My easy language learning routine for low energy days | With resources

[@Sam-shushu]

This low energy stuff *is* my entire routine lol. this is high energy for me

[@theshamy6573]

Exactly, all input, no grammar exercises, following the Krashen theory and the way of Steve Kaufmann and other polyglots who use the 'comprehensible input' method.

[@LeelooBastet]

@@theshamy6573 I didn't know that I was using the Krashen theory until I read your comment. It is a natural way of learning to me :)

[@peachy__pg]

obviously i’m not happy about you having chronic pain issues, but as someone who is disabled and also has chronic pain issues, i’m happy to see how you still learn even when you feel bad, i’m always to hard on myself about not feeling like learning as much as i’d like.

[@LindieBotes]

I know what you mean about being hard on yourself. I took a few months off and feel bad about it but I am trying to ease back in. It's definitely an uphill battle and every day is different. I wish you all the best!!

[@LindieBotes]

Do you guys prefer a sit-down-and-talk video or these kinds of daily life vlog chatty videos? 💕💕

[@Meyra_]

Videolarını her zaman keyifle izliyorum. Kitaplığını da beğendim çünkü oryantal motifleri var! (practicing my Turkish with you, had to look some stuff on google aah I totally forgot that kitaplık is bookshelf) Do whatever makes you happy, I enjoy any format, really. And a small question regarding the short stories series.. They have the exact same stories translated in all languages or each language has their own?

[@LindieBotes]

@@Meyra_ Each book has its own unique stories!

[@jbp246]

Personally, I prefer sit-down-and-talk videos, because the audio quality is better and it's more efficient

[@Darkslide820]

This style is good. More authentic, and a good change of pace.

[@user-dz5vd2fe4v]

J’aime bien les deux ! J’ai apprécié la vidéo, merci 😊

[@SherryOsborne]

These are all great tips! When I 'm having a low energy day but still want to practice, I'll "complain" to myself about all the things that are bugging me, using Korean vocabulary to describe that I'm tired, or how I feel, what hurts, etc. Narrating my day is pretty natural for me now, so it helps hold my status quo until I feel better. Speaking of which, I hope you are feeling better by now!

[@busetopaloglu4259]

I am so happy that you are learning Turkish as a Turkish follower! Your pronunciation is so good. Good luck with your Turkish journey ❤

[@rimenahi]

Evet telaffüzü fena değil gerçekten de. Kendisine başarılar diliyorum.

[@RobertHeslop]

I pretty much do a lot of the passive learning when I'm not sat studying as intense as usual, like watching a TV show in Thai or Korean, listening to music, going through flashcards that I made and reviewing them etc. Side-note, I hope you're feeling somewhat better now as you mentioned antibiotics. Feel well soon!

[@한글과한국어HangeulandKo]

We support your efforts. 귀하의 노력을 응원합니다.

[@hopegate9620]

It's really nice to see a video about this topic, as it's often not talked about. Since I have chronic fatigue, some days (or weeks) I'm just not able to do any active learning. For me when I'm too tired I'll only watch tvseries with subtitles. And for Korean, where I'm still between beginner and intermediate level, I'll watch with English subtitles. That way I still hear the language and pick up a few things, but I can still rest my mind as well. Another thing is I'll only listen to accents that I'm comfortable with. And for Duolingo I absolutely agree that sometimes it can get too complex for such days so instead I focus on the pronunciation/alphabet tab.

[@TheCudlitz]

I feel like this video was made for me 😂. It's exactly what I needed at this point in my life. Also, well produced video! Congrats.

[@dwaalling95]

Hope you get well soon. Seeing your persistence really inspires me and others too, I'm sure!

[@sept2039]

why does your lütfen sound so perfect😭i knew you would nail the turkish pronounciaton so i'm not that surprised tbh. bu arada geçmiş olsun

[@francegamble1]

I have ME/CFS, so I do a lot of passive learning. Loved this video.

[@ShawnHumphrey]

This resonates with me so much. I maintain a 2 hour language learning regime five days of the week; Fridays I review the language I've focused on, Saturdays are a "fun" language dive, any of the languages I have an interest in but that I'm not every serious about I review. Those two days are very, very passive and chill. But even on those five days, I find passive learning techniques to be very helpful in helping me maintain my learning goals - and keeping me interested in continuing!

[@_reeshu_]

As someone with an intense job and mental health issues, I definitely resort to passive learning, especially podcasts because shows are too intense for me. Also, I know you probably weren't feeling well, but when in the car, try not to wear clips because if you're ever (God forbid) in an accident, it can seriously damage your neck or the back of your head. I've forgotten it too, but thought you should know.

[@LindieBotes]

Oh claw clips? Wow I had no idea! Thank you!

[@_reeshu_]

@@LindieBotes yeah I think any kind of clip with metal or plastic bits. It's just one of those things that I think no one thinks about until it (again God forbid) happens or someone tells us.

[@musikhamster01]

As a person with three chronic illnesses this video is amazing! Many great advices so thank you very much! Something I like to do is reading int the languages I'm studying or also watching KZbin videos because those are usually short enough for me to be doable.

[@Ebyssr]

I’m another who’s dealing with a chronic fatigue type illness and some days I just can’t focus enough to do textbook work or watch my usual content, so I drop down a level or two for those days. Usually comprehensible input type videos that are short and a level below what I would normally listen to. This allows for immersion without asking the brain to do much work and it helps to consolidate the rhythms/patterns/syntax/vocabulary etc.

[@greenmuffin32]

I really appreciate you sharing these tips with us, even when you are not feeling well. I hope you are feeling better! Thanks for sharing.

[@sarahnichols4253]

Great tips! I'm sorry about your health issues and pray you have full healing in your body and have a healthy and thriving body❤

[@SeaboltSpeaks]

Love the updates Lindie! Thank you for sharing with us

[@LindieBotes]

Thanks for watching!

[@lanlin8267]

So sorry you're feeling so unwell, hope you feel much better soon. I'm on a very long and slow journey to learning Chinese and every little bit of motivation and 'slow' day, helps relax my brain and I recall the words much more clearly, so thank-you so much for contributing to that :D

[@jadenlightnight7695]

I was looking for ways like this for casual language learning on a daily routine. To also go along w/ my regular studies. Great 👍 video. 😊

[@enzasada]

Dankie dat jy dit deel! Dis ongelooflik behulpsaam!

[@techside1608]

This is very helpful and timely. I've been feeling really down and so I'd neglect my language learning which makes me feel even worse and so on. I started watching some fun Netflix series that I watched before and liked but this time in my target language. It ends up lifting my mood and I learn a lot of new words too! I hope you feel better soon, your channel is a real gem💎

[@teresita.lozada]

I like your routine. Similar to mine. The recalling words activity looks interesting to me. Thank you once again and get well soon!.

[@zetnikoven]

When I feel low energy I watch your videos and reaching my daily satisfaction level lol

[@patchy642]

Isle of Tenerife, Spain, Africa. Brilliant, Lindie! Thanks for the tips. I'll need to start implementing them now, for my Frisian. Your French pronunciation is EXCELLENT, by the way. Best wishes, Patchy.

[@noemi8872]

I hope you stay helathy and become better soon❤remember God loves you:)so do we😊

[@natashakosolapova2812]

I really like your bookshelves! 😍 I don't want to be presumptuous but may I recommend a book to you? It's for women who go through a personal hell and it helps a lot (speaking from experience). The book is Descent to the Goddess by Sylvia Brinton Perera. It's about finding parallels through myths and it brings not exactly a relief from pain but more of an inner understanding of the journey. Even in hell we can find little helpers and there is even a promise of coming back to the surface eventually. Sending hugs to you from universally hated Russia! ❤ And thank you for the great video! 😊

[@mebeasensei]

My mega-peak-energy-super-turbo-injected days are approaching your semi-coma-super-chill-listless-moments for intensity, focus and sense of purpose. Nevertheless, I still get encouraged seeing you. Even today, that message about those podcasts as well as readers and seeing your bookshelf, knowing I struggle daily with the Sotame Japanese series, connects me to that . THanks as always.

[@ydalir]

I agree that listening is best for these sorts of low level days, and thankfully, as you mentioned, I think it remains one of the best techniques for language learning just generally! Logging off my general KZbin account nd gonna go do some immersing.. 👀👀

[@lobofelipelobo]

Learn a language spend years and sometimes I haven't any motivation to study, but I have to find another reason to keep lerning.

[@loraivanova8635]

I decided to watch that video just for motivation but the fact that you were learning Turkish was a great "gift" to me because I'm focusing on my Turkish and Greek now. Btw if you're looking for good Turkish dramas my favourite ones are Küçük sırlar, Yüksek sosyete, Gönülçelen, Yasak Elma, Kavak yelleri, Öyle bi geçer zaman ki...

[@SpartanLawyer]

Get well soon! And thanks for the Language Reactor tip. It'll help with my Russian for sure

[@OzkAltBldgCo-bv8tt]

Besides using your phone to check to see if you're saying the word right you could also maybe use a translator pin? Or use the translator pin to scan words in the books

[@ingela_injeela]

I live a low energy life always, with severe fatigue and brain fog. Yet, I've been able to immerse myself in the languages of my choice, by repeatedly watching the same series/movie, until I almost know it by heart. This is my "lazy" way of acquiring a new language, as I don't have the capacity to study in the traditional sense.

[@jackcurson877]

Szia kedves Lindie! Nagyon motiváló minden videód! De van 3 nagy kérdésem, aminek a megoldásávban csak TE segíthetsz : 1. Vannak-e kedvenc szavaid, és ha igen, melyik nyelvi mi az ?? 2.Olvastad valaha Arany János : Toldi című versét? Mi róla a véleményed ? 3. Vannak kedvenc koltőid és/vagy íróid? Melyik nyelven, és kik azok ? :o

I know this isn't related to the video but I was just curious about rather or not you know Esperanto? Esperanto is one of the languages I was thinking about learning so just curious.

[@LindieBotes]

Hi! No I have never had enough interest in it, but I have read up a lot and learned a few words, but nothing more than that. I hope you enjoy it if you choose to learn it!

[@ss9O]

@@LindieBotes Oh, ok. Also I have another question if you're willing to answer it, are you thinking about learning any other constructive languages, like say Toki Pona which has a 100 or so word vocabulary or Lojban a language based entirely on predicate logic? And I don't want to take away from your time so this is my final question for you, are you interested in making your own language?

[@Trantrungduc584]

[@zourou319]

I didn't know you were learning Turkish. How far along are you? There's definitely a lot of good Turkish shows. Erkenci Kuş is pretty good. Really funny.
