Honestly, this is almost exactly how I learned English... Only there was no Internet back then, no smartphones, no Google Translate. So I did it offline. With a dictionary. Started translating songs - guessing the spelling from hearing, then started watching movies - pausing after every sentence and translating in the same manner. It'd take me up to 3 days to watch a single picture. But now, 20 years later, I still remember almost every quote from my favourite ones! Winning all trivia drinking contests since 1999. Also, there was a time when movies were available online but without captions and guess who was very good at making those. One of my better jobs - was literally paid to watch blockbusters pre-release.

[@hexzerorouge6361]

I also learned English like this, but I may be a bit younger so after I discovered 9gag it became my main source of learning. For me the biggest barrier was consuming a lot of content at once and memes definitely helped me through the hurdles

[@tytheeblaiseR]

Bro, that's not how you should watch a movie..

[@ronlugbill1400]

Your story about not remembering the word "president" in Korean, and instead saying "The CEO of the country" is very important for language learners. It is called circumlocution. You cannot get stuck on a word. You just have to find another way to say it. If you don't know the word for car, you can say "Mercedes" or "thing that goes fast on the road", or whatever. But do not get stuck. This is crucial for language learners because they will get stuck and it will ruin their attempt to speak the language.

[@kayleighlevitt2741]

what are methods to recover from circumlocution if it does happen?

[@ronlugbill1400]

@kayleighlevitt2741 write a word or a sentence on a sheet of paper. Find as many ways as you can to say the same thing. Opposites are often a good choice. Another way to say "smart" is "not stupid". Or to describe it. It's an animal that sometimes lives in a house. Has a tail. Makes a noise. Etc. Do not get stuck, thinking of what is that word. Find another way to say it. Because it will take 10 years to know every word in a foreign language. You need to be able to function with a limited active vocabulary for now.

[@JacksonNotJaxon]

I haven't thought of that. When trying to understand or speak spanish I always get hung up on one word

[@ango468]

in my teaching, i use cards. 1 word on 1 card. 2 students work together. one takes a card and tries to explain the word on the card without using the word or parts of the word until the partner guesses the word. it s a 4 in 1 learning: 1. they repeat vocabulary. 2. they train speaking. 3. they train listening. 4. they train grammar😊

[@ramonalavigne8953]

I play video games in French because it forces me to understand in order to play the game. If I'm confused or don't understand something I can talk to a character again or look at the pause menu to see my objectives. I think it's a really good way of learning. I tend to watch movies in full, but maybe I will try watching just a single scene after watching this video.

[@sympathic21]

hello, which games do you play in French please?

[@ramonalavigne8953]

@@sympathic21 For games with French voice acting I play the Resident Evil (from Revelations onwards), Tomb Raider (The reboots) and a Plague Tale. For just the text, most games can be played in french as you just switch your console to the French language.

I did 4 years of high School German. I was amazed to find the language Educational films we used (black and White made in the late 1950's) still available on the youTube. The series is called "Guten Tag." If you know some German you will quickly get bored of it but if you are a beginner they are excellent. The episodes are about 15 mins long. Never thought I'd use it again but ended up getting a job in Germany in a German speaking only workplace (they were very patient!) Learning another language opens so many doors.

I think that we shouldn't undervalue watching basic children's shows. If you can find a dub in your target language, it offers you a free pass to re-experience a piece of your childhood with fresh eyes. It especially helps if you pick a show where the characters talk directly to the audience a lot. For instance, Pistas de Blue, the spanish dub of Blue's Clues. Or, on Disney+ I started watching Bear in the Big Blue House when I go to bed, which has been fun and relaxing. Love your channel btw, your comprehensible input videos are great. note: the only problem with dubs is you won't pic up on mouth movements or they could be distracting, but that's not really an issue with a puppet show like Bear in the Big Blue House

[@richardditty5318]

Agreed, my kids love blippi and sometimes I watch it in Spanish with them. It's great because it has basic words you don't find often in things made for adults.

[@sandysandilya3852]

When I started learning Spanish I was lost.....but then I saw your videos again and again so many times that even during work my brain used to throw the words you used in your videos and also writing a diary everyday also helped me learn it much more faster

[@manephewlenny6401]

I learned a lot by watching films I already knew most of the words to with Spanish audio and Spanish subtitles on netflix. Phrases / sentences start sticking in my head from the film and I make the connection automatically.

[@anthonyrodrigues2139]

I didn't watch all your videos, but I know this is the best one I ever liked, and the reason for that is I love the Spanish accent. Besides that, you have given a lot of information which is true. I've always been wanting to watch Spanish movies with English subtitles. I wish I had the time to learn. Thank you Laura.

[@unstopitable]

I agree. Next to living in the country of the target language, this is the best way (after achieving some proficiency). I would also recommend audiobooks--not only by repeatedly listening to the book chapter by chapter, but by, yes, copying the text by hand, word for word, which I continue to do till this day. But once you achieve advanced mastery, this copy-writing is no longer necessary; just listening should suffice. Frequency dictionaries are also useful. I have one all-time favorite book that I've copied, word for word, in three different languages. Language acquisition is just a life-time effort. Like staying in shape. Y, a propósito, sos muy linda.

[@kimwebster203]

haven't watched your channel for awhile ( sorry). Your English enunciation, which was excellent, has improved significantly. Gives me motivation to get back to learning Spanish. Thanks!😀

[@MM-pl5ed]

yes, this advise helped a lot me because you can relate what the characters in the movie are saying within the situation they are in or learning about the problems they are facing during the story

[@Erowen203]

The referenced app is amazing! Exactly what I need to jump to the next level. It’s so hard to find shows and books in Spanish from all levels to help learn. Thank you!!!!

[@Shibby27ify]

I love how you let your Spanish accent shine through. Some online language coaches and teachers suppress their native accent actively, causing them to sound strange even though they're proficient in English. It's so much more natural sounding when your native accent is still there with the what a person has acquired of the target language accent.

[@j3ffn4v4rr0]

I'm studying Russian, and I watched a video of a Russian-speaking Brazilian woman, who kept her native accent...it was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard...like liquid gold dripping from her tongue.

[@zakmartin]

I've been watching Spanish language movies on Netflix to try to improve my comprehension skills (Spanish language movies tend to be dreadfully cheesy, but that's neither here nor there...) and the trick I hit on was to change the speed to .75 of the normal speed. It's barely noticeable in terms of enjoying the movie, but it makes a HUGE difference in terms of being able to understand what is being said. Of course, they speak proper Spanish in movies (albeit it's usually South American Spanish, with all those ustedes and carros...), whereas I live in Granada, where they speak their own version of Spanish, which seems to be based on the principle that consonants - like car indicators - are superfluous and must never be used.

Thanks! I like the idea of also describing the scene in addition to translating the dialogue. I just started doing this with To The Lake to learn Russian. I put the audio and subtitles in Russian and translate a couple scenes. The words are spoken so quickly 😅 but it’ll help me learn how the words get smushed together in real speech.

[@kctechie]

I've also watched at least 100 kdramas and the only words ive picked up are the ones really picked up in context. Also, I've listened, almost exclusively, to Latin, Spanish, & Brazilian music for over 30 years and speak no Spanish. I do occasionally freak out when i can understand a complete phrase or sentence. I'll usually run and run it thru google translate to see if it actually meant what i thought and an occasionally surprised. I do really love your teaching style and believe your approach is best.

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

Visual cues are extremely important to learn a language, sensory stimulation is the reason you learn faster by living in a place the language is spoken, as opposed of just reading textbooks or glossaries. That is how babies obtain their mother language, they don't even learn it, they just naturally obtain and absorb it, with inputs from the environment around them, association of visual cues with sounds (that they eventually form words)

[@expatplus]

This is AWESOME. Gracias Laura! Me encanta el video

I find watching youtube videos in other languages to be more helpful than movies personally. Movies are more cinematic with their music and sound effects and that can get in the way of me understanding the words. A lot of times though theres less of that in youtube videos.

KZbin videos are also usually the perfect size, movies can get too long and having to try to follow the plot in a foreign language can get exhausting.

[@anangelsdiaries]

While I 100% agree, movies with their narratives (especially if already watched in your NL) are often much easier to understand. I find that right now in Japanese I can understand most animes and movies without too much problem (will miss some specifics but will be able to follow what's happening) but then will have to put my 100% concentration to follow a YT video. As a result, anime relaxes me and KZbin tires me.

The best way to actually learn something from movies or shows is to do it later. Let me explain basically I’m learning the general grammar and knowing how to form them then you go ahead with movies. Because what the movie does is improve your language because the way the people talk with conversations you naturally pick up but as a starter up it’s like listening to gibberish. 😊

I’m working on Costa Rican Spanish (tico Spanish) because my gf is from Costa Rica and I’m trying to communicate better with her family. I’d love to learn the colloquialisms and such but idk how to find that content over mexican Spanish or Castilian

[@Argelinoquehablaespanol]

Thank you Laura I agree with everything you've said except for this part of "analyzing" because as you know when using comprehensible input all we want to do is to learn the language subconsciously and by "analyzing" tht will turn into learning consciousply In my opinion as a language leaner you need to be a bit patient at the beginning and watch some boring kids shows as I did learning Spanish and English, I've watched Peppa pig , callo ,bluey , Pocoyó and others and after watching for a sufficient time I'm now able to understand movies and tv shows for natives more than the natives themselves 😊 I'm just kidding 😂 But I can really understand them forgetting that this is in a foreign language Thanks again Laura, I hope that you come with new Comprehensible input content soon ❤❤

Really well said, your English is at a very high level. What is your native language (or language family), if you don't mind sharing?

[@GreenGiant2007]

I tried to watch SpongeBob SquarePants in Spanish thinking it would be easy as it’s aimed at children. It was some of the hardest Spanish I’ve come across! I had no idea what most of the expressions and vocabulary meant. Pocoyó is thankfully much more straightforward.

@@lorenzo6777 sure , my native language is Arabic

[@Argelinoquehablaespanol]

@@GreenGiant2007 SpongeBob is for older kids try something for kids who are younger than 6 years old at the beginning

google translate says that means president of country ! It says that CEO of country is 국가의 CEO . I never know whether to trust google translate !

Yeah I watch a lot of Netflix shows in Spanish and I really like K-Dramas, so I'm starting to learn that. I'm also starting to learn Portuguese through worship singers. If I watch a cartoon then it's a cartoon that I enjoy and already know. I do have Lingo Pie.

A major issue I've found when trying to learn a language with videos has been subtitles that don't match the audio. Does anyone have good sources for videos where it matches? I have looked into the issue and I realize there are many reasons for it, but it is still a huge roadblock for a beginner like me.

[@edwardmacnab354]

when watching things like news or information , I've found that I can understand what a spoken sentence is getting at , without knowing the exact meaning of each word, or even of noticing that some words were even included . Also , a lot of languages have very similar structure and even word origins so that I find I can understand Italian, Portugese , AND Spanish because there really are only a few grammatical and pronounciation differences . This would not work with Chinese , however .It does not work with German either even though German is very similar in some ways , to English . I would say that German is more like Slavic Languages where there are a lot of cases and a lot of seemingly unecessary rules and different prepositions for different cases . Eventually I'm going to have to get this Lingopie thing because it fills a necessary gap to understanding movies which is I think , the hardest step .

What do you recomend for learn German? I'm facing a big problem to learn it using the "common" way

[@edwardmacnab354]

@@arthurlira8288 i can't help you there . I find it extremely difficult to learn. A german told me that the reason English looks like baby talk compared to German is because of the French conquest of England in 1066. German is stuffed with Grammar rules . And the words are very unsimilar to English words since English is quite literally 50% french words. I focus on French and Spanish. I literally have no time for German. Sorry !

[@edwardmacnab354]

@@arthurlira8288 like Laura says about using short chunks , that is the best way to approach German. Longer passages will get very confusing real fast . Try to learn as much vocabulary as possible . Maybe fudge the grammar for awhile because it is Quite complex and rule laden.

Es muy extraño escucharte hablar inglés, mi lengua materna. Es como eres una persona diferente. No sé porque, no puedo explicarlo, pero simplemente es extraño. Sin embargo, tu ingles es buenísimo, me sorprendí mucho. A menudo tengo lo mismo problema que tu cuando miro algo en español. Reciente yo estaba mireando la serie "friends" en español, pero no me ayuda nada. Fue muy difícil seguir el diologo. Estoy de acuerdo contigo. Es muy fácil entender algo mas corto. Algo que me gusta escuchar es anuncios en la radio. Es porque los son muy cortos y facil entender pero tienen buen vocabulario.

[@veroniquedelafere7474]

Could you please recommend some Spanish 'classic' movies to watch using this method? Spanish is my third foreign language and I have learnt a lot about the other two through cinema. But it seems that most movies that I can find in Spanish right now are modern and sometimes made for TV -- not necessarily very good. Are there any older ones that you would recommend? Where I'm from, we somehow just don't know a lot about Spanish and Spanish-language cinema

ChatGPT Summary: The video titled "How to Learn ANY Language with Movies" discusses a method for language learning using movies and TV shows. The speaker explains that watching movies made for native speakers of the target language can be challenging for beginners or intermediate learners without subtitles. To make movies more understandable, the speaker suggests cutting them into smaller scenes and analyzing each scene in detail. The speaker mentions a language learning platform called Lingopie as a useful tool for this approach. Lingopie allows users to analyze scenes with interactive subtitles, translate unfamiliar words, and adjust playback speed. The speaker also recommends describing and discussing the scenes, identifying key vocabulary, and creating flashcards for future review. The speaker emphasizes the importance of expressing oneself and not being afraid to make mistakes while learning a language. The video concludes with a mention of Lingopie's discount and sponsorship.

[@oxiary]

Thanks !!

[@willv42]

Will the discount link expire?🙈 I wanna try it but I want to wait until my vacation starts in a few days and I'm off work so I can actually focus on that.

[@julienalexander6113]

Wow. Thank you! How long will the 55% discount last?

[@papayapie2]

muchas gracias ig 🙇

this is not only a good way to learn Korean, but to make each K-Drama episode last 100 sessions instead of just 1! so if you're a non-native Korean who's emotionally invested in a K-Drama, that's fantastic news! that show will last you months/years, instead of just days of binge watching!

[@AzuL4573]

There are great AI subtitle generators now that make learning through tv and movies far easier. I always hated having to read subtitles that were clearly not accurate to the actual words and phrases being spoken.
