Two, let’s look at what happens when you see this: First, you think “house”. Then, if all goes well, you think “the word for house in French is ‘maison’. I think it’s feminine. La maison”. No problem, right? Well, yes and no. If speaking French was a matter of being shown a picture of a house and you having to regurgitate ‘la maison’, then you now speak French. Since speaking French is a bit more complex, your translating will only get you so far. Even with a simple question like “Is there a dog in that house?”, you will run into serious issues. “Est-ce qu’il y a un chien dans cette maison?” translates to “Is it that it there has a dog in this house?”. There is a limit to translation. You can make your translations more and more complex, and you can get very fast at them, but it will never be as fast or as fluent as simply thinking in the language. Why train When you could instead train: Doing this allows you to instantly think the word “maison” as soon as you see the picture, and that’s your goal, isn’t it? You’re not trying to teach yourself to be a translator, you’re trying to teach yourself to speak French. Speaking French involves looking at objects and knowing, instantly, how to describe that object in French. It involves thinking about the existence of a dog in the house and immediately thinking “Est-ce qu’il y a…”. Translation is too slow – you need words that come instantly to your tongue. There’s a trick here, of course. You need some language to get more language, and if you’re an absolute beginner, you don’t have the language you need. You may not even have the alphabet you need; if your first word in Russian is “ЗдpaBcTByйTe!”, you don’t yet have any of the tools you need to learn what that means, and you can bet you’ll be running to an English-Russian dictionary. The trick is to use English as a temporary crutch, and wean yourself off of it as soon as possible, usually within a couple of months (although you may still need that dictionary from time to time when writing about new topics). You use English to find the words you need. We’ll discuss frequency lists and choosing your vocabulary later on, but to go back to our house example, if you’re walking along the street and see a house, and realize that “house” is not yet in your French vocabulary, you will need to go home and look up “house” in a French-English dictionary in order to get “la maison”. Here’s where No Translation kicks in. When you put this word into Anki, you need to figure out how to remind yourself of the meaning of the word without any English. For ‘la maison’, this is pretty easy. Type in “la maison’ in Google images, and you’ll find a whole bunch of appropriate houses. For abstract concepts like “truth”, this gets more complicated. As I said above, you need some language to get language, and so you’ll need to either wait until you’ve picked up enough French words to write a simple definition, or you’ll have to use more abstract images. Here’s an early chain of words that might build you up to “truth”: (mensonge = “a lie”, pas = “not/no”, “pas le mensonge” = “not a lie”, “la vérité” = “the truth”) There are a few important things going in in this example. First off, the Pinocchio reference could refer to a bunch of things – a liar, lying, a puppet, a fairy tale. Because I chose the image for “a lie”, I know what I’m referring to. This is a key point; you either have to make your own cards, or you need to know exactly what the images are referring to ahead of time. Anki takes care of memorization, but it’s not ideal for learning a concept the first time. Each time you see a card in Anki, it should remind you of a learning experience you already had. Second, I had to understand some grammar concepts (how to negate a concept using “pas”) before I could write it. You’d learn this in the first chapters of a French grammar book (which you should own). After reading the section on “pas”, if I wanted to teach myself how to use it correctly, I could make this grammar exercise: Last, you’ll notice I’m building a network of interrelated words. My definition of vérité depends upon my definitions of pas and mensonge. This is exactly what we’re looking for; the more connections between words, the better. This is what words, at their core, really are – connections between other words. Your concept of lies should contain all sorts of associations – from Pinocchio to that politician you can’t stand to some embarrassing experience as a kid – all of these associations strengthen and give meaning to that little word, and you’re trying to build those connections manually with these new words in a new language. The concept of “mensonge” in French should have new associations – French ones – and some of those associations should be with words like vérité and pas (and maybe Pinocchio). I go into more detail in the book as to how you practically do this with every type of word and concept, but the basic idea is this: - Use pictures as much as you can. - For abstract words, combine pictures and simple definitions. - If you can’t write a simple definition, skip the word until later, when you can. - For grammar, just copy the fill-in-the-blank structure you’ll find in any grammar workbook. 1-2 examples of each grammar rule are enough; Anki will take care of putting it into your head.

www.towerofbabelfish.com/the-method/spaced-repetition/”Reatha, cé tá mé go raibh scoláirí nach raibh a ghlacadh mo chomhairle Uimh Aistriúcháin agus fuarthas amach go raibh siad deacrachtaí tromchúiseacha cuimhneamh ar na haistriúcháin ar fhocail áirithe fiú le Anki). Dhá, a ligean ar breathnú ar cad a tharlaíonn nuair a fheiceann tú é seo: Chéad, a cheapann tú "teach". Ansin,, má théann gach maith, a cheapann tú "Is é an focal le haghaidh teach i bhFraincis 'maison'. Sílim go bhfuil sé baininscneach. Baile ". Fadhb ar bith, ceart? Bhuel, agus tá aon. Má bhí na Fraince ag labhairt ábhar á thaispeáint pictiúr de theach agus a bhfuil tú a regurgitate 'la maison', ansin tú ag labhairt anois Fraincis. Ós rud é ag labhairt na Fraince le beagán níos casta, beidh do aistriú a fháil ach tú go dtí seo. Fiú le ceist shimplí cosúil le "An bhfuil madra sa teach sin?", Beidh tú ag reáchtáil i saincheisteanna tromchúiseacha. "An bhfuil madra sa teach?"Aistríonn a "An bhfuil sé go bhfuil sé ann madra sa teach seo?". Tá teorainn le haistriúchán. Is féidir leat a dhéanamh do aistriúcháin níos mó agus níos casta, agus is féidir leat a fháil go han-tapa ag dóibh, ach ní bheidh sé chomh tapa nó chomh líofa ag smaoineamh go simplí sa teanga. Cén fáth traein Nuair a d'fhéadfaí tú traein ionad: É seo a dhéanamh is féidir leat chun smaoineamh láithreach an focal "maison" chomh luath agus a fheiceann tú ar an pictiúr, agus go bhfuil do sprioc, nach bhfuil sé? Nach bhfuil tú ag iarraidh a mhúineadh duit féin a bheith ina aistritheoir, bhfuil tú ag iarraidh a mhúineadh duit féin a labhairt na Fraince. Ag labhairt na Fraince i gceist ag féachaint ar rudaí agus a fhios agam, láithreach, conas cur síos go réad i bhFraincis. Baineann sé ag smaoineamh faoi an bhfuil an madra sa teach agus díreach ag smaoineamh "Est-ce qu'il ya…". Aistriúchán Is ró-mhall – is gá duit focail a thagann láithreach chuig do theanga. Níl cleas anseo, ar ndóigh. Ní mór duit roinnt teanga a fháil teanga níos mó, agus má tá tú ar glantosaitheoirí, ní gá duit an teanga atá uait. Ní féidir leat a bheith ar an aibítir is gá duit fiú; má tá do chéad fhocal atá sa Rúisis "ЗдpaBcTByйTe!", ní gá duit fós aon cheann de na huirlisí is gá duit a fhoghlaim cad a chiallaíonn go, agus is féidir leat geall go mbainfidh tú a bheith ag rith le foclóir Béarla-Rúisis. Is é an trick chun Béarla a úsáid mar crutch sealadach, agus wean féin as na sé chomh luath agus is féidir, de ghnáth laistigh de chúpla mí (cé gur féidir leat gá fós go foclóir ó am go ham nuair a scríobh faoi ábhair nua). Úsáideann tú Béarla chun teacht ar na focail is gá duit. Beidh muid ag plé a dhéanamh ar liostaí minicíochta agus a roghnú do Foclóir ina dhiaidh sin ar, ach chun dul ar ais go dtí ár mar shampla teach, má tá tú ag siúl ar feadh an tsráid agus a fheiceáil teach, agus a thuiscint go "teach" nach bhfuil fós i do stór focal na Fraince, beidh ort chun dul abhaile agus breathnú suas "teach" i bhfoclóir Fraincis-Béarla d'fhonn a fháil "la maison". Seo nuair a thosaíonn Uimh Aistriúcháin i. Nuair a chuir tú an focal i Anki, is gá duit a figiúr amach conas a chur i gcuimhne duit féin de réir bhrí an focal gan aon Bhéarla. Do 'baile', tá sé seo éasca go leor. Cineál i 'baile' i Íomhánna Google, agus beidh tú a bunch iomlán de thithe oiriúnacha. Chun coincheapa teibí cosúil le "fhírinne", Faigheann sé seo níos casta. Mar a dúirt mé thuas, is gá duit roinnt teanga teanga a fháil, agus mar sin beidh ort fanacht ceachtar dtí go bhfaca tú mbailítear agus a scaoiltear focail go leor Fraince a scríobh shainmhíniú simplí, nó go mbainfidh tú úsáid a bhaint as íomhánna níos teibí. Seo slabhra luath de na focail a d'fhéadfadh tú a thógáil suas go dtí "fhírinne": (mensonge = "bréag", Eorpach = "Ní / ní hea", "Ní bréag" = "Ní bréag", "An fhírinne" = "an fhírinne") Tá rudaí tábhachtacha beag atá ag dul i sa sampla seo. Ar dtús, an tagairt Pinocchio fhéadfadh tagairt a dhéanamh a bunch de rudaí – a liar, atá suite, puipéad, scéal fairy. Mar gheall ar roghnaigh mé an íomhá do "bréag", Tá a fhios agam cad tá mé ag tagairt do. Is é seo an pointe lárnach; bhfuil tú ag ceachtar a dhéanamh do cártaí féin, nó is gá duit a fhios go díreach cad iad na híomhánna a thagraíonn do roimh an am. Anki Bíonn cúram de memorization, ach nach bhfuil sé oiriúnach le haghaidh foghlaim coincheap an chéad uair. Gach uair a fheiceann tú cárta i Anki, ba chóir é a chur i gcuimhne duit ar an taithí foghlama a bhí agat cheana féin. Dara, Bhí mé a thuiscint roinnt coincheapa gramadaí (conas a negate coincheap ag baint úsáide as "pas") sula raibh mé in ann a scríobh sé. Gur mhaith leat a fhoghlaim seo sa chéad caibidil leabhair gramadaí na Fraince (ba cheart duit féin). Tar éis a léamh an alt ar "pas", má bhí mé a mhúineadh mé féin conas é a úsáid i gceart, Raibh mé in ann a dhéanamh an cleachtadh seo gramadaí: Last, Feicfidh tú faoi deara Tá mé ag tógáil gréasán de na focail idirghaolmhara. Braitheann Mo sainmhíniú ar verité ar mo sainmhínithe Pass agus mensonge. Tá sé seo go díreach cad tá muid ag lorg; na naisc níos mó idir focail, an níos fearr. Is é seo cad iad na focail, ar a n-croí-, i ndáiríre iad – naisc idir bhfocail eile. Ba chóir do choincheap na bréaga go bhfuil gach cineál na cumainn – ó Pinocchio leis an polaiteoir nach féidir leat a seasamh a roinnt taithí embarrassing mar kid - gach ceann de na cumainn a neartú agus brí a thabhairt don focal beag, agus tá tú ag iarraidh a thógáil na naisc láimh leis na focail nua i dteanga nua. Ba chóir an coincheap de "mensonge" i bhFraincis ag cumainn nua – Cinn na Fraince – agus ba cheart roinnt de na cumainn a bheith le focail cosúil le verité agus Pass (agus b'fhéidir Pinocchio). Téim isteach níos mó sonraí sa leabhar maidir le conas a dhéanann tú go praiticiúil seo le gach cineál focal agus coincheap, ach tá an smaoineamh bunúsach seo: - Bain úsáid as pictiúir a oiread agus is féidir leat. - Do focail teibí, le chéile pictiúir agus sainmhínithe shimplí. - Mura féidir leat scríobh shainmhíniú simplí, skip an focal go dtí ar ball, nuair is féidir leat. - Chun gramadaí, ach a chóipeáil ar an struchtúr líonadh-i-an-bán beidh tú in aon leabhar saothair gramadaí. 1-2 Tá samplaí de gach riail gramadaí go leor; Beidh Anki cúram a ghlacadh de é a chur isteach i do cheann.
