After I started learning English, I felt in love to learn new languages, I'm 16 and I really want to became a polyglot, now learn new languages is my hobby. And there a few people who feel interested in it.

[@songmuoi096]

I also want to become a polyglot, recently I have interested in Spanish but it’s so HARDDDD. Your comment is really so right for me, let’s give it our best shot 😊

[@HomelessShoe]

As long as you don't overdo it, by learning multiple languages at once, like I did by English, Latin & German. Although, in my case I hadn't exactly a choice, given my circumstances; my parents pushed me to follow education on a Latin/Greek school (kind of Elite-ish/snobbish school if you ask me).

Keep going with Spanish 😁😁

[@aprendeaaprenderidiomas]

I also started with English, but then found out that I actually love language learning! After that I learned Spanish, and I am also learning Japanese. I just started uploading videos about language learning in Spanish, as a way to practice it and to share my passion with people who love the same thing.

I'm now trying to expose myself to English as much as I can, and I write a comment on every video I watched on KZbin in English (like this! ). It is the good way to output what you input from KZbin.

[@MrScotchpie]

Great tips. But don't forget the long term memory also has a shelf life. I knew a Spanish guy who moved to the UK in his mid 20s He was about 50 when I met him and he told me he struggles to remember Spanish when he visits his family over there. He struggles to comprehend and struggles to say things. Crazy!. A native Spanish speaker, born and raised in Spain, went through the Spanish education system, lived and work all in Spanish, now struggles to speak Spanish after he left Spain. So when you learn a language you have to stick with it for life to remember it.

[@MariaFernanda-jp1lq]

I'm learning English and I've been listening a lot of things in English and watching your videos to help me practice the language. Thank you!

Giving meaning to everything you say and do always helps reinforce your memories & integrity.

[@user-qt4tb6xw4e]

The way you speak is very fluent and clear as water. Thank you for the motivation. ありがとうございます!

[@filipec.freitas8930]

The technique I use is: Just speak, don't even think. Train your brain to react more quickly when you need to find a word. Train your mind to be adapted to react faster and than the words will flow as a true expression of your being, not as a meticulous action. For me, learning a new language is more about how fast your brain can work on your target language then anything else.

[@JdeC1994]

So speaking is practicing? Some say that language learning is all about input. Not true?

[@frafraplanner9277]

​@@JdeC1994 half input and half speaking is what we do with our native languages, so...

[@JdeC1994]

@@frafraplanner9277 The thing is, a very popular, often-quoted egghead once said that talking is not practicing. However, I've always found that hard to believe.

[@TheEnglishCatESL]

I agree. We learn through mistakes, just try and don't be phased by making mistakes, just speak and try!

[@MaxEnglishCoach]

Fully agree with the tips. If you don't want to forget what you learn you have two options. 1) you get a lot exposure or immersion; when you do this it is less probable you won't encounter a word you learned again. If you learned the expression "rush hour" and you live in a city in the US you will probably retain that. Of course you can also create an environment at home 2) You figure out your own best way to counteract the natural 'forgetting curve.' Answer the question "How am I making sure I don't forget "rush hour" in 3 days, in 7 days, in 30 days?" There are apps that help with this.

[@amibts9272]

Excuse me, could you recommend some apps to me? Many thanks

[@thomashager1424]

Great tips, especially the recommendation to journal in your target language. Numerous studies have shown that writing with pen on paper helps embed information into your brain far more effectively than typing into a computer.

[@alwynwatson6119]

That technique isn’t very accessible for dyslexic people.

[@WaliSayed]

You talk in a beautiful way that I grasp the idea and it directly goes to my heart. ❤

[@AdamYLM]

My method, read a new paragragh 3 or 4 times, first time reading is slowest, rest is quicker. Once its clearly in my head, I wait for 24 hours and then read again tmrw. And then read again next day and also on fourth day. Reading it again and again for 4 days really embeds it in my head.

When i started learning English language it was not easy for me to comprise what people say. But i was really good in speaking than listening. There was long time ago i went on KZbin and listen any video. In the past, i didn't know which accent should I choose when speaking English. But i never ever quit to persist look for best info for my changes. Very often when I talk to z group of people my accent looks like American accent and on the other hand, British accent as well. But i wrap up to opt for one between the two accents. My main problem was ,, listening skill'' but from now i train it seriously on podcast academy and audiobook. I'm happy to understand anyone who talks to me. I'm french but I'm so happy to know to speak English language a little bit. 🇨🇵🇬🇧💗💗💗. May God bless me.

Excellent video!

But being able to accept that mistakes teach us something, and trying no matter what is how we improve!

Hey Ruri! I agree with you that commuting is a perfect time for language learning (I listen to various audios/watch videos while I'm on a bus to work). Let's not forget that if you DRIVE to work you need to PAY ATTENTION TO THE ROAD 😊 . So then language learning becomes secondary (although it might still be effective).

Taking advantage of commuting time is one of the best hacks

[@marcocortez7033]

@user-rt7gc4tj7k I mean yeah it's not as cake as Spanish would be probably but it's doable for sure. I'd say focus on the sounds, and take things one at a time in pieces (learn 1 or 2 cases, one conjugation etc. Then don't be afraid to move on to another before 100% perfecting what you learned). Don't just learn long lists of words - learn phrases that are useful to you and u can use right away pretty much even if you don't fully understand the cases yet. The phrases will become muscle memory but you'll learn why certain things are said a particular way later.

I really love how you think. Not many people think this way even if you tell them the truth of what works it all depends on the willpower. We are exposed to many things and invaluable information. Mostly about spending and desiring things we don’t need. What we need is knowledge and knowledge comes from God. Unfortunately when we continue in our ways because it’s “easy” and “everyone is doing it so why not me?” We become comfortable instead of seeking more about our life and purpose. Proverbs 1:5 (CJB) “5 Someone who is already wise will hear and learn still more; someone who already understands will gain the ability to counsel well;”

The first chart about memory 'decay' should be given more explanation. When I taught junior school I explained 'methods to learn' at the beginning of the year, and the idea of revision after an hour, a day, a week is an excellent reply to someone who blithely says "yeah, I've got this", because you can guarantee they have only "got this" on a superficial level.
