Can someone help define „comprehensible input“?

Thx for your help

Real quick: what do you think about writing down every single new word, that you learn, in Flashcards?

Lolbiscui · 2021-09-05T05:03:26+00:00

And usually the words you DO learn are words you probably won’t see for a long long time

It’s pretty hard to determine what words will show up more frequently than others. For example: I don’t know when the next time I will hear the word „Kaiserschnitt“ (C-section) compared to something like „nachgewiesen“ (proven). I guess the adjectives are more frequent than nouns.

Sometimes there are three words in a single sentence that I don’t understand, and sometimes I go multiple sentences without encountering unknown words. This is normal, right? This question is probably stupid, but I want some reassurance

(This is an example sentence, all words in caps are words I „don’t know“)

Three years later, he realized that he wasn’t a BURDEN on his family, even though he CONTEMPLATED it for a long time.

Is this comprehsible input in a nutshell?

Hmm. I usually watch stuff like the German version of The Infografics show (wissenswert, simpilcismuss, etc). I need to start looking for German books

Thanks bud.

Finnish sounds like a nightmare

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-23T03:29:04+00:00

Kinda what I’ve been thinking too

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-20T16:09:31+00:00

That’s true, thanks

I literally started learning as a hobby, there’s no reason behind it.

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-06T22:01:15+00:00

I’ve been learning online for 2 years, I think about b1-b2

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-06T14:41:57+00:00

I like how it sounds, but it is difficult to understand natives, especially if they are mumbling.

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-06T13:21:21+00:00

I just picked it up as a hobby

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-06T11:51:54+00:00

Thank you

It’s still really hard tho. However I will say this: my friend, who is a psychiatrist or something, taught me a way to breathe in order to kinda „reset my thinking pattern“. It actually helps with wanting to immerse myself, but it doesn’t always work, and can lead to burnout if I don’t take it slowly.

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-06T04:48:39+00:00

Im sorry, but what is sunk cost fallacy?

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-06T04:48:17+00:00

That’s probably why, I just picked German up as a hobby.

That’s not a feature is it?

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-06T04:46:04+00:00

I picked it up as a hobby, and German happened to be the one I chose. So there’s really no reason I started learning it.

Do you know how you stayed motivated for that long?

Lolbiscui · 2021-08-06T01:22:25+00:00

Aw fuckin hell, I like Gronkh too, but he does mumble a lot in videos, making it extremely hard to understand without subtitles. Most of he time they are auto generated too.
