in brief: The video discusses a method to learn languages without traditional studying. **1. Introduction:** - The presenter, Bri, shares her struggles with traditional language learning methods, such as studying grammar and practicing vocabulary, which never worked for her. **2. Comprehensible Input:** - Bri introduces the concept of "comprehensible input," a foundational idea in language acquisition proposed by Dr. Steven Krashen, an American linguist. - The idea is that individuals acquire languages by understanding messages. Real progress in language acquisition occurs when the input is slightly above one's proficiency level, termed as "i+1" by Krashen. - Krashen differentiates between "learning" a language (traditional methods like memorizing grammar) and "acquiring" a language (subconscious understanding without deliberate practice). The latter is more effective. **3. Embracing Laziness:** - Instead of studying grammar and vocabulary, one should increase their exposure to the target language by watching movies, reading books, playing video games, listening to podcasts, music, etc. - Research supports that comprehensible input is effective, and one can learn a language from the comfort of their couch. - The content consumed should be slightly above one's proficiency level (i+1) for optimal learning. **4. LingoPie Platform:** - Bri recommends LingoPie, a platform that turns TV shows and movies into language lessons. It offers on-screen transcriptions in English and the target language, allowing users to pause and understand unfamiliar words. - LingoPie also provides grammar explanations, adjustable playback speeds, and a review section with flashcards and games. - A special offer for LingoPie is mentioned, thanking them for sponsoring the video. **5. Importance of Compelling Content:** - The content consumed should not only be understandable but also interesting. If the content is boring, it won't be effective. - At the beginning of the language learning journey, content might need to be simpler, like children's books or beginner-focused content. Repeated exposure to the same content helps in understanding the language's sound and structure. **6. Conclusion:** - Embracing laziness and focusing on comprehensible input is the key. Traditional methods like studying grammar and vocabulary are not as effective. - Increasing comprehensible input enhances the ability to acquire languages. This method promotes a more intuitive and enjoyable approach to language learning, emphasizing understanding and immersion over rote memorization.

Thank you for this, invaluable as always bri 😊❤

[@BriDoesAI]

thank you for watching! :)

[@cobracommander8133]

I learned Spanish like this. Just by watching movies and tv shows as much as possible, 1-2 hours a day at minimum. I did that for almost a year and was able to have basic conversations. Then I went to Spain for 2 months and was really immersed in it.

[@BriDoesAI]

This is my goal. Got any show/movie recs??

[@cobracommander8133]

@@BriDoesAI There are so many good TV shows and Movies coming out of Spain right now. A Private Affair (2022) - Prime These are on Nflix Mirage (2018) You Cannot Hide (2019) God’s Crooked Lines (2022) El Innocente (2021) Wrong Side of the Tracks (2021) There are a lot more but these are the ones I really liked a lot.

[@I_am_nooh]

@@BriDoesAI That's my goal as well! If you find something good please reply here. Love your content! You'll go big real soon.

[@DandoPorsaco-ho1zs]

One shouldn't take Krashen's words like a gospel and go extreme. After all, one doesn't learn how to deliver speeches and do proper argumentation in their own language just by listening to others -one has to practise even in their own language to improve beyond a certain level. Having said that, I agree with the main idea.

[@lilkimbu2817]

Facts. there are people that try to push the narrative of learning grammar is unimportant or that they can do it and speak the language just fine. No one is saying you gotta stick your head in grammar all day but you're gonna look like a *find sugar coated version of a clown* to natives and just advance or semi advance speakers who see these reallllly odd mistakes

[@Calcufast001]

Bri. Well done 👍

[@Travis-L6E]

acquiring a language should consist of reading, writing, listening and speaking including grammar. Children also learn the grammar of their own language in school, how to spell etc. Throwing out grammar would be a mistake.

[@imoliver2822]

I enjoy learn with tv shows to improve my listening, and reading I like to read articles on Wikipedia about what's gonna happen in the episode before I watch.

[@eversonbr2023]

The fun thing for me is I have been using your videos to acquire English.😅

[@Insightfill]

We retain the start and end of things better than the middle. You'll learn more from two sessions at thirty minutes each rather than one at sixty. I had a music instructor once say "I don't want you to practice a lot, but often instead."

[@BriDoesAI]

I learned this in the book Limitess--this is known as the primacy and recency effect, and is why the pomodoro method is so effective!

[@phen-themoogle7651]

I started Portuguese recently. A lot of the content that I watch is way above my proficiency level lol How do you find content that is interesting but yet around your level, I looked at lingo pie and I mean I managed on some of the 5 minute or short videos looking up tons of stuff, but sometimes it's still overwhelming, especially if I wanna watch something that is 1 hour long...and in general everything is way above my current level. I also don't like using books though. I'm also exchanging letters with someone on an app called Slowly, so I have plenty of time to respond to them. They are only using Portuguese which is nice ,and I spend lots of time with chat gpt analyzing them, but sometimes it's overwhelming. I guess it just is gonna be a little painful at first until I build up a solid foundation , and then I'll just enjoy more stuff...idk

[@adamm5107]

I saw a video made by What I've Learned about this very topic a while back. But it's nice to see it mentioned on your channel as well. I'm trying to learn German now and though it's not going as fast as with English, I think I'm making some progress 😁

[@BriDoesAI]

oh I haven't seen that, I'll have to check it out! And slow progress is still progress, keep going :D

[@TuoiNguyen-uz5zi]

distinguish the difference between learning and acquisition. We should be exposed to the target language, listen and read to comprehensible input many times. It is more effective than learning and analyzing the language by memorizing words by flashcard. The input needs to be really compelling so we can practice many times

[@augustusblue4301]

Thanks

[@tommybinson]

Thanks for interesting video. I heard an expert say that we learn by seeing and hearing words repeatedly in sentences. In comparison, studying word lists is inefficient. I can vouch for that advice.

[@chensquared_]

wow I now know another real person who's watched that Stephen Krashen presentation 😂 glad I found this channel. Really enjoying the content you're sharing Bri!

[@BriDoesAI]

thank you!!

[@espanol9498]

It's not extremely low-effort. It's hard to spend time with your TL, trying to have fun, playing games while looking up words etc. It does requires effort and a lot of people will drop learning it bc of it.

[@Junniorcardenas-du3kz]

Gracias al imput puedo entender el 70% de lo que dices aunque no se muy bien hablarlo ya que llevo un mes y medio de práctica thanks a lot

[@ShhhhhNow]

Yep, just started doing this with Olly Richards' books. I'm learning Swedish for real. It was just a few days in and I understood a sentence I'd never seen before.

[@ShhhhhNow]

In time, I'll add in practice with Swedish speakers because I want to not just read it, but also speak it.

[@BriDoesAI]

That’s really cool! I’ve been using LingQ to read and listen a lot in Spanish and my comprehension is increasing so fast. It’s exciting when you can understand something new!

[@uvejspreza9879]

Hej vad bra! I am also learning Swedish, where can I find those books you mention?

[@2012minimeable]

I need a clue to speak correctly. Understanding is ok.

[@Delicacyexplosion]

hola Bri, te amo

[@BriDoesAI]

haha gracias

[@Alezandr]

The thumbnail looks great

[@BriDoesAI]

thank you :)

[@doctorJamal1990]

👍☕

[@lilkimbu2817]

Im lazy as well trust me but when it comes to something i take pride in or want genuine results in then bet yourself I'ma see it through with work. So Please don't push the narrative that people should ignore grammar. If you wanna say they shouldn't dive their heads to deep if they don't wanna okay (tho diving deep is also completely fine), but putting a narrative like this onto alot of learners is bad. People don't just exist around others and learn with no basis most of the time. There's a reason why people who lived in foreign countries for years still speak English because they *never studied*. Tho if this method worked for you and some others then im happy we all are able to learn

[@unbereafigendlic8414]

Sounds like studying to me. LOL

[@BriDoesAI]

unfortunately you cant learn a language by doing nothing lol

[@AwesomeRando]

Spanish is a very fast language.

[@BriDoesAI]

VERY fast

[@darkmaster874]

English is faster than spanish im native speaker believe me

[@lilkimbu2817]

​@@darkmaster874 cap, in English words are pronounced really well in casual conversations like the woman in the video. English is only really fast in very very informal speech or by people with heavy slang. It literally looks like spanish speakers at times are rapping

[@dewittdennis6538]

1st

[@BriDoesAI]

u the best

[@japanese2811]

30 seconds is all it took for me to stop the video... Why on earth would someone think that cursing like that is even remotely appealing? Anyway, thanks, but no thanks - couldn't bear to listen to the rest.

[@PaddingtonSoul]

Impossible. Studying is the only way. Even if you enjoy it and not even realize that you are studying.
