I'm really grateful for this story. it is story! it sounds so refreshing in the topic I thought I know it helped me realize that there is no other way to get vocabulary I need in Japanese I need to read by myself. I mean self-selected reading even though I barely able to understand the language but I need vocabulary and it's better start not with flash cards but right away with the text I would like to understand. and combine it with the listening I already do I feel like I'm not ready but it is better to jump into compelling input and just start to do it and step by step I'll build my comprehension and knowledge
I am glad that you liked it. It is hard to beat the combination of a large amount of listening at the beginning followed by a large amount of reading. That 1-2 punch delivers the goods every time. Of course, we are talking huge amounts of input. Good for you. Thank you for writing. Oh, yes for the most part flash cards are a relic of the past. Maybe to learn characters like Kanji but for vocab, we deserve better than flashcards.
Good for you. You've got this important knowledge, which for sure will help improve your vocabulary in your target language. Keep doing it every day, is the best way.
You are most welcome. You can infer that the weather in the park is cold and windy. We will be in the studio more for a while. I will try to make it interesting.
Thank you very much for this outstanding lesson on input comprehension. I have a question related to output that I consider critical when engaging in foreign language learning. Please tell me about the time you devoted😢 to writing. Can one neglect this task and only focus on input? What about speaking practice? In your case, as a native English speaker, you are exposed to it all day long - is that correct?
Oh, an excellent question. Writing is output. So, it is somewhat important but later in the process. It addresses literacy rather than fluency. Many people can speak a language but are illiterate. I choose to be literate as well so I read and write the target language. Writing is important but comes later. And, yes, you can neglect this aspect and focus on speaking only, if you like. Speaking practice is emphasized early in traditional language learning methods. This causes frustration. Speaking practice is important, but should amount to about 10% of the input. So, with 2000 hours of Spanish input, I am working on getting 200-300 hours of speaking practice. Speaking practice can and should come later in the process compared to listening and reading. Yes, as a native speaker, I receive input all day in English. This results in very gradual acquisition of more vocabulary.
great job
Thank you for your support.
