Q & A
1. 视频主要讨论了哪些有益于语言学习的习惯?
-视频介绍了五个有益于语言学习的习惯:1)习惯堆叠,把语言学习习惯跟现有习惯关联;2)用外语谷歌搜索信息;3)记录所有遇到的新单词;4)在开始工作前复习所有单词卡片;5)只在需要时学习语法规则。
2. 什么是习惯堆叠,它是如何应用于语言学习的?
-习惯堆叠是把想要养成的新习惯跟现有的固定习惯挂钩,利用现有习惯作为提示来触发新习惯的形成。对于语言学习,可以把学习外语与饮咖啡、做饭、散步等日常习惯结合在一起。
3. 为什么要用外语谷歌搜索信息?这会带来什么好处?
-用外语搜索信息可以在获取所需信息的同时接触大量外语材料,有助于词汇和语言理解的提高。即使搜索的是常见的话题,用外语搜索也会让记忆新词汇变得更容易。
4. 她如何处理新学到的生词?这个过程是怎样的?
-她会把所有新遇到的生词先存到手机或Notion应用里,每周末再把这些单词制成优质的单词卡,然后利用Anki这款基于间隔重复的学习软件来记忆和复习新单词。
5. 她为什么会在开始工作前复习Anki单词卡?
-她将复习单词卡与上班作为一项固定习惯关联起来,利用习惯堆叠的方法确保每天都能复习新学的词汇。既节省时间,又能养成学习的惯性。
6. 她是如何应用认知负荷理论于语言学习的?
-她会按照实际需求,每次只学习语法规则中的一小部分,而不是一次性学完所有规则和例外情况。这样可以避免大脑一次承受过多信息而超负荷。
7. 什么是Squarespace,视频是如何介绍它的?
-Squarespace是一款建站平台,视频中推广并介绍了使用它来制作网站、写博客和销售产品/服务的功能与优势,如模版选择、拖拽定制、电子邮件营销等。

9. 视频结尾的时候主持人提到了什么?
-视频结尾主持人对观众说,如果想要创建自己的网站,可以前往Squarespace官网并使用优惠码"Veronica"来享受网站或域名购买的9折优惠。
10. 你觉得这些学习习惯有哪些优缺点?
-这些习惯的优点是能够高效利用碎片化时间,将语言学习渗透到生活的方方面面,将主动学习与被动学习很好地结合在一起。但缺点可能是需要极强的自律性,而且无法有更系统的语法和发音学习。

this video is brought to you by Squarespace language learning doesn't have to be difficult
with just a few simple habits you can simplify your language learning experience and have time
to practice the language even if that day you're extremely busy hello everyone and welcome back to
my YouTube channel here I talk about language learning and share my journey learning English
Spanish and ASL the first habit I benefited a lot from is habit stacking habit stacking is a simple
but powerful technique for building new habits by adding them onto your existing ones the idea is
that you use a habit you already do regularly as a q to remind you to do a habit that you want to
form imagine you have a habit of brushing your teeth every single morning I hope you guys do
have this habit you want to start learning a new language but you often don't have enough
time with habit stacking you can make language learning part of your morning routine by doing
it right after you brush your teeth so in this case your stacked habit would be brushing teeth
language app here are some other examples of habit stacking your habit might be drinking
coffee in the morning and your stacked habit is listening to a language learning podcast while
drinking coffee your habit might be taking a shower in the evening and your stacked habit
is reviewing flash cards or practicing vocabulary in the shower let's say your habit is watching TV
before bed your stack habit might be reading a book in the language you're learning before or
after watching TV and then finally your habit is going for a walk during lunch break so your
stack habit might be listening to an audio lesson or practicing pronunciation while walking the way
I personally practice habit stacking is every single time I cook I listen to a podcast in
the language that I want to practice right now most often than not I do it in Spanish because
I'm spending a lot of time to really improve my Spanish right now so every time I cook dinner
I turn on a podcast in Spanish or maybe a YouTube video in Spanish and I cook and I
listen to something in Spanish at the same time so for me this way my habit is cooking dinner
because I know that it's important for me and I know that I already do it and my stag habit is
watching a YouTube video in Spanish the second habit that I implemented that has benefited me
a lot in terms of of my language learning is Googling everything in a foreign language I
think it's a very powerful habit and it won't take a lot of your time at all every time you
want to find some information Google something use your target language instead of your native
language my native language is Russian so of course it's a lot easier for me to just
Google instead of do it in English why are whales so big or even better in Spanish
Grandes and voila I have this article from National Geographic and a five minute Ted Talk
I could check out and learn all the information I was looking for anyway but do it in Spanish
right instead of in English instead of in Russian because I know that in these two languages I feel
very comfortable like if I read an article on why whales are so big in English I'm probably
not going to memorize any new vocabulary but in Spanish I definitely am and you guys can do the
same thing with any language you're learning another great way to use any foreign language
as a tool is to blog in this language and use it to sell your products and services here's where
Squarespace comes in because with this help you can create your own website with powerful blogging

number three that is extremely beneficial for my language learning right now is writing down
all the new words I encounter new words all the time in every single language I'm learning even
though I think my English is very good already a few days ago I was reading a book and learn
these two cool words to Short change someone and to be frazzled and I was like oh these words are
so cool I absolutely have to write them down so what I do in these situations is I save all the
words to my phone to my notion page because I use notion for everything for my work for my studying
so what I do is I have an ocean page I open it and I just save all the words you know I don't
think about it too much I learned a new word like to be frazzled or to Short change someone type it
save it done I have a lot of work every day so I only have time to create good flash cards out of
these words on the weekend and that's exactly what I do this helps me memorize words and later use
them in conversations so Monday through Friday I'm just collecting all of this new vocabulary
right and when it's Sunday or Saturday when I have enough time I just transfer everything to
Ay I create good quality flashh Cs and I memorize all these words the next week the next habit that
I have right now is kind kind of connected to Habit stacking but basically I don't stand
work before I review all of my ankey cards we talked about habit stacking so this next habit
is kind of like this before I finish X I won't start doing y I work from Monday to Friday so
I decided to tie my flash cards review to my work because it's extremely easy to do I work
five days a week and on the weekend I give myself a little time off I always say that
ankey and there space repetition and technology has changed the way I approach language learning
and I have already tested this system with such different languages as Chinese English Spanish
and ASL and it works perfectly with every single language allowing me to memorize new vocabulary
so I wake up I do all of my morning routine things and then before I'm about to start
working my computer is already open right so I just click on anky I review my flash cards it
takes I would say 5 to to 10 minutes it's not a lot of time believe me and then I start working
and the final habit that I absolutely love is I learn grammar when necessary I only learn grammar
when I feel like I need this specific Rule and when I feel confident that I can use it myself
I personally believe that asking yourself these two questions is Paramount the first one is do you
actually need the specific grammar rule because there are a lot of complicated grammar rules out
there and quite frankly we don't use a lot of the grammar we learn and the second question is
are you confident that you can use this grammar yourself in conversations if the answer is not
then maybe you need to practice more you need to understand this grammar more and more or maybe
you just don't need it the reason why I decided to use this approach is because it's connected
to the cognitive flow Theory CLT a little bit of science for you guys right now imagine your brain
brain is like a backpack cognitive load theory is like understanding how much stuff you can put in
your backpack before it gets too heavy and hard to carry basically how many things you can stuff in
your backpack when you're learning a new language there are a lot of grammar rules to remember CLT
helps us figure out how to manage all that stuff without overwhelming our brains the way I apply
cognitive flad theory to my language learning is by breaking down my my learning into smaller
manageable chunks instead of trying to learn everything about this one grammar rule at once
you know all the rules all the exceptions all the verbs absolutely everything I just focus on this
like one specific point you know of this grammar rule that I absolutely need to understand right
now I give myself a break when I need it just like taking a rest when your back back gets too heavy
so I hope this video was useful I really hope you learned something new and I wish you success in
your language learning as a quick reminder only for you guys my viewers if you want to create
