AJATT Twitter Tweets for Week Of 2010-09-26

  • Tip: shoot for #reading time rather than pagecount. But take the time in small slices and switch freely. #timeboxing #
  • When you read very disjointedly (e.g. URP), page/bookcount start to lose meaning. Time becomes the best metric. #timeboxing #

  • 『そのような「改善=小変」に対して、
    「右のモノを左にしただけじゃないか」
    「縦のモノを横にしただけじゃないか」とケチを付ける人が出て来ます。

  • We don't need to get on people's case for being monolingual. If it's really so bad for them, then reality will learn them a thing or two. #
  • We don't need to get on people's case for being monolingual. Many people still need more depth in their native language… #
  • Knowledge of foreign languages is overrated. Knowledge of local and soon-to-be local languages is underrated. #
  • If lang X is unpopular, you benefit from uniqueness. If lang X is popular, you benefit from breadth of options. Either way, you win. #
  • If economic gain is the aim, then increasing your depth and eloquence in the languages you have already may be the best ROI. #
  • A "typical" L1 speaker might gain more from upping his L1 vocab (register range) and writing, than from learning an L2. #
  • @en_JS So true. Fortunately or unfortunately 😀 #

  • To win this game, all you have to do is make an keep 1 promise: "I will not suck any more tomorrow than I do today". #

  • Language proficiency is like rice: you need to cook it when you don't want it so you can have it when you need it. #
  • Right when you're like: "I could not care less about rice right now"…*that's* when to cook rice. #immersion #
  • You want to be *using* your language ability when you need it, not learning it. #
  • There is no guarantee that you can't be awesome possum at Japanese. #pessimisticaboutpessimism #zerocertainty #
  • The type of book they tell you not to read is often exactly the type of book you need to be reading right now. #
  • IMHO, the only boundaries on #reading should be time and interest. Not common sense, and definitely not respectability. #
  • People who tell you not to read a certain type of book are fashion victims who have completely missed the point. #
  • If you have to limit your reading to what is considered respectable, you might as well physically remove your (cont) tl.gd/648rdd #

  • Freedom of reading (input) is as underrated as freedom of expression (output) is overrated. #
  • Or not….I might be *really* wrong on that one 😀 #
