Typical Day's Routine

(If it's your first day, you skip the review steps.)
1. Review the recordings you made yesterday.
Anything you want to improve?
2. Before starting today's new recordings of
the new sentences from the last four days,
first listen to the GMS C files to find any
pronunciations you want to improve.
3. Now record the sentences from the last four
days as review.
4. Now listen to the B files for the oldest
review sentences (interpretation training). Try
to translate each sentence without using your
text in the space provided. If you fail, don't
give up. Mass practice is better than perfect
practice. Don't let one or two sentences keep
you from progressing.
5. If you feel tired or burned out, then there's
no need to do new sentences today.
(If it's your first day, you can start here.)
6. Prepare 10-50 new sentences, depending
on your time limit and what you're
comfortable with. Look them over in the
book, then listen to the accompanying
GMS A File.
7. Now use either the A files or C files to
write down your new sentences. Try to do
this without looking at the book. If you're
learning a new script, make sure you can
do this in IPA or phonetics before trying to
master a new script so you don't miss any
sounds.
8. Listen to the sentences one more time,
then record them yourself. Come back
tomorrow and check your recordings.
9. For added benefit, use the accompanying
GSR files.

If you're actively recording 200-400 sentences per day, you should reach conversational fluency
in about 100-200 days depending on the person.

RELAXED METHOD (GSR Files)

All repetitions and review are self-contained. This is for people who do not have time to use a
book, do dictation, or do recordings.

For best results, try to repeat as much as you can. Don't worry if you miss a sentence. Repeat
it when you start to feel comfortable with how it sounds. Always have at least one deep sleep
between each session, and no more than 2 sleep session between each recording. If you haven't
listened in a few days, back up a few lessons and start again.

Sample Routine
Day 1: Listen to GSR File called Day 1
Day 20: Listen to GSR File called Day 20... etc.

Fluency 1
This GMS Fluency Series accompanies the GMS recordings
and is a supplementary course assisting you on your path to
fluency. This course fills in the fluency training that is lacking
from other courses. Instead of advancing in the language via
grammar, GMS builds up sentences and lets students advance
via the full range of expression required to function in the
target language.

GMS recordings (sold separately) prepare the student through

translation and interpretation to become proficient in speaking
and listening.

Glossika Spaced Repetition (GSR) recordings are strongly

recommended for those who have trouble remembering the
content. Through the hundred days of GSR training, all the text
in each of our GMS publications can be mastered with ease.
