i was confused, is he english speaker or french instead?

[@shamicentertainment1262]

@@comptegoogle5071 Yeah I guess but I struggle to understand other english speakers at times because they slur their words, talk to quiet or for other reasons. Theres a balance between completely getting rid of your accent, and having such a strong accent no one can understand you. But you are right, the french do have a particular strong accent

[@Sourena291]

what I've experienced so far as a learner is that the most important criterion in learning a language is continuity. Actually, learning a language depends on many different factors like age, intelligence, will, goal, and many other factors. and I believe is not achievable in just one year. of course, you mentioned that fluency meanings differ from one to another and it's really true. this is a process that needs steadiness and a good method of learning. "slow and steady wins the race".

14.00 Repetition is boring and some people think that will take so much time to master a decent level of language for speaking, at least daily usage. But, I am so glad that I've been more than a year learning French with Duo, accomplishing level A1 and working on A2 level. Now, I am taking course in Udemy starting from 0 and it makes me easier to follow the lesson, even better! Now, I am pursuing my B1 Level for this year in Duo, and hopefully finishing B1 level from Udemy course. And, I am gong to take conversation class next year to get myself comfortable with speaking in French! InsyaAllah

Hi there, excited for your product. I've signed up for your wait-list. I'm pretty experienced with audio SRS systems having spent many hours on Pimsleur and glossika, as well as non-SRS audio sources like language transfer and FSI. Happy to give feedback when the tool launches.

[@loistalagrand]

Do you have any suggestions to make based on your observations with Pimsleur or Glossika?

[@chrisdennis6084]

@@loistalagrand It depends on the goals of your program, but I think one way to stand out would be to focus more on vocab (like you mentioned in your video) and combine that with a glossika-type mass sentences SRS. An interesting way to implement this might be a set of 4-5 cards where the first card is just the definition, i.e. "to eat" with the response being "comer." Then the following sentences of the set could combine that vocabulary term with grammar points, i.e. "He ate the cake" followed by "El comió el pastel," "he is eating breakfast" "El esta comiendo desayuno," etc. Customizability is also huge and is the reason Anki is still the king of SRS programs (I've also put probably thousands of hours into Anki, just not for language acquisition purposes). I almost dropped Glossika on the first day I had it because you can absolutely no control over the SRS algorithm.

[@f.w.m.1759]

Thank you for this informative video, Loïs. As a French learner myself, I would love to have this level of fluency one day. Un vrai défi ! But besides your impressive English, the info you gave was really helpful. I agree that a lot of online language learners make the process seem easy; however, they don't always show the grueling process of listening non-stop to TL content and the time it takes to learn new vocabulary. Do you have any experience with Glossika? I recently subscribed to it for C1 French and some beginning Russian. I lost my motivation to continue with Anki and wanted an all-in-one audio + sentence structure, which Glossika seems to provide. Lastly, as a native English speaker (American English), I just wanted to help out and say that when it comes to the word "motivation" -- think of the first "o" as the sound of "eau" rather than "à". Your English is absolutely amazing and I'm about to binge-watch your other videos! Great info. Merci beaucoup. About to join the waitlist for Fluent Falcon.

[@loistalagrand]

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I actually have a lot of experience with Glossika. I was in a similar situation where I was getting burned out with Anki, and I was looking to make the switch to something audio-based. I used Glossika for a while, but there were a few things I think could use some improvement. Being a software developer, I decided to develop my own software (the base for Fluent Falcon, which I'm polishing right now). However, for people who aren't programmers, Glossika is great. It can get extremely repetitive, though. The Glossika algorithm makes you hear the same sentence countless times in the first few days of learning it (compared to Anki for instance).

[@f.w.m.1759]

@@loistalagrand Yes, Glossika seems so repetitive so far! It's been just over a week and it's already bothering me, which is a shame for the price. Thanks so much for the reply. Looking forward to trying out Fluent Falcon!

[@squidpoequo7747]

Question: when you say watch without subtitles, do you mean turn off native language subtitles or turn off all subtitles, even in target language? Cuz in Japanese, I feel like it’s wasted to turn off Japanese subtitles when learning since it simultaneously lets you associate meanings to the kanji and also because of how contextual the language is (to the point that most Japanese TV utilizes hard coded subtitles with effects and for emphasis.). At the very least it helps me parse words and understand context before then trying it without.

[@Otome_chan311]

If you're wanting to test fluency, subtitles off. If you're learning, subtitles on in the language you're learning should be fine. Though you should turn them off at some point because using subtitles is a crutch. You need to be able to hear and understand without seeing the subs.

[@evelynrsp]

I study English every single day, because my studies of English doesn't depend of my motivation, I just include in my daily routine. It's suck sometimes, but I naturally wake up, turn on my laptop and starting study. And sorry for my English, I'm not advanced yet, but I'm working on it.

İ havent opened a book yet other than the Quran, that i almost understand all words of. Dont aak how i learned. İt was so easy learn MSA i kept on learning so fast. And i have tons of good cartoons with subtitles, only a matter of time before i become good. İ have lists of vocaboulary, i gathered books to study. İ see arabs all the time i can practice on and the teachers here are very kind. İ also have arabic keyboard, i even know how to write in classic arabic only have to press the dot. Writing is very important in Arabic, or nowadays typing.. İ need to think in arabic not in latin. Then im somewhere.

@loistalagrand because it's really hard to understand movies. Various topics might pop up, of which you don't have a clue. I think that's being able to watch movie in your target language and understand it completely is the hardest boss to kill. Because many think they understand but in fact they are only guessing based on visuals of the movies like progression of the plot, gestures, and all that.

I’m currently learning English, and frankly, I’ve been learning it my whole life and I am still on the B1 level, I understand almost everything I hear because I watch different English videos every single day (the reason for this is also that I am studying software development and therefore everything I watch and read is in English). But I am really bad at speaking and the problem is that I have NObody to speak with in English. No native speakers. No people who at least know how to speak English as I do. And you know, I almost gave up learning it cause I have some assumptions that I will never be able to speak English fluently until I live in an English-speaking country. That's really frustrating.

The easiest to learn was english, i cant talk english like a pro but writing and reading was sufficient

[@GenkoKenja]

"6,000 words if you actually understand a movie" that's just very subjective and depends on genre and also the language. For example, in a language based on the latin alphabet like Spanish or English, it is mainly vocab based on genre. If you watch a sci-fi film, just knowing 6k common words will mean you probably are having a hard time understanding sci-fi related vocab. Throw in a more difficult language like Japanese and now you have a very versatile language which can be both a blessing and a curse, like 10 different words that all mean the same thing but are used in completely different contexts.... Even knowing the most common words will not get you watching a movie comfortably. I know close to 30k words in Japanese and am just know getting comfortable watching a movie or show mostly without pausing (but usually have jsubs on) . This may also be a good time to mention, as I'm sure you know, there is a difference between active vocab and passive vocab. I know 30k words and have almost no issue understanding the language....but when it comes to speaking it I am basically a toddler, mainly because I only focused on input and close to no output....so I would say I can use less than 1k words in conversation. Understanding and knowing how to use it are 2 different things ;) Although, while most learners of a language seem to have the mistaken idea that having an accent is a bad thing and that they should always strive to "sound" like a native, I actually think the opposite: people should embrace their accent. Everyone has an accent, that's unavoidable. If you learn American English, you think you may not have an accent, but listen to someone from New York, Texas, or Alabama...they all sound very different. Not to mention if you compare English from different countries like the UK or Australia.

I suggest first learning the Korean alphabet "Hangul/Hangeul" and how to pronounce the sounds associated to each letter. Then if you want to use a traditional approach, use Billy's 3 books: the "Korean made Simple" series. If you want a more input-based approach, use Korean grammar in use (KGIU) beginner and watch the KZbin channel "learn Korean in Korean" If you like watching Korean KZbin videos or dramas, continue watching them and turn off native language subtitles and turn on Korean ones when you are ready to begin input. I recommend "migaku" or "kimchi reader" to look up vocabulary from subtitles.

Hello

It's so easy. You may acquire language in max 6 months by living English speaking country.

[@loistalagrand]

It's not so easy.

When you say, we need at least 6,000 words my question is how did you measured the exact quantity of words?

Why would you announce a product 6 months before it's available

There have been some setbacks, but I'm hoping to release it soon!

[@H-DA]

​@@loistalagrandIs there any information on the web, what your program/app(?) will be like? There is just the signIn link and I'm not gonna use that before I have some clue what it will be like. I use flashcards (the old fashiond ones out of paper) to learn russian for some weeks. I have very little knowledge about the apps that are out there, just tried dualingo, babble and mosalingua and hate all of it. Can't stand gamification and because of the cyrillic alphabet, I really need to write words down in order to memorize. I struggle to write German (nativ) and English already. Need to get it better this time. 😂 But I really need to improve my pronunciation and listen more to words and sentences. So would there still be any usage for me? Does it even support russian?

[@loistalagrand]

@@H-DA Thanks for your interest! I will release more information about the app soon.

Peut-on apprendre deux langues simultanément ?

[@loistalagrand]

Oui, mais à moins d'avoir beaucoup de temps, je ne pense pas que ce soit idéal.

[@misscamay]

Used both Pimsleur and Rocket for Latin American Spanish…I prefer Rocket though Pimsleur is excellent as well but painfully boring to death

[@loistalagrand]

What did you like about Rocket Spanish? Did you finish it?

[@elmo319]

How long does a child take to learn a language without a primary language or fully developed brain to start with? Within that context I think a year is possible but it depends on the person and amount of study time. I would go further to say that it depends on the environment, being around target language speakers really helps. Happy learning 😉

[@GeorgeDeCarlo]

I have been commenting on many polyglot and language sites about the fact that all known language programs and classes at all schools fail. After 13 years of failure to become basically conversationally fluent in Tagalog and during that time spending several hundred hours searching for methods, I realized the truth. Think about it, any exam with less than 60% success is a failure. Imagine classes failing up to 60% continually. No language program or classes achieve greater than 60% basic fluency. Why? Something has been wrong for a long time. I contend no program or classes even get to 5%. Learners or acquirers drop out due to hopeless failure. Very short-term tests give a false impression of accomplishment since the ultimate goal fails. Question all programs and classes. Any rationalizations are hiding failure. The polyglots had better all get together and figure out what has been and is wrong. If any other subject had such failure an immediate fix would be attempted. Not so with languages. It just continues as it has for over a hundred years never achieving over 60% much less 5% for all those attempting basic fluency.

Great video, thank you. How much will your Fluent Falcon tool cost? I have access to Pimsleur audio books free at my local library which has been awesome. Up to level 1 chapter 4 and I’m already struggling a bit. The add on words to add more detail like but, yet and good or bad I still get mixed up.

[@loistalagrand]

I haven't thought about the cost yet. I think I'll do a one-time payment kind of thing instead of having a subscription.

[@vishalthapa9348]

how many hours need to listen English to become fluent? Is it possible to be fluent in English by only listening English, without writing ,reading n speaking.

[@loistalagrand]

It depends on a lot of factors, but you're going to need thousands of hours. I don't know anyone who learned English without writing, reading or speaking. However, it is possible to learn English by focusing heavily on listening.

[@tatianarusmade336]

It says that English need 600 -700 hours of learning to get fluency. So learning it every day for 2 -3 hours will be enough.

[@marcelo4343]

On English: "I think it's very difficult. I believe one must train the various aspects of a language in order to master it fluently."

[@user-cs1ft8fp5q]

Also your pronunciation is very good. Only thing that was glaring out was the pronunciation for motivation. The o makes an “o” sound as opposed to an “ah” sound

[@loistalagrand]

Thanks, I've worked on that.

[@adrian78917]

[@PatientPerspective]

Id assume going to other countries and emerse yourself in the culture and slang of the environment would make one fluent

[@loistalagrand]

It definitely helps a lot, but it's not necessary.
