  • Okay, great.

  • So lots of people are joining.

  • Lots of people are here.

  • Fantastic.

  • I'm going to share the video on, like the video and then I'm going to start today's lesson.

  • So, as I said, today's lesson is focused on spaced repetition, spaced repetition.

  • So this is a system, or like a method of studying.

  • So today for today's lesson, I'm going to look at using space repetition to study vocabulary.

  • But this is something you can use to study pretty much any other kind of memorization related topic.

  • So it's not just for studying language, but it is an excellent tool for studying language.

  • So let's begin here.

  • This is a key word for today's lesson spaced repetition spaced repetition.

  • So what is spaced?

  • Repetition?

  • Why do we need it?

  • Why is a useful first?

  • The concept spaced repetition is studying with spaces between your study sessions.

  • So this is different, like the opposite.

  • The opposite is what we call a cram session, a cram session or like cramming style studying so cramming style studying.

  • I did this when I was a student.

  • Maybe many of you do it.

  • Cramming is like the night before a test.

  • You pick up like your vocabulary or you pick up your topic, and you just try to study everything in one night that you put it all in your brain for a short period of time and then use it for the test.

  • But the problem with cramming is that you forget it.

  • Like after the test.

  • You just forget everything you studied, so you study a lot in a short period of time, remember for a short period of time and then you forget.

  • So this spaced repetition is different from cramming, So cramming c r A m.

  • That's how you spell.

  • This is one time like a one time study session.

  • Space repetition, though the idea is that the first time you study something, this is like a kind of basic schedule over a couple of weeks and a couple of months.

  • In this case, the first time you study something, or rather at the beginning of like the first time you learn a new word for the first time you learn a new grammar point.

  • You need to refresh your memory a lot, so refreshing.

  • Your memory is important.

  • Toe.

  • Learn something long term, not just for one day.

  • So the first time you study something, let's say it's like a new vocabulary word or a new group of vocabulary words.

  • For example, if you decide okay, I'm going to study all of these words on this.

  • Pdf.

  • So you study them all one time, then you need to study again really soon because their new like it's all new information, and you need to refresh your brain again.

  • It's like it's all new, so I need to I need to be reminded of the new information again.

  • So maybe you study once on like like today you study and then again tomorrow you study the same things.

  • And maybe you forgot.

  • It's natural, like that's normal, to forget a few things.

  • So you review those things, then you study again, like two days later, maybe the same things.

  • And gradually you make more and more space between your study sessions.

  • So maybe in week one you study the same words like four times, for example.

  • And then, in Week two, you study, like, two times or something like that and then further and further you study like once a month or whatever, you have to give your brain time to remember the word, Uh, And in order to do that, you need to study several times over a longer period of time so you can already see this is very different from just cramming everything in.

  • So trying to put everything into your head is great for short periods of time.

  • But if you want to remember vocabulary, if you actually want to be able to use your vocabulary for a long period of time, you have to keep refreshing your brain.

  • You have to keep reminding yourself so that you can actually remember these words.

  • Okay, so a couple other points about this set a spaced repetition like this.

  • This is a good concept, but I know many people are super busy, of course.

  • So it's hard to remember, like when to study.

  • Like when did when was the last time I studied, or when was the last time I studied this word or this group of words?

  • So now we have software.

  • We have software that can tell us when to study.

  • That tells us.

  • Okay, it's time for your study session like you can use your phone.

  • You can use an app.

  • You can use software you can use like our our stuff, the stuff we have in English.

  • Class one no, one dot com.

  • You can use lots of different tools to help you remember wept, time to study and what words to study also, but a couple of things first, remember, In most cases, software is input on Lee.

  • So by that, I mean, if you use an app like you decide, you're going to use an app to study vocabulary words you read the word on your app like Okay, this is the word beautiful.

  • And you remember it.

  • Yes, but you have to be responsible for the output.

  • So not just reading the words, not just remembering the words.

  • That's where you have to be responsible.

  • If your software doesn't have, like, an output option, some soft whores do.

  • If you're suffer, does not have that.

  • You have to be responsible to say the word to write the word to make a sentence with the word.

  • So these are examples of output.

  • So you need to be using the words that you learn.

  • Don't just put them in your head but actually used the words.

  • So this is another really important point to remembering.

  • So not just input.

  • Like if you can read the word great, that's fantastic.

  • But to use the word you have to actually use it.

  • You have to actually make things create things.

  • Okay.

  • Ah, the final point here.

  • If you don't want to use a software, you can use flash cards, just basic flash cards.

  • So writing something, writing something on a piece of paper or writing something on small cars and quizzing yourself like every day that's another way to do it.

  • It may be just kind of difficult to dio on a specific schedule, so software is really helpful.

  • Okay, so that is the point of first point for today.

  • I haven't checked the chat in a while because I wanted to explain today's concept.

  • Uh, any questions specifically about vocabulary words.

  • I'll try to look at those I see people just writing comments about Yes, this is helpful.

  • This is helpful.

  • Okay, cool.

  • Yeah, some people Anissa on Facebook says, I always forget vocabulary.

  • Totally.

  • Me, too.

  • Me, too.

  • I totally forgive vocabulary.

  • So refreshing your memory a lot.

  • You need to be able to refresh your memory, remind yourself of those words you studied back here.

  • And to do that effectively, you need to study now and then, not just one time or two times, but you need to study regularly.

  • So it's like reviewing.

  • And another kind of cool feature of this is that when you study, you can review old words and learn new words at the same time.

  • So you can put like a new group of words into your study like plan or your study sessions, and you can learn new words.

  • Like if you've studied one group of words for a long time.

  • Cool.

  • And then maybe at this study session, you introduced a new group of words that starting here.

  • So this really cool.

  • There's lots of really cool things you can do with software.

  • Okay?

  • Eric says he has many questions.

  • All right.

  • Thanks, Eric.

  • Okay, Um, I the same woman on the other English livestream.

  • Probably.

  • There are a few of us teachers on the live streams.

  • Okay, uh, someone leaned.

  • Amar says I use flash cards with my students as well.

  • Yeah, great.

  • Great.
