    You should do a full video on the subject investigation on why students don't learn a language in school often. I have seen how discouraging it can be for people, who are doubtful of their ability to learn a language because of a failed school experience.

      This problem is worst in public schools, where people of the nationality, Spanish for example, will simply act like they don't know any Spanish. Even though they are obviously of a Spanish family. Can make it feel like you are worlds behind everyone else, when really, you're just not native.
      Many problems with it..

      I took Spanish from 4th grade to 9th grade in school. Was great at learning vocabulary, but couldn't figure out grammar to save my life. I always had to as my Spanish speaking friends for help or advice. I feel like school just teach you vocabulary but don't go in depth with grammar.

      @@arealgoodguy I'm usually an outlier but for me, I learn a language well if I attack Grammar first. I'll learn vocabulary along the way but because I'm familiar with grammar I'm able to make up sentences correctly on my own. I also comprehend why something says what it says.

      From my experience and that of others, “Fear” is the number one obstacle that people encounter when learning a language. Fear of being mocked, fear of failing tests or quizzes, fear of being categorized for not reaching a certain level. Classroom environments are terrible because they don’t cater each individual’s pace for learning a language. A class may stimulate several students to learn but at the end of the day is up to each person to decide if they want to pursue that language further.
      If I taught a language at a school I would not test or quiz my students.

    If you have a genuine interest you will learn naturally. At school I was made to learn French for 3 years but I retained almost nothing because I was not interested at that time. I'm still not interested in French but I am good with Spanish and English which I wanted to learn.

      Another problem with public schools, I'm quite well aware.
      I must've taken 5 Spanish classes in my 13 years of schooling, but I just couldn't find interest. I just acted interested, to be fair.
      I really didn't want to learn it. But then, another language class became available, and I DID find interest, thank goodness..

    I love this video. I'm no instructor, but a lot of the points here are exactly how I've acquired my languages and continue to improve. He's onto great material. Gotta second the input on Duolingo as well, I use it as a practice app for pronunciation or sentence building, but it's not enough. I reached A2 Spanish in high school and B1 Spanish after from Duolingo and TV. Being a US Native we have a wealth of Mexican TV that I can draw from to understand and immerse while getting my practice out of the way with Duolingo. German was similar, but I supplemented with DW's German courses, etymology dictionaries, and Simon Roper's videos on Old English. Videos like these are great for getting beginners excited about acquiring new languages. A great watch.

    Extensive listening is also really good for learning and maintaining languages... Polyglot Beats here on youtube is great for bilingual stories where they read one sentence in English, then re-read the same in target language (their playlist section has over 20 languages)... I listen while walking and driving - you need to get the language in you!! The more exposure the better 😊

    RUclips is an incredible source for language learning - I recently found a French guy who does 15 minute reviews of most movies in cinema, so for movies that you’ve seen a few times it’s especially good as you can guesstimate what they’re gonna be talking about beforehand.

    I am an introverted person and it was very difficult for me to work up the courage to talk to people in my target language.
    What helped me start was having some pre planned ice-breaker sentences and any responses to common questions I’d receive so I didn’t panic, and from there build out my vocab based on places I got caught up in the conversation.
    I still struggle to initiate the conversation several years later, but I do it almost every time now because I know from experience people will almost always respond in a very positive way. The rush of nervousness and the payoff of making the other person happy makes my day so much better and motivates me to learn more.
    Now I see it as the key to bypassing my own introvertedness, and i can make friends via this method that I wouldn’t have otherwise.
    I’ve had people introduce me to their families and gained overseas contacts for business that i never would have otherwise had.

    I've found music (singing, not just listening - start with just listening tho) really helps with pronunciation. Maybe being musically gifted is a requirement, I dunno, but songs really help me catch onto nuances I wouldn't normally hear or be able to produce. And having noticed (and reproduced) them in songs, it's easier to then transfer this awareness/skill to speech. Look for text-based songs, with clear pronunciation, and look up the lyrics too. As a beginner you should avoid anything where the instruments overpower the vocals, or anything too fast to follow along. It also makes a bigger impact if you listen to music /a lot/ and know the song by heart. Look for different singers/bands though, so you get used to different accents and voices. I've found it really helps. As always I recommend a variety of input and methods rather than hyperfocusing on one. Songs are great, but that doesn't mean you should avoid movies, books, linguistic theory, etc. The more different methods you use, the faster you will improve and retaining will be easier.

    Even though I was interested in Spanish, I didn’t do it because of the potential negative effect on my GPA. And because it was a coin flip between two very different teachers. When colleges only see the final results, unless the written letters are stellar? Yeah.
    Regardless of starting later, the way the educational system is set up undermines the ability to take risks and learning something new by design.

    I've been trying to learn Spanish for years. A decade, honestly longer. Duolingo seemed to work really well when I did a lot of repeating old lessons and slowly adding in new lessons. Being an adult with children and a busy life, I do like.. 1-5 lessons a day, usually just one, almost always repeats.
    Meanwhile my brother has been fluent for twenty years.
    Sometimes you need to put in more time, but sometimes I really think some people just don't pick up languages as well.
    This isn't because Duolingo doesn't work. I leaned using Duo, and then practiced at work with coworkers. I went to South America (ten years ago) for my brother's wedding and I was able to order food, ask for directions, tell people about my family, even write my best man speech in Spanish. I had a friend proof read my speech.
    My brother uses Duolingo. He's fluent in Spanish, he's learning Italian, Esperanto, Portuguese, and I think something else. He's simply able to devot more time to learning and practicing.

    I don't like learning from music cuz the words are often drowned by instruments, special effects, etc, and a lot of times unusual vocabulary and syntax is used to make it rhyme or sound catchy. I've mistaken a lot of lyrics in my own native language because of this, though, there are good songs out there from which to learn.

    • @willyb7353
      @willyb7353 5 дней назад +1

      Lack of willpower? Well, pardon me for assuming, but perhaps you have a busy life, I know of many people who can't put much time into activities like learning, because of how much they travel, or how much they are at work. My advice, if you are struggling to balance learning time with other activity, take it slow, and start very easy, stick to those languages that are related to your native language. Pacing is always important, and it's okay for grammar to be a bit murky of a subject for a while, you just gotta build up to it. Like pre-algebra to calculus, just learn vocabulary first, casual greetings and such.. Then move on to reading basic books if you can, nowadays you can even buy audio-books online.

      It all works out eventually, but it's definitely time consuming, language learning. Math is a good analogy in my opinion, because I've seen mathematics presented in a way that I can understand, but when it gets complicated, I give up. Mainly because I never cared enough to search for proper resources or reference. It can help to find a learning attitude, and in your case, there's 2 languages of study that are related to your native. So, as long as you find purpose in learning one language at least to a decent reading level and coherent conversation, that's impressive in itself.
      Something to be proud of, but it takes time, testing, and plenty errors to go along with it all. Even if you don't get it 100% at first, stay encouraged. It can be a heck of a hill to climb, language learning...
