Want to LEARN? You Must WRITE.

Most people only write when they have to. But if you’re trying to learn something, especially a language, writing will make your learning faster, richer, and more efficient. Writing plays a powerful role in how we think, learn, and remember. In this video, I’ll show you why and how to become an active writer. You’ll then learn how rewriting helps rewire your brain beyond surface-level understanding. Finally, I will share practical ways to use writing as a language learner, including journaling, rewriting with new vocabulary, and using writing to think about your own thinking. I also discuss why relying too heavily on AI tools can weaken this process instead of strengthening it. Every time you use ChatGPT or Gemini to write FOR you, your brain gets weaker. I’m sure you’ve already noticed that yourself. Please don’t sabotage yourself by using these tools for that purpose.
