And I definitely listen to many, many podcasts and my target language.

Like if I'm at the gym or I'm walking the dog or I'm cleaning the dishes, you know, like filling in that gap time with as much exposure as I can get.

It's really great.

And it's essential for sure.

I think that I'm also coming from a biased perspective of being a very, very visual learner.

And like, I definitely must have, when you learn a language here,

hear the pronunciation, hear the cadence.

So that's like the rhythm or the intonation that native speakers use.

Just by hearing it, eventually I think you will be able to produce it and mimic it.

And it's so important.

But if it comes to something like vocab,

for me personally, like I have to see it, like I'm much more likely to see it written and remember it or write it myself rather than hear it.

And then there's many different kinds of learners out there.

So yeah, the study techniques I have with Anki, you know, that could work for some of you listeners out there, not for others, you know, give it a try.

If you, if you haven't heard of it and you're feeling you're, you know, maybe could use a little more vocab under your belt, but yeah,

Yeah, there's so many different kinds of learners.

It's very tough to ascribe, oh, this is the best method.

But well-rounded is important, I would say.

I totally agree.

You got to have the listening.
