1. Create a spider web of associations. 2. Listen while reading 3. Select words that are relevant and interesting for you. Don't just learn everything. Focus on learning 1/3 (or 80/20) 4. Association 5. Deconstruction 6. Dynamic repetition 7. Note taking
Agreed, it is not a very common word =) I wanted to use this one actually: Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften but I thought better. I looked up some notoriously long German words here: theweek.com/articles/463500/8-favorite-ridiculously-long-german-words
@@jensburghardt4100 im Blog benutzt er für dieselbe Englische Übersetzung ein anderes Wort als im Video. ABER ich hab mal ein bisschen gegooglet und festgestellt, dass beide Wörter, die er verwendet, in unserer wunderschönen Sprache existieren 😂
I think it's important to note that Luca's video quality and editing has tremendously improved over the years. Awesome video and thanx for the valuable information.
What works for me is associating a new word to a word or a sound in an another language. For example: The Hebrew word for "snake" is "nahash". For me it sounds like a snake is angry: "hushhhhhhh". It may not be true, but I remembered it right away. Another example: "soup" is "marak", sounds like Morroco, so everytime I think about how to say soup, I think of Morroco.
In german, there is a special word for that, called "Eselsbrücke" ("donkey bridge"). It's the best for words and things hard to remember. It also works very well with learning ideographs like Japanese or Korean.
As an English teacher it is super hard for me to motivate students to learn vocabulary. Because it is the boring and "worky" part of learning a language. Currently studying some techniques to make it "fun". Thanks for the tips!
The only fun way would be if everyone would add proper subtitles in all Germanic / Celtic / Latin languages to all the videos on yt and if those teaching languages would create very entertaining videos with a lot of variations, and keep including each word in multiple videos, so that one doesn’t have to rewatch the same video again, because that is the truly boring / annoying part, when I must re-watch the same vocab video multiple times to get the words to become part of my permanent memory, plus it takes more exposure to many of the words for them to become part of one’s automatic memory! The problem with most videos is that they only include and use regular terms that I already know, even videos that aren’t about language learning, so that makes it impossible to learn new / rare / truly advanced words in a truly fun way such as passive learning, which is how I learned Spanish in childhood, by just watching a lot of TV series and movies and listening to a lot of lyrics in Spanish for fun, and I am now native speaker level in Spanish as a result of my watching and listening to them for fun! But know it’s different now tho, because now I want to learn languages on my own and I want to learn them as fast as possible, and it would be possible to do so if they all kept including really advanced terms in all the videos on a regular bases, so that I keep getting exposed to those new terms, and it’s a lot easier if the words are used in context with pics or short clips that are shown or played along with the words, so that one understands the action associated with a verb or another word etc!
Besides, they should all speak slowly, so that I can have enough time to read the sub in Dutch or in German or another language and to process the information and understand the action etc, without having to replay the scene over and over or pause the video, which is also very annoying when one tries learning a new language! Speaking fast is just wrong, even in general! And everyone should always speak slowly and properly enunciate each syllable, so that others can easily understand and have time to process the information, otherwise it won’t be fun to listen to someone that speaks fast and skips half the words, which results in total gibberish that no one can understand, and no one wants to have to try and decipher what someone is trying to say, anyway!
Honestly, it should have been a yt requirement for each video to be upped with subs in all the pretty languages that exist, the pretty languages including all Germanic languages and all Celtic languages and all Latin languages (Galician / French / Gallo / Portuguese / Catalan / Spanish / Occitan / Latin / Esperanto / Italian and the Italian-based dialects) and Hungarian and maybe a few others - to think how many videos and movies I watched that I could have watched with subs in the languages I want to learn, and now I would have been fluent in many (if not most) of them, so it just feels like a total waist of time!
I remember my English teacher in 2019 asking the class what we did to memorize new words haha How can students know? We hope that our teachers give us these tips.
It amazes me how well he speaks English, and I mean in terms of his accent. Like, you can't hear his native language at all! Usually you can tell if someone is Italian or Russian or whatever by the way the speak their English. But Luca speaks American English perfectly! Crazy man
I cant really talk because I've only one language so wel done, its fantastic but I hear that he has another language. I heard it as soon as he introduced himself. Some words are a dead giveaway, like saying his name . But there's nothing wrong or bad or incomplete about that
Of all the videos giving tips this may be the only one I found really useful THANK YOU!!!- and applies for every language, but for me, learning Russian and really struggling to memorise the basic words I would add two more tips, one , keep a sheet of paper in your back pocket with your latest phrases on, then you can pull it out anytime you are waiting for a bus or anything. Not your phone or you will get distracted!!! These little moments have proven so useful as I now see a phrase several times a day not just once. Secondly, drawing a picture with the phrase, even if terribly drawn, seems to put it into a totally different part of my brain. Easier for nouns than adverbs, but it doesn't seem to matter.
Luca: I found your advise extremely helpful. I speak three languages but my last challenge has been becoming a court interpreter. I never had any legal background but had thirty six years of medical background. This is my biggest challenge. I considered it as learning to speak another language because it’s completely “foreign” to me. I have used several of the techniques you mentioned to form the spider web, but I’m encouraged by the new ones you mentioned here. I’ll start applying your advise ASAP :). I’ll let you know my progress in a couple of weeks....
@@daniyal-syed People tend to make promises when they are excited about anything new that they are seemingly learning. So as it turns out that time flies and they don't even know what they have randomly said in the comment box from youtube. You should not expect here she will come back here and say, Hey this definitely worked for me.
2:45 But how shall I decide which words are relevant, when I don't know what the words mean? If I have the word "piller" and I don't know it, I look it up. But how shall I decide if it's relevant or not without looking it up?
For me I can usually guess which words are relevant from context, if i’m watching a TV show for example and there is a scene where a teacher is talking about some physics rule I can guess that most of these new words are physics terms and they are irrelevant for me (at the beginning stages), when there is a scene that show a casual conversation between two friends or a small talk between strangers and I stumpe upon a new word I can guess that is is a more frequently used words and it can be relevant to me, other factors such as the tone of the speaker, the environment, the general subject...can help in guessing these things
There is no word such as "Freundschaftsbezeigung" in german. not even the word "Bezeigung" isn't there. There is "Bezeichnung", to explain something or "Beziehung" which means it has a relationship.
Really? I find that fascinating. I barely speak a lick of German (I've dabbled), but the length of "scary" German words has never seemed an imposing obstacle to me. To take a phrase that was used in this video - dynamic repetition - if instead of two words that were just one word in English - dynamicrepetition - I can't even begin to see how it's any scarier. Or maybe I'm just an odd duck. In high school I remember being taught what the supposed longest word in English was - antidisestablishmentarianism - and the reaction from the other kids (this is in Australia, so all native English speakers) was along the lines of oh wow, what a monster, God help us. My feeling was more like okay, there's a lot of syllables there, but that doesn't imply that the meaning of the word is necessarily going to be impossibly difficult to understand. (This word requires some historical and political background knowledge to properly grasp, so I don't think many of us, me included, really understood the definition of it the teacher gave us, but I was able to come away with a basic understanding that the distestablishmentarianists opposed the church and so 'antidisestablishmentarianism' was simply the 'philosophy' (if it even amounts to that) of the people who, in turn, opposed them.)
Hello Luca, thanks so much for this very inspiring and useful video! Those 7 techniques are very powerful tools, I totally agree. Wenn es darum geht neue Vokabeln zu lernen, wende ich auch die erste Technik an. Non vedo l'ora di vedere i tuoi prossimi video, hai il dono di toccare il cuore delle persone con il tuo modo di trasmettere la passione per le lingue. Du bist mein Vorbild :) Have a great day!
In my opinion, Luca and Timothy Doner are the most legit polyglots on RUclips. They're not trivializing language learning and give great applicable advice.
Thanks for the comment Emil! I am doing my best to be informative and entertaining. On a side note, I still remember the exact moment I met Tim in Paris, when he was 16. He is one of a kind and it was a privilege to spend time and share stories with him walking down the streets of city of lights =)
Yeah a lot of the "polyglots" only have basic or intermediate levels in the "many" languages they speak. Usually they are also very slow and robotic in those languages too.
Agreed. I love both of them, and they're such inspirations to me! I'm currently focusing on Japanese but when I'm done with taking an exam for it, I want to move onto other languages, such as French, Korean, Russian, and Norwegian :)
Tim is good in certain languages (Arabic and Hebrew for example) but not even at a B2 level in most others. He himself admitted that he’s not fluent in all of his languages.
I'm german and I've literally never heard the word Freundschaftsbezeigung before. Tip #8: Don't learn stupid words nobody actually uses. (I've seen german language material full of useless words...)
I also have another tip It is relevant to your method of learning relevant words. Something I do that really helps is to start speaking in that language about whatever topic that would interest me in the languages I speak confidently. A lot of times I catch myself not knowing the word or grammar for sth that interests me, so I look it up, take notes and then make sentences related to the topic I was talking about. Learning a language through learning to talk about your interests really helps you advance. Because usually people aren't interested in learning words like "faucet" unless they're a plumber or just happen to need it. If you like talking about poetry trying to learn words that aid you talk about it in your target language will help you learn it better. Also I prefer doing this with speaking cuz I like listening to the words and the context I learned them in but it could also be done with writing
This is fantastic, thank you. My Latin teacher in high school used some of these same techniques, although I didn't realize it at the time, and after two years of classes, I scored in the top 5 percentile on the Latin SATs. Yet my few subsequent attempts to learn another language failed miserably, mainly, I now think, because they were so focused on trying to learn one word at a time. I am currently planning to moving to Southeast Asia after the pandemic, and have been worried because I couldn't retain words at all. Now I have these techniques that immediately made sense to me and resonate with the way I think and learn other new information. So thanks again, and keep up the great work!
I must say, your way of speaking English is even more better and beautifully pronounced than some of the native speakers I know, and can be understood without substitles, at least I can. Very interesting content, I use your videos as for listening practice and write down some of the phrases from your speech which I find different.
This is fantastic. As an ESL tutor, I've been using most of these techniques instinctively, but I'm so glad I'm on the right track. English is not my mother tongue, so I had to learn most of it on my own and unknowingly I've used these techniques to learn. Recently I've been playing with homophones and homographs with my student and it's been an amazing learning experience for her. Thank you for helping me putting into words what I instinctively knew.
Great list! Theres one I wish was in the list though and that is to attach words to pictures and not to words. For my first language I had no words so I attached word to sight (when parents asks do you want the red crayon or the blue crayon they usually move the options to cue which one is which through hand motion each option) but when I learned my second language (English) I attached new words to old words so when people asked a question in the new language I had to break it down into parts, remember each attached word to each part and look at the picture associated with the word, think of an answer, piece each section back into the new sentence structure order and formulate the answer and this long thought process made me tired within seconds of interacting and to fix the in head translation crutch habit took ages to undo. Now with the third language I pretend I don't have a language and attach new words to images so when I listen I can jump straight to the picture so if I hear "red yarn in the basket" I right away picture it without word thinking. I think this tip is pretty important for inexperienced language learners because we want language to feel good, not dreading that brain translation heaviness.
how did you get rid of the translation habit? i have that with mandarin and while it's not much of a problem with quick dialogue, i can't have long conversations because my brain gets tired out too quickly. not only that but i have to break down their sentence which takes far too long if their sentence is longer than perhaps 8 words.
Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain, Africa. Brilliant! Both the content of the video, and his superb mastery of English. It bugs me that Steve Kaufmann says that he finds Luca's English not fully native. I swear that Luca has a greater mastery, pronunciation and just basic fluent native quality to his English than many born natives that I've met, even possibly myself included, certainly before I've had my first coffee of the day, any day. It's hard to fathom that he's learned any language so well as an adult. Then to think that he's got like five or ten more just as fluent, and fluent it is, in the most stringent sense of the word. Well done, Luke! And thanks a ton for sharing your invaluable tips. And if you ever fancy learning some Canary Whistle Language, I've recently put up a couple of demonstration and explanation videos of it on my tiny and very amateur channel here. I'd be honoured to give you a few pointers to get you started with it. Best wishes, Patrick.
Hey there! Thanks for the lovely words =) I think I have been steadily improving my pronunciation and articulation through constant exposure, use and teaching the language myself. More and more people I meet in real life think I am a native English speaker from the Midwest. Canary Whistle Language sounds cool! =) L
This is 4 years old but anyway: Steve Kaufman (or "Kowfman" as he says now as he professes to speak German) is an old fart speaking for hours and hours and hours in his native language English. A pain in the ass and to be avoided, that´s what he is. The same about those saying "hello", "goodbye" and "I speak your language" in forty languages. Grüße aus Deutschland!
@@ruedigernassauer No, not true. I guess you decided to troll him, based on nothing, or maybe envy. Both Luke and Steve are surely in the top ten experts and exponents of efficient language acquisition in the world, a field they've both innovated and changed for the better. Both have more than proven themselves as AMAZING polyglots and teachers, in the broadest sense of the words. 🌹🌹
Whatever Steve Kaufman thinks is irrelevant. As a native Italian I can tell you that his Italian is an utter mess - he mixes Spanish with French and can't conjugate beyond lower intermediate. I also heard him speak in Brazilian Portuguese (a language I am fluent in) and it is barely scraping beginner level. He is the impostor and is jealous of Luca without a doubt. I have seen videos of different natives in a number of languages reviewing Luca's proficiency and by and large they attest that he speaks any of the languages he claims to speak (Greek, Russian, Hungarian, European Portuguese, French and even Polish among others) at advanced level with minimal accent.
1. Take the word within the context of the sentence. Don't use isolated words. 2. Listen while reading (use Lingt it's amazing) 3. Don't look up EVERY word in a paragraph. Look up the relevant / interesting/ important words TO YOU. 4.
1. العلم صيد و الكتابة قيد ،ومن لا قيد له ذهب صيده" "Spoken words fly, but written words stay." Make a phrase notebook, and always write down the unfamiliar word in its context./ never seperate it from the other words that are surrounding it. Besides, you'd better put a reference about where(PLACE) and when(TIME) the phrase came from, so as to remind yourself of the whole story. 2. Use Audio-Books, or Padcasts, as long as you an listen and read at the same time. 3. Only .stop on the words that are relevant to you. You don't need to understand every single word, yet you have to understand at least 95%, of the words you're reading. So should something a little bit easy for you. 3. [ 13:10 ] Create a word spider web .Using association 4. "Repetition is the mother of skill" Tonney Robbins But repeating the material in the very same way in which you've been exposed to it the very first time is not a very efficient way of learning.
Great advice. Pretty much all of this is covered in LingQ which I use on a daily basis. I feel like my progress is coming on leaps and bounds so it’s reassuring to know it’s the same principles :)
That moment, when you discover it is actually called Freundschaftsbezeigung instead of Freundschaftsbezeugung. I'm German but wouldn't know. Both versions sound wrong to me but I know the word Liebesbezeugung which is correct, so it is weird why we should say Freundschaftsbezeigung, I would never get it right myself and I'm sure most Germans will get it wrong. 😂 Languages are strange sometimes, don't learn that word, it is useless anyway. 😂
Underlying every unknown word is a mistake I've made for a lengthy span of time. I found myself very frustrated because I couldn't understand a tricky book written by experts and savvy researchers. It was a mistake too because not even native speakers grasp many expressions from a variety of fields. So, I ought to chill out. I like History so I'm going to focus on expression widely used in this field instead of going over every subject that shows up ahead of me.
@@GeorgeLeroux it is going well, thanks. it's just difficult language but i wont give up cause i love russia and would love to see your country someday
Great advice thanks...I'm 54 and am just starting to learn Russian...I started 2 weeks ago and have so far learned the Cyrillic script and know about 100 words....Some words I just need to read a few times and they commit to memory, whilst other words I find extremely difficult to memorize no matter how many times I read, write or say them...Your technique sounds great in theory, so I'll practice it for sure.
THERE IS NO WORD CALLED 'FREUNDSCHAFTSBEZEIGUNG' IN GERMAN 🤣😂 I was so confussed just hearing that. You can say FreundschaftsBEZEUgung. 'Freundschaftsbezeigung' is wrong.
I absolutely love this video, I took note of everything! Currently I'm studying Japanese and I can't yet read the subtitles so do you think it is worthwhile reading the subtitles even when I don't understand or should I entirely focus on listening? Gracias como siempre ✨
I think you should spend a lot of time listening while reading in Japanese, but to more comprehensible input (podcasts at your current level for example). Then you can move on to watching and consuming more and more content created for native speakers. Hope this helps! =) L
Dear Luca, the word you talk about at Minute 4:10 is FreundschaftsbezIEhung. It is made out of Freundschaft: Friendship and Beziehung: relation. Beziehung is pronounced "be-tsee-oong". Viele Grüße!
Das Wort "Freundschaftsbezeigung" existiert nicht in der Deutschen Sprache 😂 Hier liegt ein Fehler vor. The word "Freundschaftsbezeigung" does not exist in the German language. Kind regards from Germany and thanks for your videos.
Sensible advice from one of the more pragmatic and useful of the RUclips polyglots. When he talks of word networks, what I'm trying to do this time around is build my vocab in layers. So after I've learned a few key words in very basic phrases, I then reuse these familiar words in increasingly complex patterns to learn new words , tenses etc. In this way I'm constantly reinforcing the old words, but adding a new element each time. This should be quite a lot more efficient than learning the new material in isolation, without taking up significantly more time. Say I've learned the word "muddy": the muddy path -> to walk along the muddy path -> they walked along the muddy path -> to squelch along the muddy path -> they squelched along the muddy path, the trekker struggled along the muddy path -> the hunter struggled grimly along the muddy path -> the hunter strode grimly along the muddy path as night closed in etc etc. You get the idea. Lots of scope for variation here, but by adding just one or two elements at a time to stuff you already know, you can work up to quite complex constructions without the reviews becoming too stressful, as they would if you tried to learn a lot of new elements at once.
The aim of the memorization is to be able to understand a text when you're in situation. For example, I'm French and unfortunately for me, I left English out even though I had a pretty good level, nay I was probably able to speak fluently with any English natives or English teachers. Therefore, I'm catching my level again in order to be able to speak fluently again. Just big thank you for Luca for all your device ! You're good man.
I do exactly the same when it comes to German. I always break down this long words into their constituent parts. I even understand these words not as single long words but rather separate words sticking together. Sometimes I even forget about whether these words should stick together or not.
Thanks for your video! So, I have many translation lists in 5 languages all based on words that I have heard/read/seen over the past few years. Whenever there's a linguistic doubt/a new word that pops up, it will end up in one of my lists. So these are Excel lists that I update from time to time, i.e. I delete those that I know how to use or that are no longer relevant to me. However, these are simply words without context... do you think it would be better to make sentence lists rather than word lists? Thank you for your help!
Am I unusual? I have to work hard to learn new vocabulary I come across in texts even if I copy them out. However, if I hear a new word in conversation or in a film etc I remember it really easily. I've even noticed that with texts which I have a recording for I remember new words much better if I listen and don't look at the text first than if I look at the text and listen.
You are probably more of an an auditive learner. I am the complete opposite, I have a hard time learning vocab by just listening and usually need a script or some visual aid
@@seherling207 That's interesting. I guess the thing is we have to remember when we watch 'how to learn a language' videos that we are all different and we have to try different ways to find out what works for you. There is no 'best way' which works for everyone.
Thank you for making this fantastic video! I really enjoyed it😁. I'm going to try and use your techniques to improve my English. And in April I'm going to start learning Italian so it will be interesting to see how it works with a language I don't know at all. Must say, you have a great talent👏 Not only you speak many languages but also you can explain everything in a simple way. Wish I found this channel sooner.
3:54 I'm german and I'm telling you I never heard that word *(it surely is a german word and I also could tell it's meaning, Luca isn't lying, it's just prettty rare)* Edit: Why is this comment so big? I wanted to make it so that this line ^ is folded in but now it's just 20cm beneath the first
as a belgian i can proudly say that i speak 4 languages at the age of 16 my first language is dutch then french english and german I think that has something to do with being "europian'. but it's still hard for me and many others to memorize certain words who are just more difficult and complex so thank you for your tips
1. Create a diagram that consists of different meanings of a word (to know the meaning of the word in different contexts) 2. Listening and reading at the same time (to recognize the meaning of both aspects) 3. Association (to make the new information get involved in or relevant with the old pieces of information) 4. Dynamic repetition (Use spaced repetition method in different ways ie: Just listening/reading/translating into mother language) 5. Deconstruction (Breakdown the long word into smaller parts and remember become much easier) 6. Note-taking (Note new words along with SPACE and TIME to make senses about the contexts) 7. Selection (Learn the words that relevant to your life, jobs, ie: In my case, that would be business words)
Septilinguist and totally agree. My favourite of these is deconstruction. My bf and I both have French as our second language, and we read together for practice. He can rarely guess th meanings of words, but I am good with patterns so I intuitively recognize the roots in words. In Japanese, my 5th language, many people hate the Chinese symbols used to write words. I love them. If you know a lot of them, you can recognize words you’ve never heard before, even when they aren’t written.
Very engaging and edifying yet understandable and enjoyable, just subscribed after only watching this video on your channel. Your assistance in tackling the problem of vocabulary retention is invaluable, only need to implement these techniques into my daily routine. A big thank you to you 😀
I really appreciate your content! Can't wait to try it! it does make sense to me to incorporate those informations in my routine, but I still have to try as I said. I'm excited to see if really does help me! Now I know how to talk fluently already 3 langueges and currently studying Turkish so I'm glad to have found you to help me in this journey! 😚😄 Um abraço! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
Never even heard of the word "Freundschaftsbezeigung" and I'm german. Guess normal people would say "Freundschaftsbezeugung" instead of the strange (but obviously valid) version "-bezeigung".
This was great, thanks, been searching for "what should a 3 year old know academically?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Eanmanter Straightforward Equalizer - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to teach your child to read minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.
Ok, I've captured that metaphorical castle, now I wanna see my enemies driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women...metaphorically speaking, of course
At 6:38, when you say "Always make sure that you mark the place and the time where it happened", do you mean that we should write the exact time (for example 5:12 pm) or simply the date?
Great question! The date is enough. For example, if you stumbled upon the word "stonewalled" when reading, saying, a novel (let's suppose it is Frankenstein's Mary Shelley) you would write: Chapter X - 06/10/2018 Stonewalled - X (meaning in your native language) + Example
I watched this video a few months ago. At that time I couldn't understand it without captions. Now I'm watching it for the second time, I can understand all of it without any captions. Keep going!

What works for me is associating a new word to a word or a sound in an another language.
For example:
The Hebrew word for "snake" is "nahash". For me it sounds like a snake is angry: "hushhhhhhh". It may not be true, but I remembered it right away.
Another example: "soup" is "marak", sounds like Morroco, so everytime I think about how to say soup, I think of Morroco.
Ms Keisha 😂😂 nice
is it called a mnemonic technique ? XD I suppoese that's the very efficient way to memorize
Yes! Good examples. You're doing what is called mnemonics. Making an association with the word you can remember. כל כבוד

The only fun way would be if everyone would add proper subtitles in all Germanic / Celtic / Latin languages to all the videos on yt and if those teaching languages would create very entertaining videos with a lot of variations, and keep including each word in multiple videos, so that one doesn’t have to rewatch the same video again, because that is the truly boring / annoying part, when I must re-watch the same vocab video multiple times to get the words to become part of my permanent memory, plus it takes more exposure to many of the words for them to become part of one’s automatic memory! The problem with most videos is that they only include and use regular terms that I already know, even videos that aren’t about language learning, so that makes it impossible to learn new / rare / truly advanced words in a truly fun way such as passive learning, which is how I learned Spanish in childhood, by just watching a lot of TV series and movies and listening to a lot of lyrics in Spanish for fun, and I am now native speaker level in Spanish as a result of my watching and listening to them for fun! But know it’s different now tho, because now I want to learn languages on my own and I want to learn them as fast as possible, and it would be possible to do so if they all kept including really advanced terms in all the videos on a regular bases, so that I keep getting exposed to those new terms, and it’s a lot easier if the words are used in context with pics or short clips that are shown or played along with the words, so that one understands the action associated with a verb or another word etc!
Besides, they should all speak slowly, so that I can have enough time to read the sub in Dutch or in German or another language and to process the information and understand the action etc, without having to replay the scene over and over or pause the video, which is also very annoying when one tries learning a new language! Speaking fast is just wrong, even in general! And everyone should always speak slowly and properly enunciate each syllable, so that others can easily understand and have time to process the information, otherwise it won’t be fun to listen to someone that speaks fast and skips half the words, which results in total gibberish that no one can understand, and no one wants to have to try and decipher what someone is trying to say, anyway!
Honestly, it should have been a yt requirement for each video to be upped with subs in all the pretty languages that exist, the pretty languages including all Germanic languages and all Celtic languages and all Latin languages (Galician / French / Gallo / Portuguese / Catalan / Spanish / Occitan / Latin / Esperanto / Italian and the Italian-based dialects) and Hungarian and maybe a few others - to think how many videos and movies I watched that I could have watched with subs in the languages I want to learn, and now I would have been fluent in many (if not most) of them, so it just feels like a total waist of time!
I remember my English teacher in 2019 asking the class what we did to memorize new words haha
How can students know? We hope that our teachers give us these tips.
It amazes me how well he speaks English, and I mean in terms of his accent. Like, you can't hear his native language at all! Usually you can tell if someone is Italian or Russian or whatever by the way the speak their English. But Luca speaks American English perfectly! Crazy man
Thanks! =)
@@LucaLampariello No problem 😇
I cant really talk because I've only one language so wel done, its fantastic but I hear that he has another language. I heard it as soon as he introduced himself. Some words are a dead giveaway, like saying his name . But there's nothing wrong or bad or incomplete about that
I can hear that this not american english and I also notice that it is not his mother tongue
I agree. I've seen a few of his videos over the months and assumed he was American until I read this comment..🤣
Of all the videos giving tips this may be the only one I found really useful THANK YOU!!!- and applies for every language, but for me, learning Russian and really struggling to memorise the basic words I would add two more tips, one , keep a sheet of paper in your back pocket with your latest phrases on, then you can pull it out anytime you are waiting for a bus or anything. Not your phone or you will get distracted!!! These little moments have proven so useful as I now see a phrase several times a day not just once. Secondly, drawing a picture with the phrase, even if terribly drawn, seems to put it into a totally different part of my brain. Easier for nouns than adverbs, but it doesn't seem to matter.
Agree, particularly about drawing the meaning of a word. The strategy of using four squares is great.
same
Ну как дела с русским?😃
Apply dual coding theory
While you speak in English your hands speak in Italian :D
Hey Luca, it´s "Freundschaftsbezeugung" :-) It contains the word Zeuge (witness) not zeigen (to show).
Thanks for the input, great tips!!!
when you say 'relevant' it often sounds like 'irrelevant'.
Yesll
Yes lol*
No.
I'm a German native speaker and have never heard, read or used the word Bezeigung or heard or seen anyone use it in 38 years.
Luca: I found your advise extremely helpful. I speak three languages but my last challenge has been becoming a court interpreter. I never had any legal background but had thirty six years of medical background. This is my biggest challenge. I considered it as learning to speak another language because it’s completely “foreign” to me. I have used several of the techniques you mentioned to form the spider web, but I’m encouraged by the new ones you mentioned here. I’ll start applying your advise ASAP :). I’ll let you know my progress in a couple of weeks....
It’s been six months...
@@daniyal-syed People tend to make promises when they are excited about anything new that they are seemingly learning. So as it turns out that time flies and they don't even know what they have randomly said in the comment box from youtube. You should not expect here she will come back here and say, Hey this definitely worked for me.
2:45 But how shall I decide which words are relevant, when I don't know what the words mean? If I have the word "piller" and I don't know it, I look it up. But how shall I decide if it's relevant or not without looking it up?
For me I can usually guess which words are relevant from context, if i’m watching a TV show for example and there is a scene where a teacher is talking about some physics rule I can guess that most of these new words are physics terms and they are irrelevant for me (at the beginning stages), when there is a scene that show a casual conversation between two friends or a small talk between strangers and I stumpe upon a new word I can guess that is is a more frequently used words and it can be relevant to me, other factors such as the tone of the speaker, the environment, the general subject...can help in guessing these things
@@dew8nada Thank you!
There is no word such as "Freundschaftsbezeigung" in german. not even the word "Bezeigung" isn't there. There is "Bezeichnung", to explain something or "Beziehung" which means it has a relationship.
3:56 I am a German, yet got scared of the word - didn't know it before xD
We'll never stop learning ;)
Really? I find that fascinating. I barely speak a lick of German (I've dabbled), but the length of "scary" German words has never seemed an imposing obstacle to me. To take a phrase that was used in this video - dynamic repetition - if instead of two words that were just one word in English - dynamicrepetition - I can't even begin to see how it's any scarier.
Or maybe I'm just an odd duck. In high school I remember being taught what the supposed longest word in English was - antidisestablishmentarianism - and the reaction from the other kids (this is in Australia, so all native English speakers) was along the lines of oh wow, what a monster, God help us. My feeling was more like okay, there's a lot of syllables there, but that doesn't imply that the meaning of the word is necessarily going to be impossibly difficult to understand. (This word requires some historical and political background knowledge to properly grasp, so I don't think many of us, me included, really understood the definition of it the teacher gave us, but I was able to come away with a basic understanding that the distestablishmentarianists opposed the church and so 'antidisestablishmentarianism' was simply the 'philosophy' (if it even amounts to that) of the people who, in turn, opposed them.)
I advise you use Burning Vocabulary. google it.
This is how my brain works. I can't memorize by rote. I need to actually apply it more diligently tho.
Hello Luca, thanks so much for this very inspiring and useful video! Those 7 techniques are very powerful tools, I totally agree. Wenn es darum geht neue Vokabeln zu lernen, wende ich auch die erste Technik an. Non vedo l'ora di vedere i tuoi prossimi video, hai il dono di toccare il cuore delle persone con il tuo modo di trasmettere la passione per le lingue. Du bist mein Vorbild :) Have a great day!
Grazie mille per il bel commento butterfly4 ;-)
Who else turned the subtitles on right after the subtitles advice? 😂
I have 100++ definitions for biology😭😭
In my opinion, Luca and Timothy Doner are the most legit polyglots on RUclips. They're not trivializing language learning and give great applicable advice.
Thanks for the comment Emil! I am doing my best to be informative and entertaining. On a side note, I still remember the exact moment I met Tim in Paris, when he was 16. He is one of a kind and it was a privilege to spend time and share stories with him walking down the streets of city of lights =)
Yeah a lot of the "polyglots" only have basic or intermediate levels in the "many" languages they speak. Usually they are also very slow and robotic in those languages too.
Agreed. I love both of them, and they're such inspirations to me! I'm currently focusing on Japanese but when I'm done with taking an exam for it, I want to move onto other languages, such as French, Korean, Russian, and Norwegian :)
Tim is good in certain languages (Arabic and Hebrew for example) but not even at a B2 level in most others. He himself admitted that he’s not fluent in all of his languages.
@@CentsTwo Aye, any communication is better than none
I'm german and I've literally never heard the word Freundschaftsbezeigung before.
Tip #8: Don't learn stupid words nobody actually uses. (I've seen german language material full of useless words...)
I am German and never heard of the word "Freundschaftsbezeigung"
You are right. I am not a Gergman and i have never heard of this word either.
@@vladimirslezinger9894 I am not German but I have heard of this word, in a video by Luca Lampariello.
I am German and I can tell: this word does NOT exist!
my dad is sleeping lower ur voice bro
I also have another tip
It is relevant to your method of learning relevant words.
Something I do that really helps is to start speaking in that language about whatever topic that would interest me in the languages I speak confidently.
A lot of times I catch myself not knowing the word or grammar for sth that interests me, so I look it up, take notes and then make sentences related to the topic I was talking about.
Learning a language through learning to talk about your interests really helps you advance.
Because usually people aren't interested in learning words like "faucet" unless they're a plumber or just happen to need it. If you like talking about poetry trying to learn words that aid you talk about it in your target language will help you learn it better.
Also I prefer doing this with speaking cuz I like listening to the words and the context I learned them in but it could also be done with writing
Although you do need to start with basic vocab before learning more about what interests you
I usually do the same! And it really helps me remember the words better.
@@aliceduanra7539 I never said you didn't. I just gave an extra tip
@@paradojan7322 awesome!
Thanks sweetie! I'll keep in mind this tip. :'3
This is fantastic, thank you. My Latin teacher in high school used some of these same techniques, although I didn't realize it at the time, and after two years of classes, I scored in the top 5 percentile on the Latin SATs. Yet my few subsequent attempts to learn another language failed miserably, mainly, I now think, because they were so focused on trying to learn one word at a time. I am currently planning to moving to Southeast Asia after the pandemic, and have been worried because I couldn't retain words at all. Now I have these techniques that immediately made sense to me and resonate with the way I think and learn other new information. So thanks again, and keep up the great work!
I must say, your way of speaking English is even more better and beautifully pronounced than some of the native speakers I know, and can be understood without substitles, at least I can.
Very interesting content, I use your videos as for listening practice and write down some of the phrases from your speech which I find different.
When he said game, I thought for sure he said 개. Then he said, "what do you think of?"
Me: Dog, i knew the word, it's dog!!!
It didn't sound like 개 to me. It sound more like gay, or game with an accent mainly
When I listen to a new language I see the words, like "subtitles", without needing a visual aid.
even if u dunno those words?!
Not when the language has inconsistent spelling and pronounciation
Lucky you!
@@alyamanmaasarani7832 True, especially English 🤪
In Russia, the words read you.
This is fantastic. As an ESL tutor, I've been using most of these techniques instinctively, but I'm so glad I'm on the right track. English is not my mother tongue, so I had to learn most of it on my own and unknowingly I've used these techniques to learn. Recently I've been playing with homophones and homographs with my student and it's been an amazing learning experience for her. Thank you for helping me putting into words what I instinctively knew.
Great list! Theres one I wish was in the list though and that is to attach words to pictures and not to words. For my first language I had no words so I attached word to sight (when parents asks do you want the red crayon or the blue crayon they usually move the options to cue which one is which through hand motion each option) but when I learned my second language (English) I attached new words to old words so when people asked a question in the new language I had to break it down into parts, remember each attached word to each part and look at the picture associated with the word, think of an answer, piece each section back into the new sentence structure order and formulate the answer and this long thought process made me tired within seconds of interacting and to fix the in head translation crutch habit took ages to undo. Now with the third language I pretend I don't have a language and attach new words to images so when I listen I can jump straight to the picture so if I hear "red yarn in the basket" I right away picture it without word thinking. I think this tip is pretty important for inexperienced language learners because we want language to feel good, not dreading that brain translation heaviness.
smart
how did you get rid of the translation habit? i have that with mandarin and while it's not much of a problem with quick dialogue, i can't have long conversations because my brain gets tired out too quickly. not only that but i have to break down their sentence which takes far too long if their sentence is longer than perhaps 8 words.
Tenerife,
Canary Islands,
Spain,
Africa.
Brilliant!
Both the content of the video, and his superb mastery of English.
It bugs me that Steve Kaufmann says that he finds Luca's English not fully native.
I swear that Luca has a greater mastery, pronunciation and just basic fluent native quality to his English than many born natives that I've met, even possibly myself included, certainly before I've had my first coffee of the day, any day.
It's hard to fathom that he's learned any language so well as an adult.
Then to think that he's got like five or ten more just as fluent, and fluent it is, in the most stringent sense of the word.
Well done, Luke!
And thanks a ton for sharing your invaluable tips.
And if you ever fancy learning some Canary Whistle Language, I've recently put up a couple of demonstration and explanation videos of it on my tiny and very amateur channel here.
I'd be honoured to give you a few pointers to get you started with it.
Best wishes,
Patrick.
Hey there! Thanks for the lovely words =)
I think I have been steadily improving my pronunciation and articulation through constant exposure, use and teaching the language myself. More and more people I meet in real life think I am a native English speaker from the Midwest.
Canary Whistle Language sounds cool! =)

This is 4 years old but anyway: Steve Kaufman (or "Kowfman" as he says now as he professes to speak German) is an old fart speaking for hours and hours and hours in his native language English. A pain in the ass and to be avoided, that´s what he is. The same about those saying "hello", "goodbye" and "I speak your language" in forty languages. Grüße aus Deutschland!
@@ruedigernassauer
No, not true. I guess you decided to troll him, based on nothing, or maybe envy.
Both Luke and Steve are surely in the top ten experts and exponents of efficient language acquisition in the world, a field they've both innovated and changed for the better.
Both have more than proven themselves as AMAZING polyglots and teachers, in the broadest sense of the words.
🌹🌹
Whatever Steve Kaufman thinks is irrelevant. As a native Italian I can tell you that his Italian is an utter mess - he mixes Spanish with French and can't conjugate beyond lower intermediate. I also heard him speak in Brazilian Portuguese (a language I am fluent in) and it is barely scraping beginner level. He is the impostor and is jealous of Luca without a doubt. I have seen videos of different natives in a number of languages reviewing Luca's proficiency and by and large they attest that he speaks any of the languages he claims to speak (Greek, Russian, Hungarian, European Portuguese, French and even Polish among others) at advanced level with minimal accent.
1. Take the word within the context of the sentence. Don't use isolated words.
2. Listen while reading (use Lingt it's amazing)
3. Don't look up EVERY word in a paragraph. Look up the relevant / interesting/ important words TO YOU.
4.
now I have to know the 4th tip
1. العلم صيد و الكتابة قيد ،ومن لا قيد له ذهب صيده"
"Spoken words fly, but written words stay."
Make a phrase notebook, and always write down the unfamiliar word in its context./ never seperate it from the other words that are surrounding it. Besides, you'd better put a reference about where(PLACE) and when(TIME) the phrase came from, so as to remind yourself of the whole story.
2. Use Audio-Books, or Padcasts, as long as you an listen and read at the same time.
3. Only .stop on the words that are relevant to you. You don't need to understand every single word, yet you have to understand at least 95%, of the words you're reading. So should something a little bit easy for you.
3. [ 13:10 ] Create a word spider web .Using association
4. "Repetition is the mother of skill" Tonney Robbins
But repeating the material in the very same way in which you've been exposed to it the very first time is not a very efficient way of learning.
Wish I knew this 5 years ago
0:20 the first thing that comes up is that i just lost.
Great advice. Pretty much all of this is covered in LingQ which I use on a daily basis. I feel like my progress is coming on leaps and bounds so it’s reassuring to know it’s the same principles :)
As always this is other masterpiece for language enthusiasts. Thank you Luca for these powerful tips.
Greetings from Brazil.
Thanks for the lovely words man =)
That moment, when you discover it is actually called Freundschaftsbezeigung instead of Freundschaftsbezeugung. I'm German but wouldn't know. Both versions sound wrong to me but I know the word Liebesbezeugung which is correct, so it is weird why we should say Freundschaftsbezeigung, I would never get it right myself and I'm sure most Germans will get it wrong. 😂 Languages are strange sometimes, don't learn that word, it is useless anyway. 😂
Underlying every unknown word is a mistake I've made for a lengthy span of time.
I found myself very frustrated because I couldn't understand a tricky book written by experts and savvy researchers. It was a mistake too because not even native speakers grasp many expressions from a variety of fields. So, I ought to chill out.
I like History so I'm going to focus on expression widely used in this field instead of going over every subject that shows up ahead of me.
Polyglott here, yes, relating words in context helps; i'm surprised you didn't mention cognates. Nice video, gonna read your notes. TY
I'm Brazilian, I'm learning to speak English
does anyone want to learn portuguese?

wow it's so admirable to see someone learning your native language :) how's it going?
@@GeorgeLeroux it is going well, thanks. it's just difficult language but i wont give up cause i love russia and would love to see your country someday
I love that you felt the need to write that in bold lol
I Think that. I begin to fish many many words, when I listen, or when I read. But I don't understant the phrases large. Tips please. I speak spanish
0:16 but Luca I hate spiders they terrify me. 😨😰😂
Great advice thanks...I'm 54 and am just starting to learn Russian...I started 2 weeks ago and have so far learned the Cyrillic script and know about 100 words....Some words I just need to read a few times and they commit to memory, whilst other words I find extremely difficult to memorize no matter how many times I read, write or say them...Your technique sounds great in theory, so I'll practice it for sure.
I didn't think this would give me new techniques but it did. شكراً
I am glad you found the video useful! =) L
So succinct, wise, and clear. Thanks for making this video!
THERE IS NO WORD CALLED 'FREUNDSCHAFTSBEZEIGUNG' IN GERMAN 🤣😂 I was so confussed just hearing that. You can say FreundschaftsBEZEUgung. 'Freundschaftsbezeigung' is wrong.
Im trying to learn more than 100 words this week for my german teacher, i don't have time for movies
I absolutely love this video, I took note of everything! Currently I'm studying Japanese and I can't yet read the subtitles so do you think it is worthwhile reading the subtitles even when I don't understand or should I entirely focus on listening?
Gracias como siempre ✨
I think you should spend a lot of time listening while reading in Japanese, but to more comprehensible input (podcasts at your current level for example). Then you can move on to watching and consuming more and more content created for native speakers. Hope this helps! =) L
Luca Lampariello great idea, thank you so much!
I’m so happy to have found your channel as I’m struggling with French. Thank you for all your tips. All are useful! 🙂
Thank u so mich for ur videos❤️❤️🇮🇳
im a tutor and also a language learner. so helpful. thank you!!
Dear Luca, the word you talk about at Minute 4:10 is FreundschaftsbezIEhung. It is made out of Freundschaft: Friendship and Beziehung: relation. Beziehung is pronounced "be-tsee-oong". Viele Grüße!
Das Wort "Freundschaftsbezeigung" existiert nicht in der Deutschen Sprache 😂 Hier liegt ein Fehler vor. The word "Freundschaftsbezeigung" does not exist in the German language. Kind regards from Germany and thanks for your videos.
Sensible advice from one of the more pragmatic and useful of the RUclips polyglots.
When he talks of word networks, what I'm trying to do this time around is build my vocab in layers. So after I've learned a few key words in very basic phrases, I then reuse these familiar words in increasingly complex patterns to learn new words , tenses etc. In this way I'm constantly reinforcing the old words, but adding a new element each time. This should be quite a lot more efficient than learning the new material in isolation, without taking up significantly more time. Say I've learned the word "muddy":
the muddy path -> to walk along the muddy path -> they walked along the muddy path -> to squelch along the muddy path -> they squelched along the muddy path, the trekker struggled along the muddy path -> the hunter struggled grimly along the muddy path -> the hunter strode grimly along the muddy path as night closed in etc etc.
You get the idea. Lots of scope for variation here, but by adding just one or two elements at a time to stuff you already know, you can work up to quite complex constructions without the reviews becoming too stressful, as they would if you tried to learn a lot of new elements at once.
Great and useful comment, thanks a bunch! =)
It sounded like he said gay, and he's hunting gays. Then asked "are you gay"
Thoughts on Anki / SRS? :)
The aim of the memorization is to be able to understand a text when you're in situation. For example, I'm French and unfortunately for me, I left English out even though I had a pretty good level, nay I was probably able to speak fluently with any English natives or English teachers. Therefore, I'm catching my level again in order to be able to speak fluently again. Just big thank you for Luca for all your device ! You're good man.
I do exactly the same when it comes to German.
I always break down this long words into their constituent parts.
I even understand these words not as single long words but rather separate words sticking together.
Sometimes I even forget about whether these words should stick together or not.
1:17 Ok, that was spooky. 😨
Thanks for your video! So, I have many translation lists in 5 languages all based on words that I have heard/read/seen over the past few years. Whenever there's a linguistic doubt/a new word that pops up, it will end up in one of my lists. So these are Excel lists that I update from time to time, i.e. I delete those that I know how to use or that are no longer relevant to me. However, these are simply words without context... do you think it would be better to make sentence lists rather than word lists? Thank you for your help!
My italian friend, i have subscribed. Gratzie por il conteudo!
WoW ..!!!! Luca, I love the new format of the videos... More quality video & audio, and very interesting content as always.
Am I unusual? I have to work hard to learn new vocabulary I come across in texts even if I copy them out. However, if I hear a new word in conversation or in a film etc I remember it really easily. I've even noticed that with texts which I have a recording for I remember new words much better if I listen and don't look at the text first than if I look at the text and listen.
You are probably more of an an auditive learner. I am the complete opposite, I have a hard time learning vocab by just listening and usually need a script or some visual aid
@@seherling207 That's interesting. I guess the thing is we have to remember when we watch 'how to learn a language' videos that we are all different and we have to try different ways to find out what works for you. There is no 'best way' which works for everyone.
Be honest...
You did look up this video
Wow! I absolutely love this new video series. Great information from the most impressive polyglot out there!
Thank you for making this fantastic video! I really enjoyed it😁. I'm going to try and use your techniques to improve my English. And in April I'm going to start learning Italian so it will be interesting to see how it works with a language I don't know at all.

Insanely useful tips for learning new vocabulary items! Thank you Luca for sharing such good tips with us! Cheers~~ XX
3:54 I'm german and I'm telling you I never heard that word
*(it surely is a german word and I also could tell it's meaning, Luca isn't lying, it's just prettty rare)*
Edit: Why is this comment so big? I wanted to make it so that this line ^ is folded in but now it's just 20cm beneath the first
as a belgian i can proudly say that i speak 4 languages at the age of 16 my first language is dutch then french english and german I think that has something to do with being "europian'. but it's still hard for me and many others to memorize certain words who are just more difficult and complex so thank you for your tips
1. Create a diagram that consists of different meanings of a word (to know the meaning of the word in different contexts)
2. Listening and reading at the same time (to recognize the meaning of both aspects)
3. Association (to make the new information get involved in or relevant with the old pieces of information)
4. Dynamic repetition (Use spaced repetition method in different ways ie: Just listening/reading/translating into mother language)
5. Deconstruction (Breakdown the long word into smaller parts and remember become much easier)
6. Note-taking (Note new words along with SPACE and TIME to make senses about the contexts)
7. Selection (Learn the words that relevant to your life, jobs, ie: In my case, that would be business words)
Septilinguist and totally agree. My favourite of these is deconstruction. My bf and I both have French as our second language, and we read together for practice. He can rarely guess th meanings of words, but I am good with patterns so I intuitively recognize the roots in words. In Japanese, my 5th language, many people hate the Chinese symbols used to write words. I love them. If you know a lot of them, you can recognize words you’ve never heard before, even when they aren’t written.
at this point im just commenting so you have more comments and reach more people. haha. again.... incredibly well done and very helpful
Thanks man ;-)
I'm learning English now, that is my first language I'm learning, despite Portuguese my native language
Orgoglio italiano! Continua così
Very engaging and edifying yet understandable and enjoyable, just subscribed after only watching this video on your channel. Your assistance in tackling the problem of vocabulary retention is invaluable, only need to implement these techniques into my daily routine. A big thank you to you 😀
I can't stop watching your overwhelming videos!!! You're our Italian Pride 💚🤍❤
I really appreciate your content! Can't wait to try it! it does make sense to me to incorporate those informations in my routine, but I still have to try as I said. I'm excited to see if really does help me! Now I know how to talk fluently already 3 langueges and currently studying Turkish so I'm glad to have found you to help me in this journey! 😚😄 Um abraço! 🇧🇷🇧🇷
I love your videos, Luca. They are incredibly helpful and keep me motivated to continue learning Português. Also, you’re super cute.
Excellent job, dear. You nailed it, except that my experience is to learn every new word you come across it because you will need it someday
Guys, i am learning english. Which languages are u learning?
I understood almost everything this man said
1:18
Are you a Christian?
Never even heard of the word "Freundschaftsbezeigung" and I'm german. Guess normal people would say "Freundschaftsbezeugung" instead of the strange (but obviously valid) version "-bezeigung".
I'm arab.. I speak Englisch German and currently learning Korean
I'd like to say thank you for this content. May God bless you and your family. New subscriber here.
This was great, thanks, been searching for "what should a 3 year old know academically?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Eanmanter Straightforward Equalizer - (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to teach your child to read minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my co-worker got excellent results with it.
Ok, I've captured that metaphorical castle, now I wanna see my enemies driven before me and hear the lamentations of their women...metaphorically speaking, of course
At 6:38, when you say "Always make sure that you mark the place and the time where it happened", do you mean that we should write the exact time (for example 5:12 pm) or simply the date?
Great question! The date is enough. For example, if you stumbled upon the word "stonewalled" when reading, saying, a novel (let's suppose it is Frankenstein's Mary Shelley) you would write: Chapter X - 06/10/2018 Stonewalled - X (meaning in your native language) + Example
I get that the idea here is to remember the time or place to help visually with word association. That’s how I would use it anyway.
I watched this video a few months ago. At that time I couldn't understand it without captions. Now I'm watching it for the second time, I can understand all of it without any captions.
Keep going!
Very useful
