[@Aprender_idiomass]

Which dialogue you follow ? Do you know any series with subtitle and transcript ?

[@LeMondedeCarla04]

@@Aprender_idiomass Hi I'm learning Russian too and I advise you the KZbin channel named "Be fluent in Russian" and especially the listening playlist. There are both Russian and English subtitles, and what you can do is to watch the video a few times (what I usually do is that I listen to it 2 times without subtitles, then 2 times more with Russian ones and finally switch to English) and then open the transcript on the KZbin website (doesn't work on the app), copy and paste both the text and translation in a excel file, print it and learn all the new vocabulary! I really feel like it's helping me a lot to improve, especially as I create flashcards thanks to Anki not to forget anything ;) Hope it'll help

[@tiamabderezai5374]

I'm so impressed when I saw your German video and how you studied law in Germany! I've never lived there but I enjoy learning the language and would like to learn it to a level where I could read and understand the basic Grundgesetz der Bundesrepublik.

[@YogaBlissDance]

AT 7:40 Luca Lampariello said same thing, reading too soon without hearing the sounds also messed him up with Swedish.

[@prakhargoyal1799]

My goal is to learn: all nordic languages + irish. Currently learning danish and irish together. There are so many times I just either mixed up danish with irish and vice versa or forget the vocab. But your videos uplifts and make me believe that it is possible. Keep us uplifted and motivated 👍🙏

[@ermirdestani]

Man if you start learning danish and irish together than you will learn nothing from them. Just focus in one language.

[@YogaBlissDance]

Lina one thing in English we say "Man-DAH-rin" emphasis is on middle syllable NOT the last one.

[@LinaVasquezOfficial]

English varies vastly, and as a native speaker, in Australia we actually commonly use both styles of pronunciation.

[@davidbrouwers7309]

Reading out loud is a very useful but overlooked tool, it practices reading, speaking, pronunciation AND understanding/vocabulary enhancement Keep it at your level, start with small dialogues and as you advance build up, if you use study books the dialogues in there work perfectly

[@kaitlynabroad]

OKAY THAT INTRO YASSSS so professional, i love! Such such helpful tips! Consistency is definitely key, I agree that creating simple, measurable goals and not overwhelming yourself with so many resources will help. Once I break through Italian a bit more, I want to return to Dutch

@@LinaVasquezOfficial I looked at that website... I can see you have to buy 5 languages bundle which doesn't make sense

[@daysandwords]

THE DK AUDIO AND BOOK PACK ACTUALLY HELPED YOU!? I am blown away by that haha, because I have 3 of those (Chinese, French and Spanish) and the content in them is so funny that I did a whole video that was basically just comedy based on the phrases in those books haha. Seriously though, I am glad it helped you, not saying anything against the method, I'm just amazed it worked for someone.

[@chipschneipps609]

I want to learn swedish, but i don't know how and where to start as there's no videos teaxhing the pronunciation... Please give me an advice

[@LinaVasquezOfficial]

Yes - this was almost 10 years ago though, haha! It was the very first thing I used when I knew absolutely nothing and it was helpful in terms of pronunciation and learning basic conversational phrases. I would practice using the phrases and obviously didn’t just use one resource but any stage of language learning was supplemented by a mixture of things.

I found an interesting use for Google translate. I was watching a YT video, in English by an Aussie expat, and he uttered a phrase in Spanish that I did not understand. I listened carefully then spoke the same Spanish phrase into Google translate and I received an accurate translation. Spanish is my "poor cousin" in language learning as most of my efforts go into learning other foreign languages.

[@AfroLinguo]

That is so me!!! I used google translate when learning German, and now, I use it to learn Mandarin. People say translation is bad for language learning, but I did it for German and Mandarin, and today I am fluent. Which other foreign languages do you learn?

Veja bastante vídeos em português sobre assuntos que te interessam, mesmo que no início não entenda muita coisa. E em paralelo estude vocabulário e gramática e continue assistindo vídeos (você vai perceber que aos poucos vai começar a entender o que está sendo falado, mesmo que no início sejam poucas palavras). E depois comece a imitar, falar, escreva pequenos diálogos... Watch a lot of videos in Portuguese about subjects that interests you, even though you don't understand much at the beggining. Study vocabulary and grammar but keep watching videos (you will realize that little by little you will understand what have been said, even if at the beggining were just few words). An then start to imitate, write small dialogues...

[@aubs965]

I have always had a love for learning languages, but one of my biggest struggles has been with what languages i need to learn first. I have slowly been getting better with this, and getting myself to understand i CAN learn as many languages as i want, but knowing that i need to start with one or at most, 2 languages. I need to understand that it is a process, and not something that just happens. I wouldnt gain any progress if i tried learning 4 languages at a time, or at least, it would be very slow progress. I learned Italian for 4 years during my high school years, but stopped practicing for many years after. I also learned swedish for about a year, last year, but stopped putting ny focus on that. I still want to learn Italian and Swedish, but i have decided to hold off for a while and instead put my focus on German and Spanish. I have been learning German in university and at home for 6 months now because i love the language, and i learn Spanish at home because many people spesk it where I live. I have been using the Mango language app and it is honestly the absolute best language app i have ever come across. There are tons of languages available on there, and while it is amazing for all levels, it is especially helpful for beginners. I love that you simply listen/read, and repeat. I have noticed my German significantly improve after using this! I plan to pick up Italian and Swedish again after i am at least at a high intermediate level for both Spanish and German. Lina I always look forward to your language videos and I always feel so motivated afterwards! Thank you so much ♡♡♡

[@brigc7755]

Agreed, I'm going to be focusing on French Japanese & Korean and once I've gotten good at those THEN I can move onto both mandarin & Cantonese & spanish I would have 0 time for the rest of my life if i tried learning all of them at once XD

[@aubs965]

@@brigc7755 hahaha i think we are the same in learning languages 😂 unfortunately no matter how bad we want to learn so many different languages, its best to stick with no more than 3 lol. All i know for sure right now is i need to focus on Spanish and learn with my kids, and once i feel really comfortable with that, then i need to decide if i want to pour more time into either Italian, Swedish or German (though i hope to learn all of those eventually). Im leaning towards learning Italian next for emotional reasons but i honestly think German is much more useful and i also like the language. I am so bipolar with learning languages! Lol but i think if i spend a lot of time on one language right now and just a little bit on the other languages i can decide what to do next when the time is right
