growthcentre.org/english-langu

Worried that cracking TOEFL or IELTS is out of reach? You're not alone. Many students believe these English proficiency tests are too tough, but the reality is often different from the myths. Whether it’s about complex vocabulary, tricky accents, or sky-high scores, there’s a lot of misinformation out there.

pov: learning a language and the dictionary definition for a new word you come across are two English terms you've never seen before.

Like sure I could've figured out the meaning based on the parts of the word, but I've just had to do a te reo -> English -> simpler English before I properly understood.

So many thoughts after reading this discussion: reddit.com/r/languagelearning/.

Inter alia, technology evolves faster than humans. Language apps are free, multimedial and close at hand, but our brains donʼt benefit from it that much. The fundamentals of fluency havenʼt changed: read, listen and process.

My 'Font Roulette' tool for Anki lets you randomize fonts on your cards—either from a selection of built-in fonts, or other fonts you add.

On the front of your card, you can have it use a random font, and on the back you can add a little button to cycle through them.

I thought this might bring a pretty minor benefit, but after several weeks of using it I've been finding my ability to quickly recognize new kanji has improved quite a lot.

I bit more testing and I'll be releasing the plugin to the public for anyone learning a language with an unfamiliar script/alphabet.
