I use the multiple choice option, and consider my use of Clozemaster to be an input-based approach. It's not about recall, but recognition and comprehension. If I see the same word multiple times, I learn to recognize that word in context. It helps build passive vocabulary and works well with an input-first approach.

@sandeeenglish7757 Год назад

You can also make it much more challenging by NOT doing multiple choice. After a few days of using Clozemaster for Greek, I stopped that and started using the TRANSCRIBE option. So much more challenging!

@gamenailed9604 3 года назад

Happy to see this video. I've been using Clozemaster to help me learn German for over 2 years now. Very good app overall, but I wish it would also incorporate some pictures and/or videos rather than just having a robot voice read lines of text in monotone.

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

Yeah! Not perfect, by far, but also not bad. I look forward to seeing future improvements on this app! I think there is a lot of potential there!

@lubu2960 2 года назад

would be cool if it were more like memrise

@chsovi7164 Год назад

One of the great things about memrise is that there's so many courses that teach you vocab based on other materials, like I'm doing a memrise course that teaches how words from a russian copy harry potter and the philosopher's stone, and another that teaches words from the duolingo russian course. Both of these things give context, and it makes it a lot easier to learn

@RobertHeslop 2 года назад

I also had the same experience with Thai, alongside using Clozemaster and doing other things, I'm able to get the gist of news articles now when I read them. Plus, being immersed in Thai while living in Bangkok is an addition.

@arii4514 Год назад

Hey, thank you so much. I thought I discovered all the good apps out there but it’s really amazing.👍🧡

@KpopKimbap 3 года назад

I actually had the exact same experience with remembering the months in Thai. I just could not get them to stick for some reason! Glad I'm not alone in that lol. I've recently been using a website called lingopolo to study & remember them. I already use clozemaster, so I wouldn't mind adding it to my routine to help me better remember the months, as well.

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

That's great! Yeah the months are tough! lol Thanks for suggesting Lingopolo. I'll check it out!

@robinizer123 3 года назад

It’s a fun game to burn 5min, supplementary for sure, I did 2 rounds of Indonesian yesterday, one round of Chinese today, maybe tomorrow I’ll try the Spanish, thanks for the video.

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

Let me know what you think after you try it for a while!

@veloboy 3 года назад

Be careful! I got addicted to trying new languages, and ended up doing a round of every single combination for absolutely no reason other than OCD.

@Hellenicheavymetal Год назад

Ive been doing it for a month after 6 months of learning Greek. Every now and then I will get a word wrong but for the most part its too easy. I have only been doing the multiple choice ones though. Im sure it will get harder though.

@-joltrast 3 года назад

I think I removed Klosemaster because it didn't have Esperanto back then, but it seems to have it on the website, so hopefully it's in the app now.

@butterdrag0n330 3 года назад

Esperanto is on the app, I just tried it out a bit.

@-joltrast 3 года назад

@deadfolk 3 года назад

Have you tried the Goldlist method from David James? I wonder how this compares for vocabulary acquisition.

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

Yes, I gave it a try a few months ago, and found that it did not work for me at all.

if you enjoyed it so much, why did you stop after two months?

Hi! I am not seeing the link in your video (or in the video description) for Clozemaster. I want to check it out and see if they have my language. I would be happy to use your link to help this channel.

It looks like you’ve had your time with Anki, but I’d encourage you to check out refold. The spokesperson is matt vs japan here on youtube. Lots to read over on their website.

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

Yes, I interviewed Matt on this channel recently. His system is very good, I have okay feelings towards Anki, but I’m still on the lookout for a system that I like better.

@alanjaques5316 3 года назад

When you used anki did you review full sentences or isolated words?

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

I’ve tried it both ways before

@timmoche7096 3 года назад

Thanks for recommending it. Tried it at once. Great that there is no need to make the cards by yourself, find phrases etc. Radio feature is a killer. I always wanted that in Anki. I wonder if it's possible to choose a language of the interface of the app?

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

Not sure. Have you tried changing the interface of your phone?

@veloboy 3 года назад

I just tried the radio feature this morning while doing the dishes. It's not available in every language though.

@timmoche7096 3 года назад

@@FingtamLanguages It was a web version at the begining. Now I've tried the app on a phone with different languages. No joy. But! I found where to change a language of translation of the phrases ('I speak...' dropdown). It will do!

@SayuriYaki 3 года назад

I learn 3 languages but for english it's too easy and for croatian it's way too hard for me. I can kind of use it for french but that's it. I don't think I like it, eventhough I appreciate it has lots of languages like croatian which is quite hard to find resources for.

@veloboy 3 года назад

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

Non, mais j’imagine que c’est assez bon !

@veloboy 3 года назад

I love Clozemaster and I pay for it. However, it must be pointed out that not all languages are created equally in Clozemaster. Also, they are all in some stage of beta. Cloze is only as good as you the user makes it. That means you have to flag some of their mistakes, and go into Tatoeba on your own and change stuff yourself if you really want to improve a particular language for the app. If you (Aaron) go and check out one of your other languages that you speak on Clozemaster (French, Spanish, Esperanto, etc), you will see that they have more features than Thai has. One feature is that you can focus on the most frequently used 100 words. Another feature is that you can type in the answer instead of using multiple choice. Maybe you need to do a Clozemaster 2 video in order to really do it justice. ;-) (I'm available for an audio/video chat if you want to see more of the hacks I have discovered. Oh, and I am currently the all-time leader in toki pona.)

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

Hey that is awesome! Yes I know that there is the option to type in the words, but I never used it because it seems like for learning vocabulary that would not be very useful. I do wish they had collections of just the most common words in Thai.

@veloboy 3 года назад

@@FingtamLanguages I have sent them requests before. One was to add Maori. I'm still waiting for Haitian Creole and Malay. ;-)

@IcyTorment 8 месяцев назад

The more time I've spent on language learning, the more I've come to realize the learning scientists are right: Flash cards mostly suck. Cued recall mostly sucks.

@icehound6763 3 года назад

I don't think it is very beginner friendly.

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

Yeah, it would have been tough for an absolute beginner.

@veloboy 3 года назад

On the more popular languages you can choose the most frequently used 100 words. If you don't mind making a few mistakes at the start, it gets more comfortable after a few rounds. It is more like learning from immersion than from being in a classroom where you learn by taking baby steps. Clozemaster just pushes you into the pool.

@nandoflorestan Год назад

The first thing Clozemaster tells you is that it is for someone who knows the basics of the language and wants to acquire vocabulary quickly.

@AzureViking Год назад

The problem you're having is because you are using multiple choice which really sorta defeats the whole point. The issue with clozemaster is it relies on using either multiple choice or text input, both of which suck. It needs an option for just self regulated pass fail. If I understood it I say pass, of not I say fail.

@morrist8727 Год назад

Well that's what memise and Anki is for. Multiple choice is still a method that can help you memorize words.

@nandoflorestan Год назад

You can cover the 4 choices with your hand, do the exercise, and then pass or fail by choosing the correct or a wrong choice. But I think you misunderstand the point. Clozemaster isn't about understanding a sentence, it is about completing it with the right word. If you want another exercise then use something else (I also recommend Anki).

@robertknull456 Год назад

Not that impressed with it.

@nandoflorestan Год назад

Useless comment for lack of justification.

@samchangyz1974 Год назад

Next time use a popular language.

@amstabomitdembabo5984 3 года назад

Doesn't seem too appealing. I think the design is ugly and the concept is pretty repetitive. You have words in context even in Duolingo and especially in Babbel.

@owenthompson5214 3 года назад

The thing I don't like about babbel is the clicking button system

@FingtamLanguages 3 года назад

I actually thought the design was cool, but I realize that's just a personal opinion. Duolingo gives you words in context, but there is no SRS implementation. Duolingo would probably be better for the first month or two, but I think Clozemaster is more useful than Duolingo once you've reached a mid-beginner level.

@nandoflorestan Год назад

Duolingo keeps making me translate to the source language... that's a bad exercise, it makes me think in the source language. I prefer to think in the language being learned. Clozemaster doesn't have this problem. Clozemaster does not replace duolingo, it is a nice complement to acquire vocabulary faster.
