Grammar - working out the structure of languages.
Language Learning - how to learn a language with maximum
fluency.
Anthropology - how and why people behave as they do.
Literacy - teaching reading in pre-literate communities.
Translation and Semantics - accurate, natural translation
and discovering meaning.
Computer - technology for linguistic analysis, translation
and publishing.
