About me
Hola a todos 👋🏽 I’m Jerry, I learned Spanish from 0 to fluent, have taken the Spanish C2 mastery exam, and I make videos to help you learn Spanish and connect to the people and cultures that surround this beautiful language. Whether you're just starting out or want to keep improving, I've got something for you, so come aboard and join this Spanish adventure! 🥂
Correction: Noun Town now has a desktop app! And we just built a language app to practice speaking Spanish! 🎉 apps.apple.com/us/app/langtalk/id6478437989
What language are you learning in 2024?
i am currently studying across several language pairs, heavily reviewing and writing them as often as I can. One I learned a little in my youth. In both now, I mix the audio and subtitles which has been so much fun every time I understand or can the joke or character's intention. I learned too that those translations are sometimes not true to meaning. I also use keywords in Spanish, German etc to search for videos in those target languages.
Key to retaining anything is to constant review. I have several markers of how well I am doing.
-- first when I can guess.
-- second when I know absolutely my choice is wrong even without knowing the word.
-- third when I know all the other choices are wrong.
-- then when the word seems to come automatically as if implanted in my subconscious.
I've started using them in my calendar, journal and notes, unless it's intended for others or important records. I study everyday at least 15-30 minutes. Every day or at least several consecutive days.
*acho q reta tu eres*
I am learning Female to avoid problems. "I'm fine." means she's not fine.
Spanish
Is it possible to only use Gemini Live to get natural language banter every day? Also - can the Google Gemini talk at a slower pace if you asked it too or would there be a different solution in settings like accessibility?
Living and working in Houston, TX for the last year is the best thing I've done for my Spanish.
I was so close to moving to Miami or Texas at one point 😂
I lived in the country part of FL, where there’s a lot of agricultural work. Meaning lots of Spanish speaking neighbors. It’s amazing how fast you pick each others’ language up when you have to learn to communicate.
Then you already know if you wanna lil practice eat dinner in Pasadena that night💀🤙🏼
sharpstown be like
Lmao I'm German and I went to live in Mexico for 6 months 😂 ( not to learn the language I just wanted to get away from Europe for a while during COVID but I learned it anyway, I'm a polyglot)
If you're learning Spanish in the USA, you can get language immersion in most big cities.
Great point-Miami and NYC have tons of Spanish speakers. It’s not completely the same as being in a fully Spanish-speaking place where you can’t use English as an out, but it’s a solid start
Tienes razón.
To the op,
Not exactly. I was in San Diego and was in Little Italy, the people there didn't speak Italian and it definitely was not an Italian enclave. I heard it used to be, but now there are many Mexicans and just people who speak English. No Italian immersion at all.
@@alanguages I heard that most Italian Americans don't speak Italian. It's sad.
I heard similarly. They are likely how many generations in the USA though. I think it is also reflective in the Americas. Many Italians in Argentina and Brazil, but they also just adopted the local languages of Spanish and Portuguese.@@GoLongAmerica
I have been watching lots of videos on how to learn a language, and now I know what to do. 1. listen 2. write 3. speak 4. do dueling and pimsleur or any other resource. yay now I am going to become fluent! yayayay!
Explain further
@@freecss9330To become fluent in any particular language, one must master input (information relayed to you like reading and listening) and output (information you're relaying back, which is speaking and writing). Most language apps are used to get you started as an absolute beginner, so they'll teach you basic grammar and communication, new words, what they sound like, etc.
Reading doesn’t work?
@@k-rpen8719 Everything works to help you!
@@freecss9330bro- you didn’t even reply after this person made a whole paragraph explaining -🤦♀️
Bro I learned SO MUCH playing Skyrim and Animal Crossing in Spanish, studying straight grammar, and practicing common mistakes in Duolingo.
How fluent would you say that you are now?
Never thought about playing games in languages I want to learn, smart!
The annoying part is you normally have to redownload the entire game to play it in a different language.
@@chainsawmay Are you stuck in the 1600s or something I've never had to do that in my life
@@ijayy0 didn’t know they had video games in the 1600s
i just need something that explains actual stuff like grammatical structure instead of vocabulary now, thanks for the list, was very well put together and very neat editing as well
I'm glad you liked it. If you need grammar for Spanish, I started on StudySpanish.com and eventually switched to Manual de gramática by Zulma Iguina
search language bro on youtube, you will thank me later
@@JerryRegistrethe red or multi colored manual de gramática book?
Duolingo lower than videogames? Don't know about that. On my 400-th day of Duolingo I had a solid B1 and was able to travel to Madrid for a month and talk with the locals. It should be B-tier. While it might not make you fluent, it exposes you to all spects of the language - reading and listening, writing and speaking. It gives you some grammar, but doesn't overwhelm you. And it's super easy to use - you just follow the lessons. It's underrated.
Agreed. I think Duolingo should be higher. It won't make you fluent and it doesn't pretend to, with B2 being its highest possible grade. Then you would need to find other, more immersive, methods. As a tool to get you from from A1-B2, however, I think it's great.
I actually learned a lot with videogames as I was a kid. So I kinda agree
I became fluent as a child in english just because of videogames. And it was side effect. Very low effort that I put into learning it. Its not fast tho. I was progressing over years
It’s not that duolingo doesn’t teach you, it’s that it’s one of the least time effective ways to learn a language. The app is designed with a clear goal in mind. To keep you using the app. That is the number one goal, not teaching you the language.
@@samuel1469 yes, the goal is to keep you using the app, because if you don't use the app you're obviously not going to learn anything?
Why do you think it's not time-efficient? Sure, there are other ways to learn, but they are also more involved. You need to pick movies to watch, books to read, look for the meaning of words on your own... Duolingo has that ready-made for you in your pocket. For people with a lot of free time on their hands - sure, there are better ways to learn than Duolingo. But for busy people, Duolingo is ideal because it has a ready-made roadmap for you that you just have to follow, hence the push to use the app.
With the new AI functionality that they've added, it's even more useful. I can have a real conversation with an animated avatar that even remembers stuff from previous conversations... crazy! Talking with real people is better, sure, but it's not like opening the app in whichever moment you want and just talking without pressure.
And again, I'm talking from experience, as someone who actually has used the app consistently and has successfully used the language in its original real-world environment for over a month. And that's just from ~30-40 minutes a day for 360 days. Just think about how many HOURS a DAY people waste on stupid shit like TikTok. Although not perfect, what Duolingo provides is impressive.
I spent 12 years in school "learning" Russian and I can't say a single sentence. I spent 1 year learning Spanish with Duolingo and can already talk with locals.

This is the comment I was looking for .. 😂😂😂 so funny
what a freaking amazing video dude. thank you so much.
Thanks for the kind note 🙌🏽 Hope it’s helping the language journey 🛫
Duolingo doesn’t directly teach you any grammar rules, it makes you figure them out on your own. That can be a good thing but I’d rather be told than have to figure it out.
You have to supplement Duolingo. Duolingo and a grammar book, that's good.
Yeah thats why its shit
I'm using DuoLingo myself. It doesn't specifically teach you the rules for grammar, however, if you go through the app completely you will see that it does explain the difference when changing spellings for me, you, he/she them, for the present tense, permanent to non permanent actions
. I was slightly irritated to begin with, as it did not specifically set out exactly why spelling would change.. however, as I mentioned when you click on the info bar for each unit or check your words list.. it does set out the difference and at times explains why you've made / making the same mistake. I'm using the free version of it but ( i had a 3 day free full access) definitely if you have the payed subscription it does allow you to review your mistakes, practice your weak areas, and explains with more depth grammar, 1st person, 3rd person speech..
So far, I can not really fault it. I do have a few issues with dropping certain words from conversation I.e My. It. Do. Also I have slight issue whether the object comes before the description vice versa, at times its a little confusing but seem to be mastering it with more practise...
I have found with masculine and feminine words, a simple self explanatory understanding that DuoLingo did not point out to me..
Overall, I have gone from almost Zero Spanish to being able to construct basic sentences within 2 weeks...
Also, it does help that you're encouraged to practise a little everyday.. That it is somewhat repetitive which helps to make words, sentences stick.
I feel it's very useful for moving at one's own pace, too much too soon and it won't stick. I discovered moving too quickly I was struggling to remember words, so now I think I've found the right pace...
As I pointed out, I've learned a fair amount in 2 weeks. My listening is better than I expected, even I don't catch every word I can figure out the sentence..
Hopefully 🤞 within 3 months I'll be able to hold a basic level of conversation. I've never felt I was good at languages so I'm not unrealistic in exactly how much I expect to learn..
Overall DuoLingo is a very useful educational tool for my needs..
Duolingo was gaslighting me in the emails of 5 stages of grief
I mean, if you can't figure out basic grammar from repeatedly being taught tenses of words like yo como, tu comes, el come, then you are not going to learn much anyway. There are simple rules and it's teaching you to figure it out yourself because many people understand things easier that way.
i have been living in spain for 2.5 years and i still speak no spanish with broken spanglish.
just because you are inside a country and living doesn't mean you will become fluent . You really need to find hte right people to practice spanish with ..spain is becoming very international that 1/3 people you meet will speak english well to you. I have tried to speak spanish outside to locals and they respond back to me in english becaues they are so frustrated trying to figure out what im saying and makes me feel so dumb.
I think the bottom like is motivation and drive. Without that it doesn't matter if you live in spain or not.
I also met an american who lived in barcelona for 10 years and still in A1 Spanish
ua-cam.com/video/kVHJ4kMC0t0/v-deo.htmlsi=vyfsShQGFdzegpEb
Are they putting some effort into learning though? It should be an addition to your studies, not all that you're doing.
Don't just speak to individuals. Join a group where everything is conducted in Spanish. Book club, sports, whatever. Worked for me. Good luck.
You’re just a bum 😭
I went to Madrid, summer, twice, 1 month each trip. My level is B2/C1. Tips. Keep going. I did it from offline to online. UA-cam does really help. My books, only in Spanish. Bottomline, if you love it, you'll nail it.
This is a great overview of options. I would rate UA-cam higher on ease. It's the primary (almost exclusive) way I learned Spanish for the first 8 months and I continue to use it to advance (although now I focus on teachers whose videos are entirely or almost entirely in Spanish, e.g., Hola Spanish, Español con Juan, etc.). Although you have to search a bit for good teachers, some of the best (e.g., The Language Tutor, Qroo Paul, and others) have structured series on their channels to help people build their knowledge in a logical way.
I’m happy you liked the overview! And I’m definitely with you on the usefulness of UA-cam teachers-I spent a good bit of time going through Spanish with Vicente when I first dove into Spanish. And those packaged series definitely make it easier to find the right videos
Please can you write down the list of people that you can follow on UA-cam to learn French? 🥹
Are you telling me it's possible to learn a language by watching UA-cam videos?
@@UkemeEdet1804check out Alexa. She's a great french teacher
this is incredible man. ive gotta learn german since im moving in about a year, and although its not the prettiest language to me, ive always wanted to be fluent in another language, and its just an overall positive. these are great suggestions i totally forgot how useful ai could be in this aspect
Part of me wants to learn German to better connect with all the choral arrangements in German. Good luck with the language studies! 🙌🏽
Idk German but I like how it sounds and it has cool grammar rules
I want to learn German just to beat my bestie who is learning German 😅
I’m going to be a foreign exchange student in Colombia next year. I’m watching this to learn as much Spanish as I can before I go but I’m so grateful to be able to study in another country for a year. I’m doing it through rotary and it’s definitely the most affordable way to immerse yourself in another country for a long period of time however there is still a lot of preparation but they can help you through some of it if you have questions. Thanks for the video!
I am from Colombia, I hope you have a good time in my country, if by chance you come to the city of Cali I can show you some places. (I'm learning English)😊
Sounds dope!
Locals will be very nice about it but make sure that you ask them to correct you because people can get way too kind and complement everything that you say because they appreciate the effort and the sight of a foreigner trying their best, even when they're making serious mistakes. Hope you enjoy our country.
YOOO LANGUAGE REACTOR IS AMAZING!!! This is a gold mine of information, thank you so much!!
@@tomkempf8460 Let’s go! Glad you liked it brother 🙌🏽
I've been learning English and i love your language. It's so good to see to other people interesed in your culture. If you want to learn something myself put limits. You can do it 😊
I learned English by changing the language in most of my apps to english and only watching english youtube and tv shows. And now i’m planning to do the same for spanish
Did you watch with subs? Did you rewatch vids 😅?
@@Elyse0605 in the beginning i used subs in my native language. Obviously you need to know a fair bit of the language you’re trying to learn to disable them because you need to be able to form context
Same here that's helped a lot ,I so much improved my vocabulary, reading and listening skills , grammar still needs improvement though
Would anyone like to pracrice their spanish with me? I mean we can talk and elaborate our learnings?
How, i want Spanish, french and Japanese
this videos amazing, i assumed it had upwards of at least 100k views. keep it up man, i was blown away by the editing and how well thought out the rating system was
Really happy to hear that man 🙌🏽 The language nerd in me can’t help but dig a little deeper to make sure the research on these is helpful for learners. Glad to hear it wasn’t too dense 🙏🏽
@@JerryRegistreJerry I left you a resources list you could make a video using those resources all 14 of them that were not mentioned in this video. I'm imagining you using these resources for other languages such as Portuguese or French.
Once you do duals on Lingo Play it becomes exciting and addictive.
Whenever you use a translator pen instead of having to switch to Reverso application to check or look up a word you save time.
It is fun to let your voice flow while singing to the Lirica karaoke Spanish app and getting the backstory at the same time as a lesson.
Babadum is so Elementary and so easy that even a kid could use it stress free and fun.
@@OzkAltBldgCo-bv8tt thanks for sending them! Did you email them? I have a long list of emails to get through, but I do plan to keep working through it slowly over time until I get through them 🙌🏽
@@JerryRegistre actually I left it as a reply in the comments scroll up to your first comment that you there it says Jerry resources list.
One last thing nobody is mentioning Hello Talk social media hardly
As just a place for language Learners to gather I have yet to actually use it for much study. In the future the translator pins won't have to connect to the internet because everything will be downloaded into their hard drive. This will be awesome because you'll be able to take it into more remote places. For some reason my translator pin would not accept the hotspot from my phone. It has to be WiFi.
Ese vídeo puede ayudar a alguien un montón, lo cual me alegra muchísimo! A porpósito, ahora mismo estoy en camino al nivel B2 y tb quiero alcanzar el nivel C1-C2 ese año
Allá vamos! La práctica hace al maestro 🙌🏽
Hablo inglés y español, me gustaría que escucharas esta música, la primera vez que oi ni lo entendí, tampoco actualmente
From not translating I can make out "I speak Spanish and english I would like to listen to music first time when neither nor "
According to this video, the most effective ways to learn Spanish are:
Language immersion (traveling to a country where Spanish is spoken)
Taking language exams (like the DELE exam)
Chatting with a large language model (like Bard!)
C2! That’s impressive
¡Tremendo trabajo! Video muy detallado. Tremendous work! Very detailed video.
I’m glad you liked it 🙌🏽 Comments like these make the effort worth it
Someone on your comments once said eleven labs had nice text to speech voices and now my main method to practice listening. I still hear videos in English (like this), Chinese and so on. But if I need custom phrases to practice new vocabulary, I use eleven labs. // Thanks for the VR recommendations! This is the first time I see those recommendations, and I had no idea I could do such things on my headset
Honestly, great video. Just decided to learn Spanish and this was perfect.
For those who didnt take language classes seriously in high school like i did because imo us schools only focus on suffixes and words but never properly teach students how to properly apply said lessons in conversations. A friend of mine whose peruvian reccomend duoling for me to learn spanish as a beginner, but only as a “stepping stone” to get merely a introduction to some of the basics of another language. It works better as a tool to use alongside other tools and lessons. After that you need to do more learning a language requires dedication and yes it can be expensive depending on the methods one has or uses to learn it. But i hear its worth it.
Listening to the video only to pause it and think: "Oh wait, right, english is not my native language" is kinda wild. Only a few years ago i was barely able to write on english, and now i'm starting spanish, using my english knowledge to find the right lessons and apps...
Same same like DAMN... I speak 2 languages; my own country language mother tongue and national language. english was for work, skills and I mean everyday ppl didn't have to speak English most of it only for works. English are 2nd language for some but most people its their 3rd nor 4th who cnt even speak fluent but can understand and comprehend.
Thanks for sharing. Me gusta mucho😊
Happy you liked it :)
Would you like to practice spanish with me?
when i was in dr and i didnt know any spanish i just watch spanish youtube cartoon for like 3 months and i become fluent
I like using multiple ways like read Spanish-English bible, duolingo x2 accounts, and videos and apps.
Wow, sooooo much information, organised in such a brilliantly useful, slick, and intelligent way! Thanks loads.
I always need to start with the absolute basics from classic language textbooks. Once I get a solid hold on general grammar, pronunciation and basic words, I can get a decent amount of progress from language learning apps. After that I'm ready to move on to some shows or books for kids. And after that I'm ready to chat with people in a new language. I also need to write with my hand a lot to truly remember things and have them sink into my brain. Typing on phone or keyboard doesn't seem to have same effect.
when I first started learning spanish about a year ago I seen your video “How I learned spanish NOT in 30 days.” I’m A2 now But I think I’m actually B1 because the test I took doesn’t account for speaking and listening, where I learned most of my spanish from youtube song translation videos and singing songs. You put me on to tandem, thanks 🙏 ❤
Let's go!! Keep it going 🚀 Maybe one day we'll get to do conversation practice 🙌🏽
I tried the movie method. There are a lot of Disney movies that I know by heart. So I figured by switching the language to Spanish I would easily learn. But they were talking too fast for me to understand so I turned on the subtitles. I quickly learn the subtitles do not match the words coming out of the mouth.
It also depends on the movies, I learned. One way to ease yourself into learning Spanish by listening (according to my Mom who used this method as one of her tricks to learn English when she came to the USA) to music… but also looking up the lyrics so you can break down the parts of a song you can’t understand due to the speed of the singer or the inflection they used when singing. Essentially, using the lyrics to force learning at your own pace. Never actually tried it myself in my Spanish learning journey, but I’m going to try this for myself. Hopefully this suggestion helps somehow.
Watch native content like children’s shows in Spanish. And if you’re a a beginner use subtitles. When you have a good amount of vocabulary under your belt use Spanish audio with Spanish subtitles.
@@em4001The Foreign language with english subtitles has been debated for a long time with my mum and sister and personally I don’t think using your native language subtitles will help you since you run into the risk of just reading the subtitles
Nice video. You're very good at this, You're a great presenter hang in there.
Really appreciate the encouragement 🙏🏽 I trust that one day more people will find these videos and get value from them. I won’t be stopping anytime soon 😤
@praywithoutceasing4939 I have not, but as soon as I come back on the grid, I’d love to chat with more people.
For the algo.. bien hecho hermano
Gracias hermano 🙏🏽
Great video!❤
As a beginner a1 in Spanish I feel like it’s not helpful to watch a show or listen to a podcast in Spanish as I only have maybe 100 words and at the speed they speak (even if slow) I’m not able to get anything of value and I am left no better off after the fact. I think Duolingo is helpful because I actually learn and retain most of it. I feel like once I can get enough words and phrases that I can listen to a sentence and get the gist of it then I can start using context clues to figure out what I don’t know.
The best way to learn it is to not begin able to translate, but still knowing what they mean or refer to.
This is how you learnt your native language
I would say that, for immersion you don't necessarily have to travel. Just watch movies, tv shows in the language, listen to music in the language (other methods listed), and also watch news in target language. Usually news is read clearly and well-articulated, which makes it easier to understand what's being said. Oh, and another great way is by making friends who speak the language you want to learn. Bonus if they don't speak much of any other language you're fluent in, so you're forced to learn. Romantic/love interest works even better. Just saying. lol
another amazing video, thanks!
Happy to hear that! 🙌🏽
Actually… I think Duolingo is not that terrible. I have just started learning French there. I think that as long as I don’t use Duolingo as my main learning, I will be able to progress. For example, I spend about 30min a day on Duolingo + I constantly immerse myself in the language by watching films/videos is French even though I understand very little. Then I also watch videos on UA-cam and soon when I understand the structure of sentences a bit better I will start my own little diary/notebook where I will write my own sentences and search for new words to learn. I also have friends who speak French (natives) who check my prononciation. But I really enjoy Duolingo, I don’t want to throw it away. Can I succeed with this plan??
Also - I am fluent in English, but I’ve only spoken it for about 6 years, so I use the same methods to learn a third language that helped me to learn a second language
I want Spanish French and Japanese i cant even do any
Methods for me
Duolingo (as a side language app)
Change my settings to spanish, consume Spanish media like podcasts.
Language reactor or ejoy (maybe)
UA-cam for suree
Textbooks

ngl duolingo is shit if you wanna be fluent
@@_Ssamantha_ fact, but compared to netflix
@@Abdi._.M3bro I promise you I went to Puerto Rico after months of doulingo and I knew Jack shit listening to shows and conversations helps more
he probably means netflix as an umbrella term for any streaming services (like how some people say coke to describe all types of soda)
Immersion is crazy effective when you're a kid and your life literally depends on it
I immigrated to Canada where almost no one spoke khmer, I learned basically by getting fortnite dropped into a small town with a teacher who didn't know my native language, and I did use spongebob and a lot of UA-cam to help.
I'm using both Anki and Duolingo for now. Might start to use different sources as I keep progressing.
I'm playing farcry 6 in spanish and it's awesome, it's making the game more interesting than it is
If you are planning to learn any language not just Spanish you must use all of these methods even the ones with fewer stars (except the sleep one because it's not even logical) I'm telling you this out of my personal experience as a polyglot, I'm a native arab and I learned french, English, some Chinese and some Japanese using all of these methods, you just need to choose a language that you love so that you can always be motivated, it might seem hard but if you really love the language you're learning you'll achieve your fluency goals for sure.
أنا ودي اتعلم سباني من وين أبدا
Thnks for the motivation... But lol I've trying since day 1 like Japanese then Korean and guess what Bieng lazy with procrastinated character didnt help. Hope and wish my Spanish will go far this time..
@@Lunafreya_Noxyou procrastinated most likely due to not having goals or time frames and your mind will not try as you essentially have infinite time to do it (not really but thats what your brain thinks)
I will throw my two cents in: People discount the fact about vocabulary. In my opinion, you have to know words to know a language.
Hey Jerry, great video and Happy New Year! If you want to try our desktop version that dropped recently then let us know 👍we're also adding Mexican Spanish to our existing Spain Spanish in a few weeks too. Thanks
Thanks for the heads up (and congrats on the app)! I’ll pin a note about the desktop availability on both videos as a correction. Happy 2024 😄🎉
@@JerryRegistre That's really kind of you, thank you!
@@JerryRegistre I challenge you to take the Clozemaster 10 languages 10 questions each challenge. Pick any 10 languages video yourself taking the challenge and inspire us. (whether you have studied are familiar with or not). This is a fun opportunity to showcase your talent with a little bit of humility proving you too are human and still a language learner. You can put the flags of the 10 languages you choose for the challenge in both the thumbnail and the title and tag the video as #takingtheclozemaster 10 languages challenge. While also tagging the languages of the challenge. When choosing from a diverse variety of languages consider this, to include some of those you're familiar with, those that you are not, and those that you will later learn. Choosing to include a conlang like Interlingua and an ancient language like Latin will keep the challenge diverse while bringing recognition to these languages (you may surprise yourself). Consider getting a hold of Clozemaster they may be interested in sponsoring the video. We as a community of language Learners need a challenge that we can all appreciate and try together. To get the most out of the video challenge adjust the settings as follows: put the skills to listening, the question count to 10, and the mode to multiple choice. Then you can adjust the account to dark mode (as it's more attractive) and the default speed to 75% for better hearing the questions. Doing a dry run will ensure all the settings are correct. Keep a notepad by your side to keep track of the language scores. Before you end the video it would be nice if you encouraged other polyglots and language Learners to take up the challenge.
Buenas suerte
Carpe Diem
السلام عليكم
I appreciate the reviews. Thanks
Gracias!

This video by Jerry Registre is about how to learn a language effectively. In the video, he shares 24 language learning methods he has tried, ranking them by cost, ease, and effectiveness. He discusses methods such as language learning apps (Duolingo), language immersion, Netflix, music, language exchange partners, online lessons, school, language exams, podcasts, UA-cam, textbooks, video games, UA-cam channels, chatGPT, custom GPTs, Being AI, Google Bard, virtual reality (VR) language learning apps (Immerse, Myle, Language Lab, N Town, and Immerse Me), and more. He concludes by saying that the best method depends on what you are optimizing for (speed, cost, etc.) and encourages viewers to check out his other video for more details on his personal language learning journey.
I use duolingo for my russian religiously lol. But I find whats really been taking my learning to another level is going onto games like roblox and getting into russian voice chat games. You can go and just listen to live conversations for completely free. And the natives (if they speak english) will usually be able to help you out with words you dont understand
I totally agree with your povs
If you're looking to immerse yourself in another country's language but need to watch your cost, I can't recommend work exchanges enough. Basically, on platforms like Worldpackers, there are a variety of hosts or host families you can find in different countries that will give you free housing, food, and sometimes other touristy things in exchange for a few hours of work per day. The kind of work and kind of commodities vary based on the exchange, and of course some hosts are better than others, but it's so much cheaper and more effective than just traveling and staying in a hotel or hostel. Personally, I did this for a month in Germany, and my German easily jumped from pretty basic to more intermediate within 30 days-- and I didn't even go with the intention of learning German.
Great video man
I saw a great bit of advice - watch a limited number of Spanish (or any language) Ted talks, say 5-10. These will usually cover good vocab and pronunciation in real context. Watch them repeatedly, with translation subtitles on initially, then off, basically learn how to speak along with the Ted Talk. Also learn the main conjunctive verbs (about 50 main ones) and practise using them.
Immerse yourself in the language thereafter through Music, TV, reading, writing and esp speaking as much/frequently as possible. The tools help, but doing really drives home the learning.
bro u called it the new chatgbt voice and language with the new iphone are crazy!!!!
I like how normal people being completely unable to do a method puts it at S rank, but Duolingo is put on D just for being a bit slow...
Using Duolingo and UA-cam together, is the best way to learn languages for me 😁
Very helpful video. Tyvm.
I'm using Dreaming Spanish comprehensible input videos for $8 a month. It is an easy on ramp to the language. After I build a strong listening foundation, I'll start using other tools.
Awesome! Glad to hear that you’re having a good experience with your Spanish journey. ¡Adelante!
My Spanish teacher always encouraged us to watch childrens shows in Spanish, like Sesame Street.
Search for a song with Spanish and English versions (if the original is Spanish, it’s better) and sing the version in Spanish (whenever whenever by Shakira or Perhaps Perhaps are good options)
This would help you translate the cadence of your speech into Spanish (I learnt English that way hehehe)
Love it! This is the more musical version of reading a book you already know in your target language
In NYC Spanish was a required class, (not sure if it still is) Yet I still can’t speak Spanish. Only know some vocabulary. So school as a tool seems pretty useless. In Canada people learn French and English and speak both fluently. It should be like that here but for Spanish.
This was very helpful thank you so much
Anything that can't teach basic Spanish should be below duolingo. Also anything you have to pay for should be marked down. Most people can't pay. I use a mix of UA-cam and duolingo and it is way more effective than watching TV shows. Also how can you mark anything that requires VR as low cost, the VR set is very expensive.
I have Duolingo to learn a few words at least but I tend to quite after a while. I was watching a language learning video on UA-cam as well which will help. Even if I won't be able to make many sentences I'll have fun trying to write it at least.
I like your pacing. Nice video overall
I been doing Spanish for four years its no joke
And you still don’t know it?
Pls can anyone suggest a UA-cam french teacher who teaches in a step by step manner ... So that I can follow his /her steps instead of scrolling through multiple french channels...thx !! 🎉
U wanna learn French?
@@freecss9330 bien sur !! 💐✅
Someone on your comments once said eleven labs had nice text to speech voices and now my main method to practice listening. I still hear videos in English (like this), Chinese and so on. But if I need custom phrases to practice new vocabulary, I use eleven labs. // Thanks for the VR recommendations! This is the first time I see those recommendations, and I had no idea I could do such things on my headset
Thanks for sharing, and I’m glad you found the video helpful! I’ll check out the speech voices too
Hey, I'm spanish native and I want to learn English, someone who wants to learn Spanish we can meet in something like Discord or Fortnite, etc and talk the two languages. Gracias
I know I'm not going to be learning spanish but I could try this to help me learn another language.
Pro tip.
Its not about begin able to translate stuff to your own language, its about knowing what they are used for or what they refer to.
Yeah the sleep thing doesn't do anything.
+1; it's strange to see the long list of sleep language learning playlists that exist on UA-cam.
@@JerryRegistre that's a good point. Glad you brought it up
I think it'll only disturb your sleep tho 😂
Regarding learning Spanish with Netflix, I can recommend kids shows for beginners.
Please make a video on how to improve listening skills
Great topic! I’ll put this in my list-tons of great videos to put together this year 🙌🏽
Hay que practicar, amigo. Busca gentes para hablar, y escuchar bien.
I've tried hello talk, not everyone wants to teach
😂😂😂I'm so sorry for the trauma you suffered
I speak Spanish and need to learn English. If someone helps me with English, I can help them with Spanish. My English is basic; I'm just starting.
Mira se bastante de ingles.
La mejor manera es mirar cosas en ingles y estar rodeado de cosas en ingles, asi terminaras entendiendo mas o menos a que se refieren las palabras.
No se trata de poder traducir palabras del ingles a español, se trata de saber a que se refieren las palabras.
I learned 150 words of spanish and learned basic things for a vacation in spain in 70 days on duolingo
I am 9 weeks into my Spanish learning journey, I have a tutor I meet with twice a week for a total of 3 hours but I also purchased Babbel thinking it would help. With the ability to do live classes picking almost any topic I wish, what kind of rating would you give Babbel? It feels very promising so far
Very cool! I haven't even considered VR as an option. Will need to dust-off my Oculus Quest and dive-in :)
Great video thank you very much❤
Really glad you liked it 🙌🏽
I should also sleep lol, I’m too much of a night owl 🦉
Am trying to learn Spanish but I speak Arabic, and there aren’t any apps that allows me to learn Spanish through Arabic. good thing that am fluent in English otherwise it was gonna be difficult, plus a lot of Spanish words are a mix up of English and Arabic 😂But still it’s hard on anyone who doesn’t speak English and trying to learn a language through apps.
I really love Duolingo as an 11 year old because the other apps were so boring
Thank you man
Nice video thanks for putting me onto Dele I’ll definitely try to achieve it. Another way someone can learn Spanish in terms of immersion would definitely be Twitch there are thousands of people streaming at any given time and whilst their aren’t subtitles it does a pretty decent job at realistic immersion.
Nice out of the box thinking 🙌🏽 Twitch will probably give you some real colloquial phrases (and maybe some you won't want to repeat in public lol), but as long as you're learning and enjoying it, it's a win in my book.
Some friends on videogames like VR Chat, especially my Dutch friend, told me I've been improving my English speaking skills. I kept thinking, "How? I still have my horrible Argentinian accent". No way, he must mean, "How did you learn it?"' Then I told him, 'I've been using AI to improve my English skills, such as pronunciation, grammar (I'm at a B1-B2 level), and learning new vocabulary, including expressions I haven't encountered in regular English academy schools in real life.
I teach on italki and my students make a lot of progress
Thanks for being a language teacher! I have really fond memories working with my Spanish teachers :)
I'm glad your teachers gave you a pleasant experience
Disagree. Netflix is a fantastic method, depending on your target language (some have tons of dubbed shows). It's easy immersion.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SHARING ! Understanding other languages, especially Spanish has been challenging for me. However, with the help of useful extensions like Immersive Translate and DeepL, I've been able to overcome the language barrier. Moving forward, I'm committed to putting in my best effort to learn the language and not just relying on tools.
Hola yo enseño español a muy bajo precio y de manera práctica y sencillo y rápido
I learned the majority of my Spanish using "Spanish with Paul"
Play a game you've already beated before, bonus points if its an rpg. Switching it into another language makes it more fun to play a second time. RPGs are good for having a lot of text to read and interact with. Bet doing an online game like an MMORPG is more effective because of the social aspect.
Start with duolingo, complete all the lessons then turn on spanish subtitles on videos you watch on youtube or netflix movies
thanks!
Good advice, but I would also say, get a good simple Spanish grammar to look at alongside Duolingo, to see the wider picture as you go.
hey yo aprendi español hace 10 años y creo realemente que lo domino de una manera excelente, podiendo plasmar mi lexico al receptor de una manera audaz y efectiva😁
English or Spanish?
I was searching for this comment 😂
so to summarize it ..i speak very basic spanish and i want to learn quick .. what the best cost ( cheaper) / effectivness method?
