- A playful competitiveness can be good. But it's not actually the competitiveness that helps: it's the playfulness. #

- RT @irishpolyglot Is your language half full? A negative attitude is what holds people back from achieving their goals: su.pr/2bhYzz #
- Don't bother with method arguments. Tell people they're right: that's all they want to hear anyway. Then, go think whatever you want. #
- An SRS deck isn't for sitting in some database somewhere looking pretty and taking up space. It's for passing through your senses. #
- Got a vice? Don't go to war with it. Co-opt it. Give it money and a good timetable, and it'll sell out to you. Now you control it. #
- Techniquewise, there's some stuff I would blog about, but my opinion on it fluctuates back and forth a lot – often on the same day 😀 #
- Fallacy: if you disagree with someone, they have to know that you disagree with them and why. #
- Fallacy: you have to link your actions with your stated opinion. Decouple them. Speak diplomatically, but act pig-headedly. #
- Since you can only really act in one direction at any given time, taking action almost always entails a certain single-mindedness. #
- It's called "All" Japanese All The Time but maybe it should be "Some" Japanese All The Time" or "Anything (At All)" Japanese All The Time… #
- Until we have invested in ourselves the same time, faith and funds that we would in a child of ours, we have no excuses. #
- When pronouncing Chinese, I sometimes find that I literally have to let myself go. I can't be the usual me. I have (cont) tl.gd/573ft #

- There are two types of language-learners: (1) Those that learn. (2) Those that have drama about learning. I've been both. #
- YouTube – Foxxi misQ - Ultimate Girls bit.ly/8UOPfS #
- With large projects, the only wrong answer is to get overwhelmed, give up and do nothing. Anything counts. Every little bit helps. #
- F w wr t trn Nglsh nt n bjd, wld t lk lk ths? #
- People who forcefully tell you to be mediocre like them, never seem as forceful in taking responsibility for the consequences of mediocrity. #
- Don't believe that you're dumb or smart. Just believe that, with practice, you can. #
- Often, extraordinary sucess requires extraordinary methods. This can easily put you at odds with those who insist on being "intraordinary". #
- Sometimes, you get to a point where being good at a particular thing is far more rewarding than being liked, understood or "cool". #
- Insofar as they put you at odds with social norms, intense pursuits do (unfortunately) share traits with "emerging religions". #
- We make fun of non-standard dialects, but really, maybe we secretly envy them; they're so full of "life-force". That doesn't sound fruity… #
- A language is like the monster plant from "Little Shop of Horrors" — feed it media and it grows… #

Purple Line 東方神起 歌詞情報 – goo 音楽 bit.ly/4D7F3u # - A language is undemocratic in that it doesn't have to give you a good reason why it works the way it works. It just does. #
- "People think all Americans are arrogant but what they don't realize is that half of their Canadian friends are American". My friend Jang Mi #
- I swear, like, every few months, like clockwork, I feel the desire to rewatch GITS. Not disagreable people — the anime. #
- Books are objects. Treat them like it. Objectify them. Read what you like of them from where you like. Screw their "wholeness" and order 😀 #
- A healthy SRS deck is a moving SRS deck. #
- I find that the more I compete, the worse I do. The more I play, the better. #
- Counting how long you've been studying language in years is kind of like counting how much cash there is in your wallet by its shape alone. #
- Call it "stochastic tinkering" if you want. Either way, the lesson is the same: screw around. #
- A healthy SRS is a moving SRS deck — one that has turnover in the form of deletions, reps and additions (in order of priority). #
- Compete less. Play more. #
- People who put you down are often feel very insecure themselves. I know because I've been on both sides of that equation. #

- Looks like someone SRSed his way to great success in the DAT (Dental Admission Test?)
bit.ly/b3lahF # - Limits are your friend. Just because you could do it all, that doesn't mean you should. Even ice-cream gets old. #Timeboxing #
- Trying to do the "correct" thing can be a great strain. Just set a finishing time, and let things decide themselves. #Timeboxing #
- IME, an aggressive card deletion policy makes for higher repcounts and retention. Thus, paradoxically, more deletion = more learning. #SRS #
- Now experimenting with deleting bad kanji cards as well. I figure if my environment tells me a character matters, I can add it back in. #SRS #
- YouTube – 永邦-魔鬼的眼淚KTV bit.ly/ckwPer #
- When you read my advice, don't try to fit yourself into my mold — change the mold to fit you. I myself am a work in progress. #
- Observation: native speakers, early on at least, never do anything boring in order to learn their language. #
- It's funny how we tell adult learners: you're a latecomer to learning language X, therefore not only are we going (cont) tl.gd/5j864 #
- Channel surfing (and hence excessive TV-watching) works b/c you exercise veto power: you say no to boring stuff. No veto→no fun. #
- If more people surfed (vetoed) books and parts of books like they do TV, there might be more book-reading. bit.ly/ad9gXB #
- Even if you delete a "useful" card, if you make daily contact with the language, you'll pick up that slack later — and in a funner way #SRS #

- An SRS deck only has meaning insofar as it undergoes turnover (deletion, reps, additions). No turnover, and it's just inert data. #
- Things that require you to look, act, speak and think differently from whatever is considered "normal" do tend to seem cultish. #
