Description

Living Filipino with Mason and Gouin

Discover a unique and gentle approach to teaching Filipino with Living Filipino with Mason and Gouin, a resource that thoughtfully combines time-honored language learning methods with fresh, modern perspectives. This book reintroduces a language method that has stood the test of time for over a century, now being rediscovered and embraced by today’s educators for its simplicity and effectiveness.

Rooted in the principles of British educator Charlotte Mason and French linguist François Gouin, this method emphasizes learning languages as “living speech” through logical sequences of sentences, or “series,” that narrate everyday habits and experiences. This immersive approach enables students to naturally think and express themselves in Filipino, integrating the language into their daily lives.

Each unit of Living Filipino offers a rich tapestry of learning materials, including:

Bible Passage: Reflect on meaningful scripture, enhancing spiritual and linguistic understanding.
Poem: Enjoy Filipino poetry that enriches vocabulary and cultural appreciation.
Painting: Explore Filipino art, fostering visual literacy and cultural context.
Book Recommendation: Dive into recommended readings that support and extend language learning.
Song: Engage with Filipino music, which aids in auditory learning and cultural immersion.

Through Living Filipino, students will not only learn to speak Filipino but also weave it into the fabric of their daily living, bringing the language to life in the most practical and meaningful ways.
