I'm fluent in four languages (it was even five languages when I was younger but I forgot that one), and I would love to learn many more. But sadly I just don't have enough time and energy to dive into this world, so I gave up. 😔
I hope you can get back into it
I apologize for the spelling error "repitition" instead of "repetition." Thank you for your support, and we assure you that I and my editing team will be more careful regarding such matters in our future videos.
Hello Tim. The two words you have written have the exact same spelling.
That's an awesome video, thank you so much for your valuable sharing! I am extremely inspired by your life, and you have always the mentor that I follow. ❤️
Thank you Dieu, I appreciate that very much.
Your videos are great! You inspire me! 🇧🇷
Muito obrigado
Hi, Im seeing this video late but seeing many comments being skeptical I want to help revalidate. I have dreamt in multiple languages (1x bilingual native, 2x intermediate levels and 1x beginner), and often feel like I can speak better and understand more in dreams, possibly because they are being guided by myself. I also wake up and remember enough full conversation directly from the dream to know and understand that I have definitely spoken the language more correctly and fluidly in the dream than I would be able to in real life. I notice is it is almost always fluent, and when it isn't, or my dream lacks the word to continue in the target language, the next part of the dream is often conveyed otherwise, in a seemingly logical continuation (sometimes the language switches to fill in for the unexplained gaps, especially for closely related languages, notably italian - > french). Being immersed daily in a language certainly enables us to dream in that language.
Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. I see I am not the only one :-)
You are incredibly talented and your ability to learn so many languages is astounding. Not only do you understand the grammatical intricacies of each language, but always form coherent and interesting sentences during conversations, and even dream in different languages! I can only express my admiration, good luck from France.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
I can hear a crow in background..it's so rare. Lovely video.. I wish to dream in spanish as I too have vivid dreams at times
It was filmed at Lakeside Phokara with farms nearly... thanks for your interest 🙂 👍 great to have vivid dreams
I just woke up and I was dreaming that I met very mysterious people that didn't speak my native language in a very mysterious place (I just spoke English with one of them. I am improving my English). Then I found that among my YT notifications was your one "Mastering new languages through dreaming". I checked it and yeah, you uploaded it more than 16 hours ago. So my conclusion is that while I don't remember it now, I subconsciously saw the notification before going to sleep, thought about it and my mind created it inspired by your idea and possibly by the imagery of some of your videos where there are a lot of different clothes, architecture, etc. that look very mysterious to me (although I didn't watch any of your videos in a very long time). Fascinating stuff.
I watched this video on my way too. Interesting, listening to your experience, especially now that I did it too.
Have a good day.
That is so interesting, thank you so much for sharing.
Awesome, Tim! Thanks so much for sharing. I really appreciate it.
Thanks do much Bud. Are you still on the Philippines?
@@polyglotdreams After 12 years in the Philippines, my wife and I have started a new chapter in our lives. We've moved in with our adult children in San Diego, California. This is going to be my home base, for travelling. Best wishes, Tim. Hopefully, we'll cross paths in the future. I really enjoy following your adventures and linguistic pursuits. Abrazos, Bud.
Thanks so much, I love how you jumped in immediately about your intensive study program for folks who may not know about them, but can now look them up. Languages can be easy for some, and absolutely a struggle for others. I know how hard some try though, and that's such a great thing!!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for reaching out with the comment. I think when someone has a strong reason to learn a language, it helps immensely overcoming the challenges.
Thanks Tim for the video. Great to hear again about your exploits. I had forgotten you were a lucid dreamer. Hi, from a RUclips anon, who was one your many Polyglot Gathering pals. Back then I was deeper part of the early era of the RUclips/Polyglot gatherings. I must go back and look again at your excellent videos and papers from then. Vielen Dank.
I am heading to the Polyglot Gathering today
That is really cool, I didnt know about lucid dream until i watched your video, I'll try to practice it, hopefully i can control my dream too, it would be so much fun!! Thank you.
I'm really interested not only on learning languages but also about lucid dreams i have had a few and it's awesome! So you gained a new subscriptor here. Thanks. I have had some dreams in english too, and it's an incredible sensation.. It's like your brain gives you the ultimate proof of it assimilating, incorporating the new language.. so that mean you have done your inmersion strong enough to create the subconscious need on your brain to really use the language even in not a full conscious state
That's awesome! Yes, when you dream in a language you are learning you feel as if you have arrived to a new level.
Sir!
Bring on these videos in bigger numbers. Motivating
Thanks for your encouragement. I am working hard on developing the channel, and I appreciate your support.
I have lucid dreams with flying too. I also dream in different languages. I had a dream recently where I asked the person in my dream to change languages because I couldn't understand them. I find that I go through phases when I dream a lot and other times I don't remember my dreams.
That is very interesting. I love the feeling of freedom when I fly in my dreams.
Fascinating! I've always wanted to learn several languages so that I can communicate and get to know people in their own language. However, I've been crap at languages all my life.
At first, I tried every technique I could think of or read up about, like sleep-learning or even "immersion", but my progress was slow and erratic. Sleep learning was totally useless, and immersion doesn’t really work if you’re actively engaged in the conversation. Besides, it’s super slow and inefficient, like a child, who takes 5-10 years to learn their own language! I tackled French at university and was lucky that the teacher spoke French from day 1 (probably my first exposure to "comprehensible input", even before Stephen Krashen coined the phrase). But still very slow progress, despite all the Instant French and French-in-3-Months books, and living and working in France and taking classes, etc.
Then I started dreaming in French. I knew it was correct French somehow, and in my dreams I was also speaking fluently to the others in my dreams.
That got me thinking: I probably already knew quite a lot of French subconsciously, so how do I tap into that?
I decided to try just opening my mouth and letting any sound at all come out of my mouth without consciously thinking about the French language. I just had an intention of what I wanted to get across, but left it up to my mouth to do the talking for me. It felt quite scary, but I thought what the heck, I'll trust in my "mouth" to speak on my behalf.
And lo and behold, the words tumbled out in a cohesive manner. I didn't know if I was speaking correctly or even with the right vocabulary, but I just kept going. And the people I was speaking to seemed to understand clearly what I was saying. I knew of course that I was speaking French, but I didn't fully understand what i was saying myself. It was like another (French) person was speaking for me. My grammar wasn’t always correct, though; basically at the level of my knowledge of the language. But it didn’t matter so much coz at least I,was fluent and people understood me.
(Of course, I still had trouble understanding what others were saying to me. So I didn't always catch their replies fully and couldn't always continue the conversation to a significant depth. That was something I learnt to deal with much later with "ear training", by listening to movies and audiobooks... And since then, now that I've developed the Rapid Method for learning Thai, I've discovered that one needs to follow, or at least have closely studied and read out loud and fully understood, the text of what's being said. That's why "closed captioning" is so important as an effective means to be able to hear clearly what people say, usually indistinctly anyway.)
Allowing yourself to trust in your subconscious has been a very useful technique, not just for becoming more fluent conversationally, but also for playing sports or a musical instrument. The best way to ski or skate well, for instance, is to allow yourself to fall and let your body recover on its own. Similarly with playing the piano. Let your body (hands, wrists, elbows) do the playing for you and you play effortlessly, accurately and musically. (One still has to train and practice the basics and in very small, focused chunks to be able to get to that stage. But the sooner you "release" your inner ability and don't try to control your actions consciously, the quicker and more skillfully you are able to play... or speak.)
I've heard of lucid dreaming, and have experienced it on a few occasions. I didn't think it could be an effective way to gain fluency in a foreign language. I will be looking into that! :)
Thank you very much for this extremely interesting video! I had no idea about lucid dreams before but I'll try to practise them.
Thank you so much for your interest! All the best to you, surely you will succeed with practice.
I have much respect for you as a language learner and I plan to buy your book, but as a lucid dreamer myself I am skeptical that what you heard was an authentic representation of the language. I’ve been shot in a dream and I felt pain, but I doubt it wad really like what getting shot was.
During waking hours, I could understand Polish at that level... the only difference is that it was not passive, my mind actively created it.
Thanks for sharing, Tim. I’m an L1 Ukrainian speaker although English is my stronger language since I was born in the US. I’ve recently been dabbling in Belarusian, and a few months ago I had a dream where a man was speaking to me in fluent Belarusian and I understood him perfectly- but here’s the catch- my brain filled in the gaps for words I didn’t know. I distinctly remember him using words that don’t actually exist, but my brain assigned meaning to them. For example, he used the fake word ваўл (vawl) in place of some noun- guess my brain adapted that from “vowel”.
I adore Slavic languages and am in the process of translating the book (with help of course) into Ukrainian too
@@polyglotdreams do keep me posted, I’d love to buy it
how can i set up my 3 kids for success? ages 2, 1 and not yet born
Expose them to various languages in a meaningful way... which means they use them to communicate with people who are significant to them...
