언어 학습에서 일반적인 어휘 목록의 비효율성

### 언어 학습에서 일반적인 어휘 목록의 비효율성
* 📚 많은 언어 학습자들이 일상 회화의 **85~90%를 차지하는 가장 자주 사용되는 1,000개의 단어**를 마스터한다는 개념을 소개받지만, 이 개념에는 근본적인 결함이 있습니다.
* ❌ 이러한 목록을 학습하면 유창하게 말할 수 있다는 주장은 오해의 소지가 있습니다. 이러한 목록은 **맥락과 실제 적용이 부족**하여 실제 의사소통에 효과적이지 않은 경우가 많기 때문입니다.
* 🔍 예를 들어, **'능력' 또는 '관리'와 같이 문맥 없이 제시된 단어 목록**은 학습자가 실제 대화에서 이러한 단어를 사용하는 방법을 이해하는 데 도움이 되지 않습니다.
* 🗣 '로'와 같은 단어는 여러 가지 의미와 용도를 가질 수 있으며, 이는 단순한 목록으로는 전달되지 않기 때문에 **학습자가 다양한 맥락에서 그 의미**를 파악하기 어렵습니다.
* 📖 일부 목록은 특정 시험이나 체계적인 학습 환경에서는 유용할 수 있지만, 일반적으로 **일상적인 언어 습득에는 적합하지 않습니다.**
* 📝 효과적인 언어 학습을 위해서는 학습자가 목록을 암기하는 것이 아니라 **문장과 실제 사용법**을 통해 단어를 접하는 **문맥화된 어휘**를 사용해야 합니다.
* 🎓 궁극적으로 진정한 언어 이해에 도움이 되지 않는 임의의 목록에 의존하기보다는 **문맥에서 어휘를 이해하고 사용하는 데 초점**을 맞춰야 합니다.
* 📊 요약하자면, 어휘 목록이 시험 준비에 도움이 될 수는 있지만, **새로운 언어를 진정으로 배우고 의사소통하려는 사람들에게는 크게 효과적이지 않습니다.**

언어 학습을 위한 우선 순위가 높은 어휘 목록은 문맥과 실제 사용법이 없으면 대부분 효과가 없습니다.

hello Noble ones, and welcome to Metatron Academy. Today, I'd like to talk about these high-priority lists that are supposed to help you maximize your results in your language study. Have you ever heard this idea of these are 100 or 1,000 most frequently used words in the English language, and they account for, I don't know, 85%, 90% of what people actually use in an everyday conversation? So, if you learn these 1,000 words, you will be fluent, and you will understand everything, the majority, because, I mean, 90%, 88% what other people are saying, and all that kind of stuff. Then they give you these infinite lists with absolutely not this. Let me just say it right off the bat. This is complete nonsense. It makes zero sense from an educational standpoint, and they do not work. Now, there are a couple of exceptions, and I'll tell you towards the end of the video, a couple of lists that could be made to work, but only in certain contexts. But in the majority of your cases, this is

completely nonsense. For example, let's jump on ef.edu. Here in their resources for learning, we get the 1,000 most common words in English. We're going to double-check this in Japanese as well, just for fun. Here's what we get. The list below gives you the 1,000 most frequently used English words in alphabetical order. Once you've mastered the shorter vocabulary list, this is the next step. Oh, oh, I see the previous one. It would take time to learn the entire list from scratch, but you are probably already familiar with some of these words. Feel free to copy this list. Blah, blah, blah. Good luck improving your language vocabulary. So, let's have a look. Okay, we've got ability, able, about, above, accent, according, account, across, act, action, activity, actually. Oh yeah, actually was definitely used a lot these days. Add, address, administration. Administration. I think of how many times have I used administration in my life. I mean, unless you're really into politics. Admit, adult, affect, after, again. It feels like I'm testing my pronunciation to

be honest against age agency agency as well well yeah the FBI I suppose if you watch that kind of stuff agree agreement ahead okay so here's where we're going with this a list of words like this without any context and in this case not even like a translation so I suppose you're supposed to go and check what they mean makes no sense you can't use it what how are you going to use it like imagine that you didn't know English for a moment cuz I understand you you're watching this video in English so you understand what I'm saying I'm reading this you understand every word that's fantastic but imagine someone who doesn't know anything like they don't know English and they're like oh I've been told that I need to learn okay so let's learn the word amount amount area approach as imagine understanding as with possibly just a dictionary translation of what it means but the word as can be used in a in a plethora of gr grammar structures like for example uh when you say this list is

as fun as watching the grass grow. That was a good one. Or instead saying like as an Italian. It's I really like past. Like it's just giving you the word with no context. No telling on how it's used. The multiple possible translations. Like imagine a word that is polyamic and it depends on the context. It gives. It has a lot of different possible translations. This gives you nothing. Like beat. I'm going to beat someone up. Or that's a nice beat right there. Like like that. It makes because become bed before begin. Like I I already imagine people wasting their time literally going through this and going defense degree Democrat Democratic describe design despite detail determine develop development die difference different difficult. Like what is the point? These just don't work. It's just once again the the main problem that I often see with a lot of students is that first of all you you need to enjoy the process. It's fine to try to F find the most effective ways to learn a language cuz you don't want to take like 10 hours.

for something that it would have taken you 2 hours if you only had done it right. That's fine, but this builds instead on that idea of, Oh, people tell you that you need years to become really fluent in a language. Nah, you can do it in three weeks. Just give me money, just give me money, the shiny money, you know. Let me feel the fiber of your fabric. Give me, and then I give you this, you know. Give me the click, and I give you this list. I don't tell you how to use it. I don't tell you anything about what you would have known. And oh, this is wonderful. Going to the N section, n apostrophe t. N apostrophe T is something that's exactly what I mean. You know what they mean by that. They mean the negative of a verb in the contracted or shortened form, like mustn't or don't. That's the end apostrophe T, but they just put you the n apostrophe T there. What's a person who doesn't know English going to do with

that they're going to be like, What does that mean? What a waste of time. Let me see a Japanese one. 1,000 most frequently used words in Japanese list. There we go. Let's be fluent. Let's become fluent. There we go immediately. Yeah, PL. 'Cause of course, one person does it, they get the clicks, copycats. You know, back in the day when they were telling you, Oh, we humans only use this per 2% of our brain. So imagine if we could access all 100% of your brain. We'd be moving stuff around and teleporting. And then it was debunked. Check this one out. Each language is about 3,000 core words that are used in 70% of daily conversation. In this post, Learn Japanese Daily would like to provide you a th000 most common Japanese words. This list is divided into each 10. Okay, so at least they're not... They're giving you facts, but then they at least... They don't make the claims a lot of these lists make the claim.

they're like learn 500 words and you'll understand everything in a conversation. Then you don't, because of course a word you need to be used to how it's pronounced. You need to hear it pronounced and used multiple times in a proper context by a native in conversation in a naturally organic way. But they don't say that, and there we go. So what have we got in Japanese here? There we go. So day one to go meter to see. Okay, wonderful to make. But at least they give you the translation. I appreciate that. But then again, without the context, how is anyone going to use? Yeah, miror means to see, to look at. That's of course in the infinitive form. It's not conjugated, and it's in the casual way without, you know, for example, the form. But just giving you a verb like that, me, what am I going to do with that? Nothing, which is the problem with these lists. Another thing that I hate is that so the previous one, they were in alphabetical order. Of course, they're not

going to do that in Japanese. I mean, they could if they wanted to, but they're not going to do that. Instead, they are in complete random order. I don't see any criterion in the way this was the way I would have done it instead. Would have been like, Hey, let's do a list of verbs, and it's fine to put them in the most commonly used because, of course, the verb to colonize or to settle maybe shouldn't have the same priority in your learning as the verb to eat. I suppose, I mean, then again, depends on why you're learning the language anyways. So, you want to play Civilization in Japanese, go ahead and learn the verb to colonize in Japanese, but I'm just... or found a city, but I'm just saying like maybe, you know, that one is fine. Now choose the first... I want to say maybe let's choose 20 verbs also because if you give them too many verbs all at the same time, you don't give your students time to really master those verbs. You

give them 100 verbs. You put them in the short-term memory, and then you forget them the moment you start looking at adjectives, which would be how I would divide it. I would be like, Hey, today we are learning 10 verbs, so here are the verbs I chose them specifically because these are words that come out a lot in conversation. That's fine. Make sure then they use them, though. So, if I give them the verb again, could to go or could to come or whatever, you show them how they're used. Have the student use the verb always in a sentence, so full sentence for hearing, full sentence for speaking. Let them use the verbs one among each other, and then you move into maybe you could do 10 adjectives or 5 adjectives and give them 10 nouns that maybe are connected, like, for example, you're learning the motion verbs like to go and to come and to whatever, and then you give them names of cities so they can build in, like, for example, Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto.

whatever Yokohama, and then they need to use the verb like and whatever, so that makes sense. Then you want to give them adjectives to describe a city. How is this city? It's beautiful, it's nice, it's large, it's big, it's small. Give them the adjectives, and then you organically—not like this full list, no sense, and I'm just there just reading the stuff for absolutely no sense. You could do this in any language; it just doesn't work. What are the situations in which a list instead can be used that I was mentioning at the beginning of the video? Well, a good example of that would be, for example, if you're trying to prepare yourself for a specific exam, then why not having a look at the sort of vocabulary that you'd be expected to learn, including with the kind of grammar and all the rest? And then you get the list, and usually, these lists are made well because they're put inside a book. The book also has exercises, has listening that uses those words. It's a situation.

in which yes there is a list yes it has a priority but the priority is because these are words and expressions and grammar structures that would normally be used and found in those specific tests for that specific level according to the European frame of reference from A1 to C2 and then it makes sense but again they are contextualized used on you then they want you to use them on the exercises that's fine similarly if you're preparing for anong kushen or the Japanese language proficiency test jlpt uh then yes you can find for example because of for that one you need to know the kanji a certain number of specific characters you can find these lists they're not 100% accurate but generally speaking the level of accuracy is high enough for you to be like yeah okay these are the first probably the first one 100 kji that'll be required to learn for the first level which will be level five because it starts from five one being the highest and then you want to start you have a list you can follow

that list okay. Today I'm learning two kanji, and I'm going to write them here, have them there, try to use them in a sentence. That's fine to have just a list for something like that. So, those are the situations in which it makes sense. You're preparing for an exam, for a test, but if you're just trying to learn the language, these lists are completely useless.

Frequency Lists are USELESS!

언어 학습에서 일반적인 단어 목록의 비효율성

일상 회화의 85~90%를 커버한다고 주장하는 우선순위가 높은 단어 목록은 언어 학습에 효과적이지 않은 것으로 간주됩니다.

이러한 목록은 문맥이나 번역 없이 제공되는 경우가 많으며, 단어의 실제 사용법을 제공하지 못합니다.

연사는 일반적인 단어를 따로 떼어내어 배우는 것은 말이 되지 않으며 새로운 언어를 효과적으로 가르칠 수 없다고 강조합니다.

언어 학습 목록은 종종 문맥 없이 단어를 제공하므로 학습자에게 비효율적입니다.

빠른 유창성과 돈벌이를 강조하는 방식은 일반적인 오해와 모방이 만연하는 등 실망스러운 결과를 초래합니다.

일부 목록은 일상 회화를 위한 핵심 단어를 제공하지만, 여전히 언어 학습의 혼란과 비효율성에 기여합니다.

500단어 학습이 회화를 이해하는 방법으로 선전되는 경우가 많지만, 효과적인 언어 습득을 위해서는 발음과 문맥이 중요합니다.

일본어 동사 목록은 명확한 학습 기준이 없이 무작위 순서로 제시되어 있어 숙달을 방해할 수 있습니다.

한 번에 너무 많은 동사를 제공하면 학습자가 압도되어 각 동사를 마스터하기 어려울 수 있습니다.

효과적인 언어 학습: 동사, 형용사 및 명사

대화에서 자주 사용되는 동사에 집중하는 것이 언어 학습의 핵심입니다.

학생들은 듣기 및 말하기 연습을 위해 동사를 완전한 문장으로 사용해야 합니다.

도시 이름과 같은 관련 형용사 및 명사를 유기적으로 소개하면 동사 사용을 강화하고 학습에 의미 있는 맥락을 만드는 데 도움이 됩니다.

언어 학습에서 우선순위 목록의 유용성

언어 학습을 위한 우선순위 목록은 A1부터 C2까지 유럽식 프레임워크에 따라 특정 시험에서 자주 출제되는 단어, 표현, 문법 구조를 기반으로 합니다.

이러한 목록은 일본어능력시험과 같은 시험에서도 필수 한자에 대한 가이드를 제공하므로 도움이 될 수 있습니다.

하지만 일반적인 언어 학습에서는 이러한 목록이 쓸모없는 것으로 간주되는 경우가 많습니다.
