Also, leave a comment! Sometimes I get lonely.
What are you going to create or do with your language today?
keep a diary ✏️
@@etanol. I love that idea! :)
teaching a course
@@elmadas That's amazing! Hope it goes well! What are you learning and what are you teaching?
@@thelangconprojectpodcast thanks! I am learning French and teaching Permaculture, a method of design based on ecology. My first language is Italian.
I absolutely agree with you. I noticed it myself when ever I consume content no matter how much it affects me, if I do not discuss it with anyone or put it to something, the knowledge I gained through it eventually goes lost on me.
But the truck is that this passive content consumption requires little effort and at the same time mostly keeps your brain relaxed, whilst reviewing it or pondering over it is much more complex. It takes more effort and more self-discipline to pursue the reflection. But it’s totally necessary and needs being put to life.
100%! It does feel harder to actively create something with the language, it *is* harder, and there's more creative resistance, but it's essential! :) Thank you so much for stopping by! What language(s) are you working on? :)
Best video about language learning that I've listened to in a long time
Thank you so much! What language are you working on at the moment, and how's it going? :)
@@thelangconprojectpodcast I'm learning Brazilian portuguese and yesterday I had my first conversation of one hour with a Brazilian girl yesterday! Granted, I was listening most of the time, but it was a great experience.
I like your idea about having a project in the target language, but i was wondering what project would you suggest for someone who is very beginner in the target language. Im learning korean I am at a point that i can read the alphabet but i cannot write yet or produce sth at this stage what project would you suggest?
Hi! Welcome to the channel and thank you so much for your question! Here are THREE ideas for things you can do with your language as a complete beginner! 1) When you see any Korean content on Tiktok/UA-cam/wherever else, leave a comment to say 감사합니다 (thank you) in Korean. Make sure you type it yourself each time rather than copying and pasting :) Slowly build up that message over time to add more details to your appreciation :) 2) Find a picture that you like (could be anything: townscape, nice house, zoo, kitchen, restaurant, whatever) and look up the words for ten important things you can see in the picture 3) Learn how to introduce yourself, and find as many opportunities as you can to introduce yourself and ask people what their names are :) Hope this helps!
@@thelangconprojectpodcast Thank you these are great ideas!
Background music is very distracting.
Thanks for your feedback. If you want daily language courage with no background music at all, check out The Language Confidence Project podcast! There are almost 300 episodes already, and it's available on all the podcast players or on my website! What language(s) are you working on?
I need to learn to type in Korean or at least get a Korean keyboard :(. I liked this video probably because it resonates with my own thoughts on what's wrong with my Korean right now. I studied a lot of German in college and my 20's and gave all of the credit to my fluency to all the input I did. I didn't have any speaking partners and although I love writing in English I despise writing in a foreign language (add spelling and typos and it's way easier to criticize someone's writing than their speaking because it's memorialized forever for them to look at and pick apart.. yeah.. don't like it.) But I legit talked to myself in German. A lot. I imagined myself as a German speaker and acted it out in my imagination quite often. I liked the language that much. I think that counts as output too. I'm not doing that in Korean or I wasn't until recently I just started. Korean is a bit farther from English both linguistically and culturally which doesn't help either but I chose this so I can do it.
When I studied Korean some time ago I purchased some stickers to put on my keyboard. Then you also can use the IME on your phone
@@fabiothebest89lu I bought the stickers but they felt funny and didn’t stay on the keys very long either.
Thank you so much for your comment! And yes, it's such a weird experience to get used to a completely new keyboard layout! I second the advice from Fabio regarding the stickers... if they came off too fast, it might be that a different brand is needed! And yes, talking to yourself definitely counts as output! What brought you from German to Korean?
