My guest post about Japanese Pitch Accent on Luca's website: www.lucalampariello.com/japanese-pitch-accent/
If you can, I'd like to see you interview Stuart Jay Raj and or Christophe Clugston. I know Mr. Clugston isn't the most pleasant individual, but you and him seem to stress being functionally fluent. Love your videos by the way.
That's actually the first time I've seen your last name.
Or even Vladimir Skultety, I believe he is still in China at the moment. I've spoken with him once, he's a really nice guy.
Thanks a bunch for having me on Matt! Talking to you was both fun and inspiring, and has rekindled my desire to learn Japanese again with a new mindset!
thanks for your time
I wish you the best with your Japanese studies.
Спасибо
Moment I saw your video of failure in Japanese, wanted you and Matt to collaborate! Glad it finally happened and good luck on Japanese :)
頑張って下さいねー
Matt doing epic collaborations recently 😂
Finally, an interviewer that lets his guest talk. I usually find interviewers jumping down their guests throats and never letting them get a word in lol
Well, he has had a lot of practice with listening ;p
He's mass immersing Luca's knowledge
Matt is a smart dude and the questions he asks makes it clear he ruminates over these ideas extensively
questions make
Luca's perspective on how language learning sparks a whole process that molds us as better citizens of the world was very inspiring. It made me think of the many ways language makes us grow. Like how he said when it's not so much about you learning the language, but experiencing it and learning in that language instead.
Deliverate practice at a high level and creating the environment for the language plant to grow. Not wanting to force things out. Very eye opening things.
Matt made excellent questions, overall this interview is gold.
I feel like a better human being. (on a meta level, なんて)
I like this comment
I really like the questions you are asking Matt. They spark really interesting conversations.
Theres a lot of information about "how to be a polyglot" but not as many people talking about "why become a polyglot." Im glad we're having these types of discussions more.
these interviews are ruining my immersion!
Binge watching Mia interviews xD
The struggle is real
I feel lucky that English is my target language
@@marcomassella2186 >:(
i usually watch the longer ones while doing reps or reading. could be doing passive immersion but i think the benefit of hearing other language learner's perspectives are helpful enough to switch out with passive immersion, as long as you are doing reps or reading at the same time and only once every few days
Excellent interview Matt. Clearly you were well prepared with your questions. You would ask him something and I would be like “Geeze that’s a good one” and be really interested in the answer. I’ve seen many Luca interviews and you actually took advantage of having such a fantastic language learner in front of you and didn’t just do the typical “So Luca, tell us how you start learning a language”. Nicely done man.
Collab of the year!
Damn, it's the collab of the century bro haha...now i'm waiting for Ikena or arguiles xD
@@keith6293 I'm waiting for this since I was born
I watched the whole interview, and I couldn't be happier to listen to a very competent person like Luca. I've been studying italian for 3 years and currently I have an almost native level. I've spent a lot of time just listening to the language and watched tons of series and movies before I spoke to other people. Now I'm focusing on English, and I'm using the same strategy and a slightly different method to learn it. I truly believe that the fact that I have learned another language before I decided to learn the "important" language was crucial. Now I finally could understand how people actually acquire a new language. But as my grandpa used to say: "there's always something you don't know about something you think you know perfectly".
Complimenti Josué
How was your study routine and immersion like before you started output?
I want to adopt a parent and start shadowing by next year April-May.
And maybe actual output 6 months later.
But I kinda already made friends online and started outputting before I found MIA so I'm trying to reduce it.
What is this sudden productivity Matt. Keep it coming.
You two have extremely similar mindsets and beliefs and it's awesome hearing you two chat. Also thank you Matt, I know he covers a lot of things you already know of and advocate yourself, but you didn't interrupt him at all and say oh yeah I know about this, etc.
Amazingly interesting conversation and a nice boost of motivation, really appreciate it guys!
Looks like Matt's really starting to get the momentum via more and more cool collabs!
Edit: Now that he's had interviews with Dogen, Steve and Luca another couple of big name language-related channels I can think of for potential future collabs are Langfocus and Nativlang, though these two lean more towards linguistics than language acquisition.
Edit 2: Thanks Matt for this wonderful interview. You are really good at asking right questions among other things. Luca recounting how his language acquisition journey shifting from disorganised and hectic in the past to putting more emphasis on meditative and holistic approach sorta reminds me of Netero's training in HxH where he wound up spending less and less time doing his physical routine.
Looking forward to listening to this, I admire you both, keep up the good work!
Luca, mądry człowiek z Ciebie. Słucham Cię od wielu lat i ciągle czegoś się uczę. Dzięki za pomoc i inspirację. :)
I think the interviews here are the best ones on the channel. Luca just has so much curiosity and humility and a willingness to learn from others. The Krashen/Kaufmann interviews were interesting, but it's clear that they're more interested in what they have to say than in letting someone else add to the language learning discussion.
Thanks for keeping updating the channel Matt!
This man is incredible. Thank you both for amazing motivation and the insight into not only languages, but also learning itself.
Two guys that inspire me to keep learning English. Thanks for that, Matt.
I love this, and I am so glad you guys made this video LONG! No rush. I'm glad to hear Luca spilling his guts without a time limit. Very informative.
*fangirling* Aaand I just finished listening to this interview. Very inspiring. Thank you Matt and Luca!
Making big moves man. Proud of you. Been a fan of Luca for a long time too and have been waiting for these vids to drop
Awesome. Really looking forward to this. I'm a big fan of you both.
I think this is the best interview of both Matt and Luca. Awesome interview man. 😊😊
Such great information in this video. Matt, I really liked the fact that you let Luca talk without interrupting (like a lot of interviewers do). Well done!
This is a great interview! I’ve listed to most of Luca’s interviews, because he has been one of my main inspirations/mentors for my language learning journey. This interview provided new insights due to your questions and background as well as his development in these years. I’m glad this interview happened! I’m a new subscriber to your channel. I’m not focused on Japanese at the moment but despite that I’ve found your channel to be very informative and inspirational. Keep up the good work 😁
Wow! One of the best interviews I've seen about language learning. Thx
Great source of value, not just about language learning acquisition, but about success in life in general. Luca is a wise person. Thank you a lot for that!
Luca is OG inspiration for me. Great collab!!
That was epic. Love listening to people that are passionate about what they do.
I am so HAPPY to see this :D been waiting forever
Epic interview!!! I benefited so much from this video, it has definitely changed my perspective on learning languages
Thank you very much for those valuable pieces of advice. I could listen to you 2 for hours.
Matt I'm really happy for this interview. You motivate me a lot. I really like your ideas and they are really helpful. I'm learning german and i try to apply your techniques.
Same! Im learning German too
@@glokta1 me too! also japanese hahah...
same :) Viel Glück
thank you for this amazing interview! despite having 10+ tabs open and my bro watching the Laker game in the room I stayed focused and paid attention lol. definitely cool to see two amazing language learners speak about the benefits of meditation + learning + living. felt like two Jedis just hanging out to fully express their lessons.
the tips were so valuable for learning anything. thank you for sharing
What a wonderful interview!
"On my new year's resolution l tell myself l'm going to learn to play the guitar and l just learn another language".
bruh
Ikr
Whoa
This is just awesome.
After watching most of these interviews, my ideas about what I means to learn another language has really changed. I feel like I have a much or realistic view of how far I want to take my languages and how much more work I need to put in.
I’ve been learning German for a few years now and I’ve started RTK recently. These interviews are eye opening in different ways
Two of my heroes in one video! すげえいなぁ🤩
Wow really good insight in this. Love it that you are in agreement about principles and methods, I have been wondering that myself recently.
That was a great interview :) Ty
Hearing you guys talk about this stuff is fascinating. You two would be great on a podcast or something like that.
As they recommend to writers/authors: If you want to write better, read more. They always advise musicians to listen to more music to help their writing etc etc. So it makes perfect sense that balancing listening, reading, writing and speaking should help with language development be it your first language or a second or on
The thing I love about language learning is that you can combine your language learning with other types of learning. You essentially unlock more content and move perspectives. Wnich you guys mentioned in the talk, which by the way was fantastic.
I'm noticing one thing in particular that ties serial language learners together, that being empathy.
Empathy facilitates noticing and imitation of the language in how we produce vowel and consonant qualities, stress patterns, phrases that are natural, our external communication in general, and how convincing we sound.
However, empathy also facilitates our own internal communication, like mortar to stone, by consolidating our bits of experience with a language and binding it inextricably to our deepest emotions and experiences to create an identity. Fear, joy, love, sorrow, melancholy, boredom, the feelings of awe in admiring a soaring mountain vista, curiosity in being sucked into the tale of dark folk lore, or tranquility in watching a pair of dragonflies dance around lily flowers in a calm pond with the sun reflecting high above and wind softly rustling the foliage around you; in connecting sound symbolism (language) to such ideas and emotions which existed before and independently of language itself, we internalize the language on a primal level and become one with it.
The reward in being a language learner is experiencing life as if it were brand new again.
I have seen Matt on so many channels, I even listen to him on a random language learning podcast I subscribe to. I look forward to seeing him on the Joe Rogan Experience soon.
that would be quite cool actually
Matt is too intelligent to lower himself for such an intellectually poor podcast.
Yet another epic crossover!
Awesome conversation!
You know, the two of you create some really interesting content.
Started out feeling like I should really immerse instead of watching this, but it turned out to be maybe your most interesting interview to date. Not just for language learning but skill acquisition in general. Echoed some of my own thoughts, developed some, and gave me some new things to think about. Nice!
I liked this one a lot Matt.
I had this thought about learning French with MIApproach (would be easy as it is a Romance language as my mother language), so I will probably apply what he says about outputting earlier than I will do with Japanese,
Start outputting when you start to understand the language at a high level.
Amazing interview 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
To Matt, about why learning another language is more than just repeating the same meta process: imagine only ever being exposed to one genre of music. Suddenly, you are exposed to a second genre. Your mind is blown, you learn everything about it, it's challenging, and whatever musical instrument you play you now try to play in that genre. It stretches your mind in ways you never imagined. Now, how has your imaginative capability increased? It has increased a lot, now you can imagine melodies and structures in ways in which you never knew there were variables there, you never knew these tweaks and tools were an option. Your imaginative power has broadened. But if you learn a few more genres, even thought you're repeating the same meta process, your imaginative power keeps increasing and keeps broadening. If you travel far away and listen to a street musician play a peculiar piece you are better equipped to guess their emotion and understand their intention. I think it's the same with languages and better understanding people's cultures. Someone who speaks 6 languages spoken in 4 countries in 2 different contintents would in my oppinion be better equipped to understand someone they've never met and whose language they do not speak than if that same person only ever learned one foreign language. The number of languages do add up in a different way, I believe that. Does this explanation make sense? I mean that speaking a few, more than two, a few significantly different languages helps one understand the human condition better and be more imaginative as a tool to unserstand people's cultures and backgrounds much better, and that is much more developed in someone who speaks several languages compared to someone who speaks two.
My man Matt doing some seriously awesome anime crossovers lately!
Bravissimo!
Checked out Luca's video where he speaks Russian, (from the perspective of a native) he is legit!
This is a great talk
Grait man this Luca
Can't wait for the next interviews.
We all grow from these interactions and I'm very proud to see that UA-cam still got a cooperating environment.
With the beer virus going around and all the international drama we can all see in the classic medias, it's wholesome to see UA-cam coops striving.
Omg 😮😮!!! LUCA LAMPARIELLO
"Everything is possible, It's a fulfilling profechy... We all have limited beliefs, that limits our lives -big time- without knowing that until someone tell us" 51:12 dudeeee that just dropped my heart
Never heard an italian speaking englisch that impressivley good. Great talk of you both.
“Il faut cultiver notre jardin” -Voltaire (It’s necessary to cultivate our own garden) Matt very wise I knew some meditation had to be in his routine. 😂
Never too late to pick up piano again. I began playing at 17 and 3 years later it's still one of my greatest passions , along with language learning :P
This might be the very best language-learning interview I’ve seen.
super cool discussion. any tips on where to start getting into meditation? thanks for the inspiring+motivational content as always
I have become rusty at my first language since I live abroad, learning Japanese has made me more aware of languages and what it encompasses, I'm much more focused at becoming better at Greenlandic now and I have a better understanding of the grammar than I ever have, but I'm not as good as formulating though as I've been since I don't get the opportunity to speak it very often, even though I speak native Greenlandic it has a lot of holes compared to my uncles which are extremely proficient. It's interesting that the Greenlandic people are becoming less proficient as a consequence of Greenland becoming more and more bilingual mixing danish with Greenlandic, especially in the capital which is where I'm from.
PS since Greenlandic is a agglutinative polysynthetic language I feel like it's easier for me to learn other synthetic languages and it also uses SOV grammar, I must say though that Japanese is still pretty different so it's still hard, but I imagine that it's a bit easier for me to learn than someone from a western language background, since I don't have to rewire too much of my grammatical word engine. Although I must say that it might have nothing to do with it, maybe it's because we learn both Greenlandic and Danish which are very different when we are young that makes it a little easier to learn new languages since I see a lot of Greenlandic people speak up to 4 to 7 different languages although four is not that impressive since first two are default by the bilingual nature of our nation and most speak English which is again pretty common so just learning another language you are already up to 4 languages
I like how as an engineer non-native English speaker, Luca thinks that Goldilocks is primarily having to do with planets, and the nursery tale is either secondary or non existent.
His English is absolutely incredible its crazy. He has an accent, but his pronunciation is very American as well as the rhythm in which he speaks.
Matt, Pleeease tell us a Khatzumoto interview is coming
After watching this video I have started to realize that Matt is most likely the overall best person in the world
Thanks for the interview! It is both inspiring and entertaining to watch. Want I want to point out is that you enjoy the process and use this information as a important approach. Thus you can you want is fun to you.
A question to you, Matt: Do you reorganize or overthink your apporach after that kind of interviews or do you think that MIA is optimized in most of the parts.
I think a lot of these perceptions and mindsets that Luca talks about is a result of meditation, not just language learning. I also meditate and people who meditate, and have meditated for years, generally have these types of global mindsets. And it is DIFFERENT to educated people who don't meditate - MUCH different. And it's not noticeable or understandable unless you are ALSO someone who has meditated for many years. I am also learning a new language, but I share that same mindset, not because I learn a second language, but because I meditate! It's a kind of meditative mindset.
Most ambitious crossover since Dogen....I'm dumbfounded ! Go MIA 2020 I guess
What a great video with so much interesting information about this process. My only critique is Luca’s responses for one question tended to build on multiple topics - and so the conversation would, in return, take multiple routes. I found myself spacing out at times because it would often take Luca 10+ minutes to answer one question. Matt would ask a great question and have the conversation flowing, and then it would come to a halt because Luca would begin rambling. Again, he would ramble about interesting ideas/strategies/thoughts; but overall it felt like a lot of fluff more than actual content. I’m glad Matt let him talk- but it would have been more productive to have a back-and-forth conversation that was more mutual. I get that Luca is the guest; but Matt isn’t some “novice interviewer” like Ellen DeGen. interviewing someone that he has no skill of. Matt is also passionate about languages; and therefore is a valuable member of this conversation. And thus should be able to mutually discuss these topics TOGETHER like a nice tennis match. Rather, I felt like Matt was unfortunately put on the sideline just to commentate the match. Is this just me? Thanks for the video, Matt!
When LUCA SPEAK A LENGUAJE HE DEFINITELY SPEAK THE LENGUAJE GOD BLESS YOU SON I HAVE SEEN OTHER VIDEOS LIKE WITH ITALIANO AUTOMATICO WITH ALBERTO AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO DETECT IF HE WAS FORM WHERE MY GRANT MOTHER WAS CALABRESA OR CHICAGO OR PHILLY LUCA THE SPANISH IS SUPER ERES UN BRAVO DIOS TE BENDIGA HIJO
what sir Luca is referring to when talking about progressing in other type of abilities is what happens when someone dedicates all their life to improve just one ability (AKA midlife crisis)
if you're still young, you should try to extrapolate everything and have a good amount of abilities (depending on you)
On your point about not being able to use guitar to learn programming (15:00):
Although it may not have AS many uses as a language, I do think learning an instrument can give you access to many things, such as insight into many different cultures based on the music they play, knowledge about the history of music (which can translate to knowledge about human evolution and psychology as you dive deeper), etc. Music is very similar to language in many ways!
About the instruments it was really true 👍🏼
Language acquisition happens when you feed the brain the right way.
boa lekão
@@user-if7fr6or6h :D
Nice pun
I agree
Feed the brain to whom?
I started playing guitar and banjo, mandolin too, well over forty years ago. I play almost daily. It’s part of my lifestyle. Languages are exactly the same. Music is a language, no doubt about it.
Thanks, through these interviews I got to know so many interesting people. But damn 14 languages must take a shit ton of time each day to keep it there.
My favorite anime crossover
Matt, it would be awesome if you did a series on meditation!
I like the analogy he made a 107:20. This is very good information. 80/20
Luca: "I am Italian and live in Rome but it is funny because I just use Italian 10 % per day" hahahaha.
Yes, labels are misleading. Even saying B1, B2, while it does give some general idea, it depends on the test, and how well people test, etc. etc. The more specific one can be the better in terms of what elements of the language one is comfortable with.
Hi Matt, recently I've been thinking about a "mia japanese add-on update" that actually doesn't respect the "japanese" part tho. In the add-on you can press one button to add furigana and pitch accent, but if we're learning another language and we'd like to use the add-on for its design, we can't add "furigana" in the target language. Many languages (like English, the language that I'm learning btw) can be studied by IPA symbols, so maybe could be an update that allows you to put the IPA pronunciation instead of the furigana. It'd be like "cat", and above it "/kæt/". Maybe it's a ridiculous idea but I think it could work for many people. PD: Thanks for keeping updating the channel :')
Hey Matt, I've just found out about AJATT and MIA and am looking to start. My problem is that I'm having a hard time trying to create a good study schedule that follows the principles of MIA. My main issue is that I don't quite understand the differences between active immersion and passive immersion. You talked briefly on the MIA website about how doing 5 hours of active immersion and 5 hours of passive immersion a day will bring you to fluency in roughly 2 years depending on the person, but what exactly is the difference between the two. As of right now the only passive Japanese immersion that I know about is just the passive listening that you talked about. Is there more to it than that? Should sentence mining be a separate activity from active listening and reading? For example, if I had a piece of text or audio for sentence mining and then did active listening and reading on different things, would that be better than doing them at the same time? Should I be making any other kinds of flashcards besides 10-20 sentence cards per day if I'm already pretty comfortable with kanji? I'd really appreciate it if you told me the study schedule that worked best for you so I can get some ideas and make one of my own. My current Japanese level is a little below N2, so I'm not a complete beginner but I'm still nowhere near fluency. Thanks for your help
1:27:45 Guilty as charged. Great interview.
With the reading/ speaking gap in Mandarin... that's what's so hard about Mandarin for me. When I started playing WoW in Chinese I already knew what people were typing out and what a lot of the quest text said... But I have little to no speaking ability because my brain just always goes for the path of least resistance, which is reading the hanzi as kanji. I've noticed my friend from Taiwan has the same problem in Japanese.
Reg children vs adults and language learning differences and abstracting overarching concepts in language. Matthew Walker writes some interesting things. His discussion on REM sleep is pretty interesting. Then there's the fact that children get an abundance of this learning
Have you seen videos of Nick on Atsueigo's channel? He is an American who's really good at speaking Japanese and has an interesting story how he learned it
9:10 that moment when you want to learn how to play guitar but end up learning a second language
1:27:47 Look bruv dont come at me like that aight?
What do you think about learning multiple languages simultaneously? If you're already competent in one language, does the time investment for subsequent languages decrease? What's your experience with Mandarin, Matt?
I speak Japanese to an intermediate level and have kinda hit a plateau. I live in a area where I don't speak very often and never need to say more than self-introduction and basic conversation. So when I watch TV or anime I am completely lost; I will understand 40% at most. I tried to change my phone to Japanese and use a monolingual dictionary but I still don't feel like I'm at the level to make the change. Please can you give me some tips.
Akin well he has a video detailing how to make the monolingual transition easier. I recommend looking on his mass immersion approach website and maybe checking out that video first if you haven’t.
@@nikhilhematillake1079 Thanks. I'll try that.
read plaintext books with dictionary extension, great way to build up vocabulary.
