About Speaking and Listening

Words are scattered and discrete. Even if memorized, if we don't repeatedly hear them in sentences, our brains and ears can hardly react to them. This is a process that requires familiarity. Language learning essentially requires starting with extensive listening and reading aloud, which is also the natural law of how infants learn their native language.

Listening requires training the ear, making it familiar with sentence patterns and the feeling of sentences, imprinting many sentence patterns and language sense in our minds. We can combine regular learning with sentence learning, extensive sentence listening, occasional sentence reading aloud, and occasional deliberate sentence memorization. The effect will be excellent - this is a super shortcut.
