Hey English learners!

Welcome to this A2 English listening practice video.

I hope you're doing great and that you're ready to practice your listening with another video.

Today I want to talk about flashcards.

Some people like flash cards,

some people don't like flashcards.

I recently started using flashcards at the beginning of this year.

So not that recently, but this year I started using flashcards.

And I want to talk a little bit about this topic,

about flashcards, and how they can help you as a language learner.

And I'm not saying that flash cards are right for everyone.

Some people do fine without flashcards,

and they succeed in their language learning without using flashcards.

But some people can benefit from them,

so I'd like to talk about that in today's video.

And I know that a lot of you want to improve your pronunciation in English,

and if that's you, if you want to pronounce things better and feel more comfortable with your pronunciation,

please check out my pronunciation seminars.

You can sign up for those by clicking on the link down below in the description below this video.

These pronunciation seminars that I make will really help you improve the way that you say things,

say words, say phrases and sentences in English.

So So please check those out.

Okay, let's talk about flashcards.

So in the past, I used flashcards.

I used them a couple times maybe when learning different languages,

but I never stuck with them,

meaning I never continued using them over a long period of time.

And I honestly didn't really like them that much.

And it was for different reasons,

but I decided this year to try using them again.

And I've been using them in a specific way to help me with my French.

So I use them every day, actually.

I try to do them once a day not miss a day.

I've been pretty good actually.

I haven't missed a day of doing my flashcards in a long time actually.

So I've been doing well with them.

I use Anki.

This is probably the most famous flashcard app.

There are some other popular ones as well.

I haven't tried them, but Anki is good.

It uses an SRS, a Spaced Repetition System,

and the way this works is that it shows you the words you need to review at the right time,

at the optimal time when you should review them based on some different things.

And so there are other apps that also use this type of spaced repetition and I think they're probably all pretty good.

Let me talk about how I use flashcards.

So I use them right now to help me practice my speaking, actually.

So I put the English side on the front,

and then I have to think of how to say that English phrase in French.

So I don't do it the opposite way.

I don't put the French side on the front and then think of what it means in English.

I did that years ago,

but that's not how I currently use flashcards.

I put the English side on the front and then I have to say that phrase in French.

So, as I said, I usually put a full phrase the front.

I don't just put a single word.

I put a phrase that contains a new word

that I want to learn or a new phrase that I want to learn,

a grammar structure perhaps.

Once in a while I'll even include two new things,

like two new words, in one sentence or one phrase.

And the way that I choose what to use to make these flashcards,

like which words, which phrases I want to learn,

this comes from my own speaking practice.

When I'm speaking and I try to say something but I I don't know how to say that word or that phrase.

I create a flashcard from that word or phrase.

So I know that when I review my flashcards,

I'm not just reviewing random words.

I'm reviewing words and phrases that are useful for me because I tried to say them and I couldn't.

So I know that I'm learning relevant words and phrases and so I'm filling in my gaps,

the gaps in my speech of things that I want to say but I can't say.

So I can do that based on my speaking practice with myself

because I speak to myself almost every day

and I can also find words

that I'm missing based on what I try to say in my conversations with my tutor

because I also speak to a French tutor.

So I do that and I review my flashcards once a day,

it usually doesn't take too long.

And some people like to make flashcards using pictures or sounds like audio flashcards or other things.

This is too much work for me to be honest.

I don't don't want to spend that much time creating flashcards,

so I don't do this.

I just put the phrase in English and then I need to say that in French when I review it.

I'm not using flashcards yet for Greek.

I started Greek recently and And there are,

for me, the reason why I don't use them yet for Greek is

because there are still way too many common words and phrases

that I still don't know

and I don't really want to make flashcards out of these words and phrases because I'm gonna learn them naturally

through listening and reading.

I think that over time,

over the next few months,

I'm gonna learn all of these really common words and phrases naturally just from seeing them over and over again.

So I don't think it's that necessary for me.

You can still use flashcards in the early phases of learning a language.

There's nothing wrong with that,

but I kind of prefer to do a lot of listening and reading,

and when I do that,

I'm exposed to these very common words and phrases and structures over and over again.

So it isn't that necessary to do some separate activity like flashcards to learn phrases

100

and words like the word interesting or something.

101

Like I'm gonna see that word over and over again when I read things,

102

when I listen, so I probably don't need to make flashcards for those types of words.

103

I just need to do my daily listening and reading practice.

104

But later on, I will most likely use flashcards for Greek,

105

when I'm learning words and phrases that are important for me

106

but maybe they aren't so common so I don't see them so often,

107

then for me that's when I think flashcards are really handy or really useful.

108

So that's just my opinion but that works for me.

109

They really work for me.

110

Flashcards work for me at my level in French

111

because I'm learning less common words and I don't need to review them

112

that much but I just need to see them again before I forget them

113

or maybe a little after I forget them and just trust the spaced repetition

114

schedule how it decides to show me the words

115

when it decides to show them to me this spaced repetition

116

shows you the card at the optimal time I think around the time that you're probably gonna forget that word.

117

So this depends on the card and in some apps you can change this I think.

118

Like maybe you just want to review the same words every day.

119

I don't change this.

120

I just trust how Anki decides to schedule my reviews.

121

So some people change that.

122

I don't.

123

I just trust it.

124

I think that it's good to review words

125

around the time you will probably forget them or even a little after you've already forgotten them.

126

I think it's really powerful to forget a word and then relearn it.

127

I already talked about this previously when I talked about relearning Greek.

128

When I relearn these words that I had previously forgotten,

129

they feel so much stronger in my brain now.

130

So I think it's powerful to relearn words that you have forgotten.

131

This isn't a big deal it's not a horrible thing to forget words or forget phrases.

132

When you relearn them, many times they will become just more solid in your brain.

133

Okay?

134

And you can use flashcards at any time throughout the day.

135

One great thing about flashcards

136

is that you can review them when you're doing things or when you're waiting in places and you have nothing to do.

137

When you're waiting in line,

138

this is a great time to do flashcards.

139

When you're on the bus,

140

when you are doing something that doesn't require your attention

141

and you can pull out your flashcards for a few minutes and review some cards.

142

It's great.

143

It's a good way to take advantage of those times throughout the day when you're just waiting and you can't do anything,

144

that's a good time to review flashcards.

145

I'll be honest, it's not the funnest thing.

146

Reviewing flashcards is not the most interesting activity,

147

but it has helped me.

148

I've seen the benefits of using flashcards.

149

I've been able to use phrases that I learned from my flashcards,

150

and I use them with my tutor for the first time

151

and it feels good to use that phrase that I reviewed and learned and I use it correctly.

152

So I've seen the benefits and depending on your personality,

153

your preferences, what you like and maybe where you are in your language learning process,

154

maybe flashcards could be helpful for you.

155

Maybe you can try them out and see if you like them.

156

So they're not for everyone but I think it's worth it to try them out and see if they work for you.

157

So hopefully

158

you enjoyed this video and I hope this was good advice and I know it was good practice for your listening.

159

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
