[@IkennaLanguages]

If any of you really want to learn a language but don't know where to start. I highly recommend to check out my book that's linked above. It's truly the book I wish I had when I first started to teach myself languages. It explains everything. Where to start, what to expect, all the best resources to use, common mistakes to avoid and it's 10x as motivational as this video :)

[@chloewatson1018]

I think this video is amazing and has definitely caught my attention and showed me how fast progression is achievable. However, I’m curious. I already have a book called Fluent Forever which focuses on learning languages rather than a specific language instead. I’m sure you’ve explored other books in the market to see how yours compares. Would you say in comparison to Ie Fluent Forever your book is more in depth in terms of materials and exercises or is it literally an overview for any language. I know the title says any language but as you learnt french and this is the language I’m attempting I’m hoping it is more focused on that.

[@IkennaLanguages]

It's applicable to any language. But it's certainly more of a practical guide than Fluent Forever. My book is 80 pages and covers all the essentials. I detail a bit of my story and my journey with each language but except for that part of it, it's all practical, applicable tips and learning techniques. Fluent Forever is around 300 pages if I remember correctly and is a bit more focused on history, and theory vs. immediate practical application. My book would certainly be perfect for if you're learning French. It's applicable to all languages, but it essentially functions as a guide. Which covers what resources to use at every step of the journey, what to expect mentally, how long each step should take, etc. It really outlines the A -> B -> C to learning a new language.

Achraf Danke!

[@leiton5541]

Share your fucking tecniques

[@elidrissilahcen5897]

Victoria Rodriguez no need to be rude. There is not a universal “technique”. The first step is the prononciation, watch videos and and practicing pronouncing each letter ( I usually don’t practice prononciation as Arabic has a wide range of phonetics which makes it easier to grasp new sounds at first try). Next would be the vocabulary, I always rely on newspapers for new vocabulary and memorize each word by heart, others may have different methods. Third is grammar which I started with before jumping to vocabulary when I started learning German ( which is unusual for some), that way I know the differences and similaires of the language to the languages I speak. French is similar to Spanish in terms of sentence construction, but more emphasized on details ( genders, number, subordination...), English is similar to German in term of vocabulary, the grammar is way more complex and surpasses French in terms of cases and exceptions but it has logic to it. So what I want to say, choose a language based on the ones you speak already ( indogermanic, Romance languages...), try to understand the structure of the language rather than relying on direct translations ( which won’t be correct most of the time) and practice using basic sentences, an online translator and a dictionary. Last is your motivation, no matter how frustrating it gets, don’t give up and juste take a break, let your mind rest and compile whatever you have learned already, get back to learning only when you’re feeling relax and able to receive new imput. I hope I answered your question. Good luck!

Si les français pouvaient arrêter de décourager tout ceux qui voudraient apprendre notre langue... Le français a une grammaire beaucoup plus classique (= qu'on retrouve dans beaucoup d'autres langues) que l'anglais et beaucoup moins de phonèmes différents (donc prononciation plus simple). Je ne dis pas que c'est une langue facile mais simplement qu'elle a, comme toutes les langues, des aspects plus simples et d'autres plus compliqués ; à vous entendre, on dirait que seuls des génies peuvent espérer maîtriser le français. To the people who would like to study French : don't listen to the ones who say it's too difficult; all you need is motivation. French has a quite common grammar, less different sounds than English and no real accentuations, but the spelling and the conjugations can be tricky. All I'm saying is that each languages has its difficulties and its facilities. Also, the difficulty really depends on your mother tongue and on how far it is from French (eg. Italian speakers will find it easier than English speakers). I think those advices are suitable for every language you'd like to learn.

This video is super inspiring! I’ve been learning Spanish for a month now, but really want to learn French so I’m very anxious right now to finish up my Spanish and learn French but I also don’t want to rush Spanish but want to learn French so badly now, but don’t want to give up on Spanish.

[@grace-hm9ij]

why are so many people learning Japanese

[@cloudiii9543]

@@grace-hm9ij I dont know about other people. But Originally i wanted to learn a language with a different writing system for a challenge and also because i though it would be cool to see the writing and actually make words out of the characters. And also to be able to read and write stuff that other people couldnt. Chinese looked and sounded a little too difficult and so i settled on japanese and just decided to learn it for fun. Though now that i look at it im not really sure what i would do with the language if i do spend the time to actually learn it. Wonder if i should start learning chinese?? 😂😂

[@mktwins4915]

This motivated me to learn French too. Am algerian and I could easily say the majority of Algerians speak French but I dot cuz I don't live their. Whenever I visit people speak in French to me and I've to awkwardly tell them I don't understand. Funny enough my mom is a French teacher. I've just always procrastinated but had it in the back of my head but now I'll do it haha.

It took me almost a year to be confident enough to start a Japanese conversation. The hardest step to any language is the fact of starting. Every new language would be unknown and it may seem hard, once you know how does it work, it gets easy, then at some certain point, your mind begins thinking in that language instead of being translating every word. That's the time when you can actually start talking by your own.

[@FlyyinngxChlooee]

That's cool ! especially if you know at least one other latin language it helps a LOT for the other ones ! :) There are many words that look similar in one or two languages so the more you know the more it is easier for the others ! For example : "butter" in French is beurre, burro in Italian, Mantequilla in Spanish, Manteiga in Portugese. There's romanian as well but I think because it's so close to Russia it evolves differently it's a tad bit harder

For real. French is my second language. I started learning it when I was 6, and for six years from grade 7 to 12 I was in a French school. Which means for six years, 5 days a week, I'd go to class for 6-7 hours and use French exclusively. English is my third language, but I only really got into it at around 16. Three years later at 19 my English and French were on par. A year later now and I'm actually more comfortable speaking English than French.
