- I failed a geography exam in the fourth grade and it scarred me and my rote memorization skill for a decade. A challenge from a community member made me finally confront my weakness. Yes, this is a reupload. I got a copyright strike from for the Hollow Knight soundtrack and it makes the video so bad that I would rather just reupload to have something I'm proud of on the channel haha.

oof
That's a rip
sad
It’s a great vid don’t mind watching it 2 times lol. This is the vid that made me sub
F
I started taking notes in college, and I would title every lecture's notes based on how I felt that day, like "FIN 466: The Pain Of Getting Up Edition." I think it helped me get into the right mindset to understand the material better because I was making a connection between my mood and recent experiences and the topics in lecture.
Oh ur the nice dude from his typing vid!
Not gonna lie I hope he starts uploading again I really enjoyed his videos.
yeah what happened
guess he got tired of using social media
Same
Yeah man he's only person where i see myself
His focusing on his mental health if you go to his twitch
@redwolf playz he is back!
When he isnt streaming i realize that i really miss this guy
Same
Where’d he go?
@@chasedunn6259 i really wish i knew man. He said he is working on youtube stuff a few months ago but idk
@@heav3786 maybe hes learning a lanuage

Recommended when video came out "1 minute ago"
lol ikr ngl your great at everything i just need motivation
@@jakeo4817 lol sure
Ohhh, so that’s why I felt like I watched this before, it’s a re-upload
yep, sorry bout that haha
Thought the same thing lol
OH, that’s why it has like no views
I feel so sorry for Pingu, the quality of this video is on par with his other content; he gets 500k views, and then yt bends him over and fists him algorithmic style 😭😭😭
i'll take the 500k tbh, i'm not that upset about it haha
@@Pinguefy true that pingu senpai☺️☺️☺️
Well the algorithm did him good today. I don’t even like typing, but his most recent vid was on the recommended section and I gotta say that it was PHENOMENAL
@@kwen9826 yup👏

when the recommendations are faster than post notifications
that's crazy LOL

I can attest to the idea of no one being inherently bad at math (this obviously has some exceptions for serious mental disabilities. Even then people are always surprised by what they can do.)
I used to know so little math, I never got past third grade, and I remember crying because I couldn't do three digit addition when I was young. My grammar and spelling were pretty bad, and I didn't know much geography either.
I remember one of the first things I taught myself was my months. I had never been taught my months because I was homeschooled, and it seems my parents forgot to teach me a lot of subjects. I actually owe Roblox a lot for my improvement in spelling and grammar. The site has actually been around since 2006, and it used to be a lot more creative, and a lot less of a mobile trash dump. I also learned programming on Roblox. At the time I didn't really understand the difference between scripting, and programming, so I wasn't really sure how applicable what I was learning was, but I liked it a lot. After many years I actually became good enough at it where I needed to start learning some math to do what I wanted, which is what made me decide to go to high school.
I did pretty well because of my interest in math from programming, and I'm now studying computer science at college. I don't think I ever would have learned math if I didn't have a use for it, and over time I actually grew to like the subject. I think that's the hard part to every subject, finding what you like about them.
Also, Plague Inc was a huge help with my geography. Still don't know many capital cities though.
Yeah, same here. I think in school they just accept when you’re bad in math, like it’s so normalised instead of trying to interests the students in the subject and making it more accessible. Because if you don’t learn the basics, you can’t “level up” in math. I was really bad in math especially calculating things, but my understanding wasn’t too bad in some subjects and I realised too late that the school curriculum was just really sh*t in explaining things.
Nowadays I do a lot bester but calculating by hand and under time pressure is still hard for me, but my understanding is good and I realised I’m actually not too stupid for math
Practice, patience and a penguin is all it takes.
i love that haha

I got straight A's, but also didn't learn "how to learn" in school, and actually kind of hated learning afterwards. 7 years later, I tried to finally pick up learning Japanese again... I had some motivations that kept me going long enough to discover that I loved learning, and that mnemonics were the key for me. Now I try to make them up for anything that I want to remember. Complete game changer.
When I was memorizing kanji meanings by keywords, I made up mnemonics for about 20 at a time. It was a bit time consuming to make up the mnemonics but I was able to recall all the meanings with only a few flashcards reps each to reinforce them. I was even able to write them from memory when prompted (given that I had learned the basics of writing kanji previously). Did this for over 1000 kanji over a few months and now reading through native material is so much more doable. Yeah, mnemonics are pretty cool.
I also learned the basics of Python even though in the past I thought I was destined to be bad at programming. I actually enjoy it!
This video (and this channel) is fucking beautiful. It's inspired me to fix my life. For years now, I've been sailing off talent, playing video games for hours and hours instead of revising, and constantly scrambling for motivation to work, to learn, and enjoy life itself. Thank you man. This video as well as your viewer interviews have really helped me.

I don't know why you dropped off of the face of social media, but whatever you're doing, take care of yourself, man.
New video just dropped
This is the second video of yours that I've watched (the first being the Dactyl Manuform keyboard video).
This is...so relaxing to listen to. It's like sitting and talking with a friend at 11 at night.
your videos are very motivational, keep up the good job man!
Dude you really inspire me to be the best I can, seeing the hardwork and effort you put into things you want to get good at and seeing the human side where you struggle, helps me believe that I can achieve what I want to achieve too, it makes me want to pick up a pencil and work on improving my art skills :)
I wish you would do even more videos, cause your vids are rly high qualty and i rly enjoy watching them. :)
Dude, I absolutely loved the vid.
I had never thought of thinking more in-depth about the strategy of learning.
Straight up, more people should see this.
everyone should rewatch the whole thing for the algorithm

Man I wish you uploaded more often, I love your videos!
hope you're doing well dude
Much love man. Hopefully get some time to tune into the stream again soon. I'll always support your content.
Happy Holidays! Thank you so much, wishing you the same. We hope this season ends on a joyful note and continues into a safe and prosperous New Year for you and your Family.
I know i’m pretty late but i really appreciate this video. i was homeschooled all my life and i did not get a lot of education at all. it’s refreshing to see someone with the same struggle. lol
This vid actually inspired me to get into a lot of improvement/memory stuff, so thanks for the new obsession(s)!
(I’ve already learned a ton of geography and I’ve improved at typing an incredible amount!)
Inspiration is 10% of the work
Did you still have inspiration 1 week later?
@@triachinidx436 for once, yes!
This video was oddly comforting, glad Yt recommended me to you.
omg master, this is so powerful. thank you for the video. please make more i love you.
Man I miss this guy
I'd love to have your mindset, this is just amazing
very good video inspired me to learn more about learning, thank you for sharing :=)
Congrats on 200k!!! You deserve it
His outlook on life is so motivating and positive! People made fun of me for always getting the “most improved” award, saying it means I started out dumb. But I say that it’s a badge of accomplishment. Love you man
Just you talking about school in the first 2 min got me into ptsd mode bruh lol. What a life. I hope it all works out one day for everyone here including myfriends , family and myself
The nice thing about mnemonic devices is that there is no need for any logical or causal connection for them to work. Often trying to find one helps memorizing already, and if it is illogical or strange that can help as well, because memory works by separating the general or "boring" from the special. The brain doesn't need to memorize "normal" stuff, but special stuff.
This will be a viral one I got it on my recommendation too. UA-cam recommendation is super good lately.
Good that I find out this video in my recommendation section, that brings me motivation.
Noooo why did this reupload, this video was a masterpiece
Hope you are enjoying your studies and life outside of social media Mr Pinguefy. But when you are able to come back, you should as your channel is amazing and I enjoy your videos to this day.
that last part where you convinced the guy to study math was kinda wholesome ngl hopw he did good at his math assignment
okay this Might sound like a backhanded compliment but i mean it only in a good way: knowing that you are uh. less than stellar at rote memorization has made me very happy and has given me a very big boost in confidence at least for now, because it kind of cements the thing i've been told all my life that like "oh, everyone's good at different things, don't worry about being good at everything" because i was watching your channel and thinking "damn this guy is good at everything :/" and then BAM. hit in the face by the fact that you thought baghdad was the capital of like. belarus or something. and that really helped me, because i'm shit at a lot of things, but maybe there are cool things that i will be able to get good at a little easier due to how my brain works, like how some of the things on your channel were probably a bit easier for you, unlike geography. (not trying to downplay your hard work here! you obviously put a lot of effort into everything you do). but then? you went and figured out how to get good at this shit? like wow, maybe we can't be naturally inclined to be good at everything, but there's a way for us to get better at anything we devote our time to, if we just figure out what works for us! and that gives me a lot of hope and confidence in myself. i'm gonna try to like. learn a new thing or something! at least do some testing to see if i can find how i learn best. thanks for doing all the stuff you do! hope this makes sense and isn't weird or anything
I feel like i just heard my future self speaking about how to fix my life. This man is my spirit animal
this is one of my favorite videos
"and they said no good could come from bullying"
-pinguefy
lmao
Glad there is the reupload, i wanted to remember how to have an actual good memory
Nice to see you again after 4 months away (Though I was gone for longer than 4).
At this point, you may as well be a living god among us with all this knowledge because I have no sanity to do all of this
Yo ping, you probably will never come across this message and I know this video is 3 months old, but I want you to know that u are very big inspiration, see I was stuck because I love math and I also love video games, and wanna learn coding but I felt like I could only choose one, but you talking about improving has really gave me hope that I can do school, maths, science, learn coding and video games just organised and a goal to improve in each one, coding and video games have been a thing I have been in between about, but from watching you improve in each one, I no longer have to choose, I can get better at video games and learn coding, thanks ping, I've known ur channel for a while now, almost 2 years, so thank you, you probably wont come across this message and ik it's super long, but I just wanted to say this, and when I have doubts, I come back to your vids, good luck and I hope to see u upload again soon!
thanks for the kind words
Hope you learning and doing well
Thanks for this, i've been struggling to remember stuff in school lately cause there's just so much going on.
best of luck :D
This was quite cool to watch, though the idea of making stories to memorise things struck me. I am learning Japanese and the amount of chinese-originating characters that are used is a lot (+2200 common ones). I came across a method from an author called Heisig who calls it "imaginative memory" on how to memorise them. Many characters are made up of smaller parts, mostly other simpler smaller words within them. And to remember the character, you can make a story out of these words relating to the key one. To this point, I've memorised +1600, a bit sketchy here and there, but the majority is fine. That is something I definitely never thought I'd achieve.
This is such a good channel
was confused by the reupload but idm rewatching lol
Thank you for putting a smile on face
Yes sir. Reciting and writing what I’m hearing is effective for language learning for me. I have to work on the memory palace too still & more abstract mnemonics
I really hope he posts a new video, I love these vids
very inspirational
also the final run was epic

This is the fine dining of quality content
Please make more videos if you can 😭 , they are very interesting to watch.
It's unlikely but hopefully he will
Hey pinguefy, you are one of my favorite youtubers and I watch all your videos. When you upload it truly makes my day. Whenever I watch your videos and I see the games you play I instantly intrigued by the game and want to play it but a lot of the time I don't know the name of the game. So it's there any (preferably free) game recommendations or games you play? Thanks!
i love this man, i think i watched every single one of his vids and i think. a skill you should learn is geometry dash or a dance of fire and ice. basically rythm games that are fairly difficult
i wouldnt call geometry dash "fairly difficult"
@@meepacheep7186 boi geometry dash is hard asf. look up npesta
ngl i wouldnt call geometry dash a rhythm game
@@meepacheep7186 Everyone listing top extreme demons(hardest levels even for the best players) out of the bat lol. I’ll accept your opinion if you Beat X-Step in less than fifteen or twenty attempts.

don't worry man, i'll watch it again
I love how the younger you have the same glasses but proportionally smaller haha AMAZING ―
I memorized the entire periodic table of elements. I think my name can tell.
I was so excited to see his new video but it's just a re-upload
I'm glad that youtube recommend me this video that quickly
I find it really interesting that so many brains are drawn to learning the same things. Like, I go through phases where I challenge myself online with WPM and geography stuff, and recently bought a Rubik's Cube, since I've always wanted one but never had one, and have begun to learn that as well. Many nerdy folks also get into music and web/video design, which I also find interesting, because those are supposedly "arts", rather than "sciences", but I think there's something very cerebral about creating things that can be heard, seen, graphed, etc. Music is very mathematical, and you can tell stories with audio and video. I think there's not as much of a divide between the arts and sciences as we tend to think, the way we approach creation is just a bit different (more methodical types, and the more free-form arty types).
I've got some health issues going on that have given me terrible brain fog, ruined my memory, given me aphasia issues, made it hard to type/write (adding letters, changing tenses, reversing parts of words, combining words, replacing words, skipping words), and just made me feel incredibly stupid, and feeling my intelligence doing a sudden freefall has made me start to practice more and more things, and become obsessive about weird shit, because it's disconcerting to be able to literally feel your brain struggling to process things when you've spent your life being incredibly intelligent. I feel like the only way I'll be able to hold onto my brain is to make it work overtime, teaching it constant new things, and striving to be more than it was before, even though it can't accomplish the common things it used to do with ease. It's weird, and I realize I'm probably just in denial about the state of things, but until I'm dead, I'm going to keep teaching myself more pointless shit... even if I never remember it. *lol*
We all have skills. We just don't recognize them and take it for granted.
I learnt the memory palace from a memory book I have... Loved the video.
I agree making stories for memorizing things always helps
Hey man, I just found your channel and I really like your content.
Where have you gone?
your voice is really relaxing for some reason
i love your channel man i just found you
ur uploads were so gooddddd pls come back
I personally remember best when I write something down. I remember a time when I had procrastinated all my homework and I had to memorize a speech that was due that day. I was in a rush to get to school and I only had the first sentence remembered so I wrote it down a couple times and there it was stuck in my head. I then went on to read it aloud about 20-40 times that afternoon.
Miss watching your vids and streams
bro how the HECK do u do such GREAT videos
Inspiring man, thanks
I love this method of learning and im gonna try this with skating. the thing is tho, skating causes real pain, and it just scares me and ive quit for about a month now. I know u won't see this but it will give me a new mind set when it comes to learning new things.
sounds sick, good luck!
@@Pinguefy post another video please
just found this channel through the qwerty video and can't stop watching
"and they said no good could come from bullying" that really got me lol
BRO RETURN! YOU DESERVE TO GET MILION SUBS GREETING FROM POALND
Dang, the Rule of Rose music brought back so many memories
The way you said Canberra enraged me to an unreasonable level
So hyped for a new video but it’s a reupload. Pain
there's another new video but it's a lil different lol
miss you man, hope u doing good
My man, You're awesome
strangely enough, I went down a super similar route for memorization because I realised I could remember random details about memes and inside jokes. but then after making these really obscure stories that I would laugh with my friends about, I completely forgot about it the next week--i then gave up on memorization for the next year 💀
at first, I was like wait a minute did I see this entire video in one of my future predicting dreams and then I was like no that can't be because those dreams are always like 1 sec long and then I was the comment that this a reupload
proof we can do anything we set our mind to with the right confidence
Just discovered this channel, I really like it. :) His voice is cool too.
Too bad he isn't posting :(
and when the world needed him most... he was gone
ill be waiting
Hi pingu,
Also do learn about mnemonic super memory method to memorize them.
I took a mnemonic class in institute call manokranti and they also gave meh a book naming super learning 1-2-3 these book have a formula to remember 100+ word and then hook them to any use like paragraph , element name anything you could literally imagine of
I lived in Nepal so I have applied this method to remember 75 district name of my country at 2010 ( I could not belive myself lol I did that because I am the worst student of my school getting 0 grades haha)
See, I can't even blame how you started out, cause I'm literally also just this bad-
The fact that you are able to learn with people watching you is amazing to me.
i do most of it on my own time, since it does put some pressure to perform that can distract me haha
Dude, where are you ? It’s been a year already, we miss you .
been almost a year since youve uploaded, i hope youre doing well
same, i can memorize bits of information, but when the infos are a lot, i usually create a story or relate to things. atlhough it seems dumb or unrelated at all, i can remember it
This was a very nice video
