Could you guys kindly tell me what is the dictionary game? Because I can only afford to buy the book. The problem is that the book didn't mention the game.
I would like to ask: What is it? How to play it?
thx

If you're a beginner at photoreading and only using the book you'll need to understand that the dictionary game is just a game. It's played in the early part of the course to give us some insight what we can do. Not everyone has success with the game at the early point. To explain the details would be quite lenghty and thats probably why its not in the book. It takes up a complete side of the tape and there are preparations you need to do before you attempt to photoread the dictionary. It boils down to photoreading the dictionary then letting words pop into our head and then guessing the position of the word within the dictionary. Without the guidance to prepare you it is not much of a game.

When you are learning from the book you need to learn all the steps before one could recommend the dictionary game. Once you've tried all the steps and actually done the 5 day test to prove to yourself that the photoreading system works for you, then the dictionary game becomes kind of redundant. You can then photoread the dictionary for a different purpose.

skj,

Try the game with a dictionary of your own language . It is more difficult to have success with a dictionary from another language. Even if you feel it hasn't worked it might be because you guessed the opposite page or top instead of bottom. Be easy on yourself and notice when that happens because it means it is working you just got it back to front. No matter anyway... it is a game only. It is by far more useful to you to enjoy photoreading the books that serve your needs.

One of the reasons the game doesn't always work is because the mind finds it boring so if you try to play it too often at once it stops making correct guesses.

On the whole you'll find it more interesting and perhaps fun photoreading a translation dictionary. One that translates english to your language and back again. No need to play the game just notice if the english words pop into you mind a little easier. Some people practice this for a few weeks and find that they understand the language easier.

If you have problems with other areas of photoreading it would be much better to work on them. Forget the game and make the system work.

Alex

You need to be able to connect the words with something you already know. Since you know the words in your own language it is easier to start making the connections with them. That is why most people learn with translation (spanish to english / english to spanish) dictionaries. It proves to be most successful for those learning a new language.

The method is correct, students of a new language usually use translation dictionaries to become familar with the language and that is the kind of dictionary you need to be photoreading as a learner of a different/new language.

Using the translation (your language to english /english to your language) dictionary and the memory supercharger tape will help make more sense of the words you are photoreading. It gives the mind something to connect to. You can apply photoreading to your lessons books to aid learning also. Just photoread them and then use the memory supercharger tape for a couple of weeks and see what happens. You could play the dictionary game with the translation dictionary. You'll probably find it more successful since it gives your mind a way of making sense of the words that you photoread.

Is it really fast? It is faster than most other methods alone.

Alex

Anyone done V.S. mode with the dictionary game with two players to see who can score the most? It's a gamble when you have money involved, but fun! Hee hee!

My friend and I used to play it. And yes, I'm serious.
