A little tip for those who dont know anyone who can speak thelanguage they're learning: Try drawing a conversation between two people and putting phrases in whatever language you're learning. Or if you arent really that good at drawing, you can write down just a simple story, ex: Alexa was walking down the street when she saw her friend, Morris. She came up to him and said "Hi", Morris smiled and greeted her back. I hope this helps c:

Fun fact: I natively speak English but I learned the word “eventually” when I was eight just by hearing it’s context. This is your reminder to learn a language and grasp some things by context!

[@lonelyfrog5499]

In my native language I know the word, but when I was 16 my mother told me this is not how we say it. Because in my 16 years I never saw it on a paper or I never write it down and ppl said it fast and rarely, I never assumed I was wrong. She laughed a ton after I misspoke the word. It is because I had a beef w/ another word when I was young and mother said x word (I had a beef with) root word's I use doesn't exist(when we take apart a word it's "root" or 1st part of the word came from an another word, what is already existing), so when I heard the gossip word in my language I assumed it's word root has to be an already existing word (bear what I thought to be the "root") , boy I was wrong. I have no idea what it's mean if I take apart the gossip word) To be fair gossip is not to accurate for it, but I couldn't find a better one. So till this day I say it purposely wrong, because I like it when a bear talks to me. 😅

Number 3 was the one I relied on the most as a beginner. Watching videos, listening to music, etc.. make you get familiar with the language. I watched a lot of anime before I started learning Japanese. After a year I started to study, it was so easy to learn, and I even recognised some words and phrases from anime. I got to know what’s formal and what’s informal through studying. What’s used and what’s hardly used, and when to use. And cause I kept mimicking the language when watching anime and listening to music (cause I was like 15) it wasn’t that hard to speak it When I tried Korean, even though ppl said the alphabet was way easy, I found it extremely hard. Cause I wasn’t familiar with Korean like I was with Japanese

Don't watch the subs in your native language, put it for example Swedish dub with Swedish subs. It's proven that having your language in subs has 0% in proven compared to 7-17% improvement from having their language in subs.

[@nalanazi9866]

Taokuoh are you sure about this information? because i, myself find that pretty hard to follow what they’re saying without a subs i can stand to.. but if it’s that affective i would give it a shot :)

[@taokuoh6805]

@@nalanazi9866 Yeah there's a few studies on it, I can try and find the links but basically if you read your language (English) with say a Korean dub. You won't take in anything Korean because you aren't listening to the language, your brain is focusing too much on your own language that the brain is comfortable with. Where as if you read Korean and have a Korean dub, you hear how the words are pronounced, and you understand how to write or spell the characters. I recommend to spend a few weeks or so on a platform like DuoLingo just to pick up a few words in a language you wish to learn. Once you know a few, you begin to recognise the sound and characters on screen, from my personal experience I think using something like DuoLingo and then watching a Korean dub/sub film or tv show. I was able to recognise some of the words, even though I still lacked the vocabulary, I was pleased to see that I could actually recognise a few words. It's importance of dub/subs with the language is so it sticks in your brain, without having to spend too much time working out what has just been said. :)

[@sarahwilliams911]

As someone who grew up speaking English and now is fluent in french as well, I think the biggest tip I can give you is surround yourself with as much of that language as possible. Because everyone around me was speaking English, I tried to listen to French music, watch French shows (you’d be surprised at how soon you won’t need the subtitles), watch French KZbin, read French books, etc. Once you can understand the language you can work on pronunciation and just kind of learn to speak it. I take French in school still because although I can speak it in not too good with spelling and everything like that.

Me: Korean fonts. More cuter than Japanese and sometimes western and other Asian rather than CJK region fonts. Very hard to search without enough knowledge about Korean language.

[@crackoraptor]

[@FrankKimono744]

As for communication skills I learn whole sentences saying them aloud. 5 days - 300 repetitions per day at least. Later I don't need to translate. I know the meaning of words straight away like in my native language. And also I remember the meaning longer than by learning separate words. This method is called: chunking. It was a real game changer in my learning process in English and other languages.😊

[@FrankKimono744]

Below some details what I do::: I try to repeat a sentence until I can say it without hesitation or mistakes. During practice I say it realy slow at the beginning. Later alternating speed either extremely fast or slow. I don't have any set amount of reps. Just drilling until being confident. Sometimes if I have difficulties I repeat something continuously for example for 30 minutes streight. Recently I stopped counting. Just measuring time. Let's say 5 minutes gives you 100 reps. So repeat something 10-15 minutes. I try to choose short sentences 4-5 words. Or just practicing separate single words, pairs of words, 3 words together. Long sentences are very time consuming and difficult to repeat. From experience I noticed that it usually takes 5 days or more to remember something. Recently I stopped making notes just to focus on practicing. I don't use any SRS system like Anki. Only using online pons de dictionary (as I currently learn German) and bookmark some words. It is chaotic learning at the moment. I don't have any plan. Just watching videos repeatedly, reading comments and choosing some sentences, words. So videos show me what I should revise and what I don't remember. I mix practicing very old sentences and completely new ones. No particular strict rule. You can also repeat in your mind. Doesn't have to be aloud if you cannot. Please check similair method: sentence mining. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oaXOeZ2ClLWAmZY

[@jingmenglage8579]

I’m learning mandarin!! ITS SO HARDDD! Thank you for the tips!! (I’ve been scrolling down the comments, some people are taking a bit too far with calling people koreaboos. Koreaboos are people who think that there is nothing wrong korea and that everyone in Korea looks and acts like their favorite idol. Learning Korean to try and understand what their idol is saying or trying to understand what people in dramas are saying isn’t being a koreaboo. Also calling people cancerous is just plain wrong. Never should someone compare another to something as Awful as cancer. One more thing, how is learning things to try to understand what the people they watch ( their idols or whatever tv show they watch) not a legitimate reason to learn the language. The only difference is the way that they were introduced to the language. I think that it’s good to learn a language to understand their favorite idol or whatever. If you actually read all of this... thank you. If you disagree with anything that I have stated, please respectfully disagree and not be rude.

[@harmonysr991]

Jingmeng Lage thank you, I want to learn Korean because I found interest in the country, and because I want to understand what my favourite idols are saying, but people are putting a barrier up and they're saying that kpop and kdramas aren't good enough reasons to learn Korean, I find it quite offensive even though it's everyone's personal opinions. As you said it's just the way that we were introduced to the Korean culture. So there shouldn't be a problem with learning because of those reasons.

[@kawaiiprincess3144]

[@geneller4322]

Jingmeng Lage omgg exactly like I get it some of them might be koreaboos or just really young people trying to find what they like people just go offf crazily like wtf even if they are koreaboos they’re still human they should learn the hard way by realizing that whatever they thought about korea was wrong even though everyone is trying to educate them it’s something they should learn on there own

Besides,I totally agree with you about “find a buddy “ tip. It’s a great way to improve the level of language and to become fairly fluent in it. Recently, I’ve tried to find some foreign friends and two days ago I did. I’ve found a girl who lives in my city. And she is from USA, I think it’s great! Because I can teach her and she can do the same. Thank you for the tips! You definitely did not waste your time!

This is actually a really useful video. I learned French mainly by doing these things! Listening to music is a great tip. I listened to a lot of Indila’s music in French. Also becoming a fan of someone who speaks that language is a huge motivator so you can listen to interviews with that person... it really helped me. For example I’m a massive Loïc Nottet fan, he’s Belgian and although he speaks English fluently, his first language is French so listening to interviews with him in French after I had a basic grasp of vocabulary really helped.

TIPS FOR LEARNING A NEW LANGUAGE - my personal notes Get a notebook devoted to that language - Everything you're learning, journal entries, whatever. Express it only in that language! This might be difficult at first because there'll be words that you find you can't express in that language. This is a great time to open up the dictionary or google translate to learn the new vocabulary for the words you wanna express. Listen to music in said language - It's a little hard sometimes because you probably won't understand most of it. Read the lyrics as you listen to the song and translate any unknown words. Keep anything that speaks to you! Watch tv shows/movies - This is great for verbal learning, pronounciaton, intonation, etc. This is also great because you'll find common phrases or words used in daily vocabulary. Read books - Specifically children books. As you build your confidence, you can progress to higher levels. Get a translated version of something you're already familiar with, so there's no confusion over context and storylines and you can just focus on the language. Apps / Extra Resources - There's a ton of free apps you can use to learn languages. Duolingo is great for vocabulary, but try to find different apps that help cover grammar, sentence structure, comprehension, etc. There's Drops, Clozemaster, HelloTalk, iTalki, Anki, HiNative, etc. Find a language buddy! - Find a language buddy you can speak to in your target language. Please don't worry about messing it up, the whole goal of this is to *make* mistakes, not avoid them! Make a bunch of awful mistakes, learn from them, and become more proficient in your target language. Don't focus on yourself; instead focus on the other person and how *they're* speaking and how you can effectively communicate with them to reach a shared goal. After all, communicating with others is the whole point of learning a new language.

[@commoncola]

Thank you for this! If you don't mind, I'd like to add one more app to the list;. It's called Lingbe and it's an app that will throw you into a phone conversation with a native speaker of your target language

Oh hi Leonie! Your video on learning a new language offers fantastic tips for anyone who wants to embark on a language learning journey from the comfort of their own home. I love how practical and accessible your suggestions are! The use of a dedicated notebook is a great way to stay organised and track progress, while the music and subtitled films make language learning fun and immersive. Personally, I've found that reading children's books is an excellent way to start with basic vocabulary and sentence structure. It's a good idea to follow social media personalities who speak the language you're learning, so you can see how the language is used in an authentic way. Furthermore, free language learning apps and a language buddy for practice and motivation are invaluable resources. Your tips really connect with my own language learning experience. The integration of these strategies into my routine has made the learning process more enjoyable and effective. Thank you for sharing these helpful tips! I'm excited to apply them to my own language learning journey and see the progress.
