Combining reading and listening at the same time is a game changer, even in your native language. I'm able to get through really long books faster by listening to the audio book at 2x or 3x speed as I read along with the book. For foreign languages, I listen at 0.5x or 0.75x speed and read a little bit ahead and listen to confirm the pronunciation of words.

Hey Steve, thank you for the video. I am a Turkish guy living in St. Petersburg, Russia. I am more of a reader and a grammar guy. I can tell you this: as I do not consume audiovisual content like I read and study grammar, I feel like my understanding of the language on the street level is just pathetic. Of course, as an intermediate Russian speaker, I understand when people talk to me, I reply to them, no problem. People basically lower their speaking level when they talk to me because I am a foreigner, obviously. In addition, nobody speaks on the street the way I read, they swallow the sounds, words, use slang, etc. Even those language learning podcasts are different than what people actually speak. It is just another level, and I don't think you can get there without consuming audiovisuals that the native speakers themselves consume. Thank you for encouraging listening as well as reading, it made me realize I need to focus more on audiovisuals. Thank you!

Wow, that's a good video! The book by Yuriy Ivantsiv “ Polyglot Notes. Practical Tips for Learning Foreign Language” had a profound impact on me, opening new horizons of understanding the diversity of languages and cultures. The author's ideas that learning foreign languages not only broadens one's horizons but also contributes to spiritual development became a real revelation for me. I realized that every language is not just a system of signs, but a whole world with its history, traditions and way of life. Thanks to this book, I learned to see language learning as a path to self-discovery and a deeper understanding of others, which in turn enriched my worldview. Inspired by Ivantsiv's approach, I became more conscious of my learning, integrating the author's practical advice into my daily life. This opened up opportunities for me not only to improve my language skills, but also to develop a personal philosophy based on mutual understanding and empathy. Immersing myself in languages has allowed me to see the world from different angles and realize the importance of cultural exchange, which has been the foundation for my spiritual growth. Reading this book and applying its advice has helped me to become a more open and tolerant person who seeks harmony in my relationships with others.

Listening comes first in language learning for pronunciation but reading is much more important as you are more likely to understand what you read than what you listen to. Also in listening you may miss even most of what you know very well for your ear is not used to hearing connected speech, intonation and low or high stress on syllables etc.

Both are important and have their place and of course negotiating spoken langauge with real communicative context is the most important step in creating meaning in your language skills. Nonetheless, I would say that reading and listening to audio are very similar. If you are reading at a level appropriate to your competence, and it is essential that you understand what the words you read sound like, your inner voice will read to you and you can slow down and speed up the reading pace as necessary to your needs. So I would place reading over listening to audiobooks in terms of being able to negotiate the language. Being able to adapt the tempo of your reading and repeated reading of passages that you don't understand on first reading will help comprehension emerge. Listening is linear event based (meaning related to the passing of time) and it is harder to repeat listening events than it is to reread something in a book. I live in the country of my target language and it is really hard to learn from speakers who expect you to understand like adults, never adapt their speech to enable you to understand, just expect you to understand. Asking someone to repeat several times becomes embarrasing after a while. This was my reality as an adult learner learning from scracth so it took longer than I expected or hoped for. Reading is massive. Inner voice is essential here!!!

I would greatly appreciate your insights and experiences regarding both reading and listening, and how they impact you.

I like both but I prefer listening. I don't know why but when I hear a new word or phrase I can not only remember it better but often remember the context in which I learned it. If I come across a new word in a text I struggle to remember it and if I do where I came across it. But it's important to also remember that written language is nearly always more complex and has a greater range of vocabulary than unscripted speech. Which is why understanding films and plays can be hard because a script is just written language performed.

Listening is fleeting, so while it's basically the cornerstone of communication, for the purposes of learning, it can be difficult to capture. This has improved with the Internet, where people can have far more control over the pacing and repetition of bits of audio as well as subtitles. Whereas with reading, it's there permanently. You can go at your own pace. However, it still relies on you having a fairly good grounding of the sounds of a language, particularly with something like English where you might regularly meet words that could be pronounced one of several ways. In English, for someone with bad pronunciation, extensive reading can be very problematic, because their phonological loop is all over the place and if they don't know how the words are supposed to sound, they can't say them in their head, even if they know the meaning. However, the main issue is that there is just far more written material out there at levels suitable for learners. It's quick and easy to make and with the advent of AI, you can grade written material quickly to make it easier to read. So in terms of getting vast amounts of input, reading is still the best, particularly after those initial stages of learning. I don't know many people who reach C1 or C2 level who don't read a vast amount.
@delpierro2132 ай бұрын
If you constantly listen and read at the same time, your listening is lagging behind, because you focus more on reading.... It was the same for me, if I understand 90% while listening to English with English subtitles, it can drop to 30-50% only when I listen, and if it is long, I get lost... If someone whose listening is developed enough, even if he only reads, his listening also improves a lot.... Of course, everyone may be different, but I think it is necessary to listen a lot without adding reading into the work... Even if the sound and subtitles are in the same language, when you get used to the subtitle, you have difficulty when you just switch to listening...So it was with me.. How are your experiences, friends?

I've been using a slightly different approach. I've been trying to learn French and Russian for the last year and a half and I focused only on listening. I started from scratch, watching movies and series, with subtitles in the target language and also in my own language. It is now, after this year and a half, that I feel confident to start reading. I ask chatGPT or any other AI to create short stories at an advanced level in both languages and I do what is called extensive reading. I get the main idea of the stories even though I still don't know all the words. So, it seems that only listening from the very beginning has worked for me. I think listening is the hardest part so it seems reasonable to invest more time into that.

Reading vs listening has been an on going internal debate for me but I come back to the same answer: reading is better for anything that's at all above my level and where looking up words would make noticeable difference which is every foreign language for me. But reading does take a bit more concentration and so sometimes I opt for listening instead anyway. And there's definitely something to be said for getting a minimum amount of listening practice in so that your inner monologue when you read is correct or at least pretty good. Having studied Korean for many years now I can better hear the Korean in my head when I read versus several years ago when I had a lot less listening practice. I think if you're starting a new language having both the audio and text to review at the same time is really ideal.

Today I am on page 96 of the 1,250 page Kindle edition in Spanish of Harry Potter book 5 (of 7). I read at the same time I listen to the Audible Book of same. This system guarantees I hear correct pronunciation. A 40 minute chapter takes maybe 120 minutes because I frequently ask chatGPT to explain coloquial expressions or definitions of magical incantations or biographies of characters (Sirius Snape, Ojoloco Moody, Ron & George Weasley, etc etc). And of course Google translate is indispensable. The Harry Potter series is perfect because each successive volume has more advanced vocabulary and grammar.

Have you considered EXtensive reading instead of what you do, intensive one? It seems to have greater yields in the long term. You would simply read a book like you would in your native language, without using Google translate or ChatGPT to explain some phrases. You would understand new words and phrases eventually, when they would come up in the book a bit later. Since you got to the 5th book, it seems like your reading comprehension is quite high already, so I don't think you'd have any real problems reading extensively. The main benefit is progressing in the language "naturally" (what sticks, basically), leading in better retention in memory. Plus, it would be 3x faster, as you mentioned

It depends on the person and the situation...some people learning of things more strongly audio and others more strongly visual, some use both about equally. Also the language matters. For me as an english speaker who wears hearing aids, using speech and reading concurrently (esp in a language such as French) works best to both know how to pronounce the words and remember them by how they appear written. Hard to explain, but I need both together. Then again, I once knew someone who only remembered things heard but never remembered things written, so would read school texts out loud while recording, then review the info by listening at a somewhat faster replay, so then could pass a test. Everyone is different.

I’m learning Thai and I need to listen to pick up the tones. I don’t know the rules to get the tones from the script.

Sir, I have a question do we have to read loudly or in silence, please tell me thank you!

Whatever you prefer. I tend to read silently but actually pronounce the words in my head.

hello everyone, please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I can't take English speech by ear. Because of this, it seems to me that I cannot speak English. I don't hear the difference in the sound of many English sounds. the same sound can be transmitted by a different combination of letters and this is my nightmare for me. It's easier for me to understand Spanish than English. Please give me some advice on how to overcome this barrier?

It depends on your learning style.

I think reading is the best because while reading we can see and speak our own voice so we will get extra benefits than listening.

@@succeedsishir2081 I agree. I don’t mind audiobooks, but I’m more of a reader. It’s a better way for me to digest and interpret the information.
