    if u wanna enrich your vocabulary, u gotta make habit of taking notes while listening a podcast or warching a movie. An index notebook and a pencil great tools for that matter.

    YES YES YES!!!! Vocabulary ... and I will add PRONUNCIATION is more important than endlessly learning grammar! I agree! I only speak 3 languages but I can definitely say that good pronunciation of vocabulary is more important for communication than having a perfect grammatical structure in your sentences

  • @sajidahanif2811
    @sajidahanif2811 3 роки тому +4

    Nice video! My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

    Dear Keith. Your videos are and have always been amazing. I would simply say "I'm loving it"(your UA-cam channel). I wonder if I could use NOT full but part of your this video on my another youtube channel. Cheers!😀
