Best Tips to Learn Languages from Polyglots

[@Tiffany-ov2jf]

POINTS FROM VIDEO:- 1. Immerse urself in the language (spend as much time u can with the language, you'll make ways to get the language into ur system). 2. Music, films, podcasts, newspapers-- enjoyable activities. 3. U can imbibe the grammar naturally without formally pruning over the grammar 4. Speak with native speakers 5. Short 15 min ritual as well-- spending 10 mins to really study it everyday, before sleep, right after waking up is also effective. fun fact; language learning influences ur persona-identity when u speak it differently in ur own pitch and tone! This was such a fun video, thank you Ling!

Bro said English is obsolete 😂 my guy, English is the basis for everything! You won’t go far without it.

[@juanrc646]

You don't understand the meaning of it due to your ignorance. You only see the surface.

[@Tepes1448]

@@juanrc646 tell me then my friend, enlighten me about the true meaning of “Obsolete”.

[@David.Eng.]

And they are speaking English in the video😂

[@completelyunderstood]

@@Tepes1448 He was a bit rude about it but he does make a good point. The sentence "English is obsolete" is a straight up lie, but it's what he says after that that brings it back to reality. He says essentially when travelling people look at you different if you actually make the effort to speak their language. I think what he meant by the "obsolete" line was that in the past it was more difficult to learn 1 foreign language let alone many, but now many of those barriers are broken down. So *just* knowing english is what he's calling obsolete. It's conjecture but I don't think he's suggesting that the "proliferation of english" has met its end.

@@completelyunderstood yes i have the same opinion. Trying to understand the local population of the country you plan to visit show curiosity and respect about said country. But I don’t see English not being the common language of all countries, as you said, that phrase was a lie :)

8:17 the Japanese guy’s story is actually very interesting, we can see how different Japanese and American perspectives in term of time 😂

[@LingLearnLanguages]

Yeah, he did nothing wrong to follow the exact instruction though, waiting for 1 second. 😆

Technically, a lot of that info that was said in the video is incorrect, and Thailand isn’t even close to the best country ever, while ppl are the exact opposite of nicest or chillest or any other compłiments, and Thai is not a logical language at all, whereas English is one of the most logical languages ever created with perfect letter combinations (good letter combinations are combinations of letters that go well 2gether and that were not combined at random and that follow very logical patterns) and pretty word endings and great pronunciation rules that make English words look and sound awesome and cool and professional etc, plus English is the easiest language ever created, whereas Thai is a category 7 language that isn’t easy to read and that doesn’t sound good because it doesn’t have good letter combinations, just as most other languages that exist, and only about one hundred languages are pretty, which should be learnt and spoken, while the languages that aren’t pretty shouldn’t be learnt or spoken - the best countries ever are the first wørld countries aka the Germanic countries, with Iceland and Norway and Denmark and The Faroe Islands and Netherlands being the best countries ever that also have five of the prettiest languages ever created that are as pretty as English, and, the prettiest languages ever created are Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Faroese / English / Dutch / Norwegian / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish, so I highly recommend learning them 2gether at the same time!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I would highly recommend learning the prettiest languages ever created Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Faroese / English / Dutch / Norwegian / Danish / Welsh / Breton / Cornish 2gether as they are way too pretty not to know! Re learning methods, I recommend using the spaced repetition method and watching as many vocab videos as one can find at least thirty times over a period of two or three years and many videos on grammar etc multiple times on different days, and also memorizing many lyrics and analyzing / translating each new word that one doesn’t know yet, and always watching every video or movie with subtitles in the target languages, and typing a lot of sentences and words in the target languages to develop a muscle memory, and also, learning all the prettiest languages at the same time as it saves many years and is the most fun way to learn languages! I recommend learning at least thirty thousand base words in the prettiest languages ever created and at least ten thousand to fifteen thousand base words in the other pretty languages!

Some fun sentences / words in the heavenly languages Norse / Gothic / Icelandic / Dutch are... Ek heiti Freyja ok ek em at læra Norrænu því ek elski (elska) hana! (Norse) Hann ǫrninn vissi ekki hvaðan kemr Sólin... (Norse) Ek veit alt er þú veizt ekki! (Norse) Ég hef talað Ensku síðan þegar ég vas (var) tveggja eða triggja ára! En ég get líka talað Hollensku og Norsku og Spænsku og FornNorrænu! Ég get talað Íslensku reiprennandi og ég em (er) ekki með neina hreim! Ef ég gæti lært annað mál, hvað væri það? Það væri auðvitað Danska! Ég em (er) að hugsa að það er mikilvægt að læra að minnsta kosti eitt erlent tungumál, eða flest fallegu tungumálin! Svo ég valdi Íslensku og ég héld áfram að læra hana... Ég læri það í samhengi... (Icelandic) Hvíslaðu að svaninum! En ertu frá hinum hlutanum? Þegar ég segi Ísland, hvað er það fyrsta sem dettur þér í (hug) hugi? Als ik Ijsland zeg, wat is het eerste wat naar boven komt bij jou? (Dutch) Some of the prettiest words in Gothic are namo, þein, hunds, þatist, ik, weis, eis, qen, driusaima, wairþan, ains, sinteina, nist, imma, twais, eisarn, swikn, uhteigo, brunna, faíraþro etc! (The words in these heavenly languages are just so pretty and so poetic and so cool, they are true works of art, so I definitely wish I had learnt them in childhood, and I highly recommend learning them all together, as they are way too pretty not to know and so magical, as pretty as Danish and English and Norwegian and Faroese and Welsh and Breton and Cornish and Forn Svenska!)

I'm going to be first to mention that language simp is in the video! a God amongst men!

[@Spinner773]

I want to learn Portuguese, French, Spanish, Italian, Scottish Gaelic and Tagolog. When you start getting interested in different languages it can be overwhelming and frustrating how many you want to learn. Right now I am focusing on Portuguese though. But i dont want to underestimate myself, i want to believe i can speak several languages.

Nobody is these video talk about the language that I want to learn 😢 not even the people who lives in this country want to learn this not common language 😕

[@kiranroberts]

BS. I don’t believe for a second that all of these people are natively fluent in 9+ languages. They may be able to have basic conversations on the street, but to call yourself fluent is ridiculous.

[@Caine61]

Agreed. I think people really exaggerate their definition of what it is to be "fluent" nowadays.

[@Cameron.Hubberstey]

No one's claiming to be natively fluent in all of them. (also I study both Spanish and Italian in university, and I must reach C1 level in both by the end of my degree)
