Tips on Self-Teaching Languages! How I learnt 7 languages

[@noodlery7034]

1) Start from scratch 2) Consistency 3) Dont be perfectionist 4) Prepare for the official exam 5) Get as much input as possible from movies, dramas, talk shows, etc

[@1polonium210]

To that list, I would add: Do NOT become obsessed with grammar, especially in the early stages of a language program! If you focus on grammar, rather than listening/speaking, you will become bogged down in details that will hinder you acquisition of a language. You will learn rules of grammar as you progress in your study.

[@sleepsmartsmashstress740]

Watch music videos in the target langage. It is how I do this I just watch hot girls dance, I pick up the languages as a side effect

At the outset even one world in a whole sentence is good enough then you get to pick up two and thee and finally in a few years the whole line, that is how infants master their native language.

[@dajva4735]

Such great tips! Consistency is extremely important, but a lot of people don't get that. Do not give up. Learning a foreign language can be hard, having a strong accent or making a lot of mistakes is okay. Listening to native speakers helps a lot to improve our pronunciation. That's how we almost don't really feel an accent when I speak a foreign language. Korean is my next language!! Thank you for that great video. Take care 🙂

[@mylangs]

Well said!!! exactly! :D

[@kurootsuki3326]

Also it sounds like your English accent has improved in just a few months which is awesome!!!

[@worshipthecomedygodseoeunk4010]

my biggest issue with self study is less speaking practice. being a korean adoptee, i grew up with 0 exposure to korean. yet for some reason, koreans ive met like to laugh at me when i make mistakes. because i mostly self studied, im not used to practicing with other people, and so i was really frustrated when i would make mistakes and get made fun of to my face. like wow....its great to see what koreans actually think of a korean adoptee trying to make an effort to reconnect with their heritage.

[@HelloThere-lo3qi]

try vrchat hehe, im still super beginner rn and i learnt a lot by playing the game..

[@jkorigami5462]

I really liked this video, high level of grammatical accuracy and clear and succinct communication. Native English speakers often struggle with maintaining a sustained level of clear communication because we get too caught up in the nuances of register and pragmatics, so this was great to see for a change. I might not agree with everything discussed in the video, but all the points were made extremely well. Great job!

[@hachi3383]

This motivated me!! Been studying a language that made me question a lot of times if I'll be able to do it. Last year, I started the basics and then stopped because I got really busy with work. This year, I went back on studying it again. I think I am improving in a way. Truly, consistency is one of the key. 😊

[@VallanoMedia801]

Noticed you say "the very scratch" Just need to say, "starting from scratch" Still impressive of speaking many languages.

[@M_SC]

She meant from the very “scratchiest”. if “from scratch” is the beginning, the “very scratch”could well mean the very beginning. She has the right to play with and manipulate English as much as a native speaker does. Like, I can call it the beginningest beginning, that’s not “correct” it’s actually more advanced than correct, it’s a creative improvement on the rule.

[@kurootsuki3326]

@@M_SC i mean... I did similar things when I was learning English and experimenting as a child and early teenager, but the trouble with her attempt is that it misuses the words. If scratch here means nothing/bottom of the pit, very isn't a great fit because you're essentially expressing "lots of nothingness" which can be said, but doesn't convey a clear meaning. If she meant scratchiest it does make more grammatical sense, but if the phrase/saying isn't easily recognisable to native speakers it's not necessarily speaking the mainstream language, but creating a niche (perhaps more easily understood by people with her broad linguistic knowledge). It's fine to be inventive but the words have to be used in their proper grammatical form, if the aim is for the general native speaker is to fully comprehend it.

[@kurootsuki3326]

@@M_SC i just don't necessarily see deviating from the norm as automatically being a positive thing, when the most important fundamental of language is the need to communicate meaning.

[@Agitatedform]

@@kurootsuki3326 I just wanted to reply to say I have heard "from the very scratch" used before. Though it seems to be rather uncommon it has popped up. That could be the usual of English natives just not getting their own grammer and word structure right, but in that case I'd say it's something usable. Mostly because people have been doing that more often nowadays. My native tongue is English if that matters at all.

[@kurootsuki3326]

@@Agitatedform fair enough, there's so much variation in the language that makes sense :)

[@fuumaxkamui]

I changed my phone language to korean since that’s the language I’m studying and the most meta thing I’ve seen in a longtime is watching this video about learning languages have English subtitles that my phone then adds korean subtitles on top of. Excuse me while I go lay down.

[@montanerdz]

Does your phone automatically add subtitles or do you use an app or was it the auto-captions? Asking because I'm trying to learn a language too and captions would really help.

[@fuumaxkamui]

montanerdz it’s weird af cuz every single video my phone automatically displays subs but the language is not consistent. Some videos get korean and others get English. I haven’t changed any settings for this, so I’m not sure how to turn it on or off

Since I’m not in school and I don’t work long hours, I try to at least brush up on reviewing everyday and write notes of what I learn when I start a new level or theme. I use Duolingo, Drops and lanaguge exchange apps with natives. I also use lyric videos of Disney songs or songs by artists that use the language I’m learning so I know what they’re saying and how it’s written as I listen along

[@MintPro47]

In my opinion if you live in a country that speaks your target language you learn it more faster. I moved to a foreign country 4 years ago. I didn't know a single word in that language. But in 6 months i started to speak fluently. Because almost everyone speaks it, so you learn it.

I was surprised when you said two days a week equals consistency. I don’t know if that’s enough unless it’s an easy language like Spanish or German.

[@mylangs]

paul walther oh well.. I focused on not giving up in the long run when it comes to “consistency”. It will be definitely better if we can put it on everyday schedule but having a full time job in reality doesn’t easily allow it. I believe that the pressure of studying it everyday or so is not good. My point was setting the (personally) realistic studying goal not to give up. 😉

[@paulwalther5237]

MyLangs well you’re clearly doing something right if it works for you 😊. Even studying everyday for about an hour or more I don’t feel like I’m learning Korean 😂.

[@FrancomBros]

My mother tongue is English I'm currently in-between A2-B1 in Spanish. Regularly studying at least 30 minutes a day in Duolingo, plus I've started trying to play video games like Skyrim in Spanish and trying to listen to Spanish talk radio stations while driving. I feel like I'm definitely improving. Reading is VERY easy for me, and I can easily read at a B1 level, but can only speak or understand spoken words at an A2 level. I also have a method of writing out vocabulary words on a page with the english and spanish on either side, and going through every so often and seeing if I remember the word. After a week or so, I make a new list and transfer over the ones I didn't remember to the new list. I have just regular notebook paper, usually it's about 20-25 words. Also have tried to dip into Latin, but it is hard to find motivation to do two languages at once. Basically early, early beginner in Latin.

Hi. I'm wiring this comment after watching the video. First of all, thank you so much. I think your passion for languages and sense of languages are basically and extremely great. I have been studying foreign languages for a long time, and I love those two tips "Don't be a perfectionist" and "Easy come, easy go". Hope you upload new video about your long journey for learning English especially including the introduce about each level you experienced to get to master English and the way you did at each level to learn timely and efficiently. I have been learning English and Chinese, and I realized that the result/performance of the first foreign language is really important when learning second foreign language. I used to love English very much, but I lost my confidence when I felt and realized that I couldn't get to the level like you. I thought I tried my best, and I also have the passion for languages and sense of languages but one day I couldn't think anymore that I could do that. I sincerely hope I can regain the confidence like you.
