[DISCUSSION] Make COMBINATIONS to memorize words.
- Have you ever heard about morse code?
- The most frustrating when you learn it is that you can't remember the order of the dots & dashes.
- Comparing to Japanese letter, I find it harder to remember because at least the Japanese ones resemble some of the images that I can relate to.
- For ex:the letter "to" in Hiragana looks like a "tô" ("bowl" in my language) turning upside dow.
- But for morse code, there's no image nor special sounds to stimulate my brain.
- But then I stumbled upon this website: https://www.morsecode.io/ Surprisingly, after playing around with it for fun for a few minutes, I started to memorize the letters and it was so easy that it scared me.
- That's when I thought "Wow, I have to find out the trick behind this.
- If I manage to obtain it, learning new words would be a game." If you don't want to check the website, it's okay.
- Because I'm going to show you how it works anyway.This game requires you to follow its instruction in this order: 1.
- First, It will show you one LETTER and tell you to type it correctly 3 times. (Ex: A,A,A).
- After the first one, it'll show you 2 more and you will repeat the same thing.
- The the first letters you will learn will be A,B,C 2.
- Then, instead of giving you new letters, it'll start giving you COMBINATIONS of the 3 letters you've been showed.
- Ex: AB,BA,ABC,BBA,.... and so on. 3.
- After you manage to pass all the quiz, it'll give you 3 more letters then the whole process will repeat.
- One different thing is the later combinations will include ALL the letters you have learned in previous steps.
- So if you can reach D-E-F, there'd be some of the combinations like ADF or BEC.
- ------ If you care about language learning, you might have figured out the most obvious trick it uses is REPEATING.
- But what makes it special?
- It's the COMBINATION.
- Because just by repeating some words in the SAME order won't be able to stimulate your memory as much.
- Moreover, you might have a hard time remember the words you've learned when they are used in different orders/situations even though you've been practicing it for many times.
- Let's give an example: Imagine you want to learn 3 WORDS: Chicken - Cook - Dish.
- Instead of "just imagining" those words and repeating, you can start by "making some combinations" out of them": 1.
- The chicken cooks me some dishes. 2.
- I love to cook chicken dishes. 3.
- The cook love chicken, but not the dishes. 4.
- The best dishes to cook is the chicken dishes.
- You might think "you just write the same thing but phrase it in different ways!", that's the point.
- By forcing yourself phrasing one content in various ways, you can: (1) Force your brain to work harder and make it more active, (2) Avoid getting confused when the words are used in a different situation.
- What do you think?
