How to Learn a New Language from Scratch: Indonesian

[@Thelinguist]

Some people feel that they need to have the language explained to them, before they start exploring it on their own. I don't. I prefer to start learning the language by exploring, then when I get the explanations, later on, they have more meaning. --- FREE Language Learning Resources 10 Secrets of Language Learning ⇢ www.thelinguist.com LingQ Grammar Guides ⇢ www.lingq.com/en/grammar-resource/ My blog ⇢ blog.thelinguist.com/ The LingQ blog ⇢ www.lingq.com/blog/ My Podcast ⇢ soundcloud.com/lingostevepodcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/learn-languages-with-steve-kaufmann/id1437851870 --- Social Media Instagram ⇢ instagram.com/lingosteve_/ TikTok ⇢ www.tiktok.com/@lingosteve Facebook ⇢ facebook.com/lingosteve Twitter ⇢ twitter.com/lingosteve LingQ Discord ⇢ discord.gg/ShPTjyhwTN

Could you make a video titled " How to learn a language without Lingq " ?

[@MatrixCoder01]

I meant to say : Hypothetically If you had no internet , no Lingq how would you gather vocabulary? Obviously the internet makes things easier for everyone but how did people learn before? Best strategies stand the test of time, right?

[@MatrixCoder01]

@Alexander Barker Totally agree ; I was just pondering if he tried any real old hyperpolyglot strategies even before cds ; Mezzofanti would ask to translate the lords prayer. I have phrasebooks, books, dictionaries and CDs for my 7 languages ; just mixing tangibles w intangibles. Thank you for your answer.

You should try to learn bangla language because it's one of the historical language

Could you explain the layout for your flashcards? As they weren't shown in the video. Thanks for the video!

Indonesian has been one of the most fun and rewarding languages I've studied. I still can't speak the language, but my comprehension has grown rather quickly compared to something like Norwegian despite being a native English speaker.

I'm reading a German news article, and I'm listening to Steve Kaufmann's video at the same time as I'm hearing Indonesian words, and I can't believe I'm involuntarily using my comprehensible input to pick them up, and I mustn't memorize much more words as I'm so stuffed with too many foreign words.

Thank you for showing us how Ling Q works. Consistent practice, fortitude which you preach is so important.

[@skyrider828]

Thanks for that really useful close-up view of how you really start at the beginning. Excellent! Lets have some more following on these very basic stages. Lingq is very powerful but it is easy for us to completely miss some of the different functions built-in.

[@sesepsa]

@@thyagosilva1973 yes, i also use other resources such as tedx talk and any youtube chanel presenting the subject i like with target language.

[@thyagosilva1973]

@Trevor F Thank you I've seen a large progress with LingQ but sometimes I have this thought. If just using LingQ will lead me to the level that I want. Currently I started to use anki but with a doubt if it would work.

[@TCFung0101]

Steve when will you start making a vlog speaking in Arabic/Persian? We heard you studied them for awhile but don't seem to have seen any your talk/video on either of these languages yet? Did you encounter any major obstacles in these languages? :)

[@ayol1011]

Hey I'm from Malaysia and we speak Malay which is very similar with Indonesian. To me it's one the easier language to learn (pardon my bias). The pros are that we don't have gender and we don't have tenses. The cons are prefixes and suffixes. I hope you do well in this endeavour, you're like one of the best connoisseur of language on KZbin.

As a native, I can make sure that the most difficult thing for native when learning Indonesian is, Indonesian tend to use local dialect and slang words very much in their daily conversation

Wish you’d show how you would do a language with a non Latin alphabet I use lingq for Belarusian and Bulgarian and want to start gujarat but I don’t know the alphabet

[@kerim.peardon5551]

One of the lessons he didn't choose was just on the alphabet. I would start there (or use online or book materials) to learn the letters and their sounds. Then, when you are ready to start reading, sound out words, then check your pronunciation/letter recognition. You can go through a story just doing that, then go back through it order to actually pay attention to the meanings of the words. I never got far beyong the letters, but I learned Hebrew letters by using a workbook and an online blog that made cartoons from the letters so it was easier to remember how to pronounce them. I can still sound out most words, even though I don't know what they mean.

[@Thelinguist]

Obviously if the script is different you have to invest time in learning the writing system; But not to ace it, just to start to be able to read, or to struggle at reading, and you will gradually improve.

[@ivanravenski]

@@Thelinguist I have learned cyrllic myself, because i read Croatian i could read a Serbian cyrllic Text and i would recognize the words and learn the letter through my phonetic Memorirs. i have Tried to do the same with greek and Had Trouble with pronunciation. My plan is to learn gujarat on LingQ but the writing sytem is the most daunting I have attempted so far.

Most Indonesians in social media They're using Indonesian slang. Maybe that's confused to anyone who learning the Indonesian language. I think This Indonesian slang should exist for anyone. Also hard to translate to English even using translation. ID slang : Ntar cuk, gue mager nih. (Can you wait please bro, I couch potato.) Lu ngapain, cuk! (Bro, The heck are you doing!) Kok bisa gitu?

You remember words from a language you encountered in 1975!?

[@michaelrespicio5683]

As a native of a Southeast Asian language myself, I respect our neighbors including Indonesia as much as anyone else. When talking about the reasons why you would consider going back to Indonesian eventually, I couldn't help but notice you starting with the number of speakers and it sparks the question: why does it matter so much? It's becoming clear that it's a rather large deciding factor for you, Steve, when choosing a language and using that number to find more reasons to dive into the language and learn more about the culture. Not exactly fair. Why is it that some people try to learn languages that aren't as popular while you look at the number of speakers? You once said along the lines that you can discover reasons to dive into a language by doing research into the country and culture, so why not practice what you preach? There are actually more Vietnamese speakers but a language's worth is not and should not be measured by the number of speakers. Tagalog may not have as many speakers but Vietnamese and Filipinos are much easier to find around the world compared to Indonesians. Many Filipinos work abroad and although that may seem obvious, many of them are in nursing, making up about 25% of all nurses around the world and the number is only likely to increase. Because so many work abroad, many of us are adept at learning other languages. Get this, because so many Filipinos are actually based in the Middle East especially Saudi and the Emirates, many Arabs there speak Tagalog. Meaning if you somehow meet one of these people and speak Arabic, that's all good, but if they introduce you to their FIlipino friends, wouldn't you want to speak the language? And let's not forget that Filipino soldiers during the Korean War are the reason why South Korea exists today. Look it up. This is not to say don't learn Indonesian, but why not go for Tagalog as well considering how much the country and people have contributed and will continue to contribute? To anyone reading, I'll end off with this quick video. Question is: how much longer will YOU wait? kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKqXgJKdndprgK8

[@Wawruto]

The problem with Tagalog is not many Filipinos don't speak it well.

[@yomama...isaverynicelady]

Every filipino ive met was obsessed with pretending to be american and spoke perfect english. Since yall gave up your culture and language to assimilate to other countries even without immigrating, it is clear that yall dont even value yourselves. So why should anyone else? Thats the same reason I would refuse to ever learn German or Dutch.
