    I've been watching your videos often to gain the courage to learn my indigenous language. I know Spanish and English due to colonization but want to learn K'iche'-maya to communicate with my community like my grandparents. I feel like I'm good at memorizing and imitating sounds of a language I just lose motivation to be consistent. Great videos!!!

    Dear Zoe, thank you so much for this helpful video! I'm a A1 level in German, and I feel that every time I did wrong thing to highlight the sentence I never could remember, and it made me so frustrated! Now I see my mistake! I will adapt this method, you explained, highlight simple!!!!! it was a key! I hope and a game changer!

    in brief:
    In this video, Zoe, a multilingual PhD student, shares her favorite note-taking techniques for different language learning levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced).
    She emphasizes the importance of being selective with the information you note down, organizing it, and highlighting it for easy review.
    For beginners, she recommends focusing on pronunciation, basic grammar structures, and frequent words.
    For intermediate and advanced learners, the principle of being selective still applies.
    Zoe suggests using different tools for different resources and levels: Excel sheets for beginners, Google Docs for tandem partners, Notability on iPad for language books and articles, and Reverso for new words from RUclips videos and Netflix.
    Zoe believes that Excel and Anki are more useful at the beginner level, while Google Docs, Reverso, Notability, and sometimes Anki are helpful for intermediate and advanced learners.
    She emphasizes the importance of reviewing notes regularly and building a habit of doing so.
    Zoe encourages experimenting with these tools and methods to find the most suitable one for your learning style and level.

    Hi bidemi from the Netherlands, you honestly have given me the motivation to become multilingual. I have always started with a goal but never gone through with it and stopping. But now given my kind of profession in international organisations I told myself, I AM GOING TO LEARN 3 languages at the same time; Spanish, french and Dutch. I will pick German but gradually despite people telling me not to, I just love Germany and Germans 😅, maybe would meet someone from there.
    Love your channel 💓

    Hi, Zoe just wanted to thank you for your videos, I'm constantly looking for improving my language learning routine and I find your videos helpful.
    I do use Anki for all the 6 languages I learn/speak and I noticed that you copy words from google sheets instead of simply importing them (In Google sheets: File -> Download -> Comma-separated values (.csv) and then just press "Import file" in Anki and choose that document it will update your old notes and add any new you have).
    Hope I also helped you to save a bit of time for new languages :)

    Already something new! I really love your videos because you shearing with us many differents methods what you are really try. Huge part of suggestions about note taking it's about writing and highlighting. Mean, it's what all we are already know from school. It's not only boring and wasted time but also too old for this centure. I'm really glad see your videos, how you honestly talk about your language learning journey and it's always not like teacher "you must do it and now i show up how do it properly" it's more about friendly advice from lovely friend.

      ​@@zoe.languages i use a new method recently by using spreadsheet like anki. So a column for the sentence from targeted language, the translation, a simple notes like grammar, the added date, the last date i reviewed, a notes ("v"-if i remember the sentence/words, "x " if i can't remember, "-" i don't review it yet). By adding the dates and the notes i can filter and review it like anki. I also install google translate and text to speech addon to the spreadsheet. So you can translate and hear the pronunciation just by blocking the sentences. You can review it everywhere like in the phone as well. It's less burdensome than anki. 😅

    Hi Dr/ Polyglot Zoe, I have a question about intonation. I am currently studying German on my own (let me know if any of you wanna connect). I seem to run into troubles with the intonation. My mother tongue is Vietnamese and it’s mostly single syllable. I have been using your shadowing method for 4 months now, but still no progress. Could you kindly do a video on copying the intonation or tips tricks on that topic?

      Hi, although this is an English intonation tutor but maybe you'll find her advices helpful (I do love her channel and use her advices in all the 6 languages I speak/learn)

    Can anyone tell me how to enable the Reverso csv download function? The three dots don't appear in my favourite page.
