Reading texts, which incorporate the information and structures presented in the dialogs, provide basic information about Kazakhstan and Kazakh culture. Footnotes in English provide explanations on the usage of idiomatic expressions, grammar, and cultural notes. Students are suggested to first listen to the dialogs spoken by native speakers in the video and audio recordings. The reading texts also have audio recordings. Students can listen to whole texts, individual sentences and individual words at any time and as many times as they like.
Users also have access to the English translations of words and sentences.
Footnotes help users to learn about both the grammatical and cultural aspects of spoken Kazakh. After learners achieve full comprehension of the text and the grammar they can turn to the exercises to solidify the lesson material. By using this interactive multimedia learning environment, you will be able to effectively acquire basic Kazakh language skills including listening, speaking, reading and writing skills. We hope you will enjoy this new approach to learning about Kazakh language and culture.
