What Language Learners Get Wrong About Learning

- I had a fascinating discussion with @benjaminkeep (Stanford trained cognitive scientist) about the common misconceptions about learning, the science of learning and how to best learn languages based on science.

at around 27min Benjamin talks about using Pleco to look up "words beginning with" and "words containing" a certain character. I used to do this ALL the time in my Chinese class! Super helpful
I use this feature all the time too, it's so helpful!
Thank you for your videos! You're a great teacher.
Cheers from Italy!!
Thanks for your kind words, let me know if I can help 😊
25:00 to anyone using flashcards, I suggest making your own. Be careful of the criteria you use to make them. Any rules are simple:
1 - I need native audio and a related picture for the sentence (anime, visual novel, movies)
2 - I need the sentence and context to have some emotional impact, even if it's just an impactful scene or a character saying something that sounds good.
3 - If a sentence is long, I often add more than one word. Those cards reinforce each other
4 - always review the cards you fail, in the same day if possible. This is not regular review. Delete cards if they are failing often. Replace them. Look for words with the same kanji on your deck and see if you can use them to help remembering.
Great to see you back on TH-cam, Danyo! It's inspiring to see you interview different people and discuss language learning. I've been thinking of doing interviews for a while but it always seems challenging in my head.
Thank you! Cool to see you're still making videos! It's not easy to keep consistent so congrats! You should totally do interviews, that would really interesting for learners like us!
@@thedanyopang thank you! Would love to interview you later when I get things sorted out.
@@acupofchinese I'd love to 😊
@@thedanyopang Awesome thanks!
17:00 So contextual variation is major for this, right? If the way you retrieve is important and can be transformative, different contexts surely help boost both your encoding (You need to encode information that overlaps with previously encoded info, but is also different) and your retrieval (your retrieval can support your encoding by providing the contextually different info). This seems especially relevant for language learning and massive input. Some words are particularly complicated in their many uses. Even a more passive immersion can be very positive if you are also doing active immersion. Passive immersion is like priming in this case (provided you have the basics to absorb the information).
Why did you stop making videos?
The book he referred to please?

So does that mean we don't need to learn grammar rules to become fluent in the language.
The most part no. I think it is okay to learn some grammar rules. But sometimes they just get in the way of know what you wanna say and how to say it. What I mean is not to get too caught up in the grammar, because people use wrong grammar in every language all the time. 'Naw mean? 😉
