Video for language learning has the disadvantage that you have to sit there and watch it. But there are new ways to create language lessons from RUclips, Netflix etc. so that you can read and listen whenever and wherever you want.

Thanks alot Mr.Steve I follow you from Iraq . Keep going 💚
Mere listening to the videos does give the illusion that you have learned but rest and retest is proved to be the best way of information acquisition. Until you test yourself you have likely not learnt what you assume that you know.
Instead of studying my language I am watching every Steve notif. I just love Steve! Hahaha Stay safe! Fan from Philippines
@@lin7916 Hahaha
Thanks for your videos. It is very nice. I love your form to learning others language.
I am so happy to understand the most phrases that he is saying. My English listening skills has improved a lot : )
Netflix has been my main source of language learning since a long time now, I've lost track of how many times I've watched Grey's Anatomy in both English and French.
I've been trying Lupin to learn French, I'm only at the start though.
@@diobrando666 that's great man. You will definitely speak french with Netflix.
@@kinjizakora1665 Hopefully
I think that using the things you naturally do is a great way to study. So while importing into lingq and looking at transcripts is great. Watching tv and movies is great for foreign languages for who already love watching them in their own language. I consciously chose to no longer watch things in English and Japanese anymore and I watch things every day. This extensive passive watching gets my ears super used to the spoken language, so my listening skill is insanely better than any of my other skills. Other benefits of extensive watching include being able to hear things expressed in a natural way, pick up bits of culture, and as Steve mentions, you get a positive feeling and memory associated with the language. It also gives you something to chat about with natives, because if it is a popular show they will probably have seen it.
So, depending on your learning style, you can use watching shows as an intensive or extensive method.
Thanks for the tip Claire. I will use this.
Can you summarize all of that?
Good tips.
I think from my little experience:
Series ( 'cause in series we get repeated vocabularies) for communication.
books for gathering a lot of words.
mini-stories for pronunciation.
songs are riddled with repetition so music videos work great for language mastery if you have some idea and use the lyrics and do the translation first and then listen to the song hundreds of time.
@@sleepsmartsmashstress740 yeah, there are plenty, we just have to pick what work best for us.
@@sleepsmartsmashstress740 Just depends on the words... you'll learn a lot of words relating to love listening to music, because most songs are love songs
I've been learning Japanese from Netflix for few months, and the results is great!
One trick to expand the contact with your target language watching movies and series on a streaming service is selecting audio descriptions as idiom. In this way, all the action will be narrated like an audiobook.
besides that the audio description shows the name of the current played song as well
it is awesome advice,I am sad I discover it now and not 1.5 year ago :( but better late than never
6 months in and I learn this . Thanks!
I really like leaning languages on RUclips. I’m right now leaning Japanese. 日本語を勉強しています。
Hello Steve!
Thanks for the inspiration you gave me, and also for lingq!
I am Italian and I am try to learn some German for work purpose mainly. But you let me believe it was possible learn a 3rd language eventhough I struggled with English a lot in the past!
Thanks again!
P.s. tanti dei podcast di "alle otto della sera" che so hai apprezzato tanto sono dello storico Alessandro Barbero, che qui in italia ormai è una star della divulgazione. Ottima scelta per le tue lezioni di italiano! (E storia)
These tools are truly powerful, Steve. A thousand thanks 🙏🏻
You deserve billions thumbs up, great inspiration for us all, we love you Steve ,, peace
Agree! Can’t say better! I feel like an idiot knowing only 4 languages. I thought I’m good! Apparently I’m not good enough. I’m in love with Steve’s videos and his inspiring ideas about how to learn new language.
❤️❤️❤️.
I’m on to learning Arabic. Wish me luck🙏. #5 for me.
In shaa Allah👍.
Shukran Steve!
@@amillia222 Good luck with your Arabic😊. Arabic is one of my languages too. There's no need to feel stupid for knowing four languages. Most people only know one or two at max. Knowing four already is quite a task for majority. Which are the languages you know/speak if I may ask?
@@a.r.4707 I thank you for your words! I exaggerated a little about feeling stupid, but I did say it when comparing Mr. Steve polyglots ability vs my own. I still think this way only about myself.
I speak every day for 30 years in English, fluent in Russian, Lithuanian and Ukrainian. Studied a little Polish language for several years, when I had polish tennis trainer. But I only understand it well, can’t speak fluently.
Wish you luck and all best👍👋.
@@amillia222 You are the most welcome. Are you Russian or Ukrainian originally if I may ask? I'm Finnish by myself and I speak some few languages as well. Thank you for your comment😊.
¡Qué hermosa era para aprender idiomas! Estoy enamorada de todas las posibilidades a nuestra disposición, es solo saber aprovecharlas 🌿🌱🌈😊🏄♀️🤸♀️ Gracias Steve
Como estas mi Amiga. I love Spanish but then I also love another 20 idiomas. Au revoir Adieus or adios.

I wish that streaming services (Netflix), would have the audio and the subtiltes match. English is the only one that has the “closed caption”. If I try french, the french audio and subtitles do not match. I know it may have been provided by different companies, but it would be a game changer if all audio languages had the exact match in the subtitles version.
Yup, I've noticed this. Drives me freaking bonkers.
This gentleman is very wise. I wish he was my teacher in my applied lingusitics class.
One thing I have found is other countries' TV services have created versions of American shows adapted to their country's culture. Dutch TV for example has Toen Was Geluuk Geel Gewoon, which is a copy of The Honeymooners and Sam Sam, which is based on Man About The House/Three's Company. Using a show based one something you are already familiar with helps.
Thank you for sharing, Dear Professor. That is really useful.
Steve sure is a very Dear Professor of a lot of things May he live long or at least keep posting for long time to come.
Thank you, Steve. Great tips. Very useful tools.
I've come across some podcasts in my target language a few weeks ago. It's a fantastic resource.
Yeah podcasts rock really. I favour them as well😀.
A big reason why i started learning more languages is because i often got non English recommendations or my search results where not in English i really don't think i would have been learning anything apart from English and maybe french and German because of my region if we where all still living in the pre internet years.
Thank you very much Mr. Steve kaufmann.
I'm english student, usually i use RUclips to inprove my skills but i consider that the most important is watch videos that are interesting for you.
Yeah, i am learning russian and i cant get myself to sit and spend time with language learning drills. I just want to sorround myself with the language
@@Tiogar60 hello, Tiogar! I'm native russian speaker, and I'm learning English now. Wouldn't you like to have a pen friend from Russia, who could tell about Russian RUclips, films, cultureand language?) I think we could to be very useful for each other
As I meet people in Thailand, I notice some have much better English than others. I always ask those people what they did to improve their English, and a common answer is that they watched many English TV series. So I do think it really helps. (Other answers include living abroad, dating a foreigner, or having an international job.)
There are Egyptian Radio drama in this channel

I liked your description at 3:06 about meeting your family when you watch a series.
Great inspiration for usss love you from morrocooo
MANY THANKS
Great tips thanks
Thanks Steve
Audio and substitles both in the target language is the way to go. However, you'll need to be at certain level already to understand the gist of it.
Thanks
@New Apollo you're welcome
What if you're complete beginner? Nothing makes sense
I'm conviced about learning a language with youtube or netflix, however it depends on the language you learn. I'm learning czech right now, and there are not a lot of videos with czech subtitles. Or if they exist, like with czech television, they aren't supported by any grabbing tools. As netflix and youtube only support about a dozen languages, only the most popular for these on this platforms are a way to use them. This is a dilema and because transcribing by hand is a process that takes a lot of effort, most youtubers and streaming services aren't doing it for smaller countries or communities.
If it is content you really want to understand, this effort might be worth it to transcribe it by yourselve, as trying to transcribe can really boost language learning. But in case of consuming a foreign language to get a lot of input, it's not an option, as it might take several days for just a 30 minute film.
For some languages, like czech, you have some letters that are written different but sound the same, like 'i' and 'y'. Then it's getting even more difficult to find out what is being said...
Try search for movies on other platforms or in RUclips. That's what I did since there weren't many movies in Hungarian.
I can’t describe how many English words and phrases Joey or Ross or even Sheldon teach me in their tv series, it’s really an amazing journal and feel like home every time I go back to enjoy those shows.
These tools are very good! I'll use them for my tutors.
I've wanted to use Netflix for learning Greek, it turned that some countries don't provide their rights on audio to others. Greek audio works only in Greece (maybe in Cyprus too)
Excellent tips.
Hello from Brazil! Thanks.
Ich lerne gerne Deutsch. Vielen herzlichen Dank!
merhaba steve
Türkçe bildiğinizi düşünerek kendi dilimde yazmak istedim :) öncelikle ingilizcemi geliştirmem konusunda sizin videolarınızın cok büyük yardımı olduğunu söylemek istiyorum. Bana bu sürecte büyük motivasyon ve güc verdiğiniz için cok cok teşekür ederim. Aklıma takılan bir soru var düzenli olarak grammer okuma ve dinleme çalışıyorum fakat konuşmamın ne zaman daha iyi daha kolay hale geleceğini merak ediyorum cümle oluşturmakta hala cok büyük sıkıntı duyuyorum..
I'm just sort of shifting my YT videos toward target languages.... cleaning vlogs? Thai. Travel vlogs? French.
We ❤ you!
Uma boa noite do Brasil!
boa!
你好Steve, have you released the extension (linkQ) for Netflix safari like for chrome yet? So we can have two subtitles when watching the program. 谢谢。
NICE
I wish LingQ video worked more LinkedIn language reactor with the hover dictionary above subtitles
I prefer watching old movies and TV series because their makers focused on drama & dialogue, unlike contemporary works that focus on action and cheap jokes. There's more to learn from the oldies.
You said once under one of Steve's videos that in Egypt itself there are many dialects, for example the TV show recommended to Steve by his tutor has flashbacks in 20s of previous century in which the heroine is from the countryside and the rest of the characters from Alexandria
So what's your opinion is it easy for beginners or confusing
What do you suggest from classic TV drama
And classic movies
@@maa7528 In my opinion, a beginner should focus on the standard or most commonly used dialect (Cairene in the case of Egypt), then moving on towards Intermediate he should start listening to other dialects in order to be able to understand all of them.
Are you asking for recommendations from Egyptian classics or English ones?
@@islamadam8502 you are totally right the Egyptian dialect in the countryside and the one in Alexandria in the past are difficult
I mean what do you recommend from classic Egyptian tv or classic Egyptian movies
@@maa7528 Movies like:
سفير جهنم
خاتم سليمان
غزل البنات
إسماعيل يس في الأسطول
TV series like:
الأيام
عائلة شلش
الوسية
لن أعيش في جلباب أبي
@@islamadam8502
I will watch the first two movies
Regarding the TV series I will watch عائلة شلش
But
الوسية
Is in the countryside so it's dialect would be difficult
Also these are good
هند و الدكتور نعمان
عائلة الحاج متولي
Thanks
In the thumbnail Steve added different platforms and that reminds me how easier it gets to focus on our language learning if we give up most of social media. We are all used to speak/write incorrectly in our native language so it's likely that many of the written content on many Platforms will contain mistakes (English Speakers often make mistakes and they don't even realize it, I have to be careful not to pick up those mistakes)
I am using French movies and TV in my efforts to learn French. I am not as systematic about it as Steve.
I have a question, but first here is my approach. I find content from various places, mostly from MHz TV, but also places like Netflix and internet TV content using a VPN. For a lot of the shows I use English subtitles if available. (I know, it's probably not the best idea to use English subtitles, but it helps me follow what's going on in the episode, and to some degree it can help me associate French spoken words with English written words.) I am averaging about 60 minutes per day wat.
Here's my question. If I were to roughly equate sixty minutes of TV watching to an equivalent minutes of study, what conversion factor would be a reasonable guess? My guess is that 60 minutes is probably about as useful as 6 minutes of study.
If it's somewhat more or somewhat less than my proposed 1:10 ratio it won't matter too much in my case because TV and movie watching is only part of my efforts to learn French, maybe about 10 or 15% if I use the 1:10 ratio for estimating equivalence between videos and regular study.
What do you think?
The import extension hasn't been working for me recently on Netflix. Any reason why?

J'aime utiliser l'extension Language Learning with Netflix and RUclips.
what about books? Are there any intresting and easy foк reading books?
this is basically how i learned english, watching cartoons in english with subtitles.
I am improving And updating my english coz language changes every day.
hello i would ask you that because i am strugling with a huge mind war " can i reach a heigh level in english that may allow me be an english teacher while i am i am forty years old... is there any probability ??
From zero to hero.
Is this kinda app?
Where can I find it?
Can anyone clarify the use of subtitles? I've heard it said that you should have the subtitles in the target language as well, not in your native tongue, but I haven't heard Steve clearly articulate that. Is that the case (i.e. audio and subtitles should be in the same language as opposed to subtitles being in your native tongue)?
personally I have the audio and subtitles in my target language. I know like 10% of the language so I would learn new words from looking at the subtitles and forming sentences with the words I already know.
Hi Teacher 👋
There is a lot of ways to learn lenguages
In class but isn't efficient
Too there are more ways to learn fast
With anki, or with lingQ or duolingo
Also reading, watching anime, videos in RUclips, in the country you travel with series, with a lot
But the best way is the way that you want and is eficient
In my case i was trying to learn german with videos to childrens and it work but tiene are more ways also i can use duolingo or lingQ but in my case i want learn only with contened that is interesting for my
And it work a lot
Then we can learn by a lot of way
Later i could use lingQ to learn chinesse or write but lingQ is more interested for me, then i can use to chinese linQ
Then i can soy that Steve have the reason that we can learn for very much ways, but we have to take something that we love
But not only a resourse we can take class and by duolingo or something if we want but we can learn by only inmersión, and is very much eficient and
Then we need take resourses that work and too that we love
Also me english i learn it with duolingo and inmersión with videos and series that i love,
And i can talk that we can use very much ways that works we have to take ways that work , and that we love
I am spanish and this is my english
I could make mistakes but i am learning, and i can improve myself more

Mcafee is the actual virus.
Which channel would you recommend for japanese learning?
Most people benefit most from Japanese cartoon animes and actually learn Japanese to enjoy those cartoon series. Try them I am learning Japanese but I am not into anime just music videos.
Sir I'm new to language learning so plz suggest me the first step of learning...
Type in your desired language in RUclips and watch the videos that come up.
Hi steve Kaufman I need subtitles in Italian for understand your video thanks 😊
Thank you Steve Kqufmann you are awesome
I have a question that always haunts me.
Years ago, how did you study vocabulary without google translate? When you read how to look up the meanings of words. Do you use a classic dictionary? who is slow to find words
Yes, all of those things but mostly used text books or readers that had glossaries for every chapter or lesson.
Language learning was a nightmare before the Internet but the web and Google has made a huge huge difference.
In android?
I had to with subtitles, Thank you advice leave a review(this word really is not "comment"?)
Türkçen nasıl gidiyor usta?
I enjoyed watching a Brazilian series called "3%" with Learning languages with Netflix in both Portuguese and then under that was English. So I was listening (didn't understand most things) while also reading in Portuguese and quickly reading some of the English. It got very difficult of course cause it's a fast pace show so they talked fast and eventually I just gave up reading the translations and read only Portuguese and was eventually able to somewhat keep up (not knowing a lot of things, but enough to understand the show from reading and seeing what's happening)
Steve, you might consider a lavalier microphone so we can hear you speak better.
I can understand turkish series just through watching
Me too Turkish is easiest language at all .
@@AliHussain-bj3cc it is very logical
@@AliHussain-bj3cc It's not the easiest for everyone. It depends really.
@@AliHussain-bj3cc A small correction bro: Turkish is the easiest language from all or from all the languages Turkish is the easiest.
@@a.r.4707 For me as a native speaker of Arabic , Turkish is the easiest one .
To use it you have to give it permission to access everything on your computer including passwords and banking info? what the actual heck.
But the thing is, Netflix shows doesn't have the exact subtitles, they only match the meaning, not the actors' words.
I find that rather annoying, I don't think you can effectively use Netflix unless you're intermediary level of your target language.
This is a big problem with almost every Russian language dub on Netflix. The dub and the sub seem to come from 2 separate translations.
Yeah, if the show is dub, the subtitles won’t match. You have to look for a show originally made in the language you’re studying. Then, you’ll see a option of CC subtitles. There’s a very interesting Russian show on Netflix called “better than us”
True. However it's not only Netflix that does that unfortunately. 😏
@@katewaters5092 Interestingly, when I googleed for subtitles, I got tons of different subtitles and they were all different! And none of them match the words.
I feel its kind of interesting. It Shows you that you already know some particular words so you can see, that the subtitle says something else.
I want a person to pratice in english please
Sr Steve tienes un regalo 🎁 un vídeo bien hecho 👍🏿 en Arabic con subtítulos encima en cosas importantes política..estoy aprendiendo neerlandés y solo escucho ruedo como tú dices pero aguanto poco poco no sé cuanto va dorar este sufrimiento gracias 🙏 ruclips.net/video/CiLsCmYA0Uc/видео.html
Learning Languages with Netflix & RUclips is for the brilliant minds. I learned my French merely by watching TV with subtitles. I used to watch the English version of the CBC news followed by the French version. It only works if the person is bright and self driven and can pick up from the context what the words means. It helps if you speak 4-5 languages already. It does become easy to keep adding more after you masters 6-8 languages where most polyglots are at. Majority of the language learners are TRANSLATORS and Netflix RUclips or TV with subs wont work well for them. They need texts and teachers . I never used any text book, notes, teachers courses where you pay fees. Being the top 3% of the neurologists of US and Canada helped I have an IQ of 169 to help me and I plan to be sharp and witty at 69
