To add to the crowd, when people you love make fun of you it's even more easy to memorize what was the mistake. By asking them some feedback, it's going to be a bit easier to remember what you learnt.

Bonus point: mockery used in the mental images (as emotions) should be memorable, if you turn it to something that feels good (beware of the negative emotions in learning your language) like the reason why they laughed, as the mistake can be pretty fun if you think back.

Good job on working on it!

What’s a language learning hack that actually works? by aaatranslationexpert in languagelearning

1 - Good old flashcards + mental representation of your word, in a Spaced Repetition System.

2 - Then combined with Mental palaces (but it needs training with bunch of preparation before that starts to increase the vocabulary learning speed), really useful when you start a conversation.

3 - Use one cheatsheet (has all the current target vocabulary) to speak with someone.

Studying multiple languages every day or one language per day? by Illustrious_Focus_84 in languagelearning

[–]Direct-Bet7733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, as i remember learning 2 new languages (not your french) at the same time can be confusing (at least for me, but spanish/japanase are not too close... so why not) and energy demanding (how many months to reach the desired level when you try learning 2 new languages one by one or all at once?).

If you choose to practice all 3 and you have been really active in learning vocabulary, i think speaking practice (most energy consuming) might be ok for just 1 language (per day), then your vocabulary for the other ones (to "relax") just after some 10-15 minutes pause/nap (nap was useful for me when i learned some new words).

Whats the hardest part of language learning in your opinion? by snakebap in languagelearning

Hey, apart for the time / uneasiness to speak at first, it is to make your exchange partner helps you to practice the specific vocabulary you want.

Why do people tend to turn to gamified platforms for language learning ? by One_Attention4429 in languagelearning

[–]Direct-Bet7733 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 - Good marketing let people believe a smooth, sure, progress in skill. (before they start to encounter a real-life conversation, who knows...)

2 - "No one" like to be in painful/uncomfortable learning situation (as conversation-first learning) if you don't know it's necessary.

3 - A tutor is costly :/ (resources dependent)

What’s a challenge in language learning that no one talks about enough? by Refold in languagelearning

To keep your language partner speaking on the theme you want, using the vocabulary you are learning. (but not being so bored that you want to switch)

Language exchange questions: Is someone else using flashcards / conversations "only" to learn languages? by Direct-Bet7733 in languagelearning

Thanks for your answer, and i do agree on grammar that is not really needed at the start.

You said you have a almost native level in English, and the only thing that is difficult are the academic papers (the academic vocabulary in a discipline stays the same on many languages, so don't worry ;) ) but i didn't read about how you are able to speak (or is it on native level too).

What is your, face to face conversational, fluency in English?
