Short of travelling to places where the language is +native, one can also emulate this digitally: Watching movies, listening +to music, podcasts, or radio shows, and reading books, newspapers, or +websites in the target language. + +I will present a framework in Emacs to achieve the typical tasks in +language learning: increase vocabulary and comprehension (both written +and aural) to achieve faster fluency, better retention and ideally +cultural competence. We will investigate how to read written documents +and websites, watch movies and listen to music/learn lyrics all while +collecting new vocabulary and concepts. Then we will present a spaced +repetition framework for improving retention of these concepts. + +About the speaker: + +I am a curious person, interested to learn. I started using Emacs as a +project management tool through org-mode 8 years ago. I has really +helped my stay on top of things while starting my own company. Now my +use of Emacs is slowly expanding. I was always interested in learning +new languages: I believe they are the key to other cultures. + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/language-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/language-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + |
