Mastery checkpoint: people and home without a script

Where we are on the map

The support map shows one complete meaning link. Trace it with a finger, then rebuild the route without the picture.

A real situation

A new conversation partner joins and sees only a blank plan. Introduce fictional people and their home in three minutes so that the listener can rebuild the diagram and ask questions of their own.

Listen and respond

Listen: Бұл — менің отбасым. — This is my family.

Listen: Үйде төрт адам бар. — There are four people in the home.

Listen: Бұл — менің інім. — This is my younger brother.

Listen: Оның бөлмесі үлкен. — His or her room is large.

Listen: Үстелде екі кітап бар. — There are two books on the table.

Listen: Ас үйде гүл жоқ. — There is no flower in the kitchen.

How to practise

Listen with the text hidden and catch only the target meaning. Next, trace the map with a finger and repeat after the model. On the third pass, hide the model, tap its short rhythm with your palm, and make a sentence of your own. Device speech is a model; use a speaker, teacher, or comparison with your own recording as evidence of pronunciation.

The precise model

Successful performance shows ten observable actions: naturally short ы/і; a Бұл кім? question; three relationship terms; matching possession; one plural form; two quantities without a redundant plural; three locations; both бар and жоқ statements; a бар ма? question; and repair after misunderstanding. Wording may differ from every model. Meaning, independent choice, and transfer to a new plan are the evidence.

The support signal

Ы/І → PERSON → КІМНІҢ? → NUMBER → ҚАЙДА? → БАР/ЖОҚ → 8/10 NOW + 7/10 LATER

The limit of the rule

Fluent reading of a prepared text does not prove block mastery. Speech synthesis neither evaluates pronunciation nor hears your answer. Use comparison with your own recording or human feedback for the sound criterion. Keep all details fictional.

Predict before the explanation

Take random people, object, and place cards. Plan only the route for thirty seconds without writing full sentences. Predict one likely obstacle and choose the support that can restore it.

Rebuild it without the prompt

Close lessons 9–15 and draw the seven block signals. Explain the route aloud from them. Open the first missing link only, hide it again, and restart with a different card.

Find and repair the mistake

A learner reads the description perfectly but continues the old script after Үйде балкон бар ма?. Stop the script, recover the question, and answer from the new plan. A second error is treating an overlong ы as clear diction; restore the short rhythm.

Transfer to a new setting

Change the plan, number of people, owners, and object locations. A new partner asks in a different order and introduces one familiar object absent from practice.

Change to the My World project

Assemble version 0.2: a privacy-safe five-person map, five-place home plan, objects and owners, quantities, a бар/жоқ layer, the ы/і sound panel, and six audio lines. Another learner must rebuild the plan without your explanation.

Exercise

Required. Give a three-minute unscripted tour and meet at least 8 of 10 criteria, including transfer. Record one error and its repair afterwards.

Delayed check. After seven days, receive another plan and score at least 7 of 10 without rereading the block.

Retrieval after 1, 7, and 30 days

• Tomorrow rebuild the seven signals and give a new tour.
• After seven days take the 7/10 delayed check on a different plan.
• After thirty days describe a real room without private details and mark supports no longer needed.
