Just saying I volunteer as tribute in the mad scientist experiment, so long as lingerie is also still involved. Maybe with a lab coat and ppe just in case

Nice! I think this helps me now that I'm also learning a new language! Thanks!

A couple of decades ago there was a fad called "Accelerated Learning" which posited that people could exponentially improve memory-related learning tasks via a left brain-right brain thing triggered by slow baroque style classical music. Foreign languages were claimed to be particularly suited for this, and there were a bunch of A.L. courses (IIRC, they came with cassette tapes!) available. Supposedly (again, IIRC) this was all based on the work of some Polish mathematician who made the discovery. Ever hear of it and is there anything to it?

Because I'm a bit of a nerd, the first thing I thought of after watching this was the process of learning a new game system / faction when playing competitive tabletop games with friends. Retrieval Practice - when you have the rules to hand but try to recall them from memory first, then double check to make sure that you're right Elaboration - because it's a multiplayer game, you explain how the rules interact, often paraphrasing them Dual coding - you read the rules, you explain them out loud, you discuss them and have a visual representation on the board as to what the parts/outcomes are Interleaving - the games are always going to be different each time, so you bring up the learning according to the events as they happen rather than by rote Spaced practice - in a gaming group, you tend to repeat games at regular intervals, with the same forces, reinforcing the learning
