I went to Chinese restaurant in Ciudad de México. The son of the owner told me that he never studies Chinese, only watches Chinese drama everyday.
Mad respect. Everytime i listen to your advice am i am impressed to see how dedicated and passionate you are and your willingness to help the language community lots of love 🇰🇪
This is a very interesting video! I havr recognized several such cases of how acquisition happens exactly through applying the target language in topics we are actually interested in, and how when we hear a certain word unexpectedly in a very clear context we memorize it way better
Hi Zoe! Your Persian vlog with your friend at her house is soooooo good...I watch it regularly again and again! Please make more vlogs like that, not necessarily in Iran! It really helped me in my Persian!❤❤
Your tips and advices are so valuable for me, lovely Zoe. You are my superhero ❤❤❤
The best RUclips video I've ever seen! Much-appreciated, Zoe! You're great! Огромное спасибо! ❤️
話し方が、惚れ惚れするほど綺麗。
Great intro and I recently checked through your channel again and I must say congratulations on the growth. Keep up the good work
Amazing compilation of existent content and new clear ideas added on top of it! Love it!

Zoe thank you very much for sharing your content. This was really helpful.
I agree that acquisition or learning a language through immersion is way faster and easier than studying it. I'm Egyptian, but I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia. I attended an international school, and there were a lot more foreign students and teachers than Arabs. We had a strict rule to speak only in English so students who have different native languages wouldn't feel left out amongst Arab students. Since I started school a year and a half earlier than usual, it was pretty difficult for me to abide by that rule at first, but in less than a year, I was already able to speak English fluently even though I wasn't that great at reading or writing in English. Later on, when I was in 3rd grade, I could already read and write in English due to the fact that I studied all subjects in English. Even now, I'm only 15 and I'm already at level C1 in English.
Also, I recently started to learn Korean, and I found it really easy which is to be expected considering I've been a Kpop and Kdrama fan for almost 8 years now and was already exposed to the language. I could already read and write in korean and the pronunciation is pretty easy. The only thing that I study in korean is basically grammar while adding a few words to my vocabulary every day. It will definitely take a long time before I become fluent but hopefully, I'll achieve that soon.
Wowwww you are doing great!!

Wow, you are amazing!! Your progress inspire me to make something similar, but the only problem that I have now is that I live in a latin country. But, as the youtuber said, someone can create it own method and strategy to acquired the language and no necessary learn the language.
Amazing!
For a polyglot’s journey along the Korean language road, watch some of videos of Ms. Lindie Botes.

You have done a tremendous work, thank you for sharing darling
Zoe, you inspired me to learn new languages. I am a Chinese born and raised in SEA and don't know how to speak Chinese because neither of my parents speak Chinese. Right now, I am learning Chinese and pronunciation is a little bit challenging for me. Anyways, as a self-learner, your channel greatly helped me out with getting started my Chinese language journey. So, 谢谢 Zoe!
加油！I am Chinese and I am learning English
We got a Chinatown near downtown. I’d say go there and speak with the locals, hope it goes well bro 😎
Do you plan to learn several SE China dialects
that are spoken in SE Asia--Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew, Hakka, Hainan, Hujiu (Fuzhou), plus “Mandarin” ?
Du bist ein magischer Mensch! Ich habe noch nie jemanden getroffen, der in irgendeinem Bereich so talentiert ist, geschweige denn in der Linguistik. Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu allem und weiter so!!! 💐💖
Danke schön 🥰
Thank you so much Zoe ❤
I am really inspired you that why I started to learn more and more language everyday ...I want to learn most language. that you topic on your all vedios ..thank you for helping me to ingaged me of knowing like another language ...it is very amazing performance to learn words and phrases every single day .

I love your videos Zoe.Can you make videos about learning Turkish and Persian please!
Currently learning Chinese, though not as seriously due to lack of time, but I’m either listening to Chinese music or watching Chinese dramas, this is a kind of immersion, it does help with learning the language
listen wayv!
我自己听中文音乐，有的都听不清

Right! real life speaking can help!
that's how I started to learn the Cyrillic alphabet a year ago, not by "studying" but by having "the curiousity" when seeing it. I mostly learn Russian by studying, but also I gather information from other things. I like to read, then translate. This made me go to an advanced level in speaking and reading and now I understand so many phrases. Watching movies or videos about speaking the language can enhance your accent and vocabulary.
Thank you for sharing
I want to learn cyrillic alphabet too, many resources or advaces? i feel that i don't do a avance with it :(
@@bluepou The Cyrillic alphabet is made up of 31 letter (in Russian). You can learn it for a month, everyday learn a letter, that's what I did. It also have some letters derived from English but has a different pronunciation, such as "н" is pronounced "n" or "в" is "v", or "р" is "r". So it's a bit hard at first not to read it in English pronunciation but you can get used to it. You can search for "Russian letters to English".
Hi! I've been learning the Cyrillic alphabet for 3 weeks, for that I'm using something fun and unusual: the Moscow metro map (it's written in Cyrillic and in "normal") I don't understand all the words but most are proper nouns and there's plenty to practice! 😄

I've just fast-tracked a few of your videos and I find each one very inspiring (btw, Noam Chomsky is my go-to guy when it comes to to geo-politics).
Children's learning is sponge-like - whatever you throw at them is absorbed.
I have a wonderful friend I met while studying at University of Cambridge. She's from Portugal and has a Chinese mother and a Portuguese father so is fluent in both Chinese and Portuguese. She's also fluent in English. These kinds of examples always amaze me!
Imagine a world where children are pumped full of more pertinent knowledge according to their wishes rather than being trained as future corporate robots?
Regarding acquisition, I have an agreement with my local Chinese restaurant - I wash up dishes 3 evenings per week in exchange for language exchange. One of the guys speaks Cantonese so not so helpful 🤣
A very useful and informative video
Before I used to think how did I learn languages in the past and now it seems clear that the main reason why I have some fluency in some of the languages is due to immersion. I used to learn some grammar and vocabulary but at the same time applied them when writing comments and speaking to myself to fully learn them. For example, I learned French by not just knowing basic grammar but watched cartoons, videos and read a little bit of texts ( I also spoke to a native speaker at school but it didn't really help and soon I realised that I can improve in a language naturally without speaking to anyone) and gradually I just somehow managed to naturally comprehend the knowledge that I had through reading and listening. Given that I aced my communication skills through these strategies I find myself to use this language comfortably in my daily life as if I'm already immersed. Recently, I changed the language settings on my laptop to French and through this I immersed myself a little bit more and can understand whatever I read. When many say that during language learning you should listen to podcasts, have books and resources for learning grammar and vocabulary, I did none of that and since I only learned through extensive comprehensible input that enhanced my immersion I had no clear structure of learning foreign languages, which is why I had some difficulty understanding how I learnt 3 European languages.
Perfect tips Zoe❤
I am from Argentina 🇦🇷 and my mother language it's spanish...and for me it's difficult the English language.But it's easy learn Chinese language and that I do not understand it.
Its really nice to see Zoe address Krashen's ideas and interests. Its pretty clear to anyone who has travelled much that many, many people learn additional languages to a very high degree without formal learning. The best Chinese speaker of English I ever met was in a remote town in northern China in the 1990's. He'd never left the town, but had spent 20 years listening to the BBC world service for 2 hours every night (yes, he did have a perfect BBC accent). But a key point that is often overlooked is that the method you use to learn a language doesn't determine the speed of learning - it determines how your language will 'sound' to a native. Learn through textbooks and you'll always have a stiff sounding language (unless you actively 'unlearn' and then learn again). Learn through constant reading and you'll pronounce words oddly. Learn through watching soap operas and you'll talk like a soap opera actor. This is why I disagree with Zoe about implicitly leaving immersion to intermediate level. In fact, focusing on early immersion is the best way to ensure your most advanced level will sound smoother and more 'natural' to natives. It is a difficult thing to do, but if you search hard enough there is plenty of acquisition material out there for beginners. An example would be cijapanese(.com) for learning Japanese. The Japanese academic Beniko Mason has done a lot of work on this, her website is a good source of information.
Joe I'm from India, i like your videos. Would you publish a book which will help us to quickly learn all the languages in a single book. Pdf format please send me the full details of
@@usmanbagawan8213 I am interested too
I am interested too if you can .
Do you offer private lessons?
Thank you
I agree, learners should try immersing as early as they can. I've been trying to learn Japanese for a few years now (although there are times when I stopped learning but eventually came back to it) and I'm still at a point where I can only understand super short sentences. I think the main thing that slowed my progress was that I wanted to be "ready" for the immersion phase. I felt that I had to go through hundreds of grammar videos before I could start immersing. It was only until I came across this other video where it said do a bit of grammar, then immerse already, just search up the grammar if you find anything confusing. I think what I should've done from the start is learn the core structure then immerse already. In my case, I'm learning japanese, so what I needed to know is that the core of every japanese sentence is something like this:
[Noun]が [Noun]です
[Noun]が [Adjective]です
or
[Noun]を [Verb]
and then everything else is just a variation of these where there's more information about the noun, where does the verb takes place, the verb changes to past tense, something gets omitted because of casual speech, etc.
Then with that information I could've started immersing already, searching up words or grammar as I go. As for kanji, don't get fixated on learning the kanji already. Use a pop up dictionary as many times as you need (if you're reading) and if you're watching just search the meaning. You'll be searching the same word multiple times anyway. Eventually you'll remember the kanji. But if you find learning kanji fun, by all means do that. What's important is to engage in the language as much as you can, while also making sure you don't burnout.
Edit: typo
Your dialog,is very very clearly.i watching your video every day.trima kasih banyak
Great reminder
Its the best vidon I watched recently ❤
Hey Zoe, I really love your videos, just keep going. By the way, regarding learning Engl;ish, what do ytou think of some tests and exercises practice like CAE or CPE tests, have ever tried those tests and do you highly recommend doing those tests. I am in the level B2 and I have been working hard to advance my level to C1 and C2 for quite a long time and my teacher in the class assign a lot of CAE and CPE reading practice. I have to say I learn a lot of phrases and vocabularies from them, but i doubt the credibility of the exercises themselves, I mean gap filling and multiple choice, etc.
It's true the immersion, I know by beforehand because I happened to me when I went on holidays to the UK, according to my friend my English improved by leaps and bounds the time I spent with her and friends moving around and just talking. I clearly remembered when one day I realized that I was only thinking in English as well as my thoughts.
Amazing video!
All the best for your small and big success in your future.
I am an Arab and I am trying to learn the English language and I learned a lot of words, but the difficulty is when a foreign person speaks quickly, I could not understand any word, but I will do my best to learn it well
You should listen to natural speaking speed to adabt to it
أنت عربي ومن سوريا
For me, it was important to study a little about pronunciation in English. That helps me not just to understand pronunciation in English, but in my native language too. You need to understand the linking pronunciation between words in a speech, that letters can have more than a sound/phoneme in pronunciation. I suggest you look for the channel Rachel's English. It's a very nice channel here in youtube about USA pronunciation.
@@cccprod1238 😂😂!!
@Blackred00. Yeah I have been watching Linguamarina since 3 ½ years and now I can speak lil' bit Fluent English
Also her English is easy to understand
When I started learning Arabic, I'd listen to the now defunct BBC Arabic language radio, as if it was music. This definately served to normalize the language to my brain, that is, the language stopped sounding foreing and exotic and stared to sound natural, even if I didn't know many of the words.
how far have you learn arabic? i've started 6 months ago but still struggling, any advice?
@@it.s_boo What dialect do you learn?
@@mohaimenwaleed12 idk mukalla? there's a lot outsider dialect here so it's a bit mixed up
@@it.s_boo I can help you
What is your language?
@itsboo7021 I've been learning for about 4 and a half years. The begging is the hardest part, you have to familiarize with many foreign concepts, but the key is to go on and increasingly the language will organically be assimilated by your brain. Try to learn the word patterns (vocalizations), it is a great help to make sense of the language.
Professora eu amo os seu vídeos!! Eu tenho o prazer e a necessidade de aprender outros idiomas e atualmente estudo o Japonês, Mandarim, Árabe, o Coreano e o Alemão. Recentemente vou comecar a estudar o Vietnamita e o Indonésio. De todos o mais difícil é o japonês e é o que tenho mais contato e imersão, tenho feito progresso mas, muito lento. Agora o Mandarim e o Árabe são muito fáceis de se aprender, pelo menos para mim. E o idioma Alemão é que eu estou mais avançado e é o idioma que mais amo!! Aí fica registrado que quando se ama a língua vc aprende mais rápido e é verdade!! Eu desejo muito aprender o Japonês mas ainda não identifiquei o porquê da dificuldade. Muito obrigado e continue seu belo trabalho!! By Rogerio Moraes from Brazil 🇧🇷
O japonês tem a pronúncia mais fácil de todas e a gramática não é tão difícil assim, também estudo japonês no começo parecia impossível, agora estudou fazendo o shadowing que é algo como "sombreamento" é você repetir o que os nativos estão falando, através de vídeo. Essa técnica ajuda muito a destravar na fala e melhorara a escuta, estou fazendo isso porque eu estava travado no japonês. Se você não conhece essa técnica, ela tem um vídeo nesse canal mostrando como fazer, super recomendo que vc faça.
Muito bom cara
@@i.h1233 Muito obrigado pela dica!! Interessante que eu já faço isso, inclusive minha playlist de músicas salvas são de japonês e vivo cantando mas, a dificuldade continua não sei o porquê. Mas agradeço mesmo!!

ممنون برای زیرنویس فارسی!❤😍خیلی زیبا توضیح میدید
@Blackred00.
Yesssss ! We Iranians can learn Arabic more easily than foreigners. Because we have the same letters and the only difference between Arabic and Persian letters is that Persian has four more letters than Arabic.These letters:گ ژ پ چ Iranians can read Arabic words and sentences easily and they just cannot translate them easily. It is interesting to know that Iranian students study Arabic in school for nine years and learn Arabic grammar and various verbs. But due to incorrect teaching, students only have the ability to translate and cannot speak Arabic easily. And I have to say that as an Iranian student in Iran, most Iranian students don't like Arabic class. But I like this language. ❤️

Best intro ever!
Affective Filter Hypothesis, Stephen Krashen : Emotional factors such as anxiety, motivation and self-confidence can significantly impact language acquisition.
Immersion works best when you are starting a language you love enjoying its content as if it were a form of entertainment.
Thank you so much
a very good video ZOE .immerse in the language is the best way to reach your goal . practice every single day talking to yourself and repeating what you have learned it works well to remember all the words you learned. reading listening practicing input but I think is not enough you should practice output is most important it helps you to improve your speaking skill .Richard
I agree with every word you've just said
I hope more people can learn Chinese to get comprehensive firsthand information about China and seek more job opportunities.
Chinese is not that difficult to learn as many people imagine. Chinese primary school pupils can easily learn 3000 characters, which cover 99 percent of Chinese characters in newspapers and books.
I’ve spent lots of time in making many videos teaching Chinese in a humorous way. I hope somebody can give me some advice about how I can reach my target audience who want to learn Chinese.
Well thank you very much

Hey Zoe I just stumble on your channel. I have been living in states for more than a decade but still not so much fluent in my communication skill. How did you achieve the fluency in multiple languages. This language barrier is really effecting my life.
That's a really interesting video...speaking of Arabic learning, I read that many schools in the Levant region have adopted the GPA method...do you know it and what is your opinion about it?
Olá, Zoe, tenha um ótimo dia, sou teu fã, abraços do Brasil!!!

Personally for me, immersion become easier if that language is similar with language that i already know or at least have similar sound.

I’m learning Latvian. Not much resources online which is unfortunate. I wish less popular languages had more resources because people like me are very interested in them.
I am from Germany. 2:25 My wife is from Türkiye and I had lived there for 5 years. Only then I could learn Turkish through immersion, because I wanted to understand what my work colleagues are talking about and talk in the native language and not English. It worked well for talking but it took a long time until I got a good level also in writing. The latter probably also because I just reverted to English if it got more complicated as everyone I wrote to usually also knew English.
In any case it is more fun than studying.
wow. I almost guessed you would bring Stephen Krashen to this topic
