Sorry for my nasality :D. Currently fighting with allergies. Have you also already tried Speakly? How do you prepare yourself to speak for the first time in a foreign language?

The absolute best thing you can do to clear your nasal sinuses out is to dive deep at a local spring swim down about eight feet or as deep as you can get to the bottom of the spring and hold your breath for ten to thirty seconds. Repeat several times. Within an hour of leaving the waterhole your sinuses will clear out be prepared to spit. In between the cold and the pressure it causes the congestion to release.
Thanks for the suggestion :)! Yes I can imagine that helping a lot to be honest. But there is also a different approach using a shower for the nose that's also removing all the bad stuff. Will definitely do that more. I unfortunately don't have a local spring that's close :(.@@OzkAltBldgCo-bv8tt
I actually think if you are NOT speaking out loud for at least 80-90% of your learning that itll take you 10 times longer to generate sentences. You MUST SPEAK TO LEARN TO SPEAK
I fully agree that if you really want to learn to speak you need to speak. It's useful to get immediate feedback, when you're doing it. Nevertheless, to get started I think also writing exercises and other stuff can help tremendously. There are also a bunch of other techniques to prepare you for speaking, like writing a script etc. But we shouldn't procrastinate too long on speaking :).
YOU MUST LISTEN TO SPEAK! I know this damn well, because for the first three years of my English journey I literally never spoke, only listened a whole lot (I wasn't even trying to learn, I was just consuming content), but when I started I could immediately speak perfectly fluently, besides the occasional tongue twist-up when speaking too quickly in the beginning. *LISTEN*
You need to understand to speak, to have a solid foundation built by many hundreds of hours of comprehensible input. You can learn more about this in the recent videos made by Lamont from "Days and Words"
Cheers for this, I had never heard of speakly. I currently have a ~100+ day streak in Italian on duolingo and... well I'm almost 3/4 of the way through the Italian tree and it's just not doing it for me anymore. More frustration than learning, even with plus. Who'd have guessed learning "una balena" or "l'ape operaia" every day isn't too useful?! Gonna check my neighbouring eesti bois' service out for sure, it's even in Finnish apparently, after my duolingo plus ends in a couple of days. (I can always complete the tree on the free version if I bother) Danke schön.
You're welcome! Yes, I can understand your frustration… Sometimes it's time to mix things up. On the other hand, what Duolingo is doing great is to gamify the learning and to keep it motivating and fun. And you learn how to build sentences etc. which can also be useful. Speakly is great to learn useful phrases and words, but after a while it can also become a bit boring. Nevertheless, I still think it's a great app and a good companion on our way to fluency.
@@DustinSchermaul Yes, I get sad when I see someone: I used duolingo for 5 years and learned nothing. Well of course, you used 1 tool for something that takes way more time and dedication than 30 minutes a day on a green owl, I love duolingo, it keeps me on the languange, but it is not my only resource
I have tried speakly for German and French. For my French it has been great, since I was missing some words to be a good intermediate speaker, but for German it was not very useful, since I already know pretty much everything the app was trying to teach me. Speakly and LingQ are the best apps in my opinion!
You are welcome! The rule should be: with vowels (aeiou) the articles 'il', 'lo', 'la' become l'.. So you ll have for example l'eroe (the hero), l'amica (the female friend), l'amore (the love), l'uccello (the bird). Otherwise it remains the same e.g. il tempo (the time), lo scoiattolo (the squirrel), la stella (the star)
Hallo Dustin, grüße aus der Slow Groth Community. Sehr interessant Video, werde die App auf jeden Fall ausprobieren. Bin gespannt auf deine nächsten Videos. Viele Grüße Michael
Unfortunately, doesn't work for Italian speakers. Have you any other good advice about an app like that? I'm learning English, and I need to improve my speaking fluency. You have good pronunciation in both Italian and English. The channel is very helpful.
Hey Massimo :), if your comprehension is already at a good level, I would try to get into speaking by using italki for example. There are plenty of teachers and also at reasonable prices already. I have made a video about that here: ua-cam.com/video/hUCluPa0WAo/v-deo.html Other than that, for your comprehension I can recommend using Lingq: ua-cam.com/video/7sL1qUckeb0/v-deo.html Thank you very much for your positive feedback! I try my best :).
Thank you very much for your positive feedback Marina! I think both are great resources :). Speakly is a bit cheaper and if you really want to focus on speaking it can be really useful. If you want to work more on your comprehension then I would recommend Lingq.

Just lean to speak with an Australian accent and nobody will notice.

You must also LISTEN. A LOT

Thank you for this in-depth review Dustin it was very clear and interesting. You have encouraged to me to try to improve my German!
You're welcome! I'm happy if I could help you :). It's a nice journey, enjoy it!

Duolingo's ins't meant to be your only study tool
@@kendarr Yes that's definitely true, but it can be a valuable addition to our learning. The majorpart should be comprehensible and compelling input.
@@DustinSchermaul Yes, I get sad when I see someone: I used duolingo for 5 years and learned nothing.

Thanks for the comment Max! 🤗 Yes I fully agree! Lingq and Speakly together are a real powerhouse! Can’t wait for whats to come in the future.
Nice review thanks! By the way there is an error in the app. 'magari il otto' is wrong, the correct translation should be 'magari l'otto' :)
Thanks for the feedback, Matteo :). That I didn't know, will keep that in mind.

I actually might try this for 3 months
Very cool! Let me know how it went afterwards! :)
Thanka
You're welcome!
Thank you for this
You're welcome! : )
This video is on point. It is what I needed. Thank you!!
You're welcome! Glad that I could help you out :).
Lo so che il video è un po' vecchiotto ma quell'errore sull'app il otto mi da fastidio 😂
Thanks for your feedback :D. Haha, yes I know that feeling.

Hey Michael :), gern geschehen! Freut mich, dass ich dir helfen konnte. Werde mir deinen Kanal bei Gelegenheit auch noch anschauen :).
Ma se volete l’italiano ve lo insegno io. In cambio dell’inglese 😂
Grazie mille! Si possiamo parlare inglese, ma non sono un madre lingua :D.
Looks interesting, quite different from most other apps, thx for the review!
You're welcome Robert! :)
i haven't used it, but it looks promising.
Thanks mate! Let me know how you liked it, if you'll try it :).

Great video! 🎉 So in-depth. For a person who is intermediate in language learning, works you recommended Speakly or Lingq?
Thank you very much for your positive feedback Marina! I think both are great resources :). Speakly is a bit cheaper and if you really want to focus on speaking it can be really useful. If you want to work more on your comprehension then I would recommend Lingq.
Interesting Review
Thank you very much! :-)
So you can only learn 4000 words with speakly?
You learn the words in the context of phrases, so in reality it's way more than that. :)
Did you learn all of that just from the app or did you have prior knowledge
Hey Austen :),
this is just one part of my language learning. In this video, I show my strategy for learning Italian:
ua-cam.com/video/16PmAkentk4/v-deo.html
But going forward, I could imagine doing a challenge, by trying to learn to speak a language just by using Speakly.
