HOW TO LEARN A LANGUAGE AT HOME | DamonAndJo

Being afraid of looking/sounding dumb is what always holds me back from improving in other languages. I really wanna get over that.

These are fantastic tips. This is how I learned to speak German. I didn't have anyone to talk German to, so I emerged myself in the language with basic tv shows, music and radio. Now I am learning Portuguese and your channel is really helping!

[@untypicalien]

Could.you tell me what did you use (like app and everything) and which show and music because I can't find good German music and Idk where find german radio show

[@SenorMcCool1]

+Khadja Paux Download the Spotify app and search up the playlist 'Made in Germany'; some great up-and-coming artists like Mark Forster and Silbermond. Another great tool that I use is listening to the radio station '100% Deutsch' on the TuneIn Radio app

[@untypicalien]

+SeñorMcCool1 wow thanks you so much !

[@noellesilvia8319]

+Khadja Paux listen to Söhne Mannheims - they have great songs and they use quite easy lyrics in their songs. Same goes for Xavier Naidoo. I learned most of my German through music!

[@miaschmid2510]

wirsindamleben same :D

[@k-iex4053]

Nevertheless, have as much conversations as you can, since through listening, you won't get really better in the language you're learning. For vocabulary, read books. For your pronunciation, well, I'd recommend "Sounds American", "Rachel's English" and "The Accent's Way". They will be relevant for you if you aim to speak GenAm. Have fun, though. Just wanted to give you some tips.

I tried it but it's just so boring and it doesn't matter how many years you're taking these classes, you probably won't be confident enough to take in english in a foreign country. That's why I learned it on internet! I've become so much better that now I can listen to youtube videos without subtitles and I understand english song lyrics without having to translate it to portuguese! I think one of the things that helped me the most was Tumblr because it's a mainly english website. Also, music is the best thing when it comes to learning a new language! I'm currently listening to some french artists from your spotify playlist to help me :) xx

[@Paulinho__84]

For the past year or two I've been really trying to improve my spanish. I watch Masterchef (Argentina, I find the accent easier to understand than most).. Music trying to pay attention to song lyrics, quotes by Spanish authors, following the news in Spanish on my phone and last but not least.. I use one of the countless language groups you can find on whatsapp. The latest quote I came across (by Julio Cortazar) : "Tenemos que obligar a la realidad a que responda a nuestros sueños, hay que seguir soñando hasta abolir la falsa frontera entre lo ilusorio y lo tangible, hasta realizarnos y descubrirnos que el paraíso estaba ahí, a la vuelta de todas las esquinas" Learning languages is sexy!

[@RNS_Aurelius]

Some other methods I've used. Listening to nursery rhymes and reading children's stories if you are a beginner, these things are designed to teach children a language so it will definitely help you with basic vocab. Meeting people, I can almost guarantee, no matter what language you are learning there are native speakers in your city. The best way to find them is through social media or ad sites which allow you to post social groups. Just explain why you want to meet people and your level of expertise in the language. A lot of people will be willing to do it because it will help improve their English and they know the situation you're in.

This is an amazing video! I am a Chinese guy and I've been learning English for more than 11 years, but I actually speak and use this language for just maximum 3 years. And now I can proudly say I speak English perfectly, even learning French with the foundation of English not my mother tongue Chinese. I this it is very essential that a person who is studying a foreign language should realise the languages need to be working not only for these lame language tests in school, most importantly for using them in every day living. Repeat them when you hear someone saying a new word you don't know, speak to the cashier when going to the supermarkets buying some food, read them when you seeing an ad board on the street and of course pause and learn them carefully when you watching tv series with the foreign language subtitles on. This is the core purpose of learning a language and the tip i wanna share with y'all. thank you damon and jo.

[@joseortiz-fw7by]

Just go up to someone and ask if they speak that language. As far as I know, it is not rude to go up to someone and ask that. You will be amazed by how excited and grateful these people are when you attempt to speak their language. My dad is a native Spanish speaker and his face lights up when he hears my friends seriously trying to communicate with him. I'm learning Arabic and I went to the gas station and started speaking with the guy at the register and he was beyond happy that I was trying to say little phrases like "hello" "my name is" "thank you". These are the little steps you need to take to learn a language. It's so satisfying to get some words out of speaking. Good luck everyone!

[@ingridmeirelescavalcantiol990]

Hiiii, I tried this top youtuber tip but it didnt work out well to me since I had trouble relating to most of the KZbinrs I found and/or their content, so I think I improved that tip a little. First, I think of a subject or kind of content i'm already used to watch in my native language, then I turn it into keywords in the language that I want to find the youtubers and videos and search on KZbin. This makes easier to find something you'll really enjoy! For instance, I use this to find reviews about movies and series that I'm interested in, dicussions about the ones I already watched and so. Thanks so much for the tips Damon and Jo! And for those struggling to learn another languages, do not give up, you'll get there!!!

[@carelican]

also you can search up videos you regularly watch in english (i watch morning routines and "what i eat in a day") but translate the words to the language you want to learn (in french mine would be routine du matin and "ce que je mange en un journee") and it is so entertaining and helpful and you don't get bored of it!

[@analuiza5792]

Have you guys ever learned a language with a different alphabet? Because I'm trying to learn Korean at home and it's being pretty hard to get familiar with reading completely different letters from what I'm used to. Any tips?

[@Freazer96]

well i know 3 languages , arabic hebrew and english ... and i'm looking to learn korean .. so first of all get to know some words then start learning the alphabets and then connect those two 😉

[@chromeaces]

I'd def say watch korean variety/dramas, most of them are already english subbed (I rec kshowonline.com if you're interested in variety shows and dramacool for dramas). Talktomeinkorean is a really good site to start with the basics and grammar to progress. It's also a plus if you do happen to understand Chinese, bc from when I was learning Korean, you could direct translate quite an amount of Korean words/phrases to Chinese so it was easier for me to understand.

[@FeliciaFollum]

+Ana Pisani TenguGo is a great app. I learned the Hindi and Arabic/Urdu alphabet with it...It took me like a week to be able to read Hindi...There is also a comic that explains the Korean alphabet really well...Search for the Polyglot group on KZbin and someone can send you the image I'm sure...

[@MatheusHenriqueBonetti]

+Ana Pisani I was thinking about the same as watching the video. I have been studying japanese for years and the reading and writing is still very difficult because it's a whole different thing. Two things that works for me: studying by flashcards and trying to read music lyrics as listening to it, like in a karaoke. It helps you get used not just to the individual characters, but to whole words and expressions. And as you are talking about korean, I know it's not gonna be difficult to find some music to listen haha

I'm Brazilian, from Rio!! I lived in Texas and Colorado for two years. I came back to Brazil last October since then I've tried to put myself in contact with the language as much as I can. I keep touch with my American friends which helps a lot.

[@lexibadami3116]

My biggest tips are definitely definitely watching KZbin videos in the language, listen to almost all of your music in that language, definitely try to learn song lyrics, I also suggest learning more about the culture in general cause then you'll be a little more interested in continuing your experience (as well as slang cause it's always fun to learn to talk natively), oh also going to restaurants or any place you can practice that language, and most most most most definitely try your absolute hardest to pronounce things correctly from the beginning because once you have less of an accent you'll feel so much more comfortable actually putting that language into practice, oh and definitely have shower conversations with yourself in that language and always try to be thinking like oh I wonder what how to say this and then actually search it up because you'll be trying to learn things you actually say a lot! Love this video so so much I just found you guys and am so excited to start watching your videos!

My way of learning a language: 1) Set your phone to your new language before you learn anything! 2) Download a language exchange app (I use Tandem or HelloTalk) before you learn anything! 3) Use a language course that either is free or costs next to nothing: (Duolingo and Babbel are really good, NOT Rosetta Stone!) 4) Study every day and stick to the plan with this! 5) Speak the language EVERYDAY on that language learning app you bought earlier!

This is the first video I've watched of them and I already love them

[@abbieamavi]

the fact that you guys speak so many languages also adds to your subscriber count, cos you got so many ppl that can understand!! I love your channel & your tips!!

[@jorgeohm20270]

I literally started watching your videos like half an hour ago and I can't believe how useful and entertaining it has been! You guys are hilariously witty and clever. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experiences :)

[@emilyknapp4810]

The app Hello Talk is really helpful. It allows you to chat with native speakers that are trying to learn English

[@JamesWronaVlogs]

I love you both! Keep up the good work :)

[@behmdaniel]

Tip: make friends on talk exchange platforms and bring the best ones (i.e. the best study partners/friends) over to Skype. You will get contacts from many different spanish speaking countries, which is helpful and best of all, its possible that you visit them or they visit you :)

[@bryi3853]

i've been using some of these learning hacks, and seeing french comments and being able to read them has me so excited! yes!

[@ThatMcFlyFan]

I started learning Norwegian because of Skam but although the language isn't widely used and everyone who speaks it can speak English really well, I fell in love with it! Duolingo started me off great, then watching the show both with and without subtitles - I also just started texting my Norwegian friend in her native language rather than mine (English) and it has honestly helped so much! Thanks for these tips, I love them - also suggest narrating what you're doing really helps (once again you sound like a crazy person but who cares?!)

[@lala24012001]

somebody gives me a tip, it was put post it on all thing in your flat with the word that matches for example on your chair you put post it where there is written chaise. I hope I have been clear to the English-speaking people because I'm french. quelqu'un m'a donné un conseil, c'était de mettre un post it sur toutes les choses de ton appartement avec le mot qui correspond par exemple sur ta chaise tu poses un post it où il y a écrit chaise. J’espère que j'ai été claire pour les anglophones parce que je suis française

[@ulrichlehnhardt4293]

you forgot an advice - the best one: get a boyfriend from abroad!

[@Meijimack]

Genau getroffen!

[@melaniay5521]

Didn't help to me. My ex boyfriend from London speak 2 languages: English and my native language and we speak it on my native language.

[@melissamatthews9616]

Yes I agree! Im German and my boyfriend is from Brazil. Now I have to learn Portuguese to speak to his family. Bist du auch Deutsch?

[@summerkellers949]

What's the best grammar book for learning french at home that will teach you everything?

[@DamonAndJo]

+summer kellers Check out our blog! We wrote down all the movies and books and pretty much everything we used to help us learn French! shutupandgo.travel/learn-french/

[@summerkellers949]

+DamonAndJo oh my gosh thank you so much i love you guys!

[@Terre314]

+summer kellers the best book is here on DamonAndJo Channel ! xD Or you can ask some french people to help you , it will always be good to interact with people on skype or whatever you want. btw, i'm french ^^ Sinon je vous adore Damon et Jo. Continuez comme çà. A la prochaine ;)

[@prai2266]

I know this is an old video BUT I love you guys! lol I've been living in Germany this year and I'm American but every German I've talked to learned English from watching their favorite tv show or movie with subtitles.

[@Liv-is8eo]

You guys make learning languages seem like so much fun and I hope and think that you're a part of a big change in how we learn languages not just in our private lives but also in school

[@curlytravels1069]

What are some Tv show and movies in french??

[@DamonAndJo]

+Sandra Queen Un gars une fille!

[@curlytravels1069]

+DamonAndJo merci

[@sh5446]

+Sandra Queen If you want a show for language learners, you could try Extr@. I show this one to my students.

[@curlytravels1069]

+Sarita French merci beaucoup

[@sweetplant9089]

+Sandra Queen en film, il y a intouchable, en série outre un gars une fille, il y a fais pas ci fais pas ça

[@Japonessica]

Como eu adoro essa dupla

[@asksyealer]

I read you post about things polyglots do. Another thing: Sometimes I get bored of saying things in my native language like "indeed" so then I almost throw in a "ja das stimmt" just for fun but then I realize my friends won't understand and it would only derail the conversation hahah (maybe I'm just weird)

[@rachelbehik3295]

Me too! I text my friends in French sometimes just to mess with them and for a change of pace

[@asksyealer]

Rachel Behik Ahh voilà! ;)

[@CachezUneMemoire]

+Nina I do this all the time with my friends. Someone will start speaking in French and for the next 20 minutes, we'll continue the conversation in French :)

[@asksyealer]

***** But my problem with that is that nobody of my friends would understand hahah :) It'd be nice if they did!

[@CachezUneMemoire]

The privilege of growing up in Belgium ;) Everyone has to learn at least 2 foreign language in school, most learn 3

[@lifeofalunatic1976]

Just now watching this video, you guys are so awesome! I speak Dutch, English and German... and have been struggling with French since foreverrr. I had it in school for three years but that didn't get me anywhere. Now I'm in France for 5 months to see if I make progress here, otherwise I will probably stop and start with either Hebrew or Spanish.

[@alondrasaldana7016]

I took 2 French classes in high school and have been wanting to go back to it lately. You guys have inspired me so much! Also, what I've noticed is that knowing another Latin language (like Spanish for me) helps a lot.

[@ZoeHammer]

I love this I really want to improve my French and Portuguese!

[@maddielinette13]

The book is The Girl on the Train!

[@tripple7W]

If you want to learn french, just watch at the same time motoki maxted video, and in parallel math podcast's. Direct translation, it is perfect.

[@tomsuperlefou2012]

Hahaha, je crois que c'est le commentaire le plus drôle que j'ai jamais vu. xD

[@Mseteiluj]

French speaker here ! I'm currently learning italian thanks to Duolingo. It's both an app and a website and it's freee ! I've been doing training sessions with it for 14 days now and it's so much fun. I definitely recommend it !

[@palm0607]

AAYYEE !!! Y'all inspired me to plan a trip to Paris and Cairo and now I'm rushing to learn some French !!!!!

[@evellynevy756]

Ainda tenho feliz q um dia vou entender os videos de vcs em inglês!! E necessito isso rápido

[@evellynevy756]

[@user-kf1jq]

+Evellyn (Evy) kkkk eu entendi uns 40% estudo inglês em casa e da muita preguiça rs" mas da um bom resultado vc deveria tentar :)

[@evellynevy756]

Marco Silva Voltei a fazer isso essa semana , realmente dá uma preguica tremenda kkkkk , tenho dificuldade na conversação de entender o q se esta falando, na parte escrita para mim é fácil até. Mas tive bons resultados quando estudava em casa só q parei e voltei para estaca zero. Isso q dá ser pobre se fosse rica ia passar meses nos states e voltava fluente kkkkkk

[@user-kf1jq]

eu já sou o contrario sou muito bom pra falar e péssimo pra escrever, dessa vez não pare isso atrasa muito.. meu sonho é fazer um intercambio ahuahsuhaushu

[@NandoAGamer]

+Marco Silva entrei na faculdade de inglês este ano e eu tenho que aprenden sozinho, em um ano pratiquei meu listen e write and read, então agora estou começando a falar, ler comentarios em ingles ajuda.

[@marialuz_7594]

Im learning french, can somebody recomend me any french series o movie to watch ? Thanks

[@naquarnevans4616]

@@angiemedina9698 I’ve been learning French for 3 days now, nowhere near fluent and do not know much but I was happy to be able to understand your sentence.

[@tangsprite]

"changement de langue" my iphone says....Damon & Jo u better hope this works out bc I might get stuck w a French phone 😭

[@DamonAndJo]

+Kyla Gray hahahahhaahaha you might but at least you'll learn the vocab along the way ;)

[@limitlessbianca]

I used to do this, but then there were times when I was tired of it and changed back to English. I should do this again soon!

[@FranklinAmorimdeMello]

hey! I'm brazilian, and I'd like to say how important and funny your youtube channel is. To see a american/brazilian girl and a american boy learning portuguese is rewarding. Congratulations.

[@claradelune]

When i'm not with my family speaking Italian i love to listen to italian podcasts about news and comedy. It really helps me keep on that italian grinddd. so basically listen to podcasts in the language you wanna learn and it's great cause a lot of them are free. Helps with pronunciation too woo.

[@sabrinaferreira3532]

Something i think that would be cool: one whatsapp group to learn languages. For example, we can make one with brazilians who want to learn english and americans who want to learn portuguese. If you want to say something, you need to say in the language you want to learn. Maybe it sounds a little confusing, but would be awesome. Sorry for my bad english 😛

[@endlessdaybreak9365]

Sabrina Ferreira That's a really good idea!

[@griseldamoony7086]

Sabrina Ferreira you are a genius. I hope you made it happen. Your English is also pretty perfect.

[@RuxilBagares]

Sabrina Ferreira im really in for this!!!! Did you make this whatsapp group?

[@lorenna9922]

Sabrina Ferreira Eu uso esta técnica exata e isso tem me ajudado a melhorar a minha escrita em Português, mas minha pronúncia é ruim porque eu não entendo a praticá-lo muitas vezes. Preciso de amigos brasileiras mais antes de eu ir ao Brasil no próximo ano 🤙🏼😄

I am Brazilian, I do not know how to speak English if you can put some group of whatsapp my number: (81) 986520281

Already beat you to the favorite Netflix series in a foreign language. I actually decided to start learning German because of DARK! I highly recommend it!

I have been watching yall all morning!!! I love yall so much. I have never been able to follow vloggers until now.

[@serenamiezientseva8493]

Super practical, modern tips!! Thanks so much! (I grew up speaking English and Spanish, learned Russian in college, and am trying to pick up German)

[@YumiOnline]

I wish Duolingo had Korean or Japanese bc it's reeeally useful T_T but I'm trying to learn through youtube or TTMIK c:

[@kap9415]

+Yumi incubator.duolingo.com/courses/ko/en/status Korean is in the incubator on Duolingo actually for english speakers, but I'm not sure when it's going to be released. The estimated completion date is the silliest I've ever seen.

[@alexbosworth1582]

+死神きよし I know right lol. 2099 if I'm not mistaken😂. It'll be done by the end of next year im sure

[@lauraaxelsen6128]

Glossika is great too - maybe they have Korean or Japanese?

[@alexbosworth1582]

Laura Axelsen Japanese is already out for Android on mobile. I'm using it right now. Korean I'd say is about 60-70% done

[@bevip6805]

Memrise is similar to Duolingo and it has Korean and Japanese:)

[@amberhusband9114]

I wanna learn French because I’m Canadian and I also have a friend who lives in France:) well she’s an internet friend😊

[@HelenavV_]

Well it's kinda hard to read a magazine when you're trying to learn sign language

[@samh8964]

wow, I am hooked, your personalities were amazing, been looking to learn a language for a long time now, and all I have is time now!!!

[@natalieprocopio1819]

Loved this video! You guys are awesome! I thought of the KZbin, audiobook and phone language settings thing, but some of the others are like damn i didn't think of that! .... Just taking some notes don't mind me 😅😉 1 KZbin 2 App and phone language setting 2 Twitter and News Feed 3 Audible 4 Foreign magazines subscription 5 Cooking with recipes in a foreign language 6 Netflix shows, cooking shows, the voice, house hunters, cartoons 7 Songs

But how do I actually learn like grammar and vocabulary to understand all of this in the first place

[@riela4524]

Could somebody help me with learning german lmao asap (im a teenage girl who moved to germany and im so confused and do not know where to start.

Download the app Abenteuer: Himmelsscheibe by the Goethe Insitut. It's actually fun.

Nicolle Moraes I hope really really hope

[@riela4524]

[@kelsiegilmore4551]

I wanted to change my phone to the language I desire but I once did that to my laptop and it broke and no one could speak danish to fix it so we had to get it shipped to denmark and it was this big thing so um. Yeah. Let's not.

[@melaniay5521]

I switch it easily. Maybe it's about different brand of phone.

[@abby4115]

Tv shows and variety shows are amazing! I've been learning Korean and Korean variety shows are amazing because they always have writings all over the screen as the people are talking!

[@ninatravis7791]

Learning phonetics is what helped me in learning Spanish. The phonetics book that I purchased had diagrams that were helpful and showed how the tongue is suppose to be placed, which was really beneficial. So I was able to learn how to pronounce "vaca" with a soft b and "beso" with a hard B. I also studied abroad in Cuernavaca, Morelos (Mexico) and attended a language school there called Kukulcan, for two weeks. That 2 week immersion was the most I ever learned. More then I ever learned in any classroom. I stayed with a host family. We would have language discussions at the dinner table. I walked around town, talking to the locals. It was great!
