📲 The app I use to learn languages: tinyurl.com/yvnff3v3 🆓 My 10 FREE secrets to language learning: tinyurl.com/3jm5a6x2 ❓Do you think learning languages will ever become obsolete? Let me know in the comments!
Lingq is amazing. The best language app I've seen. This is definitely a gift to the language learning community. I'm currently using it to learn German. Love it!
I’m 60 years old and have been learning languages most of my life. And I can say looking back to the 1970s and 80s, the quick availability of online dictionaries and apps like Reverso have made language learning so much easier. Back in the da,y to learn a new word, you had to open a physical book and find the word one by one and then write it down on a card or on a piece of paper or in a little paper book. Those days are gone and you can carry everything on your little iPhone, not only that you have access to spoken language on the Internet, which didn’t exist when I was young. What a great time to be alive as a language learner!
As a language learner, I think the AI boom has been a blessing. If we learn how to use these tools well, it won't only make language learning more fun, it will make it faster and more effective.
@@pauld3327 I'm not the OP, but I use Chat to drill sentences, and Chat is also good at explaining grammar points. I'm studying Japanese. It's not 100% or to the point where it can replace a native-speaking teacher, but it's still very helpful.
Aí has been amazing but also worrying how will we have a future. I was looking at working with translation and realistically that will go away within a couple years. I imagine a lot of other careers will go the same way
I just discovered your channel, and I like it a lot. I've been trying to learn Spanish for about 30 years, and I guess I'm gonna go to my grave still trying, 'cause I'm not going to give up--ever. I enjoy the struggle and the challenge and the creativity which I need to summon in order to continue in my quest master Spanish. I can identify with what you are teaching in your videos and look forward to following you in the future.
I love your approach to learning and openness. I know you’ve stated this before but I would bet your advantage in learning lies in your openness to novelty and new experiences.
Thanks Steve -- another great video!! Yes -- I think the biggest breakthroughs were 1) the development of writing and books, 2) availability of audio tapes, CDs, and other audio, and 3) that there is so much content is easily available a little to no cost for language learners (text, books, audio, and video). Would be interesting to put a number behind the efficiency gain of the sum of all these technologies on language learning as compared to someone learning back in the day in ancient Egypt, or someone learning a language in the 1800s. Let's say it takes 600 hours to reach basic fluency in a language that is similar to English. Can technology help you shave 10% or 20% off this time -- or maybe even 30% or even more? Would be an interesting question to try an answer? Still takes a lot of time to learn a language -- technology can't change that -- it's not revolutionary -- but would be interesting to have a better understanding of potential efficiencies.
using augmented reality.. you can even turn it on its head.. and for example say you live in the US.. as you look at anything in english with translate ON.. .but Reverse it! choose english as the language and translate it into say Japanese which your studying.. suddenly everything around you suddenly becomes in the language your trying to learn!.
Good evening : Hi Steve Kaufman, I really enjoyed and benefited a lot from hearing you talk about the role of technology in language learning and how we can use it to meet our needs in this area. Being obsessed with learning languages, especially French and English, I always follow everything you say on UA-cam, and I try as much as possible to benefit from your experiences and expertise in this field, because the reviews are multiple and sometimes contradictory regarding the best ways to learn languages, which is a thorny and multifaceted subject. Overall, I'm glad I had the opportunity to get to know you through your UA-cam channel, and I look forward to following everything you post on your channel as well as your website, thank you. Sincerely
I think you're underestimating the potential of LLMs. It can be a personal language tutor available 24/7 everywhere that can generate text of any level on any subject and explain to you things you might not have understood. It's huge. I personally ask Claude to write me a text at my level for me to read everyday. More advanced learners could converse with it too.
In the past we can only learn from books and teachers. Now we have apps,online courses,we listens music watch news . All sorts of ways approaching a foreign language
I have been researching for a few days and I have not reached any results, can those who know English help me? 1- What should I pay attention to when practicing speaking and how should I work? 2- What should I pay attention to when listening and how should I practice? 3- What should I pay attention to while reading and how should I practice? 4- What should I pay attention to when writing and how should I practice?
These are very general questions and the problem is that everyone learns differently and is motivated differently -- so no 100% correct answer. I would definitely recommend you watch a boatload of Steve Kaufman videos and you will learn a ton of good language learning techniques.
Through ages I've been sleeping awake. Amusing myself by learning languages - Portuguese and English ✅️🤩, French, German and Romanian ☑️😭. Now that I've realized that I've gone too far and far enough the time's come and set to speed up things from 20% to 80% or above, on average. I'm into as it turns me on.
The same devices that give you augmented reality will very soon translate to you in real-time every language with exceptional gpt like accuracy... It wont kill language learning but it will definitely make it obsolete in terms of communication
That may well come to pass, but there's nothing like doing it yourself for some things for some people. Looking at some of the services now to learn languages eg LingQ, the combination of different technologies is certainly amazingly helpful for the LEARNING process of languages and AI as aid also in that suite. The question of use and practical need is additional to the above: Pragmatic people may have goals eg making money that as you say won't need the above learning process (!) but I have a small hunch tech will probably lead to an explosion of people wanting to learn languages off their own back. :-))
yea i am still young compared to you but back in the 1990s i only had interest in English because i thought it would be too hard to learn other languages just because i couldn't hear them often. no internet just tv that mostly had American movies with Dutch subtitles French and German may have been possible too. because of my location but anything not spoken within a 300km radius was almost impossible unless you were rich and wanted to import tapes from other countries. and even that wouldn't be easy since some countries used different video standards sometimes even the format itself was different .like in the early 2000s i went to Thailand and all the movies were on video cd a format that flopped in Europe in the early 90s .at first i thought they were dvds and thought wow this country is quite high tech even in Belgium half the population still used vhs. but the quality of a video cd is on par with vhs and when dvds got popular they had region locking too. and even when i started using the internet regularly it was 99% English until 2010 but slowly more sites added multilingual support and stuff in other languages started showing up. like 10 years ago i started having a lot of annoying moments online when i googled something and everything was in Hindi. or i played an online game and the players in my group only spoke Spanish and i thought wouldn't it be handy if i know those languages but now i have the ability to learn them in the same way as how i learned English. no more boring classes just doing what i like but in another language .
Whisper AI made me come to the same conclusion. In the past I was afraid of watching some shows with no German transcript because they could've been too difficult. I then used Whisper to generate the subs and after a few shows, I'm only using them very sparingly because I've achieved so much more comprehension thanks to this motivation boost. The "next step" in terms of making language learning more fun would be AI generated dubs in any language, imagine rewatching your favourite movies dubbed in a language that doesn't typically have dubs or even in a dead language maybe, who knows.
If it's a dead language AI won't work well -- because AI needs to be trained on content. On rare languages -- not interested in learning any of those and AI still needs to be trained and the lack of content for a language may affect how well it works. I do agree with you that having "subtitles" is a great boon -- but on major languages you could already do that -- either by humans -- or by non-AI translation technology. So yeah -- not so sure how much AI really adds.
@@quantus5875 I mean, who knows what people come up with to train an AI on Latin or something, maybe there will be a time when it's a lot more simple and streamlined and anyone can do it with limited written content, who knows. In terms of subs, no you can't, not even in major languages. Sure you can find German shows like Dark with matching German subs; but try finding matching subs for most German dubs and you'll see what I mean. The subs don't match, or you can't even find them because the show is too obscure. Also, I didn't mean subs in your native language of a show, those would be useless; I meant subs in your target language for a dub, that's in your target language. You can't just generate the subs of, say, the Game of Thrones dub with Google translate and even if you could, it'd be a lot less practical than just generating the script.
@@Aadrian7 I'm learning Portuguese and I find that there is a ton of content that has subtitles, easily IMO more than I would ever need for the purposes of language learning. I agree that it would be super nice to have everything with subtitles, i.e. watch my favorite shows -- but there is IMO so much content for the major languages. I agree with you that it would be awesome to have everything in subtitles (and really need for the less common languages) -- all I'm saying it's by no means is AI or non-AI translation software any kind of game changer, it's just an evolutionary improvement. Do agree that it would be nice to have everything run through translation software so that everything has subtitles. Note translation software does not need to be generative AI, (generative AI is just one way of doing translation) and then ideally have a human expert take that 90-95% output and make it 99-100% accurate. Translation software would make it much less expensive to create subtitles for everything.
Steve, try making the GPT create advanced grammar sentences and see how flawed it can get. E.g. conditionals Many times I had to correct it for my English students. And the level of other languages is even worse so beware of the mistakes. Oddly enough, the vocabulary of AI is super advanced.
Hello Steve, Do you think recent developments in translation tools (earphones that translate languages in real-time) are going to have a huge impact on language learning? Will language learning have any tangible or practical benefits given our context? I've been learning Khmer, and it's really fun and engaging, but the recent developments in tech make it seem pretty impractical. Which is not all bad, I guess!
AI can be good for creating comfortable and diverse inclusive programs with people who don't speak the language. Or to teach children more in the same time, this is a blessing😊
Well, given the fact that generally people's attention span is rather short today and once the initial hype is over many people will simply resort back to conventional ways of language learning, it's just like a shiny new toy that eventually gets old
@@subhadas7659 There will be lots of hype as long as people are trying to sell you products. Don't know what the efficiency gain is re: using technology and I assume it varies by person. Maybe get a 20% efficiency gain from using technical products to help you learn a language. Although I would argue all you really need and it's free -- is a boatload of free UA-cam content in the target language -- that and other content platforms -- awesome!!
I am simply very scared of investing all this time and work now, with the danger of some device or app coming out in 20 or 30 years, that will make analog language learning completely obsolete. I dont know what that device would look like or what it would do, but I mean technology is developing very rapidly. Brain chips, google glasses and what not.
If you don’t invest the time now and the magic device or app doesn’t appear, then you still won’t know a language. But if you do invest the time now and the magic device or app does appear, then you can learn another one that way. Win/win!
Realistically you probably have around 50 to 60 years left before you yourself are "obsolete" forever. Why be upset if you get to do something rewarding and enriching for half your remaining life instead of all of it?
Ehhh, I wouldn’t worry. It can take you what, 2-5 years to get fluent? You are not going to look back in 30 years and think, oh wow what a huge waste of time. It’s like learning drums and then regretting it because they invented midi. People like authentic communication. We can already pretty much instantly translate languages with our phones. Not everyone is gonna have or want a brain chip, and if you travel around to rural areas it will still be useful
Uhh... Hello ,Steve. I just wanted to ask, how do you immerse oneself in a language? Because i dont learn a language out of necessity, i kearn it for fun, i had started learning 17 kanguages, trying to find a language thst sticks, nothing ever did. And it may just be because of kack if immersion, i mean, i have never seen a swedish or greek video,and even if i did, i dont think one or 2 are enough to learn the language. I watch anime, read a few books in japanese,and can probably order food in japanese, cuz there was a level of inmersion...
IMO you need some kind of reason to motivate you. Motivation is the #1 thing you need -- in a way having to learn a language for some reason -- is also a form of motivation. Not ideal but it is a form of motivation. IMO if you are truly motivated -- you will learn. Find that reason -- and you will learn.
Busuu is great for keeping track of progression as you level up the stuff they cover in the lessons is quickly to the point so not to press too hard with spaced repetition. You can't get to the next level of a language without testing through.
I have to disagree about ChatGPT, in the strongest possible terms. It is EXTREMELY inaccurate on every subject. Its goal is to do one thing: output text that looks like it was written by a human. Accuracy is not part of the equation AT ALL. It should never, ever, ever be used as a source of information.
Sorry. Here are a few. www.youtube.com/@hikmatwehbipodcast, www.youtube.com/@sardeafterdinner, www.youtube.com/@podcastwithnayla, www.youtube.com/@MTVLebanonNews Enjoy
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I wonder if you would be interested in doing at least 20 customised short videos with an average duration of 3 minutes whose content I will provide. You are expected to present the content.
If the idea appeals to you, I should be more than happy to discuss details with you. All best.
My take is the following: It's fifteen years from now. A bunch of simultaneous interpreters are working an international negotiation. They're all mic'd up. A few of the countries are cheap so they're just relying on AI for their simultaneous translations..The system gets hacked and somebody is messing with the translations and causing misinterpretations and misunderstandings......Uh, oh...However, the human interpreters pick up on what's happening and immediately the IT people shut down all WIFI and the simultaneous interpreters get back to work, the negotiations resume, all misunderstandings are cleared up. Yeah. Language learning is going to be more important than ever going forward.
You don't even need a hacker for that scenario. The reality is that AI translations are very poor, and should never be relied upon for anything requiring any kind of accuracy.
It won't. It might eliminate the need for many translators (translation as a profession), but there will always be a need for language learning as long as humans speak different languages.
I didn't watch the video but considering the title i would say i don't like textbooks they are just dull and boring, with technology and gamified solutions learning language is more entertaining

Yes, that was my thought, too. AI translations are terrible. It's decent for individual words, but still less useful than a dictionary.
Hello Steve,
Do you think recent developments in translation tools (earphones that translate languages in real-time) are going to have a huge impact on language learning? Will language learning have any tangible or practical benefits given our context?

Sorry. I will add in the links next time. I intend to talk about Arabic again.
Sorry. Here are a few.

Hello,
I hope you are doing well.
I wonder if you would be interested in doing at least 20 customised short videos with an average duration of 3 minutes whose content I will provide. You are expected to present the content.
If the idea appeals to you, I should be more than happy to discuss details with you.
All best.
Technology has already revolutionised language learning.
My take is the following: It's fifteen years from now. A bunch of simultaneous interpreters are working an international negotiation. They're all mic'd up. A few of the countries are cheap so they're just relying on AI for their simultaneous translations..The system gets hacked and somebody is messing with the translations and causing misinterpretations and misunderstandings......Uh, oh...However, the human interpreters pick up on what's happening and immediately the IT people shut down all WIFI and the simultaneous interpreters get back to work, the negotiations resume, all misunderstandings are cleared up.
Yeah. Language learning is going to be more important than ever going forward.
You don't even need a hacker for that scenario. The reality is that AI translations are very poor, and should never be relied upon for anything requiring any kind of accuracy.
@@whitemakesright2177 Agreed.
Agreed. Language learning will always be important as long as people speak different languages.
Please I want to learn English❤❤❤
Just learn it.
However, will AI kill our reason for learning languages?
For example by killing all the language-related jobs?
It won't. It might eliminate the need for many translators (translation as a profession), but there will always be a need for language learning as long as humans speak different languages.
Im building an app with AI that makes language learning much more fun and less of a chore. Specifically for Japanese...
I didn't watch the video but considering the title i would say i don't like textbooks they are just dull and boring, with technology and gamified solutions learning language is more entertaining
