  • UPDATED WEEKLY

Bilingual for years, and now eager to learn a few more.  Join me Eric Lampaert, as I make sense of approaching a few more languages, with English & French as a starting point, aiming for fluency in all six of the UN’s primary languages, with some likely detours along the way.  Bilingue depuis des années, et désormais avide d’en apprendre quelques autres. Rejoignez-moi, Eric Lampaert, alors que j’essaie de comprendre comment aborder de nouvelles langues, avec l’anglais et le français comme points de départ, en visant la fluidité dans les six langues principales de l’ONU, avec quelques détours probables en cours de route.

    25. Compress, Compile, Consolidate (EN, FR, SP)

    1. Compress – Reduce Information Density Brain handles ~4 independent ideas at once.Methods:Pareto Principle (80/20 rule):Identify critical 20% of concepts/skills that drive most results.Delay or ignore non-critical 80%.Reinforce high-impact material first; expand after mastery.Association: Connect new info to what you already know (e.g., cognates in languages).Chunking: Group words/phrases as blocks to reduce memory load and build fluency.Examples: “Can I have…?”, “I would like to…”, “Where is the…?” 2. Compile – Move from Consumption to Mastery Techniques:Ultradian Cycles: 90 min focus + 20 min rest.Agile testing: Learn → Test → Repeat for constant feedback.Slow practice: For physical or language skills, practice slowly to build precise neural circuits.Immersion: Apply skills in real-life situations, not just practice.Learn by teaching: Explain concepts to others or yourself to consolidate knowledge.Actor insight: Separate performing from self-critique; allow mistakes before refinement. 3. Consolidate – Prioritize Rest for Retention Learning occurs in two stages: focus + rest.Micro-rest: 10-sec breaks after intense learning to replay info faster.Macro-rest: Non-Sleep Deep Rest (Yoga Nidra) ~20 min during day.Sleep: Essential for replaying and organizing learning from the day.Key Takeaways: Embrace friction: struggle indicates deep learning (“generation effect”).Focus on self-improvement, not competition. One step at a time.Repeat the 3C cycle: Compress → Compile → Consolidate Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
