How to Use YouTube to Learn a New Language

[@Eruptor1000]

Tip: Create a separate youtube account and only subscribe to channels in the language you want to learn, this helps so you don't have your content mixed up.

[@LucaLampariello]

Great suggestion =)

[@JamalAhmadMalik]

Pauses vid, takes screen shot and enlarges just to see what Assimil titles there are: Greek, Turkish, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese... What else is he reading? Oh yeh, The Martian - great movie. Deletes pic and returns to vid 🤣🤣🤣

[@BooBoo-pu1jh]

Same. Not even 10 seconds into it and reading comments

[@mariom2386]

To summarize the entire video! 1. Choose your content 2. Watch the video and rewatch it multiple times. 1a: Put video in full screen, watch and rewatch - watch the entire video 2b: Focusing on the English subtitles 3c: Focusing on the Spanish subtitles 4d: Watch it and write down, things you don’t know or expressions you would like to search up. 5e: Watch the entire video to fully understand it. 3. Save what you have learnt!

[@nicnierozumiem852]

I follow a very similar process as Luca but one very important step for me is to "sleep on it". After 2 - 3 days, I come back to that same video and re-watch without subtitles. My comprehension is even better than at the end of the first day and I find it rewarding and a great motivational tool.

The summarize: 1. Pick the content of your interest (you focus in the message more than the language itself, so you unconsciously learn the language TO UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE) 2. Watch the video first in the target language, then rewind it now focusing on your mother language. -Take your time to write down the vocabulary you find interesting. -Watch the video again once you gathered some word, phrases, etc. 3. Make sure you save your notes into a logbook in order to review them later or consult a lesson in case your don't remember something. -It also reminds you of the amazing work you've made and keeps you motivated.

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

This is an excellent way to learn foreign languages. My method is similar. I learn the structure of some sentences by heart, and then I try to formulate other sentences with the same structure. For example My sister lives in Spain with her daughter- I learnt this sentence by heart- Now, it's my turn to formulate another phrase based on the same structure. My brother lives in Germany with his dog. The sentence is the same, but I changed some words. Vocabulary is crucial. There are no shortcuts. You have to learn words by heart. Words in many sentences, not isolate words like in School.

[@cerenademe9433]

That's what I've been doing - when I take notes, I make a note of phrases, rather than individual words (most of the time), then I do what you do and try to mix it up and see if it works. Another thing I do is mimic the person speaking - it helps me to get a grasp on the infection and cadence of the language, as well as give me an opportunity to practice pronunciation. :)

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

Cerenade Me I recommend Reverso to you. I like this tool because you can see one word in many sentences. You learn words by context,plus, you can compare your target language and your native language. Mimic is great to improve your spoken skills,but not you written skills.

[@bijanf.6351]

You don't have to concentrate on sentences first, vocabulary is the most crucial and all the other stuff falls into place with practice once you have alot of words. Trying to learn grammar and make complicated sentences If your vocab is limited is more useless than useful.

[@Theyoutuberpolyglot]

Bijan F. It is not about grammar. It is about structures that I can use in my life. I learn them by heart ( a couple of mocking sentences). I have to be able to make up other sentences. It is about indirect grammar, not direct grammar. Intuitive grammar, not boring grammar like school. Translation helps a bit as well. Words without knowing how to use them is pointless. Learn words in sentences. Don’t treat the language as if the language were your native language.

[@bijanf.6351]

@@Theyoutuberpolyglot thanks for your kind reply we all have different approaches sorry to be negative in my previous reply.

@Al 72 @Al 72 I found this to be a very interesting and useful approach while studying Russian with spanish lessons (i'm italian). That's because when i watch contents in a foreign language my brain enters in a kind of learning mood and as a result i unexpectedly follow the videos more efficiently.

[@mothman84]

I gave up on tracking my progress, saving vocabulary, etc. for one very simple reason: I've done that for years, but the fact is I've hardly ever gone back to look at the material again. So now, I learn what I learn, don't learn what I don't learn, grudgingly accept that I have little or no control over what gets deposited in my long-term memory anyway, and that's that. The idea of having notes you can go back to is still great, but to me it's 99% added stress, 1% perceived profit.

[@marvelenia6702]

I think that is very personal, it depends on how your brain works and how it adds content to your long term memory. I can relate to what you are saying totally. I need NEW content every time I learn because otherwise it gets boring very fast and I loose interest. That does not mean I know everything, but it does mean I need what I learnt in new context, like in new magazines. books or videos or so.

[@hassanfathi3972]

The process of making notes in and of itself is useful to helping you learn more effectively.

[@hasoonnine]

Studies have shown that when you write notes down, it stays more in your head, so even if you don't go back to it, you're still making your life easier

[@mothman84]

Yes, anything you do helps in some measure. The question is, does it help as much as some other exercise you're _not_ doing, which might be more effective as well as more enjoyable.

[@pritalbamnodkar2620]

@@hasoonnine according to a research paper by Dunlosky, Note taking is a low utility study technique.

Awesome advice. I appreciate that you point out that the "Easy" Languages channels are really more for intermediate to advanced learners.

I'd love to see a video focus on ways to improve speaking skills when you don't have access to native speakers. Nothing is worse than when somebody speaks to me in Spanish and I can't say anything meaningful back because my brain melted :/

Hi Luca. I was very excited about your video on "How to use KZbin to learn..." . I'm used to watch youtube content to learn russian. I learn that I should take notes. But I expected that you taklk about the "Open transcript" button (In the 3 dots, near the Share/Save buttons ) ! It amazingly usefull : i can copy easily the words to get a translation.

Oh, and all the hours my Hungarian family would talk and I would sit there like a carrot, enjoying the food.

Thanks Luca! I must say, your English accent/pronunciation is amazing. Practically native sounding. One word that I noticed in this video that was pronounced kinda odd was the word "recommendation". If you put more emphasis on the first syllable("REC") of the word, it may sound more natural. Thanks again!

[@LucaLampariello]

Thanks man! I love comments like these ones because they help me refine my pronunciation. I have found this on Wordrefrence www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=recommendation [ˌrɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən] If I got it right, there is primary and secondary stress. In my own, simpler way to mark things phonetically the word would look like this REcommenDAtion, and I pronounce it like this: recommenDATtion.

[@Teri_Berk]

:) After you pointed out to the pronunciation of 'recommendation' I've listened with particular attention and yes he says it a bit off but really just a bit off. Another word which I noticed he pronounces slightly off is 'around' but again really slightly off. He seems to overpronounce the 'a' :)

Hi, Luca! I always get inspired by your videos! My question is: What do you think about these steps? 1. Watch the video to get the whole picture 2. translate the subtitles, write the new and interesting words down 3. watch again (2-3 times) with more understanding because of translation before, pay attention to the new words 4. watch without subtitles 5. watch again, stop the video after each sentence, or a part of the sentence, and try to write down what you listen to 6. retell the context of the video by using the new words on this way you train at the same time 4 competence of the language, reading, listening, writing (just helps to improve listening skills), speaking I would like to hear want do you think about it :)

Usually learning a language by using youtube subtitles in targeted language has helped some but not everyone a better way to learn a language is by immersing yourself there in the country and try to speak to them, you don't need to write the words down just use a dynamic language immersion method but in experience kind of like Rosetta stone but "there."

[@Solidar1994]

Oh God, how could I miss this vid?! Great advices, as always! It's gonna be a real game changer in my language learning!

[@wallacesansanoski8185]

First all thumbs up because your effort you help people learn a language , second advice come from someone that already speak other language , you know it is more easy to say than done , any way this really work well despite people have your own methods to learn ...

[@tabestorm5339]

Thanks. That was very helpful. Some other physical tips are: Eat an apple or another fruit to have a good concentration and stay hydrated.

[@osonhodeleon]

KZbin is my home to learn languages.

[@m17434]

Thank you. You have touched on something I struggle with: repetition!

[@bobbysayasane3413]

Wow very useful information. This was indeed some good language learning. Thank you Sir Luca!

[@Hacker250198]

Hey Luca! I do basically the same thing but also l'd like to suggest a great app called Reverso Context. It allows you to simultaneously translate built in subtitles on KZbin, if you hover your mouse above(over the words). I prefer to do the so called "semantic mapping" when I try to associate the meaning and the sound of the word in the process of listening (simultaneously). something like trying to grasp it and let go, I believe that our brain doesn't actually forget anything and when you return to it later you'll remember it easier. Передаю привет из России! Вас здесь тоже смотрят.

[@solea59]

Simply the best advice ever !

[@williamedwardhackman4695]

Great video. I'm glad your learning Hungarian. The language that I'm learning on KZbin right now is Spanish. It isn't the only lanuage that want to learn but I'm giving a start. After I become fluent in speaking Spanish. I was thinking about learning Mandarin Chinese and French.

[@wikeajah6421]

Hello William. Maybe you want learning Indonesia language (Bahasa Indonesia) I am from Indonesia.

[@williamedwardhackman4695]

@@wikeajah6421 No Thank you I live in the USA in California, and most spoken languages in the USA are English, Spanish, Mandarin Chinese and French. There's not that many people in the USA that speaks Indonesian so no thank you.

Gracias Señor Lampariello. Me encanta este video. Saludos desde Dinamarca.

Really enjoyed this video. Great to see you break everything down even to your body position. A small thing but it is the attention to detail that matters.

[@matthewbitter532]

Hey Luca, I don’t know if it’s realistic to look for videos that have subtitles in English and in target language. For the language Im learning (Amharic) most videos don’t even have subtitles at all considering its so much work to include them. This may work only for major languages like Spanish or Russian but not for Amharic or Swahili (which I’m learning). What should one do if they can’t find any videos with subtitles at all?

[@gergokovacs5231]

Éppen nem rég kezdtem el használni az Easy German videókat ugyanilyen céllal, viszont eddig csak passzívan nézegettem őket. Tetszik ahogy többször visszanézted a videókat más-más célt szeme lőtt tartva, illetve hogy a végén az összegyűlt szavak gondosan elraktad. Köszi a tippeket! ^^

[@ertk115]

I've begun to watch cartoons in spanish because it's both comprehensible, short, has subtitles in the target language and is frankly something that i'd rather watch. Watching videos specifically produced to try and help you learn the language, in my opinion, doesn't help much and is really boring. I started in august last year and 4 months in, I can confirm that it's a pretty good way of doing it. I can understand a lot more now and my grades have gone up significantly in school, but I still can't speak the language with confidence.

[@ivanzq21]

*you motivated to learn a new language Luca, thanks a lot, do not stop making these kind of videos, cheers* 👍

[@chadbailey7038]

I’ve revisited this video many times 🙏🏾

[@brianpalas]

This is a strategy that I never came across. I might use it to help learn some languages. Most of the Germanic languages I wish to learn produce a lot of music videos with lyrics, so that may be an alternative to the "Easy Series" you had shown in the video. Thanks for the great video!

[@nick624179]

KZbin is quite helpful. I look phrases up, write them down, and then practice them with the language speakers. Worked well for me :)

[@gboundrapa]

I really like this kind of videos! Practical and straight to the point! I'd love to watch more of those and some videos with contents that we can use in a variety of languages... When we start a language, the first problem is to find interesting content in the target language.... Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@billyriedel6449]

Currently, I learn Dutch and find many KZbinrs that I like to watch in Dutch. Two big things I like to watch are Kinderen voor Kinderen and Junior Songfestival. I personally don't find a lot of content on youtube in Dutch that has subtitles, but I do find programs in Dutch that have subtitles in Dutch on Dutch websites.

[@diegorojas8187]

I learn English watching your videos bro. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@espacointuitivo_conversas]

Hey there! Your video came to my attention when I was checking out the videos of "The Language Worker" here on KZbin!

[@GypsieSeeker]

I saw the Paradox of Choice mentioned in the description, but not the video. I think this is the single biggest problem for language learners - giving up, because they think they aren’t learning as fast as they “should be”.

[@maletsiri3154]

Thanks for the tips....time stamp 01.04.2021..I AM CHALLENGING MYSELT TO LEARN FRENCH WITHIN A YEAR...will give an update next year.

[@igyartoszabolcs1252]

Btw it was mentioned in the video that people weren't aware of the fact that they were being interviewed for a language learning channel. The reason I think it's not true is because Im a native Hungarian speaker, so I could hear that people spoke a little bit slower, they used an easier language, and they didn't really think about their answer. In most interviews people tend to think and then answer in a natural tone.

[@tonguesinc.8233]

I have much love for Easy Languages, but damn I have heard that jam at the beginning of the episodes five billions times.
