I am Vietnamese and I can relate to this. When I was a child (8-14), I often watched foreign channels like Discovery, NatGeo, or Hollywood films. Most of the time, subtitles were unavailable. Despite not understanding the speeches, I could still grasp the situation and try to interpret them. My English skills improved unexpectedly; suddenly, tests became effortless as I automatically knew the answers and what was next then became no.1 student even though I hadn't really learned any grammar before. However, now it seems easy to understand the inputs, output tasks are much more challenging like rn i'm trying to gather every single words to express these thoughts
American who speaks English and Japanese fluently and now working in Korean as my 3rd language. This video gave me inspiration to keep going and believe in the power of input! Also your English is amazing!
Ah yes Dr Brown's AGL i think. They used to say, don't speak until you have done 700 hours of listening. But if you want to speak sooner then speak sooner. I believe he also invented cross talk.
This looks like its going to be a really interesting case study. I'd love to see more regular updates though, maybe each 100 hours rather than just one more after 800 hours. I've just made a video on my own channel about looking into this method (ALG) and deciding I'm not going to switch to it. Mostly because I've already been learning Thai for a few years so I missed the opportunity for the silent period they advocate for and I have tried to watch their content and found it too boring to maintain my focus. There are others who are documenting their progress with the full ALG method but I don't think anyone is doing it on UA-cam so you could be the first. The main claims for this method are; 1) It produces better pronunciation 2) Its faster than other methods Since you've studied other languages, it would be great to hear your comparison on the speed and also compare your pronunciation to people who have learned through other methods.
Great job, thanks for sharing! I think I've heard about that school. Getting comprehensible input has always been key to learning a language. I'm currently learning my parents' native language (Amharic). I was never taught the language but picked up some basic words over the years from overhearing conversations of relatives. what's interesting is that I didn't only pick up words, my "interpretative" comprehension skills were pretty good and I even internalized parts of the grammat which is rather complex. I've been immersing everyday for the last weeks and it's going well :3 I might start a yt channel to document it..

"Can you learn a language just by listening?" What do babies do?
Learning is different from repetition... And child has all day to do this

Will be a sub if that happens.
Here we go Thai language learner 🗣️🗣️
How effective is this method
It works, but it takes time. I learned english just by listening and it take... More than 1000 hours? You'll need patience.
