Great Video, thanks!

Focus is the key to any type of learning imo. Thanks for the book overview

Thank you 🙏 for this wonderful video .. I really liked the idea of reading the book in Mandarin.

Hi, are you a Filipino?you speak tagalog so well. I couldn't be more proud of you, keep it up!

Hope you enjoyed this video and took away something useful! And if you're interested in more language tips and what I’m learning each week, then check out my newsletter: speakada.com/matthew-alberto-newsletter/

Question for you sir.... After doing this method for a period of time. Were you able to deliver a good conversation to a native person like for example Spanish... the very first time you use it ? Thank you😊

Great review and application. Wonderful book

Congratulations Matthew, on standing up for what is right. There is no place in the language learning community for racism and prejudice ( or anywhere else for that matter)

I recently knew your channel, yesterday to be more exactly, I really love it. Thanks so much for helping us.

Awful book. Sadly.😟

Hello, The one thing that i am struggling with is speaking the language that i am learning. So i came in to the idea that if reading aloud will eventually improve my speaking skills. I was wondering if you agree with that or if you have any idea if it does work or not? I have no one to practice with and it costs too much money to hire a tutor. Do you have any idea of how to do it, how to find subjects to tackle and the process that comes with it to help us improve our speaking skills without engaging with people, since i am an introvert person avoiding people. Thank you

Oops, totally attempting to multitask while watching this 😅 I book all my language classes early in the morning, it’s a fun way to start the day too! ☀️

Thank you very much.

Nice video. Thankyou. I practice Spanish by speaking to my corn snake called Rosberg. Although he has a Finnish name, he was actually born in London, so English is his native language. Most of our conversations are a bit one sided. But, speaking out loud to him in Spanish has really helped my language learning. Last week, he hissed "Dame un raton congelado" to me .

Fight fight fight 🎉

I'm glad the hearing ruled in your favor. I understand uou were not expecting money... but a financial compensation would have been nice. Take care!

Great content on your channel. I think you have a lot of potential and you'll continue to grow. But I have to be honest, the constant cuts every three to seven words are very distracting and make it almost unlistenable sometimes. Maybe it's just me, so take it for what it's worth. But again, good work.

This is a fantastic idea 💡

I use Duolingo, Anki, books and lots of audio input to learn Vietnamese. Duolingo gives you a solid basis to get a feeling of the sound, which you can then expand with books and anki, to recognise words in the audio input. Basically use the thing we can do since we were babies AND use the active learning only bigger children and adults can do.

I'm becoming fluent in Chinese but it's English my native language that I want to talk about. I like to write down my thoughts but when I listen to my thoughts to Express them I often hear words to repeat like the following sentences: 1. I Had Had it over a year ago for the same price. I dish that I had bought. 2. I think That That will change in the near future. A situation that I have. I repeat the words "Had and That" twice in my head so that's what I have started to write. I think that I need to feel and Express all of the energy that I feel so that's what I write now. I think that I even had this happen with my Chinese once. Pay attention to your thinking and feel it.

Yeah your English is great. Your method clearly works.

Sorry you experienced that. (My comment arrives late, so you might not see it). This is pure racism. I hope someone will sue them. I would understand they have a different pay level according to the teaching experience, or even university degree, but this is not the case here. It's just a way to exploit some of their employees. Disgusting. I'm white so I can't say I went through this myself... but it shocks me that such things still happen in the 2000s. It's a mentality of 1950! Keep strong and continue with your goals. There must be other companies out there who are living in this century! Hopefully you'll find another job to bring home some money while you build your channel.

Love the idea of subtitles in the same language , in my case French and having researched this, new to me facility, I observe that Netflix has this availability. Perhaps you could suggest other resources. I watch French movies on Beamafilm but it does not appear to have this facility. I've already subscribed and received you newsletter thank you.

I have a similar problem, but I put on weight and find it really difficult to get started with sport. To do sports is way more difficult than to learn languages.

This is super video

Sentence mining has always meant ONE new word. Cool to see someone trying to boost it, but… Matt from Matt vs Japan and the rest of the Refold team could’ve saved you a bunch of effort since they’ve been saying to take it one word at a time. 😅 Always happy to see others experimenting. Please keep it up and come back to us when you’ve discovered the next best way to master another language!

OK you thought you found a great method... turned out it did not work. You learned from your experience and you are humble enough to share it with other learners. It is indeed easier to remember words you saw/heard in context. If now you want to focus on CI comprehensible input, there are a lot of resources in Spanish (Many for free). On youtube I suggest: Dreaming Spanish (completely CI); Hola Spanish and Easy Spanish. I watch videos and select some words I want to learn. I put them in my Gold list (a method create by David James... you can find a few videos in English explaining the method). I also like using Lingopie. ($) You can watch series, movies and short documentaries in Spanish (and a few other languages). You click on the words when you need a translation... and the system can create flashcards for you. And you can play little memory games with your personal list. It's really fun and useful. Once you feel you have acquire enough words, it might be a good idea to transcribe not just lone words but chunks from the videos you watch. Good luck with your learning. 🙂

Anyone with a basic understanding of comprehensible input would know this wouldn’t work. You asked chatgtp to generate incomprehensible input, and it sounds like it did just that!

Felicitaciones Señor. Este vídeo inspirarme.

Another tip is to practice this method with movies or series you enjoy the most, especially those you've already known all dialogs in your native language.

My french teacher would always allowed us to choose between French and German subtitles. We chose German every time because we all hated French and just wanted to enjoy the movie. Looking back at it now, this was really dumb.

I re-watched the Japanese sumo wrestling Netflix show, 'Sanctuary' with Japanese subtitles, and found it very easy to watch - but that was because I had seen it already, and there's a lot of physical acting. Apart from that, I'm still watching anime with English subtitles, but I've trained myself to listen to the dialogue while reading the subs. I also rip the audio from some episodes (which I've already seen) and put them on my mp3 player, and listen to them if I'm travelling.

Best routine sir, para ma improve din ang mga vocabulary

I like your content in this video, I made some notes and hope to use these in my learning methods. Thanks great stuff Matthew. Do not worry about the speaking, it takes practice and strength to come across on videos when it's not a core resource for you.

I get severe headache trying to learn a new language. I have been learning Spanish for about a year now, and if I spend a lot of time focused on it the headaches come. I get a phrase, and say it over and over... try to use it at work regularly. But 'studying' it.... nope.

I probably have the opposite issue - I spend most of my time learning listening passively but forgetting to go back to read the transcript or pausing to look up words I don’t know and turn them into flash cards! 😅 I use Anki but haven’t made time to add audio or images, yet! 😅 And I love Google translate ❤️👍

Great tips! I do basic flash cards but I’d love to jazz them up with pictures… one day! I’m going to start writing down more words, by hand, too! 👍😉✨

I sometimes give chatgpt the promt write 10 sentences with " new word". Its interesting to read the new word in sentences. Maybe one of those sentenced you can write down.
