How to Memorize Vocabulary Perfectly With Minimal Effort

Hey people, I’m back with another sweet video about how to remember everything you’ll ever learn with 100% recall. Sometimes my titles can be a bit exaggerated but here it’s very genuine — spaced repetition, when followed correctly, will genuinely force your brain to remember everything you learn with it in the least amount of time possible. It’s a pretty remarkable psychological finding that hasn’t gotten enough attention that it needs, and I think it’s worth talking about it in more detail, especially given the amount of time I spend talking about Anki on this show!

By the way, I know a bunch of my subscribers are non-native English speakers who are using my channel to learn English, so I've taken the trouble to add captions here -- let me know if you find this useful!

Thanks for visiting Ari in Beijing! I've honed my Mandarin Chinese to near native-level fluency through a variety of tips and tricks that I share with you each week. So whether you're studying Mandarin, Cantonese, English, another language, or are simply interested in language in general, please SUBSCRIBE and stick around for a while!

Learned 2 language n forgot them... Byelingual

This, is actually true. I'm learning Japanese. I'm currently still on Katakana though. I've found out that by after learning some letters, I tend to stop, and then over time I review them at least once a day, and I remember how to write them almost perfectly. I was actually worrying about this sort of thing. What if I couldn't memorize the letters and Kanji? And now that I have come across this strategy, it's going to help me a lot.

I love that the new 'most replayed' analytics are exposing the fact that we all went back and re-watched "the bray the waine forgets" to laugh at you. 💀

Love your videos btw - it's always great to find a new educational channel that shares really valuable information AND is efficient and engaging in delivery. Keep up the awesome work!

[idkhh]

You remind me of my science and history teacher. Every single lesson they pull out the "forgetting curve"

I love this video, thanks. Besides, I am using a cool tool named Burning Vocabulary. I read a lot online and collect new words to me. It really helps me.

In school I read a lot of old books with old and rare vocabulary so now I know lots of British slang from the 1700s. I never use the words, but if I happen to run across them I already know what they mean.

Just found this video and would love to know more.
I’ve just started to learn Japanese and I want to head out there in October for a holiday (all being well).

Your method is really so similar to Khatzumoto from "All Japanese All The Time". SRS, Passive listening, full language immersion...I Think that's his method. I find it really nice, I'm sure it wil help me with languages! I wanna know how to talk in a language in the sam way children do! ^_^ Also I'm happy that lots of people are trying this method for studying languages, I wanna join them.

[Blinkyy_.blackpink]

[yowatzefak]

"the bray the weine forgets"
that irony lmao

[glasgowefl]

Interesting about Memrise. I've seen another video, where he doesn't really think it is a good app to learn to talk, and I agree. He actually likeed Pimsleur more, because it is completely conversational. But he does bring up Memrise here, in order to learn Vocab (I agree also).

Strictly speaking, it's an exponential decay curve, or an inverse exponential curve (or function)
