What's this?

A little reflection daily about my language acquisition

792

 I learn words incrementally - that is, it takes many times before they stick. Some words, for some reason, stick better. Others not at all, so it would be a waste of time concentrating on those. A time will come when every word is 'sticky'.

At some stage in each word's journey, I will be able to recognize it on the page (as opposed to in my ear). I'll look at it, and after some seconds will recall its nearest English equivalent. From then on, my response rate decreases. It's as if my reaction time improves.
