Episode notes

For people learning Chinese or Japanese, essentially, you have to memorize all these characters. In my mind, mouth and horse, there's a horse with a very long mouth. And I have this plot that plays out for 500 words or so. So it's a visual thing. The majority of our brain is devoted to our visual field. When you make a picture out of something, it's very easy to learn it once again. It almost creates like two different ways to remember the content.

Skye Helfant is a Sophomore Utrecht University student studying Artificial Intelligence. He’s a great video editor and fellow YouTuber creating content documenting his journey into learning how to code. He uses Obsidian and Anki as the main knowledge management apps for his second brain. He’s also my twin brother. In this episode we discuss how he uses Anki and Obsidian for language learning and coding. We discuss the pitfalls most students fall into with their notetaking. We talk what makes a life meaningful, and how to create a vision as a student.
