Yes, transcription is amazing. about 6 months ago I decided to really work on listening and transcribing using sentences I already had in Anki, specifically, the Refold deck I bought of 1000 most common words a couple years ago. I created a new card type for the note that just plays the audio of the the sentence on the front, and I have to transcribe it on the back. For kicks, I used hyperTTS add on to add two more random voices (I used 12 mexican Spanish voices from Amazon neural voices, 6 male, 6 female), so the sentence audio is played 3 times using 3 different voices on the front side. Obviously, I can repeat it as many times as I want while transcribing. And wow, what an incredible jump in my listening ability it has made. Not only am I reviewing vocabulary, I am listeing to it in chunks and holding in memory chunks while transcribing. This as radically improved my listening. I then went on to do another 3000 card deck I had with 500 most common verb that has about six sentences each. It really works. Transcription, I think, is the magical key to listening. It forces hearing in context and remembering the words. It also makes you realize that words are smooshed to gether, that vowel sounds are dropped, and sometimes you just have to infer the word, especially in Spanish, he hecho, ha ido, etc.
I have finished using a 1k deck, which I found to be reading and comprehension practice. I have changed this deck in to a transcription deck and have found it to be good listening and writing practice. I was surprised to see that I was not hearing obvious words, thank you for sharing.
neat! I had been doing something similar for a lot of my Russian cards but with just bare bones cloze type in note type and manually copy pasting everything in. Tried the script and managed to use it to make 1000 new cards from a 1 hour stand up special. Could see incorporating something like this into my Anki routine, thanks!
I´ve been hoping to find something like this. I am a little confused about the srt subtitles file from youtube, how do I get the transcript from YT to be an srt file and not just some text?
Hello! I have a Problem. Please help me if you know the solution. Can you tell me, how I can have my Ankiweb Flashcards/Notes in Lute ? With Respect Hadi
Hi guys, could you explain the mechanism why comprehensible input works? Preferably in a video. I assume it's related to how the brain learns to infer what the speaker means and predicts what he will say, thus building up a working model of the language system and the communicative conventions. These are just my wild guesses. Could you share what you know about this? Understanding that might help to persevere when you hit a plateau as you are bound to do when it comes to languages that are in a different language family than your native language. Some light on this issue would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
I think a full video would be a good idea, but the main thing to know is that "comprehensible input" doesn't just work, it's the only thing that works to acquire a language. There are many tactics to make a language comprehensible and thus get comprehensible input. The skill building approach (found in traditional classrooms) doesn't take this into account and assumes that memorizing things about the language leads to learning the language. In reality, you're just memorizing facts/formulas. Those can sometimes make the language comprehensible, which is why some people have success. They don't have success because of the traditional methods, they got enough comprehensible input thanks to the study they did. Principle and Practice by Stephen Krashen (free online on his website, just search the title) dives a lot more into language acquisition. We've learned a lot more about the topic since the early 80s, but a lot of his theories have panned out, and the book is pretty approachable to read. If you're hitting a plateau, you're probably not pushing yourself to understand more and more of the language in some way. Either with more words, with deeper understanding, with better listening, whatever. Find something you're weak in and practice those things in order better understand in that area of the language.
@@Refold Yeah, the Refold method is really powerful. Actually, it's a little closer to immersion than comprehensible input, because you also stress the need of making the content comprehensible rather than just finding easy input. But that's beside the point and a matter of definition. What I'm really trying to find out is why input is crucial on a deeper level. One mechanisms that might also be part of it is that if you don't see the words you learned explicitly in actual texts, your mind is not inclined to believe that you really need to know that word or language. By using massive amounts of input, you convince your brain that you need to store that linguistic information in long-term memory. I'm sure you can find more machnisms and explain it so everyone will really understand why it is essential to invest all these hunderds and thoudsands of hours to get enough input and make the input comprehensible. Output is also essiantial at later stages, but you just can't stress enough how much input you need. I think the expert rule of 10000 hours is also in the right ballpark.

Now THIS is something very useful for any language, I might give it a try with Chinese, thanks.

I hadn't thought of this! It's super clever.
Wake up babe a new Anki card just dropped
REALLY COOL!

I have a question, the htlm on anki displays differently on pc or cellphone and the browser?
I´ve been hoping to find something like this. I am a little confused about the srt subtitles file from youtube, how do I get the transcript from YT to be an srt file and not just some text?
There might be an easier way but I googled something to the effect of "youtube video subtitles to srt" and found some site that worked
@@toke55 Thanks, I have seen a couple.

you can input a csv file in lute after exporting it from anki, but you'd have to change the way it's formatted
