Me: I’ll review Anki later. Also me: 3,000 cards due. 😭 Consistency is important, y'all.

Immersion learning is just collecting small wins until they snowball.

Language apps and flashcards are like gyms. They get you started. But real growth happens when you live it. Change your lifestyle.

Our secret? Less effort on ‘studying,’ more effort on living the language.

You’ll forget words. That’s normal. Re-encounter them, and they’ll stick deeper. Knowing words isn't a binary either/or. Shout out to Dr. Paul Nation and his research on vocabulary acquisition. https://t.co/p8HSIwwPjp

Don’t translate in your head. Train your brain to think directly in the new language. Can't think in the new language yet? Massive amounts of comprehensible input. Acquisition comes from one thing. Understanding new messages.

If it feels too easy, you’re not growing. If it feels impossible, you’re not learning. Aim for just right input.

Don’t worry about mistakes early. Worry about enjoying input. Don't worry about 100% comprehension. Worry about getting the gist.

Don’t chase words in Anki. Chase hours of exposure to the language.

Language learners. Just remember: You don't have a bad memory. You have an underfed one.
