How memory really works and why we remember things.
Yesterday I posted about "memory" is and how it's not the same as "memorizing" words & phrases in Russian.
And today I came across this video.
This is the fundamental concept that I use in my work too. We remember what we KNOW and FEEL. To remember someting, there needs to be an emotional connection with the information you want to remember. It must be REVELANT to you. It must MEAN something to you.
In a world where people are disconnected from their own emotions, where people reject their inner knowing and prefer to stick to the old ways of learning (just give me lists of words I should learn to speak freely), this concept is hard for people to understand.
You must live it. You must experience it.
You can disagree with me all day long about how memory works, but the fact remains a fact. People don't remember what they learned last year, even last week. They learned words, grammar rules, phrasal verbs and idioms for many years, with many teachers, and they still can't use them correctly in their speech.
Something is not working.
Until we admit that the old methods are not working, there's no room for new ways of learning skills. And spontaneous expression in a foreign language is a skill. It can't be measured like any hard skill. You can't get certified. But you can absolutely learn to BE it.
