The video is great, you need to keep promoting your channel. Is not hard.

A person who confirms that this is the real method doesn't watch any inappropriate videos or download any apps just listening can take him to a high level

I assume you've heard of Dr Stephen Krashen? This is basically his "Comprehensible Input Hypothesis", perfectly summarized.

I am a retired Spanish and Linguistics Professor whose mentors in grad school were Tracy Terrell and Stephen Krashen, authors of The Natural Approach. Terrell and I and two other Spanish speakers went on to write and publish a Spanish text using Natural Approach. When we began giving workshops about this approach, we found many teachers were openly hostile . I began to do language teacher training in California and other states and used myself as a guinea pig, picking up Hebrew quite naturally. Your video is expertly done and spot on. I have shared it with my colleagues and will publicize it whenever I can. I found it on the KZbin channel Comprehensible Russian (I attempt to acquire a new language about every ten years). Thank you, thank you!

Hah this is completely opposite to my experience. CI is a scam. Kids don't learn that way. The best language learning methods were discovered thousands of years ago. They are very slow, boring and difficult, and need practice but they work.

I think I've found a hybrid approach that's between this and language learning, which works for me. Basically it involves starting out by studying the language tradionally, especially trying to build up a lexicon of vocab. As you study, slowly phase in media in the language. Do things like watch videos, read books, watch movies, etc. in the language. You wanna target media which includes enough words you don't know, but you still are able to understand. If possible, visit or live in the country you're trying to learn the language for. By studying it at first, you're essentially giving yourself the tools to pick up a language by listening and engaging with it. I've done this successfully with German, and currently trying it with Swedish. It seems similar to this, but a lot more pratical for the average person.

You can practice as a beginner. Of course you much hear words before you say them, but you can start out at a beginner level by just saying a couple words at a time, and then after you learn more, then you start to say more. It just more little by little.

I can confirm this for myself, although I do not know if it applies to every adult. I would NOT talk a word during almost a year when I was put in another school with another language at 15. After a year I could speak perfectly well. Same when we moved again, different country and different language. I would just interact with others and not say a word until after a year I would be able to speak just fine. I learned 2 other languages on top of these 3 in school and it was a disaster and still is. Now, at 62, I am trying russian, a completely different level I must say, but I do not follow all the advice that one should speak right from the beginning. To me it is just logical that I first need to understand enough vocabulary in order to be able to understand conversations and simple books, from that point on, I can build my vocabulary further, and after hearing the language for a long time, I am sure that I will become able to speak. I really do not have the impression that my learning ability has declined, although of course, adult life sucks most energy away, unfortunately.

Can I watch TV in another language, or and supplement that with radio and music?

My only question is that if an adult has already started speaking or thinking about the language. Is it still possible to go back and just absorb more in order to become more native sounding ?

Anyway trying to learn 1. 100 words 2. all the grammar 3. a lot of new words + listening + reading In this case you can start speaking and understanding really fast. But if you say this can brake language... Idk actually, there were no studies provided, and many people actually learn to speak from the beninging.

I would like to point out that the word 'unique' means one-of-a-kind. Therefore, something cannot be MOST unique or VERY unique, only unique. It's like being pregnant; either you are or you aren't.

In my opinion, If we just wait and immerse ourselves like a kid, It would take so long time to speak in the target language. Kids do not speak a single word until the age one because their verbal ability does not ready to produce a single word until this age but Adults don't need to wait to imitate or simulate speaking for 1 year. That is why we have to find balance between input and output. According to me, the best way for adults to learn any foreing language is taking free or paid course until at least B1 level due to learn grammatical rules to understand the language easier and writing correctly, also imitating whatever they hear and exposing themselves a lot of input as verbal or visual at the same time. My native language is Turkish and my second language is English. I took English course until C1 level but you know that taking class until C1 level doesn't represent you are same level at the 4 parts of language as writing, speakng, reading and listening. That is why I also try to improve myself especially on the listening and speaking. For adult language learning, the keys are getting lots of input and repeating over and over in my opinion. Have a good luck for everyone who wants to get better level in their target language.

The phrase most unique is grammatically incorrect. Something is either unique or not unique.

I’m a part of a language learning club that implements everything that is said on this video, it’s called Hippo Family Club and even though it started by the hunch of a Japanese guy, it has become validated by the research of MIT Dr Suzanne Flinn, we typically see each other every week and we sign and dance in multiple languages and listen and act already existing stories in different languages as well. Being there has changed the way I see language and language acquisition, it has also sped up my learning of Japanese, though I probably still speak like a baby 😅

You do not use the term most unique in English

"How we learn languages is more important than when." 🧡

Gouin approach to foreign language learning.

This is so cool. It has revived my hope to learn a new language or two.

I learned English (at the C1 level) by purely just watching KZbin videos as a young kid. As soon as school started, both teachers and my parents were surprised that I could speak and write a language so fluently and easily. I did the same with Spanish too. Watch relatable videos in topics that interest you. The understanding will just come.

So Comprehensible Input basically, right? While I find Krashen personally distasteful (he injects politics into everything) I firmly believe his theories of language acquisition are brilliant. I followed his advice and learned Russian without a text book. Or one might say, I learned Russian precisely because I didn’t use a text book.

For 6 years I have struggled to learn Spanish. I have asked everyone I could 'how did you learn this?'. No one could answer my question to my satisfaction so I failed and quit all the time. Then I got re-energized to find an answer and it has led me here and to Dreaming Spanish who use these techniques. I feel so inspired that I can get this language now. WOW.

I VERY much doubt this. Look at baby learning their native tongue. By six their skills are rudimentary. If the adult started disciplined learning of a foreign language the day the baby was born, the adult would be FAR more fluent than the six year old would. This is just another BS hypothesis unsubstantiated by any real research. Nonsense. When I traveled in India for 15 months I DID NOT learn Hindi just by hanging around like a rock passively listening. I STUDIED and would not have learned NOTHING without that study. Again, NONSENSE.

I practice english from 1 week (yt movies on yt). The english from this movie is very weird. I listened yesterday 20 minutes ebook of very hard, fast speaking south london accent and i understanded almost everything. From this movie i understanded almost nothing. I don't know why but this movie i'snt understandble for me. The passing beetwen the words and some sentences are horrible to listen for me.

That's exactly my passive learning experience. As a child, I used to listen a lot of exotic conversation in my grandmom's house. But I didn't speak a lot since I tend to use my father language. So, I gain the ability to understand almost everything they say altho I can't speak out. Later as an adult, I restudied the language and become able to speak it fluently without much effort

Loved it!!! Thank you :)

I can't say "sorry, but..." - it just sounds like a little bullshit to me. Some doubtful and unproven claims with general statistic biases. It's proven fact that you must start to speak as soon as possible - and do it non-stop while your educational process proceeding. How do you think government teaches their military and diplomatic consultants?

When I learned Spanish I resisted my teachers who wanted me to start speaking before I was ready. And I was right, as I said at the time, when I'm ready I will speak. And Idid. Now I am learning Hebrew and when I'm investigating schools they always want me to start speaking right away. So I'm having to teach myself but it's hard because Hebrew has a different alphabet and it's very confusing, it's very hard but I'm plugging away. I want to go to school in Israel but I don't want to arrive there without any base.

So is it a good thing that I'm too shy to even try to speak any Japanese at all? No one to speak it to, too shy to meet anyone to speak the language with. I hope; subconsciously learning hiragana and katakana through slow memorization (gotten to the point I can read them in a table and sort of tell whats what like the no character, and I can type my name in katakana in the pokemon games I have in Japanese) I'm curious about learning dialects tho and hope that in and of itself is rude. I just watch anime, read music, try to make sense of the characters without study because twitter has got me feeling like I shouldn't learn Japanese. I've noticed I can think in very childish rudimentary Japanese. It's just bits and pieces but I hope I'm making some progress despite not studying much at all. I still feel however; like I'm doing it wrong somehow. Just going at my own pace while interacting with Japanese media sometimes. Music, anime, games entirely in the language that I can't read. Just trying to soak it all in and not think about it as learning. I hope its working and I'm learning something regardless of how small it is. And hope I'm not doing it wrong... Very interesting video and ideas~~!!

My whole life changed after I started using Dreaming Spanish to learn Spanish. I realized I had done similar things in order to learn English, now I'm learning German by watching tv shows and I'm also producing comprehensible input content in my native language, which is Portuguese.

How long did it take the participants to acquire a level of proficiency?

Children grow up in a family. That family are native speakers. The child is surrounded by native speakers at home and in the world. And those native speakers are constantly feeding the child input and when the child's muscleture can form sounds, the surrounding native speakers constantly help the child with the language acquisition. All of this is to say, learning like a child as an adult would require that adult to be living in a society whose main language is the one being acquired and that adult learner needs a team around them 24-7. So, I guess it's doable but it would be an extremely expensive experiment.

I did no direct study of the language when I first stayed in Thailand. I picked up a lot by being "fully immersed". I lived with a Thai family, and trained at a boxing camp where nobody could speak more than a few words of English. I had to rely on facial expressions and body language a lot to communicate. Entertainment was usually watching TV with the family. After a few months, I could understand the general plot and follow along, though I barely spoke the language. Paying close attention to the physical action helped me understand there. I've met many people who speak Thai fluently, yet they still act foreign. They probably learned in a classroom, so lack in cultural sensitivity.

Amazing video, unfortunately you don't post anymore, you can change your life, still can before the vid stops being viral, don't waste this opportunity

I had a friend that went through this program years ago. He learned almost nothing, and ended up quitting the program after getting frustrated.

What is the place and role of grammar study, in your opinion?

I was thinking about this method a lot when I realized I learned English so easily as a Czech. I learned more when I consumed content in English which was fun and interesting to me than when I have to learn about words I almost never use in any conversation. I see the difference between me who almost every day watch English videos and my friend who barely know how to say a sentence in English. Now I applies this on my Spanish. (I still struggle with German because I don't want to learn it, but my school forces me to do so. I should deal with it my some way.)

Most Unique??L 😮😢😢😢 Unique is unique. Why would I watch when you make this most basic English error??

What do I do if I tried to speak the language I'm learning?
