What's his secret. Being a polyglot or multilingual is a choice. It's not a big deal. I enjoy learning foreign language and I don't have a secret. We can't replicate talents, Steve. Do you know how does my brain work? I have no clue how does your brain work. Can you make someone who doesn't like learning languages to become an enthusiastic student who devotes time to learn a foreign language? Is there was a secret everyone would be a polyglot just like you? We are not all the same and that is the reality.
Steve, how could someone who is like the French foreign minister you described improve some of the pronunciation of the few words they don't get right?
Hi Steve, I hope you're doing great. I have an idea for you. I think it would be interesting if you used AI in LingQ. It could be very useful to have a section in LingQ to improve our speaking skills by talking with an AI and receiving feedback from it
Minute 17, about the importance of comprenhension in order to learn the language, it makes me remember this scene: ruclips.net/video/aVVURiaVgG8/видео.html
These are some great suggestions. I started learning German off and on about four years ago and at the time I didn’t have a lot of time to dedicate to it. At the moment, since I have more time, I’ve been drastically increasing my input of the language, and I’ve seen a noticeable difference.
I did the same. I learned exactly 5,219 words in Dutch the hard way by actively encoding them in a very short time because it was a 200-day challenge, about 2 hours a day. Then I switched to passive learning to give myself more context for these words. Active learning is extremely effective for acquiring knowledge, and passive learning is great for retrieval. Combine these two wisely.

"Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery." (Amy Chua) The most important thing is to understand and be understood. The accent is just a detail that shows how brave we are to learn another language!
I just dont understand why people always want to "speak like a native". Our accent is our identity. Learn the language, express your ideas correctly and that's it.
Agree. For me the most important thing should be to be able to understand and be understood in order to communicate and connect to people. Accent is just a detail. And it is part of our identity indeed. Let’s not worry about it too much, guys ✌🏼
I'm an American at something like a B1- or B2-level in Spanish, Russian, and German. One of my favorite techniques is to listen to target-language videos with English subtitles. I read ahead and then mentally translate into the target language, and so, by anticipating the audio, I'm able to understand something like 95%, instead of maybe 60% without subtitles.
Some advocate doing all 4 language skills at same time when choose to study any 1. For example, in addition, to also transcribe target language dialogue while reading subtitles then speak sections of dialogue simultaneous =!to shadow sequential .=‘? etc.all 4 language skills use at same time.
@samaval9920 I did a variation of that, until I read a neuroscience article arguing that it is more effective to listen for at least four seconds before attempting to repeat, rather than listening and speaking simultaneously.
I'm enjoying both of your interviews Steve and Luca. It's so interesting observing my experience with pronunciation over the years. I still struggle with getting and feeling the rhythm, cadence etc with my Irish, and yet one of the things that really helped me with Russian was having fun w fellow students mimicking our professors at a summer immersion program and trying to trick English speakers by putting on a thick Russian accent. 😂
I listened carefully to the presentation about Artificial Intelligence and shared my thoughts with my friends in the English WhatsApp group. I told them that relying solely on AI to speak another language in the future would be like using an exoskeleton to walk: if we do this, our muscles will weaken. Similarly, our brains will also deteriorate if we only speak our own language and let AI translate for others to understand us.
My current goal in language learning is that by 18, I know 2 languages fluently and 2 quite well. English (my first) and Italian for fluent, and Latin and Ancient Greek for the others. I am currently studying Latin. After this, I will get to Italian, then once I master that I move on to Ancient Greek.
@ I’m going through the henle first year Latin book and tripling down of flashcards. I also plan to get some other books like the aenid bilingual version and I like to listen to and read things in Latin. People speaking in it is amazing. There was this video of a guy describing a river and the visual cues along with the words really helped.
I do think that minimizing your accent is important. Not that you don’t embrace your identity, but you make it easier for the person you trying to communicate to. For example, I have elderly patients who may not have a lot of exposure to people outside of the United States, and when they have a caregiver or provider who speaks with a thick accent, it’s very distressing to them because they simply can’t understand what is being said. You add to that difficulty hearing and diminished vision and it just makes communication that much more challenging. If you have a message worth hearing, make it understandable to the best of your ability. Remove as many obstacles for the listener to hear what you are trying to communicate.
Steve + Luca. I ❤ u. - both. Somos do Brasil, mas mudámo-nos para a Alemanha em 5/2024 para oferecer melhor educação à nossa Tochter (7Jahre) die bereits 4 Sprachen versteht/spricht und nun auf eine Europäische Schule geht. Auf spielerische Weise bereite ich sie schon auf Italienisch und Spanisch vor. Stiamo cercando una famiglia italiana per Pasqua, dove nostra figlia possa conoscere la bellissima lingua italiana! 😉
my goal is to learn 5 languages near to native level, because i think after that number, i wont be as proficient as i would wanna be. Bulgarian is my native language, and i already know engliish and german. Currently learning spanish!
@@bhami No actually, i think with some practice and language immersion i can achieve b1 in Russian with no problem. We have many similar words, but the problem is that Bulgarian lost most of its cases, while Russian still has them. So the grammar is a bit tricky, but i dont think it will be that hard. At the moment im not learning russian, because its hard for me to focus in more than 1 language. But in the future who knows!
@37:12 Talkpal also has a really good AI that asks questions BASICALLY agreat conversation, like if you say you like tennis for example or working out, it follows up with natural questions. I'm really impressed by it, doing a free trial now.
But how do you listen and read? Like grassroots you’ve decided to learn a new language how do you build your word vocabulary to understand the listening and reading?
I don't know how anyone could get as good as native speaker in more then 3 languages I would think. Four at the most. Here is why I think that way. I will give you three words, Vaccum Cleaner, Pacifier (as in baby pacifier), and cork screw (what you open a wine bottle with). All three of those words are not the most common words. But almost all native speakers would know them if they exist in that language. To me getting all the words like pacifier and vaccum cleaner my head would explode. There are tons on nouns!
There are gifted people who, upon hearing a piece of music only once, are able to reproduce it on an instrument. Can it be that Luca is simply an exceptionally gifted language learner to whom languages come easy? The rest of us have to slog our way through, and maybe that's just the way it is.
Tedious for whom? I love translating, it’s a creative process since it involves a lot of transformations and you need to master your own native language to be able to do it well. Also, it may be a good method for someone with a high verbal IQ simply because such people already have a knack for thinking very explicitly and thoughtfully about their word choices so it makes sense to use - good, idiomatic - translations as a learning aid
Do you think it would be possible with the help of AI or whatever, to transcribe the Persian language into a Latin alphabet, to be used only as a tool for speakers of languages with Latin alphabets to acquire easier speaking and listening comprehension? Is there maybe someone already doing something like that?
@Thelinguist I have asked to chatgpt and It says that exist a standar latin alfabet for persa, arabic and many other languages, with this proporse. Would be amazing to have this posibility implemented on Lingq. Then, maybe many people would be interested to learn speak arabic and even read in the latin alfabet 🙂

Ive noticed the pronunciation thing with my name. I dont speak french but i can say “my name is _______” and my name starts with a j and it unconsciously turns to a french j when i say it in french lmao
i agree ai is the devil and will destroy society that said it is 100% amazing for people who are self starting learners. you can go down so many rabbit holes, like string theory, and the ai will gently walk you through anything you need help on for starting all the way up to advanced equations. obviously if used with a motivated user chatgpt is like a very bright and intelligent language coach. ai is not the business revolution people think it is imho but as a pedagogic self learning tool its amazing.
The same applies to the Slavic languages, and if you know one of them, you will understand the others more easily. For the sake of comparison, Czech and Slovak separated from each other only a few hundred years ago, and today's New Latin languages are also 1,000-1,500 years ago they became independent from each other.
Luca, like everyone with a C2 level and good pronunciation, still does make mistakes that make him sound like a foreginer, you just have to listen to him talk for a while. The way he pronounces "accent" 12:47 sounds more like the German word "akzent" for example.
Communication doesn't require perfection, regardless of your level. Further learning a foreign language after adolescence makes it almost impossible to sound and speak like a native.
I'm sick of these self-proclaimed RUclips 'polyglots'. Speaking three totally unrelated (eg English, Arabic and Japanese) to C1-C2 level is *far* harder than speaking 15-20 related languages at A or B level.
That's true but so what? Also I'm pretty sure Luca speaks the languages he names at B2 level or above (so the second part of your comment shouldn't be aimed at him). It's not like there is a language god in grading folks. If a person any person wants to learn Spanish, French and Romanian so what? Are you learning languages to prove something? Or someone learns, Korean and Chinese so what?

Is there maybe someone already doing something like that?
AI can do that but I wonder if the service is available anywhere.
@Thelinguist I have asked to chatgpt and It says that exist a standar latin alfabet for persa, arabic and many other languages, with this proporse. Would be amazing to have this posibility implemented on Lingq. Then, maybe many people would be interested to learn speak arabic and even read in the latin alfabet 🙂

En persa, "سلام" (que significa "hola") podría romanizarse como salaam. Esto permite a los estudiantes entender que la palabra se pronuncia aproximadamente como "salaam" sin necesidad de conocer las letras persas.
Limitaciones de la romanización
Imprecisión fonética: Algunos sonidos del persa no tienen equivalentes exactos en el alfabeto latino, por lo que se usan aproximaciones.
Dependencia: Puede dificultar la transición al aprendizaje del alfabeto persa, que es esencial para una comprensión completa del idioma.
Implementación práctica
1. Escuchar y leer simultáneamente: Proveer textos romanizados junto con grabaciones en persa ayuda a entrenar la asociación entre sonido y significado.
2. Simplificar transcripciones fonéticas: Usar un sistema consistente y fácil de entender para evitar confusiones (ejemplo: longitudes de vocales, sonidos guturales).
3. Progresión hacia el alfabeto persa: A medida que los estudiantes adquieren confianza, pueden ir aprendiendo el alfabeto persa.
