Hey HN<p>at the beginning of this year, I decided to learn French. In Mai, I moved to Aix-en-Provence (which is in the south of France) and spent three months learning the language. I think I've succeeded<p>During this time, I found a method that worked very well for me to quickly learn new vocabulary.<p>In short:
- Use a spaced repetition system like Anki[1] that quizzes you on words the moment before you forget them
- Use images instead of translations on your flashcards to make them super memorable
- Create mnemonics if words don't stick, either through a story or visually using StableDiffusion/Midjourney<p>I'm just getting started and will continue to write more posts on language learning in the next few weeks. I already wrote an article[2] about the principles of language learning that might also be useful to you. I'm curious about your thoughts.<p>I wish everyone a great weekend!<p>[1]: <a href="https://apps.ankiweb.net/" rel="nofollow">https://apps.ankiweb.net/</a>
