AJATT Twitter Tweets for Week Of 2009-10-31

  • A lot of people wonder how they can get a native-sounding accent. The real question should be how to stop yourself from suppressing it. #
  • Nothing is more damaging to your reading than attempting “100% conversion” in terms of SRS entry. Even 1% conversion is pushing it 😀 . #
  • The idea of secretly having some amazing skill to be suddenly busted out at cocktail parties is largely a myth. Dedication sucks at hiding. #
  • AJATT is really all about screwing around…playing…
    But I didn’t have the guts to tell you that until recently: “PLAY?! HOW DARE YOU!” 😀 #
  • “The art of any art is the art of obsession,”

    …wait… #
  • If you have time to think of theories and metaphors for your suckiness, spend that time fixing the suckiness instead. #
  • Remember that language is about the two B’s: beliefs and behavior. Display certain behaviors, and you win. #
  • No confidence in yourself? No problem! Just go ahead and turn on the Japanese TV anyway…if you’re going to feel down, do it in Japanese 😀 #
  • ヤバイ。ギルモア=ガールズ好きに成ったかも・・・
    そして破滅への道が始まる・・・(笑)
    こんな自分は情けない!
    やっぱり嫌いで居ようか。 #
  • カーーーーリフォルニア、来たぞ!始まりからだよ!カーーーーリフォルニアあああああああああ #
  • Do you have the tools to bounce back from a brain fart?
    Recovering from failure is as valuable as succeeding outright.

  • Ironically, the kind of people who are all about “discipline” etc., are the ones least willing to sow language seeds before trying to reap. #
  • “Why do you still SRS if you are fluent?”: Why does Tiger Woods still practice golf? You stop sucking. You don’t stop learning/maintaining. #
  • “If I miss one day of practice, I know it. If I miss two days, my wife knows it. If I miss three days, the audience knows it.” #
  • “Good musicians practice until they get it right. Great musicians practice until they cannot get it wrong.”…Misuse at will 😀 #
