How To Use Flashcards For Language Learning (5 Rules)

[@michealstephenbingham1236]

How the hell do you speak so WELL!!!! (I'm a native English speaker) You give me so much inspiration for learning a new language. Your pronunciation and fluency is perfect... just HOW!?

[@antonioedwards1309]

Holy shit I've been doing 87 Flashcards a day and it's really burning me out, I'm so greatful for your video, now I can heavily reduce the load. I was getting demotivated and questioning my ability which made me even more set on proving I could do it. Thanks for releasing me from this Pit.

[@loistalagrand]

I'm glad! I've been there multiple times.

[@antonioedwards1309]

@@loistalagrand 10 feels do-able quite quickly, how long do I need to keep up with the repetition before moving on?

[@mahdisalmanizadegan5595]

For me, the best way to learn a new piece of vocabulary is to write it down in my notebook with its definition, and then I make some sentences using that particular word. It has worked for me in an amazing way.

[@VladimirS38]

sometimes I have troubles with making interesting sentences with new memorized words. Recently I have discovered chat GPT and it helps me a lot. I can choose from multiple options suggested to me the best one for me.

This is a good video, very knowledgeable. This guy needs to be given a reward.

You speak better English than me and I’m a native.

Amazing video. I liked your channel, I found your channel accidentally and so glad to be here cause there are numerous knowledgeable videos😊

[@drleo6409]

Translate your language to foreign is something I have never heard. It makes sense. The harder process is more work and more results,

[@loistalagrand]

Yes, that's called "recall" and it's a very efficient way of studying things.

[@JonathanOlelo]

Interesting as usual. Using sentence flashcards with one new word at a time sounds a bit like what a Clozemaster does

[@loistalagrand]

I suppose

[@jhonyermo]

BRILLIANT had to subscribe. Thank you for this. Will be watching quiet a few more times.

[@marshallurban3248]

Has the flash card application been made? I came to this video looking for a good one, and if these principles were implemented in it I would love to try it out

[@F3ARL388]

Brilliant and underrated. Thank you 😊

[@TinfoilHatGirl]

Hi, what about the flash card app project? Did you make it in the meantime? I wanted to start using memrise but come to find out that recent updates have killed the well established flashcard idea behind it, so maybe if you haven't started the flash card app project there might be a void to be filled. Or else if it already exists where can I find your flashcard app?

[@aapris1986]

Where would you suggest to search for those 2000 most popular words in language (German in my case)? Also maybe there are some ready flashcard sets containing most popular words and phrases?

[@loistalagrand]

There are plenty of free premade decks here: ankiweb.net/shared/decks/

[@TobiasMaximus1]

Amazing video, thank you !

[@nguyenthinh7954]

Hi Lois Talagrand, i admire your work a lot. Could you please make a video on how to remember characters in languages like Japanese, Chinese....? I recently learned Chinese but the character was a huge challenge for me to remember.

[@loistalagrand]

I'll think about it.

[@pinguino_de_noche]

Solid video, good advice, ⚓👍

[@renzostefanmp7937]

Wow, I thought you were a native English speaker. Great video.

[@loistalagrand]

Thanks:

[@omarperezprada]

It's amazing if you are going to make a flas card aplicación. Thanks

[@mickami200]

❤ your English

[@skatemore33]

Did you ever make the app? What you described sounds pretty similar to the "reword" app

[@シトシト-c7k]

how many years have you studyed english to become so fluent? from japan shito

[@ronlugbill1400]

Do you know where we can get sentences with the most common words in different languages?

[@loistalagrand]

[@ter2710]

I can't believe that your first language is French. Only if you live in Canada in a bilingual area.

[@deadlypendroppingby]

Is the app already out?

[@MichaelWatt-u4i]

Would have really been great had you made a list of apps to use and a list of the 1st 2nd 3rd list of the 500 most common words. In english would have been good as there will never be a premade app for Albanian. I have been here for yrs. I can make sentences but most of the time they talk, i dont understand them.

[@mateusrodrigues9165]

I've been using flashcards in the wrong way though. I put the sentence in the language that I'm learning in the front, and the transition in the back. Should I throw away all of my flashcards? I have 7 months of them. :(

[@chahailus]

It works great that way in the beginning stages. After hitting intermediate you can start to translate into your target language. It's beneficial to be translate bidirectionally. Good luck!

[@MrGurkanify]

Excellent , merci

Good common sense rules.

[@abdurhmanal4574]

Thank you

[@loistalagrand]

You're welcome

[@ryuujianimemanga8475]

I get your points but what should i do when im starting learning a language and don't even know a single word so i can't make a sentence with only 1 new word because i don't know any other words

[@dewymoss5639]

try to learn some other basic words to write basic sentences on your own, and then work from there

[@loistalagrand]

Focus on one word per sentence.

[@JalalMammedov]

​@@loistalagrandCan you give a more detailed answer? I didn't get it.

[@jasminjwhite]

I was SHOCKED when you mentioned that English is your second language. I would have thought you were a native speaker based on your total lack of an accent!

[@CookiesCreations-tm5ts]

i wonder when he learned it

[@elupemano8758]

1.25x speed is perfect. ...thank me later

[@leandrolucato]

I would find reviewing flashcards for retention too boring. I think I'd rather read through a long list of words, dive into more immersive activities and maybe review the list only a month later

[@loistalagrand]

It's true that most people find flashards boring. My advice would be to still use flashcards, but make it a small part of your learning.

[@leandrolucato]

@@loistalagrand I guess so. If I keep reading and listening during the time I would have spent reviewing too many flashcards I think I would encounter some words from the cards and make learning more fun. Flashcards on the other hand could help me keep memory of a larger vocabulary of words that are uncommon. I'd still need time to practice by using techniques like shadowing dialogues, talking, etc
