Why Knowledge Must Be Refreshed

Knowledge is alive - it fades unless we return to it.

[Wissen ist lebendig – es verblasst, wenn wir nicht zu ihm zurückkehren.]

The brain is not a warehouse. It’s a living system that strengthens what we use and weakens what we ignore.
[Das Gehirn ist kein Lagerhaus. Es ist ein lebendiges System, das stärkt, was wir benutzen, und schwächt, was wir ignorieren.]

That’s why the rule use it or lose it is brutally true.
[Deshalb ist die Regel „Use it or lose it“ brutal wahr.]

1. The Forgetting Curve - Natural, Not a Personal Failure

People forget up to 70% of new information within a week if they don’t revisit it.
[Menschen vergessen bis zu 70 % neuer Informationen innerhalb einer Woche, wenn sie sie nicht wiederholen.]

This isn’t laziness — it’s biology.
[Das ist keine Faulheit. Es ist Biologie.]

The brain deletes what it considers unimportant — and “unimportant” simply means “unused.”
[Das Gehirn löscht, was es für unwichtig hält – und „unwichtig“ bedeutet schlicht „ungenutzt“.]

2. Repetition Creates Stability

Every time we return to a concept, the neural pathways grow thicker, faster, and more stable.
[Jedes Mal, wenn wir zu einem Konzept zurückkehren, werden die neuronalen Verbindungen dicker, schneller und stabiler.]

Refreshing knowledge turns weak memories into strong, accessible skills.
[Auffrischung verwandelt schwache Erinnerungen in starke, abrufbare Fähigkeiten.]

3. Real Mastery Comes From Revisiting, Not One-Time Learning

True mastery doesn’t come from learning something once — it comes from returning to it again and again.
[Wahre Meisterschaft entsteht nicht dadurch, etwas einmal zu lernen – sondern dadurch, immer wieder zu ihm zurückzukehren.]

Professionals refresh.
Experts repeat.
Masters revisit.
[Profis frischen auf. Experten wiederholen. Meister besuchen Themen erneut.]

4. CODE + Refreshing = Integration

CODE naturally supports the refresh cycle:
[CODE unterstützt den Auffrischungsprozess ganz natürlich:]

• COLLECT: gather experiences since last time
  [COLLECT: Erfahrungen seit dem letzten Mal sammeln]

• ORGANISE: what changed? what still works?
  [ORGANISE: Was hat sich verändert? Was funktioniert noch?]

• DEEPEN: test understanding again, compare, improve
  [DEEPEN: Verständnis erneut prüfen, vergleichen, verbessern]

• EMBODY: anchor improvements through practice
  [EMBODY: Verbesserungen durch Übung verankern]

Refreshing knowledge inside the CODE rhythm prevents skill-fade.
[Die Auffrischung im CODE-Rhythmus verhindert Fähigkeitsverlust.]

5. DeepTalk Keeps Knowledge Emotionally Alive

DeepTalk strengthens memory in a different way: emotionally and socially.
[DeepTalk stärkt Wissen auf eine andere Weise: emotional und sozial.]

When people talk openly about where they struggle, what improved, what they noticed — they reactivate knowledge inside their nervous system.
[Wenn Menschen offen über ihre Schwierigkeiten, Fortschritte und Beobachtungen sprechen, aktivieren sie dieses Wissen im Nervensystem erneut.]

Talking about learning preserves learning.
[Über Lernen zu sprechen, erhält das Lernen.]

6. The Cost of Not Refreshing

If we don’t refresh skills, three things happen:
[Wenn wir Fähigkeiten nicht auffrischen, passieren drei Dinge:]

1. Speed drops
   [Geschwindigkeit sinkt]

2. Errors increase
   [Fehler häufen sich]

3. Confidence collapses
   [Selbstvertrauen bricht ein]

People think they “lost the skill,” but in truth, they simply didn’t refresh it.
[Menschen glauben, sie hätten „die Fähigkeit verloren“, aber eigentlich haben sie sie nur nicht aufgefrischt.]

7. The Human Truth

We lose what we don’t practise — but we also lose what we don’t revisit emotionally.
[Wir verlieren, was wir nicht üben – aber wir verlieren auch, was wir emotional nicht wiederbeleben.]

Refreshing knowledge is an act of care — for the skill, for the learning, and for oneself.
[Auffrischen ist ein Akt der Fürsorge – für die Fähigkeit, für das Lernen und für sich selbst.]

This is Relevant for your English - and Every Other Skill

Skills don’t disappear suddenly. They fade quietly when we stop using them.
[Fähigkeiten verschwinden nicht plötzlich. Sie verblassen leise, wenn wir sie nicht mehr benutzen.]

Your brain strengthens what you practise and weakens what you ignore.
[Dein Gehirn stärkt das, was du übst, und schwächt das, was du ignorierst.]

Even strong skills slowly “fall asleep” if you don’t revisit them.
[Das bedeutet, dass selbst starke Fähigkeiten langsam „einschlafen“, wenn du sie nicht wiederholst.]

The good news: they wake up very quickly when you refresh them.
[Die gute Nachricht: Sie wachen sehr schnell wieder auf, wenn du sie auffrischst.]

A few minutes of review, a short conversation, one small exercise — and the pathways become active again.
[Ein paar Minuten Wiederholung, ein kurzes Gespräch, eine kleine Übung – und die Verbindungen werden wieder aktiv.]

This is true for English, for music, for sports, for technology — for everything.
[Das gilt für Englisch, für Musik, für Sport, für Technik – für alles.]

Don’t wait for skills to fade. Refresh them gently and regularly. Your future self will thank you.
[Warte nicht, bis Fähigkeiten verblassen. Frische sie sanft und regelmäßig auf. Dein zukünftiges Ich wird dir danken.]

Preparing for the TOEFL

Preparing for the TOEFL begins with a thorough understanding of its structure. Familiarity with the test format is essential for success, as it helps reduce test-day anxiety and allows you to focus on showcasing your English proficiency without facing unexpected challenges.

1. Overview of the TOEFL Format

The TOEFL iBT consists of four sections:

• Reading: Assesses your ability to comprehend academic texts.

• Listening: Evaluates your understanding of spoken English in academic contexts.

• Speaking: Measures your ability to express ideas verbally.

• Writing: Tests your ability to articulate thoughts effectively in written English.

2. Section Details

Each section is timed and designed to assess specific skills:

• Reading: Includes passages followed by questions that test comprehension and analytical abilities.

• Listening: Features lectures and conversations, each accompanied by questions to assess understanding.

• Speaking: Comprises tasks that require both independent responses and integration of reading and listening materials.

• Writing: Consists of tasks that involve writing responses based on reading and listening, as well as composing an essay on a given topic.

3. Importance of Familiarity

Understanding the test format ensures:

• Effective time management during the exam.

• Minimization of unexpected surprises.

• Confidence in handling various question types.

4. Strategies to Become Familiar

• Utilize Official Resources: The ETS website offers free materials, including practice questions and sample tests. 

  ETS

• Watch Tutorials: Engage with videos that demonstrate the test interface and timing to enhance understanding.

• Practice Each Section: Work on sample questions and review explanations to grasp the reasoning behind correct answers.

• Simulate Test Conditions: Practice in a quiet environment to replicate test-day settings.

5. Benefits of Familiarization

• Anticipate the structure of each section, conserving valuable time.

• Direct your preparation towards improving weaker areas.

• Build confidence by reducing uncertainties associated with test day.

Investing time to familiarize yourself with the TOEFL format is a straightforward yet powerful strategy to enhance your chances of success.

1. Practice Under Timed Conditions

The TOEFL exam’s strict time limits can be one of the most challenging aspects for test-takers. To perform well, you need to practice managing your time effectively while maintaining accuracy.

Why Timing Matters

Success on the TOEFL isn’t just about knowing the material—it’s about demonstrating speed and precision under pressure. Practicing within time constraints helps you:

• Allocate your time wisely during each section.

• Build the stamina needed for the exam’s duration.

• Identify and overcome time-management hurdles before test day.

Tips for Practicing Under Timed Conditions

• Set Timers: Simulate the test by timing tasks, such as 60 minutes for the Reading section or 20 minutes for Speaking.

• Track Progress: Note how long you take to complete tasks, and gradually work on improving your speed.

• Focus on Accuracy First: Prioritize correct answers initially, then aim to increase your speed while maintaining precision.

Mock Tests: Your Best Practice Tool

Full-length practice tests are invaluable for refining your timing skills. They help you:

• Spot sections or question types that slow you down.

• Build mental endurance for the exam’s three-hour length.

Overcoming Timing Challenges

If you find it difficult to finish sections on time:

• Reading: Use skimming techniques to find key details faster.

• Listening: Take clear, concise notes and focus on main ideas.

• Speaking: Practice organizing thoughts quickly for coherent responses.

• Writing: Outline your essays to streamline your thought process.

2. Improve Typing Speed (for the Writing Section)

In the TOEFL Writing section, your ability to type quickly and accurately can impact how well you articulate your ideas. Improving your typing speed ensures you have enough time to brainstorm, write, and revise.

Why Typing Speed is Crucial

• Time Management: Faster typing leaves more time for planning and proofreading.

• Content Quality: Speed allows you to focus on expressing your ideas rather than the mechanics of typing.

How to Boost Typing Speed

• Practice with Tools: Free websites like TypingClub or Keybr can help improve speed and accuracy.

• Simulate Writing Prompts: Use TOEFL essay topics to practice typing under timed conditions.

• Learn Keyboard Shortcuts: Familiarity with shortcuts like Ctrl+C (copy) and Ctrl+V (paste) saves time during the test.

• Focus on Accuracy First: As you develop muscle memory, speed will naturally improve.

Benefits of Faster Typing

• Extra time to refine and expand on your arguments.

• Reduced stress from worrying about running out of time.

• Greater ability to produce well-structured, polished essays.

3. Master Skimming and Scanning Techniques

Effective skimming and scanning are essential for tackling the TOEFL Reading section. These strategies help you quickly navigate through passages and locate important information.

What Do Skimming and Scanning Involve?

• Skimming: Quickly reading to grasp the main ideas.

• Scanning: Searching for specific details, such as dates, names, or keywords.

Strategies for Skimming

• Focus on titles, headings, and subheadings to understand the structure of the text.

• Read the opening and closing sentences of paragraphs to capture main points.

• Look for repeated words or phrases that emphasize key themes.

Strategies for Scanning

• Identify keywords in the question.

• Use these keywords to locate relevant sections of the passage.

• Read nearby sentences to find the answer.

4. Engage in English Conversations

The Speaking section of the TOEFL evaluates your ability to communicate fluently. Regular practice speaking in English is one of the best ways to build confidence and fluency.

Why Speaking Practice is Important

• Enhances fluency and natural expression.

• Improves pronunciation and intonation.

• Trains you to think and respond quickly in English.

Practical Ways to Practice

• Join English conversation groups, both in-person and online.

• Practice with a friend, tutor, or language partner.

• Record yourself responding to sample questions and evaluate your answers for clarity and coherence.

5. Take Full-Length Mock Tests

Mock tests are an essential tool for TOEFL preparation, offering a realistic simulation of test conditions. They help you assess your readiness and refine your strategies.

Benefits of Mock Tests

• Familiarize yourself with the test format and timing.

• Identify your strengths and areas for improvement.

• Build the stamina needed for the full 3-hour exam.

How to Use Mock Tests Effectively

• Take them under exam-like conditions to replicate the pressure of test day.

• Review your performance to pinpoint weak areas.

• Retake tests periodically to measure your progress and adjust your preparation strategies.

By incorporating full-length mock tests into your preparation, you’ll feel more confident and ready to tackle the real TOEFL exam.

The Path to Mastering English for the TELC Exam

The TELC (The European Language Certificates) exams are internationally recognized assessments of practical language skills, aligned with the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference). The TELC English exams evaluate your ability to use English in real-life contexts. Whether you're preparing for a general, business, or academic TELC English test, a focused approach will help you achieve your goals.

1. Understand the TELC Exam Format

TELC English exams have multiple levels (e.g., B1, B2, C1) tailored to different proficiency levels. The exam typically includes these sections:

1. Reading: Comprehension of texts like articles, advertisements, and reports.

2. Listening: Understanding spoken English in conversations, announcements, or radio programs.

3. Writing: Composing letters, reports, or essays.

4. Speaking: A face-to-face evaluation involving presentations, discussions, or problem-solving tasks.

The test is skill-oriented, emphasizing practical language use in everyday or professional settings.

2. Set Your Goal and Determine Your Level

• Determine the level of TELC you need (e.g., B1 for basic communication, B2 for advanced working knowledge, or C1 for academic/professional mastery).

• Take a practice test or use an online placement test to assess your current proficiency.

• Set realistic goals, like "achieve a B2 TELC certificate within six months."

3. Build Core Language SkillsVocabulary

• Focus on topic-specific vocabulary based on the exam level:

  • B1-B2: Everyday topics like travel, work, health, and hobbies.

  • C1: Academic and formal language, abstract topics, and professional contexts.

• Use flashcards or apps like Quizlet to practice word meanings, collocations, and idioms.

Grammar

• Master grammar suitable for your level:

  • B1: Basic tenses (past, present, future), comparatives, and modal verbs.

  • B2: Complex structures like conditionals, passive voice, and reported speech.

  • C1: Advanced grammar, such as inversions, cleft sentences, and hypothetical structures.

Pronunciation

• Focus on clarity and fluency for the speaking section.

• Practice stress, intonation, and rhythm through shadowing exercises, where you mimic native speakers.

4. Prepare for Each SectionReading

• Practice reading a variety of texts: articles, brochures, reports, and short stories.

• Develop skimming and scanning techniques to quickly identify main ideas and details.

• Pay attention to connectors and transitional words (e.g., "however," "therefore").

Listening

• Listen to English podcasts, radio programs, or online videos with a focus on everyday conversations and announcements.

• Practice predicting the type of information you need before listening (e.g., numbers, names, or actions).

• Note key words and phrases while listening to improve comprehension.

Writing

• Practice writing structured responses for common TELC tasks:

  • Informal and formal letters (B1-B2).

  • Reports, proposals, or essays (C1).

• Focus on clarity, coherence, and vocabulary range.

• Review and edit your writing for grammar and spelling errors.

Speaking

• Familiarize yourself with the speaking tasks:

  • B1: Answering personal questions, describing situations, and short dialogues.

  • B2-C1: Giving presentations, discussing abstract topics, and problem-solving in pairs.

• Practice speaking with a partner or using language exchange apps like Tandem.

• Record yourself to evaluate fluency, pronunciation, and coherence.

5. Practice Integrated Skills

TELC tasks often combine skills (e.g., listening and writing). To prepare:

• Summarize information from listening or reading materials.

• Engage in tasks like listening to a podcast and then discussing it.

• Write summaries of articles or videos in English.

6. Use Effective Test Strategies

• Familiarize yourself with the marking criteria for each section.

• Time yourself during practice to simulate exam conditions.
