  • I would go as far to say that most ‘peoples brains’ dont remember new names well, unless there is a strong emotion tied to the meeting of a new person (hate, fear, infatuation, etc) then its easy to forget what someone said by the time you have made some introductory small talk and moved on to a conversation topic or had to break off the conversation and go elsewhere.
    I find i either have to have somebody else say their name a lot for it to stick or i mentally break off from the conversation when i can get away with it and in mind find a way of remembering their name with a trick like associating it with a similar sounding word, or a famous actor with the same/similar name, etc.
















  • Just english my native tongue. I have been learning for fun, only doing one lesson a day during my morning shit and admittedly dont do any supplemental learning (ie. Writing down phrases after lessons or trying to recall new words outside of lessons).
    So i have a good ‘streak’ going, but i am far off being able to speak a second language (the latter being much less impressive).

    The app says i have finished CEFR A1, if i was to believe them.
