My mind is blown. I wish all languages were taught like this.
It takes a lot of time and work on a teacher's part to implement this method.
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864 For one teacher yes, but it only needs to be made once. Ideally you could have several teachers collaborating to make one perhaps paid resource.
Maybe you would like to check the app Drops, it teaches you in a similar way, I personally do not like it that much, but you can check by yourselves:)
The problem is: Esperanto was built to be easy to speak and understand. It's the easiest language to learn.
This is what Stephen Krashen talks about, comprehensible imput. I wish all the languages were taught like that.
Same
I was sure that this would get boring after the third repetition, but I actually watched it to the end. It is almost hypnotising, I like it a lot. Plus non-english-native people like me can learn with these videos very well.
Glad to hear! That was one of my fears.
I agree: I found myself following along and enjoying it. In some ways (and in some contexts) repetition is satisfying - this seems to be one.
True. My native language is not English (It's my second language), but the tutorial is very good!
"Vi estas Francis."
Kio? Mi ne estas Francis, mi esta--
"Vi estas Francis."
Mi... estas... Francis...?
"VI ESTAS FRANCIS!"
Jes, mi estas Francis, mia dio.
Serioze, ĉi tio estis vere bonfarita. Dankon!
Vi estas bona Francis
Funny!!! Sorta felt like I too was being hypnotized into thinking I was a small child named Francis ha!
Even more funny! I only learned this language even existed two days ago. One day of looking around online, signing up for Lernu.net and I pretty much understand this entire joke :) That’s freaking amazing to me!!!
Ni ĉiuj estas Francis. Nia dio nomiĝis nin tiel, estas nia honoro porti tian sakran nomon.
Starting new year with a resolution to finally get fluent in Esperanto. Wish me luck!
I've got to say, I never had much drive to learn Esperanto. I knew what it was and a bit about it's history, but it never really stuck out to me. Hearing it in this context makes it feel so much more alive than what I previously heard from it, and now can't wait to see more!
That is awesome to hear :D
i feel like an infant being taught language for the first time
And you'll be all the better for it :)
it strongly represents how we learned our first language - without textbooks arranged by grammar rules - we learned by watching and listening - except in this case - our teacher has with great effort arranged the conversations into bite-sized pieces that build up our conversational skill - i've been looking - hunting - searching - for this - you can't' imagine how excited i was to find this
it's the best way to learn!
You should setup a YT channel membership or Patreon, I'd definitely donate to support this series.
Thanks! My patreon is now in the description of the films. I can’t setup a UA-cam membership until I’m a 1000 subs from memory.
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864 Yet you're growing so fast you're half way there already
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864 So close!! Thank you so much for taking the time and effort out to do all this man. It's incredibly well appreciated from us all.
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864look at how far you've come in these 3 years :) i'm so mad i didn't find this channel sooner, it's fantastic
I never been a fan of the Direct Method based on my experience learning Italian with a teacher who used said method, but the method didn't worked with me, mainly because she didn't used the practice of gestures and drawings. I will watch this videos with enthusiasm
I hope this series works for you. I find that a direct method approach needs a lot of thinking on the teachers part. The good thing with videos is I can take my time and plan out each lesson to be as effective as possible. Hopefully I achieve that.
It strikes me that one can effectively use not only gestures and drawings, but also photographs, maps, and charts and props such as: cookware and tableware; articles of clothing; tools; household supplies, models (trains, planes, buildings, boats, etc.), and so on.

Wow, you're a really good teacher. Confident, instructive and keeping it simple. Too many teachers try to dive into all the different 'exceptions' which will just go over a beginners head. Not you though.
I've always believed in the 'direct method' but you execute it perfectly. I wished you did this with more languages or perhaps hired people that spoke other languages and made videos with you as part of a small company.
Thank you so much for those kind words. Unfortunately, the only other language I speak is Mandarin and I'm not a native so if I do one day decide to teach it I would have to get natives involved.
there shouldn't be any exceptions in Esperanto - that was a prime motive in its development
I like to think you remember our little discussions, but something I don't think I've ever expressed to you is how ridiculously incredible you are as a person. You've done more for your ideals than pretty much anyone I know at anything, and it's kind of inspiring.
I remember our discussions :) Thank you so much for you kind words!
WOW, I was kind of scared going into it but yeah that stuff sticks.
This was actually a blast to watch and very helpful. I didn't appreciate being called a homo though half way through
Watching UA-cam videos about the Latin language, made me come back here to start Esperanto all over again in the morning and French at night. More videos, please!!. Dankon!.
Full course so far is here: ua-cam.com/play/PL5buyXOt7rUYUcw7E-NFpiglAivc8ZRnM.html
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864 I am sooo excited. Dankon!
Thank you! Hope this series goes viral. So many benefits to this method: It's accessible to ANY language speaker, at any level. Any confusion and challenge means it's being retained (with practice) in long term memory.
This is my first and only experience with Esperanto. I think I understood almost every word in this lesson. I speak Spanish so a lot of the vocab looked familiar to me. Great job on this video! I look forward to learning more.
Excellent! I only recently started making this course but have 6 videos up already for you to try out! Good luck :D
Mi ŝatas ĉi tiun metodon. Dankon Evildea.
Nedankinde
Bona leciono, sed eble pli bona diri 'Mi estas instruisto, vi estas studento.' Kial? Ĉar mi ne estas Francis, mi estas Pearson.
It's amazing how I can understand this language this much. Thank you.

this method looks great
im in a intermediate level, will this method help me at some point to go to the advanced/fluent level?
Yes I intend on making it a full course. It will take a long time before I make videos that cover fluent conversation as I’m starting for literally the beginning but I definitely want to make this one giant comprehensive course.
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864 Mi atendos, mi atendos! Mi volas paroli bone. Mi pretas pagxi cxion por paroli kaj flue pensi en Esperanto. Gxis baldaux!
One great advantage of a direct-method course is that it can be used by any student, regardless of the student's native language. That is, make a variety of Esperanto Direct Method 01 videos (perhaps 00 would be better - math textbooks often have a Chapter 0 just to set out the basic foundation the course presumes): separate videos for speakers of English, French, German, Norwegian, Russian, Mandarin, Japanese, Maori, Tamil, Swahili, etc. - you can probably get volunteers who are native speakers of those languages to make the videos using the script (which you would provide in Esperanto) to create the video in their native language. Then Direct Method 02 can be used by ALL - it becomes a Universal Course in the Universal language. I look forward to this.
My focus will first be to build out a decent library of videos. Once I’ve done that I’ll get others to make some intro films in different languages for me.
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864 - Excellent. I had a few more thoughts, and put them in a blog post (leisureguy.wordpress.com/2020/06/08/the-direct-method-of-teaching-esperanto-via-youtube/). As I note there, a full script is not needed for the Chapter 0 native-language video - a simple bulleted list of points to make and points to stress is sufficient (one point being to provide a link to the Chapter 1 video of the main course). That list should, obviously, be in Esperanto - the whole point is to finesse translations.
The Chapter 0 bulleted list doesn't need to be distributed: just include it in the text description of your own chapter 0 where Esperantists in various countries can see it. Given the enthusiasm for the language (and the teaching of it) that most Esperantists seem to have, I don't think you'll have to get others to make Chapter 0 videos for you, I think such videos will be spring up in a variety of languages simply because some will be moved to make them as a contribution to the spread of Esperanto - especially since by making one brief video in their native language they can direct people to an entire course that is accessible to them (because it uses direct method).
What''s more, I think your direct-method course will serve as a common core for add-on videos. That is, some of these enthusiasts will later make videos in Esperanto, using your course as the foundation - that is, they can assume that their viewers have acquired the Esperanto taught in your course, so they can build on that to provide ancillary instruction (in Esperanto) in their own country's culture (foods, fashions, etc.) and/or their own areas of interest (hobbies, occupations, gardening, etc.). With your DM core course as the basis (and exemplifying the method), others can build outward in branches, especially since they can use the basic Esperanto taught in your course.
One thing that might help those wanting to make add-on videos: in the text comment on each of your video, list the Esperanto words introduced in the video - just the Esperanto, though later in the course brief definitions in Esperanto could be included, though at that point a link to www.simplavortaro.org might serve even better. The list of "available vocabulary" would be helpful as a quick review for students and as a guide for those who want to make add-ons: that would be the Esperanto they could use in their add-on without having to explain it.
I would expect these add-on videos to use some direct-method tools used - that is, only Esperanto spoken, along with support materials specific to what they are teaching - materials such as pictures, diagrams, gestures, props (tools, models, clothing, musical instruments, etc.) to use in teaching the specialized vocabulary (the basic vocabulary already provided via your course).
In summary, I think you're really onto something. You might want to include a "contribute" button so that people who enjoy the course can contribute some to defray production expenses.
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864 Hi Evildea, Francis here (apparently). I've had a lot of luck with this method before by taking a copyright-free story (I chose Bram Stoker's Dracula) and then completely rewriting the first 20 or so chapters due to the lack of words. Then after that it reaches a point where you can start following the original story using the grammar and vocabulary the students now know and then it goes from there. Then by the end you are pretty much just translating the story almost word for word.
Just thought I'd mention the story hook because that seems to be the thing that helps bring a massive series like this to a conclusion while giving the students something to look forward to every episode / chapter.
Yes, I plan to start reading later on in the language and explaining unknown words as we reach them using the words the listener already knows.
Vi estas tre bona sed, la prononco de vortoj kiel "homoj" kaj "bestoj" ĉiam havas la akcenton sur la unua silabo, ne sur la "o" de "oj".
"This is very skiny version of you"
So it's a natural version of me xDDDDD
Bro this new system is blowing my Mind!! Im liking it XD
i love this method, i just watch it yesterday and will rewatch again
This is excellent! The best teaching method I have eperienced.
I hope you continue learning! :D
Wow! I see how you're doing this! I think this's the best method for learning a language. This method's far easier for me to understand and pick up on.
Saluton. Mi estas lernado Esperanto. Mi estas komencanto. Tri tagoj. Mi Havas unu hundon. Lia nomo estas Oliver.
Very cool video! Would be insteresting to see how the method cope with more abstract terms, but I guess I'll have to watch out in the next videos :-)
Excellent to hear!
Saluton kaj Dankon! Vi estas tre bona instruisto kaj vi jam instruis min multe. Bonvolu pardoni min cxar mi faris multajn erarojn. Gxis la revido.
I have got to see where this goes. I'm subscribed and can't wait for the rest.
Thanks!
Vi estas *tiel* aminda, tiu maniero de instrui vere montriĝas agrabla!
I started to learn Esperanto just two days ago. I want to make a kind of experiment, am I able to learn a new language using only internet, UA-cam and mobile application?
Let's see!
I have watched this first episode and I bought is straight away. This is how I learned English language back in the day 😊.
Subscribed at first sight!
I knew about this method before but it didn't know it's name I really wanted to look it up
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was great.
I'm just playing with the language at the moment, I'm mostly monolingual (I speak broken Greek).
I find this a really easy way to memorise thing.
I suppose it's like a baby learning a word for the first time
At first I was like "Oh no... This sounds like it's going to be incredibly difficult...", but it ended up being AWESOME, it didn't feel like I was translating it, my brain just ticked and I understood, it didn't feel unnatural, it felt like I was listening to someone speak in Afrikaans (my native language) or English
Thank you so much :)
Wow!! What a super way of teaching! I´m an English coach for beginners and your method is so great! Thanks for this inspration! Learning this way is funny and easy. And I also want to say that you are so likeable. :-)
This was the method I learnt to teach TOEFL English. It really works. Stick with it. Although, if an English speaker, you’ll never quite see the accusative case (object case) the same way again! But this is the current way to teach English to non-English speakers. My guess is it’s used to teach other languages also.
Vi estas bonega instruisto, sed vi ne kapablas paroli Esperanton... la jo ne estas vokalo! Bèstoj, hòmoj...
💖💖💖👍😃
Thank you
Just found these lessons
Starting today 😁
(Love your old stuff that I listened to a lot!)
So happy to find new content from you!
Saluton Evildea! Mi ne estas Francis. :p Mi estas Fredrika.
I understood 95% of the vedio you are really talented
Saluton mia dio. Vi estas bonega instruisto de Esperanto. Kaj vi estas ankaŭ bonega ambasadoro de ĉi tiu lingvo.
Dankon!!!
Oh man I knew nothing of Esperanto and now I want to learn it. Subscribed 👍🏻 this method works already!!
I’m so happy to hear this :)
Sin duda aprender esperanto de esta forma es la base para aprender otros idiomas.
I understood every word except atendu which I presume means something along the lines of pay attention or watch. Will be watching everything you post bro!
Please make a video about accusative case I am so confused about it
Ho, vi estas ja Evildea! Mi [recognize]as via [voice]on.
Hehe Jes ja, mi estas Evildea. Vi sukcese rekonis mian voĉon.
Dude I'm 30 seconds into the vid and I already love it. You're so amazingly dedicated and genuinely passionate.
I was hoping to find something like this. I've been thinking about learning a language by a similar method. Only I was thinking that a lesson would start with one or two words from the known language and building from there. Glad I found something similar already exists. Looking forward to taking the course.
Looking forward to more videos in this series! I'm subscribed.
Bone? Bone! Tre bone. Mi gxi sxatas! Gxis! 😄❤️✌️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved this! Can't wait for the rest of the series!
Two more are already up on the channel :D
Awesome method! Thanks for your work!
Loved this. Subscribed :) please keep this up it's so helpful
Brilliant !!!! Didn't expect to see this the first youtube result !!!! I LOVE it already
This is pretty good. Thanks for this! I intend to check out the rest of the series.
Génial. Thanks for it.
Glad you like it!
Dankon! This video is super helpful!
I'm French and I'm in !
Excellent
Thank you so so so much!!!!🙏🙏 🙏 Great, amazing lesson 👍👍👍👍
Please continue to do that you do🙏🙏🙏
Dude, you got some serious skills! Thanks brother!
Really interesting! Was able to mostly follow it without knowing anything about the language.
I’m really interested to know what parts you found hard since you don’t speak the language. That way I can try improve on my next video with that in mind.
I assumed the wrong meaning for the word estas. Switched between "name is" and "am" in my mind. Watching it again, it's obvious my mistake now.
@@MrLanchbury I have the same concern that someone might think "estas" means "nomigxas" early in the video. But by the time you got to "Mi estas homo" people would start scratching their heads ;)
This is so much easier! Thank you!!
Great method! Thank you. Dankon!
You're welcome!
This is amazing, sir!! It was very easy to catch on what you are saying the entire video, and this is my first time learning! Thank you!
Fantastic video
Love it love it!!! Thanks mate :)
I got to look up this very concept for when learning other languages, like Persian.
Great video! I wanna learn English this way too! 🙏🙏👏👏👏👏
Saluton! Mi lernas Esperanto kaj Hispano
Dankon Evildea! Via ideo estas bonega!!
If you want i can provide you with french and italian subtitles of the first minutes of introduction, so more people could potentially join.
I think this type of videos can definitely go viral. Unfortunately, if it was another language it would probably would have more probability of going viral because there isn't many people that are interested in Esperanto.
That's probably true. Hopefully, however, these videos will bring more people to Esperanto. A language I love and find valuable :)
@@learnesperanto-directmetho4864 I found you because someone reposted you on Reddit r/languagelearning. I suggest, if you don't already have, to check that community, it's truly great.
Thx for the video it was very intresting and funny this is the best away to learn esperanto thank you!!
Gratulon! Por via metodo!
tysm, its really good method to learn.
This is so good. I'm going to show this to my kids tomorrow.

My hubby & I are busy, but loving it (1 vid per day). I see it as a substantial contribution to Esperanto and to relationships. How can we make this go viral? 🌿💚🌿
Bonega filmeto. Saluton el Cxilio!
Oh! I have wanted TPRS for Esperanto for so long! I'm so glad! And taught by Evildea, mia dio! But -- shouldn't 11:02 say, "Mi estas dio. Vi estas homo. NI estas estuloj." ..?

This was awesome. Than you.
