# Pimsleur Spanish I, Unit 1 — converted to FORMAT v2. # Source: ASR transcript of "Spanish I - Unit 01.mp3" (see ~/projects/pimsleur-study/). # # Pimsleur is an audio L1->L2 method: an English narrator CUES the learner to # PRODUCE Spanish, pauses, then a native speaker CONFIRMS. Mapping to v2: # - the target conversation -> $DIALOGUE (REPEAT = listen & say back) # - the graduated-interval-recall -> $PRODUCE (INPUT: speak, CHECK: reveal): # drills the PROMPT is the English meaning cue, # the RESPONSE is the Spanish to produce. # Modules are monolingual in the TARGET language; the home-language PROMPT cues # here are intrinsic to a translation-production course. Spanish translations # (and TTS clips) are added downstream by enrichment. $MODULE Pimsleur Spanish I · Unit 1 FORMAT: 2 DIOCO_DOC_ID: pimsleur_es1_unit01 DESCRIPTION: Unit 1 — excuse me, understanding, and speaking a little Spanish (perdón, entiende/entiendo, hablo/habla, español, un poco, norteamericano).
