I've decided to start a new topic to reply as this is a very different subject from the 'problems with the schwa' and I feel it gets hard to find messages again.
First, I'm sure Glenys and Ros will reply to you but I thought I'd make a start as they must both be still asleep as I write.
You wrote: "I knew that "Words in Color" was for helping native speakers learn to read, but I did not know that there were colored word charts for Silent Way.
I've been meaning to ask you about the sound chart with pictures you include in Classifying Vowel Sounds.
- First off, what font are you using? I seem not to have it on my system and a few of the letters were unexpected (a capital "U" with a down-slanting accent which I believe to represent the "j" (as in "jump") sound.
Thanks to an indirectly received message from Glenys, I have discovered this most interesting forum. The question I would like to ask is whether any of you know of a site, a list or a means by which one could find out in which parts of the world teachers of the Silent Way, Gattegno Math, Words in Color, etc.
Hi everybody, I'm from Mexico City. I use the English Color Chart since 1996 on (I was a 22 year-old boy ), and even I also "build" a Spanish Color Chart based on Mexican Spanish pronunciation (getting an impressive achievement in foreign learners) but now, I want to learn the sounds of French Color Chart, I know there are some sounds the English C.
Does anyone have any ideas, suggestions, lessons, or exercises for teaching when to use infinitives versus gerunds? I've found Glenys's worksheet on this so far (thanks!)--looking for more ways to teach this in a SW way.

Hello--
I've been thinking about how to present conditionals and modals. I found some good articles by Robert Norris ( http://www2.gol.com/users/norris/ ). Just wondering if anyone here has some good ideas.
For example, has anyone worked with Glenys's "bubble" model for helping explain modals or conditionals?

I have taken the opportunity of scanning through some of the topics raised in this forum before posting my own.
