Hi guys, I have a question based on languages. To provide context, nearly every word in polish is spelled how it’s pronounced. E.g it doesn’t have any silent letters. I am fluent in polish when it comes to speaking, it is my mother tongue and I speak it at home. My spelling isn’t horrible although I want to improve it and I’m curious if there’s any way to learn, and or memorise the letter combinations. For example: dz,dź,dż,rz,szcz. These are all sound based therefore I’m curious if I can apply any memory techniques. 1 post - 1 participant Read full topic ..read more

Would be to use AnkiApp (50 words x4 times a day) by chunking the foreign word and it’s translation as images. Even if I forget 30-50% of the words, spaced repetition would practically guarantee that ill remember retain 100% over time. Memorizing an entire dictionary alphabetically. I have no idea how this would work, using memory palaces to learn the words seems even more tedious than rote learning them (and its not even rote if you can memorize 70% of the vocab basically first try), the vocabulary needs to be ‘motoric’, not linear imo. The former system seems much more effective and effici ..read more

Today and yesterday, I memorized around 300 Italian words. I didn’t use the method of loci; instead, I connected each Italian word with its German equivalent (I am Swiss). These images are simply sitting in a white room without any specific locations. Is this an effective way to memorize a large number of words, or should I consider using the method of loci? 10 posts - 5 participants Read full topic ..read more

I have made lists of a few words each. The words are German nouns. A small list either uses the neuter gender for it’s nouns (and ascending alphabetical ordering) or a small word list uses only feminine words in descending order. If I can remember the list then sort order tells me the gender. I did this with common 5 letters or less words. Then I did a fresh listing exercise like that for singular words which end in el, er or en. For the length 5 or under lists, if I am thinking a word of say 4 letters but it is not in any list then it is probably masculine. I used a linked list approach to pr ..read more
