    I LOVED THIS VIDEO SO MUCH I FEEL SO HONOREDDDD i’m sorry my way ruined your mojo but i’m glad it gave you perspective!! I learned a little something too… i fall into those exact same patterns and i need more discipline too. maybe i’ll do a mirror of this on my channel, i hadn’t thought about it before 🤔

      And I would love to see that 👀👀

    I’m learning Arabic rn, and a listening activity I do is playing vocab videos on youtube (e.g. 100 words for everyday life) and writing down how I think the word is spelled. That way, I can work on distinguishing similar sounds and can also connect words I might have heard but haven’t fully committed to memory.

    tbh I don’t know where I’d be rn without the language learning community on UA-cam 👀💦 I loved this video a lot!

    It's always fun to switch up learning methods for a little while. I used to study with songs more often... this makes me want to reintroduce that activity into my study regimen!

    This video was so interesting. I’m a HUGE fan of Elysse and have often wondered how she’s acquired such high levels with her languages with a routine so chill. Witchcraft is the answer I suppose because I’m very much like you. If I don’t check off the boxes (flash cards, mandatory listening, italki etc) early in the day, it prob won’t get done. I think what didn’t help you was being so new in Bulgarian. Had it not been for that you could’ve thrown a movie or playlist on in the language and called it studying like I do 😂

      Loll that’s me with French. I’m like - Yh it’s fine I’ve watched a 10-15 min UA-cam video today 🫠🫠 (tbf tho French isn’t my priority hahahah but I’d still love to have a bit more discipline so I could improve instead of just maintain ish)

    I personally don't enjoy translating songs at a beginner level. It makes it feel like I'm studying every time I listen to those songs. Even after ten years. I've found that listening to A LOT of music in a specific language helps me remember vocabulary and improve my listening comprehension without even having to try. With my latest target language I just listened to whatever music I like. As my general level got higher I naturally got better at understanding songs without it feeling like studying. Now that I'm at an intermediate level I like looking at the lyrics on spotify if I do have trouble understanding some things. It feels a lot better at an intermediate level.

    • @marcocisneros4176

      Is because you make emotional associations with the songs, That's very effective
      Keep up the good work

    My language learning methods couldn’t be farther away from Elysse’s. Still, I love watching her videos (especially because I know she speaks my native language beautifully- the language being Portuguese) and your channel is also one of my favorites when it comes to language learning. This was a really fun idea that I think I should try some time. After all, it’s still learning and improving in the target language. Great video 👏👏
    Suggestion: t Matt vs Japan (Refold method). Would be interested to see you take the challenge.

    This was so fun to watch!!! Have you ever tried transcribing audio as a listening exercise? I find it really helpful personally, and also super engrossing/more structured.

    • @PolyglotProgress
      @PolyglotProgress  2 роки тому +2

      I've been meaning to try it!! I've had to transcribe a lot in my native language and haaate doing it so I've put it off lol but I feel like I'll enjoy it as a language exercise!

    Please do Iclal next, she's a Turkish polyglot. I feel like she learns languages to a relatively good level in a shorter span of time than one would imagine so it'd be good to analyse and apply some of her methods i think. She also usually speaks at a faster pace which I find fascinating and has often been told by natives that her pronunciation is really good.

    Nice concept and a great way to really test what does or doesn't work in your own learning. I think it's really easy to get stale and stuck with our ways of learning, ignoring when we need to shake things up a bit. Will definitely give the song translation a go!

    I learn whole sentences saying them aloud. 5 days - 300 repetitions per day at least. Later I don't need to translate. I know the meaning of words straight away like in my native language. And also I remember the meaning longer than by learning separate words. This method is called: chunking. It was a real game changer in my learning process and communication skills in English and other languages.😊

    And for the next videos I'd like to suggest Lindie Botes and Annabeth Chase 😊

    • @PolyglotProgress

    I have been listening to a song I really like in French. I'm beginning to be able to understand some of it but I like the idea of translating it into English (a little at a time) French has been my focus language this year but next year I also would like to start learning Polish and Hebrew. Thanks for a great video!
