Every day, I listen podcast or watch videos on UA-cam for almost one hour and I read for almost other hour, also I read and listen at the same time and that's help me to improve my vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. This is a great video, thank you
Listening and reading at the same time is an absolute game changer! At first, I weirdly felt like I was cheating (may it be your fault, school system?), but then I realised just how many new words were sticking with me. It's mind-blowing! As always, great video Luca😎
Yes! And now you speak Polish fluently. I know that for a fact because I saw you interact with Aga and Justyna from Easy Polish in Krakow..in front of me! 😄
I love doing both reading and listening at the same time, for me it’s the perfect combination to acquire more words and more language skills. Thanks as always for your work! ☺️
I think it's not too good to sharpen your listening skills if you're reading the transcription of whatever content you're whatching to. (I mean, at least for me, it works this way. I just started to see progress once I started only listening without any extra aid to rely on.)
@@Crispoeng sorry to hear that it didn’t work out for you. As for me, it helped me so much when I started learning Mandarin and I still love reading and listening at the same time whenever possible in any language, for example church music in Arabic.
Luca, I've been following you for years and the lessons you taught me helped me learn 5 languages Your videos never disappoint, thank you for your work
Querido Luca. Ayer llegó a casa tu "10 Regole essenziali..." Me lo he devorado esa misma tarde, cuando volví de trabajar. Es impresionante lo interesante y útil que es este libro. Llevo 3 meses aprendiendo alemán solo y esto llegó como el salvavidas perfecto en el momento justo. He seleccionado mis mejores recursos para mi nivel (A2) actual y para mejorar y progresar al máximo en los próximos 3 meses, hasta el 25 de diciembre 2024. Esta mañana a las 5 hs hice mi primer día. Hago 45 min de input (escucho el podcast que programo para cada día, leo y analizo el texto) y 15 minutos de expresión oral (repito frases del podcast y hablo solo). Hermosa sensación la de saber que la tarea está cumplida, hecha a conciencia y que funciona! Mi objetivo es ese: hacer eso cada día durante 3 meses. Mis podcasts tienen un 60-80% de material que comprendo. El resto es lo nuevo que aprendo cada día y lo que reapaso el finde. Luca, tengo 57 años y el alemán será mi cuarta lengua extranjera. Gracias de corazón por tu trabajo y tu capacidad de explicar y dar ejemplo. ❤❤
As an American it's amazing to me that you've attained such a high level of English. I only even hear your accent occasionally. As a language learner, that's inspiring
It’s helpful to hear proficient language learners and teachers say, “Of course you have to read/listen to a text numerous times. Not just once.” Interesting analysis of reading. Thanks!
Grande Luca! Reading and listening are the only things I do for quite some time when I learn a new language, but I don't like doing both at the same time... What I like to do Instead is: reading aloud! 😉
@@LucaLampariello At the early beginner stage, when I read, I do so intensively, deconstructing the language. Listening does not help me with that. Second reading is indeed while listening, to finally match sound and words. At more advanced stages, I either read or listen: I read when I have the time to sit down and go through content, and I listen when I'm walking, driving or doing the chores.
Grazie, Luca. Nella mia esperienza, per come funziono io, l'ascolto a vuoto da zero non mi aiuta, anzi mi demoralizza, quindi preferisco ascoltare con trascrizioni o con testo. Per me ascoltare prima e leggere dopo è, come accenni tu, un'abitudine scolastica, che mantiene pigri. Se ascolto qualcosa da zero è come brancolare nel buio, e un approccio come proponi tu è sicuramente più faticoso, ma piu efficace. Vuoi mettere imparare nuove parole leggendo un testo mentre ascolti il "genitore di lingua" che te lo legge? Il mio approccio è ancora molto confusionario, decisamente dovrei reimpostare in maniera piu strutturata il mio studio del cinese, quindi approfitto del tuo video per mettere in pratica i tuoi suggerimenti. Buon lavoro! 😊
Super cool!!! but the only way I am getting better is studying it with my love in the USA(AMERICAN GUY) 🥰😍we are working on: PRONUNCIATION - SPELLING - PHONETICS- READING - Intonation - stress words - AND REPETITION (OVER AND OVER AGAIN). I speak 4 languages and I am study it at the same time with different teachers (Chinanteco my mother tongue language, Spanish, English et Français). THX MATE

Hi dear Luca, your knowledge is very impressive.💥 You should be on TED Talk; you're the best in this field! Anyway, I would kindly like to ask for your opinion about the "necessary amount of hours" to master a language. Many people on the internet say that the famous 10,000 hours are just not enough to become truly skilled. Others claim that more than 3,500 hours are sufficient. And there are also those who argue that it’s impossible to achieve mastery without putting in around 20,000 hours or more. What do you think? A warm greeting, Luca! Thank you so much.😊
Buongiorno Giuseppe! There is no fixed amount of hours when it comes to speaking a foreign language, because "speaking a foreign language", "speaking fluently", "mastering a language" etc are all vague terms. Don't count the hours, make the hours count. As long as you consume a great quantity of language resources you like (podcasts, movies, TV-series, books magazines etc) and you do it in a purposeful and smart way, you are going to develop great language skills. Focus on the PROCESS and never on the results, as we are taught in school.
@@LucaLampariello Yes, Luca, you're absolutely right! I believe it's less productive to focus solely on the number of hours spent. Listening to 10,000 hours of content in the target language without intentionality can be unproductive. If I remember correctly, you also mentioned this in one of your courses. However, there are many discussions online about the famous "10,000 hours" concept popularized by Malcolm Gladwell in his book, that you know so well. Grazie mille !😊
a few factors end up being important for this to work well: audio should be clean and easy to hear without sound effects or unusual voice acting. phrases should be cleanly deliniated. content should be interesting. vocabulary should not be too advanced unless you are willing to return to the same next many days. in other words it's a bit too much to learn vocabularly and struggle to parse the audio, and can be very fatiguing if the pronunciation is at the outer edges of what is acceptable to native speakers. the other factor is patience, if the language is distant it takes a very long time to build up intuition for what words could mean, on the order of years. it can be enjoyable to go through that process and there are many breakthroughs along the way, but it's not something to suffer through if you think competence is just around the corner. I find that if I am tired I can't enjoy or understand my second language, but besides that it has been rewarding to watch a show or read a story and understand it well.
It is a psychological thing. When you speak with native speakers you are more self-conscious of your languages skills. And that's an interesting idea for a new video so thanks for that!
First listen or read in your mother language. Secondly listen and then read and listen at the same time. You can’t learn a language you’ve never heard before. Kids do the same.
That’s a good point. The utility of doing them at the same time may vary based on what level you are at. At the beginner and intermediate level I tend to try solo listening a few times first and then doing it at the same times.
Depending on your level, and I´m beginning to HATE UA-cam. It´s nearly over for me. But, Spotify is now the go-to or more correctly said, "becoming new" video place. UA-cam with it´s interruptions ever 2 minutes is unwatchable now. Boring, trite, unfiltered dumbassery. I´ll see Luca with his super intelligent advice, followed by a lying fraud talking about becoming fluent in 6 months. It´s like being in a Mexican Airport. You don´t get too close to the bathroom door in fear that some group of vendors is going to try and rape you and steal your money! There are so many great, clear voiced Spanish pódcasts: Black Mango (B2), Wild Project (C2), I´ve still not sorted through them all! Spotify is the coming king of AV media.
Get UA-cam PREMIUM if you can afford it. Since I got it, a lot of things have changed! And as far as the rest of the comment is concerned..you are right that there is a lot of bad advice out there, but I think it is up to you (me, us) to figure out what is valuable for you and what is not. And yes, Spotify is great! ;-) PS: love the style of your comments! :-D
It was relatively straightforward. AS for the amount of time, it took me 3 months to write my first love letter to this Dutch lady I met back in the day and a few more to become conversational
Hey there! Thanks for the question. I tried it a bit but only-audio methods are not for me. I prefer using one paperback + audio as my main resource to get started with a language, and then I quickly move on to podcasts and videos.
@@LucaLampariello Nice, Lucas. Thanks for the response. I speak English and Spanish and am studying Russian independently in my spare time. I saw the video of you in Russia, quite impressive. If you have any recommendations (whether it be books, movies, channels, etc.) particularly for studying Russian I would very much appreciate it. Pimsleur helped bring up my Russian comprehension and speaking but I also pair it with textbook work and lotssss of listening on audiobooks.

I can hear his accent.
He sounds like an American.
Thanks for the kind words!
His level of English is much higher than any American has achieved 😂

Thanks luca for your help. I learned more sentences😊
You are welcome Maryam!
Y'a plus qu'à ! as we say in French ! Grazie di cuore Luca !
i think the movies sounds are quite convenient to aquire speak skills as well
It's great how you so efficiently separate the wheat from the chaff and spin it into simple pure gold. 🏆
Hola Luca, es un placer escucharte cada día con el curso de traducción bidireccional entiendo mejor el idioma ya voy por la lección 29.
Me alegro de que te guste el curso Darwin 😃
Ottimo video Luca!
Grazie mille!

At what level of english language we can speak fluently with others ?, thanks .
I’d say B2 (according to the CEFR - Common European Framework for Languages)
Do you have courses or training in spanish? Possibly mexican spanish? Thanks Luca
I have courses to train any language, but only one language-specific course (for Italian)
Why does my English get worse when speaking to non-fluent people and better with natvie speakers? Do you have a video about or could you make one?
It is a psychological thing. When you speak with native speakers you are more self-conscious of your languages skills. And that's an interesting idea for a new video so thanks for that!

Neither... Speak!
Listen, read and then speak 😉
