如果我们像学习第一语言那样来学习其他语言，会怎样呢？
当我们学习母语时，并不依赖字典。我们在特定的语境中学习单词，这些单词与物体、情境或情感紧密相连。记忆在很大程度上依赖于这些丰富的联想，但大多数语言工具却剥离了这一切。这让我在学习英语、提高英语水平时感到沮丧，因此我创建了“Nattly”，旨在帮助我以母语者习得语言的方式学习英语。
Nattly并不是提供孤立的词汇表，而是将词汇与特定场景和图像相结合，并采用间隔重复法。其目标是基于语境进行回忆练习，而不仅仅是识别直接翻译。
直接提取与识别：
这种接触差距令人震惊。以母语为母语的父母的孩子在能够说话之前，获得了数千小时的语言接触，而成年学习者每年可能只有15到30小时的接触时间。
因此，我在Nattly中构建了一个*广播*功能，生成日常场景：叙述者扮演场景的图像描绘角色，并偶尔用第二语言直接解释困难的单词，帮助学习者建立直接的第二语言联想，而不是不断通过母语进行翻译。随着时间的推移，这种接触将增强直接提取第二语言的路径。
我很想听听你对“Nattly”的反馈。你觉得将单词与故事或情境联系在一起时，记忆起来更容易吗？

When we learn our mother tongue-language, we don't use dictionaries. We learn words in context, tied to an object, a situation, or a feeling. Memory relies heavily on these rich associations, but most language tools strip all of that away.
This is something that frustrated me personally when i wanted to learn english and get better at it, so I built "Nattly" to help me learn English the same way native english speakers acquire it.<p>Instead of isolated lists, Nattly ties vocabulary to specific scenarios and images, backed by spaced repetition. The goal is to practice recall based on context rather than just recognizing direct translations.<p>Direct retrieval vs Recognition:<p>The exposure gap is staggering. Children of native spaeker parents get thousands of hours of language exposure before they can speak, while adult learners may get just 15–30 hours a year.<p>So I built a *Radio* feature in Nattly that generates everyday scenarios: The narrator plays the role of an image depiction of the scene taking place and occasionally explains difficult words directly in L2, helping learners build direct L2 associations rather than constantly translating through their native language L1.
Over time, this exposure will strengthen pathways for direct retrieval in L2.<p>I'd love to hear your feedback on "Nattly". Do you find words easier to remember when attached to a story or situation?
