+Anna Mwangi because you learn languages by criticizing? I mean come on, you'll never get perfect with your pronunciation unless you get some feedback
@WaaDoku6 жыл бұрын
Anna Mwangi I think accent and pronunciation is where his biggest weaknesses lie. But the absolutely insane speed at which he is speaking and in such a short amount of time, it just blows my mind. Sorry, I meant the insane fluency. Accent isn't part of fluency as long as you're not too far off and you can still be understood by natives.

I just spent 2 weeks learning swahili and remembered this video, came here and almost understood everything he said. Even though it's a great achievement, if honestly not a miracle. The only thing I (and he probably) did was to spend a lot of time practicing. I learned some grammar rules, just larllearned how they work, didn't practice them much. I learned many words and always tried to find sentences that include them. This way the grammar structures I learned would appear again and again. Therefore I get used to them more and more. Of course I have to admit I had a lot of time in these two weeks. If you're working a full time job it's gonna take a bit longer, but if you put in a lot of time and practice, then you can get there relatively fast

Hello there, Tim! Truly impressed by your linguistic gift. I do have a few questions for you that I hope you have time to answer someday: (1) Which language(s) has/have been the most challenging for you to learn in your self-study? (2) What has been your approach to acquiring a conversational fluency this quickly? (3) Do you hire tutors or have friends in these target languages who can provide instant feedback about your grammar and pronunciation, so that you can immediately apply what you may have learned from books/software/conversation? (4) How many months/years do you typically spend on a language before you are comfortable moving onto the next challenge? (5) How often do you revisit your "old" languages for maintenance? I presume that as a US citizen, you have done your best to immerse yourself in other languages, but as a linguist graduate myself (and as a soon-to-be speech-language pathologist), I would like to know how much of the foreign language and culture you are absorbing by living only in the US. To me, it is impossible to separate culture (i.e., music, dance, art, history, politics, science, etc.) from language, so I am trying to understand how you are truly experiencing the language and making those ideally lifelong associations between the words/concepts and their referents through high-quality, natural, in-person interactions on a regular basis. Lastly, in my profession, there is a major distinction we should acknowledge in foreign language ability: Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS), which usually requires 1-2 years of intensive study, and Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP), which typically takes 5-7 years for mastery. On one hand, to reach the BICS level in any foreign language, you are expected to greet, ask/answer questions, share/understand narratives, make requests about your wants and needs, and engage in turn-taking with peers. On the other hand, to reach the CALP level, you should be comfortable explaining and comprehending advanced academic concepts (e.g., scientific theories, mathematical concepts), arguing/debating various topics at length (e.g., philosophy, religion, psychology, etc.), reading advanced literature, writing expository essays, and more -- without noticeable word-finding difficulties or a dependence on an online dictionary. Final question: Would you say you have reached the CALP level of the many languages you know, or is the BICS level a more accurate description of your foreign language abilities? Anyway, I hope your passion for language learning never fades away. Keep up the enthusiasm! You are an inspiration, especially in a country known for having primarily monoglots. Kind regards, Thomas

Kazi nzuri sana. Rafiki Kiswahili chako ni kitamu kama asali. Kwa hakika ulijitahidi mno ndiposa ukaweza kuzungumza kiswahili kizuri kama hiki. Mimi ni mkenya na hivi sasa niko Ivy fulani na najifunza Kihibrania(hebrew). Umejifunza kihibrania? Ni lugha nzuri sana pia. Hongera, zidi kutia juhudi za duduvule na mwishowe utatoboa mti!

Tim uko juu, Kaka. Sisemi kitu. Wakenya waeza wakajifunza mengi kutoka kwako, hususan wale ambao washakidharau Kiswahili. Swali moja tu: kwa kujifunza lugha zote hizo na kujua, si utasahau lugha nyengine baada ya kujua lugha tofauti na ile unayokuwa wajifunza wakati fulani???

I just finished your TedTalks video titled "Breaking the Language Barrier". I'll be looking through your videos & playlists as part of my efforts to learn Swahili, Sheng, & some of the tribal languages, since I'm a volunteer teacher in Kenya. I had a suggestion that you might consider, have you though of doing some videos on learning accents? I had noticed you mentioning that it was your ability to pick up accents that preceded your path to being a polyglot. I have noticed that there is very little about learning accents compared to the vast amount of videos with tips to learning languages. I'm not interested in picking up accents for "cool" factor, but to be better able to communicate in the languages I'm working on. Thx & good luck.

Swahili has a simple grammar, but has long words
@jakobkirbach73185 жыл бұрын
It's better to stop thinking of them as long words. Think of them as a bunch of tiny words without spaces. That's really what they are. Tiny words glued together.
@nemoschmitz23744 жыл бұрын
@@jakobkirbach7318 exactly. Once you get used to the fact that they put the subject marker, time marker and object marker in the front of the verb, it almost doesn't feel like a long word anymore. Nilikuona is just niliku (=I did you) ona (see) to me
