Instructions

GIHNP is a solution for those who:

• do not know a foreign language and want to be able to communicate with the least amount of time spent learning it
• want to learn how to communicate quickly; to understand the GIHNP system, the time spent on one trip abroad – by bus, train, plane – is usually enough; afterwards you will be able to communicate in any de facto language
• have difficulty learning foreign languages
• do not want to learn from the “desk drawer”
• do not want to learn impractical and rarely used information
• are returning to a foreign language after a long break
• want to quickly learn just the essentials
• would like to learn, at least in part but as soon as possible, a foreign language written in a different alphabet – “phonetic translation”
• for GIHNP specialization, get immediate information in the appropriate field

What is the advantage of GIHNP:

• essential grammar kept to a minimum, well-organized graphically and professionally prepared
• almost instantaneous orientation in the language thanks to its unique system
• incomparably faster language instruction at the start, immediate understanding of the GIHNP system in specified situations, such as being abroad
• brushing up on knowledge of the language in question
• basic conversations made simple
• by understanding the system of one language version of GIHNP you get a simplified system of all GIHNP language forms; you will find the same information for other languages at the same location
• the practical format of GIHNP is designed “for the pocket”; instruction through exercises is possible
• Internet support for GIHNP
• GIHNP extensions, focusing on specific areas of interest or events (fishing, sports, culture, etc.), thanks to which you get an instant overview of the desired field

The history behind

this idea is prosaic. While watching my children learn German, I discovered that they did not know the future or past tense forms of verbs. I devised a way to help them learn – I was looking for a “system”. And so, in 2004, the first, now “prehistoric” forerunner of today’s sophisticated GIHNP came into being. Using it, I changed my own system of learning foreign languages. Thanks to GIHNP, I learned a new language (today I know 10) in only 2 weeks. I do not mean complete knowledge but enough to be able to communicate.

The aim of GIHNP

is not to learn a foreign language, not even to compare it with other methods of learning. This system is new, functional and unique. Here I would like to stress that all copyrights are reserved! Our authentic GIHNP copies are incomparably more durable and more affordable than any pirated copies.

The main table of the front page of GIHNP contains irregular and the most common verbs, arranged alphabetically and including the 3 most important verbs: “to be”, “to have”, “to go”. These three verbs are also sometimes used as “auxiliary verbs” for creating the past and future tenses. The table for some language versions also includes the past participle, including pronunciation.

The upper left part contains numbers including basic numerical figures, scales and signs, and ordinal numbersincluding the word “last”. For learning numbers, I recommend from one to ten and while driving repeat the license plates of passing cars, first the numbers from 1 to 10 and later by tens, hundreds and thousands....

Next up is the comparison of adjectives and adverbs. both regular and irregular. In some languages there are no differences between adjectives and adverbs. In the lower left part is the grammar. The “grammar” introduces basic pronouns: I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they”, followed by their possessive pronouns and forms in the 3rd and 4th cases. Even though Czech has 7 cases, for most languages it is enough to know the 1st, 3rd and 4th cases to be able to communicate. The grammar in itself also contains “demonstrative pronouns" and definite and indefinite articles.

On the left next to the numerals is a table called “clock”,, which will allow you to express the overwhelming majority of these issues. Below the clock are “prepositions” a “conjunctions”with highlights for the most important of them.

A table called “time“ contains the most common time words: days of the week, months, seasons and the really important two bottom lines: “before” and “later” and the periods “from...” and “to...”. The empirically “most common words“.Always go after these alphabetically-sorted words even if they are not verbs, nouns or pronouns.

Below this table are, again alphabetically-sorted, the most common antonyms. This is followed by a table of “irregular verbs“, ”, which we have already mentioned.

The right side contains edited regular verbs. Approximately 170 of the most common verbs conjugated according to the examples at the top of GIHNP with highlighted endings, in the present, future and past tenses and in the conditional form according to patterns and endings.

The back of GIHNP contains 8 categories: travel, business, the doctor, food – drink, colors, family, animals a cardinal points accompanied by color-matching related phrases.

You can also choose a ninth area, with specializations that deal with many subjects. A specialized GIHNP tailored according to your own specifications is also available. The division of GIHNP into fields helps you to find your way around. The system has been conceived so that similar or supplementary phrases can be created from the edited material. The second half of this page contains about 340 of the most important words; nouns, and to a lesser extent, less important verbs and adjectives.

Dear friends of foreign languages, I hope you enjoy using this learning aid and welcome your constructive comments to make it even better.
