Who are you with? What’s happening around you? What do you need right now? What are you feeling? What’s the weather like? What are your plans for the day? What did you learn today? What’s new?
I started a Spanish conversation group at our church with a few people who speak Spanish so we could practice speaking. I’m not fluent. We had a husband/wife come and say, hola we’re here to learn Spanish, lol. I’m also not a Spanish teacher. I brought one of my matrix tabs to the group so I could practice talking on the topic that night so I gave them a copy and we started practicing. This 3 question approach will help me keep it focused. I mentioned your approach to our Spanish missionary (Guatemala). She’s been a Spanish teacher a long time and she really liked it.
Some language trainers call these islands, I use hourly routine to cement acquisition of verbs with your matrix method. Well done Tony. I like your reference to fixed and variables.
I really love your videos bro, since I started noticing your channel I can say I have more clarity in my own language learning, thank you for your videos and hope you can continue sharing your knowledge about language learning, your experience helps me a lot!
Hi, both are good. Opened questions are just slightly more challenging than yes/no questions because with yes/no questions the answer is embedded in the question, while with opened questions the answer is not necessarily embedded in the question. Both are good practice, open ended questions are just more "weight", offering more resistance.
Hello Tony found you channel just last week and this is such great information. Iam a British man who came to Thailand as a student 10 years ago and stayed my level of Thailand is bad i lack confidence in speaking is there a methodology that can build skills in speaking without fearing mistakes. And immersion how long should one listen to a language thank you tony.

Glad to hear that, Tim
This makes a lot of sense! Thanks for this.
You're welcome, I'm very happy to hear that.
Started making a matrix chart half way through the video. Always enjoy your teaching. I can see how easy it is to come up with plenty to say.

Excellent Tony, thanks.
Thank you, Tony.
Thank you!
Thank you very much ... I'm nonplussed by the viewership on this video; I guess the less I try, the better a video does. Truly, thank YOU.
So, the idea is to use open-ended questions instead of close-ended questions?
