Check out the Ling app here! They have lots of lesser-learned languages and you can practice chatting with their chatbot if you're not yet ready to talk to native speakers. Here's the link: ling-app.com/ling-affilate/?referrer=lindie

@@yolo-sl4yt immersed myself in the language. started by watching children's TV shows. I did 4h studying how to speak English a week and constantly trying to read and understand news etc. the trick is to not try and translate it to your own native language but to visualise it straight away. for example bread for me would be хлеб. so if someone said bread I would translate it to my native language and *then* visualise it. DO NOT DO THAT. bread = 🍞. straight away. it's hard at first but I picked it up so quickly, now I've been in england for about 4 years and I'm loosing my Russian accent.

I'm stanning for an American actor. It's super helpful lol I watch his interviews for 10 times and his movie 50 times so almost memorized all the script lines LOL And whenever I talk with natives I can use those lines!

That’s a great advice! What I also used to do was to translate and create subtitles of my favourite series from English to my Native language when I used to learn English (over 10 years ago/I’m a native Polish speaker). Now I do similar thing but just for myself i.e watching Korean variety shows or series and just actively engaging with translations as opposed to just passively watching. It really helps with learning the expressions in the natural context, remembering them (as I write them down, rewatch the lines over and over) and next time I have to use them it it much easier to recall the context.

Hey Lindie, I think you should check out Journaly! It’s created by another KZbin polyglot (Robin MacPherson) and it’s basically a site where you can make journal entries and native speakers can correct you. You can also choose a wide range of topics to talk about from philosophy, mathematics, literature, and so many more. You can follow people as well so you’re always up to date with their writings. You can also find people who are learning the same language as you as well as native speakers. I haven’t personally used it, but I have checked it out and it looks really promising. Highly suggest you check it out!

Great tips! An idea would be to combine the shadowing with speech-to-text (Google voice typing). In my view, always do a speech exercise over just writing since practicing saying the sentences with speech-to-text will provide immediate feedback as you see what it writes. If you keep saying a word and it has no clue, you are almost guaranteed to have an error.

Thanks so much for making this! I've actually been really thinking about how to practice my speaking skills. It seems lately that I haven't been improving that much, so I decided I need to be talking because I rarely actually speak, just study and memorize vocab words. So this video was really helpful. 👍👍

I've been doing all of the these things while learning English subconsciously (except for talking to chat bots cos there were none existing or that I knew of 😅), and they all definitely work magic! I'm starting to learn German and the process is going so much slower that when I started learning Korean... 😓 I have to study German for a specific reason so I kinda don't have a good mindset yet Thank you for the video 😊 It reminded me that language learning process can actually be sooo much fun, I just have to implement all these positive routines to make me motivated again✨

3:43 min. mark: You are right about awkwardness regarding "talking to yourself" in your study language. For what it is worth: You can also practice your linguistic skills by pretending you are on the phone with someone. It's called "conducting business!" Cheers!

Well, talking to myself is what improved my English. After a year I started thinking in the language even when I wasn't talking to myself and in the presance of other people. And while talking in English. After a couple of years I started dreaming in English. Today it's more of a mother language to me than my mother tongue.

Hi, Lindie! Some recommended Tagalog (Filipino) songs: 1. Bong Gabriel, “Ang Aking Awitin” (My Song) (1978) 2. Asin, “Himig ng Pag-ibig” (Hymn of Love) (1979) 3. Apo Hiking Society, “Batang-bata ka Pa” (You Are Far Too Young) (1980) 4. Gary Granada, “Mabuti Pa Sila” (They Have it Better [Than Me]) 5. Noel Cabangon, “Kanlungan” (Haven) 6. Eraserheads, “Alapaap” (Clouds) (1994) 7. Eraserheads, “Ang Huling El Bimbo” (The Last El Bimbo) (1995) 8. Rivermaya, "Kisapmata" (Blink of the Eye) (1996) 9. Up Dharma Down, “Tadhana” (Fate) (2012) 10. Ben&Ben, “Bibingka” (a rice cake) (2018) I think representative of the local folk music/rock genre. Personally, all are lyrically good and reflects the Filipino sound. Some are immensely popular, and any Filipino would know them, some more obscure but are recognized classics

With Arabic I use the books, which have audio - Easy Arabic Reader, Tales from Kalila Wa Dimna: For Students of Arabic, Arabic Stories For Language Learners after completing the Teach Yourself Arabic and Ultimate Arabic textbooks. I slow down audios to make sure I can understand. I also made soft copies of each text I study to be able to look up words in online dictionaries and Google Translate also helps to get an idea. I use the same technique for learning Korean.
