Speaker 2:Hey everybody, welcome back to another edition of the VA Sales, kennel Kelp, melissa Keeling Hour with your host and moderator, me, graham Pabelle. Welcome one and all, many of you by our invite. We're a clickable, a listening audience. You've got a good audience, one and all. We are growing and we're growing exponentially, exponentially with your help by paying it forward and doing so. We appreciate you doing that. If you do like our YouTube channel, please physically like it, subscribe to it, share it and the three attempts that these daily podcast shows, likewise social media, and it's for the greater premise of networking and its tourist form, for the greater good of changing some old systems, mindsets, always about food for the mind, the body and the soul. Today we'll be here. I like to try to keep them around 30 minutes and again, as the old saying used to go, it's not an exact science world and probably more out the bowl now than ever, don't you think? So we'll try to keep it around 30 minutes. If we go over a tad, that's okay and we may stay self of it. So, before we take the 10 second break, I'll open up in the first segment revisiting how I utilize these shows for many things now and for retirement, but also and thank you for yourself and gratifying to allow me to do so the built in way for me to incorporate how I'm self teaching myself Mandarin and I'll elaborate on that right after the break and that will be the essence of this show for today and we'll be here for about I'm going to try real hard for 30 minutes. So we'll take this 10 second break and I'll come back and talk about a couple of the ideas that I've done and am doing. That hopefully will facilitate me in ways that I can practice the words sort of on a daily basis. We'll be right back. Hey everybody, and welcome back and thanks for doing so.
Speaker 2:This is also a main, as in the state that I reside, the main mentor of moment In business and in life, a little bit more so in life for my own particular demographic of. So I try to share stories every day as mentor, a mentor, perceived mentor, an old dinosaur, someone that's been there, done that, whatever amongst the many monikers of attained and bankalled or whatever in life Little bit of levity, but it's a main mentor moment in life and in business, if you will. Just how in my own bucket list of retirement, how I'm trying to do these enrichment programs for the self enrichment and the enjoyment and the appreciation I do, the medical side of it, the history side of it, things that intrigue me, the coin collecting when we talk about that, the shows and the health and wellness forever. So one of the many things that I've said in the mentor moments over the last five and a half years here at these shows, every single day, is some of the things we've thrown out. Make 24 hour days, 27 hour days, figuratively, and you know, crowd as much in as you can, be the most productive that you can, whatever you're doing, a lot of the debut. Well, I try to do that now in retirement to maintain my focus, my cognitive abilities, my lack thereof with the advancement of chronology, and you know, the outside breakdown of the Shebbies and all the things we talk about over at my holistic healing hour show. So one of which of the many, depending on you, know how long the marathon of life lasts for me. I intend to be around a while longer. One never knows. So I have many aspirations for things that I want to do and how I want to do them. Self teaching, mandarin is one of them, and I've highlighted archival shows when the time is right and so forth. My granddaughter will also be helping me out with that. She has a very matriculated agenda of her own. She still has two calendar years of high school and somewhere in between I'm in no rush around her timeframe. We talked about that, her and I, and what that would do for bullet points on a resume and so on and so forth for secondary education, which she aspires to do. She has a plenty of time. So in the interim I'm trying to impress her when I get the opportunity to do so, to get to a point where I can at least say a few words with her. So through that and this is no brilliant revelation of my own, it's a well-known process within many programs. A lot of what I do is triggered for me.
Speaker 2:God bless the doctor, anthony Mativier, the Magnetic Memory Method. I was blessed to have him come into my life just about the tail end of the last calendar year, the beginning of this one. I immediately signed up for his Magnetic Memory Method course. I knew it was something I wanted and I took the free PDF. You know the Office of the Free PDF. He's been on my show twice. He will be on my show again and we like to try. I like to try to embrace it around as he releases his new books and there's another one upcoming that we'll probably talk about when he gets here to do so. Stay tuned for that. But I incorporate a lot of the methods I learned within his course.
Speaker 2:So what I'm going to encompass here is take another 10 second break because I want to try to keep this modulated, pace-wise and not lose anybody. With all due respect, I want to try to highlight in the closing moments, as we get towards the 20 minutes, about Post-it notes and how I'm going to label items for me that were involved in my past tense business life long ago Jacob Marley in life and business, animal and human supplementation and I'm down in my warehouse and I'll probably do a video about this, showing the Post-it notes Actually putting them on different banners, signage and stuff that reference dogs, dog rescue, pat rescue, animal rescue and moment therapy. I think that's the handful I'm going to try to incorporate in this segment today. So let's take that 10 second break. We'll come back and make a little bit more someone's sense out of this and we'll do so momentarily. I'll be right back, thank you. Okay, welcome back and let's segue into how I try to encompass this version of my daily show and we'll continue wherever we don't get in today and the subject up non-archivaly and continuing moving forward. So again, welcome to the show today and thanks for doing so.
Speaker 2:So this is about the techniques for self-teaching Mandarin. I'm still your host, grandpa Bill, and I really enjoy attempting and I love the histrionics of it all on how anybody teaches themselves the language and or does it formally and native tongue and so on and so forth. So I'm a big proponent of that and I'm passionate about helping people. Anyway, that I can, if there are tidbits that you might not be aware of, or wherever you are in teaching your own language, or you may want to encompass it, or many of you, if you're a virtuoso, as are many of my guests that have been and are language teachers, the French guy, anjou Brighto, two times over great sense of humor. We had some fun, he you know down to earth very much. No problem with me, it's all in fun folks, it's all in fun levity. In any event, I believe that Mandarin is indeed a beautiful and rewarding language and it is the most spoken language in the world.
Speaker 2:One of the best things that I've found about self-teaching Mandarin is that I can definitely tailor it to my learning abilities or lack thereof, or to my needs and my interests in the histrionics of it, which also got me fascinated by it. Because of my granddaughter's total fascination with the culture I've talked about at the coin shows before, I've given her a couple of Mandarin Chinese history coins and she loves the history of it. She did quite well in language herself. She speaks it, writes it. She's actually taking Japanese in her junior year and we'll go back to whatever Mandarin 2, 3, whatever they'll call it as academia moves forward, and again in some interim period good Lord willing, in the creek don't rise, which is my objective for doing all these things to stick around and see her get to that point. She'll help me along the way when the time's appropriate.
Speaker 2:So one of the best things about self-teaching Mandarin, in my opinion, is that I can definitely tailor it to my schedule, self-inflicted by design and my techniques. So some of the tips that I incorporated through a lot of reading and practicing through Dr Matevious program and his videos and his suggestions for books, and I've sought out a couple online myself. I've listened to native tongue speakers. I have not gotten to that juncture where I've sought one out to practice it, all things on the proverbial drawing board and again, for me there's no degree of urgency other than sticking around to do so, to do it at my own pace, my own leisure, and I mean that and we talked about it. I don't have a prerequisite for a job to be bilingual or whatever, and I do think that's going to be more prevalent moving forward now in the new world. We talked about that.
Speaker 2:As far as mentor moments in business and life, you may have to be trilingual, really seriously, and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that. So my perspective and my degree of urgency and pace and so forth, it allows me to be able to do that with you know, enough outside pressures for all of us. I try not to inflict that on me. It's not a contest, it's. I don't have anything to prove or I'm not in school, I don't have to. You know, hey, I got to do this right First. I get a big exam coming up, thank the Lord, thank the Lord.
Speaker 2:So anyway, what I've read and concur and I'm trying to do, I can start with opinion. An opinion is a Romanized Asian system for Mandarin and it's a great way to learn the basics of pronunciation of the words and that whole language. For those of you that know which is going to be my biggest struggle is the tonal inflection of how you say the words and their derivation of an alphabet. There isn't one, but the scripting of the language. That's way down the road for me, way down the road for me. So the opinions for me are kind of encompassed this way. So any opinion, if you will, is indeed the Romanization system for Mandarin or your language of choice or whatever you're doing with that opinion. So it's a great way to learn the basics of pronunciation and there are many resources available online. I just, you know, alluded to some in archivaly along the way I've been talking about this, and in libraries to help you learn opinion. And again, I've been in Trenton, Dr Anthony's Metivier's program now ten months and running, and I couldn't recommend him more highly. And, yeah, that would be my suggestion.
Speaker 2:Learn the tones. Meanderan is a tonal language, which means that the meaning of a word can change depending on the tone used, and there are four tones in and of themselves in meanderan and it's important to learn how to pronounce them correctly, which is what I'm working on. So if you want to learn basic grammar. Once you have a basic understanding of opinion in tones, you can start learning basic meandering grammar and there are many resources again available online and in libraries. Dr Anthony Metivier and many fine books. He recommends many of them in programs to help you learn meandering grammar and he's fluent in meandering and we had some fun on my show with me attempting to do an intro in meandering. It was fun, it's fun.
Speaker 2:You have to be self-effacing, you know, and for me, try, try again has been the model of my life for a number of reasons. In my metaphor in life, a winner never quit, a quit a winner never wins. Immerse yourself in the language. I'm trying to do that. One of the best ways to learn meandering is to immerse yourself in the language as much as possible. This means surrounding yourself with meanderan speakers and meanderan media. I am trying to do both. You can watch Chinese movies and TV shows. Not quite there yet. I have dabbled a little tiny bit in listening to some Chinese music and I haven't really per se read Chinese books and or articles yet I've glanced at excerpts from both within my repertoire.
Speaker 2:So let's take another 10 second break and when I come back I'm going to show examples of the five or six words that I'm going to try to put on post-it notes and put the post-it notes on the pictures of the banners in the background of my warehouse. That encompasses what I did in life and that's how I entered this magnetic memory method. That was one of the first suggestions that I asked Dr Mateviati way back in the infancy in early January to observe one of my videos and if he could help me, you know gear into what I was aiming for and the rest was proverbial history. So we'll be right back, we'll go through those words, we'll go through the post-it note process. This audio radio show will accompany a YouTube video where I'll do just that, be putting the post-it notes on those said banners. And I believe the five or six keywords before we go to break are going to be pet rescue. Apropos for the said poster, aromatherapy again. Apropos for the said poster, coffee. Apropos for a great big burlap sack bag of empty that I have from a former business life and dog and cat, I think are the words for today's little episode. We'll be back in 10 seconds and we will wrap it up in about another 10 when we come right back minutes. Thank you so much. 10 seconds for the break in about another 10 minutes of the show will be right back.
Speaker 2:Okay, everyone, welcome back to what will definitely be the close for this episode. So let's recap a little bit in closing, and thanks for being here each and every day, as always. Thanks for listening to the episode and paying your forward, so taking a deep, calming breath. If you're interested in learning more about mentoring, for sure continue listening in here sporadically as I will expand upon myself teaching episodes with what we've encompassed. But I encourage you to indeed check out the aforementioned websites and resources and definitely highly recommend Dr Anthony Matille in his work, metavie, and also have a social media presence of my own. Of course, it's free shows like us. Sure us Pay it forward. Be part of the intuitive group which appreciate it and we always hope to see you the next time.
Speaker 2:Each and every day, I am going to encompass and incorporate in a company blog and, as I put that pen to paper and I'm not there yet, my thoughts of expansion there over and above this show is, you know, share some more tips of self teaching Mandarin, and tips that will be based, certainly, on my own experiences along the way, as minimal as they are as juncture, as well as the experience of other learners to all degrees and capabilities, referencing a lot of them in the aforementioned magnetic memory methods and books and so forth that I'm reading for Dr Anthony's suggestion in his own, and he's been a guest on the show twice and he will be back. I'm always trying to embrace it around kind of sort of the release of his most recent endeavors of books and he has one in progress and stay tuned for that and I'll highlight and talk about Kenyans, tones, basic grammar language and how to immerse myself in it more. I have a language partner Baffler mentioned will be my granddaughter at some point. I have tried some learning apps online. I'm continuing to do so, online courses.
Speaker 2:I don't foresee myself ever traveling to China at this juncture, but that is indeed a technique for anyone of any language pursuit. If you can and you know Italian, french, whatever, if you can get to go to the native country, obviously that would accentuate your endeavors. So that's how my vortex of thoughts of what I'll put in the blog will say bye, bye for now on this show. See you again tomorrow, continue to pay your forward, make it a safe and productive day. And that's the end of this main mental moment segment. Peace everybody.
