Another reason for learning phrases instead of individual words: The usage of one word can be different in different language. For example, in English we say "on time", even if we know the word for "on" and for "time" in French, we can't say "sur temps", because it's "à l'heure", and Francophones can't use "at the hour" to represent "on time", because it's different.

[@Socratica]

Such an important point! We have better luck translating ideas, rather than words. How would you convey this idea, which requires several words, or sometimes even a whole sentence or two, into the target language. Thanks for your interesting comment!

[@OnumLCT]

In Chinese languages, four-characters can represent a whole story. That is to say, it would be even better if one learns the culture and if possible, the etymology as well. You are right, immersion is essential, is key, but choosing the right type of immersion I guess is also important. In order to truly understand the whole meaning of one language, one should also visit the country. This has a couple more advantages compared to the economical and convenient online immersion (especially for those distinct languages you mentioned earlier): 1. Problem solving and learning how to improvise with the language, since you remember your mistakes through authentic life experience and you will find it easier to remember a phrase or a word because you've subconsciously associated them with your previous mistakes; 2. Cultural understanding - For understanding why people say stuff like this or like that or why they have words that cannot be found in your native language (e.g. Ireland has been a pretty religious country, even the phrase in Irish for "hello" is religious, "Dia dhuit", which literally means "God be with you"); 3. It can be extremely rewarding because you realise how much people respect you for learning their languages, especially if the languages are obscure. Culture plays a critical role in a natural language and cannot be overlooked.

My Latin professor thought that Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and French were one language and English his second language and German, Swedish, Dutch, Norsk , Dansk his third language. What a nut job!

[@Socratica]

[@OnumLCT]

As a language professor they SHOULD know the differences between a dialect and a language!

[@superdave54811]

I have seen similarities with other languages, such as Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Latin. The same with Russian and Greek. Also similarities with Dutch and German. I see English derived from here and there too. But similarities is where it ends. He sounds to be a bit off.

He sounds like a nut job no doubt, but honestly whoever it was that interviewed him and hired him to be a fucking professor of linguistics is almost more worrisome. Goddamn

Few people know about a pragmatic, efficient way to learn a new language. Those who do, advance in learning steadily and according to their schedule. While most people find themselves learning a new language as a necessity, many others do it because it is fun. It feels more sophisticated to know more than one language. It can be highly beneficial in your life over the long run. However, it is not an easy task to learn a new language no matter whether it is for fun or out of necessity. You've probably seen friends or acquaintances talk about wanting to learn a foreign language, then enthusiastically purchasing products, books, and maybe even enrolling into a course or program, only to ultimately see the reality of the fact that they have failed in their pursuit of learning another language. According to The Guardian, the ICM survey, which questioned 1,001 young people aged 14-24 from across the UK in June this year, paints a picture of a generation perhaps surprisingly open to the prospect of language learning, but often deeply lacking in the confidence of their ability to put their language studies into practice. Three in ten who chose not to study a language at GCSE or A-level say language learning is challenging, with almost half of all those questioned regarding grammar as difficult to learn and 40% seeing memorizing vocabulary as hard work. The research had indicated that A-level languages are perceived as being harder than other subjects and their content is demotivating. Sitting down with a language textbook and trying to teach yourself a new language is not only boring, it takes an inordinate amount of time. It can take months to capture the basics of a particular language. Fluency comes far later. Often, we don’t have the luxury of spending months learning a language. For example, those people who are migrating or taking up a job abroad. However as an individual learner or with a tutor, the student can cut down the time it takes him/her to master the basics of a new language. There are methods that can be used to reduce the time it takes. Main Essentials of Learning a New Language - They distinguish three main essentials associated with learning a new language; namely the vocabulary, basic sentence elements / patterns, and grammar rules. Vocabulary - the most basic step towards learning a new language is to learn its words. Familiarity with the words will lead you to form sentences. Sentence Patterns and Elements - this has to do with how you ask and answer questions. Making coherent sentences is the way to make someone understand what you are saying. The ability will also help you understand what others are saying and how you might respond. Grammar Rules - Each language has certain rules that need to be followed. There is a special type of media developed for the first and second component - a bilingual graded book. Bilingual graded books are also called bilingual graded readers. They offer a parallel translation that allows the user to learn a new language in less time. With the translation on the same page, learners can effortlessly learn what any unfamiliar words mean. They can quickly pick up new vocabulary and phrases that are used over and over in texts of bilingual graded books. When they read a graded bilingual reader, they can pick up chunks of language and vocabulary that they can use in conversation and other real-world applications. It also significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to become conversational in a new language. As you read a bilingual reader, your brain begins to remember words and phrases simply because you are exposed to them several times. You don’t even realize, until you have to recall what you’ve learned, that you have already learned the new words and phrases. Listen to the audio tracks that should always accompany a bilingual graded book to learn how words are said and to improve your overall ability to speak the new language. A good idea is to use the free VLC media player to control the playing speed. You can control the playing speed by decreasing or increasing the speed value on the button of the VLC media player's interface. Decide what is better for you a paper book or an e-book. Many of the e-readers by Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo have dictionaries pre-loaded on their devices, with options to download additional ones, for free. If you do not have an e-reader, you do not have to buy one, because you can download it as a free app to your phone and use it right away. Writing your own notes, searching or making highlights is ridiculously simple with an e-reader or e-reading app. Anything you do with an e-book is also synced to the cloud, ensuring any change will follow you, no matter what device you are on. At first search on Google for "bilingual graded books" or "bilingual graded books for beginners". Choose and buy a book on a suitable topic, for example general, business, medical, culinary, dialogues, students, cooking, family, tourists, detective, short story or whatever you like. Read it for about twenty minutes a day. If you do it every day, you will be surprised how much you can learn in a month's time. Try to use the target language after you have learned for a month. If you don't have an opportunity to talk to native speakers at home or at work/study, use your target language in small talk on Skype or another online chat. Search on Google for "free online clean chat rooms" and pick up the one that suits your interests. Two or three minutes of small talk two or three times a week or more often will give you some motivation and encourage you to learn new questions and answers for new dialogues. Compile a list of questions and answers for your dialogues in a target language or find them on Google with keywords "Bilingual graded books dialogues" and try using them. Don't be afraid of making errors. They are your steps to success. You will spot and correct them sooner or later anyway. They will not be for the rest of your life. Better not to talk at all than to talk incorrectly? Wrong! Start talking as much as you can! Your language will improve every time you talk. A learner who knows only a hundred words and isn't shy of talking will progress more quickly than the one who knows a thousand words but remains silent because he or she is afraid of saying something wrong. It can usually take you from one to three months to finish a bilingual graded reader at beginner level (A1) and elementary level (A2). The amount of time depends on your previous experience with learning foreign languages and on your personal abilities. At this point you should be able to ask and answer simple questions with the following questioning words: What? Who? Where? When? Which? How many/much? As you improve and become more confident in your ability to use the new language, you can move on to the next reader level and continue your language-learning journey. After using a bilingual graded book for a week or two you are ready to study grammar rules, so buy a good grammar book. A grammar book will satisfy your curiosity about grammar rules awakened by the bilingual graded book. Read the grammar book to find out how you can use your target language more precisely. Follow this order - first read a reading book, then use a grammar book and exercises to make your learning experience uninterrupted. Language text with a parallel translation has helped many to uncover their potential for learning multiple languages. Whether you are learning a language as a hobby or for a necessary purpose, you will find such books are supportive. Using them is by far more pragmatic, efficient way to learn a new language than a "learn a language in two weeks" program. However you should frequently use the target language by using bilingual graded books with audio tracks, grammar books, chats, internet pages and even songs to maintain your motivation and progress. Remember - twenty minutes a day does the magic!

[@tullochgorum6323]

The Assimil products use parallel text together with excellent recordings of all the target language. Many of the best known polyglots recommend them as a practical and flexible way to get established in a new language. If you don't have the confidence to develop your own materials, an hour a day of Assimil for a few months, coupled with lots of additional reading and listening, is a proven approach that will work for many.

Once I began thinking in my second language German, fluency came quickly. Planning my day was an essential exercise. "At 2 o'clock, I need my red book. After school, father will drive us to the restaurant." Prepositional phrases are great to master vocally as they pair the usual prepositions to the nouns. Hexemes, subcategorization, oh my! My German teacher was the most influential in my career as an AI researcher in natural language processing. I still think of her almost daily.

I am also a lover of reading, especially in computer science, mathematics, calculus, science: Physics, Chemistry, etc. It would be good if you put subtitles in Spanish to all your videos since not everyone in South America or Spanish-speaking speaks or knows English well. Thanks again for your great contribution.

[@adoma.02]

This is exactly what I was looking for! I can't sit and read a textbook. It comes easier when there is an interaction when I am learning a new language because I remember things easier visually and relating it later with what they are saying. I'll start with watching that English grammar video you mentioned (bcuz i do suck at it) and after getting those common words in simple sentences. Thank You! And you look beautiful

[@Socratica]

We're so happy to hear this video resonated with you! It's so important to keep trying new techniques to find what works for you - sometimes it's a combination of lots of different approaches! Happy Learning! :D

Quite simplistic view on how to learn a language.

[@analuisa2897]

About the scenarios , I had to make that a few months ago when I got a Job in a call center, as a bilingual agent. My maternal tongue is spanish, and I had to function in english mostly, even when I am an upper intermediate. They gave us a Script, but I designed my own for every situation or service I have to sell. It was such an experience for me, and a trigger for Master my skills.

[@Socratica]

What a smart way to handle that situation!!

I personally enjoy her suggestion of developing your own situational materials. Before I started working this way I failed a few times trying to learn with a course book. Looking back, this was because got bored and lost motivation. The internet has opened up new and better ways to learn. I find that working on dialogues that are directly relevant to my own needs and interests, and then activating them immediately with an online conversation partner is much more motivating. And motivation is the key - anyone will succeed if they interact with the language daily for long enough - you just have to find a way to keep going. If you want some very clear and effective guidelines on how to work with situational strategies, I highly recommend Boris Shekhtman's little book "How to Improve Your Foreign Language Immediately". This is an approach he developed teaching Russian to high level US Government officials, journalists etc and has been proven over many years of research at the highly regarded FSI institute. Adapt it to self learning and you'll be miles ahead of the way that most people tackle a language.

[@fanfarrada]

I think that the natural process of learning and mastering a foreign language is to follow the order of nature. 01- mother tongue is something that happens, communicating before worrying about sound, structure, word order, etc. 02- feel the need to communicate, act and not think about words. 03- when we already have the power to make ourselves heard and receive answers, then it is time to evolve in the culture of communicating in this speaking activity.

[@deandinoeau1776]

Thanks, Caio. It's very tempting to imagine that she was raised in an English speaking environment. If she started learning English in a classroom situation first and came to this level with her effort, she is amazing. I think there is so much to learn from her if she is a non-native speaker of English and speaks like that.

I'm pretty good at German and Spanish, but I saw how beautiful Budapest is, and unlike other urban parts of Europe it's pretty low in "diversity," so maybe I'd consider living there. However, the Hungarian language is significantly different to English or any of the languages I've attempted.

[@Socratica]

Aaah, we dream of visiting Budapest one day! One of our friends from grad school married a Hungarian fellow, and she wanted to learn some of his language for when they visited his family. She did say that it was like starting absolutely from scratch, compared to how Spanish and French had a lot of similarities. She was able to learn how to make some very delicious dumplings from her MIL, so I think she got pretty good! :)

[@patricksweeney6334]

I love languages (in general) and language-learning, so... huge thumbs-up. Side-bar, though, on the "Schools have negelected phonics" side-bar. (IMHO) Phonics (in the U.S.) have historically been introduced *way* too early. Whole-word recognition (again, IMHO) should precede *any* thought of introducing phonics, and the associated notion of trying to *analyze* a word in order to say it. Phonics should come as an *expansion* or deep-dive on what one has learned through whole-word recognition. Introducing phonics too early only slows down reading efforts in a new reader. "What's this?" "Um... it's a shiny thing..." "Very good!" "Um... it has a pointy bits..." "Good, good!" "Um... it's a fork..." "There you go! You assembled your thought!" "Um... and what was I actually *doing* again?"

I know that the best material to learn Japanese are those in english.

If there was anyone in the world to listen to about learning a foreign language it would be this lady. Can you detect an ascent when she speaks? I rest my case. Thx

[@DesarrolloADE17]

Thank you .

[@mottahead6464]

My sole, let me put it this way, beef with this video's subject is the fact that, and I know this from personal experience (not very scientific - I know) - becoming fluent in a foreign language is a lot harder task for people who start learning a foreign language as a teenager or an adult. And the best way to really learn a new language is actually living in a foreign country so that one is surrounded by that specific foreign language - and perhaps has no other choice but improving one's ability to speak that specific language. Of course, with the advent of the internet, one can get exposed to a foreign language (or almost) anywhere in the world, yet when one is not surrounded by foreign language speakers chances are that one will retain linguistic "vices" (and I'm not talking only about accents here) that might make it somewhat hard for natives to understand whatever message one is trying to convey.

Eso es correcto , conocer varios idiomas te capacita para expresarte y hacerte entender mejor , sin embargo , hay muchas similitudes entre varios idiomas, por ejemplo , una persona que hable espanol, puede entender gran % de las palabras en Italiano o Portuguez , de hecho , la esposa de mi hermano es italiana , y he podido comunicarme con ella con relativa facilidad usando una combinacion de espanol e ingles , por supuesto, ella habla espanol ingles e italiano , pero no ciciliano , tambien me he comunicado con su familia italiana , lo he hecho con relativa facilidad. El frances no lo he podido entender , tampoco el rumano , aunque ambos tienen raices latinas, incluso, no entiendo el latin. Tampoco nunca fui aficionado a carreras de letras, siempre me han gustado las carreras de ciencias, tengo gran pasion por las matematicas , la fisica , aunque tambien por la buena filosofia ( Baltazar Gracian , Tomas de Aquino , Aristoteles, y otros de esa linea ) , no asi la maquiavelica , ni la de algunos cardelales. en fin , felicito a la profesora por sus excelentes clases , que tanto ayudan a la buena forma de pensar , le doy un 200 de 100 , porque sus clases me hacen menos burro, torpe , analfabeto.Invito a los jovenes a ver y escuchar estos hermosos videos de la profesora, que tanta falta hacen a la buena preparacion civica y academica. Es una profesora de latisima calidad.

I've always had fun with accents and I am told that I am a great mimic. However, I know no other language than English. I know a smattering of French and Spanish I do have and various greetings in a half dozen other languages. However, I feel very inadequate in this regard. A shout out to a FREE language website though. Duolingo. I have been using it for a few months now and am trying to learn Spanish. I think I am doing ok but I am always on the lookout for more resources. She mentioned flash cards. A website called Tiny Cards has partnered with Duolingo and you can practice your vocab there as well. So... off to see what her video in regards to flashcards is all about. Adios! Au revoir! Sayonara! Sai anjima! Dzie dzien! Auf wiedersehen!
