Gold List Method for learning to L/T memory part one

This video has been inspired by several of my viewers wanting to know more about the gold list method of vocabulary learning devised by myself and explained on http://www.goldlist.eu

In part two, we will get on to how to construct and run a vocab book using this system, and during this video I give an account on the ideas on which the system is based, and why the system is an optimal way to go about vocab learning.

You may also find some of the discussion in the comments helpful. I have sought to answer a number of queries that have come up. I do prefer queries here to private ones, as the time spent answering can benefit everybody.

5/1/2011, the answer to the question raised here by WellConditionedChimp is answered at http://huliganov.tv/2011/01/05/answer-to-question-comparing-goldlist-and-mnem...

you are Englishman but you don't have any accent though, may I know why ?

[usenetposts]

@yhcpl01 I have many accents.

The gold list itself sounds like very little work but, where do you get the words from? that is a lot of work, looking the meaning and all. How do you choose what words to use?

[usenetposts]

@Jate0000 It depends what stage of learning you are and what you want from the language. It could be a course like a teach yourself book, it could be a phrase book, at advanced stages you could be goldlisting vocab that arises when you read the literature of that language. The method is a memory method, it works on a wide variety of materials.

@concertmatell Quite correct. I'm doing this one as Huliganov. I didn't do the one to the business class as Huliganov as they were all real Russians and may have lynched me.

@raphaelkick No, he means WORK for 20 minutes and REST for 10 minutes and repeat.

Maybe the reason I had such a hard time with Russian is because my tutor hated me...:(

[typhon3808]

@yhcpl01 I believe you are correct. I was thinking he was actually born in Poland. My bad...

[usenetposts]

@yhcpl01 I'm only a Polish taxpayer. That's enough to let me talk about the country as if it was my own, though. After all, there are plenty of people who are Poles who've paid a lot less in than I have.

[yhcpl01]

@typhon3808 but as far as I know he was born in England

[typhon3808]

@yhcpl01 He's not English, he's Polish.

I noticed this short term effect with the Cyrillic alphabet. At first I used short term methods like "Ч" look like an upside down CHair, or "B" look like a Violin split in half and it did help, but not for long. Once I sat down and memorized the sounds with the characters I can read it pretty effectively now.

Hi, do you know if learning verb tenses would be applicable with this method? i.e french verbs
