First I find the meaning. Next time the same word appears and it clicks. Thats how I have been able to built my vocabulary inter alia. Moreover I am a Polyglot. I know Pahari, Hindi, English, Urdu, Punjabi, Gojari, Arabic and also working on a new script which would revolutionize the writing system I hope. Sir, Do you have anything to suggest me concering Script ?

Love the point about "attitude" "time spent with the language" and "ability to notice." This makes so much sense. Made a video recently about when exposed to language input, don't just "hear," take a few moments to "observe/notice." Being deliberate about this is huge.

The fourth and fifth books that I read in Russian were sci-fis by the same author. It was pleasantly easy to read the second novel. This is now my pattern. Two books by the same author. The first of the first book I might need to look up 3 words a page ( or whatever). The second half of the first book perhaps 1 or 2 words. However, by the second half of the second book…maybe a word every 2 pages but more importantly I’m no longer translating in my head.and simply enjoying the story.

I recently used the word "confabulate", which I picked up many years ago from an Oliver Sacks book, in the sense "make something up". I then looked it up and found that it also has other meanings, like "converse". Spanish is my third language; I'm a heritage speaker, which is a sort of native speaker. I sometimes find out that I know words (usually names of plants) that first-language Spanish speakers don't.

If you want to learn new vocabulary, then get exposure to the language. How do you get exposure to the language? Listen to people making conversation with other. Listen to stories. Reading or listening to a random list of words or a random list of sentences is not an effective way to get exposure to the language.

I tried LingQ but found it really complicated to learn korean with it. Maybe I don't understand the website. But that I have to choose a meaning of a word on my own is somehow confusing, also I think the system don't understand words/verbs like "(word)할 뻔했다" which has its own meaning, but because there is a space in between those words, the system of LingQ does not realize the grammar. So I can't learn as a beginner on LingQ if I want to learn korean. At least it's my experience so far.

Might this format help with languages that have unfamiliar script characters like Chinese or Japanese? I'm interested in Japanese and kind of accept standard study methods like writing practice or flash cards will be necessary, but I also wonder if the LingQ method will help a lot in retention of the characters as much as the words. EDIT: I guess what I mean is if this can help move passed that Flashcard / Copy - Write phase faster and not worry so much about perfecting the script before tackling language.

When I'd just started learning Japanese many years ago, I didn't know about Lingq. But basically I did the similar thing. I've just been reading many visual novels, first using text grabber and Rikaichan, than without them. I haven't ever done a writing practice. While I was using Anki for a while in the start and even tried to learn 1000 separate kanjis at once, I'm not really sure if it was so helpful. I think the reading itself did more for me, and kanji are better be studied just as parts of words. There was a time I was reading for a three hours in a day, for several months, and then the language somehow "clicked" with me. I felt being immersed and forgot I was reading in a foreign language

Do you subvocalize when you read in languages you aren't fluent in?

Great video! Question, does this work (as well) for languages with pictographic alphabets, like Kanji in Japanese? I find very tough to memorize or absorb new words when I'm reading new material in the native language, since thousands of symbols and how very detailed they are will make me retain very few words :/ Thanks 🙏

I think that when it comes to Kanji a separate deliberate effort to learn them is necessary at the beginning and for a while. Then as you continue reading and listening, you will reinforce your familiarity wit them and learn new ones. It will be come less necessary to deliberately learn them

"Too old" is a rude expression in English. You've probably meant very old.

Can a beginner thrive using LingQ Japanese? I know hiragana and katakana, but no kangi…. Do you have readings just in hiragana and katakana?

Hey Paul, I have a question. I'm learning two writing systems and three languages (one for leisure, one for academics, and one for another purpose) and while doing that, I found myself being sometimes dyslexic. In English, I sometimes fail to recognize a word properly. While in other languages, I recognize individual letters simply by recognizing the whole word. If I were to read by reading the letters, I would comprehend less in a language other than English. I'm pondering about dyslexia and polylingualism and I thought to ask you.

can reading and listening help me learn new words without looking up for the meaning of the words that i don't know like to see some words repeatedly in different contexts while reading , is it the way? or should i stop reading every time i see a word that i don't know and search for it's meaning? this is laborious and kills the passion i have to continue reading and learning , oh God the English language gets harder the more you cut the path

With French I write down new words while listening to podcasts. Later on I research them and add them to Anki. It takes me a while to learn them, but they often come up again, and gradually they sink in. Looking them up at the time breaks the flow, and means you go back to your native language.

@@StillAliveAndKicking_ but don't you think this is a slow way like it will take more than four years to master the language ,if i learn an average of 10 English words a day it will take me 5 years to know 18,000 words and that's still not the number of words that an adult native English speaker knows according to a google search i did however it's easier in your case because it takes a fewer amount of vocabulary to get to fluency in French

@@tramonto1965 You are right about French. It does take a long while to become fluent. Perhaps four years is right, but long before that you’ll be understanding many words. In German a lot of words are compound, for example. In French , if you know salle and bain, you understand la salle de bain. If you know rouge, you can guess rougeatre.
