    Again, I feel like someone finally understands me. Every youtuber always goes "consistency is important", but no one ever talks about how hard it is to actually get up, sit at your table and start learning.
    And yes, I am serious about learning Spanish and Korean, yes I have goals, yes I know that if I start now, then I will be proud of myself I'm the future. Yet still, I often just can't get myself to start.
    So thank you for this video. I really appreciate you and your videos, more than you will ever know

    I love what you said about finiding shows you find interesting. I am a beginner so if a show is really good I'll watch it with subtitles first then rewatch it without the subtitles or sometimes vice vera!

    2:50 i can totally feel you😂😂. Like when i started learning English languages and now spanish both time i tried learning through the dedicated teaching channels but it somewhat felt off and i kept zoning out because the fact that it made me too mucb realise that i am in the study zone and i gotta be serious whereas now that I've turned to series and random youtube channel related to the language is more fun and easier to catch the language

    The thing about procrastination is, it's predictable. We always know what's gonna happen next and we know what the results will be and we also know that the results would turn out much better if we eliminate distractions and prepare way ahead of time so that while everybody else is panicking as the due date creeps up on them, you'll be part of the 1% of people binge watching your favourite TV show stress free but we all know that out of the 100s of excuses we have, the only one that's valid (barely) is "Self-discipline is really hard."

    ...Unless you make sure that the entire video is in your target language. you're just starting out, you can't jump onto tv series right away. (don't worry, unless it's Chinese or Korean, it won't take very long.)
    I learned Italian literally this way for 4 months (more than enough since it's in the same language family as mine) and now I can understand everything, at about a C1 level (and once you can understand perfectly, you're done, you can speak at any time).
    ...and I'm doing the exact same prossess with Spanish and Mandarin Chinese: no Textbooks, no Flashcards, no revews, and thus, no procrastination and no risk of burnout since i'm not using any of the methods (efficient) whitch use to be the cause of those fellings.
    ...Learning a language is difficult, but it doesn't have to be painful.

    • @emigrace
      @emigrace  2 роки тому

      Good question! Actually this guy just messaged me through italki asking if I wanted to do a language exchange. He later told me that he found me through a comment feedback I had made to a Spanish teacher(in English), so he knew I was an English native and was studying Spanish. He was saying that italki’s good because all the people on the platform are serious about learning a language, unlike other language exchange platforms where there’s a good portion of people who don’t really care about the language part.
      Wow I wrote a whole essay but I hope this helps!:)

    I have to disagree with you about Duolingo it is IMO one of the best ways to learn Spanish (of course you have to mix it with some other methods)
    For me Duolingo + language transfer + italki are the best
    Duolingo makes sure that you study everyday (without it I think I wouldn’t study every day!)
    LT is the best for grammar
    Italki for speaking skills
    And duo for vocb and (everything basically)
