Episode notes
Keep A Simple Daily Language Routine
- Build a daily routine covering reading, listening, speaking and short writing sessions to keep progress steady.
- Use language exchanges and weekly conversation lessons to force real use and fluency practice.
Learn Vocab As Example Sentences
- Record new vocabulary as full example sentences and study them in SRS (e.g., Anki) rather than isolated words.
- Focus on words relevant to your interests so repetition sinks them in naturally.
Language Distance Helps Think In Target Tongue
- Very different languages reduce the temptation to translate mentally, making it easier to think directly in the target language.
- Michael finds Japanese easier for this reason compared with Romance languages where translating is common.
