Muy de acuerdo con todo lo que has dicho. Solo añadiría en cuanto al vocabulario, que lo mejor para mí es que se vayan poniendo las palabras nuevas en los márgenes a la altura en la que aparecen en los textos y además un vocabulario total por orden alfabético al final del libro en el que ponga en qué lección o página apareció por primera vez. De esta manera cuando vuelve a aparecer una palabra que has olvidado, puedes buscarla al final del libro e ir a buscar en la lección en la que apareció en primer lugar, verla en el contexto en la que la aprendiste por primera vez y así recordarla mucho mejor. Por supuesto, una versión digital del libro también permitiría hacer esa búsqueda.
@@PaleoalexPicturesLtd me too. I am searching for the old books cause i think that the app is terrible and i like books where i can write and feel its texture
I agree so much. Good beginner friendly textbooks are hard to find for the rarer languages. Example sentences showing the same concept over and over again, I also like.
Hey there Steve congrats🎉🎉🎉 on this session love the advice on having more examples in textbooks , maybe linQ could team up with text book starter publishers keep up the amazing work kind regards Mr Robinson
I don’t think the TY Complete or Routledge Colloquial series is bad but I really hate how they have so much English in the audio tracks. Sometimes the English is more than the foreign language. This has driven me to Assimil, which has a clear advantage in having target language-only audio, and doesn’t waste your time.
Last week at Expolingua in Berlin the Yunus Emre enstitüsü was also represented and now I’m glad to not have delved into them! Anyways, Assimil is very helpful for me and my Arabic studies (B2/C1), however to each his own!

Thanks. Teach yourself is a bit too small for me. Font size. Font size is really important for me also, esp. korean, but also for normal books. I like paper books more than digital books and learning with videos, but the font is often too small or weird/not easy readable. And of course there is no audio inside.
Steve, so many of these overview books are loaded with errors, typos, and dated examples. Do you have to learn the same content (or kinds of content) from more than one source to know it's accurate? I have the same concern about shared flashcard decks.
I quit learning english , i have been learning english since three years but there are a lot of things i could not do , no matter i listen to or read , i got stock in a begginer level , and my speaking is like a A1 , i feel so disappointed :C.
No digas eso. No desanimes. Si te resuelta dificil hablar es por falta de vocabulário. Abre ChatGPT y pidele para que cree 40 frases en ingles con la traducción en espanol en el nivel a2. Lea todas las frases. Escuche ChatGPT hablando las frases. Despues pidele mas 40 frases. Le libros bilingues de cuentos en inglés. Todo dia abre un sitio de noticias en ingles, escoge una sola noticia y la leas. Traduce todas las palabras desconocidas. Haz eso por 1 mes y cuentame el resultado.
@@ChristoChristo03estas consumiendo contenido en inglés? Lo más importante es encontrar contenido a un nivel que entiendas y que también te interese, así es como vas a retener el idioma. No te desesperes. Si pudiste aprender español puedes aprender inglés, lo prometo.
Así es! Para mí, aprendaba español por mas que 10 años. A veces, aún me siento frustración, porque no entiendo todos o no se una palabra. Pero yo me recuerdo: es algo nuevo. No puedes entender o hacer algo nuevo sin errores o situaciones difíciles. Es como un bebé que esta empezando andar. Buena suerte y no dejas a pasar tiempo con la lenguaje, leyendo libros, escuchando musica en ingles. Mejorará poco a poco 👍🏾
Using textbooks in class leads to passive learning. Textbooks should ONLY be used for self study, NOT in the classroom. I am a language teacher and I refuse to use textbooks.
I understand the desire for translations, but want to say to any potential Arabic enthusiasts that I firmly believe that *transliterated* text anywhere in an Arabic textbook is extremely bad. There's a reason for the normal script to be the way it is, virtually no native speakers of Arabic will be proficient in writing in transliterated Latin characters, and not only will reliance on this as a crutch harm your progress speed, it may even lead you astray. Numerous sounds in Arabic (ش، ث) can only be represented in familiar Latin script as two separate letters (sh, th) but you can also easily run into the equivalents of these two letters in Arabic in sequence (سه، ته) and you won't know which one it is unless you look at the source. Similarly there are many sounds that have no equivalent in Latin letters at all (ح، ق، ع) and are usually represented by a capital letter, a familiar letter but pronounced in a way that isn't familiar, or a new character you've likely never seen before and is also pronounced in a way that isn't familiar (H, q, ʿ). If you're learning a new writing system anyway, why not just learn the one that works for all cases as intended and the one that everyone you will be speaking to already uses, instead of a secret code that works only most of the time, with effort, and no native speakers would choose to use first? I never struggled greatly with the script, and I'm not sure why, so I don't know firsthand the challenge. But I still empathize because we all have that one thing when learning another language that's just tough for some reason. But I strongly, strongly advise not cutting this corner. The "shortcut" is not worth it and you really do need this piece of the puzzle, if you're planning to read or write anything at all. Don't look for, and do not use, transliterated Arabic textbooks.
If you’re a genuine polyglot, you are a genius. I don’t know why this is controversial. Almost no adults in the USA learn a 2nd language as adult. I know more people who play professional sports than the former.
@@jonathanm5446 that’s part of it. The bigger part of it is natural ability. Steve calls this ‘ability to notice things.’ Key word ABILITY. I don’t give a toss how motivated you are, you’re not going to learn multiple languages without superior understanding. After childhood, this is an almost entirely intellectual persuit. There are virtually zero stupid people that learned multiple languages as an adult.

All of my children who I have,feed them what you recommend is resultantly beneficial for learning languages
That you have , I am sorry that you do not have all your children
I have had many language learning textbooks over the years. I feel Assimil is far and away the absolute best!
Assimil and 90 leçons en 90 jours series
Too sad that they discontinued most of the english (mother language) books and have a terrible app now for them...
I want the books back
Parisian here. I have developed a bad habit of buying any old Assimil textbook I can possibly get my hands on x)

Hello Steve how's it's going? Good weekend for you .
Polskim pan śmiga jak ta lala( to może być trudny idiom :) ). No, według znajomości słów.
I was wondering, will Lingq have kurmanji Kurdish in the near future? Also does anybody know of any additional resources that teach kurmanji kurdish?
Voce tem algum bom livro que você recomenda para aprender inglês?
Tothik malo tufa ka lomi. Aka kopala matha pa ola gastu. Igla maka bino?
Can anyone recomend a good french textbook?

In lingq I want to see my known words instead of that coins i dont know what their are fir 😭
Can anyone please recommend something for German (with these patterns he discussed)? TY
Olly Richards books are probably very usefull for a beginner and intermediate level.
Nicos Weg by Deutsche Welle seems to be very popular.
Steve, what's the German book you show in the video. The one talking about old coins. It looks very interesting to me!!!
I would like to know this too!
Book is titled,
Im Wandel der Jahre
Your Chinese textbooks look much older than my elementary school Chinese textbooks 😂

It's motivation and persistence, not intelligence that determines people's learning tendencies.
