Guides
Guide 1 — Quick Start: Generate Your Mind Map
- Open Netflix or YouTube and start any video.
- Open the AI tab from the sidebar and click Mind Map.
- Wait a few seconds while the map is generated.
- A window opens with your personalized Mind Map:
- Key vocabulary from the video
- Connections between words and ideas
- A clean, visual layout for quick review Outcome: A ready-to-study visual map built from the exact video you’re watching.
Guide 2 — Learn Vocabulary Faster (Context First)
- Start with central nodes (the biggest or most connected words).
- For each, say out loud: meaning → simple example → why it appears here.
- Move along the connected lines to learn related phrases without switching context.
- End with a 30-second recap: “Today I learned X connects to Y because…” Outcome: You build meaning from the scene—so memory sticks.
Guide 3 — Spot Patterns & Structures
Use the map to discover how language works in the scene:
- Synonyms/near-synonyms: Helps with nuanced word choice.
- Opposites/contrast: Great for debates or emotional shifts in dialogue.
- Cause → effect chains: Track plot logic and academic videos.
- Topic clusters: See main themes at a glance for summaries or exams. Outcome: You understand both vocabulary and structure, not just isolated words.
Guide 4 — Multilingual Practice (If You Learn with L1 + L2)
- Read the map in your target language first (L2).
- For tricky nodes, briefly note your native-language hint (L1).
- Return to the L2 map and restate relationships in L2.
- Optional: Ask yourself, “What connects these three words?”—answer in L2. Outcome: Faster comprehension without depending on translation.
Guide 5 — Review in 3 Minutes (After Each Episode)
- Minute 1: Scan the biggest nodes and say their meanings aloud.
- Minute 2: Walk one connection path (A → B → C) and make a 1-sentence summary.
- Minute 3: Pick two new words to use tomorrow in a message or mini-journal. Outcome: Short, consistent reviews that turn watching into lasting learning.
