Really good outline and presentation. Thank you!

Tips for studiying grammar pls 🙏

Thanks for the overview. Very encouraging and a good methodology.

Very good

Thanks for the video

Great video!

I don't understand why my recommendation of a useful app is always deleted? Is it considered spam and advertising? The second time I already recommend (forbidden) application and the post is immediately deleted. You want to help people, and they don't let you(( it's sad. I myself found out about this app from RUclips comments and am immensely happy about it.

Instant Like on this video. Reading academic texts in my target language was the whole purpose of starting my Second Language journey.

Appreciate it

It was a really good video about language learning. I'm learning english I have a good vocabulary like ~3000 words but I struggling with the grammar and word order It's been hard to me

Thank you for the video. Reading does really help to learn the language. Something I noticed about reading is that only when I started reading aloud then I saw progress. But I did not make a list of words and use flashcards so maybe that would help to progress faster😅 anyway great video 🎉

The link to the Discord server didn't work

One complete guide for Chinese please 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔊

reading my mind again o,o

Thanks for the video

7:47 Passive v Active Recall

Repetition is good, but not trying to force the vocabulary in your head like you're studying for a quiz. This is why reading is so effective. You get "spaced repetition" while you're reading a story.

great vid 🙌

I'm listening to you to improve my English language,but you speak too fast 😅. However,thank you that will definitely help me out with My japanese .

i appreciate ur videos man, they’ve been a big help. i’m also learning russian and the videos and resources ur providing are very nice. i hope your channel grows and gets the views it deserves

These videos are rly helpful! Thanks for making them

Thanks for the video bro Im focusing on Russian , German and Italian

It's possible to get audio into Anki, but Anki in general feels daunting to setup >< For example the 'Easy German expressions' deck

He said it! He said the thing! 0:05 INGWYT

Nice work, you make good points. I’m with you, I’m working on my German and I’m in the ‘it’s a bit too soon for Harry Potter’ camp. I’ve got it though, ready and waiting, and I am watching the films with German language and German subtitles. Because I know the plot I don’t have to worry what is happening, I just focus on the words I can understand, next I’ll try and get through with no subtitles. Much harder. Then I’ll hit the book again. More my current speed,….my German colleague has leant me a Donald Duck comic which I’m struggling through. At least it has pictures!🤦🏼‍♀️

Reading my mind again 😂

Too busy roasting myself

Useful

I agree with everything and the tips. If you've watched the video and still struggle with this, you may have a weak reason for learning your target language. Reflect and really think why you want to learn the language, have a strong "why do I want to learn this?". There will be multiple times in your language learning journey that you will question yourself "why bother?". This is why you need a strong enough reason. If your brain is fried and can't even start, implement all his tips in the vidéo and you're golden.

You're to the point with practical info Los geht's!

Good video! I've been learning languages independently for nearly 6 years now and I've had a streak over 800 days and a few over 100 across multiple languages, all of which I ended purposefully. Duolingo is a great way to introduce yourself to a language, the first few lessons always teach the same sort of content. Writing system, some very standard words. I think people should use this opening step as a way to master pronunciation early on, and by that I mean listen to anything but the robot voices at Duolingo because they get things wrong. I also agree that the streak can be used to motivate studying but by the end of my longest streak I found myself keeping it up just for the sake of keeping it up and I wasn't learning anything. Now I track all my days on a weekly tracker on my tablet and I infrequently use Duolingo just to try the end of unit tests as a way to assess what I learn outside of the app. Finding a way to self-motivate is paramount to the success of any long term project, like learning a language. Everyone is different so if one finds themselves motivated by the streak and consistently improving then absolutely, they should continue it. Duolingo is really bad at actually teaching though and I've long grown to hate its' methods. It is absolutely not the language learning phenom it claims to be. If you want to learn more vocabulary use Drops or dictionaries and make flashcards, get comprehensible input in the form of reading and listening, and speak with AI or other learners and speakers. Conversation. Back and forwards. That is how you learn a language, not with 1 dimensional auxiliary tools like Duolingo. All in all I think Duo's usefulness is up by about a month into any language learning process. There are good things and bad things about it. I'm working on Chinese now and of all the languages I've studied this is the one I have used Duolingo for the least. It has also become my best language in less time than I spent on any other language individually, and I attribute this to the culmination of good studying techniques I've accrued since I started this hobby. Anyone new to languages reading this, heed my words so that you don't also have to spend 5 years learning how to acquire a language properly. Also I can't tell if your website is predatory or if it doesn't take itself seriously lol. Anyway I respect the hustle, if I wasn't lazy I would probably sell my knowledge too. Guess there will always be people that pay for self help courses for some reason. I just can't deal with the dedication to marketing.

I didn't know that there were websites that provide beginner texts in a target language. I'm currently at a beginner level in French, do you have a suggestion for a website to help with that?

I have been using Duolingo every day for 800 days with very few exceptions. I didn't even plan to learn a language at the moment, my friend talked me into it and I chose to get back to French after several years. Somehow the game features of Duolingo really kept me going until I got serious with learning, because of a job offer. I love that I started having a streak and now I even started a job at the border to France so that I can visit more often. ❤

Great tips. Thank you.

Some people in flashcards favour just putting words but no context, generally. If a phrase is needed, you can't remember it or get it wrong or confuse two similar phrases then adding more context in flashcards. Generally I wouldn't though. Interesting ideas about output, though. I'm not keen on active recall. It's very burdensome. I do do this if I really need the word? am struggling with it. I add active recall if I need to look up something I already have a card for so obviously the passive recall on its own didn't 'stick'. An advantage of Anki is it arranges its sequence of cards. I mean other systems are possible. Overall, Interesting ideas.

Yes to a degree. Yet I got so mad at them in the French one. There’s no communication in the feedback. I told them stop saying bus is pronounced like but ( silent last letter). They never got back to me and when it happened two more times I ditched French (after 766 days) because it was énervant! I’m doing Hangul now. 70 days. I’ve gotten kicked out of emerald today and I don’t care. It no longer motivates me.

The thing about Persian that keeps drawing me to it is its beauty. No other language hits my ear in the same way.

The answer is yes. The answer is yes because it is promoting regular interaction with the target language. It doesn’t matter if the user learns anything new, and no one is expecting duo to be some type of magic bullet. But creating a regular routine is a keystone towards getting better in your target language. Duo is the lesser evil in this game. The alternative is making yourself have a routine with no strategy or structure. Duo nags you every day. Are you going to be motivated otherwise? No, no you’re not. Does that mean the learners need a paid account? No. No one needs a paid Duo account. You can go for 6 years with a non paid account. I promise you. I have and continue to. Duo helped me keep a routine. I rarely forget. I think the biggest gap is maybe 2 days in a row. I also found that sticking at it and completing the tree means I have a fairly okay general understanding of my target. I can read simple text. I can make simple sentences. I can understand spoken up to a point. No, I am not fluent. But I can do a lot more than I could 6 years ago.

Flashcards are very helpful. I use Anki. I'm not against physical cards but Anki solves the sequencing problem. The real repetition comes from encountering the words in the real world. Flash cards can lead to a virtuous circle because it helps you get to good reading practices which reinforce all the words you have already learned and introduces new ones in context. So I like flashcards.

Debo estudiar gramática por lo que te agradezco en mi idioma, muchas gracias por tus videos, la información es muy útil.

why not just use anki

Thanks

Only 300 subscribers???? Absolute gem of a channel. Thank you for your videos ❤

Cool video! I just wanted to ask if you know any websites for beginners dedicated to Arabic language learning? I checked out the lingua website, it looks very nice too!

For someone who is interested in learning several Romance or Germanic languages I recommend to read "The Loom of Languages" from Bodmer. The book is about 80 yrs old, so it sounds a bit backdated every now and then, but it shows you patters which will help learning several languages from one family. The book (pdf) is available online for free.

Damn man, a really cool vid! Keep it up!

learning enemy's language? that is fine you can understand when bad ruzzians talking shit about you behind your back and curse them

About active recall.... I sometimes try to describe things around me, when I'm in the city, on the tram, etc. Or while watching TV in my native language translate words I know on the spot. Another tip.... Use the cards of the game "Taboo" and use it to find ways to describe something without the specific word. First, do it own your own as a practice, than do it with others - in real life or online.

Thanks for Study Stack. Always looking for different vocabulary sites.

Consistency is always the hardest part for me.. "I forgot to study today, I'll do it tomorrow"
