Languages hack! Anki + Assimil

[@pauchannel]

You might be interested in knowing that: 1) Assimil books from 2017 already include the audio cut so no need to use Audacity 2) I uploaded a whole video on how I learn Finnish on day 1 so you can see how a full study session looks like. Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWiQn2ujo9-tmZI

[@radimasto6379]

Assimil has an app now

[@marvinnedamascenoferreira9315]

Mano, qual programa você usa para fazer os cortes? Valeu. (Já deve ter aprendido português RS)

[@kafkascat2736]

I always come back to this video it's excellent.

[@jwmacmillan]

instead of saving each clip individually, highlight, press Ctrl-B in Audacity to label each section. Then go to file - export multiple. Way faster!

[@pauchannel]

wow john!! what a trick! definitely checking it out ! thanks!

[@AdriBoiiiz]

Just started learning about audacity + anki + assimil put together (thanks to pau) and now you tell me this? amazing! This makes my life so much easier. Thank you very much

[@mmlemonade]

I use to do the same but cutting the audio with Quicktime on Mac. Now I just use the built-in text-to-speech feature :) Much faster!

[@paullebon323]

I was doing this 10 years ago with Pimsleur and Anki. Actually, I was using Jmemorize before Anki existed but it didn't have sound. I simply dragged and dropped the text and ripped the audio with Audacity.

Genial! Vou usar este método para aprender espanhol, talvez eu adapte alguma coisa. Bom vídeo!

[@caiodemaduro6408]

Aprendeu?

[@eseilawimpershlaak]

You could to this with the addon "awesome audio tts" i think thats ay easier and more effective

[@igorkamandokaia-9327]

I'm brazilian and I"m learning english ^^

[@pauchannel]

muito bom! good luck! :)

[@dustsettles6099]

E aí, tudo bom?

[@DanielCarlosLena]

Hello, congratulations for your channel, I like it so much, so, I'm Brazilian and I've been studying German with Assimil, I have a doubt, I should cut all the lessons in small parts, isn't it? And then should I create the words in one side and it's meaning in another one? Thanks.

[@nomecompleto5560]

Como é possível sentar em cima de uma mala?// How can you sit on a suitcase?

[@Vagabund92]

You could also copy all of this into anki right away. No need to pick up the book every time.

[@CScuber14]

How do you create bidirectional cards? Make one card that makes generated the reverse card?

[@murphyryan2583]

do you just do full sentences or do you individual words on anki

[@robertoran929]

Hey!!! love your channel... Ive been watching various videos and i am trying to understand exactly what you do with the assimil material... do you make anki cards for every sentence? then the harder words you also make a card? how many words or sentences do you review in a day??? when do you make the card for the dialogue? the same day you study it? do you shadow the dialogues? you do one lesson a day, but how many lessons do you review a day? Im actually quite fascinated by some of the things you say in the video, but im trying to "make a schedule- routine". Also, do you ever study more than one language at a time? Thanks so much...

[@vagnerneves4627]

Tem idioma tagalog filipino para brasileiros?

[@TheCanon66]

Hey! I didn't see this until I got to lesson 90 in Assimil French... Any way you could post your Anki deck somewhere?

[@victoriahebling]

I'm brazilian and I'm learning french with Assimil

[@pauchannel]

does it work well for you? im still using it with all the other languages and i think i will keep it that way :D

[@IkonicInvst]

Do you put all the lessoins in the same deck or seperate.? TY

[@xzcardiacxz]

Can yo share you english decks? i speak spanish i and would to learn English :/

[@StephBsimon]

I discovered yesterday assimil had a downloadable version for PC and Mac. I bought the Russian. They've done all this work for you. The audio accessibility is phenomenal....

[@pauchannel]

Wow, didn't even know :D are the audios cut in single lines like I do here? Or is it still full conversations? Cause if so it means that i'm beating myself unnecesseraly haha No but still i think the process of puting it on Anki helps a great deal, since I still have to listen to it very focused to try to understand what they say first. And the main point of this is the Spaced Repetition that Anki offers:)

[@StephBsimon]

Look I was very skeptical but I downloaded the demo version because I wanted the material fast. The workflow is very very smooth. You don't have to juggle with the audio and text anymore. You can play the whole text, lines individually and even single words in the vocabulary section. I installed it on my surface pro and I can go anywhere with. Very very well organized... give it a try, I'm sure you'll find you may redirect valuable time instead of prepping.... I've gone through Hebrew with the regular method and really wish I had this back then! I may even give another shot at Hindi ))

[@StephBsimon]

my base language is French though, not sure if it's available in other languages...

[@StevanEC]

I think that the mp3 cds of the Assimil new courses have the audio for every line.

[@pauchannel]

I'm afraid not.. I have to cut them all :(

[@allanperez3530]

Share those decks please

[@waleskaisis]

Oi boa tarde obrigada.

[@JonandEva]

Cool method! I may try it when I get into Mandarin or Arabic soon. I saw you followed us on Twitter. Do you remember how you found us?

[@gabriel-xc8hp]

What was the method you've been using before got into Assimil?

[@ralfrd5]

I'm gonna try your method right away but using audio and sentences from youtube videos with natives youtubers

[@pauchannel]

this is awesome Elver, i use youtube alot but i think downloading the audios might be quite difficult right? I mean, download then cut them and so forth. I think i will talk to my programmer to see if he can build us something from substracting simple phrases :D

[@ralfrd5]

well, download the video in mp3 to export it in audacity, that'll be the most stressful looking for the right and complete sentences and for sure write the sentences because they are no available in pdf, but the material is much more nature and spontaneous.

[@097liambox]

Great idea! But...I'm confused, how do you add the mp3 file to the card? :/

[@gtubo3785]

Hola Pau, me podrías indicar el deck de anki que tu usas para portugués? (soy B1) Saludos desde Italia :)

[@pauchannel]

Chao Guido! Lo creo yo cada día recortando el audio de Assimil :)

[@gtubo3785]

+www.pau.me wow, y lo puedo encontrar en el deck list de anki y lo tienes para ti privado?

[@gtubo3785]

+www.pau.me up

[@pauchannel]

Hola Guido, lo interesante de este deck es que te lo hagas tu mismo cada dia. Cada vez que estudies una lección nueva te lo vayas poniendo en el deck:)

[@gianlucas]

I don't get it: you are saying you are using Spanish as a "Vacular" language? What is that word?

[@Epiphany_Beats]

Can I review anki cards from target language to English because I find the other way round is taking a long time and is harder and I lose motivation and not able to complete anki everyday.what do u think?

[@pauchannel]

id say that each card should be reviewed both ways:) you have to be able to express what you want (english to target), and also understand what they tell you (target to english). Thats why the best way is to get both ways done

[@Epiphany_Beats]

pau yes I would but whatever I do I can't change it to have both target language and native language I'm so frustrated. The only way is to flip all the cards so I can't see both.I would have to keep flipping the card every time I review. So should I just do native language to target language???!

[@pauchannel]

maybe i can make a video on how to create them automatically?

[@Epiphany_Beats]

pau yes maybe that would help thank you!

[@psary644]

Cara, você tá bem ferrado pra aprender nosso idioma hahaha, ainda mais porque não falamos da "forma culta" como é apresentada, o lado bom é que você acha muito conteúdo sobre aprender inglês, estou me aventurando no Russo, mas acho que vou me ferrar legal! Bom Aprendizado. -From: Brazil XD

[@-joaovictor9990]

Eu querendo aprender inglês e ele português kk

[@copo27]

Good method. I am starting using anki because of you, thanks man. I use assimil combine with Shadowing, is a method invented Alexander Argüelles. maybe it helps you. thanks

[@joekriss6986]

do you spend 30 minutes for do a lesson ?

[@pauchannel]

depends actually. Russian can take me around 45 minutes and Portuguese 15, it will always depend on the flashcards of the day :)

[@joekriss6986]

www.pau.me okay thank you ! do you see a progression with this method ?

[@pauchannel]

sure thing! way better progress than when i was going to an academy :) writing a little book about it, but i have several things to explain that is better written than in video

[@ginabisaillon2894]

Maybe somebody should tell you that a cap goes with the visor in the front!

[@direitocivilaudios2775]

Pra mim só funciona se eu escrever saporra.

[@igorsmirnov1645]

You use wrong transcription. It should be "holOdno" instead of "holAdna, "smOtri" instead of "smAtri", "dievOchka" instead of "dievAchka"

[@camn-bv3vq]

Ppl let's get start on HelloTalk app. It's the best choice

[@Rayofsunshine..]

Yo, whats up with youtube recently, to many spam commments. It's getting annoying. Don't believe the fake spam comments, just Gamecrook works for me.

[@lucievec6683]

The most effective way ever? Sorry, but this is not the most effective. You are missing a big part of the learning process - emotions and experiences, which you don't get when you go over vocabulary this way. Language is not learned but acquired.
