Anki is great at buring words into your brain, seeing them in context is where you actually subcounsiously internalize the language. Anki won't teach you a langauge, immersion will, Anki just helps speed up the process of immersion, it's not a replacement.

ive been studying for 8 months and im inclined to completely agree. i mastered a lot of these words on flashcards like no tomorrow, but boom! AS SOON as it comes up in a game or show its like DUHHHHHH cobwebs literally just use it as a tool to introduce new words, or brush up on some that are rusty if the word comes up, then it comes up. There is definitely a little bit of luck involved but you can try to cater it to what you're watching like animes around school versus like a role playing game set in an ancient kingdom kind of deal its like reading a playbook over and over 200 times and then going to practice it 5 times. not gonna do much

It definitely gets a lot easier when you get to the point of making cards from your own experiences. Ironically, the first 4k'ish words I learned that were mostly pre-made felt incredibly, incredibly hard to remember. I couldn't recognize many of them in native context outside of my own cards. Every 1k mark further I'd get, the more impossible it'd feel. Many points I thought "Can I really learn 1,000 more of these?" So many words sound very similar and overlapped in my mind. After that initial hurdle, once I began making my own flashcards from games, manga, and subtitled Netflix shows, my retention went through the roof. I'm at around 15k words learned and feel I could learn double that amount all over again without issue because it's simply so much more engaging and fun. Cards have been direct results of my own memories and experiences for some time now. Since it's been a 4-year journey, some may even feel nostalgic at times helping that natural retention. Some take me back to the time I was at my first apartment in the U.S., some to the time I studied in Japan, "this is when I played my favorite childhood PS1 game in Japanese," etc. It's made the process of acquiring new words something to look forward to as opposed to dread. When the cards feel like your own children, you can see a card you made 3 years ago and remember the moment like it was yesterday.

Anki helps with spacing your reviews. But you still gotta learn outside of those flashcards by reading or listening. It's even said on Anki website,

the youtuber Livakivi almost exclusively did anki for the first 1000 days of his journey and he said that it made a huge difference in his comprehension and basically he didn't start immersing earlier because he found the content boring at low comprehension levels, what is your take on that

Hmmm I think that’s very interesting and i definitely see potential but if you’re doing 1000 days of anki and not immersing at all then that’s a bit weird for 3 years of studying Japanese. At the end of the day if the result is what you hoped for then go for it, but you’ll likely get a much nicer result doing some anki and then passive listening and immersion

This is such a bad idea. If you want to learn how to use a certain word in an appropriate way, you need to read a lot of example where that word is used. And how you can do that? By reading A LOT

Can you make a video about tolerating ambiguity ? I know it's a core tenant of refold/AJATT but I can't help but feel like it's not that useful or I'm zoning out if I can't properly understand. To fix this, I often will allow myself to miss some sentences, but I'll go back and look at like every 4th sentence's meaning and maybe even look back at the translation to see what's going on. Looking for some guidance and love the videos man! It's cool to have someone cover such a niche topic!

Anki is the bane of my soul. I used it for Mandarin and nothing is worse than seeing you have 200 reviews after not doing it for a few days…I got PTSD from that 😅 For Japanese I am using graded readers and the Umi app for now.

When you know the most common words and you sentence mine more words that often will see in immersion but not a lot like ( 喪失(そうしつ) or 粉砕(ふんさい)) for example, do you think it's a waste of time or is it worth it to mine all the words?

If you're doing immersion by watching anime or whatever but don't understand most of it, will that even be helpful for immersion? Do you have to keep on pushing through the stage of not understanding most of it until your brain starts to sort it out or do you have to find a different approach?

Hey Ryan, is there a specific immersion method you use when for example watching an episode for an anime. Like maybe halfway into the the episode where they usually have a few seconds break, do you try to recap kind of what happened, whether intense or not? e.g. these characters had a conversation about valentine's day. Why? Because I remember they said these words... and then move on since you don't want to stay too long in one part?
@ryacw
15 күн бұрын
When I did a lot of anime immersion I would load the subtitles and then pause for every sub, read it and try to figure out what’s going on, then unpause and hear the dialogue. That’s good for reading and listening but also do freeflow immersion where you don’t pause at all.

You have become one of my favorite KZitem creators, you are going to blow up one of these days bro! Quick question also, can someone get fluent in a language if they were to say do listening only (KZitem etc.) for a few hours everyday? Like straight native content no baby stuff. Do you know of any research on this method of learning as compared to when we read and we can actually feel our progression and we can’t really feel the progression in listening? Sorry if that was kind of long, I hope you understood my question.

Appreciate the support bro 🙏 like with most immersion, pure listening works better when it’s comprehensible and there’s a ton of i+1 sentences being said (you know every word except 1) but input doesn’t always NEED to be i+1 comprehensible. But depending on your level, if you have a very basic vocab of like 1000-2000 words then pure listening might be challenging so I suggest listening to podcasts while looking at a transcript for example. Usually when I do pure listening it’s passive listening. Best of luck!
