@som Slovaak...ah okay, I had a feeling this was what you meant. Because I am a victim 😢 I tried learning Tagalog and translated word by word. But now I’m confused with the verb conjugations which is complex. I’m slowly getting my head around it but it’s hard.
@som Slovaak You need translation at some point, if you're learning your first words how do you know what they mean without any translation? You're not supposed to translate in your mind while you're talking, that could become a "handicap" but using bidirectional translation as a tool to learn new words is something else.
Thanks for having me on your channel wonderful christine! Keep shining and inspiring people to learn foreign languages. And to the you guys: don't hesitate to ask questions in the section below =)
Luca, I would like to know what you think of the importance of learning or mastering our native language. I think we want too much from the foreign languages and forget our own. I personally think my language the best of all ;) Abraços de um brasileiro! Te amamos hehe!

I live in Switzerland, in the region where I am we speak French, but I learned the basics of German, Italian and English at school.

i wondered that too, and i also wondered when do they consider themselve as being able to speak a language. I mean B2 is nessecary to be able to speak a language and C2 is fluent.
Well, to me, there's a lot of perspectives. If you can maintain a conversation with native speakers with ease, understand 95% plus, you're fluent. To me, C1 is already fluent and C2 is more like a master level. If you won't spend a lot of time speaking in the target language, there's no real need to fully master it, y know? I try to maintain my language levels on C1 and if I need to travel or something like that, I study for a couple of weeks to upgrade again to C2 and I'm good.

I've been learning a language for six months now and I can honestly say that I have been improving rapidly. I'm terrible at multi-tasking so I can only focus on a single aspect at a time, which kind of makes it into a strength. At the beginning, I hone in on absorbing as much auditory input as I can so I have a feel of the sounds that native speakers make, whilst simultaneously incorporating speaking as much as possible. At the moment, I'm slowly creeping into a transition phase where I integrate some reading into my process of learning, but that's going to take some time. And keep up the good content Christine!!!!!
Its amazing how everyone learns a little bit differently than the next person. I totally get what you were saying at @12:30 minutes. For me I learn phrases better that I can learn a list of individual words. I also learn the language script in the beginning but I don't study writing in the beginning stages. I only practice speaking, listening and reading off of sight in the language. In the beginning if I start off with writing and grammar I get confused and it slows my progress.
Oi eu falo português do Brasil🇧🇷. Cai de paraquedas(gíria) aqui no seu canal. Que incrível essa sua diversidade linguística! Espero que você aprenda mais e mais o português que é uma língua TÃO BONITA! Beijos.
Great ways of learning. I took Spanish in middle school, a friend got me into Korean dramas, and I'm teaching myself Thai. I have a photographic memory when it comes to movies and shows, so watching foreign films, TV, and UA-cam videos (with subtitles when needed), and listening to podcasts, help me the best. I'll also use app as a more fun and relaxing way to learn as well. I love listening to music in the language too.
Hi, I'm French and I started learning Thai a few months ago. This video really motivates me. I think choosing only one resource to focus on in the beginning is important because otherwise you can get overwhelmed. J'aime beaucoup ta chaine, merci beaucoup pour tes vidéos.
Lao is also very very similar to Thai. YOu can learn it after your Thai skills are good. Allow me a simple piece of advice: TRy to master the tones FiRST ! don't pick up words and words until you can master the tones. Otherwise you'll have serious problems later.
I was surprised also when he said that he would learn two languages at once because I watched a video a few years ago in wich he explained how bad idea it's to do that so he stopped me to try doing it but yeah maybe it's what you said he is now at a learning level that he just can do it. So good for him
@@sydneywellington_cazadora nice, its not impossible to do it I was just remarkable the guy in the video has a video talking about it's bad idea to do it but now he will do it....
I learned french and Italian at the same time because they’re pretty similar. Sometimes I would make mistakes between the language, but not that often.
Going to start a video series on this very topic with my class via UA-cam. I am SO encouraged by people with such a passion and genuine joy for learning languages. So envious! Appreciate these videos; very encouraging!
I'm Italian, I'm fluent in English and it's almost two years I'm self-studying Japanese, and now I'm trying to learn Korean too (I've ordered a book and then I found a language exchange partner). One day, I'd like to learn French, Spanish and German, (maybe...) Swedish and even Mandarin. It'd be a dream came true. How do you organize your study each day/week for each language? P.S. You gave me a lot of inspiration and determination with this channel. Thank you very much!
This is indeed a very useful video. Please produce more such kind of videos in the future. By the way, I prefer your way of learning languages since it seems quicker and makes people speak a new language ASAP.
Tagalog! Wow goodluck! Ang galing galing mo nman! Im stuck. At school I had the chance to learn French. It’s hard to retain the knowledge since I don’t have the opportunity to use it.
Oooh, you're so amazing, because of you I'm starting to learn a new language, I'm Brazilian and a know a little about English and now a I've started to learning french as well,Thanks so much !!!
Man! Such an honor to be able to receive helpful tips for us language learners. I must admit, I am so bent on perfecting a languages that I am learning that I don’t know how to add additional languages to learn. I passed the DALF C2 for French in 2019 in France and have been concurrently leaning German and Thai. French has been so hard to maintain since I left France! Just passed the German Goethe Prüfung B2 about a month ago. My Thai is like upper beginner. Debating whether adding a new language would be too much at the moment or if it’s better to get an advanced level in German at least before adding another language.
It comes from a very big interest..passionate about..you try,gaining little by little..you love it..you acknowledge your little step..you feel more interest..you enjoy it..by the time you will get addict to it..Stick with it....you read a lot off materials..you find the pattern and you feel them..and practice every day..this is the way i got my guitar skill
I agree with you. I like to feel the language first, be immersed. Once I feel comfortable with the language, I learn the spelling. It just feels more natural. This video is great. Luca is such a source of inspiration.
My native Language is Spanish and I learned English at school and now that I am in college I am studying French, I have been to Brazil and I kind of speak portuguese, and I used to think that it was enough but now that i have watched your videos i am so motivated and i wanna be a nice Polyglot just like you are
I know, I felt that way too. For some reason men always talk more than women and the second a woman speaks slightly longer than them they cant handle it. its like...... women are calm and patient with that all the time but men cant handle it for even one conversation.
Writing is challenging, even for native speakers. Tip: copy examples of good writing (copywork). It might seem boring, but it helps. Also, 'advice' is uncountable. Cheers
The moment I heard her say "tagalog" made my heart beat fast. Owemjiii!! Filipino hereee! And yes I speak tagalog and english. I'm also learning spanish at this quarantine period. I love all your videos. Please make some moreeeeeee!! 😘
Im a french girl im looking for someone who wants to learn french/ become fluent inbecause i wants to become fluent in english too. We’ll speak together to learn !
Sou brasileiro e me identifiquei muito com esses métodos de aprendizado de idiomas. Eu aprendi a falar grego sozinho ouvindo rádios em online streaming durante o dia todo para me acostumar com o som do idioma, com isso adquiri gosto pela música e pela cultura pop mais contemporânea. Isso me fez traduzir palavra por palavra de todas as músicas que eu mais gostava. Ao ouvir a música sabendo o significado, o idioma passou a fazer sentido na minha mente, e aos poucos passei a compreender diálogos e a conseguir falar o idioma. Consegui aprender a falar grego, inglês, alemão desta maneira. Gostaria de saber a opinião de vocês sobre o aplicativo Duolingo. Muito obrigado pelo vídeo interessantíssimo!! I didn't write in English for to be a challenge to translate it from Portuguese. The bests regards
I personally think that it's logical to start a language at around New Year or on your birthday. That makes sense as these dates can serve as some sort of a countdown system and the date where you analyze all that you've managed to complete and set new goals for the upcoming year (and your personal year if count from your BD).
Muchas gracias. Abrazos de Francia. Aprender una nueva lengua para su mismo. El ingles y el espanol son muy suficientes para mi en mas de mi lengua nativa que es el francés y que enseno tambien .
One of the thing to consider while deciding learning a new language is to get familiar with the language do not look how hard the language is just try to learn how to read script , it makes a lot easier to grab the language by watching vedios with subtitles for the same language you are learning , i learned mandarin in just 6 months , and i learned korean hangul within a weak its getting lot easier for me to more familiar
Actually, forgetting is the trick to finally retaining words!!! When you forget a word and you come across it again, the chances of you forgetting it again drops significantly each time. So, be happy to forget words!!
After this video, I should make a plan to be a polyglot too. It's so cool and helpful if you know lots of langauges. I feel shamed that I am English major and I don't grasp another foreign languages. Thanks for your inspiration.
Eu só sei de uma coisa. Aprender idiomas é parecido com droga, vicia. E é um caminho sem volta. O legal de tudo que vc é capaz de falar com tanta gente e ler sobre tudo quando aparece na sua frente.
Very useful! Thank you so much to you both 🤗 I'll follow your tips whenever I'll start a new language from now! (right now I am studying Slovene by myself and I struggled a lot at the beginning, as if I didn't notice about some basic information). Najlepša hvala!!💙
I'm a native spanish speaker, I've been learning English for many years however I need to brush it up 'cause I got a b2 level, nowadays I'm living in Italy e veramente questi due anni mi hanno aiutato per riuscire a fare una vita quà in questo bellissimo paese anche per imparare una nuova lingua. Adesso più che mai vorrei imparare più lingue, ecco perché mi sono inscrito al tuo canale, sei una fonte d'ispirazione per tutti quelli che come me, vogliono essere poliglotti. Tanti auguri carissima.
I am learning Russian and aside from using the internet I would like to have a hands on tool. Where and what books would be good for me to buy ? Thank you 🙏 😊 ☺️
The Assimil Russian course is decent. If you roughly apply Luca's bi-translational method to that, you'll certainly have gotten your teeth into the language.
This is great advice I also think it's important to remember to...just start! I'll spend 2 months trying to perfect the best way of learning a language from scratch when that time would probably have been better spent just studying the language and working out what works best for me as I go.
Wow that's cool!! I have been learning chinese for a year and a half now. I also find the witing a lil hard. I focus on the speaking of the language. I find chinese quite interesting and I love the language. I can only encourage you to learn it. Why do you want to learn the language by the way?
Be Yourself im a chinese ，to be honest writing is much more harder than speaking in chinese. dont worry about it， Most of Chinese can not write some kind of complicated Chinese characters either, because Chinese characters have evolved over thousands of years. It's good enough to be able to communicate
@@peicloud8052 For real. I can recognize and read characters that I know but writing them without my phone or computer, but with a pen is hard. Hey I would like to know what you think about my chinese pronunciation, since you are a native. (ua-cam.com/video/lyuXlwV7T4A/v-deo.html)
In schools and workplaces the word is used constantly. No matter how close friends two people get if one is their senior they’ll continuing using the term senpai. My bf is Japanese and literally his best friend still calls him senpai in like every sentence because my bf was his senior in their club at school
@@heathersaxton8118 I know that because I'm Japanese. What I wanted to say was that I didn't know non-Japanese people use the word outside of the Internet.
Thanks for the video! I’ve been subscribed for a while, but there were only 2 videos on the channel. I’m glad to see more! I follow a lot of the same methods as you guys. I definitely agree with the statement that very few people reach fluency in the classroom. I start by learning the sounds of the language and the sentence structure. I’ll use any similarities between the target language and languages I already know to help me remember the target language. My goal isn’t to learn all the words in the dictionary, it’s more to learn a good base. Then I learn more in the areas of my life I use most (work, hobbies, etc.). Then I use the good base as building blocks to learn more of the language. Another important thing is to start talking with NATIVE SPEAKERS as soon as possible.
Hi, I hope you're doing well. You said that you immerse yourself in the target environment and you try to catch as many inputs as you can. I d like to know what is the tip you use to recall all what you learn automatically when it's needed so you sound native? How do you train your brain to build up sentences quickly and effortlessly? PI : when you're actually in a country where the target language is not regularly used and consequently you don't afford to meet someone to speak with. I'm asking you this because I feel that basically there is an unbalance between the outputs (speaking &writing) and if it's possible to regulate this disorder by your own. Thank you.
Thanks for the wonderful video. I’m from Japan. You seem to be following what doctor Krashen states. I agree with you at the point that you prioritize as much input as you could get rather than writing. I’ve been learning Mandarin myself and doing what you do, like watch drama, UA-cam videos whatever they are as massive input to absorb, and the app ‘HelloTalk’ to systematically learn the language. Your videos keep me motivated so much! I’m really grateful for that! I thank and support you!
Hi, thank you for your interest in learning our language. I am a fan now. I am currently learning thai and korean all at the same time and your advices helped me a lot. More power and God bless
keep going! I can read and write the korean alphabet but im not fluent in forming some sentences in korean. I know sum basics bc of watching kdramas. I remember cheating on a learn korean app but end up learning the alphabet lmaooooo keep going
actually hangul, the korean writing system, as been regarded as one of the easiest scripts to learn! so start there! i recomend using korean in 90 days ( i think thats what its called) to learn the letters because it helps you remember them in very creative ways
The hangul is easy. I recommend you that you watch the group's performances, always in the corner there is a karaoke and for example if Jennie of BlackPink say "a" and the karaoke starts with an "아" I knew that "아" means "a" xd Like this I learned the hangul. Sorry for my bad english :(
I don't agree with sticking to only one resource. I like to change resources. Many times I hear or read some word in one sourse and then I see or here it in another. Then I remember I have heard it before. I'm happy that I understand it and this way the word consolidates in my memory and I can already understand it in two contexts!
I know 4 languages & able to learn 15 more, but too busy by getting money. How do you guys with more than 7 languages, earn money? It takes a lot of time
most of them work on activities that are related or where they use the languages they speak. for example: language coach language tutor do business with several countries tourism and so on.
@@ichbinhier355 if so, they shouldn't have time either. I'm coaching for the last 3 years - it eats a lot of time but brings even less money than a regular job
@@SaidMaximov nowadays that issue has been reduced thanks to the Internet, so imagine that you are a language coach, so you can organize sessions with your clients through Skype, or other any other platform, also by having clients all over the world could be beneficial for your income. also there is the option of making online courses, so you build a community around a topic, and then you sell them courses. I recommend you the book the 100$ startup ;)
Thank you so much for these tips! Recently I'm reviewing my Spanish and Korean (but mostly Spanish). I want to expand my language skills just like you since I already have the basic foundation of it. I'm glad you're interested in learning Tagalog. Maraming Salamat po ulit!
I have a Question, how did you learn Japanese Specifically? I mean did you study the Writing systems first (Hiragana, Kanji etc.)??? Then Vocab memorization? I have hard time learning languages and I really wanted to Learn Nihongo 😅
Hey buddy, I know how to speak nihongo but I read like baby, I learned hiragana and katakana but I don't know many kanjis. I have many friends in the same situation as me, we talk and understand well but we don't read or write. The best way is learning exchange, there are many website where you can meet a native Japanese who want learn other languages, so, get a book (online) to learn Japanese conversation, share with the Japanese friend , and study with a reference book. You do the same with him, teach your native language with reference book. You going to learn very fast, believe me.
i also agree with what christine said about the writing. Especially if you're learning a language with a complicated writing system like japanese or chinese... learning spelling can slow you down. like she said, just learn how to read so you can learn with more material
I was just curious - is it okay to learn a handful of languages simultaneously? Or do you have to do only one language at a time? I really want to learn Korean and Japanese at the same time, but I think it's gonna be hard to do so😅
I think it's better that you focus on one at least until you achieve a comfortable level in that language. I find starting 2 languages from a beginner level at the same time, very difficult.
Is True. I'm from Brazil and one polyglot in for languade:Portuguese, English,Spanish and Italian and keep focus in one languade is Very important to Learn
Im from Colombia, Im happy because I can understand almost every word they are saying, its incredible how I could learn english so fast, now Im a bilingual guy, I speak spanish and english, and maybe the next languages Im gonna learn are portuguese and german at the same time
I used the same method with this man. When I started to study english, ( actually I didn't know english really at all ) after acquiring basic grammer rule, I translated sentences that I thought from native to my target language. I repeated this countless time. But even though I got used to enlgish to a certain degree, there comes a time when some parts that I cant understand appear unless someone teaches it to me.
Christine & Luca you both are my favorite polyglots. Wow you got started to explore Tagalog, i respect your curiosity. You are one of the best Korean speaking polyglots. Still in Korea?

And keep up the good content Christine!!!!!
Its amazing how everyone learns a little bit differently than the next person. I totally get what you were saying at @12:30 minutes. For me I learn phrases better that I can learn a list of individual words. I also learn the language script in the beginning but I don't study writing in the beginning stages. I only practice speaking, listening and reading off of sight in the language. In the beginning if I start off with writing and grammar I get confused and it slows my progress.
Oi eu falo português do Brasil🇧🇷. Cai de paraquedas(gíria) aqui no seu canal. Que incrível essa sua diversidade linguística! Espero que você aprenda mais e mais o português que é uma língua TÃO BONITA! Beijos.
please make a video specifying how exactly you study, the example of reading both languages and trying to learn new vocabulary was nice
Great ways of learning. I took Spanish in middle school, a friend got me into Korean dramas, and I'm teaching myself Thai. I have a photographic memory when it comes to movies and shows, so watching foreign films, TV, and UA-cam videos (with subtitles when needed), and listening to podcasts, help me the best. I'll also use app as a more fun and relaxing way to learn as well. I love listening to music in the language too.
Oi, sou brasileira e estou amando o seu canal ❤❤ você me inspira a aprender novas linguas, obrigada por tudo.
Hi, I'm French and I started learning Thai a few months ago. This video really motivates me. I think choosing only one resource to focus on in the beginning is important because otherwise you can get overwhelmed.
J'aime beaucoup ta chaine, merci beaucoup pour tes vidéos.
Lao is also very very similar to Thai. YOu can learn it after your Thai skills are good. Allow me a simple piece of advice: TRy to master the tones FiRST ! don't pick up words and words until you can master the tones. Otherwise you'll have serious problems later.
I was surprised also when he said that he would learn two languages at once because I watched a video a few years ago in wich he explained how bad idea it's to do that so he stopped me to try doing it but yeah maybe it's what you said he is now at a learning level that he just can do it. So good for him
I learn Danish and Swedish together and this is so easy because these 2 languages have a lot in common.
@@sydneywellington_cazadora nice, its not impossible to do it I was just remarkable the guy in the video has a video talking about it's bad idea to do it but now he will do it....
@@nalanellmos4525 - I know it's not impossible. I learned 2 languages in my first years of life. For me, it's comfortable and logical.

I learned french and Italian at the same time because they’re pretty similar. Sometimes I would make mistakes between the language, but not that often.
Going to start a video series on this very topic with my class via UA-cam. I am SO encouraged by people with such a passion and genuine joy for learning languages. So envious! Appreciate these videos; very encouraging!
I'm Italian, I'm fluent in English and it's almost two years I'm self-studying Japanese, and now I'm trying to learn Korean too (I've ordered a book and then I found a language exchange partner). One day, I'd like to learn French, Spanish and German, (maybe...) Swedish and even Mandarin. It'd be a dream came true. How do you organize your study each day/week for each language?
P.S. You gave me a lot of inspiration and determination with this channel. Thank you very much!
From where are you learning languages??
This is indeed a very useful video. Please produce more such kind of videos in the future. By the way, I prefer your way of learning languages since it seems quicker and makes people speak a new language ASAP.
Tagalog! Wow goodluck! Ang galing galing mo nman! Im stuck. At school I had the chance to learn French. It’s hard to retain the knowledge since I don’t have the opportunity to use it.
Oooh, you're so amazing, because of you I'm starting to learn a new language, I'm Brazilian and a know a little about English and now a I've started to learning french as well,Thanks so much !!!

Man! Such an honor to be able to receive helpful tips for us language learners. I must admit, I am so bent on perfecting a languages that I am learning that I don’t know how to add additional languages to learn. I passed the DALF C2 for French in 2019 in France and have been concurrently leaning German and Thai. French has been so hard to maintain since I left France! Just passed the German Goethe Prüfung B2 about a month ago. My Thai is like upper beginner. Debating whether adding a new language would be too much at the moment or if it’s better to get an advanced level in German at least before adding another language.
im from the philippines and i find it cute the way u say "tagalog" hahaha

Thank you for this advise
I'm learning English
I agree with you. I like to feel the language first, be immersed. Once I feel comfortable with the language, I learn the spelling. It just feels more natural. This video is great. Luca is such a source of inspiration.
True, my friend
Beaucoup de collab polyglottes en ce moment ça fait plaisir, je me demandais quand ta prochaine vidéo allait sortir haha
Bonne continuation 🙌🏼
My native Language is Spanish and I learned English at school and now that I am in college I am studying French, I have been to Brazil and I kind of speak portuguese, and I used to think that it was enough but now that i have watched your videos i am so motivated and i wanna be a nice Polyglot just like you are
Omg he's been talking much more than you and still 'oh they say Italian talk a lot, I'm kidding haha'
Yeah, he was being rude.
He was really rude. I cringed the entire time.
I know, I felt that way too. For some reason men always talk more than women and the second a woman speaks slightly longer than them they cant handle it. its like...... women are calm and patient with that all the time but men cant handle it for even one conversation.
timestamp?
I love how genuine this videos is, gracias por este video.
I will try these advices to improve my English, I'm feeling stuck with my writing skills.

Writing is challenging, even for native speakers. Tip: copy examples of good writing (copywork). It might seem boring, but it helps. Also, 'advice' is uncountable. Cheers
Luca is definitely one of the top 3 polyglots for me.. can see his experience shining through

Hit me up. I'm interested to learn.
I have been studying English at school for 9 years, and I have not learned anything in comparison, that became my life into English.
Sou brasileiro e me identifiquei muito com esses métodos de aprendizado de idiomas. Eu aprendi a falar grego sozinho ouvindo rádios em online streaming durante o dia todo para me acostumar com o som do idioma, com isso adquiri gosto pela música e pela cultura pop mais contemporânea. Isso me fez traduzir palavra por palavra de todas as músicas que eu mais gostava. Ao ouvir a música sabendo o significado, o idioma passou a fazer sentido na minha mente, e aos poucos passei a compreender diálogos e a conseguir falar o idioma. Consegui aprender a falar grego, inglês, alemão desta maneira.
Gostaria de saber a opinião de vocês sobre o aplicativo Duolingo.
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo interessantíssimo!!
I didn't write in English for to be a challenge to translate it from Portuguese. The bests regards
I love how humble he is.
I personally think that it's logical to start a language at around New Year or on your birthday. That makes sense as these dates can serve as some sort of a countdown system and the date where you analyze all that you've managed to complete and set new goals for the upcoming year (and your personal year if count from your BD).
Good to know, since I'm just now starting a few days after my birthday^^
Muchas gracias. Abrazos de Francia. Aprender una nueva lengua para su mismo. El ingles y el espanol son muy suficientes para mi en mas de mi lengua nativa que es el francés y que enseno tambien .
I'm still improving my English while learning Chinese though it's really hard to learn I really enjoy it it's been a year since I started.

One of the thing to consider while deciding learning a new language is to get familiar with the language do not look how hard the language is just try to learn how to read script , it makes a lot easier to grab the language by watching vedios with subtitles for the same language you are learning , i learned mandarin in just 6 months , and i learned korean hangul within a weak its getting lot easier for me to more familiar
The most frustrating thing is I just can’t retain what I’ve learned that’s bloody suck
This is supposed to happen. If you can retain 10% of the new words you learn that’s great. Just keep repeating high frequency words
Actually, forgetting is the trick to finally retaining words!!! When you forget a word and you come across it again, the chances of you forgetting it again drops significantly each time. So, be happy to forget words!!
@@egwuekwechima4463 yes!! :)
Exactly it’s so frustrating
I've been watching a lot (50+) of videos to prepare myself for leaning a second language. This was the best video--by far. Thank you.
Great, my friend

After this video, I should make a plan to be a polyglot too. It's so cool and helpful if you know lots of langauges. I feel shamed that I am English major and I don't grasp another foreign languages. Thanks for your inspiration.
William Shakespeare I think so. Everything is possible if we tries😊
Eu só sei de uma coisa. Aprender idiomas é parecido com droga, vicia.
E é um caminho sem volta. O legal de tudo que vc é capaz de falar com tanta gente e ler sobre tudo quando aparece na sua frente.
Exatamente kkk
What LUCA stated in this video makes sense to me. Thanks for the tips! I am going to follow those guidelines.
very interesting🙈❤️
Thank you 😊
Very useful! Thank you so much to you both 🤗 I'll follow your tips whenever I'll start a new language from now! (right now I am studying Slovene by myself and I struggled a lot at the beginning, as if I didn't notice about some basic information). Najlepša hvala!!💙

Adesso più che mai vorrei imparare più lingue, ecco perché mi sono inscrito al tuo canale, sei una fonte d'ispirazione per tutti quelli che come me, vogliono essere poliglotti.

I am learning Russian and aside from using the internet I would like to have a hands on tool. Where and what books would be good for me to buy ? Thank you 🙏 😊 ☺️
Hi there, what's is your first language? May be we can help each other.... I'm Russian btw
The Assimil Russian course is decent. If you roughly apply Luca's bi-translational method to that, you'll certainly have gotten your teeth into the language.
Молодец! Учи русский.
What's your mother tongue!?
I agree with no.4 problem , cause I've stucked with so many resources . Thank you for your advice ^^
I'm learning Tagalog 😊 cause my boyfriend is Filipino ❤️❤️❤️ and I love that language!
This is great advice I also think it's important to remember to...just start! I'll spend 2 months trying to perfect the best way of learning a language from scratch when that time would probably have been better spent just studying the language and working out what works best for me as I go.
I m impatient too I wanna learn Chinese I mean I have started but writing skills r poor😂
Wow that's cool!! I have been learning chinese for a year and a half now. I also find the witing a lil hard. I focus on the speaking of the language. I find chinese quite interesting and I love the language. I can only encourage you to learn it. Why do you want to learn the language by the way?
Be Yourself im a chinese ，to be honest writing is much more harder than speaking in chinese. dont worry about it， Most of Chinese can not write some kind of complicated Chinese characters either, because Chinese characters have evolved over thousands of years. It's good enough to be able to communicate
Tony Woks i watched your video，i think your pronunciation is pretty good，加油
@@peicloud8052 For real. I can recognize and read characters that I know but writing them without my phone or computer, but with a pen is hard. Hey I would like to know what you think about my chinese pronunciation, since you are a native. (ua-cam.com/video/lyuXlwV7T4A/v-deo.html)
@@peicloud8052 Thanks a lot. Now I am really glad haha. Are you learning a language too?
They give so many people hope to learn or relearn languages
they really do !! what languages are you learning or relearning ?? lol
I didn't know there are people who actually use the word “senpai” in a daily conversation.
For a Japanese ? Yes
In schools and workplaces the word is used constantly. No matter how close friends two people get if one is their senior they’ll continuing using the term senpai. My bf is Japanese and literally his best friend still calls him senpai in like every sentence because my bf was his senior in their club at school
@@heathersaxton8118 I know that because I'm Japanese. What I wanted to say was that I didn't know non-Japanese people use the word outside of the Internet.
Aha I see! Yeah a lot of people use it all the time without even thinking about it lol
Yep. It's like oppa in korean. Ppl use it a lot
Thanks for the video! I’ve been subscribed for a while, but there were only 2 videos on the channel. I’m glad to see more!
I follow a lot of the same methods as you guys. I definitely agree with the statement that very few people reach fluency in the classroom. I start by learning the sounds of the language and the sentence structure. I’ll use any similarities between the target language and languages I already know to help me remember the target language. My goal isn’t to learn all the words in the dictionary, it’s more to learn a good base. Then I learn more in the areas of my life I use most (work, hobbies, etc.). Then I use the good base as building blocks to learn more of the language. Another important thing is to start talking with NATIVE SPEAKERS as soon as possible.
Hi, I hope you're doing well.
You said that you immerse yourself in the target environment and you try to catch as many inputs as you can.
I d like to know what is the tip you use to recall all what you learn automatically when it's needed so you sound native?
How do you train your brain to build up sentences quickly and effortlessly?
PI : when you're actually in a country where the target language is not regularly used and consequently you don't afford to meet someone to speak with.
I'm asking you this because I feel that basically there is an unbalance between the outputs (speaking &writing) and if it's possible to regulate this disorder by your own.
Thank you.
Thanks for the wonderful video. I’m from Japan. You seem to be following what doctor Krashen states. I agree with you at the point that you prioritize as much input as you could get rather than writing. I’ve been learning Mandarin myself and doing what you do, like watch drama, UA-cam videos whatever they are as massive input to absorb, and the app ‘HelloTalk’ to systematically learn the language. Your videos keep me motivated so much! I’m really grateful for that! I thank and support you!
You should do a singing video in different languages. That would be cool.
Hi, thank you for your interest in learning our language. I am a fan now. I am currently learning thai and korean all at the same time and your advices helped me a lot. More power and God bless
I would like to learn korean but it sounds difficult especially letters..
keep going! I can read and write the korean alphabet but im not fluent in forming some sentences in korean. I know sum basics bc of watching kdramas. I remember cheating on a learn korean app but end up learning the alphabet lmaooooo keep going
@@prettyjeans9003 Wow That is excellent . Certainly I started learning too.
actually hangul, the korean writing system, as been regarded as one of the easiest scripts to learn! so start there! i recomend using korean in 90 days ( i think thats what its called) to learn the letters because it helps you remember them in very creative ways
Go for it
The hangul is easy. I recommend you that you watch the group's performances, always in the corner there is a karaoke and for example if Jennie of BlackPink say "a" and the karaoke starts with an "아" I knew that "아" means "a" xd Like this I learned the hangul.
Sorry for my bad english :(
I don't agree with sticking to only one resource. I like to change resources. Many times I hear or read some word in one sourse and then I see or here it in another. Then I remember I have heard it before. I'm happy that I understand it and this way the word consolidates in my memory and I can already understand it in two contexts!
I know 4 languages & able to learn 15 more, but too busy by getting money.
How do you guys with more than 7 languages, earn money?
It takes a lot of time
most of them work on activities that are related or where they use the languages they speak.
for example:
language coach
language tutor
do business with several countries
tourism
and so on.

@@SaidMaximov nowadays that issue has been reduced thanks to the Internet, so imagine that you are a language coach, so you can organize sessions with your clients through Skype, or other any other platform, also by having clients all over the world could be beneficial for your income.

I have a Question, how did you learn Japanese Specifically? I mean did you study the Writing systems first (Hiragana, Kanji etc.)??? Then Vocab memorization? I have hard time learning languages and I really wanted to Learn Nihongo 😅
Hey buddy, I know how to speak nihongo but I read like baby, I learned hiragana and katakana but I don't know many kanjis. I have many friends in the same situation as me, we talk and understand well but we don't read or write. The best way is learning exchange, there are many website where you can meet a native Japanese who want learn other languages, so, get a book (online) to learn Japanese conversation, share with the Japanese friend , and study with a reference book. You do the same with him, teach your native language with reference book. You going to learn very fast, believe me.
Marco M Ooohhhh, thank you for sharing and for the ideas 💡
i also agree with what christine said about the writing. Especially if you're learning a language with a complicated writing system like japanese or chinese... learning spelling can slow you down. like she said, just learn how to read so you can learn with more material
I was just curious - is it okay to learn a handful of languages simultaneously? Or do you have to do only one language at a time? I really want to learn Korean and Japanese at the same time, but I think it's gonna be hard to do so😅
I think it's better that you focus on one at least until you achieve a comfortable level in that language. I find starting 2 languages from a beginner level at the same time, very difficult.
Is True. I'm from Brazil and one polyglot in for languade:Portuguese, English,Spanish and Italian and keep focus in one languade is Very important to Learn
Im from Colombia, Im happy because I can understand almost every word they are saying, its incredible how I could learn english so fast, now Im a bilingual guy, I speak spanish and english, and maybe the next languages Im gonna learn are portuguese and german at the same time
