How to learn English vocabulary | The best way to remember new words

[@soledadearcoverde3223]

Christian, I listen to some teachers at you tube. All of them are very good teachers, but What I most like in your videos is the scientific way to explain the language. Thank you!

[@gianlucasoffredini2479]

Thank you very much Christian. There are many false friend in English for an Italian native speaker. Your explanation was great and very useful to me. But above all I want to thank you for what you said about Italy and the awful moment we are living nowadays. Thank you very much for your solidarity. I really like your way to teach and to explain concepts with smile. So I'm going to follow your new videos with pleasure. Have a nice day.

False friends forces you to get to know the origins of synonyms obviously! And you remember the meanings. Thank you for pointing this out so well! I can add that the italian word ”finta” obviously entered the swedish language via soccer. ”Avledande manöver”was hardly any competition!

[@fely1808]

I was very excited about this video !! I am going to apply this technique which is very fun and entertaining! Thanks!

[@luizantoniofranciscopinto8484]

Very good video. I'm from Brazil and I always try to relate the words in English with their roots, mainly latin. Tks.

[@vanessappp5672]

"Pretender" in Portuguese is "to intend" - a false friend too! Excellent video! More, more!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏

[@pagani29]

Do you speak Italian? I find it curious that the meaning of the word "morbid" in Portuguese is more like English than Italian. After all, Italian and Portuguese have the same root, but the number of English words with Latin roots is large.

[@peterfoxts]

@@pagani29 It comes from Latin morbus, in Italian has changed meaning through the centurie, in Frenche morbid eis like in English, we say morboso for morbis

[@vanessappp5672]

Hi Altamir! Mórbido - PORTUGUESE It's the same meaning that in English

[@vanessappp5672]

@@peterfoxts Hi Pietro. Mórbido - PORTUGUESE It's the same meaning that in English!

[@pagani29]

I found it interesting because Italian is the language closer to Latin than Portuguese or, mainly, English. But about the war. It was centuries of history; who knows?

Hey Cristian! I noticed so many false friends related to English and Franch eg: sensible, assume ...and here where I am living you see the avatar of the language daily I think is one of the best fields to study how people play with language and when it comes to express them selfs they've got difficulties to do it.

[@edwinjavierzaratehugo4426]

Great, I like this explanation. Hi from Ecuador, Latin Amrica

[@lima0359]

Hi Cristian, thank you very much for your invaluable effort. Let me tell you that here in Perú we use the jargon "finta" (feint??) when for example a football player pretends to go one way and then, with an acrobatic movement, takes another one deceiving the defender. I wish you feel better soon. Greetings from Lima.

[@causilvestrini7000]

I loved this class! Thanks 🤗

[@ariadnahaydeecastillosanch2854]

Christian I have been struggling with the prepositions at the end of questions or sentences , might be because prepositions are difficult to me and also I feel frustrated to talk about abstract topics in English. Thank you for all your videos because has enlighted me a lot.

[@joanzensillystuff2285]

Some of my favorite words are similar to "false friends" but related with pronuntation. Specially words that written equal or almost equal in Catalan, Spanish and English but the pronuntation is totally different in every language. Lately I fond of some words like: delicat-delicado-delicate pioner-pionero-pioneer carnivor-carnivoro-carnivorous. I find really beautiful how these words are pronouced in English. It fascinates me!

[@tadeuszbloki2971]

In Polish we have a word 'ewentualnie' which is so similar to 'eventually'. Every Polish native speaker is suprised when they find out these words have compleatly different meaning and even if they know it, they confuse them. Thank you and greetings!

[@private6886]

Be healthy.

[@hawky44]

I loved your vídeo. Just for the record: the word feint (and because - i suppose - of its sound in english) became "finta" in portuguese. Very much related to soccer games.

[@hawky44]

Or the verb in portuguese "driblar" (noun =drible) which is equal to "fintar".

[@mamymimma]

Morbido means soft in Italian, but we can also say " soffice" 😊 You're so sweet to invite people to Torino because it's suffering, thank you!😍

[@emankhleif2543]

[@민성일-h8d]

[@McCelt81]

There's definitely less confusion for Polish learners of English. I guess we find it harder (due to false friends) to learn Slovakian, but we're pretty good with English :) Thanks for the video!

[@abeurakadabeura]

This is a really interesting video and this is also how I approach language learning (Korean at the moment). Instead of trying to remember words, I learn the deeper meaning of each words as most Korean words have the hanja (traditional Chinese) definition. For example the word 수술 (su-sul = surgery) is from Chinese 手術 (shou shu). The first character means "hand" and the second character means "art/skill/technique". The art of the hand -> surgery By understanding the full meaning of the word 수술 su-sul, I can then more easily understand somehow related words, for example 수작업 su-jak-eob (being handmade). From there you can see that "jak" is from Chinese "作" which means "work/workshop". Words are interconnected and learning the etymology helps building a giant web of vocabulary.

[@oldeagle5942]

Hi, I'm reading "Etymologicon" at the moment and it's really amazing. I discovered for exemple the different meanings of peter (I never knew that!.) Fantastic, it's worth reading it.

[@injujuan8993]

Thanks for you suggestion. Sounds like a good read❤👍

[@Almaleksia]

Why when I lesten to you I can understand what you say, but when I talk whis my on-line teacher I can't understand anything?! You are amazing! Thank you!

[@patiperrobrazilienses3567]

Me Neither!

[@fabianogama39]

I usually learn words as I encounter them in a text I'm reading, listening or both, but when I do use lists of words I create stories using the words (or expressions) Im trying to learn, tell this storis out loud, wich is a good exercise, and keep twisting these stories in different ways as new words come in to the mix. Also I imagine a fictional character I'm talking to while telling these stories and they are always making me repetitive questions, which makes me repeat those words many many times until they sink in. I'll incorporate questions about how the words are formed and the relationships between words in different languages like in this video. The more conections we create the better we learn.

[@Angelok079]

Thank you very much

[@danielsabbath7435]

Hi Christian. The word morbid in portuguese also has the same meaning as in english. The strangest of all is that Portuguese as well as Italian and Spanish and French are also Latin languages. What I find a bit strange is that in Italian it should also have the same meaning because Italian was derived from the Latin spoken by the ancient Romans. Best Regards from Brazil.

[@gretabigoni7979]

He explained why, it's not like ALL our words stick to the original sense of latin meaning. If that was the case, my classmates and I would have always scored 10/10 during latin classes in highschool :P

[@DavidVardanyan]

Hi Christian! thanks for awesome video! could you please make a video how to find info for one particular world? I mean which web sites to look, how to find origins of the word... so non native speakers could learn the same way! thanks

[@philipohmes9395]

False Friends has another theory in language development...the Cognate. False and True Cognates of two or more related languages. German and English have thousands such words. Now with the word feint, when I first heard you say it, I was thinking of its homonym faint, which means to temporarily lose consciousness. For all of those synonyms that occur, to the rescue is my Thesaurus. About the only time I use this book, is when writing...poems, a report or even a chapter in a book or related concept paragraphs. I have a habit of using the same word more than once when writing sentences of a similar concept; to the rescue is a Thesaurus search for words that have a close enough meaning. That way when I write, the words to not become redundant. Sometimes though I will open a page in a dictionary or a Thesaurus and read a page to just learn something new about the English language and have my "ah ha" moment of I did not know that information. To sit there though and learn a list of words simply does not work very well with me no matter which language I am learning about.

In spanish for example Morbido/a is exctly the same meaning in Italian and English (Suave o morboso) but when it's reference to a person is completly different because "una persona morbida" is a person very very fat with serious problems of health

[@simone-zu7qh]

I'm Italian and I remember when we had English at school, learning the different meanings of false friends. For instance I hated the fact that "actually" doesn't mean "attualmente" , or that "eventually " doesn't equal to "eventualmente"... Ahaha Such a struggle!! But luckily my mind got used to it and now it's kind of automatic.

[@pagani29]

In Portuguese it's the same. But I studed Italian too and I remember the surprise when I learned the word "salire". There is the word "sair" in Portuguse, very similar, but with meaning different. In Portuguese "sair" is to exit and "salire" is "subir" .

[@mariliaferreira4932]

Really

[@inarticulado]

@@pagani29 It's amazing how the words "behave" so differently in languages so similar like Italian and Portuguese! About the "eventually", besides the difference between English and Portuguese, I see sometimes people using "eventualmente" as the same meaning as in English (off course by people who probably use English a lot, I guess). Anyway, all about competitions like Christian said...

[@almacarrara]

I'm Italian and I would like to say that in Italian the verb "pretendere" also has the same meaning of "pretend". It is a synonim of "fingere", to lie to be something you are not. The word "morbid" comes from the same Latin root "morbus" and in Italian "morbo" also is synonim of "malattia". And "morboso" is the correct translation of "morbid". Very similar words! Maybe both words are "true friends" and not "false friends". :-)
