It's interesting to see how many people are subscribed to the channel vs the people who actually watch the videos. It really divides the people who are serious about language learning vs the people who just want the typical "polygot talks in 20 language" videos. I personally like those videos, but it's just interesting from a statistical standpoint.
@@AmoPerrosMás I'm guessing part of it is people aren't liking the videos witch raises a channel in the RUclips algorithm or haven't hit the bell notification, but mostly RUclips is instant gratification content anyway.
This is common on old channels, probably because of dead accounts. I subscribed here around 10 years ago. There's nothing more for me to learn here, I just like to hear what Steve is up to especially because I'm interested in learning Persian.
@@knmid I also subscribed 10 years ago. I was teenager and used to listen his videos to sleep because his voice was kinda great... And end up learning Japanese with his methods 😂
That is a great idea to have the Lingq tutors working with the students connecting with Lingq material. Italki tutors are too detached from us. We need the tutors that know Lingq and follow the same path
This sounds very much like the ideas laid out in Boris Shektman's book "How to improve your foreign language immediately". In said book Mr Shektman describes the notion of island islands, that is specific topics around which you build your ability to speak - aided by a native speaker. Steve, this seems to be exactly what you are proposing here. It sounds like an excellent plan. If you have not already read Mr Shektman's book, I highly recommend it. He goes on to explain how to link the islands together in conversation to able to talk about a wider range of issues as well as outlining other strategies to use in conversation in moments for instance where you are struggling with vocabulary and may want to guide the conversation back to familiar ground. I could definitely see the possibility for a template to be formed around LingQ lessons and tutors where content specific to the learner's interest is focused on to build an island along with the implementation of the other techniques in the book to begin to activate all the input previously received. I look forward to your further updates on how your plan is progressing.
Thank you for this video! This is right on time. I will start learning Persian soon, so these tips will come in handy 🙃Any recommendations on how to learn the writing system, i.e. what resource to use?
Although I'm only at a B2 level in my target language, I have to agree with Steve about the journey from a B2 to C1 level. I'm at the stage where I can read and listen fairly comfortably, so my journey is a lot more comfortable in comparison to my journey from a B1 to B2 level which was always a struggle.
@@camnguyen1910TV Lots of immersion. I committed to 1 - 1.5 hours a day of immersion every day, and it probably took me about 18 months to move from a B1 to B2 level. I also committed to listening to podcasts in my target language whenever I was doing exercise. It's an old saying, but you only get out what you put in.
@@camnguyen1910TV I agree. The main task is to read and listen enough to build up vocabulary and understanding of the language. This takes a long time, but it’s worth it. I already did this with Chinese and now I’m trying to do it with Vietnamese, although it’s a slow process.
Thank you Steve, I´m a LingQ user and I have quit Farsi for the moment. The biggest difficulty I faced was the lack of audio for Farsi. LingQ mini-stories are recorded but it´s impossible to check the audio of any word using google, since it, unfortunately, doesn´t support Farsi. I always wondered how you overcame that obstacle and in this video, you answered part of my doubts, you ask your tutor to make recordings for you and also use a transcribing service. The irregularity of the writing system and the absence of many vowels makes it difficult to guess the pronunciation of many words.
We now do have text to speech for Farsi but the quality is poor. Hopefully we can get a better Farsi TTS service in the future. I use sentence mode for content that has good time stamped audio like www.lingq.com/en/learn/fa/web/library
Hi, Steve! Just a tip from a professional translator: DeepL is a much better tool for language conversion than Google Translate. In fact, many translators use DeepL to pre-translate texts, then they just proofread them. I don't go that far unless I have a very simple text, but still - DeepL is a very nice tool :)
As an amateur translator, I agree, that one is an accurate translator I use a lot and it also contains several languages to work with. Btw, how did you land that Job...I'd like to work as a professional translator.
Hi, I'm begannier at Japanese and after afew months I feel lost, I think I need a guider.. Is there a community for those who are learning Japanese via LingQ?
Hi Steve, I'm a huge fan and you've really been an inspiration to me to continue on to my third language (portuguese) and my fourth language (french). I know my channel is much smaller, but I'm just gonna shoot my shot and ask if you would every be interested in an interview style collaboration. Thanks for all your videos!!
Hi Jeff, I have a limited number of collaborations and do turn a lot of people down. I wish you the very best, however. It takes a long time to build up a following but you just have to persevere. Steve

Wikipedia has been a gamechanger for me, and a way to keep it simple. Im doing an article a day to bridge the long gap from A2/B1 to B2

Keep in mind that colloquial spoken Persian is a bit different from what you learn from books

I would argue that economics vocabulary is C1 if not C2 level vocabulary right?
I don’t mean to be argumentative, but isn’t this new effort a violation of Steve Krashen’s maximum that you can’t speak your way to fluency?
Although I'm only at a B2 level in my target language, I have to agree with Steve about the journey from a B2 to C1 level. I'm at the stage where I can read and listen fairly comfortably, so my journey is a lot more comfortable in comparison to my journey from a B1 to B2 level which was always a struggle.
I am at the stage of B1 level in English language, you can give me some advice to overcome this stage. I actually appriciate it

@@Thelinguist Wow, that’s great news! I didn’t know it, thanks for the reply Steve and good luck with Farsi!
It seems to me that the weakness of LingQ is the lack of audio to accompany the imported text. Do I have that right?

Who know how many language this man speak? This is amazing

What's 1397-1401? I'm guessing those are years, but in which calendar? (I don't know Persian, but I know the numerals and most of the letters.)
Those numbers belong to Persian calendar, In most of the countries that speak Persian the criterion calendar is Persian calendar
Hi, I am a native persian and i can help you if you want.
موفق باشی
I'm not sure I would understand the language I'm around "economics" in my native language. Lol.
Iran International is a great resource for Persian language too
No thanks don't mention that kossher here
If you wanna learn persian i can help you, It's my first language :) بهرحال درخدمتم
Everyone let's call it Farsi thanks love ya
Arabic language is more important than persian to learn.why you don't focus more in arabic?
