如果我们像习得第一门语言一样学习语言,会怎么样?

当我们学习母语时,我们并不使用字典。我们在情境中学习单词,这些单词与某个物体、场景或情感相关联。记忆很大程度上依赖于这些丰富的联想,但大多数语言学习工具都剥离了这一切。
这正是我在想学习英语并提高英语水平时个人感到沮丧的地方,所以我创建了“Nattly”,以帮助我以英语母语者习得英语的方式来学习英语。
Nattly 不提供孤立的单词列表,而是将词汇与特定场景和图像联系起来,并辅以间隔重复。目标是练习基于语境的回忆,而不是仅仅识别直接翻译。
直接提取 vs. 识别:
接触的差距是惊人的。母语为英语的父母的孩子在开口说话之前,已经获得了数千小时的语言接触,而成年学习者每年可能只有 15-30 小时的接触。
因此,我在 Nattly 中创建了一个“广播”功能,它可以生成日常场景:叙述者扮演着正在发生的场景的描绘者的角色,偶尔会直接用第二语言(L2)解释难词,帮助学习者建立直接的第二语言联想,而不是不断地通过他们的母语(L1)进行翻译。
随着时间的推移,这种接触将加强第二语言(L2)中直接提取的通路。
我很想听听您对“Nattly”的反馈。您是否觉得当单词与故事或场景联系在一起时更容易记住?

When we learn our mother tongue-language, we don't use dictionaries. We learn words in context, tied to an object, a situation, or a feeling. Memory relies heavily on these rich associations, but most language tools strip all of that away.
This is something that frustrated me personally when i wanted to learn english and get better at it, so I built "Nattly" to help me learn English the same way native english speakers acquire it.<p>Instead of isolated lists, Nattly ties vocabulary to specific scenarios and images, backed by spaced repetition. The goal is to practice recall based on context rather than just recognizing direct translations.<p>Direct retrieval vs Recognition:<p>The exposure gap is staggering. Children of native spaeker parents get thousands of hours of language exposure before they can speak, while adult learners may get just 15–30 hours a year.<p>So I built a *Radio* feature in Nattly that generates everyday scenarios: The narrator plays the role of an image depiction of the scene taking place and occasionally explains difficult words directly in L2, helping learners build direct L2 associations rather than constantly translating through their native language L1.
Over time, this exposure will strengthen pathways for direct retrieval in L2.<p>I'd love to hear your feedback on "Nattly". Do you find words easier to remember when attached to a story or situation?
