Chapter 335: [Does Speed Learning Really Work?]

Well, I was thinking it’s about time to wrap up this stream.

Just as I had that thought, something happened.

≫All languages are special, huh? (Ukrainian)

≫I get it now. And yeah, learning a foreign language is really tough. (Ukrainian)

≫Foreign languages have a lot of features that our own language doesn’t. (Ukrainian)

≫On the other hand, Ilesha mastering it is amazing. (Ukrainian)

≫We need to work hard to catch up too. (Ukrainian)

≫But... didn’t Ilesha learn it because she was still a "child"? (Ukrainian)

That last comment caught my eye.

Apparently, Illyena noticed it too. She tilted her head as she read it aloud.

<I learned it because I was a child...?>

≫What do they mean??? (Ukrainian)

≫Like, Ilesha said she evacuated to Japan with her mom, right? So how does that compare? (Ukrainian)

≫Between you and your mom, who speaks Japanese better? (Ukrainian)

<I speak it better.>

≫But that’s just because you studied a lot, right? (Ukrainian)

≫You worked hard to get close to Iroha-sama! (Ukrainian)

≫Plus, with school, it’s only natural Ilesha would learn faster, right? (Ukrainian)

<I believe so.>

<...Hmm, I see.>

<Iroha-sama, do you understand what that comment meant now?>

<Ah~ I wouldn’t really recommend that. It’s not completely ineffective, but... it’s super inefficient. If you combine it with some other study methods, it might be different though.>

<Really? It sounds pretty good though.>

<CDs don’t offer "feedback," you know?>

<That’s true. With a CD, you can’t have conversations or ask questions when you don’t understand something.>

<Exactly. Plus, facial expressions. Reactions are super important for learning a language.>

<Facial expressions, huh? When I first started learning Japanese, I think I relied on those reactions to figure out whether I was saying things correctly or not.>

<There’s actually research showing that babies can learn language when people talk to them, but they don’t learn from CDs.>

≫If even the language prodigy Akasama can’t do it, no one can! (Ukrainian)

≫I thought it’d be great if you could learn English just by listening! But of course, there’s no easy way.

≫In the end, practical use is the best way to learn a foreign language. (Ukrainian)

<Exactly. In modern linguistics, the consensus is that it’s almost "impossible" to learn a foreign language without practice.>

<Huh?>

≫Whaaat? Impossible??? (Ukrainian)

≫Wait a second, but didn’t Iroha-chan...? (Ukrainian)

≫Hold on, isn’t there already a living counterexample?! (Ukrainian)

<W-Well, I’m an exception...>

<Iroha-sama!?>

<No, no! I’m basically the same! It’s still hard to learn without practice, I swear!>

≫Hard (but not impossible)

≫Almost (but not for Iroha-chan) impossible

≫Stooop! You’re breaking modern linguistics!!
