    My favorite part of this interview was when he talked about the importance of enjoying the process while learning a new language, because when you are enjoying it the process becomes way easier, so I’ll keep going further knowing that every day I’ll get better!

      @FrozenMermaid666 9 місяців тому

      That’s very true, because it’s naturally easy to learn languages that are enjoyable, so it’s very important to only choose pretty languages with mostly pretty words, as pretty words naturally bring a lot of joy to the eye / ear and a naturally motivating! I highly recommend learning English 2gether with Dutch / Icelandic + Norse / Norwegian as they are the prettiest and most refined and most poetic languages ever, and all other Germanic languages are also gorgeous, so they are all a great option, and also Welsh / Breton etc and the other 4 modern Celtic languages, and there are a lot more, honestly, but I am learning them all, and learning 15+ languages at the moment! I am writer level in English and upper advanced level in Dutch and intermediate level Icelandic / Norse / Welsh and advanced level in Norwegian, and the learning process is always a lot of fun!

    • @FrozenMermaid666
      @FrozenMermaid666 9 місяців тому

      By the way, my current levels are...
      - intermediate level in Old Norse / Icelandic / Welsh
      - writer level in English + native speaker level in Spanish
      - upper advanced level in Dutch + advanced level in Norwegian
      - mid intermediate level in German / Swedish / Portuguese / French / Italian
      - beginner level in Breton / Hungarian / Gothic / Latin / Faroese / Galician / Danish / Slovene
      - total beginner in Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic / Aranese / Elfdalian / Gallo / Limburgish / Occitan / Luxembourgish / Catalan / East Norse / Ripuarian / Swiss German / Alemanic / Austrian German / PlatDeitsch / Greenlandic Norse / Friulian / Pretarolo / Sardinian / Neapolitan / Sicilian / Venetian / Esperanto / Walloon / Ladin / Guernsey / Norn / Burgundian / West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian / Finnish / Latvian / Estonian etc (and the other languages based on Dutch / German / Norwegian / Italian / French that are referred to as ‘dialects’ but are usually a different language with different spelling etc)

    Excellent interview. I totally agree with Steve. I learned Portuguese from listening to Brazilian shows and podcasts everyday for about 2 hours, no grammar. About two years later, I visited Brazil and I thought I got enough language to "survive". I was very surprised when I started speaking with locals and they understood me! I felt so happy!!
    All that passive learning got transformed into active communication.
    Language learners, keep "consuming" the language of your interest. Eventually it will come out more naturally.

    Hi Jennifer! Thanks a lot, Steve, for the awesome tips for learning English, and thanks to Jennifer for the excellent questions! Steve gave us students with his “pep talk” a lot of encouragement not to be afraid of mistakes, to have a good motivation, and to put in time to learn more.
    As for me when it comes to learning English, I tick most of the boxes as I have good motivation, I am not afraid of making mistakes, and I study regularly. The foundation is solid! Speaking English is especially difficult, and I make mistakes mostly then, but like Steve said: that doesn't matter, just keep on trying!

    • @JForrestEnglish
      @JForrestEnglish  11 місяців тому +2

    Steve Kauffman’s ability of becoming a wonderful polyglot is something that not everyone’s cup of tea but it also means that other people also acquires that skill if one can have that desire of learning without feeling of failure and guilt. Just keeping important things in mind are Acceptance of mistakes,true enthusiasm, confidence and strong desire and enjoying the entire process of learning in an elaborate way.
    I respect Steve Kauffman and his patience and dedication.

    Hello everyone! I am currently learning English and a teacher said that we should study studiously the grammar and make sentences with each topic we're studying about and then speak them loudly and repeat. What do you about this method, do you think it is useful? Hope someone can give me an opinion!😊❤

      This method is fundamental to learning any language. You’ll be able to form correct sentences automatically and will never forget it. It’s, also, crucial to focus on learning oral comprehension right from the beginning. It’s the hardest part in any language.

    16:20 When you already feel you know a language but you are not fluent: hire a good professional native philologist with also good knowledge of your own language and spend one or two hours a week talking to them, reading press articles aloud and making a speech as complex and long as you can, your tutor will correct your mistakes at the end of your speech and at the end of one year you will be fluent without major mistakes. Good health and luck to you.

    Thanks, Steve you are an awesome polyglot I liked your way of learning languages I think learning a language fluency doesn't come with repeating things translated in your head in your native language when you speak fluency comes when you understand deeply and getting many examples of different native speakers the same things whatever that is you are learning then you own the language not to speak first speaking is the result when you understand first that is called learning language as first language, not to learning as second language and second things to learning languages "naturally varied review" learning traditional way is just waiting our time thanks.

(Are there possibilities to make this process easier for one's brain?)
