Soaked/sprouted Seeds

Hi All
Can anyone advise the correct method of soaking and sprouting seeds under local Singapore condition, please?

Currently am doing as follows:
0800hrs - soak seeds
1800hrs - washes soaked seeds and continue to soak with fresh water
0800hrs [ next day ] - washes soaked seeds and feeds birds with them [ moderate amount so that seeds will be finished by 1200hrs ].

Wonder if my method is correct.

Have not tried sprouting, please advise how this is done.

Many thanks
