  • How to start learning a language?
    This is the question my friend and polyglot Luca Lampariello and I decided to discuss.
    Luca and I, are both polyglots but we have different ways of studying so it was interesting to see what we do differently and what we have in common.

      @som Slovaak...ah okay, I had a feeling this was what you meant. Because I am a victim 😢 I tried learning Tagalog and translated word by word. But now I’m confused with the verb conjugations which is complex. I’m slowly getting my head around it but it’s hard.

    • @PolyglotStories
      @PolyglotStories  4 года назад +23

      @som Slovaak You need translation at some point, if you're learning your first words how do you know what they mean without any translation? You're not supposed to translate in your mind while you're talking, that could become a "handicap" but using bidirectional translation as a tool to learn new words is something else.

      Luca, I would like to know what you think of the importance of learning or mastering our native language. I think we want too much from the foreign languages and forget our own. I personally think my language the best of all ;) Abraços de um brasileiro! Te amamos hehe!

      @@guilhermedaselva4046 I remember he said once that we have to use our mother tongue as well or else it would become rustic.
      I can relate to that because since I started to learn foreign languages I avoided using my native language at all, now I work with people who only speak my native language so that makes my task a little bit difficult since all things I learned (still learning) were in my L3 that is English, and translating through my L2 that is French, so my native language (Spanish) was not relevant, but now I have some trouble lol
      so I have to translate all I have learnt into my mother tongue in order for people to understand me, and be aware that some English/French words are difficult to translate into other languages without losing its accuracy, so you have to use like 4 words to only explain one lol
      ...
      the other point related with the importance of knowing our native language, well if you do know your native language well, or at least how it works(syntax) , so it will make your foreign language learning a lot easier, because you know how to identify patterns ;)

      Well, to me, there's a lot of perspectives. If you can maintain a conversation with native speakers with ease, understand 95% plus, you're fluent. To me, C1 is already fluent and C2 is more like a master level.
      If you won't spend a lot of time speaking in the target language, there's no real need to fully master it, y know?
      I try to maintain my language levels on C1 and if I need to travel or something like that, I study for a couple of weeks to upgrade again to C2 and I'm good.

    - Then i use teach yourself book to learn we have that in common ;) i go through it, i tried it for non asian languages and it works!
    Then i want to practice speaking and using and making sentences thats when i use italki sessions with tutors and i gain more vocab by talking or i get explanation for difficult concepts in the book...
    thats what works for me, bidirectional translation i heard it from online course by luca (it was great thank you) i still not used it but i will try in the future... thanks great video!

    Great ways of learning. I took Spanish in middle school, a friend got me into Korean dramas, and I'm teaching myself Thai. I have a photographic memory when it comes to movies and shows, so watching foreign films, TV, and RUclips videos (with subtitles when needed), and listening to podcasts, help me the best. I'll also use app as a more fun and relaxing way to learn as well. I love listening to music in the language too.

    I've been learning a language for six months now and I can honestly say that I have been improving rapidly. I'm terrible at multi-tasking so I can only focus on a single aspect at a time, which kind of makes it into a strength. At the beginning, I hone in on absorbing as much auditory input as I can so I have a feel of the sounds that native speakers make, whilst simultaneously incorporating speaking as much as possible. At the moment, I'm slowly creeping into a transition phase where I integrate some reading into my process of learning, but that's going to take some time.

    Its amazing how everyone learns a little bit differently than the next person. I totally get what you were saying at @12:30 minutes. For me I learn phrases better that I can learn a list of individual words. I also learn the language script in the beginning but I don't study writing in the beginning stages. I only practice speaking, listening and reading off of sight in the language. In the beginning if I start off with writing and grammar I get confused and it slows my progress.

    I personally think that it's logical to start a language at around New Year or on your birthday. That makes sense as these dates can serve as some sort of a countdown system and the date where you analyze all that you've managed to complete and set new goals for the upcoming year (and your personal year if count from your BD).

    Sou brasileiro e me identifiquei muito com esses métodos de aprendizado de idiomas. Eu aprendi a falar grego sozinho ouvindo rádios em online streaming durante o dia todo para me acostumar com o som do idioma, com isso adquiri gosto pela música e pela cultura pop mais contemporânea. Isso me fez traduzir palavra por palavra de todas as músicas que eu mais gostava. Ao ouvir a música sabendo o significado, o idioma passou a fazer sentido na minha mente, e aos poucos passei a compreender diálogos e a conseguir falar o idioma. Consegui aprender a falar grego, inglês, alemão desta maneira.
    Gostaria de saber a opinião de vocês sobre o aplicativo Duolingo.

    Hi, I hope you're doing well.
    You said that you immerse yourself in the target environment and you try to catch as many inputs as you can.
    I d like to know what is the tip you use to recall all what you learn automatically when it's needed so you sound native?
    How do you train your brain to build up sentences quickly and effortlessly?
    PI : when you're actually in a country where the target language is not regularly used and consequently you don't afford to meet someone to speak with.
    I'm asking you this because I feel that basically there is an unbalance between the outputs (speaking &writing) and if it's possible to regulate this disorder by your own.
    Thank you.

I have many friends in the same situation as me, we talk and understand well but we don't read or write. The best way is learning exchange, there are many website where you can meet a native Japanese who want learn other languages, so, get a book (online) to learn Japanese conversation, share with the Japanese friend , and study with a reference book. You do the same with him, teach your native language with reference book. You going to learn very fast, believe me.

I must admit, I am so bent on perfecting a languages that I am learning that I don’t know how to add additional languages to learn. I passed the DALF C2 for French in 2019 in France and have been concurrently leaning German and Thai. French has been so hard to maintain since I left France! Just passed the German Goethe Prüfung B2 about a month ago. My Thai is like upper beginner. Debating whether adding a new language would be too much at the moment or if it’s better to get an advanced level in German at least before adding another language.

    I follow a lot of the same methods as you guys. I definitely agree with the statement that very few people reach fluency in the classroom. I start by learning the sounds of the language and the sentence structure. I’ll use any similarities between the target language and languages I already know to help me remember the target language. My goal isn’t to learn all the words in the dictionary, it’s more to learn a good base. Then I learn more in the areas of my life I use most (work, hobbies, etc.). Then I use the good base as building blocks to learn more of the language. Another important thing is to start talking with NATIVE SPEAKERS as soon as possible.
