Tim Ferris posting a text by Gabriel Wyner from 2014 on learning a new language in several steps 1) hear the novel sounds in the language and how to spell them 2) learn a list of basic words by connecting them to their image not their translatiojn 3) learn (simplified) grammar 4) continue the game (adding focused vocab, reading, listening speaking etc)

[[Fluent Forever by Gabriel Wyner]] 2014. vgl [[7 talen in 7 dagen door Gaston Dorren]] which starts more with grammar and reading comprehension actually.

speaking fluency comes from staying in the target language.

suggests podcasts, movies, and radio are too hard to follow at intermediate level.

Reading to deepen understanding suggests any book and go through, find online chapter summaries in target langauge, listen to audiobook while reading it, as it forces you along.

Adding to vocabulary has diminishing returns if you go by freq of usage after 1k-2k words. Use thematic lists for your purposes. E.g. [[% Interessevelden 20200523102304]] as starting point. Then go back to the flashcards w images used before. I can see building sets like these.

Stage 4 is the deepening / getting to fluency bit. Reinforced by actual usage. Either through adding more vocab, reading texts, listening to speakers etc.

Suggest that google image headlines are a good source of additional example sentences for grammar learning, as it includes machine translation in the search results on mouse over. Grabs those sentences for flash cards. I think the time used to make the cards may well be the key intervention.

Suggests making flashcards for each of the three types of changes, in any given example. allows speeding up compared to the book, as you do them w visuals on flash cards, and the spaced rep takes out most examples in a grammar book, leaving you with the repetition you need only.

Boils grammar down to adding words, changing existing words, changing the order of words. Allows [[Chunking 20210312215715]] that makes it easier to memorise.

3rd stage is the grammar. Suggests using a book, but with the advantage of already knowing the words and spelling of any examples, allowing focus on the grammar. Takes 2-3 months.

Suggestion to start learning words with a basic list. Author compiled a list of 625. See [[A Base Vocabulary List for Any Language 20241208160954]]

Suggests the basic list takes about 1-2 months

Use flashcards with images to learn words in a new language. Skip the translation part. Also reinforces the visual/spatial brain connection. Search images in the target language not with the translation, so subtle diffs in meaning are maintained.

To learn spelling find a grammar book that has lists of examples. Turn those into flashcards for spelling.

Flashcards are the primary mnemonic tactic in this article.

Hearing and pronunciation tackled upfront makes you sound more fluent. Prevents the effect of never getting a chance to use it bc others switch to your language.

listening precedes pronouncing. Vgl how I 'suddenly' heard the begin and end of words in Vorarlbergerisch and then quickly learned to speak it too.

this sounds like an impossible step if you are indeed foreign to a language. How would you ever find such pairings? The vid doesn't say other than describe a feedback system to learn to hear new nuances. I think perhaps using DeepL or some such to read texts to me would help.

being familiar with the sound of pronunciation will help better memorise the words later. Adding a sense to the memory. Vgl [[Fenomenologie Husserl 20200924110518]]

Create a foundation for spelling and sounds, to get a feel/sense of it, making it less 'other'.

Vid of learning to hear diff in novel sounds in foreign language you can't easily tell apart. Find them in a language. Have a script play them to you randomly and choose an answer. Feedback will bring you up from random to about 80% being right. Rewiring your brain to hear the differences. I bet non-anglo speakers wiill find this easier as they are never accomodated outside their own country.

Great critique. Enactivating change management through "corrective standards and regulation" distorts surprising moments from opportunities for distributed learnign into a compliance checklist for heirarchy

Competing views about the relation between observations reality and truth. Popper argues that observations help us distinguish which theories are true or not plus bringing us always closer to a more true scientific theory. Wittgenstein argues this can go both ways. Kuhn argues that these are observations are couched in the language of our paradigm and so everything is relative to that.

This guy learns music creation efficiently, by learning the theory first and really analyzing worked examples (the masters). Positively surprises me. I rarely come across a non-learning expert who intuitively uses proper processes for skill acquisition.

Sounds like you're doing what Mortimer J. Adler and Charles van Doren would call "inspectional reading" and outlining the space of your topic. This is both fine and expected. You have to start somewhere. You're scaffolding some basic information in a new space and that's worthwhile. You're learning the basics.

Eventually you may come back and do a more analytical read and/or cross reference your first sources with other sources in a syntopical read. It's at these later two levels of reading where doing zettelkasten work is much more profitable, particularly for discerning differences, creating new insights, and expanding knowledge.

If you want to think of it this way, what would a kindergartner's zettelkasten contain? a high school senior? a Ph.D. researcher? 30 year seasoned academic researcher? Are the levels of knowledge all the same? Is the kindergartner material really useful to the high school senior? Probably not at all, it's very basic. As a result, putting in hundreds of atomic notes as you're scaffolding your early learning can be counter-productive. Read some things, highlight them, annotate them. You'll have lots of fleeting notes, but most of them will seem stupidly basic after a month or two. What you really want as main notes are the truly interesting advanced stuff. When you're entering a new area, certainly index ideas, but don't stress about capturing absolutely everything until you have a better understanding of what's going on. Then bring your zettelkasten in to leverage yourself up to the next level.

By abstracting and concatenating portions of material, one can more efficiently learn material that would otherwise take more time.

Digital public service - thank you!!

Learning and Intellectualism can both be found in the act of comparison, or more broadly, analysis. One must do this perpetually when reading to dissect and gain most (long-term) (syntopical) value out of it.

Elaborative Encoding/Rehearsal; highly useful. Networked thought. See Bloom's and Solo's

This might catch the attention of HE people paying attention. It also hopefully connects to the participants who shared that they are not getting the information about the programs that they desire. If the data being consumed (by this vendor or others) is still rooted in describing the content of the learning and not the measurable, assessed outcomes, then it's utility is limited and, crucially, it could create trust issues that make consumer wary of all the data. On the other hand, if they can trust the high quality data, there will be a window of competitive advantage for HE institutions that choose to share the data that the consumers (largely employers) want to see.

Again lineair and productivity/effectiveness overtones. 'learning something irrelevant' as 'wasting time and energy'? ugh. Curiosity and interestingness/surprisal can be directed with intention without being goal oriented, which seems to be the premise here.

#openvraag I wonder if Wu put relevance in the eye of the learner or not. Vgl Feynman's [[Twaalf favoriete vraagstukken 20201006163045]] vs 'society's' relevance.

This is a highly linear sketch, figure out what to learn, gather information, done. In complexity figuring out what to learn does not then give you a clear path to the 'right' information, as it doesn't exist in that form. You iterate your way forward based on pattern recog. Fractals of figuring out what to learn repeatedly along the way

Perhaps both learning and research can often be used in the same process... Learning first to inform what is the most vital to include in the Zettelkasten for research synthesis.

Maybe what to use when, in my personal case, should not be objective but rather subjective based on what I like and prefer? This requires further thought. Complex matter.

Research: Theorization, Synthesis, etc.

Learning: Acquisition and Retention of Knowledge or Application of Skill

Both: When there is need of both and/or when research techniques don't give the necessary mastery quick enough for the material; too dense (i.e., neuroscience book)

I think this is very important, every time before the class, I need to set different objectives for different levels of students. And when I write a lesson plan, the elements of the objectives will be divided into three: knowledge objectives, ability objectives, emotional objectives. Then according to the different stages of students to set separately, also make my classroom more rich.

Caffeine has the reinforcing effects (dopamine and others) not just for activities consumed during and after the intake, but also for a period before (about 30 minutes). Good to take into account.

Caffeine not only produces dopamine but it also exponentially increases the effects of dopamine (by increasing dopamine receptors).

So definitely avoid caffeine when doing pleasurable activities you don't want to do anymore (such as porn).

(~19:20)

According to Huberman, there is a positive causal relationship between caffeine and reduced reaction time, increasing both speed and accuracy of recall. Thus useful to take in a certain amount of caffeine 30-60 minutes before an important exam or test.

Recommended to take caffeine about 30 minutes before you want peak performance (effects start 5 minutes beforehand). Peak performance ends after roughly 60 minutes, but effects stay in the system for far longer.

Conditions are not high blood glucose levels and not a very full stomach. Also assumes to drink an entire caffeinated drink in a short period of time.

(~18:00)

Because of effects related to caffeine and sleep, maybe recommended to do the most mentally or physically intensive tasks earlier in the day depending on sleep schedule.

Caffeine is good for performance, both physical and mental. It's good for awareness and neuroprotection. It's good also for antidepression.

I have found the GT/Lepiter GUI pretty compelling for learners in my local hackerspace and in the information science department, both spaces where I'm a facilitator/teacher. It provides a pretty focused experience and it is stripped down of the overwhelming initial experience of the Pharo/Squeak GUI. It is not well suited for "classical Smalltalkers" though. as I have been talking with some of them and they find the DX too much specific and even cumbersome for some task they usually do (it has been not our case so far).

In our last use case at the university, the students are creating a personal code repository in Fossil, with data narratives and they do a critic/annotated reading, using Hypothesis (this very technology), which is kind of a personal public wiki-like portfolio for data narratives. They put also the reading notes in their own repositories for the data stories I published previously where I introduce Smalltalk or and introduction to data representation and processing in Pharo.

This could be another approach for wikis in the classroom, that is alterative to our use of interpersonal wikis with TiddlyWiki. At some point and in a pretty organic way, the idea would be to have all them integrated and powered by "context aware" and thematic chatbots (made in Pharo).

For true deep processing and learning, intellectualism, one must think beyond the single source they are consuming and think about everything they know. Although keep in mind selective attention for true learning and thinking.

This process is habitualized by means of Zettelkasten and further aided in tool like hypothes.is

Unrelated to the song itself. It is interesting that different people interpret the song's meaning differently. Likely due to individual differences in perspective, history, culture, etc.

Makes me reflect. Is knowledge/wisdom contained solely in content and words? Or is knowledge/wisdom rather contained in the RELATIONSHIP, the INTERACTION, between past experience, previous knowledge (identity) and substance?

Currently I am inclined to go for the latter.

Steps for designing a reading plan/list: 1. Pick a topic/goal (or question you want to answer) & how long you want to take to achieve this. 2. Do research into the books necessary to achieve this goal. Meta-learning, scope out the subject. The number of books is relative to the goal and length of the goal. 3. Find the books using different tools such as Google & GoodReads & YouTube Recommendations (ChatGPT & Gemini are also useful). 4. Refine the book list (go through reviews, etc., in Adlerian steps, do an Inspectional Read of everything... Find out if it's truly useful). Also order them into a useful sequence for the syntopical reading project. Highlight the topics covered, how difficult they are, relevancy, etc. 5. Order the books (or download them)

Good point; formal education should build up the skill of lifelong learning and not keep "spoon feeding"

At the end of formal education (preferably at the end of HS already) you should be able to learn independently the most complex of skills using evidence based/informed learning techniques.

This is basically layered learning and making use of the creation of prior knowledge.

Lifelong is to keep the habit and refine as needed.

TBR: Skill Decay

( ~ 13:00 )

Stage 3, iteration, is about increasing fluency of mastery. Cognitive schema automation. Building up the habit.

Consistency -> Accuracy -> Speed

Varied practice is necessary, and fine-tune the technique based on experiment in application.

( ~10:00 )

After relevance comes the awareness stage (you become aware of your mistakes)...

Making mistakes raises your awareness about how you do the skill and ensures you improve on it. By just doing theory you can't learn from mistakes and you can't possibly read up on EVERYTHING.

Reflective process is necessary. Kolb's. Experiment.

After relevance comes the "plateau period" where a lot of practice is being done with a lot of mistakes; there seems to be little progress. Most people give up here.

You need a growth mindset and just continue.

( ~ 5:00 )

The first stage of learning a complex skill is creating relevance, not in the sense of making knowledge relevant to your life; but rather in seeing what is relevant to learn at this point in the learning career.

Building a map...

The actions are exploration and challenge. Exploration = getting diverse opinions from others and learning the theory & variables. Challenge = open-mindedness for other beliefs and assumptions.

Reminds me of 10 Steps to Complex Learning for curriculum design, where doing a skill decomposition is one of the first steps in designing the curriculum, and either being an expert or having access to experts is paramount.

Learning how to learn has latent learning for most people. There is no immediate feedback and therefore you do not know how good your learning techniques are until you get to the point of exam.

One way to mitigate this is by having your own test... Past papers, hard recall techniques like Whole-Part-Whole, etc.

I need to find a way to effectively measure learning efficiency in terms of several components (how well is encoding, how well is recall, etc.)

Kolb's as well.

Add to the TBR (to be research) list... "Latent Learning"

RAIL stands for:

Interesting food for thought for the optimization of education: should we give students not just domain knowledge (in an efficient manner) but also intercultural and experiental knowledge of the world?

Not just related to personal development such as wealth creation and personal finance, but also how other civilizations work... Tolerance. Teach them philosophy as well.

Obviously in such a way that it is attracting and they are intrinsically motivated to go to school and learn.

Raises a broader question: Is domain knowledge worth anything if you have no knowledge (or experience) about the world in itself? Can you be of any value if you do not know the world in such a manner?

This is a valid criticism (sorry Elon Musk)... By helping the other individual you in the end help society and therefore yourself.

We should be focusing on present problems that are closer to us before moving on to more abstract problems that have less value at present.

The same goes for ourselves. Try not to fix your family or neighborhood before you have fixed yourself (keep in mind diminishing returns). As Dan Koe said: "Your purpose is solving the most pressing problem you have right now." (not verbatim).

Try not to learn how to learn before your sleep schedule is excellent, before you know how to be productive and have habits.

Learning enablers first, THEN learning.

Fix first yourself, then your household, then the city, then the country, then the continent, etc. This does not have to be taken literally, but use it as a wise guidance. It's a principle rather than a law.

Patience as a Virtue is highly important to a journey of lifelong learning. Without patience you cannot be resilient. Without resilience, you cannot 10X yourself continuously, you cannot keep growing.

Nishant says: 2x Output for 1x input...

His formula for mastery: 1. Learn (input -- focus, singletasking) 2. Reflect (output, pause... what is the main takeaway, how to use?) 3. Implement (output, apply) 4. Share (output, teach the material)

These principles are great... Obviously they are not comprehensive as they do not necessarily reflect higher order learning. See Bloom's and Solo's, nor take foundation of Cognitive Load Theory for example... It's understandable though since you can't mention everything in a 20 minute talk XD.

The argument I'd make is that the 3 subsequent steps are a part of learning. So the first step should not be called learn but rather encode, since that is literally the process of forming the initial cognitive schemas and putting them into long-term memory...

According to Nishant, what I agree with, the truly successful people are MASTERS in their craft. They have committed to lifelong learning.

"Your learning capability decides your earning capacity."

See also: Ultralearning, Scott H. Young, and Deep Work, Cal Newport... The argument is the same: your ability to adapt in a complex rapidly changing information economy, and to master material determines how much you can earn.

no clear evidence that homework has an academic or non-academic effect on learning.

Justin mentions that a better way to think about learning is in systems rather than techniques. This is true for virtually anything. Tips & Tricks don't get you anywhere, it is the systems which bring you massive improvements because they have components all working together to achieve one goal or a set of goals.

Any good system has these components working together seamlessly, creating something emergent; worth more than the sum of its parts.

The main idea, able to be generalized, I get from this video is that in order to develop any skill, whether it is learning or something else, you need to break it down into its constituents, much like the 4 Component Instruction Design model argues, and figure out where your weak links are.

The more accurately you know the system of your skill, the better you know what to potentially improve on. This requires research, and sometimes asking experts.

Another benefit of networking.

Argument for general knowledge vs. specialistic knowledge?

This is the concept of growth mindset; and we need to teach that to our children in any way possible. It has been shown in studies that growth mindset has a positive causal influence on academic and financial success (I cannot state sources, but I know I've come across this)

Note to self: Research this later.

Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm (or motivation)

This is equal to the imitation principle of biologically primary knowledge as stated in Cognitive Load Theory (Sweller, 2011). Perhaps also the borrow-and-reorganize principle though that has to do with biologically secondary knowledge and explicit instruction.

Fixed mindset. Self fulfilling prophecies. Ignorance.

The first thing I ask people who cannot focus for more than an hour straight (which I would argue is a necessity for proper deep learning; see also Flow) is how their dopamine regulation is.

Dopamine regulation is the biggest factor that I know of (I am not an expert, so there might be even more influential factors) that hampers with the ability to focus for prolonged times in a cyclic way.

One can enjoy learning, and thus focus, if the average dopamine the brain produces is close to the dopamine they get when performing the act of learning. This is hard if someone uses "dopamine factories" such as TikTok and other shortform content.

Indeed. But testing in general, as it is done currently, in modern formal education, discourages deep learning as opposed to shallow learning.

Why? Because tests with marks implore students to start learning at max 3 days before the test, thus getting knowledge into short-term memory and not long term memory. Rendering the process of learning virtually useless even though they "pass" the curriculum.

I know this because I was such a student, and saw it all around me with virtually every other student I met, and I was in HAVO, a level not considered "low".

It does not help that teachers, or the system, expect students to know how to learn (efficiently) without it ever being taught to them.

My message to the system: start teaching students how to learn the moment they enter high school

It could be helpful to have a process to learn from these cross-team AARs, respecting privacy appropriately.

(~11:00) I am getting inspired to create my own "Syntopicon" of Education and Learning. Obviously this will be a lifelong endeavor and great undertaking, bound to change with every single reading... As I am not a team of 501 people.

I think I will do this. But how? I am not sure yet. Let's think about it.

I will probably build it out in the open. Perhaps I will even build this syntopicon of education using Obsidian's networked thought system... Instead of a formal linear book. A network of notes is much easier to navigate and will get me where I want to be. Also much easier to edit throughout the process of doing research.

(~3:00) Syntopical Reading requires building a map of the topic across sources (coming up with one's own terms) in order to find out what each author is saying.

How does one do this if the process of syntopical reading is the process by which one comes up with the knowledge? I believe the answer lies in a high skill level of Inspectional Reading

Obviously, one cannot make a perfect map from the get go, and this should not be the intention (defeat perfectionism)... However, a rough sketch or map is far more valuable than none at all.

I believe this is also the point of Dr. Justin Sung's prestudy... Building the barebone structure of the mindmap, finding the logic behind it all; the first layer.

I am very interested in learning all of the different musical traditions that are all over the world. Every place had different traditions and I am curious to learn about them.

I am very curious to learn about how the internet and mass media have contributed to the globalization of musical sounds. The internet has changed so many things and I want to learn how it changed music.

Ive never been in a online class that has really been group work focused so im excited to see how that works and learning how to work as a team virtually.

Do people in other countries actually enjoy American music, or is it just prevalent due to other factors?

Is American music actually as prevalent as we think in other cultures besides our own?

Something that I have been interested in regarding American music is the influences and processes that occured to create its distinct sound, especially in rock. I enjoy the vinyl era, and I find the blues' influence on rock to be extremely intersting as it encapsulates a history unique to the United States and also uses elements from a wide variety of cultures. I'm excited to hear more about this topic during this class.

I would like to learn more about the cons of globalization. When I think of globalization's impact on art I generally believe it's had a positive impact, so I would like to hear the opposing side. I would assume potentially the cons could be some forms of cultural appropriation, but I would like to hear some of the other cons of globalization for music.
