It's open, come in!
From that moment my rapid immersion in English started.
I created more and more files with words and phrases. I became faster at memorizing each new file. Of course, my time in an English-speaking country and my ability to read helped me as well. But it was something new that did not fit into my experience of learning a foreign language. I realized that I had accidentally found a solid foundation in the swamp, fulcrum, that would help me to turn the world upside down.
Although I was a novice programmer, I immediately realized how the understanding process takes place in my head. The brain turned out to be extremely similar to a computer, only incomparably more powerful. The same processes and laws acted in it. In order to understand a phrase spoken in any language, the brain must first recognize it. Recognition occurs by comparing the phrase that is heard with the original, which is stored on the hard drive of our brain. If there is no such stored matrix, the brain has to process the message. It takes much longer, that is why we need more time for processing unfamiliar information. In this case we ask to speak more slowly.
My goal was to fill my head with as many voiced words and phrases as possible. Since the problem with nouns was solved with the help of thematic groups, I decided to add some verbs and adjectives related to these topics.

My method worked.
Pleased with my discovery, I wrote a two-page essay in Russian, which I translated into English using a Google translator. After that, I met with a doctor of computer science, who dealt with the problem of artificial intelligence.
As a man of science, he was very polite and attentive. He looked at my research, then returned it to me and very seriously advised: “Galina, draw diagrams!”
