Keywords

💡习惯堆叠

习惯堆叠是一种通过将新习惯与已有习惯结合的简单但有效的方法,帮助培养新习惯。视频中建议将学习外语和现有的刷牙、喝咖啡、看电视等日常习惯结合在一起,让学习外语成为日常生活的一部分。这种方法有助于将语言学习无缝地融入到日常生活中,从而养成持续的语言学习习惯。

💡用目标语言谷歌

用目标语言(正在学习的外语)搜索和阅读感兴趣的内容,而不是使用母语。视频建议无论是想了解有关鲸鱼的信息,还是查找其他任何信息,都应使用目标语言进行在线搜索。这种做法迫使学习者更多地接触目标语言,有利于扩大词汇量并提高阅读理解能力。

💡记录生词

视频建议将所遇到的新单词记录下来,无论是在阅读、收听还是日常交谈中遇到的新词汇。把新词汇存储在手机或其他应用程序中,稍后制作成词卡进行复习和记忆。及时记录新词,并在之后专门复习,有助于扩大词汇量,提升语言水平。

💡复习词卡

坚持使用像Anki这样的复习工具,复习所记录的生词词卡。视频作者养成了在工作日一开始就复习词卡的习惯,以确保新词的持续记忆和巩固。复习词卡是强化词汇记忆、提高词汇积累的重要途径,坚持这一习惯可以使语言学习事半功倍。

💡需求式学习语法

视频提倡的语法学习策略是只在需要时才学习特定的语法规则,而不是死记硬背大量的语法知识。作者建议在两个前提下学习语法:一是确实需要某个语法规则,二是有信心能在实际交流中正确使用该规则。这种策略符合认知负载理论,避免一次学习太多语法导致大脑超负荷,注重实用性并逐步掌握。

💡Squarespace

Squarespace是一家网站建设和主机服务商,在视频中被提及作为促销内容。作者推荐使用Squarespace创建个人网站,尤其适合语言老师建立博客或在线课程网站。Squarespace有多种专业模板可选,具备强大的博客和电子商务功能,并提供电子邮件营销等服务。

💡习惯培养

视频的核心主题是分享一些有助于持续学习外语的小习惯和策略。这些习惯包括习惯堆叠、用目标语言搜索资料、记录生词、复习词卡以及需求式学习语法等。养成这些良好习惯有助于将语言学习自然地融入日常生活,提高学习效率和词汇积累。

💡认知负载理论

认知负载理论(Cognitive Load Theory)是一个关于人脑处理和学习信息能力的理论。视频提到,根据这一理论,人脑就像一个背包,一次只能装载有限的信息量。如果尝试一次性学习太多内容,就会导致认知过载。因此,视频作者建议语法学习采取分解的方式,避免一次性学习过多规则。

💡词汇量

在语言学习中,词汇量是非常重要的一个方面。视频强调了几种有助于扩大词汇量的策略,如用目标语言搜索信息、记录并复习生词、大量接触目标语言等。丰富的词汇量不仅有助于学习者理解语言,也有利于流利表达。

💡持续学习

视频所分享的诸多小习惯,都是为了让语言学习成为持续发生的过程。持续地投入时间和精力,养成良好的学习习惯,比起集中式的临时突击学习更有利于语言水平的持续提高。无论是复习还是在日常生活中融入学习,都体现了持续学习的理念。

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
