14:55 bro this is life coach material. You can teach people how to learn anything 🙏 super solid information. 20:53 getting emotionally invested in learning 👌
Thank you for posting this. I am an online German tutor for two years now with diverse students, while doing my undergraduate in French language as second language. I was confident to choose this major because i thought I had some kind of superpowers when I learned German for the first time- I mainly just listen to German podcasts and songs anytime anywhere-and it worked! I got my B2 certificate learning by myself a few months after ending my B1 course. That's not, however, the case with French. I struggled a lot doing the same learning method with French and I don't know why, maybe because this language is spoken a tad bit faster than German and have a different phonetics than German, English, or my native Indonesian, but it just seem to not work. Maybe it was a rare case which also supported by the fact that German is a much logical and structured language that it could just be magically installed in my brain after intense auditory exposures through podcasts and music.
I love 22:17: I remember in my journey of speaking spanish I would watch UA-camrs that spoke how I wanted to speak & I would essentially mimic their accent & tone. It helped me a ton & now many people comment on how good my accent is. It may have been from the mimic technique
Thank you for taking the time to do the video. I have done these things during my Spanish acquisition. It works. I hope it will be the same with Chinese, Im so excited. I wish you the best!
Hi Dan, as usual an other great video full of real recommendations, tips...Really you make a difference in my learning journey. I want to discover the country, my goal is to be able to communicate with chinese people, read books, watch movies without subtitles... People around me doesn't trust me when i told them that i am learning chinese on my own, i am a mom for two young kids and i have a job, for me listening is a game changer, i use my died time to listen, and if i can i mimic also. Again, thank you do much, wish you the best. I wish i could say all these things in chinese😅
I'm Arab and I speak English fluently I learnt it through listening and shadowing , my current target language is Chinese 🎯 I wish I could listen to music and watch movies in Chinese without reading subtitles 😢
@@asgharkamankesh3483 actually I started when I was 13 years old , but I started speaking it fluently at the age of 16 , it will always be the best decision I've ever taken , I work as an English teacher today El hamdoulilah 🤲🏻
Thank you for your great tips and the Spotify tip with subtitle! Now I have find a nice podcast interview with the foundation of Facebook thanks to you! :)
Thank you for your time, sir! I really appreciate your work on this video. I'm at an intermediate English speaking level and would like any recommendations to improve.
@ I think you're right, it would be harder to learn tonal languages from music compared to podcasts, music is usually not colloquial speech but if you don't mind that music could be a good alternative if you really enjoy listening to certain music and it boosts your motivation
There were some studies last year showing that adults are better than children at learning almost anything, including languages, because they can make use of explicit learning methods. That's why I think we should be very careful promoting incomprehensible input but rather teach people how to make it comprehensible. I went from being lower intermediate to understanding Chinese podcasts in about 500 hours by using sentence audio cards and taking podcasts apart. Looking back, most of the time I spent with incomprehensible input was wasted. But I'm not an influencer so people can do whatever they want. There was also some solid advice in the video, but I wish you had put it upfront.
Thanks for sharing your experiences, I'm only sharing what worked for me, i started listening to comprehensible input as a beginner but quickly found them too slow and boring so i switched to native podcasts or relatively incomprehensible input and noticed a rapid improvement in my listening for the reasons mentioned in the video.
@thedanyopang That means you were already at a stage where you could slowly switch to native level content. But it's just not good advice to invest many hours a day in incomprehensible input when you are at a beginner stage. Especially if it's an unrelated language. I'd rather suggest to very slowly increase incomprehensible input from 5 minutes when you start out to 15 minutes when you are low intermediate and up to six hours when you are upper intermediate. That's would be my advice to myself if I could start over.
I don’t understand how a beginner, someone who has just started learning can use comprehensible input, only after you have learnt some vocabulary can you use it?
Ok I get it... You want to do stuff that will make you adhere to the language, while intentional studying is harder to stay committed to. But what if you are really motivated to study? Why not study intentionally as part of a routine which also includes consuming a massive amount of input? Especially for reaching CEFR a2 level fluency, 'intentional study+ massive input' is faster than simply 'massive input '.
If you are really motivated to study then that's great! It's just many learners find that boring and get burned out so it's better to have other options.
I tried those challenging materials but found that was too hard to understand. In turns out it makes me feel frustrated. I have to listen to them dozens times. So painful 😢
I tried to learn through memorizing and it was so uncomfortable and hard to understand people it was hard to admit that it might be immersion meanly because the baby thing didn’t seem legitimate because I’m not a baby with a sponge brain but I realized I remember Internet, slang and other words in English with no memorizing plus history shows that we used to teach to just use the language
Just listening does not help. I tried it for years and it didn't help at all. You need to get feedback on the meaning for it to help at all. If you don't understand what you are listening to you don't learn.
@ yea comprehensible input is important for sure, but I improved a lot faster when I jumped into native podcasts that were mostly incomprehensible at first but slowly i built up comprehension
I have watched at least thousand of English movies and thousand of anime English so many English series and countless UA-cam videos in English daily basis pass 15 years, but I can't speak English and my writing is very bad I can't form a sentence properly, when i speak and write I don't know how to do it properly. You can guess from my this comment how bad I'm in English. But I can understand English almost like native. Conclusion from my experience you can't learn English properly just listening only. Although you can understand it but using it properly not possible.
(I'm learning Japanese as well and I'm speaking from experience) when learning a language as a *beginner* , you should study the basics of the language first and get a basic understanding of it before you start listening. I hope this helps! Good luck!
Your audio would be a,azing if you could take out some of that boom, low resonant frequency. It's taking away from a voice that would be pleasing to hear

It's really fascinating how language learning can work differently for different languages

Thanks for the tip. As Mutch as I enjoy studying German, I also enjoy immersing myself in German content. I plan to do more of that this year.
Great idea, good luck with German 😁
Amazing video and advice. Excited to listen more!

I notice your recommend podcasts but never music? Is this because it can be harder to learn the tones of a language?
@ I think you're right, it would be harder to learn tonal languages from music compared to podcasts, music is usually not colloquial speech but if you don't mind that music could be a good alternative if you really enjoy listening to certain music and it boosts your motivation
Terima kasih banyak
Very interesting about passive listening in relation to active listening
Passive listening was key for me learning Chinese!
Thanks 😊
No problem, enjoy! 😊
Hi
How about watching things with subtitles?
Is it good to watch things with subs in target language or without?
I recommend to watch them in subtitles in your target language
You’re amazing
thanks 😁
Thank u new subscriber here🎉🎉
Glad you're here! ☺️
Beautiful tips. I'll put them to test. Finnish language is proving too stubborn for me to learn.
thanks glad it helped you ☺️
I owe you one my best teacher.
no problem 😁
How by comprehensible input if you don't know english at all 😢
there's comprehensible input for all stages
Bro,, i am listen passively 13 months complete. I love listening. I just focus only one method listening.can i get fluent in English,,,,?
It got me very far with Chinese! But you should listen effectively like i describe in the video
@@thedanyopangThanks ❤️❤️
Hello, can you to speack so slowly? Love your context but I can not to understand some things, Thanks a lot, from Venezuela
I thought I already speak slow 😅
I want to learn Spanish, i will the listing. Let me know,, if it can work me. Cos I find it hard to learn on my own.

Awesome video! What is your first language??
My parents spoke a bit of Cantonese to us but Im not very good at it, English is my primary language.
for the listening which source do you use?
for chinese I listened to 达人的small talk
I don’t understand how a beginner, someone who has just started learning can use comprehensible input, only after you have learnt some vocabulary can you use it?
I think you can still benefit from listening as a beginner, I started listening before I could understand
It's important what he said, that is know the context of the video that you're listening

Trying to combine the combo russian+ chinese is actually wild

It's part of the process, I didn't understand much at first too!

immersion is really powerful
Türkçe biliyor musunuz acaba?

Youre right, just listening won't get you there all the way but it's one of the most important things and can get you very far.
You’re supposed to listen to stuff that you can 80-90% understand though
@ yea comprehensible input is important for sure, but I improved a lot faster when I jumped into native podcasts that were mostly incomprehensible at first but slowly i built up comprehension
There is a noise on your mic. Maybe you put a lot of gain.
what type of noise?
Are you American-native?? or a Chinese who grew up in America??
Very good video but too much analogy
The analogies are not good?
I have watched at least thousand of English movies and thousand of anime English so many English series and countless UA-cam videos in English daily basis pass 15 years, but I can't speak English and my writing is very bad I can't form a sentence properly, when i speak and write I don't know how to do it properly.
