Forming mental connections between objects and their respective words is the forgettable part. I will understand and read and write my native language, but recalling anything beyond household vocabulary for speech is hard. I found it is rather trainable, especially if you force yourself into a podcast/streaming format of monologues
And don't ask me to translate anything, all that comes daily in a language, stays in that language. For example, the tech stuff is exclusively English, household predominantly Russian, conversational is mostly German. Therefore translation is yet another skill that requires you to connect meanings and connotations of words and phrases between two languages. This is probably the issue people have, when they learn a language in writing by a dictionary.
- AStonesThrow 2y agoI feel that many tech job interviews are failed when a candidate's unable to express themselves with industry jargon, demonstrate that they've been through formal college training, or read the documentation and collaborated with other pros. Or their eyes are glazing over as the local tech stack is explained. And finally the trick question that elicits a confidently incorrect answer because they're out of their depth. In Genesis, a key event in creation is Adam naming all the animals and plants around him. While neighbors to Israel surely had their own language and terms, this definitely makes a statement about cultural primacy and correctness of speech.
