Hey, I'd be interesting in reading your book and reviewing it on my channel if you have complimentary copies available :).
Ikenna can you give us some tips on how to ig I guess block out a language and focus one at a time or the ones you use the most.Because I’m learning Italian so I can speak to my mother’s side of the family I already speak one romantic language Romanian, I been so use to watching French movies RUclipsrs like bilal Hassani and sulivan gwed and Sunday Jules, mademoiselle Gloria, spark dise, alix gavoille, and more that I can sing ROI by bilal Hassani but can’t remember the word for bathroom in Italian, it like I need to be cleared of French and turn my room and brain into little Italy

I just bought the book today... I’m halfway through it. This has been something I needed. I need to refine my Spanish. After that I will choose another language. Unlike you though, I’ve known early that languages could be a thing for me. I was surrounded by Spanish speakers at a young age; I was raised in central Florida. So, thank you for this!
Instead of learning the language, I learn how to learn the language.

i am not so sure abou... wait there's a new ikena video out! *binges the entirity of RUclips*
When I come round to trying to learn I will have made my technique so efficient that I just learn how to say "Beans" in every language and extrapolate the entire language from that in 3 minutes.
Not me, I'm immersed in the language all day long

@@twistedpivoter2695 Thank you, It's all I know lol
@@Aaron-zd1ws if you want to know.... Us frenchies have a tendancy to struggle AS F* in orthography (for this generation at least) and we all have a phenomenon called "flemme" that happens when we're tired and that makes us don't want to do anything and procrastinate like no other human being on earth. And because of this a lot of french guys and girls have litteraly no skills in orthography....

Excuse me sir, did you just roast Ni Hao Kai-Lan?
Ayleen Fierro I was thinking the same thing, and I’m not happy about it
Ni Hao Kai-lan is the queen of my childhood
which consisted only of chinese and filipino speaking
I literally used to watch her in spanish back in Cuba i never learned Chinese yet. I'm learning japanese right now as my 3rd language, planning on learning chinese later so let's see how it goes.
Ohhh mann I remember that show!! So long ago.
Lucas Bustillo Wow, I’m also learning Japanese right now. I would watch the show in Mexico as a child, weird coincidence in language knowledge lol. Best wishes!
I personally think that people should deconstruct a language by using their own language and finding all the equivalents and then learning how to use your study language as if it were your own. For example, find out all the pronouns, all adjectives, then find the 20 most common verbs, top 100 every day objects and places, and get basic sentence structure/grammar rules in the study language and make flash cards and study them. Then after hearing music or video's in your study language you will start learning from them 10X faster because you actually KNOW what words are being spoken in the tv and music. I don't believe in learning a language RAW (as in learning it like a baby does). NO matter how much NOISE you hear in the study language, if you don't know what they are saying, you are making very slow progress at best to learn the language. That's why it takes babies 4-5 years to talk despite full immersion in the language 24/7. Turning NOISE into Knowledge is not as effective as building a language blueprint and filling it in like a puzzle.
Dude this is actually a good advice, thanks!
Wrong. You learn faster if you disconnect your native language to the language you're trying to learn. Think of equivalents in the same language just different, simpler words
owen2760 I don’t know dude, what he said makes a lotta sense
S S a lot of things work in practice and not in reality :)
Agreed. We have the advantage of knowing a language first so use it for your specific needs while studying the whole language in general.
My mother came from serbia to germany without any knowledge of the german language, she learned german by interacting with people and watching TV. She's working as a translator/interpreter today without ever having seen a language school from the inside and judges always ask for her when they need someone for the serbian language, even though there's quite a few others.
Svaka čast za tvoju majku.

How is Serbian? Is it like one United language, or a group of dialects? And would you say it's hard to learn?
@@avzarathustra6164 It has a few similiarities with other slavic languages. Other than that? No idea, never took a deep dive into the language, which i definitely regret. If you have no problems pronouncing 3 consonants in a row (Krk for example, an island in croatia) then you wont have a hard time with speaking. Theres also 3 or 4 kinds of 's' sounds which can be hard to grasp, but grammar is actually pretty hard according to my mom. Grammar is something i never understood tho, neither german or english. so again: no idea bout that :x
If you wanna know some specific stuff i can try to ask my mom about it, may be a good opportunity to get better at the language myself xD
@@XploitedEuter oh lol! I'm sorry, I assumed you were fluent XD! Serbian isn't really mentioned that much compared to Russian, so it's interesting to talk about.

If you know multiple languages you can put the subtitles in that language to practice 2 LANGUAGES AT ONCE. 🤗🤗🤗
Zyanna Jones you mean like I’m watching a korean drama subbed with chinese for example:0 I should try lol
I tried doing that with spanish subtitles Korean dramas, but I was finding myself focusing on translating the Spanish 🤷🏽♀️ ..I feel like my Spanish would probably improve
Unfortunately, even though I know multiple languages I can only read English.
That's what I'm doing now. I'm watching series with Portuguese audio and English subtitles, because there are no subtitles in my native language. It helped a lot, because I found a lot of words that are very simular in the 2 languages so it's easier to recognise them.

Great advice! My 6 year-old son is a big fan of Yokai Watch. He wanted to watch newer episodes, so I started playing the subbed version for him and reading the subtitles aloud. I'm very surprised at how much I have learned!
I learned English only from RUclips videos and tv shows/films + some books down the road. It’s probably not good as only way of learning but I think it worked out for me. Some study of grammar and stuff like that would be probably good to top it of but I don’t like textbooks. Right now I would like to Learn Japanese and I will probably try it in similar way. First I would like to learn hiragana and katakana so I can read subtitles and then watch some good shows with Japanese subs + I got Pimsleurs Japanese so I can have some basics before I start watching. Great video.
Fantastic video Ikenna. You are so articulate and passionate about learning languages and have given me some great tips in my quest to improve my German. Vielen Dank!
I watch your videos more than actually learning a language 😂

Just for the newbies, he's saying の which is the sound "no". Which is basically saying no in English. In Japanese no would be iie いいえ although!
OMG I’m so thankful for you telling me about the viki thing. It should be really helpful for my chinese learning journey!!
Woo just bought your book! And I'm so glad someone else feels TV shows are a great way to absorb language
Before the video started, I got the ad for your book.
It was meant to be.
If you wanna learn a language, watch something which is basically in the language you wanna learn. I mean if you wanna learn French, watch french shows, not English shows translated in French, because the translation isn't always good and you can't notice every joke or something else specific to the language you wanna learn.
The problem is looking for shows that interests you 😂 Like you really have to dig deep
Well, let's watch Jojo.
i agree. i do find that for the language i’m learning (norwegian) it’s hard to find movies or series that interest me, but i definitely agree
@@em-vo4ml there is this Norwegian show called skam. Check it out. Its really good!

NANI😲⚠ I've been taking classes to learn japanese... I've learned more about Japanese from the original dragon ball.
Now that I'm thinking of it, the og dragon ball was really linguistically simple. I watched it in English, and never saw words difficult for people learning English.
So I started serious self studying korean last year and I have sort of discovered these techniques naturally. Though everyone finds different methods more effective than others, I have found that daily immersion in multiple forms and mediums really helpful. Even when I fall off of my formal studying in my books or audio/video lessons..I find my Korean is still improving steadily just by taking in so much Korean content on a daily basis. I am ACTIVELY watching/ listening though but I think even subconsciously hearing the language as often as possible tunes your ear to pick up even more of it more easily.
Thanks so much for the tip on the Viki site! I have been using youtube for most of my content watching (there is a lot of great content to enjoy while studying) but this site will help A LOT!
i just bought your book on impulse..... you motivate me so much to get back on tracksp
Watch a movie you're very familiar with, in the dub of the language you want to learn, with english subtitles. Like, I know the whole script to The Fast and The Furious off by heart, so what if I watch it in another language? Because I know what's going on and what they should be saying in English, but instead comparing it with the other language. So you're learning like "Ok, so this phrase is said like this in this language", etc.
Genius.
It would be great to hear you talk about how much time you think someone should spend learning grammatical rules and stuff. I'm not a fan of it, but obviously it it's place, in moderation.
Thank you for your practical advice and for sharing with others your life's experiences. Very inspiring.
Whatsup Ikenna I really love your content honestly I was going through had time learning language thanks to you language learning is fun
Bro watch "Destinos" it's an educational telenovela from the 90's, it's free on the internet, super entertaining and helpful.
Watching television totally works! Since my dad watched anime I pretty much got into it when I was 5 ;) so now I actually know a lot of Japanese.
Your channel is so helpful thank you I’m currently learning to fluently speak Spanish & your tips really help me
Just got the book bro I’m pretty excited 😆
My personal method of learning French with video media is mostly through short youtube videos. The process is not necessarily the same as what Ikenna mentioned about Tv series as they are generally longer and contain multiple episodes or seasons. Since the youtube videos I watch are shorter, I can watch them multiple times.
When I started out as a beginner, I watch the video repeatedly with my native languages (I'm bilingual, so either work). The important part is to be interested in the content to the point where you subconsciously start to mumble or mouth certain lines from the video.
Moving forward as an intermediate, I did a similar method of watching the video with French subtitles or no subtitles at all, as Ikenna said in his video. However, again due to the short nature of RUclips videos, I would watch the video once without subs, once with French subs, then one final time with English subs to make sure I understood everything. I then go back to the French sub to check for any words that I didn't know previously and try to figure out the meaning based on context and my knowledge from the English subs. I find this quite effective for me.
Hope this can serve some help for people who are trying to learn from RUclips.
Cette méthode a l'air effective. Félicitations d'apprendre le français !
Hehe.. sums up the video with one word for me

Omg I just found your channel and your already one of my favourite youtubers this is also realy inspiring because I love learning languages and want to learn more
So glad I found this channel
I got into kpop and kdramas In January of 2020 - so it’s been over a year now since I’ve been hearing the Korean language like daily. I had no intention in actually learning Korean and honestly I’m still not seriously learning it but I generally pick up things (especially languages) pretty fast. So even I have noticed that I can make full sentences in Korean now, just by watching and listening to Korean ppl speak. (Obviously im not a pro lol) but if I can learn without even tryin that hard - you can definitely do it!! believe me, like if you actually pay attention - you’ll for sure be able to get to atleast a late beginner stage or something! So good luck to everyone trying to learn a language :)

I recommend using RUclips once you've passed the subtitles stage of watching things. Most native content in Spanish doesn't have subtitles so that kind of sucks haha but there are channels where there are subtitles available.
And... Which spanish ytbers do you watch? 👀

True this! A lot of my friends from non English speaking countries confirmed this. Nice video dear.
I remember i made language video last year.
I don’t think you can learn a language from zero just by watching a TV show. I am watching animes for 6 years now and cannot speak Japanese at all. But I do think that TV shows are a good source of learning a language if you are actually learning the language with books or in a school, then you can practice your hearing comprehension and pick up new words. That’s how I learned english, was learning English in school and watched lots of tv shows to improve it but learning a language just with a TV show? Nahh
thats what i said in video, never let tv be the only way to learn, it's a supplement
i learned english that way, i didnt watch TV but i've watched youtube. i also started to read books after a while. i never used subtitles and i talked english by myself everyday. i never had to open a grammar book.
TV shows also help with learning the usage context of a word.
Nah... I don't think so... I learned English and German just by watching tv and nothing else... It wouldn't make sense from a evolutionary perspective to not be able to learn a language just by listening... What if one day you get stranded in a land where you don't know their language? The body would have to have a safe plan for that.... And that is being able to learn a language just by listening.
at 4:00 he said that
3:58 Actually it is possible to learn a language with jus watching TV. For a person that’s already fed up with school studying I know that I’d never be motivated enough to learn a language by studying it. It prolly will take a long ass time but it is possible. I’m Saudi Arabian so my first language is Arabic and considering the fact that Arabic is a pretty difficult and different language it’s kinda hard to learn any other languages. But I’ve always watched RUclips videos and movies n stuff for years and now I can speak English fluently. Now I’m switching into learning French so wish me luck:)
Please give me tips :)
Good luck! Btw, do you have recommendations of arab youtubers?
I can confirm that the Ebook is actually helpful and works. I've spent the last one to two years trying to learn Japanese and I didn't know where to start or what to do at first, I didn't think learning languages was for me, and I kept making excuses and wasted a lot of time. Since after those one to two years I could barely speak a few sentences let alone watching anime without subtitle. But after I got the Ebook and now 6 to 7 months later of following the instructions and techniques in it, I'm now able to speak Japanese at a upper-intermediate level and can watch a whole anime and other Japanese TV shows with no subtitle. I've even went to Japan for about 1 to 3 weeks and communicated very easily with the people there, made a whole bunch of friend, and explored the country and culture more in depth. I can go as far as to say that this Ebook has now changed my life and my perspective on learning languages.
Is not impossible, all it takes is time and patience and dedicate yourself to the language you ACTUALLY want to learn. Don't just learn it because you HAVE too, learn it because you WANT too or else you'll get nowhere no matter if you use the Ebook, other websites, tutors, etc.. I dedicated myself to learning Japanese because I wanted too, personally it was Japanese anime that made me want to learn Japanese. Since I'm a Otaku and anime, manga, and light novel has always been my sole interest in entertainment and career in the future (like working in a animation studio, or for Yen Press, voice acting role for a anime, etc..). So without the inspiration and dedication you probably shouldn't try to learn it.
I watch your channel to improve my English. Thanks so much for your videos!

After years of watching anime and playing Japanese game my Japanese level sort of stuck at a stage where I can watch Japanese kid shows without subtitles but can’t make any conversations with a Japanese person.
So to be honest I’m thinking about buying your book now. Haha. I’ve only watch 2 of your videos and they were very helpful. I downloaded the apps that you suggested and they are awesome. I also just started using the Viki site and it’s amazing. Besides that I’m using the talk to me in Korean work books. Thank you for your suggestions and I will continue watching your videos!
thank you man that is so helpful i really want to improve my listening skills in english and frensh and strengthening my vocabulary
You're the reason I'm learning Russiannnnn!

update?
Could you tell what you think of the Fluent Forever App, It's quite new contain similar methods to what's on your book, just wanted to know your take on it?!
Great advice re: TV shows. I did a lot of this in the beginning learning Korean. I had the advantage of living in the country so I could easily go out and practice daily. I started out watching mostly half hour shows that I was interested in like restaurant reviews and cooking shows. Luckily, the shows were very formulaic and a lot of repetitive vocabulary with video graphics shown on screen. The visuals of Korean food made it super interesting as well because I knew what to order and ask for when I ate out which was nearly every day. Made learning memorable, delicious, and personally interesting.
Congrats on learning Korean!
I love Viki!!! Trying to focus on Spanish first but so addicted to Asian culture. I love the period and costume shows!
