Learn French with Anthony

B1#01 Mémoire et généalogie

In this story, a wax bowl of stinky tofu named Stinfu wants to transform into real food. How does he do it? This is Part 3 of 4. 

The night market had finished and all the satisfied customers had left. There was only the restaurant staff, working very quickly to pack up. They didn’t want to spend another minute around a kitchen. They wanted to get home to their warm houses and relax. 

Stinfu stayed where he was. From his view in the showcase, he couldn’t see any of the workers, but he could definitely hear them. He heard plates being washed and stacked; and he heard spray bottles used to clean tables. 

Then, right on time, just like every night, Stinfu was picked up and moved out onto the counter. A waiter then reached inside the showcase and wiped the glass. 
Stinfu looked out at the lonely, empty night market and wished for a miracle. 

I’ve done my service… I’ve attracted thousands of customers to eat stinky tofu… I’m done. I’m tired of living a fake life. I know I’m something real, something more than this wax figure. 

And with that thought, Stinfu saw the homeless man return. 

The homeless man creeped forward, trying to stay hidden from the restaurant workers. He crouched down behind a table and looked straight at Stinfu. The homeless man’s eyes said everything: I’m going to get that stinky tofu or die trying! 

Stinfu lit up with absolute joy and sung a little song in his mind. 

Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m ready. Eat me, eat me, eat me—I’m delicious! 

When the time was right, and the workers were nowhere to be seen, the homeless man ran forward to the counter and snatched Stinfu.

Forget what everyone else says—this tip is all about empowering YOU to embrace the learning methods that work for you, no matter how unconventional they may seem. Research shows that confidence and personal relevance are key to successful learning. So why let someone else dictate your path? When it feels wrong, then it is probably wrong for you. That is also why this podcast is about 111 Tips for Learning a Language and Not 111 Must Do Methods for Learning a Language.

💥 Know that you are allowed to break Free from Convention:
Teachers might tell you that memorizing sentences word-for-word isn’t the best approach. Sure, there’s logic behind understanding sentence structure to expand your conversation skills. But what if you just want to start speaking now? What if memorizing phrases helps you get that plate of food, navigate a new city, or simply break the ice in a conversation? Guess what? That’s totally okay!

Studies indicate that personalized learning strategies—no matter how unconventional—can enhance motivation and retention. So, if memorizing a few key phrases helps you feel confident and ready to speak, go for it! It’s your learning journey, and every step counts.
