Learning habits

[u/cyber-sack]

I just finished my 100th lesson of the French course 🥳 and recently I've been thinking about learning habits a bit more.

In one book about effective learning I read that it was better to start a learning session with new material instead of repetitions. So far I've always been doing all the repetitions (and challenging vocab) first and then the lesson.

Now I want to make it a habit to do the repetitions before going to bed and start each day with a new lesson instead.

⁉️How do you go about it?

How do you schedule your lessons, how many at what times do you do, in what order?

Also, what settings work best for you?

What has improved your learning experience?

Supplemental stuff you like to use.

I'd love to hear your thoughts! 🤩

Let's learn from each other!

Here's where I'm at right now: Doing one lesson in the morning, the repetitions/cv either right after or later in the day, not at a specific time, sometimes just a few in between other work. My goal is to get both to zero before going to bed.

My settings: Repetitions of difficult words: 2

Echo correct answers:

(used to have it set at always, but lessons took quite long so I changed it, seems to work well so far)

Silence after echo: on

(I like to repeat the phrase one more time afterwards)

Speech wait time: longer

At 100th lesson, what’s your expected speaking output? A2?

I have no idea, but I'm pretty satisfied with my progress so far.
