    This, is actually true. I'm learning Japanese. I'm currently still on Katakana though. I've found out that by after learning some letters, I tend to stop, and then over time I review them at least once a day, and I remember how to write them almost perfectly. I was actually worrying about this sort of thing. What if I couldn't memorize the letters and Kanji? And now that I have come across this strategy, it's going to help me a lot.

    My creasy way is to go through the dictionary once and twice and 3times untill i become familiar with the words...&then I'll learn grammar & then I'll go studying scripts of movies & songs..& read some srories... and listen a lot for days... but i have to know the words first...
    I'll give an example:
    In this already made up language by me!(gyhvdr wrgghjo good dfyhhdarg deaf ghhdeeyh go hkgtc go gderg hjjcc) what u notice ? U could easily notice the word (go deaf & good)
    Y'll tell me learning individual wods is wrong! And absolutely ur right.. but u can solve by using ur language as a way to put the word in sentence! Like : in arabic a pen is galam... if i put it like this [the ink of this galam is leaking ] now u used it in a real life situation & that's the point! If u wanna not study the dictionary y'll struggle with a lot of things!

      This suits me too. I have three dictionaries by the same publisher with 3000, 20,000 and 90,000 words. There are loads of example sentences and interesting sayings - I read these for fun and watch all my TV with the language I'm studying as subtitles and have over 100 children's books in the language I read for fun. I have lots of bundles of little cards I tie up with different rubber bands depending on how well I know them - I've recently switched to larger cards with about 30 words on each, working through the middle dictionary. I use spaced repetition but like the larger cards as I can do pilates while I'm testing myself and they fit in my pocket easily. I just tried Anki after watching this video but it would involve too much screen time for me. My easy dictionary I can skim through in about an hour now. Identifying roots of words really helps which then helps me with lots of words derived from them. I also make audio files with the audio recorder on my phone of me reading out words and phrases I think I'll find interesting to listen to and turn them into CDs for the car. Recently I've also used ChatGPT4 to help me translate books and explain idiomatic phrases to me. I use Google Lens to detect the text and paste it into ChatGPT getting it to translate line by line listing difficult words and idioms. I've also started using ChatGPT4 to help explain subtle differences between words that have the same meaning, asking it to give me examples.

    Heads up, that's not an exponential curve, it's an asymptote. Humans forget asymptotically. Good word to use for a lot of learning.

    • @jim37569
      @jim37569 Год назад +2

      It is indeed an exponential curve. The asymptote is the height the curve approaches at the limit as t->infinity.

    How often do we do this space repeatition excercise ?

    • @NicolaiCzempin
      @NicolaiCzempin 7 лет назад +3

      Ideally, you use your spaced repetition system multiple times each day, every day.
      These systems are designed to ask you to recall something just before you would forget it.
      So when you're learning, say, a new word, you would be asked to recall it after, say, 20 minutes, 60 minutes, 8 hours, and then a day, multiple days, and so on (assuming you get it right, that means you know it "at that level" and the next repetition will be further away, exponentially).
      If you wait longer between recalls you will have forgotten the word naturally, so overall you will repeat it more frequently than you would at ideal efficiency.
      The exact times (you can individually configure these in Anki, for example) depend on the learner, the material, and how strict he/she is testing himself/herself; that part is not an exact science: Experiment to see what works best for your particular situation (although there are useful starting points).
      Anki lets you set limits on how many new words you want to "put into the system"; the more words in the system, the more it will ask you to review. If it gets overwhelming, stop adding new words.
      Depending on your goals at some point new words may stop coming in (let's say you only want to learn 500 words overall).
      But if you want to constantly improve e. g. your vocabulary, you could be adding words (and of course other things, I was just using words as an example) for the rest of your life; the words just get more difficult.
      TL;DR: If you want to be efficient, you will use an SRS multiple times during the day, every day, as long as you're learning and reviewing new items. You can still use it less frequently but then you will forget sooner and thus have to repeat the words more frequently to get the same result (and it will take longer).

    • @NicolaiCzempin
      @NicolaiCzempin 7 лет назад +2

      I wouldn't say it's any fixed number of repetitions; long-term and short-term memory are defined on the basis of how long the break was since you last tried to recall an item.
      Strictly speaking there is no level at which you won't forget something:
      I'm fairly sure that most would agree that if you can instantly recall someone's name from his/her face, or the foreign equivalent of a word or phrase (or character), after one year of not encountering it, it is in long-term memory. But if you then don't encounter it again for two or let's say ten years, you may not remember it. It is still in your long-term memory, though.
      And if you cannot remember something after a few minutes it's fairly safe to say that it's not in long term memory yet.
      So the point at which a word enters your long-term memory is somewhere in between; this differs individually, but I'd say one night's sleep (because of some chemical processes that happen there) would be a minimum break before someone would consider something to be in long term memory.
      And "in long term memory" can be used to mean something like "won't forget". Once it's there, it normally doesn't disappear, but it will become harder to dig out when it's not being used. Without the transfer to long term memory the item literally will not be in your brain any more.
      Sorry for rambling (some more incoming).
      So it is up to you how you define "won't forget": If you'd define/consider it not forgotten after six months of not using it ("last semester") then it will take you six months before you know that you haven't forgotten it, which is roughly nine months from the beginning (assuming a strictly 2x each time schedule). See the back-of-the-envelope maths further down.
      And how many repetitions it takes depends on many factors (how easy was the word to begin with? Do you use the word outside the SRS, i. e. when speaking, in a school test, and so on), primarily, assuming that you get reminded each time just before you would otherwise forget it, it depends on how you've configured the "spaces" in your SRS (1 day, then 2 days, 4, 8, etc.; some form of exponential progression).
      Let's go with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 days, and you would consider it not forgotten after one month then you would (not counting the additional repetitions before sleeping) and you remember it correctly each time, then you would consider to know it after 1+2+4+8+16+32 days. If you forget it after the 16 day recall, it depends how you've set up your SRS, some really strict schedules would send it back to "square one", others would just send it back one level.
      Back in "ye olden" days of using physical cards, there were four levels within one session (that you do on a table with, say 20 cards) and four more levels spaced out over the long term (using differently-sized compartments of your box).
