Traveler Posted September 27, 2014 Report Posted September 27, 2014 I've heard of this idea before, but haven't tried it yet. The idea is to get cards or stickynotes, write words on them in your target language, and then stick them all over your house. The idea is that by constantly exposing yourself to these words via interacting with these everyday objects, you'll start thinking of, for example, milk, as leche instead of just milk. Has anyone tried this? Is it effective? Quote
Trellum Posted October 6, 2014 Report Posted October 6, 2014 Nope, never tried it, but a friend of mine used a similar method in order to learn a new word everyday! It worked for him, so if you have the time and patience to do this... I don't see why not trying it! In the eyes of many this might seem like a very unorthodox method, but in theory it really sounds great! Quote
OddVisions Posted April 27, 2015 Report Posted April 27, 2015 I believe this method will work if you have the target personality for it, or don't overuse the method. For instance, putting 'toilet seat' on toilet seat or covering one thing in the various words that share the same meaning for it; that might get confusing. So, stay with one word per item and don't overdo it and this method is likely to be very helpful. Quote
LeesaJohnson Posted November 23, 2016 Report Posted November 23, 2016 Yes, It's the best idea to learn anything. Just stick the notes everywhere in the house. Quote
levandovskii Posted November 19 Report Posted November 19 Love the concept of posting vocab‐note‑cards all around the house—I’ve done something similar with post‑it quotes to keep motivation high every day. Speaking of creative setups, I kick‑started a mobile snack trailer project with food trailers for sale and realized how much environment influences mood and productivity. If you’re ever looking to take your language learning or creative habit into a physical space (even a mobile one), that kind of infrastructure can make a difference. Quote
