I'm doing another research probe! I'm not sure if I've ever done one of these here on dreamwidth, but it's basically something where I come up with an area where I realize "wait that might not be the same for everyone everywhere!" and ask for data from my online friends, who are more diverse in life experience than my irl friends, and see where things are similar and different from my expectations and personal life experiences. This one is a teaching and learning question for any friends who either went through school in a language other than English or who have experience teaching in educational systems that use languages other than English
In English, we have this concept of the "alphabet book" where we go through letter by letter, normally with heavily used, concrete words with strong visuals to teach a letter and the sounds associated with it. For example "The big blue boy boxed in a blue banner". My questions are
1. What language are you familiar with and how are you familiar with it?
2. Does your language do a similar concept? If so, what is it like?
3. Do you have songs for teaching the alphabet?
