New to my channel?
Welcome! I am an aspiring polyglot with a degree in Linguistics. I speak English, Spanish, French, and Esperanto, and I'm currently working on Thai. I make videos twice a week to talk about my methods of learning languages and to try to help others make language learning faster, easier, and more fun.

Fantastic vid! Comprehensible input is easily the most fun (and effective) way to learn, thank you for demonstrating the concept so well. We designed our language learning game completely around this premise. I've been following your channel for years and your videos have been a big inspiration. Please keep this awesome content coming!
I learned english through comprehensible input. My youtube stats had an averarge of 40 hours/week of watchtime, all of it in english. A year of that took me from barely keeping up at english class in school to being one of the best doing nothing.
Lucky for me my teacher noticed this improvement and new that it was due to my new ipad and she let me use it in class xD
That was about 6 years ago and my life wouldn't be the same without my english skills
Great job! :)
Nice. And your English is certainly good.
@@Iron-Bridge Thank you! :)
I'm from Brasil and this video helped me a lot, thank you!
I'm loving your new content. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for the encouragement Emily! :) Is there any video in particular you would like me to make?
Hi. Just wanted to say that I found your channel about a week ago and I literally RUSHED trough it. Love your work, really.
To add to this video, Im a spanish native speaker that learned english and french mostly using comprehensible input, even if I was not aware at the time. So I can state confidently that comprehensible input is what works the most.
By the way, can you share some conlang media or YT channels you use for comprehensible input? I think it would be so helpfull.
Im currently studyng Esperanto and Toki Pona and, as you know, isnt as easy to find material as it is in other languages such as english for example.
Thats it, thank you for reading this and keep up the good work!
Hey, can you give me some materials to learn French
Hi, I’m so glad you like my channel. Thanks for the encouragement! For learning Esperanto, I recommend Evildea, Exploring Esperanto, and Esperanto Variety show. One of my favorite shows in French is Extra French because it is a sitcom for beginners. I also like Frenchpresso, which is in Quebec French.
@@FingtamLanguages thank you! Imma give it a try. Y no es nada, ¡saludos desde México! Siempre serás bienvenido en mi tierra.
And for french I learned trough ASMR (I don't have a preference really, I just search "ASMR français" on YT), and I often listened to a podcast named "intermediate french podcast" from innerfrench. I recommend to have at least a B1 level before going there tho. Good luck!
Insightful. Is there a list of UA-cam channels with CI by language, please?
Great video.whats your opinion about advanced English grammar?should I read?if yes what book do you suggest?
Nice video! I was struggling with comprehensible input cause it was not comprehensible for me. But now I'll search for those videos on UA-cam to start, and then move to the next step. Thanks!
This is the catch 22 of compressible input. You have to actually find "Messages" that you comprehend
Find materials comprehensible for you.
Great video. I'd just add mention of graded readers particularly ones that come with audio as a good source of comprehensible input once one is at an A1 level.
Comprehensible input definitely works, but I fail to see how watching such a basic video is more interesting than the dialogues in a Teach Yourself or Assimil textbook.
The basic videos are not particularly fascinating, but as you profess, it becomes more and more interesting.
If it has a translation on the screen, you don't need to look up. Is this comrehensive input too?
To my experience with subtitles you focus more on those than the target language, also very often translations can be quite free. I live in a country where every american tv show has translations. I try to not read those and instead just listen to the english. Sometimes the translations differ quite a bit from what's actually said. That is due to differences in languages and because subtitles need to be short enough.
However watching tv shows with subtitles doesn't seem to be completely useless as I know quite a few phrases and words in japanese despite me never trying to learn it. I would still recommend not using translations if at all possible.
It's usually not since you just focus on the subtitles instead. Subtitles should be in the target language.
Comprehensible input is a great but your interpretation of the situation can lead you to a false deduction . Let say you're watching a video . A police car is behind a van. You hear : "There's a van in front of the police car ." If you understand : the police are chasing the van . This is not what the presenter is saying and it is wrong.
Yeas, but Given enough input, those things will eventually work themselves out.
