Why Is Your Memory Full Of Holes?
If you're learning a foreign language, I?m willing to bet you recognize the following feelings:?
-
?You spend ages learning new words, but they never stick
-
?You recognize words when you see them, but can never recall them by yourself
-
?And of course, that terrible feeling when you?re in the middle of a conversation, and all those words you?ve been trying to memorize just vanish from your memory
Sound familiar?
The good news is, you're not alone.
Even better, there's a solution!
What you need is a reliable blueprint for memorizing new vocabulary in the language you're learning, in such a way that you never forget it, and always have it on the tip of your tongue in conversation.?
Is that too much to ask??
Well, I don?t think so.
Of course, they don?t teach you this at school. And no one ever showed me how my memory works...?
I had to figure it all out myself, one language at a time.
My name is Olly Richards, and I?m an author, speaker, and language consultant.
I also speak 8 languages, which I?ve learned by myself over the last 15 years.?
Language learning, for me, is much easier now than it was when I first got started, and that?s because I?ve worked hard to learn certain key skills, such as improving my memory.
As with all important things in life, the big lessons I learnt came from the toughest experiences.
For me, it was when I was living in Japan.
There were many things I found difficult about learning Japanese, but above all, it was a vocabulary problem? learning so many new, unfamiliar words seemed impossible!
At first, I thought it was a study problem. I thought if I just worked harder, I would grow my vocabulary faster.
But of course, I was wrong...?
I did study hard, but it never seemed to get any easier. I would learn more words but then forget them again the next day.?
Conversations with native speakers never seemed to get any easier either, as the words I thought I?d learned would always slip my mind at the crucial moment.?
After a couple of years of stagnation with Japanese, I was ready to give up, and I almost did, a few times.?
My breakthrough came when I decided to take responsibility for my memory, and not simply ?leave it to chance? anymore...
