The long weekend has just finished and it’s time to
back to learning! Today a few words about method which can be used to learn
foreign languages. It’s SuperMemo which was invented in 1985 in Poland. It was
created by two scientists which weren’t linguists. One of them is a biologist
and programmer – Piotr Woźniak, second one – doctor and biochemists, Edward
Jacek Gorzelańczyk. Both of them are PhD at Poznan University of Medical
Science. SuperMemo is a computer programme but not typical – it uses the properties
of forgetting curve. The scientists discovered and described the algorithm of
it and thanks to that, the method can be used now. So what SuperMemo is?
It’s based on the information that material can be remembered
when it’s given in proper time intervals. Intervals are connected with the forgetting
curve. The breaks are reduced to maximum so memory track can’t be forgotten. Repeating
is based on the special model which causes that information which we learn can’t
disappear. In one word – they are reminded in the adequate time.
I think that this method has only advantages :)
1.
It’s for
everyone: regardless of age, individual predispositions, place of living, etc.
2.
During first
month of study you can learn basic
vocabulary of any language.
3.
According
to the authors it allows to assimilate information faster than other methods (it
doesn’t surprise me – everybody wants and believes that his methods are the
best ;))
4.
It can
be used in many ways – software is available for Windows, Pocket PC, Palm OS
and iOS, you can also use your web browser.
5.
SuperMemo
UX is free, only commercial courses are paid (but still the price is not too
high).
6.
It’s
appreciated by many experts around the world.
7.
It wins
awards in prestigious competitions.
8.
It makes
repeating easier – it should be memorized and repeated at the proper moment.
9.
It is
universal and used throughout the world.
10.
It can
be used to memorizing vocabulary and practicing them.
For me
it’s great! :)
