What It's About
Today's listener wants to teach a strategy to help with memory retention and language learning.
Notes from Chris
Episode 1946
If you want to retain what you read, you need to have some kind of system to review and reinforce your learning. I got really into this last year and learned about spaced repetition, which is the idea of regularly reviewing key information to make sure you actually know it. Today’s listener has an intriguing idea: to aid in memory retention using spaced repetition but with outsourced tutors from other countries. It’s kind of like Upwork meets Coursera or Udemy."If you want to learn something, spaced repetition is the single most important habit you can use. It's essentially the flash card technique, where you review a series of items over and over until you're confident you've retained the info. Ideally, you vary the times that you do the review, and once you finish a particular deck, you return to it every so often just for a refresher. Anyway, here's my side hustle idea: I'd like to use overseas tutors to help people with flash study sessions using this technique. It's a lot like learning Spanish or another language with a foreign speaker by video call. Didn't you have a story about that once? My question is: how would I validate the need for this idea, and how could I put together a working model?"Listen to today's episode to learn more...
