Since I mention my journey of making videos, would you be so kind and give me genuine feedback (good or bad) on my video(s), especially if you have watched more than one? would love to know your experience and my room for improvement! :)
Interesting and valuable content as usual 👏 The examples are helping to make it less abstract and easier to understand 👍 Waw around 20h to produce ~7min¼ 😱 It's necessary to spend around 166 times more time for each second of the final performance! Naively I wouldn't have expected so much but that makes sense actually. Learning guitar, I guess it's even much more ! 😅🙈 Habit n°2 help me a lot with that: everything sounds usually crappy at the beginning because everything is new and complex and I'm still not aware about all what I'm doing wrong. Breaking it down however analyzing my way of playing is the fuel for the iterative improvement engine started with training sessions. Anyway, the 3 first habits seem to me to be related to the KISS principle what is really valuable 👍
Thank you very much, I'm happy to hear that you found it valuable and that the examples are useful! Indeed making videos is very time consuming, I know that some of the bigger channels have dedicated video editors and the video editing alone takes 5 days or more. While for me being on the smaller scale, the whole process from start to finish still takes 4 days. But it's enjoyable and very rewarding when I hear people like you saying that they find value in it :) Btw, for me personally I found what worked best for learning instruments (piano in my case) is starting with one piece and practicing different skills around that piece daily (e.g. scales, rhythm, cords, sightreading... etc), but of course that may not work for everyone as some people get bored if they need to stick to one piece for a longer time :)

Hi
amazing video!!
I am Krishna english is my problem
I am Krishna from India english is my problem
What do you mostly struggle with? :)
A lot of wisdom in this channel this is very helpful against potential self sabotaging thanks a lot ! 🙏 Lowering the expectations is really a productive solution in order to still be doing some steps at all even it small rather than procrastinating 👍 Regarding system, I personnally have the impression that I still need to think a bit about it not everytime but sometimes. Of course it could be that my system is not suffiently defined as you expalined but after several month I think it could be also the improvements resulting from the regular practice. Maybe that's a sign that we're changing from a beginner to an intermediary state 🤔😊
Thanks so much, glad you found something valuable here! :) Indeed systems are not necessarily for everybody, and sometimes a loose system with a certain degree of flexibility is still better than letting things float in the air completely. It all depends of course on how serious one is in sticking to certain habits or reaching certain goals. The more serious you are, the more you could benefit from structure. Best wishes for you!

Hello Mam I Visited your UA-cam channel and noticed it ranks lower than others. SEO seems to be lacking, though your content is fantastic. Wondering why your videos aren't attracting more views? One key factor is insufficient SEO (your videos' SEO score is 20/100%, that's why your video is not reaching out to the people and you do not have many subscribers, views, likes, watch time, and comments. I also noticed that your video thumbnail was good. If you'd like, I can assist you with improving it. I think your UA-cam channel will make your dream come true.

Hello
Iam 200 subscriber your channel 🎉
Awesome, welcome on board!
Great video!! What camera are you using?
Thank you very much! Just the camera of iPhone 15 pro :)
The bottom line is paying someone? There is too much sales pitch to pick the pockets of the viewers. My 2 cents worth only suggests a viewer get a book or two and an app and I receive nothing for any book suggestions.Thank you. Merci.
I am not sure how it can be deduced that this is the bottom line :) personally I don’t get any benefit from mentioning tools and resources people could use to supplement their learning, but I completely understand your stance in today's world where everyone is trying to sell you something :) if there was anything that is sponsored, it would’ve been mentioned clearly.
No. No it is not. No clue how you came to that conclusion from this video.
My 2 cents worth. I am learning french. People do not need a marine drill sargent of regimentation to achieve goals. We are not robots, androids, or AI machines. Start simple, study several times a week, have general goals, study at small intervals and build upon that. Learn the alphabet, write down 3 to 5 words for each letter of the alphabet that you think you can recite back quickly, learn a few catch phrases, do some role playing for basic situations. Be able to recite the letters of the alphabet, plus be able to recite the letters of your name. Practice speaking where you live, give the number and be able to recite the letters of the name where you live. A general goal would be to be conversant in french to speak to french Canadians, and a little more specific, attain A1 proficiency in 1 year. I recommended having 1 or 2 favorite books to study from, (French in 10 minutes a day), and the (Oxford picture dictionary)1 app, Learn french for example which has text tutorials and quizzes. The roadmap to study is a syllabus for a1 to c2 learning. I submit the table is set!
I completely agree, setting small achievable goals is key. I don’t think that setting aside 30 min daily or however the frequency that is convenient for you makes you a robot, but consistency is key to getting anything in life in my opinion :) it’s also worth distinguishing between being a casual learner and a serious learner, obviously someone who only wants to spend time with the language occasionally is different than someone with a clear goal and time frame. No right or wrong way of doing anything, everyone does what works for them :)
❤❤
Is that a microphone or Casanova's fluff? Another great video!
He donated some fluff to serve as a windshield for my mic :D
Also, I thought that stress is good to release the best ideas to solve a problem?!
I think here it is important to distinguish between positive stress or "eustress" that can, in small doses under a short amount of time, stimulate our "hero factor" or survival instinct when your brain gets in the state of "I need to do this to survive", therefore you outperform yourself and produce solutions you could have never thought of otherwise. This is triggered by extraordinary situations that surpass a certain threshold. On the other hand, chronic stress or stress that does not reach that survival instinct threshold, is quite damaging and demotivating. It feels bad and unproductive, and your brain will try to avoid feeling that way, so you avoid the task entirely or just try to do it half-heartedly to get done as fast as possible and go back to the things that feel good. If you make the task feel good however, there's nothing to avoid and your brain is relaxed, and that is when it blesses you with creative ideas and solutions.
Can chatgbt help with less famous languages such as Estonian? 😉
I think that will depend on how much training data it received. I think it performs best on the most used languages, but for more niche ones it's important to supplement the learning with external resources (as is always the case anyway). But, at the very least, it will still be able to make a learning plan and provide word clouds if you supply it with input etc. By creating your own GPT with a rich knowledge base of Estonian learning material it can be a very useful companion!
This is such an underrated, concise, and well-spoken video!
Thanks so much, happy to hear you found it valuable <3

Question: how can you measure your own knowledge? How do you know how much you know about a certain subject like a foreign language for example? You can take language proficiency tests but you need to pay for them, and they are usually offered only a few times a year. There may be free tests, quizzes, exams on the internet, but the quality of these tests may be suspicious. Even if you could get high scores on these tests, that may mean very little. I have been studying Swedish for the past 3 years every day for an hour, mostly by translating song lyrics. I keep track of the number of songs I can translate in one hour. Right now on average I can translate 8 songs per hour. Even though I am mostly reviewing songs that I had translated before, there are always words that I don't remember or I am not sure and I want to check in the dictionary. My goal is to become faster and faster to a point that I can read entire texts without consulting the dictionary. But there should be a better way to test or measure my own knowledge. I am against using ANKI or flashcards to learn a language. But at the same time, tests like flashcards seem to be the only way to measure your knowledge of a certain subject. How can you measure your knowledge without using tests, quizzes or exams? For example, many youtubers claim to be fluent in a foreign language. But they may offer no concrete or objective evidence or proof of that claim They may say a few sentences in the foreign language, but that doesn't mean they are fluent, it just means that they memorized those few sentences. How can you objectively and precisely measure someone's knowledge without using tests, quizzes or exams? Is that even possible?
That is a great point! I think there are several points to measure how proficient you are at a language. Knowing words is certainly great, for example what you are doing with translating song lyrics, but the other areas include writing, speaking and grammar. To me, I consider myself proficient at a language if I can effortlessly think in that language, answer questions on the fly, and express my thoughts freely (in writing or speech) in that language. I wonder how you would rate yourself in Swedish using those other metrics than vocabulary? :) Can you express your thoughts freely in Swedish?
@@CasanovaExplains Thanks for replying! I don't even try to think in Swedish, so I don't know. But I am looking for a way to measure precisely how much I may know about a subject. One way is maybe to count the number of unknown words in a random text. When reading a text, I can count the number of unknown words I need to look up in the dictionary. Then I can count the total number of words in the text and calculate the percentage of unknown words. The text does not need to be long, it can be just a few paragraphs. So I can calculate the percentage in a few minutes. It is very easy to do, it can be done any time, on myself or other people. Even if the text is specialized or technical, repeating the calculations with different texts will give on average the same result.
But you see, here again you are measuring proficiency based on vocab, which isn't really an accurate measure :) If you don't have an understanding of how the language works, how grammar changes the meaning of sentence, the syntax etc, then again you cannot say you are proficient at the language. If you wish to quantify it, then you need to take into account all aspects of a language, speaking, writing, grammar and vocab. One alone isn't enough :) Perhaps you could try a placement test that tells you which level you are at, these tests don't tend to measure speaking but they could provide a good estimate. Normally language schools offer them for free on their websites :)
@@CasanovaExplains Well, in any language grammar is usually relatively simple. The single biggest obstacle to learn a foreign language is vocabulary. Acquiring a large vocabulary of thousands of words takes a long time, years and years of hard work. And proficiency is pretty much the size of the vocabulary. If you have a large vocabulary you are able to say anything you want, and you are also able to understand native speakers, even if you make some mistakes in grammar. Without vocabulary you will not be able to communicate, not matter how good your grammar may be.
Please make a video for learning English
Will do! :)
Ok, I gave it this prompt: please give me a dual language (Lithuanian and English) one month lease agreement for a flat with rent set at 400 euros and the value of the flat set at 100,000 euros. I want the lease to be complete and standard, not shortened. And it gave me a very short lease that named both parties the Tenant in Lithuanian; it put the flat in Vilnius, but put Lithuanian as the second language, it provided that the contract was governed by the laws of Lithuania, but did not set Lithuanian as the primary language, it did state that the tenant was responsible for damages, but did not set a limit based on the value of the flat or a mechanism for reimbursement including deductions from the deposit demanded, it set a one month notice for terminating the lease (the starting date was open, so perhaps that is why), and last, it translated 'in witness thereof' into Lithuanian so poorly that I doubt anyone could understand it. Lithuanian phrases it far differently. So, this 'document' had no validity (too incomplete) and was of no training value either as it would have done little to prepare the reader for a real contract in Lithuanian, which uses far more complex sentences in this case.
Ok, I tried it. Prompt 3 yielded a list with no translations and no story. So, no idea what I am supposed to do with that. If I didn't know the words, it would be too little information to learn them and if I did know them, then the list was too limited to be of value. For example, it had table but not chair, water but not water glass or pitcher. Prompt 4 did fix the above issue but the sentences were overly simple, e.g., The cat chased the Dog. or The cat has eaten. This is ok for a graded reader but it does nothing to prepare one for the real language with subordinate clauses, prepositional phrases, participial phrases, compound sentences, etc. While the structure was not incorrect, it did not reflect the actual grammar used in the target language. Prompt 5. Hello, can you show me your passport? me: of course I made a point of answering with single word answers, which was easy, given the questions. Basically, it was phrasebook level. At the hotel, I was assigned a room (no reservation), but price was never mentioned. It did use a subjunctive, but the above example should be in the imperative as 'can you ...?' is open to abuse 'Yes, I can, but I won't.' Last, I tried prompt 11. The sentences were longer and more complex (subordinate clauses and compound sentences) but still with no participles or adjectives. The mistakes were all endings, not choice of words. The text was a description of my arrival (somehow) in a city where I hailed a cab, which is out of date in the target country. (The wrong word would have been the wrong word for hail, not a totally different concept (book or ordered.) So, I would say, based on the results, that it is ok if you are trying to develop a tourist level knowledge of the language, but it is not going to do much of anything if you are serious about a language.
Thank you for sharing your experience! sorry to hear you had a suboptimal experience! Have you been using GPT4o? Also: please note that prompt 3 generates a word cloud of the most COMMON words (i.e. most suited for beginners), it is not meant to generate translations but just a visualisation to use in addition to a table you have where you mapped those words to translations and examples :) You can always tell ChatGPT the language level you are at and at what level it should generate the material! the examples given were assuming the person was a beginner :)
@@CasanovaExplains The first two or perhaps three questions were 4.0, the rest 3. I see no reason to buy it as I have found no use for it beyond what is free. Where it was successful was in giving the translation and principal parts for word lists. Ok, in German chair is no. 1661, Table 529 (not a chart), glass (for water) 885, wine 1736. So, for German, chair should have been included, wine perhaps not. In Lithuanian, chair 2281, table 713, glass (stikline) 2365, wine 2338, wineglass 1011. But this is by the frequency dictionaries. Being able to ask for another chair or a glass of water seems pretty essential to me. I know, 50 words seems an insane amount since a textbook usually has only about 20 and overall lists some 800 words best case scenario. The reality is that you need thousands of words for basic fluency and normal restaurant conversation is perhaps some 500 words. That list included no verbs or adjectives, for example. To me learning a language is reaching something like B2, at the least B1. But we have a major disagreement over how to do that. I start with real texts with full grammar and vocabulary because so much is not included in textbooks and dictionaries. Thus, the only way to learn it is to start full throttle. And I start only foreign language to native because I need to learn the real patterns, not translate my patterns into another language. In addition, in English, I can write, 'He tabled the table on the table.' (yes, a stretch, but possible) But in other languages, those are three different words, not one. So if I am learning Lithuanian as an English speaker, it is less confusing to learn table three times in specific contexts where I feel the meaning than it is to learn it once with three words composed of random sounds and no context.
@@CasanovaExplains To avoid deletion for oversized replies. I realised that it was assuming I was at a low level, which is why I asked for a full contract in Lithuanian and English, but it gave me an unusable English and Lithuanian scaled-down version. But it very clearly highlighted the worst problem, i.e., the Lithuanian was fake, a translation of the English, and not real Lithuanian. In other words, your technique works for someone learning English as that is its base language. Other languages are reached through translation, not frequency mining. This is a huge problem in Lithuania, which is why the programme is not popular here. In other words, native Lithuanians corresponding in faultless Lithuanian with ChatGPT receive very poorly worded answers. You don't get higher level input than that. ChatGPT thinks in English and possibly only English. So, what is the point in learning incorrect Lithuanian? Not only will people have trouble understanding your accent, the words themselves may make no sense. Then they will insist on you speaking English. The English programmes here have their issues, but they start early and in some subjects, once one reaches a certain level, the literature may not have been translated yet. Thus, their vocabulary is going to be in the thousands, not in the hundreds of words.
No, actually. ChatGPT is a large language model, it does not work by translating, it works by being trained on large corpses of text from the internet and textbooks etc. Therefore, as you would expect, it excels at languages for which it had plenty of training material (obviously, English taking the lead), and not so much at niche languages of which it hadn't seen much. The model is as good as its training material. Poor training material e.g. text from the internet with lots of mistakes and poor grammar will yield a model with poor language proficiency. Also, GPT4 (and GPT4o) are the most up to date and advanced models, I would not recommend using 3.5 for learning languages as it is less capable than 4.
@@CasanovaExplains Ok. I once again asked 4.0 for an example of the signature article of a lease (prompt: Please give me an example of the closing article in a lease that discusses the signatures) and it gave me a decent example this time. Then, I asked for the same thing in Lithuanian, and I made the request twice, once with the question in English and again in Lithuanian. The answer is clearly by the wording a translation of the English, not an example of how Lithuanian phrases that article. Since this was clearly an example of a commercial lease, I added 'for a flat' in the Lithuanian question and all AI did was to add 'flat' into the previous text. (Why commercial? Because the lease spoke of representatives, not the actual parties.) So, your explanation works in English, not so much for other languages where it takes an efficiency shortcut that means the text is foreign languages can be terrible. As to a major language like German, I am not qualified to answer and so I will leave that for someone else. However, I did ask 4.0 in German just now for that exact text, and it gave me a German translation of the English. Each country has different laws and legal formulas and so legal texts differ between countries. ChatGPT is not reflecting those differences. So, I see no evidence that it is using a German database and certainly no evidence of a Lithuanian database.

Successful language learning requires a balanced and holistic approach. By avoiding common pitfalls-such as over-focusing on grammar, neglecting listening and speaking, fearing mistakes, lacking consistency, not expanding vocabulary, translating directly, and ignoring cultural context-you can enhance your learning experience. Embrace practical application, immerse yourself in the language, and maintain regular practice. Remember, language learning is a journey that involves making mistakes and learning from them. Stay consistent, stay curious, and engage with both the language and its cultural nuances for a more enriching and effective learning process. Online Arabic Language ....Syed

Absolutely! You can checkout the Oxford dictionaries website since you expressed interest in learning English: www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/ There are many cool features on there, including: - You can get the most common 3000-5000 words with English to English translation, and examples on how to use those words - Pronunciation is included, both in British English and American English - Interactive games - Grammar practice with explanations, tables and practice exercises Plus many more. For apps, I would pick well-known dictionaries like Oxford or Cambridge, they have their dedicated apps too. Duelingo is a popular app too that has daily challenges with increasing complexity and pronunciation etc. Practicing with a friend is very helpful, especially to make it fun and motivating, but if you get the chance to practice with a native it is even better, so they could correct you on pronunciation and grammar! (You can book a teacher on iTalkie for as little as $5 per hour, an online practice session if you are into that: italkie.com -not sponsored-)
