Just in a couple of years you have already made a transition from an English teacher to a popularizer of cognitive and linguistical researches and then even further to an inspirational coach. Your videos provoke (at least in me) deep thoughts. I'm very pleasantly surprised by the speed of your progress. I wonder how far you'll advance in another 5 or ten years. Good luck to your efforts in educating people. It is one of the most useful works in our world.
Hello, Christian! It was a huge delight to listen to your new daily digest! From the bottom of my heart I want to thank you for your tremendous efforts and dedication! First and foremost I'd like to highlight the most important things in all of your videos: you are mostly trying not to teach something but to teach how to learn in principle. Your videos are about inspiration, about motivation and it's sheer wonderful! The true teacher will first of all do everything to inspire students, to burn the internal flame of thirst for learning, for self-development. And you carry it out at the highest level. Besides your simple, lighthearted and in-depth in the same time way of teaching just can't left anyone indifferent. I recollected one brilliant movie which is called ''Dead poets society''. From the first class of yours you've become My Captain! By the way the more I watched this digest the more I recollected the movie ''Arrival''. Highly recommend you to watch it in case if you haven't done so! Would like to wish you family peace and coziness! Your son is definitely lucky to have such a great man and father! :) P.S. noice use of ''on earth'' ;D Best regards, Aleksei
In my opinion the author of that language didn't create a language without verbs, she just left only two of them: to be and to have/has. And then divided those two verbs into four "relationals", as she called them. Therefore it's not a non-verb language, it's just a verb-reduced form of it. But I might be wrong :)
I really appreciate longer version of the video. All of your Daily Digest videos are great, but sometimes I was quite sad that time was out and your beautiful and meaningful thoughts didn't have enough time to be develop deeply. Thank you for this innovation! Thank you for this topic. Have a nice day :-)
Hi Christian, today's lesson has initiated me to see some things from another point of view, thank you very much, Jarmila. I missed your Daily Digest very much for your way of thinking, your amusing way of teaching us and your "The Best Day of The Week." :-) .
First view...XD It'd be nice if you left your sources of information in the description. I'd really love to have access to those fantastic papers you talk about on your shows.
There is very simple, clear and logical language. It is Esperanto. Just look at this rule: every noun has "o" in the end; every adjective has "a" in the end; every adverb has "e" in the end. I think everyone, after reading this rule, can translate phrases like - "interesa filmo", "angla kulturo", "brazila festivalo'.
It’s better to know how to communicate your point of view even you make some mistakes! That’s very important so you can be in the middle of the conversation! Now I’m trying to get mine achievements in English culture. Thks Christian
Hi Christian 🙋🏼♀️ Awesome , thanks a lot 🌹 I’ve cherry picking your words “ you’ll never be successful at learning language unless you spend time understanding the culture “ 👍🏻 😍
I really missed your philosophical videos. It's really help us dive deeper in understanding the language. I think that's quite rare to find in teaching English or other languages. I mean I haven't came across something similar in the same level of depth. Best of luck to you
there is a movie Arrival (2016) about this topic. It is about a linguist who is trying to understand an alien's language. And at the end it comes that language is not only abstract symbols or sounds
Karl Dedecius - a Polish-born German translator from russian and polish, once wrote, that learning a new language means entering a different world, into a new reality ...
Yo, Christian, love you and what you do. You are amazing. This video made me think of Arrival, a movie about the first contact. Have you seen it? The movie, not aliens, thou if you have seen them, that's amazing, please tell us about it :D In the video you're literally talking about how aliens would comprehend a human language, well, Arrival is all about that, kind of. And the significance of experiencing the culture of the language you learn plays a major role in there. It'd be great to hear your opinion about the movie. Once again, thanks for what you're doing. It's just so a w e s o m e :)
Dear Christian, as I mention before, I agree completely with your conclusion that learning a language start with understanding that a language is only a vehicle for a culture. You made a great story to come to that point however I'm missing something: we are so used to consider a language as something that is spoken but how about deaf people? They don't care how you pronounce Ï like shopping"...and what about deaf aliens? They might have developed very good eyes so they can communicate from a long distance and they also have a set of eyes where we have our ears... Your theory is leaning a lot on sound based communication....can you hold the same enthusiast speech without sound? Of course you can...nevertheless, when you have no sound you will develop your language in another direction with other laws and other grammar.... Which is a topic I'm interested in for the moment, however not related to deaf people.... In different cultures people develop their language in a different way, they adapt it to the situation...is all very interesting.
@@Canguroenglish what I find so interesting is that during our first three year we learn to distinguish the sounds needed for our mother tongue and eventually other languages we hear. But then the next years our mirror neurons helps us to understand the relation between sound, meaning and face expression, I think this is maybe the most important part of learning a language.... it is in fact the conclusion you made at the end. In many courses they have pronunciation exercises... focused on the sound (and not of the spoken language but of the read-aloud language). But I would say that they only learn to pronounce the words well, to understand the real meaning we have to be able to understand the face expression that goes with the sound.
If aliens came to the earth , we need to understand there concepts and perspective of looking to things and how they are thinking. Really not just words its also action you cannot understand what foreign speakers says without see there action and understanding there perspectives for life "there culture". Welcome back Christian .
Another thing about alien language that always trips me up is that we assume their language is auditory like ours. What if they communicate by emitting different wavelengths at each other? Would we have to communicate with them by using an x-ray machine? What if they can see in the microwave spectrum and communicate through sight? What if they don't have language? They are telepathic and can just feel each other? Sorry everyone for the long tangent its just that this topic always blows my mind and hurts my small brain
Gives verbs a different name (relationals) and claims it doesn't use verbs... lol, amazing video tho! I just think that conlang doesn't do a good at supporting the video's message
You áre VERY crazy, how can i understand the animal language? I need to be lovely, polite, loyal, honest, intelligent, like animal. What do you THINK? Christian!

You don't know how much your comment means to me...
You are very welcome. You deserve every bit of it. Good persons need to know that people around them notice and value their efforts.
My Teacher is back! I'm so happy! I missed you so much.
I missed you too!
"As many languages you know, as many times you are a human being", now it makes sense even more after watching this video

Inspirational video Christian. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You are my best youtuber, my teacher and my friend.
First view...XD

My best teacher! I learn so much with you... Thanks Christian
Your teaching is so emotional and motivational
Languages are just a way to transport ideas. Ideas change the world.
Amazing. Thank you Christian.
one of the best things that i've ever heard, from the minute 15:50 until 16:55

You are becoming more and more a philosopher.

Awesome , thanks a lot 🌹
I’ve cherry picking your words “ you’ll never be successful at learning language unless you spend time understanding the culture “ 👍🏻 😍
Thank you so much teacher I got some great things ☺️👍👍
Thank you very much!
Really a philosophical video, Christian

Truly one of your best videos.... rocked my mind.... Amazingly motivational, sir.
there is a movie Arrival (2016) about this topic.
It is about a linguist who is trying to understand an alien's language.
And at the end it comes that language is not only abstract symbols or sounds
English is only language which manipulated itself with culture influences of different countries.thanks for this lesson.
Thanks for the video, it's awesome Christian!
THANKYOU GREETINGS from México
Hi,Christian in the course of your academical linguistic exposition I lost my gravity but in the end I landed on the Earth being agreed with you .
Thank you for this video. It was very interesting and made me thinking. Sorry for my mistakes, if they are here.
Hello Christian, I like your philosophy.

It's really interesting to look at sign language and other non-verbal types of communication! I'll be talking about that tomorrow!

I like very much this teacher. your history.
the cat in the bag 🤣
What about 'Solresol" - an artificial language which has words turned into music?
I see a language as an ability to generalize in philosophical way.
Now, translate Hamlet's question to Kēlen:
"To be, or not to be, that is the question."
I can't do it because I don't know the language, but it can be done. The point is that you understand the concept from the Kelen point of view!
Hi teacher. I every day think why the languages has a lot of words in the same meaning. Why we can't use the common words and abandoned the rest.
I've always been wondering which type of information my dog gets from smelling for so long a tree, a dog or a person.
It must be wonderful!
How to spell kalem?

It would be funny to see how people would try to interact with aliens If they came on earth
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien, I'm an Australian in Spain

There's a way to understand dogs' languages: just look in their eyes.
Why you don't speak with a 'straya' accent?
I haven't lived there for 20 years.
@@Canguroenglish Thanks! You have a very nice accent, easy to understand, clear. Sometimes I do some 'shadowing' with your videos.
You áre VERY crazy, how can i understand the animal language? I need to be lovely, polite, loyal, honest, intelligent, like animal. What do you THINK? Christian!
It's not about emotions, it's about the culture. You would need to 'understand' being a dog...
You have been overthinking, you have been thinking INXS 🇦🇺.
How can we meisure the size of thinking.
The school of life 😆
Thank you so much!
