I have so much to learn from you, still reading your book CTF. And now I will learn vim and other helpful tools to make some faster progress. Thank you 🙏 Ps. I definitely think you should do a collaboration with "Thai talk with Paddy" as @Andrew Dunbar suggested.

Hey Stu, thanks so much! Can you please make a video (or two) showing you you study vocab en masse? I think you mentioned somehwere that when you start in a language, you learn a few thousand words (and later learn how to use them in context). Is that true? Can you show us your memorization hacks? Thanks!

I'll be doing a session on memorisation techniques - however, honestly, when it comes to practical language learning, mass memorisation has less of a priority for me compared to actually putting the language into use, experiencing it and being meaningful in the language. Having said that, there are some core memorisation skills that I always use - the ability to think LOUDLY and colourfully is essential.

Very clever and original methods, thanks for sharing. I know these tools, but never really used them for this purpose. I might give it a try, looks fun, need to have a look at that Thai parser. Have you seen the tools the Migaku guys are making, btw? Might be interesting to you if you've not checked it out.

WIth just a few command line skills and VIM, so much is possible. I just checked out those Migaku tools - they look fantastic. For me, I find the actual MAKING of the tool and the resources one of the most important elements in the learning process. Putting the time and energy into making them, I learn along the way.

Yes, you learn a lot while creating your own resources! It looks fun to use the coding skills that I don't really use much for work nowadays too, cheers.

Learning to read Korean is easy. Most people can do it between a couple of hours and maybe a week or so. Learning to write Korean is unexpectedly quite a bit harder because many jamo have the same sound at the end of a syllable. Using the one for "s" to make a final "t" sound is jarring probably for all westerners. But more than that, you don't always know when a jamo belongs at the end of one syllable or the beginning of the next, sometimes both. The three series of k/t/p consonants are also trickier in writing than in reading and then there are the ㅔ and ㅐ which most but not all Koreans pronounce alike. In the end I find myself having to memorize Korean spellings much like in English. My Korean is crap and I'm no expert really but just like Pinyin, people often oversell it as trivially easy which can come back to bite people when they find out it actually requires a bit of effort after all.

Yeah - though this is what we get into in mindkraft - the whole 's' to 't' and things like that are actually totally normal phenomena that happen across many languages and can be understood when you're looking at Korean in the context of the Sound Matrix. The major hurdle for Native European language speakers learning languages like Korean or Thai, is that it's filtered through the paradigms of English / European languages without a more macro understanding of sound. Once you have that - and it's link to the mouth, all the tones, sound quirks, spelling etc of most of the languages in this part of the world make sense.

Hey Stu have you ever seen the KZitem channel of fellow Aussie and fellow Thai speaker "Thai Talk with Paddy"? He just hit 100k subs after only two years at it and seems like a really nice guy. I reckon you two should find a way to do a video together. Or maybe guest on each others channels? Your channel deserves more exposure, maybe it's still hard to find?

How does the system work for Thai with no spaces between words?
@StuartJayRaj

It works perfectly with Thai - helped with one extra step. There are free python libraries out there for helping with manipulating different languages' texts, and there is one especially designed for Thai called 'tltk' - it has a function called 'word_segment', so all I have to do is highlight my text in Thai that I've pasted into VIM, and feed it to that function. This is what the before and after looks like - this took all of 2 seconds to perform: BEFORE กำลังเป็นคลิปที่เป็นประเด็นร้อนอย่างมากในโซเชียลมีเดีย หลังจากที่มีภาพเหตุการณ์การโต้เถียงกันระหว่าง ครูอ้อย กับ ครูแพง ผู้ใช้ทวิตเตอร์รายหนึ่งระบุข้อความว่า AFTER กำลัง เป็น คลิป ที่ เป็น ประเด็น ร้อน อย่าง มาก ใน โซ เชียล มีเดียหลังจาก ที่ มี ภาพ เหตุการณ์ การ โต้เถียง กัน ระหว่างครู อ้อยกับ ครู แพงผู้ใช้ ทวิต เตอร์ ราย หนึ่ง ระบุ ข้อความ ว่า Once it's separated into word segments, you can do it exactly the same way. Then in vim, you can then run sort -u to give you a unique list of words for your glossary - here's the result from the text above: กัน การ กำลัง ข้อความ ครู คลิป ทวิต ที่ ประเด็น ภาพ มาก มี มีเดียหลังจาก ระบุ ระหว่างครู ราย ร้อน ว่า หนึ่ง อย่าง อ้อยกับ เชียล เตอร์ เป็น เหตุการณ์ แพงผู้ใช้ โซ โต้เถียง ใน

@@StuartJayRaj I'm going to have to look at that. I'm not really a Python guy but I am a coder and I've played with text segmentation in the past. How accurate do you find it? People that have worked on this stuff always say it's impossible to get it perfect due to ambiguities and you therefore compensate for that by having an ever-increasing dictionary in the code that the algorithm looks at. A couple of years ago one of the guys on Wiktionary insisted that he invented a better segmenter and I believe his also does the tones, transliteration, and pronunciation on Wiktionary. It's all in Lua, which is a much less powerful language than Python.
