So let's put a number on, you know, the the one percent.
podcast-host
So m let's say you like Catherine, you learn three new phrases a day.
podcast-host
Um Flat Maths says that that's um you know easily that's that's just three times three hundred and sixty five, you know, that's how many days are in the year, right?
podcast-host
That would just be over a thousand phrases in a year, which is already pretty cool, you know.
podcast-host
To have a thousand more phrases in your vocabulary one year on, that's not bad.
podcast-host
But what actually happens is very different.
podcast-host
Those three phrases a day don't stay isolated.
podcast-host
Every phrase you learn makes the next one easier to grab, and you start spotting the same grammar patterns, the same word pairing.
podcast-host
The same rhythms showing up again and again.
podcast-host
So the three a day isn't just adding up, it's picking up speed.
podcast-host
By month six, you're not just further along, you're absorbing faster than you were on day one off the exact same five to ten minutes of effort each day.
podcast-host
So you'll more likely be gathering five minutes.
podcast-host
five to six phrases a day, let's say.
podcast-host
And that's the same 1% engine from the cycling story, just speaking to you in a more direct way as a language learner.
podcast-host
So the the year-end total of say the vocabulary you learn ends up far beyond just three times 365 because of this compounding effect.
podcast-host
The problem is, though, nobody feels that happening in real time for
podcast-host
On day twelve, you feel exactly the same as as day one.
podcast-host
And and you know, you've put in that effort, you've you've been quite strict on yourself for twelve whole days, and in this day and age, that's remarkable, right?
podcast-host
With all those distractions left, right, and center, doing something for twelve days straight is respectable.
podcast-host
But nothing's really changed yet, and that's very often where most learners quit.
