I used duolingo for 1 year straight and I regret using it. I think that the app is one of the worst / slowest methods for learning a language but I still think it's a great app that I would still recommend in certain circumstances.

The BEST Netflix SHOW for Language Learning for BEGINNERS I Have Found
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.7 месяцев назад
I share a show which I found on Netflix which is the best show that I have found for learning a language for beginners. I explain why it's the best show to learn and how to learn with it. Pokemon Concierge
YES!! this method is the best and easiest. Bonus points if you listen to the show and try to read the subtitles along with the show, like as they are talking, and try to imitate exactly how the actor is speaking. It can be kind of fun to try to copy the actors voice, but this will super charge your learning, as well as hugely improve your pronunciation. keep watching brother! It would be awesome to see a 2 year update as well!
“I learnt”
You can relearn your native language like an spanish speaker. Yo will learn a lot about your own language and the difficulties and differences of the languages.
In my particular cases with the English language the comprehensible input has improved my skills. I think that is a more natural and funny method to learning languages.
Man you look like you are in early 20s, its crazy😮
How did you meet your girlfriend and end up in Dominican Republic?
Tinder. I think you have to pay for tinder to do this but you can set your account to different countries from where you are located. Some people will be open to video chatting to help you practice. Another great way learn a language
Thanks for this video. I'm only 6 months into my Spanish journey and my path seems similar to yours. I've been using Duplingo, Babbel, grammar books, etc. I've recently switched to podcasts on LingQ, but thanks to this video I will switch to watching content en espanol on Netflix. Gracias.
Agree, manches my own experience. Thanks for sharing!
I have 2 questions. 1. You only watched 1 hr per day average? 2. Did you take lessons or talk to peope in Spanish?
yea about an hour a day i'd say never taken any lessons yes I have texted and talked to people quite a bit
These kinds of conversations are cool and I'm sure your channel will grow if you consistently make content like this. As a suggestion, you could put some relevant links pertaining to the discussion, in the video description.
Question, if the show I watch doesn’t have subtitles in their language, in only English subtitles, does that hinder my learning capability
If you still need the subtitles than yea it will. But it's good to start watching some stuff without subtitles also when you get better
A1 is NORMALLY a synonym to beginner but not in ALL languages ( like outside of European ones).
Great advice , I wish all people did this , I grew up watching American shows , I started with Sabrina The Teenage Witch , Buffy The Vampire Slayer ,Charmed ....etc . Now I am fluent in English and I never had any problems with my English classes in school , a few years ago I started watching Turkish series in Turkish unlike everyone I knew who watched them dubbed , with 6 months of studying Turkish grammar I was able to communicate with Turkish natives and I made a bunch of Turkish friends, this years started watching La Casa De Papel in Spanish , so by watching shows and series in foreign languages I was able to learn 2 languages and I am learning my third , No one speaks languages perfectly not even their own native languages but having the ability to communicate with people from different countries and different cultures and background is awesome , I love taking to people with different life style and just learn about their perspective about life and culture .
that's so cool! may I ask what your mother tongue is? I'm guessing Arabic from your name which makes this even more impressive since Arabic and English are different language families
You guessed it 😊, it is Arabic , and compared to Turkish I would say English is not that difficult to learn , I would be impressed more with people who speak Turkish and then master English because they r very different grammar wise which is the corner stone of every language .
Wow that's amazing. Makes sense. The guy on days and words was saying that in countries that only sub movies and don't really do dubs, the people usually speak english well. I found this to be true in Norway for sure. If you would be interested in doing an interview/video with me on this channel let me know. My email is: leosnojunk@gmail.com
@@user-od6xe4uv1x Very cool! Plenty of people have trouble with English so you can still count English as a big accomplishment even if Turkish is more complex
Great tips. Thanks 👍🏻
Cool
thank you for great interview. she's really fluent
Nice !! Thank you for the tips brother
the first thing to learn is the word "learned"
It's the UK version of the word. It's actually not incorrect but I thought it was too at first. I just used that version to shorten the title
Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American….
Maybe you can add in the description or provide a link to the testing she talked about at the very beginning of the video

I"m 50 plus and speak perfect english and have NO idea what a noun is.
Learning Spanish - a language with a high lexical similarity to English - this way, and claiming you can do the same with any other language without any evidence to back it up is quite ridiculous. I don't doubt this will work for languages that are similar to English. You can just logically pick up similar words and grammar and get the gist of how they might be used. The same cannot be said for languages that are mostly unrelated to English.
Well you would just have to learn more of those other languages first before watching TV then. Whatever language you learn, you are going to have to listen to A LOT of it at some point
Interesting experience, thanks for the tips. What's your first language?
english
@@TheLanguageLion wow, I thought you were Russian or from another Slavic country😅.
You said, "You have to enjoy the show you're watching." I have yet to find one single show in Spanish that I actually like. So far, none of them are interesting.
There are spanish dubs of most shows and movies
@@TheLanguageLiontrue !! I’m just gonna rewatch Naruto but this time in Spanish🙌 thanks for this video❤️
you are awesome for speaking the spanish you know to show everyone that it works. you are speaking fluidly without pausing and stuttering. your method is the number one method!!
can we connect? i am a content creator and want to collaborate with you. how do we connect here?
how do I contact you? Your bio doesn't have your Insta or your email. By the way, you're introduction on this video is fantastic.
leobugelebiz@gmail.com
I've been using the same input method for the last 3 years and it really works. Everything mentiomed is what i experienced. Language apps have it all wrong using "speaking" as a selling point when listening comprehension is really more important. But I can understand their reasoning since learning to speak is more "sexy" than learning to comprehend.
I use a free VPN app to watch native language content for free.
which vpn app do you use?
Really useful, thanks!
600th Sub! Thank you for this, confirmed a lot for me now time to execute ! Let’s gooo
Where did you go or what website did you use to find these episodes of South Park. I went to several websites and could not find what I was looking for. Please let me know how you found this series. Thank you very much.
HBO in the united states. I'm in the caribean now and have to set my VPN to US to see south park now. I was watching south park last night, it's still on there in spanish, all the seasons
Thank you very much.
If you have a VPN, you can set yourself in Spain, Mexico or France and all Pluto TV channels will be in French or spanish. You can do this with other platforms as well. Prime video will not let you do this. I think Netflix will, as well as Disney plus. I'm in the US.
@@Tony1771-yj8mcwhats the best vpn to use for viewing shows?
Watching movies with subtitles for foreign languages is just the best way of study and improving. I use immersive translate to generate the subtitles.
The thing is listening to native speakers in real casual conversation . Forget watching lessons , its the worst way to start
When watching shows to learn Spanish, do you think it’s better to have English subtitles or should I turn on Spanish subtitles? I have been learning for about 4 months now. And I can work through a show with Spanish subtitles but it’s still really hard.
Versuch Lingopie - da hast du gleichzeitig spanische und englische Untertitel
You should turn off subtitles. Just like when watching a foreign film with English subtitles and never learning a new language having subtitles on will cause you til read instead of listen which is a substantially harder skill. Besides there are no subtitles in real life. I recommend watching a show you already have seen so you get the context
definitely stick with the spanish subs. Only resort to the english after trying the spanish first. Also if you watch stuff you've already seen in english before it helps a lot. And make sure the subs match the words exactly in whatever you watch
@@TheLanguageLion thanks for responding! I will do that. I found language reactor helps when a show’s audio does not subs match the subs.
I'm sorry for my question man, but Where did you buy those headphones?
my ex girlfriend got them for me. They were not name brand, she probably either ordered them from amazon or ali express maybe. But I wish I could remember the brand and I wish I still had them. The mic sounded awesome.
Thanks again. So appreciated.
Your presentation is so natural, as well as the information provided. Thanks so much.
thanks :)
Realmente tienes un muy buen español para solo llevar un año, keep going man!!
Muchas gracias. He mejorado muchísimo desde que hice este video
You have tandem bro?
no
@@TheLanguageLion great app bro to practice they have a feature called party you talk to many different people like a conference
Honestly, Duo Lingo is quite benevolent when it comes to errors. I am using it to learn French. It will give you a pass if you happen to flip some letters or forget to add accents. Heck, it never bothers about the French accents at all. I use another app from my employer, Speex. That one is terrible as you always have to put the accents perfectly. In French, there can be an "e" with two types of dashes. You have to put them 100% correctly, otherwise no pass! Why care about such details when my French level is A2. I freaking hate this Speex.
My lazy way of learning languages is also through RUclips and Netflix. I use Immersive Translate to generate subtitles and watch my shows and movies this way. It’s been a great experience so far and I highly recommend it.
There are a lot of Pokemon short-story animations on RUclips that would probably also be good. I'm learning Japanese though, so I can't vouch for the quality of the Spanish dubs. But I would assume they're also good quality.
Awesome man! Good for you. Bien hecho.
Faith That Doesn’t Give Up She replied, ‘That’s true, Lord, but even dogs are allowed to eat the scraps that fall beneath their masters’ table.’ -Matthew 15:27 When the door slammed in her face, she just knocked on it. She pressed on and would not be discouraged. She would not take no for an answer. She was a Canaanite, and she was from the area of Tyre and Sidon, a region outside Israel where the enemies of the Jews lived. The problem was that her daughter was demon-possessed. Meanwhile, Jesus’ popularity had been growing. He had recently performed His most popular miracle to date, where he fed more than five thousand people. Then suddenly He left the country and went to Tyre and Sidon. Apparently, Jesus had an appointment with this Canaanite woman. She hadn’t grown up as a Jew, knowing the Scriptures. She certainly didn’t have the privilege of walking and talking with Jesus. In fact, she was a pagan. We don’t know how her daughter became demon-possessed, but it probably had something to do with false worship and idols in their home. This mother, disillusioned with these false gods, made her way to Jesus Christ, the one true God. She approached Him and cried out, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! For my daughter is possessed by a demon that torments her severely” (Matthew 15:22) However, Jesus didn’t respond to her cries, which seems curious. He made the long journey, apparently to meet with this woman. But when she went and asked for His help, He acted as though she wasn’t even there. He didn’t appear to care at all. Yet that wasn’t the case. Jesus knew this woman’s faith. And He knew that she would rise to the occasion. He was doing this so He could provide an example for His disciples. He wasn’t being flippant. Rather, He was drawing her out. The disciples, however, misinterpreted what He was doing and tried to send her away. Maybe she was creating a bit of a scene, and they were embarrassed. Finally, Jesus said to her, “I was sent only to help God’s lost sheep, the people of Israel” (verse 24) But she wouldn’t give up, and Jesus knew this. So He said, “It isn’t right to take food from the children and throw it to the dogs” (verse 26) With what little she knew about Jesus, she applied dramatic faith. We might even describe it as amazing faith, so much so that Jesus said, “Dear woman . . . your faith is great. Your request is granted” (verse 28) Clearly Jesus was an expert on faith. And He was saying, “Your faith is amazing to Me. It is a great faith.” He wanted the disciples to remember it. Thus, the Bible preserves this woman’s amazing story of faith for us as an example to follow. We often find faith in unlikely places. It is grace, not the place, that makes people believers. Sometimes, especially if we’ve been in a Christian environment for quite a while, we start taking things for granted. And the very place where our hearts should be transformed can be the very place where they become hardened.

Do you use dreaming Spanish?
I haven't used it but it sounds awesome
good stuff
I watch tv for a year straight and I’m called a “lazy bum”
hahaha
Greetings from Colombia thank u for the video I'm improving my english with your tips 👍🏿 I don't like to study grammar
Que aburrida es la gramática. Gracias. De nada :)
You can use "Language Reactor" extension.
Great video. May I ask where does your english accent comes from? like, from what region. I'm from Brazil and I started the same journey as you an year ago (but for english, of course), and there are a few accents I struggle a little bit to understand (London, MANCHESTER, Alabama...), but yours is easy asf, I can understand every single word you say. So if you don't mind, I wish I could know where your accent comes from. Thanks :) edit: There is also other accents I get as easily as yours (NY, CA, etc...) I dont know if those are accents, but I get 100% of what people from these regions say
Hahaha that makes sense since I grew up in NY state (not in the city which has it's own accent) and then I lived in CA for the 2nd half of my life. But no one can ever guess where my accent is from. A lot of people tell me that I speak with a bit of a southern accent. But the town that I grew up in in NY is very rural
@@TheLanguageLion You definitely have some Southern words, especially "have". I'm not a big accent expert but I'm well travelled and met people from many different parts of the US. Great video through! You could structure it better but the content is great!
People watch japanese anime for years and don't learn anything beyond some words in japanese. This is not the best way, not efficient, and the most time consuming. One can do it, but proper learning and active studying are the best method.
Agreed, I learned to say dattebayo! Eren iterasai, mate kudasai! domo!, watashi wa.. and I am mindful that this is useless. However, he still has a point. Listening for the most part of the time is hands down the best practice to learn a learn and we gotta combine it with deliberate studying practice . BTW he is right too about Duolingo, it's such waste of time.
Why just not study it properly without all these bs excuses?
