VParkh Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 There is a site: LingQ.com, it is for studiing languages. It has large audience and there are a lot of content with both audio and text. They always need new content and if we make text for some Stef's podcasts we can upload it there so people studiing english language will encounter our ideas and start to engage. My english still needs a lot of work so I don't quite understand every word and can not transcript any podcast into text. Maybe somebody will do that
ParaSait Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Wait, I don't get it -- are you suggesting spaced repetition for learning Stef's ideas? Sounds more like a great tool for brainwashing lol.
Wesley Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Wait, I don't get it -- are you suggesting spaced repetition for learning Stef's ideas? Sounds more like a great tool for brainwashing lol. What is the difference between brainwashing and exposure in your mind?

You mean that somebody learning english will repetitively listen many times the same stuff? No, it doesn't necessary work that way. When you are on advanced level (which is needed here) you listen every time something new. For example I listen some podcast, read the transcript, note new words and go to the next one. I don't listen the same content more then 2 times! What about brainwashing, there are a lot of stuff that can be viewed as brainwashing! And you are often not agree with speaker but you view it just as another content for learning language. And if you become interested, you listen the next from this topic and maybe go to the host site. If not - you just change the topic.

Ah.For some reason I remember that site as being a language flash card tool. So it seemed kinda weird.
