Really nice to see an engineers approach to learning a language. Language learning community seems light on people who approach language learning from first principles
Great information! One thing that has helped me learning Spanish on RUclips was to slow down the audio. This was especially helpful where a teacher who is Asian was explaining something in Spanish, and I couldn't understand his point at normal speed due to the pitch of his voice and speed of talking. By slowing the video's audio down, I found his information to be clearer.
I'm not currently learning Spanish but I'm interested in learning other languages and all the tips in this video are very useful for language learning! Especially creating a new RUclips channel to avoid getting distracting recommandations! Thank you!
Thanks for these helpful tips and ideas. I use both high and low 'tech', meaning online resources, like RUclips, apps and others like print textbooks and paper notes. My methods involve reading, writing, reviewing, helping others (when 1 teaches, 2 + learn), speaking and listening. In terms of 'learning principles', I keep the following in mind: readiness to learn, 'quality' practice using themes/topics of interest or meaningful ones, at an appropriate level, setting goals in line with my motivation and getting feedback or monitoring my progress. Oh, and it has to be fun (most of the time) ! 🙂 Please keep making these videos and sending your emails!
I’m just returning to learning beginner spanish -for the first time with youtube in my arsenal. I think you made this video for me; it’s perfect! Thanks - I’ll be following your advice.
Terrific video! RUclips was (and is) my primary learning resource for Spanish and your videos were always a primary resource for me. Now that I'm learning Italian, RUclips is where I turn first. So funny that you picked Luisita to highlight...I love him. His videos were my benchmark for improvement of my comprehension. Language Reactor is indeed a wonderful learning tool, I use it all the time with RUclips and Netflix. I too use Anki for my vocabulary but I have never felt as though I am using it effectively. I create separate decks for different topics, like adjectives, the body and medical terms, travel, things around the house and garden, food, general vocab, etc. I would sure love a video on how you organize your Anki decks, whether you use different decks for different topics, etc. Even once I know a word, if I don't encounter it or use it for a long time, I will forget it. So I have to review regularly. That's one of the reasons I have words categorized in different decks. If I'm going on a trip, for example,I I can review my travel deck to make sure I remember the most important words and phrases. But I would love to know if there are better strategies!
I love the quality of this video! Love how you perfectly explained things and you gave me so much confidence to continue learning Spanish. You just earned a sub
bro, this is a great video. im both excited and overwhelmed by the mass of information available for spanish learners. its hard to proceed sometimes. great suggestions!! thank you!!
This was a helpful video. Thanks for uploading it. I’ve really enjoyed watching videos on your channel. To answer your question about how many words to study every day, I think it depends on several factors. For example, what stage you are in learning that language (beginner, intermediate, advanced), how many languages you are learning, and the amount of time you have to study. I’m studying Chinese and Spanish at the same time. I’ve found 25 words a day for Chinese and 10 to 15 words for Spanish are my limit. I break up the time studying them in smaller blocks instead of trying to learn them all at once.
Gran video. Muy útil. Me mudé al norte de México hace unos años y me resultó muy difícil entender a los hablantes nativos, incluso con 2 años de español en la escuela secundaria. La clase era "española" y no mexicana. Todavía tengo problemas y un video específico basado en "México" sería increíblemente útil. ¡Gracias por tu servicio!
Excellent video by someone who knows how to breakdown the *learning* of a language, and not just learning Spanish per se. Thanks for insights into your own process, and those browser addon tools. That Language Reactor looks really cool. All super useful.
Great video, we moved to Mexico a year ago and I have struggled with learning Spanish. Your ideas will help me greatly. I really like the Reactor addon. I just found your youtube channel a couple of weeks ago. Thanks
Ogółem to powodzenia w nauce języka polskiego - nawet jako native jestem w stanie zauważać jak ciężki czasami jest ten język i zakładam, że będzie bardzo trudny do nauki. Tak czy siak powodzenia bo będzie potrzebne :DD
This is such a good video. Nice work! Forvo and Language Reactor are the best. Similar to your Polish efforts, I've done this with German for a few years now and it's been a fun and effective way to learn.
Wow! Great video! I've been learning Spanish using duolingo now for about 5 years (on and off). This was when I started seeing my now wife (Argentinian). I'm currently in Argentina on a holiday and I now realise that I don't understand much at all. It's so exhausting sitting with spanish speaking people and trying to catch words. Occasionally, I'll catch a phrase but it's rare. I feel I need to start again with a structured course. Would you recommend your approach as outlined in your video or should I go and find an actual course? My wife is not good at teaching, either. Of course she is good to clarify words with but she doesn't know grammar rules. She just knows what sounds right.
With all of the videos out there, many are great too. Yet, in spite of this with regard to leaning Spanish, I just couldn't consolidate my feces about an organized approach to learning from youtube and yes, I studied intermediate in Barcelona for nine months and STILL, the teacher said I needed to repeat it. 16 tenses. I mean, really? That's the way it is. However, with your approach, and the videos, and worksheets with layouts I downloaded free from another Spanish video teacher, I think I can wrap this up pretty tight. So, thanks for this, it is extremely helpful. And dog's bullocks to you for learning Pol! OMG!
I have been watching Peppa Pig in peninsular Spanish (Castellano) and by clicking on the "...more" in the description it will show all of the description. At the bottom is "show transcript", by clicking on this, the transcript is shown to the right of the video. As the video progresses the current line is highlighted in the transcript and you can identify any words that were misheard. The system works quite well.
•Pachanga is a dance, as is Fandango. Pachanga started out as A lively style of Cuban music, a mixture of son montuno and merengue. · (Argentina, Cuba, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Uruguay) party, bash. •Fandango is a lively partner dance originating in Portugal and Spain, usually in triple meter, traditionally accompanied by guitars, castanets, or hand-clapping. Fandango can both be sung and danced. Now both mean Noisy Party :-) en Mexico
Love this video! One thing - @22:47 probably safer to say "*more accurate". As a video producer myself and having made subtitles for clients where accuracy was a chief concern, it is dangerous to assume even if there's a manually added srt (or subtitle file) that it's better than an auto-generated subtitle. It could in fact have been auto-generated not by RUclips but by Adobe Premiere or even Davinci Resolve which are both popular pieces of video editing software that offer auto-generation of subtitles. From my experience there can still be significant errors whether it's RUclips or the editor auto-generating the text. Some people vet their work for spelling and grammar but a lot of people put all the trust in the ai and just hit upload. The best case scenario is that someone checks the computer's work but not every creator has that time or a team to assign that very tedious task to. Just a thing to keep in mind because I've certainly noticed bad subtitling in my language learning through RUclips. I take the accuracy of subtitles with a grain of salt.
What are your tips for learning more than one language at a time? Since it seems like that is something you do? If that is not a good idea, when would be a good time to start a new language if you are getting burned out on the current language you are learning? thanks :)
I've found watching programs or movies in Spanish translation to be helpful. The Spanish is a little slower and much, much less idiomatic. I still want to upgrade to media for native speakers.
Yes, I watch movies from France and other countries, that are dubbed in Spanish. Very easy to understand. But an original Spanish or Mexican movie can be difficult. You do get used to it though. One thing that helps is to watch for 10 minutes just to get used to the speech patterns, then start again at the beginning and watch the whole movie.
The channel idea was a great thing at the beginning of the video..but...the title is misleading...you are learning spanish AND polish at the same time in this video...
Hola Mark, I hope it wasn't too misleading. My focus on this channel is helping Spanish students but I'm already advanced at Spanish so I wanted to start from zero in a new language to show what the process would look like at all stages of learning.
I am now want/plan learning language by translate, for example i want learn french/german, i went look for English story on RUclips, and then i translate it to the my target language, and later i speak it, like/like im working as translator, what's your opinion about it, it is effective? Sorry if my grammar broken
Andrew. Thank you as always for the very helpful information for language learning! Clarification please. For your language channels did you choose English as the main language and then the algorithm picked up from your video choices OR did you set up the channels in the language you are learning? Thank you for the answer. Best regards Christopher
Thanks for the question Christopher! You don't need to set a language in the settings, RUclips will just pick up on the videos you are watching on the channel and serve you more videos just like it.
Oh no, I wasn't trying to attack, I was trying to inspire. I also wanted to show you how to incorporate a few techniques to improve your language-learning process.
@@realfastspanish You're still my fav Spanish teacher on RUclips, Andrew!! These are indeed great resources - even for those inching forward at a slightly slower pace.

Yes, good point! There can be accuracy issues with human generated subtitles. But from my own experience they tend to be more accurate.

How about exploring memory nootropics that accelerate language learning? I have an idea where to start asking. Lucas Aoun over at Ergogenic Health.
I've never tried them, so I don't have an opinion.
whats your opinion on studying with the english phrase on the front of the flashcard then trying to translate into your target language
I like it 👍
