One familiar name among the content creators - youtuber Sprachheld. And once again, I don't recognize anyone of the lecturers.

Has anyone here been to any of the previous ones?

I signed up last year (after Kraut advertised it here) but managed to get confused with the time zone, so I think I ended up just joining one lecture. It was all well organised and gave what the title suggested it should. I've just seen there is a lecture in German about how astronauts learn Russian, which I think sounds interesting and I'll try not to miss! The future for translators in an age of machine translation also tempts me, not because I'm involved in the field, but because the threat is there for a lot of human activity!

Some past events can be found on YouTube. We also talked on our forum about the chunking method and its main protagonist.

How we are helping 10k+ people learn Spanish without memorizing word lists and grammar rules

Lukas Van Vyve
19:15 – 19:45 CET

/.../
Step 2: Discover the exact word combinations native speakers use to communicate (we call them “chunks”)

Look for the patterns and high-frequency word combinations (“word chunks”) native speakers are using, how they react to each other, how they express anger, surprise, happiness, sorrow,…

These are prefabricated units that your brain absorbs as a whole, so they bypass grammar rules and will make you sound exactly like a native speaker!

Step 3: Imprint prefabricated word chunks on your brain so they become readily available when you need them… in a conversation!

Memorizing chunks becomes easy because you have the context and story from the original conversation you've observed.

Repeated exposure to chunks in conversation, combined with Targeted Spaced Repetition for the most important chunks ensures that when the time for you to speak comes, you'll have your chunks readily available to be used in sentences.
