Being afraid of looking/sounding dumb is what always holds me back from improving in other languages. I really wanna get over that.
cookieaddictions Me too
I'm learning english
What language are you learning?
If you want I could help you.
Same
cookieaddictions that’s why you should say sorry if I got things wrong I am learning this language
Same, I'm learning French and the anxiety is horrible.
1- Watch UA-camrs and follow them on social media
2- Change your phone language
3- Read books in english
4- Watch the newspapers and TV shows in english
5- Follow cooking recipes
6- Have conversations with yourself
7- Memorize lyrics
These are fantastic tips. This is how I learned to speak German. I didn't have anyone to talk German to, so I emerged myself in the language with basic tv shows, music and radio. Now I am learning Portuguese and your channel is really helping!
Could.you tell me what did you use (like app and everything) and which show and music because I can't find good German music and Idk where find german radio show
+Khadja Paux Download the Spotify app and search up the playlist 'Made in Germany'; some great up-and-coming artists like Mark Forster and Silbermond. Another great tool that I use is listening to the radio station '100% Deutsch' on the TuneIn Radio app
+SeñorMcCool1 wow thanks you so much !
+Khadja Paux listen to Söhne Mannheims - they have great songs and they use quite easy lyrics in their songs. Same goes for Xavier Naidoo. I learned most of my German through music!
+PaaigeAlexis English and Dutch. The latter helped with learning German. Portuguese is a comp,evenly different story though!
The moment when I decide to change my phone's language to Italian but I cannot even find the language settings in English.
it be like that
I did exactly same thing, but with greek haha
Catch me screaming to papaoutai in the name of education
m c | STROMAE IS SOOO GOOD
@@BonzikillBeach yes he is!
uu te papa UTE!!!!!!
Me at the karaoke bar last night lol
AND CARMENNNN
You guys should do live stream foreign language lessons every week so we could interact more lol
This.
+Gabella omg yes!!
+Gabella There are people that do this already...Hindi University does it every Sunday on UA-cam
Yes!
Awesome idea 💡 =D
Best Spanish Shows on Netflix
1. La casa de papel
2. El internado
3. Narcos
4. Elite
5. Las chicas del cable
Edit: el internado is no longer on netflix so I recommend narcos mexico it's one of my favorites rn
Silvana sin llama tambien
@@camfowler798 Silvia sin lana I looked it up on google sounds interesting I'll check it out thank you
also rebelde is another one
Also La casa de los flores lol
thank you!
These guys know how to talk, they sound great, theyre fun, theyre smart, theyre charming and actually teach you cool stuff. I'm glad I found them, the videos they make are actually able to distract me from my misery. thanks :D
First of all , I hope you’re doing better and that you don’t feel miserable
Second of all , I couldn’t agree more , they have the whole package
i hope life is treating you better now
And their teeth are shining!
Well I used to get Ds and Fs in English and I couldnt build a simple sentence or even understand what people were trying to tell me in English.. I started to follow English accounts on Instagram and watch Superwoman(She has a Canadian accent which was the easiest accent for me to understand) and now I get like As and Bs. I am proud at myself that I have come so far. And now I am struggling with French.. Leh
the critic Your English is very good!
What's your native language?
So proud of yu!!1
When someone who’s English is their second language, is better at English than you
How is a Canadian accent any easier than Northern US accent? Seems strange
Does anyone want to be French conversation buddies with me?
(loving this)
The Muggle Wizard je suis la !
Ouaiiii! Vous avez skype ou Facebook?
The Muggle Wizard moi aussi!
Moi aussi!!
Do many people wants learn French here or am I completely wrong ?
I wanna learn French because my family speaks it. Both my parents know French, Hatian Creole, AND English. Lol
+Grace Laurent Does your parents have some origins or did they just learns it ?
+Khadja Paux They're both from Haiti, the French went there in like the 1700-1800s
How nice ! Courage pour la suite de ton apprentissage !
+Khadja Paux Merci beaucoup :)
GET THAT AUDIBLE PROMO THO!!!
MacDoesIt Wow hello
MAC
Oh yeet its Mac
Mac are you learning a language lmao
I try learning the French lyrics to Disney songs since I already know what they mean. So much fun!!
Mary A I have found that finding music (that you know) and listening to it in a different language works REALLY well. I wanted to learn some sign language with a friend for fun and we found a channel on YT with popular songs in sign language and how to sign them.
Mary A That's exactly what I've been doing haha!
Just watch the whole Disney movie in French
Omg great idea. Disney songs are beautiful in other languages as well.
You to are freaking gorgeous!
Also...does anyone have recommendations for Italian TV shows?
Andreea Potra I'm italian and... um, not really, haha. Are you studying italian?
Andreea Potra hi
I'm also looking for italian tv shows and especially youtubers!
Andreea Potra *two
post it notes eg kitchen , table , chair "I'm making a cup of tea "
your charisma levels are off the chart, holy crap :)
Just found your channel and you guys are awesome I love it! I speak several languages too and that's exactly how Iearnt them, by listening to youtubers, music, watching tons of brazilian telenovelas 😂Gotta do what helps!
TheUrbanEve how log did it take you to learn your first language?
Omg you’re here??😂
Menina, lembra da Nazaré? Hahaha.
I'm dying. Lol
TheUrbanEve Where did you find brasilian telenovelas with subtitles on english? Bc i can't find..
Samsung Phone i think she watched without subs tho
I'm a big Harry Potter fan so I'm trying to read Harry Potter in French, the whole book is online in French x
Emily Cooper I am as well and was thinking about doing that is it extremely difficult and how good r u at French
Emily Cooper omw! Me too I’m halfway through the first one Harry Potter à l’école des sorcièrs!! It’s so fun!!
I want to but my French isn’t that good yet
Where can I find that?
Wait wait wait.. your name is emily cooper and ur learning french ? Coincidence i think not #emilyinparis
Some other methods I've used. Listening to nursery rhymes and reading children's stories if you are a beginner, these things are designed to teach children a language so it will definitely help you with basic vocab. Meeting people, I can almost guarantee, no matter what language you are learning there are native speakers in your city. The best way to find them is through social media or ad sites which allow you to post social groups. Just explain why you want to meet people and your level of expertise in the language. A lot of people will be willing to do it because it will help improve their English and they know the situation you're in.
i'm german and i want to learn many languages but i haven't started yet.
watching english youtube videos that very interested me, i improved a lot without really studying and it was so much fun! it also helped me with the pronounciation and i am nearly fluent in english. :D
wirsindamleben same :D
Nevertheless, have as much conversations as you can, since through listening, you won't get really better in the language you're learning. For vocabulary, read books. For your pronunciation, well, I'd recommend "Sounds American", "Rachel's English" and "The Accent's Way". They will be relevant for you if you aim to speak GenAm.
Have fun, though. Just wanted to give you some tips.
Good job!! I wish America made us study languages for more than two years like Germany does
I'm from Brazil and I'm learning english at this moment watching some television shows like Friends and also hearing different youtubers.
+Forever Teen This works like magick, don't you think?
Hahaha I'm trying to learn Portuguese
+R for Rae Quer ajuda?
+R for Rae www.duolingo.com
Foi assim que eu aprendi! Melhor maneira de estar em contato com o jeito que eles realmente falam, não a maneira "quadrada" da gramática
Didn't pay attention to what you said cause i just couldn't take my eyes of Damon's hair
+Jade Cavati We have a video about that in a few days - back when I was pretty much bald lmao
***** hahaha i will check it out
That's funny. I kept lookin at Jo's hair. That curl definition tho
how does it defy gravity like that
+Jade Cavati wow I was just like you the entire video, actually I think that I always pay much attention in their hairs because both are too beautiful, but in this video Damon's hair was specially amazing
It's funny that I came across you guys while doing the exact thing you're describing, finding youtubers who speak other languages in order to learn French. I'm even watching this video with French subtitles so I can catch some expressions. It's a more entertaining way to learn
AMAZING! We started doing it cause there was no one doing it! :D
SAME
Yessss, i'm also doing this
I’m trying learn French too
L I'm learning French as well! You have any channels to recommend?
(English) LOVE YOUR VIDS
(french) J'aime tes videos
(Italian) amo i tuoi video
(spanish) Me encantan tus vidos
(Portuguese) Amo seus vídeos
(Italian) amo i tuoi videi*
(Spanish) amo tus vídeos
No it's correct "video" as the plural form of "video" "videi" sounds completely wrong. Italian speaker here I can understand your doubts though
(Polish) Kocham wasze filmiki
It's Me, Cousin Nicky it’s video, no one says videi here
2:26 OH MY GOD. "The Girl On The Train" one of the best books out there.
The movie too!
the plot damon explained on the audible book.... is it that book "girl on the train"??
Yes!
Yezzzz
Or girl of the train
Amazing book
Inês Magalhães in Brazil it was translated as "Garota no trem".
For the past year or two I've been really trying to improve my spanish. I watch Masterchef (Argentina, I find the accent easier to understand than most).. Music trying to pay attention to song lyrics, quotes by Spanish authors, following the news in Spanish on my phone and last but not least.. I use one of the countless language groups you can find on whatsapp.
The latest quote I came across (by Julio Cortazar) : "Tenemos que obligar a la realidad a que responda a nuestros sueños, hay que seguir soñando hasta abolir la falsa frontera entre lo ilusorio y lo tangible, hasta realizarnos y descubrirnos que el paraíso estaba ahí, a la vuelta de todas las esquinas"
Learning languages is sexy!
If you're learning French I can't recommend 'Les Revenants' more. It's amazing and it's also on Netflix (subtitled) under 'The Returned' (Don't watch the American remake, it's not as good)
+Asa Taylor you are a completely right,i am brazilian trying to learn french at home then i asked some of my friends if they knew some good tv shows in french and i am satisfied just with les revenants,it just happens to be one of the best things i have watched in my life.
+Gustavo Gila It's amazing, right! I just finished it last week and I don't know what to do with myself now haha.I wonder if they've seen it? Damon and Jo if you're reading this vous devez le voir!
+Asa Taylor Hhahha,man i'm not gonna lie i feel sorry for you i don't know what i'm going to do after finishing it either, i will probably be just lost,but man Damon and Jo just HAVE to suggest it in their videos.
Do you guys have any other French series recommendations? I've been lost since I've finished Les Revenants
+Laura L. Don't really know of any others I'm afraid. Anyone please comment if you know any, I could do with another. :)
Hey!
My name is Louane and I'm french. I watch english videos everyday, because I'd like so much to speak english.
I hope one day I'll speak this beautiful language and even if it's no easy everyday, maybe i 'll sucess !
Hi ! Do you want to work together to learn each other’s language, i’m very good at English as it’s my first language and I’d love to learn from because part of my family comes from the French speaking part of Africa
You're already doing so well, keep up the good work
That’s good! I’m glad someone finds English to be beautiful. It’s my native language and I have found it boring 😂 I also horseback ride
Riordan Core same my parents are African and speak French but they never taught me, now I’m trying to learn French so I can communicate with a lot of my family members and just to know it :)
I hope you’ll sucess (i’m french too ;)
"did i have to pay for that" i sure as hell hope you payed for your phone.
perspective))
It would be interesting to see you guys try and learn a language that has a different alphabet than our western ABC! It's quite a challenge I must say but it's so cool to write down symbols that make sense to you but seem like gibberish to others :)
+Ali Diaz I'd challenge them to try to learn Chinese, Korean and Japanese. I know Jo already knows a little bit of Arabian.
+lalalabizola I feel like Korean would be the easiest of alphabets to learn. Once you get the hang of it, Korean is pretty easy!
+Ali Diaz I see what you did there. The hangul of it haha.
+Ali Diaz I think for right brained people (or creative artsy folk) learning an alphabet can be pretty simple but quite enjoyable...
***** would it be Arabian Arabic? I've heard some Arabic be referred to in this way before but I'm not actually sure if that is what's being referred to...
Omg I love you guys! I'm from Brazil and a lot of people here take english classes outside school. I tried it but it's just so boring and it doesn't matter how many years you're taking these classes, you probably won't be confident enough to take in english in a foreign country. That's why I learned it on internet! I've become so much better that now I can listen to youtube videos without subtitles and I understand english song lyrics without having to translate it to portuguese! I think one of the things that helped me the most was Tumblr because it's a mainly english website. Also, music is the best thing when it comes to learning a new language! I'm currently listening to some french artists from your spotify playlist to help me :) xx
Sorry about the grammar mistakes :/ I'm typing way too fast hahahaha
As far as UA-cam goes: you can also change your country on UA-cam, and now with the "trending" thing, you can see what's trending in any country you want!!
+Sara Boggio Oh that's awesome!
How do you change the country on Facebook and UA-cam?
+Sara Boggio How to do this?
go to the main page, and scroll all the way down. At the bottom o the page, there's optins that say "language" "country", etc.
+Sara Boggio thanks
I love you guys, I currently just went to Germany and improved my German so much, and now going to university and will major in Spanish!
I'm so glad I found you guys, your channel is incredible
Just go up to someone and ask if they speak that language. As far as I know, it is not rude to go up to someone and ask that. You will be amazed by how excited and grateful these people are when you attempt to speak their language. My dad is a native Spanish speaker and his face lights up when he hears my friends seriously trying to communicate with him. I'm learning Arabic and I went to the gas station and started speaking with the guy at the register and he was beyond happy that I was trying to say little phrases like "hello" "my name is" "thank you". These are the little steps you need to take to learn a language. It's so satisfying to get some words out of speaking. Good luck everyone!
Sooo true! whenever I hear someone speak Albanian it makes me so happy :)
I speak Arabic we can practice English and Arabic together if you don't mind my English is not that bad I can say maybe my level is B1 🙌
I'm brazilian and I started making videos in English to post here on youtube so I can see my progress in the language and maybe help other people too. It's not easy but I love speaking English and I also love youtube, so it's been fun :)
I loved the tips, you guys are awesome!
Have you guys ever learned a language with a different alphabet? Because I'm trying to learn Korean at home and it's being pretty hard to get familiar with reading completely different letters from what I'm used to. Any tips?
well i know 3 languages , arabic hebrew and english ... and i'm looking to learn korean .. so first of all get to know some words then start learning the alphabets and then connect those two 😉
I'd def say watch korean variety/dramas, most of them are already english subbed (I rec kshowonline.com if you're interested in variety shows and dramacool for dramas). Talktomeinkorean is a really good site to start with the basics and grammar to progress. It's also a plus if you do happen to understand Chinese, bc from when I was learning Korean, you could direct translate quite an amount of Korean words/phrases to Chinese so it was easier for me to understand.
+Ana Pisani TenguGo is a great app. I learned the Hindi and Arabic/Urdu alphabet with it...It took me like a week to be able to read Hindi...There is also a comic that explains the Korean alphabet really well...Search for the Polyglot group on UA-cam and someone can send you the image I'm sure...
+Ana Pisani I was thinking about the same as watching the video. I have been studying japanese for years and the reading and writing is still very difficult because it's a whole different thing. Two things that works for me: studying by flashcards and trying to read music lyrics as listening to it, like in a karaoke. It helps you get used not just to the individual characters, but to whole words and expressions. And as you are talking about korean, I know it's not gonna be difficult to find some music to listen haha
if you wanna learn korean, you can text me through kakaotalk.
i'm willing to help you cause im a native haha. my id :conanj
Damon literally described my struggle with learning French in college! Thumbs up for that! i'm so glad my sister shared this channel with me; you just gained a new subscriber! Yay!
also you can search up videos you regularly watch in english (i watch morning routines and "what i eat in a day") but translate the words to the language you want to learn (in french mine would be routine du matin and "ce que je mange en un journee") and it is so entertaining and helpful and you don't get bored of it!
This is an amazing video!
I am a Chinese guy and I've been learning English for more than 11 years, but I actually speak and use this language for just maximum 3 years. And now I can proudly say I speak English perfectly, even learning French with the foundation of English not my mother tongue Chinese. I this it is very essential that a person who is studying a foreign language should realise the languages need to be working not only for these lame language tests in school, most importantly for using them in every day living. Repeat them when you hear someone saying a new word you don't know, speak to the cashier when going to the supermarkets buying some food, read them when you seeing an ad board on the street and of course pause and learn them carefully when you watching tv series with the foreign language subtitles on. This is the core purpose of learning a language and the tip i wanna share with y'all. thank you damon and jo.
My way of learning a language:
1) Set your phone to your new language before you learn anything!
2) Download a language exchange app (I use Tandem or HelloTalk) before you learn anything!
3) Use a language course that either is free or costs next to nothing: (Duolingo and Babbel are really good, NOT Rosetta Stone!)
4) Study every day and stick to the plan with this!
5) Speak the language EVERYDAY on that language learning app you bought earlier!
What do you think about duolingo
I'm fluent in English and Spanish and I'm using it for Portuguese and I like it! (: Watching videos, films, and even reading blogs in Portuguese has helped me as well!
It's quite slow in my opinion
Heather Easton omg yea it is! That's why I stopped using it
I used the app to learn French, Italian, and Danish. Aside that it's free for a broke person like me, it's an advantage. On my opinion, I liked the concept of their learning technique and when it comes to a couple of sentence structures can be confusing. If you want to use the app only for the exposure of basic words and usage. 😃
Are you using the app? What language are your focus, mine would be French.
What is a GOOD app to learn new languages? (I’m learning French)
When I hear french my ears litteraly have butterflies
I'm Brazilian, from Rio!! I lived in Texas and Colorado for two years. I came back to Brazil last October since then I've tried to put myself in contact with the language as much as I can. I keep touch with my American friends which helps a lot.
Guys come to Toronto!! Not only will you notice the difference between our english slang but our city is so multicultural and there are som many restaurants from different countries where you can practice the language you want to get better at and they will never respond in english unless you ask them to! It would also be great to meet you guys:)
If you don't mind I'm looking for someone to practice English with if you want I will be appreciated
spotify has playlists on learning languages like italian, french, etc.! just go under the 'browse' , to the 'word' and just scroll to find them! i've been using it to learn italian!
I cant find this :( such a good idea!
Just search "Learn *whatever language*" and they should come up. I don't know how many they have though. This is the Italian one: open.spotify.com/user/spotify/playlist/5Jyk6w3uopeJcNSWBkyi2Z
this vid made me subscribe
What languages are you learning?
***** Are you asking me, or the person who originally commented? Or the people who made the video? Haha
Same

Hiiii, I tried this top youtuber tip but it didnt work out well to me since I had trouble relating to most of the UA-camrs I found and/or their content, so I think I improved that tip a little. First, I think of a subject or kind of content i'm already used to watch in my native language, then I turn it into keywords in the language that I want to find the youtubers and videos and search on UA-cam. This makes easier to find something you'll really enjoy! For instance, I use this to find reviews about movies and series that I'm interested in, dicussions about the ones I already watched and so. Thanks so much for the tips Damon and Jo! And for those struggling to learn another languages, do not give up, you'll get there!!!
I still go back to you and your videos always motivate me to keep going on my journey.
The app Hello Talk is really helpful. It allows you to chat with native speakers that are trying to learn English
you forgot an advice - the best one: get a boyfriend from abroad!
Genau getroffen!
Didn't help to me. My ex boyfriend from London speak 2 languages: English and my native language and we speak it on my native language.
Yes I agree! Im German and my boyfriend is from Brazil. Now I have to learn Portuguese to speak to his family. Bist du auch Deutsch?
"changement de langue" my iphone says....Damon & Jo u better hope this works out bc I might get stuck w a French phone 😭
+Kyla Gray hahahahhaahaha you might but at least you'll learn the vocab along the way ;)
I used to do this, but then there were times when I was tired of it and changed back to English. I should do this again soon!
I literally started watching your videos like half an hour ago and I can't believe how useful and entertaining it has been! You guys are hilariously witty and clever. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experiences :)
Loved this!! Growing up our my house was a “Spanish speaking only” but my mom wanted me to learn English. Going to school helped but watching cartoons in English is seriously what helped me learn the language so much faster!! Thanks for the tips, now I should go back to learning Portuguese 🙃!
This is the first video I've watched of them and I already love them
Something i think that would be cool: one whatsapp group to learn languages. For example, we can make one with brazilians who want to learn english and americans who want to learn portuguese. If you want to say something, you need to say in the language you want to learn. Maybe it sounds a little confusing, but would be awesome. Sorry for my bad english 😛
Sabrina Ferreira That's a really good idea!
Sabrina Ferreira you are a genius. I hope you made it happen. Your English is also pretty perfect.
Sabrina Ferreira im really in for this!!!! Did you make this whatsapp group?
Sabrina Ferreira Eu uso esta técnica exata e isso tem me ajudado a melhorar a minha escrita em Português, mas minha pronúncia é ruim porque eu não entendo a praticá-lo muitas vezes. Preciso de amigos brasileiras mais antes de eu ir ao Brasil no próximo ano 🤙🏼😄
I am Brazilian, I do not know how to speak English if you can put some group of whatsapp my number: (81) 986520281
Omg The Girl on the train?
I googled french youtubers and who comes up?
DAMONANDJO
and here i am watching a video in english, your energy is addicting. Bises
Learning phonetics is what helped me in learning Spanish. The phonetics book that I purchased had diagrams that were helpful and showed how the tongue is suppose to be placed, which was really beneficial. So I was able to learn how to pronounce "vaca" with a soft b and "beso" with a hard B. I also studied abroad in Cuernavaca, Morelos (Mexico) and attended a language school there called Kukulcan, for two weeks. That 2 week immersion was the most I ever learned. More then I ever learned in any classroom. I stayed with a host family. We would have language discussions at the dinner table. I walked around town, talking to the locals. It was great!
somebody gives me a tip, it was put post it on all thing in your flat with the word that matches for example on your chair you put post it where there is written chaise. I hope I have been clear to the English-speaking people because I'm french.
quelqu'un m'a donné un conseil, c'était de mettre un post it sur toutes les choses de ton appartement avec le mot qui correspond par exemple sur ta chaise tu poses un post it où il y a écrit chaise. J’espère que j'ai été claire pour les anglophones parce que je suis française
Como eu adoro essa dupla
Tip: make friends on talk exchange platforms and bring the best ones (i.e. the best study partners/friends) over to Skype. You will get contacts from many different spanish speaking countries, which is helpful and best of all, its possible that you visit them or they visit you :)
I know this is an old video BUT I love you guys! lol I've been living in Germany this year and I'm American but every German I've talked to learned English from watching their favorite tv show or movie with subtitles.
I usually HATE when youtubers promote companies like audible because its so overused and sounds like they're clearly only doing it for money but these guys incorporated that very well into the video and made it make sense. Love these guys
My biggest tips are definitely definitely watching UA-cam videos in the language, listen to almost all of your music in that language, definitely try to learn song lyrics, I also suggest learning more about the culture in general cause then you'll be a little more interested in continuing your experience (as well as slang cause it's always fun to learn to talk natively), oh also going to restaurants or any place you can practice that language, and most most most most definitely try your absolute hardest to pronounce things correctly from the beginning because once you have less of an accent you'll feel so much more comfortable actually putting that language into practice, oh and definitely have shower conversations with yourself in that language and always try to be thinking like oh I wonder what how to say this and then actually search it up because you'll be trying to learn things you actually say a lot! Love this video so so much I just found you guys and am so excited to start watching your videos!
Hey Lexi! I love your tips, thanks!... I'm speak to myself everyday in my shower HAHAHAHA
I love this I really want to improve my French and Portuguese!
What's the best grammar book for learning french at home that will teach you everything?
+summer kellers Check out our blog! We wrote down all the movies and books and pretty much everything we used to help us learn French! shutupandgo.travel/learn-french/
+DamonAndJo oh my gosh thank you so much i love you guys!
+summer kellers the best book is here on DamonAndJo Channel ! xD Or you can ask some french people to help you , it will always be good to interact with people on skype or whatever you want.
btw, i'm french ^^
Sinon je vous adore Damon et Jo. Continuez comme çà.
A la prochaine ;)
French speaker here ! I'm currently learning italian thanks to Duolingo. It's both an app and a website and it's freee !
I've been doing training sessions with it for 14 days now and it's so much fun. I definitely recommend it !
the fact that you guys speak so many languages also adds to your subscriber count, cos you got so many ppl that can understand!! I love your channel & your tips!!
I read you post about things polyglots do. Another thing:
Sometimes I get bored of saying things in my native language like "indeed" so then I almost throw in a "ja das stimmt" just for fun but then I realize my friends won't understand and it would only derail the conversation hahah (maybe I'm just weird)
Me too! I text my friends in French sometimes just to mess with them and for a change of pace
Rachel Behik Ahh voilà! ;)
+Nina I do this all the time with my friends. Someone will start speaking in French and for the next 20 minutes, we'll continue the conversation in French :)
***** But my problem with that is that nobody of my friends would understand hahah :) It'd be nice if they did!
The privilege of growing up in Belgium ;) Everyone has to learn at least 2 foreign language in school, most learn 3
If you want to learn french, just watch at the same time motoki maxted video, and in parallel math podcast's.
Direct translation, it is perfect.
Hahaha, je crois que c'est le commentaire le plus drôle que j'ai jamais vu. xD
I love you both! Keep up the good work :)
Hello damon and johanna, I'm french and I watch your videos with french subtitles and I love that because he help me to learn english and when you speak I all understand. Thank you so much. I LOVE YOUU ❤
Basically, change your surroundings to your target language, especially on whatever you love doing!
I am actually doing this with one of my favorite visual novels, Phoenix Wright, and my French is improving a ton. I even read out loud the text to practice pronunciation. All whilst having fun!
Nice video guys!
5:26 me too! i’m learning english and i always have conversations with myself in the shower lmao
The book is The Girl on the Train!
I wish Duolingo had Korean or Japanese bc it's reeeally useful T_T
but I'm trying to learn through youtube or TTMIK c:
+Yumi incubator.duolingo.com/courses/ko/en/status Korean is in the incubator on Duolingo actually for english speakers, but I'm not sure when it's going to be released. The estimated completion date is the silliest I've ever seen.
+死神きよし I know right lol. 2099 if I'm not mistaken😂. It'll be done by the end of next year im sure
Glossika is great too - maybe they have Korean or Japanese?
Laura Axelsen Japanese is already out for Android on mobile. I'm using it right now. Korean I'd say is about 60-70% done
Memrise is similar to Duolingo and it has Korean and Japanese:)
When i'm not with my family speaking Italian i love to listen to italian podcasts about news and comedy. It really helps me keep on that italian grinddd. so basically listen to podcasts in the language you wanna learn and it's great cause a lot of them are free. Helps with pronunciation too woo.
i've been using some of these learning hacks, and seeing french comments and being able to read them has me so excited! yes!
What are some Tv show and movies in french??
+Sandra Queen Un gars une fille!
+DamonAndJo merci
+Sandra Queen If you want a show for language learners, you could try Extr@. I show this one to my students.
+Sarita French merci beaucoup
+Sandra Queen en film, il y a intouchable, en série outre un gars une fille, il y a fais pas ci fais pas ça

Mas tive bons resultados quando estudava em casa só q parei e voltei para estaca zero. Isso q dá ser pobre se fosse rica ia passar meses nos states e voltava fluente kkkkkk

Schney oh Wow, that’s pretty cool, I’m Dutch 😃 And right now I’m studying French and Arabic.

You guys make learning languages seem like so much fun and I hope and think that you're a part of a big change in how we learn languages not just in our private lives but also in school
some study tips i use;
- If ur a visual learner then when im writing down vocab i draw out the word, ex. a shirt, I'll draw a shirt then I'll write it in the language im learning
- i take posted notes and i write down words of everyday objects in my house then i put them on that object so i can attach the word with the object
- taking notes in school, if im taking notes for a class and i know a word that's in my notes, instead of writing it down in my native tongue ill write in the language i learning
- when i set my alarm ill put the reminder on it as 1 or 2 vocab words so when i wake up i can look at it and while i getting ready i can recite those words in my head
I am trying to learn French on Duolingo... hmm ;)
Same. I also recommend you use other apps but I’m just beginning. I’ve only been on it and memrise for a few months but there aren’t many resources to learn French or at least grammar.
Honestly duolingo is not as effective as it seems... I recommend a UA-cam channel called french with alexa, she is literally the greatest lady on earth and you’ll learn super fast I promise
Watch innerfrench on youtube
Well it's kinda hard to read a magazine when you're trying to learn sign language
I'm currently learning spanish ^_^
And have just started learning korean (hangul) ps it's because i'm kpoper >_< xD
How are your Spanish studies going?
Azren the Language Nerd Muy bien gracias ^_^

Dada Hi! actually nothing special i watch kdrama and listen to kpop all time + i downloaded an app called 'eggbum' for teaching korean and its really useful xD
I hope this helps
oh thanks a lot i didn't know this app, and i need to watch more kdrama, im more into the kmusic for the moment but it's really usefull thank you ^^
My favorite way to learn a new language at home is to find a friend who speaks the language you're trying to learn. Having someone you trust to have a foreign conversation with, even if you're terrible at it, really helps. It's nice to be in a judge free zone :)
hey! I'm brazilian, and I'd like to say how important and funny your youtube channel is. To see a american/brazilian girl and a american boy learning portuguese is rewarding. Congratulations.
There's this app called 'Duolingo' where you can practice any language you want and you start from basics and then gradually go up. I recommend it to those who are wanting to learn a language at home.😊
Few people know about a pragmatic, efficient way to learn a new language. Those who do, advance in learning steadily and according to their schedule. While most people find themselves learning a new language as a necessity, many others do it because it is fun. It feels more sophisticated to know more than one language. It can be highly beneficial in your life over the long run. However, it is not an easy task to learn a new language no matter whether it is for fun or out of necessity. You've probably seen friends or acquaintances talk about wanting to learn a foreign language, then enthusiastically purchasing products, books, and maybe even enrolling into a course or program, only to ultimately see the reality of the fact that they have failed in their pursuit of learning another language. According to The Guardian, the ICM survey, which questioned 1,001 young people aged 14-24 from across the UK in June this year, paints a picture of a generation perhaps surprisingly open to the prospect of language learning, but often deeply lacking in the confidence of their ability to put their language studies into practice. Three in ten who chose not to study a language at GCSE or A-level say language learning is challenging, with almost half of all those questioned regarding grammar as difficult to learn and 40% seeing memorizing vocabulary as hard work. The research had indicated that A-level languages are perceived as being harder than other subjects and their content is demotivating. Sitting down with a language textbook and trying to teach yourself a new language is not only boring, it takes an inordinate amount of time. It can take months to capture the basics of a particular language. Fluency comes far later. Often, we don’t have the luxury of spending months learning a language. For example, those people who are migrating or taking up a job abroad.
However as an individual learner or with a tutor, the student can cut down the time it takes him/her to master the basics of a new language. There are methods that can be used to reduce the time it takes.
Main Essentials of Learning a New Language - They distinguish three main essentials associated with learning a new language; namely the vocabulary, basic sentence elements / patterns, and grammar rules. Vocabulary - the most basic step towards learning a new language is to learn its words. Familiarity with the words will lead you to form sentences. Sentence Patterns and Elements - this has to do with how you ask and answer questions. Making coherent sentences is the way to make someone understand what you are saying. The ability will also help you understand what others are saying and how you might respond. Grammar Rules - Each language has certain rules that need to be followed.
There is a special type of media developed for the first and second component - a bilingual graded book. Bilingual graded books are also called bilingual graded readers. They offer a parallel translation that allows the user to learn a new language in less time. With the translation on the same page, learners can effortlessly learn what any unfamiliar words mean. They can quickly pick up new vocabulary and phrases that are used over and over in texts of bilingual graded books. When they read a graded bilingual reader, they can pick up chunks of language and vocabulary that they can use in conversation and other real-world applications. It also significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to become conversational in a new language. As you read a bilingual reader, your brain begins to remember words and phrases simply because you are exposed to them several times. You don’t even realize, until you have to recall what you’ve learned, that you have already learned the new words and phrases. Listen to the audio tracks that should always accompany a bilingual graded book to learn how words are said and to improve your overall ability to speak the new language. A good idea is to use the free VLC media player to control the playing speed. You can control the playing speed by decreasing or increasing the speed value on the button of the VLC media player's interface.
Decide what is better for you a paper book or an e-book. Many of the e-readers by Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo have dictionaries pre-loaded on their devices, with options to download additional ones, for free. If you do not have an e-reader, you do not have to buy one, because you can download it as a free app to your phone and use it right away. Writing your own notes, searching or making highlights is ridiculously simple with an e-reader or e-reading app. Anything you do with an e-book is also synced to the cloud, ensuring any change will follow you, no matter what device you are on.
At first search on Google for "bilingual graded books" or "bilingual graded books for beginners". Choose and buy a book on a suitable topic, for example general, business, medical, culinary, dialogues, students, cooking, family, tourists, detective, short story or whatever you like. Read it for about twenty minutes a day. If you do it every day, you will be surprised how much you can learn in a month's time. Try to use the target language after you have learned for a month. If you don't have an opportunity to talk to native speakers at home or at work/study, use your target language in small talk on Skype or another online chat. Search on Google for "free online clean chat rooms" and pick up the one that suits your interests. Two or three minutes of small talk two or three times a week or more often will give you some motivation and encourage you to learn new questions and answers for new dialogues. Compile a list of questions and answers for your dialogues in a target language or find them on Google with keywords "Bilingual graded books dialogues" and try using them.
Don't be afraid of making errors. They are your steps to success. You will spot and correct them sooner or later anyway. They will not be for the rest of your life. Better not to talk at all than to talk incorrectly? Wrong! Start talking as much as you can! Your language will improve every time you talk. A learner who knows only a hundred words and isn't shy of talking will progress more quickly than the one who knows a thousand words but remains silent because he or she is afraid of saying something wrong.
It can usually take you from one to three months to finish a bilingual graded reader at beginner level (A1) and elementary level (A2). The amount of time depends on your previous experience with learning foreign languages and on your personal abilities. At this point you should be able to ask and answer simple questions with the following questioning words: What? Who? Where? When? Which? How many/much? As you improve and become more confident in your ability to use the new language, you can move on to the next reader level and continue your language-learning journey. After using a bilingual graded book for a week or two you are ready to study grammar rules, so buy a good grammar book. A grammar book will satisfy your curiosity about grammar rules awakened by the bilingual graded book. Read the grammar book to find out how you can use your target language more precisely. Follow this order - first read a reading book, then use a grammar book and exercises to make your learning experience uninterrupted.
Language text with a parallel translation has helped many to uncover their potential for learning multiple languages. Whether you are learning a language as a hobby or for a necessary purpose, you will find such books are supportive. Using them is by far more pragmatic, efficient way to learn a new language than a "learn a language in two weeks" program. However you should frequently use the target language by using bilingual graded books with audio tracks, grammar books, chats, internet pages and even songs to maintain your motivation and progress. Remember - twenty minutes a day does the magic!
I will try to follow some tips then I will use translator to understand its process with calm is very difficult to learn English I am doing immersion but my knowledge is zero
