04.10.21 || Moshi Moshi ! Recently I Have Watched A Ted Talk On How To Learn Any Language In Six Months

04.10.21 || moshi moshi ! recently i have watched a ted talk on how to learn any language in six months by Chris Lonsdale. i took some notes from the video and i thought it would be great to share these with all of you. here are 7 actions for rapid language acquisition —

listen a lot! it's called brain soaking. you put yourself in a context where you're hearing tons and tons and tons of a language and it doesn't matter if you don't understand it or not. what matters is you're listening to the rhythms, to patterns that repeat.

focus on the meaning FIRST before the words, focus on the body languages!

start mixing! if you've got 10 verbs, 10 pronouns and 10 adjectives you can say 1000 different things. language is a creative process. it doesn't have to be perfect, just has to work. remember how babies communicate - “me hungry eat’’ learn language like a baby!

focus on the core! any language is high frequency content. in English, 1000 words cover 85% of anything you're ever gonna say in daily conversation.

get yourself a language parent! who's somebody interested in you as a person who will communicate with you essentially as an equal but pay attention to help you understand the message.

copy the face. if you can look at a native speaker and just observe how they use their face, let your unconscious mind absorb the rules, then you're gonna be able to pick it up.

“direct connect’’ to mental images. when you hear the word fire, you think of smoke you go into that imagery and you become more and more skilled at just connecting the new sounds to those images that you already have into that internal representation. you prolly heard of associating a picture or a drawing when you're learning a new word in your target language. it means the exact same thing.

The army has told her to evacuate and transportation is $1000.

공부할게 산더미. 문법 복습하는 건 너무 오랜만이라서 밀린 일이 많긴 하네요... (위에 있는 공책들은 2017-2020 쓴 공책이다. 글씨 몇 년 내내 많이 달라졌구나!!)

fresh start to a new semester— my mint plant died at the end of the last one. sort of looking at the glass now as ready for new growth?

when writing a screenplay about an awkward archaeologist, one must embrace the aesthetic of said awkward archaeologist and literally make their entire workspace resemble that of said awkward archaeologist. i wanted my space to look jumbled, like i’d gone on adventure after adventure and brought pieces back from every trip. even though i can’t travel during the pandemic, my workspace is a nice, temporary substitute. i’m obsessed with it. feel free to ask where i got anything you see in the photo!

Did not sleep well and barely managed to wake up at a decent hour after snoozing all the alarms. Woke up with a headache, but it’s gone now. I always get affected by the weather and it’s so gloomy today… Checked how my ivy babies are doing (we are growing roots!). Surrounding my desk with plants was the best idea ever! Picked a green highlighter for this morning studying session. Let’s start the day!

Also, I’m rewatching the 13th for my upcoming presentation. The American justice and prison system makes me furious.

100 Days of Productivity - Day 75/100 April 17, 2018

Today I wrote up IPT notes, completed an ancient history research table, finished reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, and drank a lot of tea. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is such a beautiful book, I can feel it creeping to the top of my ‘favourite reads’ list!
