Learning any language as a subject to get good grades is a different ball game from learning a language to ‘Speak/write/read/listen like a native’.

One helps the other but I guess when the goal is different, different approaches and different outcomes are bound to happen.

And apps like duolingo, language transfer, anki etc, all have different approaches, ways, goals; so the different outcomes are inevitable.

Just pondering upon the this thought yet to learn any language, the destination everyone wants is the same. To be able to communicate effectively via writing and speaking, and to be able to understand via reading and listening.

Not a big fan of memorising endlessly - conjugations, concepts, vocabulary. But I guess it’s an important skill to have.

I have seen students with great memorisation skills, with little efforts. They tend to play smart for the exam - revise the conjugations, some vocabulary, a reading a day before the exam and they are set. They write better, speak better, reading becomes easier too.

After all, the language we speak has somehow been memorised by our brains and retained it for longer to use.

May be Dr Stephen Krashen’s ‘acquiring a language’ theory meant ‘memorising by brain in a better way’.

Just pondering upon this thought!

Hiii,

Has anyone used base44 to make a blogging website? I have created an app. Now I wish to write blogs for organic research. Still pondering upon the options we have. Vibe coding made me lazy to go back to wordpress or any other no code tools to design myself!
