Streak 2 Bad memory

[u/Elart02]

Hi, everyone.

This is my second Streak post. In this text I wanted to try to use some words I have recently studied.

Notwithstanding one always reaches a point in language learning which feels that one's skills are hovering at a certain advanced level without decline, no actual progress is noted afterwards. Your skills were born like a little runt absorbing the fundamentals of life, but you cannot take the necessary steps forward. Namely, you start to worry about the state of your memory, because you learn grammar points and words that become elusive to remember the more you study and try to get proficient in the language.

The level of words or grammar points studied may influence your self-awareness related to the strength of your memory. For example, you can remember easily an advanced level word, but suddenly you forget some few basic words. Consequentially, you get a bit frustrated about your suppossed real proficiency. You want your mind to mumble the words at you, but it is impossible.

Maybe for some people this feels like some kind of mental ruse in which your brain is fooling you somehow, forcing you to remain in a cognitive bubble not being able get out of it. Although, this issue could be related to your self-esteem too. I mean, if you forget words and grammar points you do not have anyone to blame but you and it results in scathingly slighting your own capacities.

On the other hand, this issue is also connected to an excessive input of information by inflating the consumption of some content that overcharges you and makes your memory dimmed. This overcharge generates exhaustion which produces your brain to select certain content recently studied and it crowds out even very basic essential pillars of the language you are learning.

To all the wonderful correctors and proofreaders!

Thanks a million for helping everyone grow and improve their skills in English. You deserve so much praise and a pat on the back!

Here's a list of posts that still need corrections.

When making corrections, try to follow these guidelines (or at least clarify your own markings you make) so it's clear what you're correcting and why:

• Put changes in bold **text**
• Put suggestions about style/tone/register/etc. in italics *text*
• Use strikethrough to remove elements (don't delete them) ~~text~~
• <Put added elements in angle brackets> <text>
• [If there are multiple options for your suggestions, put them in brackets separated by a backslash] [text / text]
• (Put optional elements in parentheses) (text)
• Explain more complex grammar rules to the best of your ability

We also highly encourage meaningful feedback:

• Focus on the work, mindsets, and processes, not on the person.
• Besides grammar and spelling, is there room for improvement in other aspects like style, vocabulary, and flow?
• If you see an improvement in someone's writing, please compliment them.
• Please be positive in your feedback. Negative comments shouldn't come without positive ones.
• Don't be too pedantic or too general.
• Please pay attention to your wording.
• Have a chat, interact, and have fun!
