I learned this method from your Language Mentoring course and it turned everything around for me with Polish cases. There are too many rules to learn and to figure out from input in a reasonable amount of time. The exercise approach in your video is the perfect combination of context, input, and output.
I'm so impressed with your work! You inspire me)) Thanks a lot for these tips, especially for the german books wich I really want try to use, 'cause I learn german myself
I just found your videos thanks to UA-cam recommendations. Where's a video of you talking in Spanish? Spanish is my lengua materna. Me encantaría escucharte en español, I'm impressed with your English.
Thank you dear Lydia I have learned English more than10 years ago but I still have some mistakes in grammar. e.g. in using correct tense which book do you recommend for English grammar in this case?
Can I learn English when I am over fifty years old? I've been trying this for thirty years and couldn't, so I gave up and thought my genes didn't support learning another language.
Thank you Lydia. Seems every expert says grammar isn't important. To me, it's fundamental to start with a grammar book, like you show here. It's the building block.
My boyfriend likes to use a book called "English Grammar in Use." I've looked through the book many times as a native speaker, and I think it is helpful for English learners.
I must tell the truth. I have never bought a Grammar book in order to improve my language skills. I have learnt grammar of course, but then I have just focused on listening and speaking correctly rather than doing exercise after exercise, which is so boring to me.
Any good book for English? I have the one you recommend for German, I just have to start using it. Would you recommend to stick to one language at a time, or to practice grammar this way foe several languages in parallel? Thx!
I live in Japan Part time and would like to learn the language. Extra difficulty is the 3 Japanese writing systems. For learning Japanese expressions i use The Goldlist Method. Would you ( or another polyglot) have a suggestion for learning Japanese Grammar? Thank you
Initially I HATED grammar (including the very word itself, 'grammar'). I do have the Italian version of this book you mention, yes. Actually what helped me was to study grammar terms in my native language English first, because I think English grammar is not taught that well in our schools.
Any recommendations for Polish grammar? I have nearly finished the Assimil method from French: "le Polonnais", but after this I think I will benefit from doing extra grammar exercises, as the Polish cases and verbs are so difficult for native English speakers.
Something which no-one seems to emphasise with grammar, but which I fine enormously helpful. Most grammars present you with intimidating slabs of text and dense tables. But our our visual memory is orders of magnitude more powerful than our ability to memorise text. So I always try and diagram the grammar as a concept map, mind map or flowchart - depending which method fits best. My notes have 2 columns - visuals on the left, and any details, exceptions etc on the right - using coloured text. Works far better as a cheat-sheet compared to dense longhand notes.
Assimil/ Colloquial and Teach Yourself have Russian among their languages for sure. As I don't know what level you're looking for, consult Google and Amazon to find exactly what you need.
That'll be hard, Daniel, because my method is really a combination of methods which I change with every language. What remains is 4 pillars: fun (I have to enjoy the process), effective methods (tried and tested by polyglots), system (I wouldn't stick to my leaening if it weren't systematic) and intensity (one has to learn a lot to learn a language well). I can talk more about it in the next videos :)
@@Languagementoring yes that is what I'm trying to talk about... The four Pillar... wich I saw in your webinar... If you can make a quick review it'll be awesome. Take care see you soon
You might try Česky 'Krok za krokem' There are two textbooks, which take you from beginner through to about B2 level, but there are also two workbooks you can buy to use in tandem (or independently) from the courses. I'm about half-way through the second 'pracovní sešit' - if anything there is too much material, as the books are very thick. Also they have an answer key in the back so they are ideal for the independent learner. Enjoy!
Oh Lydia, you have such enthusiasm for language learning it's almost touching. "Having problems with grammar? Go to the nearby bookstore, pick up the first grammar book you see, read it, do the exercise, and if not enough do the exercise again." Now this might be fun for you, it's nightmarish for many people..
It's always important to have a stong WHY for anything. There is no need to learn more than one language if you don't need to. I visit villages where people are quite content knowing their mother tongue. And I meet some people who speak three languages and are cribbing about not know 4. It's a result of globalization.
Beware of the grammar trap. Studying grammar will cause you to lose confidence and be hesitent to speak. GRAMMAR WILL NOT HELP YOU LEARN A LANGUAGE! You didn't need to learn grammar when as a baby you learned your native language and you don't need it now to learn another language. Studying grammar will make it more difficult for you to learn a language. If you must, study grammar after you become fluent.

I also like the smell of new textbooks :))
It's not all about text book, it's about how you use it, and it is not the text book you have from school !

You really need to improve your grammar. You can't use present perfect (have learned) with ago. Only simple past. *I learned.
Try recording yourself and sending the video to a native speaker for feedback. Make sure to speak without prior preparation.
Is reading good for improve language?
Hi Hamada, definitely, especially if you enjoy reading! :) It exposes you to a lot of authentic language.
The problem is how i can find this book in my country is so hard to find them

Murphys grammar book is where I learned my English.
Stannard Allen's Living English Structure.
Uh.. I also like if how nicely books smells. It means that I'm not alone with this and it might means that I become fluent as You in Englsh soon ?:)
Sure, different people prefer different approaches, and the same results can be achieved whether you study from paper or from the screen :)

Many thanks Lýdia for sharing it. Any English grammar book that you recommend us?
English Grammar in Use by Murphy :)

Hi, you can check internet websites such as Amazon or Bookdepository and order it from there. Good luck, hope you manage to find something!
I have the italian version!
Have you found a book you like? How do you feel about your grammar now, after working with it?
Initially I HATED grammar (including the very word itself, 'grammar'). I do have the Italian version of this book you mention, yes. Actually what helped me was to study grammar terms in my native language English first, because I think English grammar is not taught that well in our schools.
In our country there are not book of other language wht should i do
Search for exercises on the Internet or use apps for smartphones! Good luck!
Could you recommend some good grammar book for people learning English (intermediate and advanced level)?

What is the best book to learn English grammar ?
And what grammar book do you recommend for english?
Fun fact: We have not idea about the subjunctive 😅😅😅 so don’t worry if you’re learning Spanish.
I actually have been trying to find something like this for Mandarin Chinese for a long time, but in vain so far...
Lidya thank you so much 😍
You need more volume. Your presentations are wonderful, but it is too hard to hear this one.
It seems like you have all the answer I'm looking for !!!
I like how she knows what she is talking about
Great video. Thank you! I need to refresh my French and German grammar. Thanks for your recommendation.
I don't found any video from you speaking in french neither in Spanish!!!! only in English why?
Go to her website and she has been interviewed in all the languages she claims to speak fluently. So it's not a joke.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a book like this for Russian grammar?
Assimil/ Colloquial and Teach Yourself have Russian among their languages for sure. As I don't know what level you're looking for, consult Google and Amazon to find exactly what you need.
Hey du sprichst ja deutsch kannst du mir paar tip geben englisch zu Lernen
Turkish?
Well I'm native Spanish speaker and I don't even know what the subjunctive is it.
Why would anyone wants to learn german or franch which only few people speak ?
Because they're the easiest to learn as they're both close to English.
@@Onmysheet thats very cheap mentality
Nice... Great tip! Please make a video telling us about your method in 5 minuts... general tips... Thanks

Then don't learn the language if it's such trouble to you 😂😂
You know there isn't a different way of doing it, obviously if there were one, no one would do what Lýdia suggests... 😂
Well, there's always a price to pay. 😅😅
It's always important to have a stong WHY for anything. There is no need to learn more than one language if you don't need to. I visit villages where people are quite content knowing their mother tongue. And I meet some people who speak three languages and are cribbing about not know 4. It's a result of globalization.
I can smell your book too
You're so cute 😍
