I watched this video 3 months ago and I’m glad to say I procrastinated and have not improved at all ❤❤❤

Youve learned japanese and spanish at the same time or one after the other? Which one youve done first?

Any thoughts on how to find comprehensive input resources for the first few hundred hours? It’s been easy with dreaming Spanish but I have no idea what I’d do if I was learning a less common language like Mongolian.

Absolutely spot on Buster. I started acquiring Spanish in June. I've listened to nearly 1,200 hours of comprehensible input. I've been listening to 7+ hours everyday. My listening comprehension level is very advanced now. I watch a lot of native youtube content. Some movies and series are still a bit tricky in parts but I'm progressing every time. A lot of Spanish people say that they miss words when they watch them so I'll put that down to those speaking in the movies super fast and slurring their words. 😂 I've done the silent period where I haven't been speaking. The reason for this is to acquire a tremendous amount of input and also acquire a good accent in Spanish. If one tries speaking early they'll probably have that typical English accent while speaking in Spanish. I started practicing speaking with conversations around 3 weeks ago. I have around 40 speaking hours. It was difficult at first but the progression happens quite fast. Every hour I do I get better. The level I'm speaking at now is around B1 - B2. There are a lot of mistakes but that is totally normal. With more speaking practice and more input those mistakes will eventually be corrected. We all acquired our native languages in the same way. Language acquisition works without a doubt. If you're really interested in acquiring [ not learning ] a language give it a try.

This channel is slept on. Keep making videos of this quality and the algorithm will eventually catch one.

Yeah listening is very important but you can't learn to pronounce properly just by listening - you have to speak. And also, you can't learn to speak a language just by listening to it. It's been my experience anyway.

Constantly amazed how natural and effortless your English is, bro.

I switched most my videogames to Spanish because I hit a point where studying just didn't work for me anymore. I am now learning vocabulary and enhancing my overall understanding at hyperspeed.

Awesome content! But I feel like people waste too much time on vocabulary lists. Instead of memorizing thousands of words, we should focus on mastering the most common 500 words and actually using them in conversations. It’s way more effective than trying to learn everything at once. Anyone else agree?

Get to the point you keep repeating the same thing in most of your videos that I watched,

thank you buster for breaking the secret language redpill to me I have now traveled to egypt and can read hieroglyphics

This guy talks with his eyebrows

When I was in school, I used to score good marks in English. But I could not understand when I hear someone speaking English fluently. I started watching Indian TV programs in English because Indian accent is close to my native language. I started to understand Indian English. Slowly I could understand English accents from different countries. I can now watch American and British English films and UA-cam videos without any subtitles. You are absolutely right.

I always love to hear counterintuitive solutions, and the Earth is flat btw

I think I might have a problem. I've been trying to speak/write in English since basically the beginning of this year. The worst part is that I can feel that what I'm producing is clearly wrong but I can fix it. I know that the prepositions are wrong, the word order is kinda off and I simply don't know what should I do to fix it. Basically, I've been exposed to English since I was a kid. I was acquiring the language through videogames and YT videos. I can understand effortlessly everything that I consume in English , and yet, I can barely create sentences that don't have an unnatural feeling. Sometimes the words and structures don't come to mind, sometimes I choose words that don't fit the context. It's not effortless. Seeing so many polyglots who had only focused on input and who also achieved solid levels of speaking makes me feel that I've been wasting my time. I'm frustrated.

what’s the languages do you speak?

You should be careful how you use the term 'fluent'. Basic conversational fluency and almost native level fluency are VERY, VERY different things. Learning 'la lengua de las calles' while living among the natives is the only real way to become 'fluent'.

loved language transfer as well!

Good video. I trust my brain. I know, that while I' m trying to learn a language, my brain WILL learn that language. The only thing I have to do is to give opportunity to my brain to learn: through listening, reading.. And the only "method" which is useful: to pay attention, to be focused.

Hi thanks for the video

I get your point, but I disagree. Speaking on its own is a very noncommittal activity that gives you extra input (from prefrontal, motor cortex) to language related cortex. Will it be meaningful? I dont know. That said, shadowing is nearly 0 effort while you do input activities, so why not do it simultaneously? Now lets talk about actual outputting while speaking (just repeating what you hear or read is not real output or language generation). Speaking with actual output will certainly help, it will help you by training you to recall the word(s) that don't come naturally and turn them into actual active vocabulary. The same applies to other modalities of output. Additionally, practice on each will have a bigger impact on said modality. For example: I have a pretty good english comprehension and vocabulary when i receive input. But when it comes to output, since I dont write as much as I listen or read content, usually my vocabulary is much more limited when writing. Likewise, when I speak, which is a modality I seldom use, my English feels less natural, with poorer vocabulary than when writing. So I get your point, shadowing will not improve your language learning process meaningfully. But trying to talk and write on your own, thinking up the words and sentence structure will help your brain generate pathways to speed up and automatize language generation AKA output.

I'm only attracted to Caucasian boys, maybe a half-Asian half-white and that's it. ❤🥰

Had to subscribe because of that album cover behind your head, the concert is in a month. Keep up the good work

Being born in Europe helps lol. Just learning your neighbouring languages. And you’re basically a polyglot. I personally love to learn grammar. It’s fun to me. Like filling in blanks and so on. As a starting point is quite good and then just switch to media like books, music and videos.

Thank you a very good video and tips 🩷

I am impressed there is kiswahili proud🇰🇪

Buster this is so good thanks for sharing

it helps you retain the words, phrases, and grammer you've learned.

Thanks, nicely done.

Thank you, it's proper method for learning new languages at any level

Interesting.

It helps but donot depends in this app fully❤

I used Language Transfer for Spanish and it was alright. Similar approach that the Michel Thomas learning method uses. But I’ve recently started using Language Transfer for Greek and I don’t know if it’s because the app’s creator and teacher is Greek, but I’m finding this much more useful than the Spanish and very well set out. Very impressed that it’s free.

For me, it’s Rocket Languages. Audio courses where every lesson is a different topic. We can then role play as each character. It’s the one language app I have used every day in 2024. It’s not free, but they have 60% off deals during US holidays.

Thanks! I may try it.

Hi I am from India I like your video I want to talk to you live on video call or Google meet app

You have a point here!

Speaking the language in your head is helpful too. Or speaking it out loud when your on the bicycle, or any place without other people nearby. Reading out loud can be nice to improve.

I do want to point out that kids tend to speak from day 0, so i don't think they're a good example of "only listening". They get constantly corrected by the parents. Essentially they have a language teacher 24/7 that gives comprehensible input. And their input also tends to be much simpler, which allows them to be exposed to the languages in bites, rather than all at once.

You should look into Dr. Marvin J Brown. Basically Krashen but one step further.

Summary according to my analysis 1-) Listen more of that language. 2-) Expose yourself more to that language, could be like anyway as told in the video that you could watch videos of native speakers for rookies where they usually speak more slowly and with easy vocabulary. 3-) Practice daily no matter what, without consistency you can't achieve your goals. 4-) Believe in yourself and remember the moment when you will be speaking fluently. Good Luck guys with your journey!

So don’t have English subtitles on when watching in the target language

Should I use subtitles? Bc I feel like typically the subtitles are slower than the words and I also start to sort of tune out what’s being said bc I’m more focusing on reading.

Top secret elite GIA (Goak Intelligence Agency) type of language learning hacks for real

if say this shortly, Yes, Yes, Yes. It's waste you time. You should be learning words in context. Everything else in this app is absolutely useless bulshit. You waste your time you waste you money. Your motivation will drop and you will come back to learn the language after a very long period of time

Four months ago: watch a video in Russian. "How to learn languages?" Four months later: watch video in English language learning video. Yes, the first step what you need to do is to listen intensively to more than 600 hours of the target language. After that, do what you want to do. You will already have a solid foundation and will be ready to go there where you want and explore this language as you want.

You are right but i think is better if u study the basics stuff such as verbs, how to create a sentence etc... Then When you have the base u can start to watch something and surrounding yourself with the language.

I would like to ask you, did you have pressure when you were learning a language?
