Hey! Thanks for watching and I hope we keep learning these languages together. I know what I say in the beginning is *a bit controversial* but I mean it. Maybe not mastering any subject but becoming fairly good at it. As mentioned - my study course at 83% off for a limited time 📚🧠 bit.ly/SupersonicStudyCourse 📚🧠and learn a language at 50% off with Drops languagedrops.com/affiliates/yanjaa-wintersoul
Hey! I’m happy you are studying Brazilian Portuguese! I, myself, am from São Paulo. If you’d like some recommendations, here are some of the Brazilian channels I personally love: Ciência todo dia (science-y) Canal Nostalgia Manual do mundo (science too) Spotniks (news and some other stuff)
Things I learned watching this video: 1. Learn things a little at a time, often. Don't cram all at once. Give your brain a time to breath and internalize things. 2. Actively internalize things by talking out load to a person or rubber duck. Ask yourself questions and try to answer them before moving on. 3. Yanjaa is awesome and this channel is surprisingly underwatched. Thank you, I will def revisit this video.
Well, this is your style of learning, and thanks for sharing it with us. I firmly believe there are many ppl who found your tips useful. As for me, i found deep diving into the subject i study is the most effective way of learning. This way you simply literally dive into your topic and going through the info in a state of flow. Time doesn't matter. Nothing matters in this state. There are only you and your subject of study. It may take 3, 4 even 6 hours without noticing time. But this style is pricey. You have to turn all distractions off. You make your brain consume only the information needed. Nothing else consumes your brain's energy. No music, no cat near purring, smartphone notices. Almost no external stimulation. Only you and your subject. It also may consume a lot of energy, so you may take a nap for an hour after the session. The next day you simply recall what you've learned in a practical way. If you study language you start using newly learned words, phrases, grammar rules etc. If you learn programming language, you try to write a simple program with newly learned material. ETC. And yes, take a walk after the session if possible, this way you will improve your health and allow new info to sink in better. Cheers!
The main take away from this video for me was to take active breaks (like walks) and to divide the work. I often hinder myself to do things because I don't think I have "enough" time to do them, but 10min here and there adds up to a lot!
girl, I am happy that you are learning Brazilian Portuguese ~ I am a Brazilian Portuguese/English translator and I would be happy to help you or answer any questions you might have about Brazil or Brazilian Portuguese :D
Interleaving - I think is true cause if you spend a little time on each subject or topic you want to learn, in a way you actively doing space repetition so it gets stored easily in your memory
What i have learned Internalizing to Externalizing = Production Effect Production Effect is according to my understanding from our creative master Yanjaa is ..what we produce physically is actually learning. When an idea pops up in our mind, let’s put it into practice. say it out loud . Action over Idea . Do it be disciplinedddd Well, It’s better to do less than nothing .. Active Recall is the Best - What? When? How? - Mind Map -Going back is better than always moving forward “The only way to move forward is to go back.” - Agatha Harkness More focus to chunked info. Interleaving - Our brains have different domains Domains = Doors When you passed through a door, our mind resets . Dunno who said that but i believe in it lol Hope you get what i’m saying Edit: I took notes so that i don’t feel overwhelmed by the information. Ya know sharing some info to my useful notebook than putting all in my brain at once. No way i don’t wAnna be stressessddddx outfxdf Btw i feel less being stressed when i write skl my notebook is mah second brain
i definitely agree with the rubber duck thing u talked about. Especially when u teach something u know kinda well to someone else it kind of locks lets it sink in for you
@@Yanjaa haha yeah! also do u think u could read my msg i sent on insta haha wasnt sure if u use it often but i was talking a bit about ur video on pi. thanks heaps anyway!
Your 5 min study trick is great :) I do something similar but I divide my study to 15min, a total of 45/day. One of the problems of language learning is retention. You have to keep on repeating the word you learn over and over until you know that it is transferred to your long-term memory. And then you have to. revisit the words after a few weeks of not using it.
Yep, I agree. I learned the hard way to: 1. Be actively engaged while learning, meaning either taking notes on a piece of paper if you can (you own notes, your own words, because that will make much more sense to you) or fully engage with the person talking to you, even if it is just a video your watching. If you ask yourself questions while listening or you engage emotionally you are prone to retain more. 2. To learn in chunks, spread over time. Compound learning rather than cramming for hours. 3. Diversify my learning. My biggest mistake in school was focusing too much on the subject I was meant to learn for a test or an exam. 4. Active recall. I am still practising this one as it still does not come fully naturally to me. My teachers were such big fans of rote memorization that it is almost encoded in my DNA now. Reprogramming that is quite hard. What I have yet to try is saying things out loud. I am doing it now with my Japanese, just because I've always been a fan of saying random foreign words in random situations. Thank you for another nice video!
Can you do a video on what is the best way or how to imagine/make that mental map where you store information? You are amazing and keep up the good work! :-)
@@Yanjaa Yeah, nevermind, saw it on one of your older videos. „Mental palace” are words that I was looking for. Are they good for memorising long combined sentences though? Thanks for feedback.
When learning something new, externalize your thoughts into the real world. Whether through paper or your own words. Doing so helps to remember and learn better.
Thank you for another video Yanjaa.🤗 Interleaving, spend some time studying one subject then switch to another subject. Active recall, when you finish a paragraph, test yourself to make sure you understood what you read and create mind maps. Don't cram. Take breaks. Choose handwriting over typing. Say what you're learned out loud.
Aqui é Brasil! Parabéns, por ter conseguido desenvolver essa incrível habilidade, sou brasileiro e estou desenvolvendo memória. Gosto muito dos seus vídeos, quero muito quebrar o recorde brasileiro de memória.
I have learned to space out my modules and try to make a mindmap and best of thing which I always neglect is Active recall thank you so much as I have been unduly stress by my engineering modules which are heavy in content as well as a lot of mathematics and believe your advice will truly help me . 😊 😀
Hey! I have actually made a separate note in Notion specifically for this video with some questions and screenshots to test me with later via active recall.)) This is something that I got from Ali Abdaal. Specifically, from one of his videos on how to build a "second brain".
I think I've been doing the rubber duck one for years now. I always talk to myself when I am coding. I like the idea of learning different things to, I am trying to memorize a deck of cards using the PAO method and learning economics
I am curious about , what is the source of your concerntration power ? Is it just all about tequnics and tricks or you do meditetion to keep your mind sharp clam ?
thats the typical teacher situation not everyone is like that but unfortunately many are they even don´t teach you how to learn what i got was in language subjects "use flashcards" and in Math type subjects "you don´t have to memorize it but understand it" When i look back i think how in the world a child/adult can learn from such a person?
Ive got a bit of an odd question: Are memory/language techniques gender specific? Like a typical woman might be better in certain mental territories than a typical man and vice versa. Like dudes are generally better at spatial related tasks. Of course, this isnt one size fits all and theres always going to be overlap and atypical members of either gender but I'm wondering if that's ever taken into account?
I talk to myself instead of talking to the rubber duck but the problem is, that I don't listen to myself I can't see the sounds niethr the words but if i use movements with my talking, I can remember 50%.
Hello I’m interested in buying your course to improve my reading skills by remember books in a faster paste. Which course you recommend me to get, I see you have 2 courses?
Do you recommend translating texts to different languages you know? I often study subjects doing this, it helps me get to grips with concepts and their usage.
@@Yanjaa Honestly, I've found it helps a bit with both. Maybe not for beginner level learning of a language, but definitely for learning more vocabulary after having learned the basics.
Hey great content. You and this other guy named Ron White are really helpful. I'm curious which memory techniques you're using to learn how to code. I can't seem to think of a solid plan for learning javascript. If you get back to me ill give you a like. =)
