I have found myself using the SRS less and less, and just focusing on reading and listening. Everything else just seems like a distraction when I could be learning in context right there in the app.
I don't think that the SRS from LingQ is useful, based on my own experience with the app, but the method of learning while reading and listening is really efficient
@@loistalagrand Is personal experience but i felt like i couldnt even get passed the first 2 sentences of the japanese and chinese units. When I open German, something i have zero experience with, i was easily able to complete multiple units and feel like i was learning. French, Italian etc all very easy for me given my spanish learning background. Just have no idea how to approach any of the other languages that dont use latin script, dont use spaces etc =P.
@The Language Scientist I spent a year's subscription on Portuguese with Carla, and that's exactly how I felt. One can tell the thought and production values are first rate, but the dialogue in which they speak during their skits is so fast that I can not keep up with it. Then, there's a laundry list of vocabulary words to learn for each chapter, most of which are not repeated. When my year was up, I switched to Pimsleur but, while that's a vast improvement, it's still not getting me where I want to be which is to be able to think in the language I'm learning.
@@glennover6046 stop using a curriculum. The people qualified to make them cost a boatload of money, so just grind graded readers and authentic content.
@@greglocker2124 I like your comments. What do you suggest doing in these 2 scenarios? 1/ Adult, native Spanish speaker, quasi-native level English and say level B1 in Italian. How can she start with French? 2/ Child, 8 years old, growing up biliterate Spanish+English, how can she learn French? Thank you very much.
I wouldn't worry too much about specifically studying conjugations. If you're compelled to do so, review them then move on. Don't try to memorize. You'll pick it up naturally as you keep reading and listening
There are some sites of native teachers explaining grammar. Or try and study it on your own (I did this). In French language, grammar is very important. Believe me, I speak French fluently- as well as my mother language. Grammar is crucial or you will not understand what you read and why words change that way. Bonne chance!
Not much. It is better to spend time on sites that really help you understand the language you want to learn. A language is not limited to vocabulary, so I would suggest to go and look elsewhere too.
Lingq is a paid tool, but by using my link, you can use it for free (to some extent). I'm also an affiliate, so I get free credits if you sign up for lingq.
I have tried it for Tagalog. I do not understand how just clicking unknown words magically makes one be fluent. Then picking a definition of an unknown word is insane. How would I know which translation is correct for the context. No one has a clear explanation as to how I will be fluent using it.
Lingq doesn't just translate a word. You can select an entire sentence, and it will translate for you. That way you will be able to understand the context.
@@mikekz2100yes, I knew how to translate. But how does endlessly clicking words that are not known eventually cause one to learn it? Also, the site asks to click a definition out of choiced. If I don't know what it means how do I know which to select?
@@GeorgeDeCarlo its not clicking the word. Its coming across and encountering the word over and over again that makes you learn or aqquire the word. Think of it as hitting a nail farther into wood. Every time you hit it, it gets deeper into the wood and is stronger and more secure. The more you see the word, the farther and stronger it becomes in your memory. Obviously im not just saying to look at a word ovet and over again every 2 seconds but just reading, and the more you come across a word, the more you will remember and know the word.
İf you dont click any blue.. when you press next page it will sense you know these words. Generally i click words that i dont know. Nothing to do if you know. Just press next page
I'm trying learn English ... My L1 is Portuguese, I'm from Brazil ... Many times I feeling lost to learn ... In momento I'm using APP Busuu and is good ... But I think "I need more input and less output" and the most people how learn a new language every learn audios and texts and the Lingq is good to this ... Sorry my English 😂 ...
I need to find some extension that will remove from my RUclips recommendations videos with title/preview "Can you speak language X fluently with tool Y", "How to speak language X fluently in [1 second - 3 years] ", etc. I don't want to watch this video, it just pisses me off because of the title. And are there people who actually think, “Can I speak fluently through LingQ?”, or Duolingo, or whatever? Maybe, just maybe, a better and more constructive question is: "How can I use tool X to improve the Z part of my language Y in X time"? Because all answers to questions like “Can you speak X fluently using Y tool” answer “No”. There is not a single tool in the world, with that you can become fluent. And what is fluency? Maybe it depends on the student's goals? No ? Fine. Nobody cares, we need clicks, more clicks, trends..... “LingQ is bad because you can't speak with it or it doesn't teach you grammar,” really? Maybe LingQ doesn't teach you how to speak or doesn't teach you grammar? Maybe LingQ is an input-based tool that allows you to simply track the language input? Improve your vocabulary using interesting content? No ? Ok, no problem. “You won't be able to speak fluently with Duolingo” or “Duolingo is terrible because you will learn the language much faster by studying it from textbooks, etc.” Really ? Maybe the goal of Duolingo is simply to give everyone the opportunity to learn a new languages and have fun? Just learn the language in the toilet instead of watching RUclips videos? Why not ? I now have an A0 level of Spanish just by using Duolingo. I know 300 words !!!! Not enough? For who ? That's enough for me, I enjoy process. Would I have started learning Spanish without Duolingo? Absolutely not. So what is the goal of individuals? Are you trying to be the best at everything? Maybe the viewer’s goal is to simply watch on RUclips how to become the best and do nothing? No ? But it seems I'm right. Creators want clicks, views... more radical questions and answers, almost zero questions like "How to achieve A0, A1, B1, B2..." in a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5+ years, no separate tools for each level, for reading, for speaking, for grammar, etc. There must be 1 super tool with which you can speak fluently!! Probably it's in the first comment, or in the description !!!! Less effort ? No, should be No effort. Become rich by learning X years with Y investment ? No, become rich now, without anything, etc ..... I’m angry, maybe the author of this video says something constructive, I don’t know, I don’t want to watch because of the title, I just wanted to write somewhere about my pain :)
I hate lingq for Latin American spanish for beginners…. it is a jumbled mix of Castilian and Latin American spanish…. no matter how similar they say these are for beginners they are not and it will frustrate you - vocab,pronunciation, and word arrangement are very different…stick to Rocket, Pimsleur and Memrise
@misscamay, I totally agree with you. Conventional wisdom is that it doesn't matter which Spanish you learn because they're all very similar, but I disagree. Perhaps if you're fluent, but not as a beginner. I'm at an A2/B1 level in Spanish, and I find apps, books, articles, etc in European Spanish confusing. I avoid them.
I don't like reading but I keep progressing so quickly on LingQ with vocabulary. Much faster than any other program so I feel that's the best way.
Many words per day did you usually learn?
@@yassoilcapo9952Usually anywhere from 10 to 60 a day depending how long I'm on it of course.
I have found myself using the SRS less and less, and just focusing on reading and listening. Everything else just seems like a distraction when I could be learning in context right there in the app.
Very good video. Since one can reach 5000 say in 2 years, do you see a reason to consider buying the LingQ Lifetime Plan? Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I'm considering using LingQ for my main resource.
Whats the coupon code ? It is filled in as "loislinn" but says not valid. What is the coupon code?
Please, could you tell me the Coupon code?
What do you mean by credits?
Would you say that rocket languages or a combination of pimsleur and lingq would be a better option for learning French as a beginner?
Pimsleur + Lingq is going to be lower effort. Rocket French is going to be more complete. If you are getting started, I would go for Rocket French.
@@loistalagrand ideal I’ll do that then, thank you for the response!
Start with whatever best suits you and then go and find sites by native teachers.
I don't think that the SRS from LingQ is useful, based on my own experience with the app, but the method of learning while reading and listening is really efficient
Thanks for sharing!
@@loistalagrand@kscaranari, would you still use LingQ if your exposure to the target language was, say, 85% listening and 15% reading? Thank you.
True, but elsewhere you get texts, exercises and grammar explanations. Besides, after some time, you can find texts and work on them on your own.
Lingq vs Pimsleur? Which do you recommend for a beginner?
I think you can combine both, Pimsleur is mostly to build your speaking skills.
LingQ is epic for an english speaker to learn Romance or Germanic languages. Everything else feels like being thrown too much in the deep end to me.
In what sense ?
@@loistalagrand Is personal experience but i felt like i couldnt even get passed the first 2 sentences of the japanese and chinese units. When I open German, something i have zero experience with, i was easily able to complete multiple units and feel like i was learning.
