Phil here. In this week’s episode, I explore the idea of "playing to understand" when it comes to language acquisition. I believe that instead of focusing on memorization and knowledge about a language, we should adopt a more childlike attitude and focus on playing an understanding game to learn Chinese. By doing so, we can achieve real fluency and understand language patterns on a deeper level. I also emphasize that understanding does not equal memorization and that our brains are wired to extract patterns from languagess
