  • Want to learn to speak Chinese like Black Dynamite? Who is Black Dynamite, anyway? Watch on.
    You need to SPEAK the language as much as possible, in addition to memorizing sentences. The way to do that is best in person, or, if you don't have any native speakers around, via a website called Italki:
    www.italki.com/
    Don't worry about embarrassing yourself. Embarrass yourself till kingdom come cuz that's the only way to get good: just as with exercise, no pain no gain.
    Again, no paid endorsements for any of these products, just stuff I've used and have found useful.
    Come help me out on Patreon so I can continue making better and better videos!

    This is SO TRUE. I would listen to SO much Spanish when I lived in Arizona and in Los Angeles for so many years, and I got good at listening and comprehending a lot. BUT.....it didn't do anything to help me speak it until I had to try it myself. And LOL! on 'go head and embarrass yourself while talking' --- great advice! Forget the ego and just do it. The security guard at work was helping me speak it, and I accidentally said something one day and his eyes opened wide and he said, "Ok, no, don't say it like that." Then he shook his head and laughed and said, "Don't EVER say that to anyone". Apparently, I said something very embarrassing!

    2:19 that's the exact situation I'm in with Indonesian.
    I was born and raised in Australia, so obviously I grew up speaking English as my native language.
    But my parents spoke Indonesian all the time, and so I got really good at listening and understanding Indonesian.
    I can understand most of what is said in a daily conversation in Indonesian, but when I try to speak it, the words just don't come to me as easily.

    • @iwashere583
      @iwashere583 3 года назад +1

      You're not alone! I'm also Indonesian and living abroad. Because of that, I grew up mostly learning English and I even would read books, speak to my friends and write in a diary all in English. I still try to do a little bit of learning Indonesian by recording myself talking in it and reading through posts of other people learning it in HiNative. I'm currently trying to improve on learning Arabic but Bahasa Indonesia is a big target language for me to learn, even though it's supposed to be my native language, lol.

I just don't know what to say it's also in my school they speak dutch I also speak it but not fluently or I don't understand it fluently for me it's an big problem like how can I succeed school when I don't understand or speak it fluently?

    It's taken me an embarrassingly long time to figure out how to speak in a language I don't know well. The key is to mine sentences from the things YOU say, think and write often. The easiest way to do this is to use whatever journal you normally write your opinions/thoughts in. If you don't have one you can easily start one. Because in the moment, when you're trying to figure out what to say in a foreign language, suddenly you can't remember the stuff you normally talk about?? (my experience)

      Im guessing he is from Tunisia. All of that is fairly common (minus the Turkish) in Tunisia. Good friend of mine is from Tunisia and all three languages are used quite often in the country. That is a great thing for your friend though, because he has the mindset of "I already know more than one language" he can learn another.
