Just a 13 year old here, after attempting many times to learn Serbian (My dad is Serbian) I'm going to give it a real shot. I have a goal of somewhat fluency (being able to conversate and stuff) by my 14th birthday in like 10.5 months

[@thediphylleiagrayi1425]

Im only halfway done with the video but I got to say the sticking to the one textbook thing makes so much sense! There are so many free resources for Korean (which I have been learning on and off for almost a decade LOL) and because I try to incorporate so many different lessons from various sources, I get SO overwhelmed. Going to definitely minimize the resources I use lol. And I want to learn so many other languages as well but I think sticking to just one or two is better for me because my attention span has dwindled since high school haha. Thank you for these helpful tips!

[@crispinflowers9173]

Can you suggest me some Korean KZbinrs?? Not the ones who are focusing on teach other. Maybe some Korean KZbinrs or something.

Finally someone who's serious about learning

[@UNICORN-bn5uh]

I can speak 15 languages now including Chinese English Malay Korean Japanese Spanish French Italian Portugese German Latin Greek Dutch Swedish and Finnish...languages are all connected to each other...this is actually called second language acquisition...there are 5 hypothesis the Acquisition-Learning hypothesis the Monitor hypothesis the Input hypothesis the Affective Filter hypothesis the Natural Order hypothesis The Acquisition-Learning distinction is the most fundamental of the five hypotheses in Krashen's theory and the most widely known among linguists and language teachers. According to Krashen there are two independent systems of foreign language performance: 'the acquired system' and 'the learned system'. The 'acquired system' or 'acquisition' is the product of a subconscious process very similar to the process children undergo when they acquire their first language. It requires meaningful interaction in the target language - natural communication - in which speakers are concentrated not in the form of their utterances, but in the communicative act. Hope this helps for those who's learning a second language~

[@el3369]

For listening to songs in your target language I noticed that for japanese if you sing along to the lyric versions of songs with Romaji (as long as you know how to properly pronounce it) it improves listening, since as a beginner (at least for me) I have a hard time identifying specific sounds in Japanese and of course pronunciation too! :)

[@victorialim]

What high praise, thank you so much for watching and commenting :’)

[@dakshk3982]

@@victorialim Haha of course. I just finished watching the other video, 'The absolute best way to learn a language' and I actually learned thanks to this and your video, that what I am doing right now is right! I have always been in search of other recourses that are 'the best', while what I am doing right now works perfectly for what I WANT and CAN do. I am learning Korean right now; learning 10 words a day while doing grammar exercises, watching k-dramas and journaling every day. It's just now that I realised that what I am doing, fits my goals of becoming fluent nowhere soon, but hopefully within a couple of years.

[@victorialim]

Sounds like you’re on the right track :) slow and steady wins the race. I think you will also like lindie botes, she has a huge love for Korean! All the best :’)

I Will post one video in my KZbin Chanell, talking in english, if u want u can follow me, my native language is spanish🥺

[@yasmindiniz1308]

This video is just what I needed! Thank you! Just a question: in your process of learning Japanese, do you have a platform that gives you a support or a particular teacher, with constant classes? If yes, did you have any of those in the other languages that you’ve learned? Thanks a LOT! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@victorialim]

Hi Yasmin, when I first started learning in quarantine (for about 2-3 months), I just learnt on my own, with about 2 classes from italki just to talk to a native speaker. After that, I took Japanese in university as a class (although honestly, I think if I just studied on my own using the minna no nihongo textbook, I would’ve learnt the same amount)! For Spanish, I took classes in university for about 1.5 years but I applied a lot of the things I mentioned in this video (especially comprehensible input and output) to get really good! Hope this helps :)

[@yasmindiniz1308]

@@victorialim This helps a lot! Thank you!

[@marialharesleron342]

Now I'm learning Japanese and I already met a lot of Japanese people in my social media acc. I exposed my self to them, I listened everyday even I can't understand them but when the days goes by I think I understand them a little and sometimes I tried to talk to them and I think it really helps me to improve :)

[@victorialim]

Great job 👏🏻!!

[@MariJadeWrites]

I am Lithuanian, I know English well enough to watch movies/tv shows without subs and read long books and talk with strangers in the language. I also know a little Russian but can't read long texts or understand everything being said to me. I've been studying Spanish before, but haven't touched it in a while. But my biggest priority right now is to learn Japanese. I have spoken to two native Japanese women once in Lithuania, and it was nice. I can't read Japanese yet, currently learning hiragana and katakana and some simple kanji. I know some vocabulary, and understand most of anime without subs, although I do watch it with English subs as well. I keep a notebook and I am starting with Japanese from Zero, watching videos in Japanese and listening to songs daily. Thank you for this video, Victoria. :)

[@victorialim]
