Study suggests focusing on sounds helps language learning
Original: Stop making sense: focus on sounds to help learn a language, study suggests https:// lemmy.ca/post/72395857
A new study suggests that language learners may benefit from focusing on the sounds of a new language rather than trying to make sense of meaning straight away. The finding points to sound-based attention as a useful early strategy for picking up vocabulary and pronunciation, and is being shared among people interested in language learning and cognitive science.
Why now: People interested in language learning and science are discussing fresh research offering a counterintuitive study tip.
