Episode notes
Automation Beats Rule Memorization
- Many learners collect rules but fail because they don't build an automated system for use.
- Thiago argues B2 requires automation so words come out without conscious recall.
Two Years Lost To Books Alone
- Thiago spent two years learning English only with books and couldn't use the language fluently.
- He shifted from learning to processing English to move knowledge into long-term memory.
Choose Interest-Based Immersion
- Consume English daily but only about topics you truly care about to stop your brain fighting the language.
- Filter content by interest and use podcasts, videos, and books related to your hobbies for immersion.
