I’ve been learning mandarin for 6 months and am pretty sure that I can speak better than a 1 year old child

[@WCiossek]

After 6 months I was also able to speak Mandarin in such a way that I could attend lectures in Mandarin at the Fudan daxue. It worked very well for mathematics lessons. Everyday conversations that were more superficial also worked very fine. However, if I wanted to express myself professionally, it would be become very difficult for me! I learned Mandarin self-taught in China because I could find books in my mother tongue. Lessons in the English language of instruction would have been too difficult for me, because English is not my native language! Living in a Chinese environment made learning Mandarin a lot easier for me! When I arrived in China, I couldn't speak a word of Mandarin. After only one day I was able to order vegan food for myself in a restaurant and explain to people that I cannot tolerate animal foods in terms of health. A Chinese professor of German at the Fudan daxue was very helpful to me because he could speak German very well.

[@tonymarino71]

SPEAK OF THIS TO NO ONE better than a 1 year old child!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@jamesstem7097]

raven's son that’s not the point the point is that he’s learning faster than the child, this disproving the myth

[@zoesanderson8069]

Any tips to learn Mandarin?

[@pseudotonal]

@@WCiossek Isn't "Where's the nearest toilet" and "Hello. Good to meet you" more important than "I cannot tolerate animal foods in terms of health because I'm a vegan. Have you ever heard of vegan? We are people who do not eat animals."... Hahahaha

[@MindDrip]

My notes: • There is no one perfect method of learning a language, everyone has different learning styles and preferences. • Learn every day. Listen to the language during dead time. • Vary your learning - don't just listen to something, also read, read while listening, read out loud, speak using what you've read etc.. This prevents burnout and keeps you interested and motivated, thus preventing burnout. • You learn primarily through repetition, variation, and exposure - not memorization. • Motivate yourself by thinking of what you'll be able to do with the language once you learn it - remind yourself of that every day before and after you learn. Awesome video Luca. Highly recommend people watch the entire thing, in the end Luca describes his personal method of learning a language.

[@averagewheyenjoyer]

Mind Drip Thank you so much, you beautiful human being! 🥰

[@WCiossek]

Repetition is poison to the brain! It’s tiring! What is more important is the change of context and that you learn with all your senses in order to get deep, unforgettable impressions. It is much more effective to deal with something. My parents have had bomb nights that they can never forget. They can remember it exactly and even have nightmares about it and they tried to forget it. They were unique experiences that burned themselves into the brain permanently. It is similar with languages. The environment and context in the context of a new language creates lasting unique impressions. However, when acquiring a foreign language, there is often the serious problem that there is no learning material for it, or it is written in a language unknown to you with very little information. You have no money to travel halfway around the world to find speakers.You will not even be able to hear or read the language you want. As an example, if you are a US citizen, try getting learning materials for the languages ​​Söl'ring, Fering, Öömrang, Halunner, Frasch, Mooring, Sursilvan, Sutsilvan, Surmiran, Putèr, Vallader, Jauer, Gherdëina, Maréo, Fascian, Anpezan, Fodom and Solander, which are spoken in the area around my home!

[@tracybeeeee]

I teach English to students who are often third or fourth language English speakers. I reiterate the importance of context cues. Reading Shakespeare is a learning process, so the first point I try to make is to look for words you already know, and attempt to make sense of a line using the language they already possess. Also, I reiterate the importance of reading. Not just academic texts - read a magazine, or a silly romance novel. You unconsciously start taking in grammar and sentence structure.

[@sefrinmusic2731]

@Alex Taylor Hi. Luca has a KZbin channel. There, he tells us all yours methods to learn languages step by step. I recommend it...

[@sefrinmusic2731]

@Alex Taylor And... There isn't secret. Study, study, study every single day and change the method when you see that your learn journey not advance. Reply: there isnt secret. Enjoy

[@slicksalmon6948]

Kids also have different brains than adults. The pre-lateralized brain of a child absorbs unstructured experience like a sponge. The lateralized brain of an adult has developed an internal structure. New information has to hang onto this structure or it slips away. Adults attach new information to old information.

[@corynicolas3175]

This is great! I'm glad other people agree with me. I have been saying this for decades. Many adults spend just a few hours here and there trying to learn a language. They don't invest the time (although unintentional) that kids do into the language. They also don't do the things kids do. If they did, the results would be different. Kids spend day and night hearing and interacting in their native language. They also have 24/7 tutors. Their mom says: What's this? / What color is this? / Where is your nose? / Time for bed. / Do you have to go the bathroom? / Do you want an apple? They play in the language. They eat in the language. Their parents, siblings and friends correct them in the language. They fight in the language. They live the language. Also, they are sent to school where they have to listen to the language in every class and are taught the language, even in classes like physical education (P.E.) and math. They use the language in those classes. They also have to read and write the language and are tested in the language. A great example of the importance of exposure to language is with immigrant children. Many children who migrate to the U.S., for example, speak Spanish as their first language, but soon learn English and are exposed to English all day in school. Their friends and siblings may also speak English. They soon stop developing their native language and some even completely lose it. The result is that their second language, English becomes their dominant language. I train interpreters and many of my students are Chicanos who learned Spanish as their first language, but English is, by far, their dominant language and they have to fill in all of the holes in Spanish (vocabulary, grammar, and even pronunciation). They speak English like any other native speaker of English and their Spanish often sounds like a translation from English. This is most common in the ones who were born in the U.S. (but learned Spanish first from their parents) or who came to the U.S. at a young age and assimilated early on. Adults already have language. They can learn thousands of cognates instantly, whereas children have to learn the concept with the languages. Adults can learn faster. An adult can reach a high level of proficiency in a couple of years whereas it takes children many, many more years. I chose to create an environment of perpetual learning to learn my languages. I would listen to the language, speak the language, read the language, write the language, think in the language, and do many, many things throughout the day, every day. I love languages. This lead me to become a professional interpreter. Passion drives a person to spend tons of time practicing the language. I also chose to learn the language in order to communicate with natives. That's what my end goal always was and I always spoke with natives as much as positive. This was easiest in Spanish and Portuguese because I had people to speak with. I grew up with Deaf friends and learned American Sign Language. In French, I finally was able to speak with natives because of technology (Skype & Italki). Before that, I only spoke with the French exchange student who lived with my neighbor. I guess I was like a kid because I had so much intellectual curiosity (I still do). I wanted to know everything and be able to say everything a native said, exactly the way a native would say it. I also never got burnt out. I would spend months speaking the language (for example, I went to Mexico City and stayed for three months and only spoke Spanish. No English. Why not? Immigrant children who go to another country often have stimulation in the new language throughout the entire day. They get used to it. I think our brain subconsciously picks up everything. Practicing doesn't have to be studying in the way people think. It can be watching a movie, listening to music, talking to people, reading a book, etc. If I were to move to another country and speak the language, I would be just fine not speaking English. I might become tired, but I wouldn't stop being exposed to the language nor limit my practice. The more, the better in my opinion. Most people are probably not like that. I like to have five-hour conversations with other polyglots in five different languages and I am still wanting more.

[@frankj.arteaga2242]

Thank you for this explanation, I totally agree, I'm a Mexican Living in the US and although I understand 95% english, I can only speak like I would say maybe 70% it's not easy at all, especially when arrive or start Learning a language when you are not so young(I came when I was 33). Congrats for learning so many languages!

[@MartinRodriguez-cu6vl]

Very well thought out comment, thank you for sharing. It always fascinated me how it's easier to learn a language as a child, but you opened my eyes to how adults are able to learn just as effectively, even more effectively. We just don't get as much daily exposure to the language as a child would, it all makes sense.

[@jakobivanovski1117]

I remember the day when as kid i was watching German TV and somehow i was instantly aware of what they spoke like it just came into me from somewhere. From that day after watching TV i began to play with my toys and began using words from what i think i heard on TV. What was more frightening at that time is that i could understand any complex word in german in my mind but failed to translate it to my language.

[@user-it8kw3wy2y]

that's cool

[@petrosk.7838]

das stimmt !

[@nikkijubilant]

Wow, cool. I remember last summer when Italian songs with the Italian lyrics but no English suddenly swam in front of my eyes and I knew what the gist of the song meant, as I am very fluent in French, which is similar. But it was like the puzzle pieces fit together in a loose way. I tried learning Italian for decades, listening to opera, but finding the internet and Duolingo really helped it speed up. Now I am looking for people to speak in Italian with...

Lucas me encantan cada video que subes , gracias por subirlos y compartirlos con nosotros.

[@EdwinLuciano]

I believe this is true. I think that adults can be much more motivated than a child in learning a language. They can also dedicate more of their resources to learning languages. I picked up Spanish and then English as a child but I had no choice. But I couldn't spend six months in Aix-en-Provence to pick up French because I was just a little kid. An adult can do that. But I also think that if you learn a language as an adult it's much easier to lose a hold on its pronunciation if you don't keep practicing. I learned French as an adult and I don't feel as comfortable speaking French since I don't speak it very often. I can read and understand spoken French perfectly, however.

[@fabricio_santana]

Great lecture Luca, let me just point out that in the beginning you said that there's no such thing as an universal objectively effective method but as the lecture went on you proved just the opposite, there is an universal effectively method - listening and reading, receiving comprehensible input.

[@lfmb4real]

you forgot doing, although I think is finding within yourself what makes you thick and doing it.

[@AntoinetteEmily]

Fascinating information here Luca, I think you are spot on! My 3 year old is already fluent in English and German. We do the one parent one language method and switching from German to English comes as naturally to here as breathing. Learning German as an adult certainly hasn't come as naturally to me and it great to be aware of the mistakes I am making.

[@reallanguagedynamics7682]

Great video! What do you think about Krashens theories in language learning?

[@1Aydeem]

Wow qué increíble conferencia, creo y espero que por algo haya encontrado tu canal en KZbin y haya leído sobre ti en internet. Yo siempre he pensado que los idiomas no son para mí porque tengo mala memoria y siempre le reprochaba a mi mamá por no haberme inscrito en una escuela de idiomas cuando era niña, porque podría haber aprendido más fácil y ahorita ya hablaría varios idiomas, supongo. Pero ahora me doy cuenta que yo estoy equivocada. Todavía no domino el inglés, a pesar de que entiendo un poco no puedo hablarlo porque soy demasiado tímida en eso y me da miedo de cometer errores al hablarlo incluso al escribirlo. Llevo como casi 4 años estudiando japonés (porque me encanta Japón y decidí entrar a estudiarlo a una escuela de idioma japonés) creyendo que quizás sería más fácil que el inglés para mí jajaj. Pero todavía no lo domino tampoco y eso me frustra bastante porque mis compañeros con los que inicie ya van en nivel avanzado y yo todavía estoy estancada en básico nivel 3...

[@lfmb4real]

mi muy estimada y timida Aideé Martínez: mi unico consejo es que te despojes de tu timidez con verguenza no se come y de los errores se aprende. tu vas a encontrar que la mayoria de la gente es muy receptiva con o sin tus errores y si no fijate en tu propia cultura, la gente no acepta a los apretados (aunque sea por timidos) y si hay veces que dice uno tarugada y media pero no hay toz. tu echale ganas, lo mas importante es tratar.

[@cday0075]

Hello Luca, I have a question about the language learning process. As someone who is young I don't have access to tutors or books, and I'm learning a different language at school (Mandarin). I really want to learn German, but how would you suggest going about it? Basically all of my resources consist of whatever free apps/websites are online until I have enough of a core to find other people to talk with. Iv'e ben searching for good sites to help with grammar (conjugation is awful :)) but have come up short and right now I'm just learning vocab. A reply would mean the world to me, thanks!

[@speakofthistonoone2869]

Read a book my dude!

[@TheSissy90]

Ciao Luca! Ti scrissi più di un anno fa in merito al tuo workshop, e tu mi dicesti che presto ne sarebbe arrivato uno nuovo ancora più completo e in diverse lingue, compreso l'italiano. Visto che come ho detto è passato ormai più di un anno, volevo chiederti se ci fossero novità in tal senso.

[@Jlsuplementos]

What do you mean by "after 18 years living in an English speaking country an adult will speak really well"? 6:10 It's not necessary so long. After 3 years he'll speak quite well. Sorry if I misunderstood it anyway.

[@josecontreras7153]

Jackson Division I understand what you mean, but Luca means speaking English or any language at the level that one native would talk after studying and living 24 hours in the language. Natives manage a huge amount of vocabulary, slang, idioms, etc., that is almost imposibble to learn for a non native, because adults can't spend so many hours living in the language, because they have a very busy adult life. And in some way we refuse leaving our first culture and language. We as adults and learnears of a second language can't dedicate the thousands and thousand of hours than a native spends learning their "first" language.

[@Jlsuplementos]

Yeah! I know what you mean! He should express himself in a better way anyways, especially saying it to language learners who dream of becoming fluent in other languages, but after listening to it, they kinda get demotivated. He said "you can speak very well after 18 years of studying" I mean.. you do can speak very well after a year or less if u spend 10 or 12 hours a day studying your target language, like I do. Otherwise you still can speak very well if you spend 5 hours studying it. That's what I meant! What's worse.. he said that you can do it living in an English country! Oh Gosh! Haha! Let alone in a non-English country! Thanks for your comment and for having understood my previous comment. Cheers!

[@josecontreras7153]

Jackson Division you are totally right! It's not rocket science to knoe that if the longer you spend in your target language the faster you're going to master it. Like children that spend all day long "learning" the language. To spend 10 or more hours a day immersed in your target language is not the most commun among adults. To spend 5 or more hours a day learning or immersed in ypur target language depends of many factors. Passion, available time, motivation, country you live, personality, tecnology, resources, etc., Children learn in a different way than adults. I learned some English in an ESL school. I know how children are thought in regular schools for children. Believe me the methods are very different!!! Children and adults learn very different vocabulary. In ESL schools regularly teach very formal and technical vocabulary while children are though coloquial and very informal vocabulary at the beggining of school. That's what I think.

[@Jlsuplementos]

Jose Contreras exactly! I can imagine it! It's worth pointing out that children "learn" language naturally, effortless. God is in charge of this! We didn't learn anything. We started speaking it even before going to school. What's incredible... we even "learn" and speak words and sentences without have never heard of them before, cuz it's part of life. Kids actually don't need to study anything cuz the brain is open and free to get anything new. When it comes to adults learning it.. it sucks 😂 do u agree? Lol! Take care my friend! God bless u!

[@josecontreras7153]

Jackson Division of course I agree with you that is not comparation learning a language as a kid a first language to learning a language a second language as a adult it is more difficult to reach a "native" level. But learning a second language in a fluent level enough to express yourself is not so hard as it seems. We as adults have certain advantages over children. Take care my friend! God bless you too!!!

[@Suite_annamite]

Of course: because unlike *children, who only acquire and memorise* a language, an *adult actually learns* another language, logically and *methodically.*

[@73Yaquita]

Luca what do you think is better... learn a new language in your native language or in a language that you are fluent?

[@lfmb4real]

you will learn better by doing, independently of what you know or speak

[@jonathantavarez1423]

Although the question is for Luca I’I answer it for him: Learn from your native language. It’s more comfortable and you’ll handle the complexities much better.

Dorośli mogą się uczyć lepiej niż dzieci. To prawda. Pisała już o tym Kato Lomb. Jeśli chodzi o naukę języka ojczystego to można zadać pytanie jak długo ona trwa? Myślę, że to nie tylko cały okres dzieciństwa ale również co najmniej następne kilkanaście lat kiedy chodzimy do szkoły. Uczymy się wtedy nie tylko pisania czy gramatyki, nie tylko uczymy się wierszy na pamięć, czytamy lektury obowiązkowe na lekcjach języka ojczystego ale poznajemy tysiące słów, różne terminy z rozmaitych dziedzin takich jak biologia, chemia, uczymy się logicznie myśleć a więc precyzyjniej wyrażać swoje myśli. To wszystko wchodzi w zakres nauki języka. Nikt nie chciałby się zatrzymać w znajomości języka ojczystego na poziomie pięcioletniego dziecka. "Mówisz jak dziecko" to wcale nie jest żaden komplement. Skoro tyle czasu zajmuje nam nauka języka ojczystego to musimy sobie zdać sprawę, że nie można błyskawicznie nauczyć się innego języka jeśli chcemy go dobrze poznać. Nauka języka to rzecz złożona. Istnieje wiele metod ale w tych wszystkichj metodach są jednak jakieś punkty wspólne. Nie ważne czy mamy prywatnego nauczyciela, czy chodzimy na kurs, czy mamy lekcje w szkole czy uczymy się sami z podręcznika, zawsze musimy czytać jakieś teksty na głos, uczyć się nowych słów, poznawać reguły gramatyczne i robić ćwiczenia, słuchać jak mówią nativ speakers, powinniśmy coś pisać w danym języku. Ważna w tym wszystkim jest konsekwencja i dobra organizacja. Możemy wypisać sobie te punkty wspólne na kartce i organizować wszystko tak jak nam najlepiej pasuje, co jest dla nas najbardziej wygodne, dostępne. Jeszcze jedna uwaga. Dobrze jest czytać ciekawe książki, szukać takich które nas interesują i przeczytanie całości wyznaczyć sobie jako zadanie. Nawet jeśli na początku będziemy musieli tłumaczyć co drugie słowo to już w drugim rozdziale będzie to tylko parę słów na stronę ponieważ tak wiele słów się powtarza a jak wiadomo repetitio est mater studiorum.

[@poohoff]

+Piotr L wydaje mi się, że nauka każdego języka, w tym ojczystego, powinna trwać przez całe życie. Inna sprawa, że większość ludzi jest przerażona taką perspektywą. =)

[@adolforendon946]

Thanks a million for the help

[@israelcanova]

The 1st topic is bringing up an argument totally outdated because it`s proven that children can be exposed in an environment where people around speak more than 2 languages and just in a matter of time, children master them all, each with no accent interference of the other.

[@lfmb4real]

I agree

[@cashglobe4198]

Yeah, but this takes thousands of hours of exposure. Put an adult without any responsibilities in this situation (being exposed, nothing to do other than to try and learn, and constant exposure, etc) and the same thing would happen. Children are not better than adults at language learning, nor Adults to Children, just different language learners.

It appears your L1 (if it is in English) is being disturbed by your L2. THEN is an adverb stating something will or has happened after an event, as in, put the key in the ignition, THEN turn it to start the engine. THAN is used as a comparison, as in, adults learn faster THAN kids. Thanks.

[@BMirros]

Is this presentation based on a research? I would like to read it in detail, please!

[@WCiossek]

If you question all of the learning methods, if you look closely at yourself and others, when you ask yourself what things are best kept and what things you couldn't remember, you will find out for yourself how learning works, especially if you put your own knowledge into practice and compare the results of the usual learning methods. That person in the lecture above just took a closer look at the learning processes and gained some knowledge from them! You can find out more! His findings are based on very few questions, namely: 1. What is the environment and context of a child when acquiring their mother tongue? 2. What is the environment and context of an adult learning a foreign language? 3. What is the difference between an adult's situation and a child? Here are some questions you can answer yourself to find out more about the language learning process: 1. Why are horrible experiences never forgotten? How can you forget them so you don't have nightmares? 2. Why are very impressive experiences not forgotten? 3. How tiring are repetitions? 4. How important is the environment, the senses and the context when learning? 5. Why don't we forget the first word of a foreign language learned, the first sexual intercourse, a highly interesting conversation? 6. When do we get a painful lesson? When the teacher is very unappealing? Do we hate what we have learned with great effort or the disagreeable teacher? 7. What if the teacher is very personable, do we learn better? 8. What does joy, fun, discussions, confrontations during learning mean and what effect do these factors have? 9. Why doesn't a gossip forget news until she tells a neighbor about it? 10. What was the reason if you did something that you keep forever right the first time and you didn't need any effort to learn it? How did you feel? 11. What influence do praise, criticism and blame have? How do you feel afterwards? 12. What does grading and assessment do? Are they precise or completely inaccurate? 13. If you memorize something, how long will you keep what you have learned? 14. What is very disruptive to the learning process? The effort? The waste of time through stupid repetition and memorization? 15. How can I use the answers to the above questions to implement relevant knowledge for my own learning in order to optimize my learning skills? 16. How can I ask more questions on this topic? I am not a native speaker of English, but I am polyglot. I asked myself a lot of questions and also found my own appropriate answers that helped me significantly to learn a lot of languages very quickly.

[@scneedl]

thank you that you are.

Our brain does not learn while we sleep. There has been research done to study this.

您不是唯一的一个！但是，我比试图说纯正英语的美国人更能理解他! Sie sind nicht der Einzigste! Jedoch kann ich ihn besser verstehen als einen Amerikaner, der versucht reines Enlisch zu sprechen. You are not the only one! However, I can understand him better than an American who tries to speak pure English!

[@lights914]

Thank you Luca! It's very informative! I loved it!

[@Cayan47]

Luca, I love you

[@lfmb4real]

may I add that: you have to make it fun and interesting first learn what you need first, that you will use first, try to learn something new every day maybe a word (or concept) and if is not a word then the usage of a word (or concept) 365 days = 365 words or concepts or ideas. be open to new ideas, because even on your own languages there will be poor communicators (ex, try telling your motherinlaw your ideas in your own language) most people will be very receptive of what you are trying to communicate, the epiphany moment will come when you don't think in your mother tongue, when you start thinking in the language you are learning, try not to translate words, what you translate are meanings and intentions I agree with all of what Mr. Lampariello said, I just want to add that the sooner you start speaking the faster you will learn and the more you will learn, buena suerte a todos.

“Maybe not native level” Any adult should be native level with 18 years of immersion wtf

[@JapanischErfahren]

Nah. Actual native level is close to impossible, even if people don't want to hear that. You can, however, reach 90% of native level in a way, way shorter time than that.

[@pajamafox7429]

@@JapanischErfahren I don't really agree, partly because I think "natives" themselves are very inconsistent and vary in skills, and because 18 years is absurd. I agree with anyone who believes knowing the culture inside out and back, with the correct accent and all, is required to make native level. But I don't think that's as unmanageable as he made it out to be. You pick up the culture while you live in a country. I genuinely think you'd have to avoid working on some area you lack for a decade to not be indistinguishable from a native in 18 years.

[@JapanischErfahren]

@@pajamafox7429 I think we agree about most details. If you live in a country for 18 years (or hell, even one year) and can't speak the language well, you're an idiot. Absolutely agree. Still, I think you underestimate what 'native level' means. I think you can reach 95% fluency in 2 years, but not 100% fluency even in 20 years. It's like training to become left handed when you're naturally right handed, or the other way around. You might get your weaker hand to 95-99% of your stronger hand, but the last, or the last few, percent will just never happen. If someone tries to murder you and you instinctively defend yourself, you will still use your natural strong hand, even after 20 years of training. And it's the same with languages imo. The last tiny bit just is not possible. It might not be very motivating if you're learning a language, but in my experience, that's just how it is. (And once you accept it, it's not especially bad.. you can speak fluently and understand everything that's said and written, that's not too shabby.)

[@pajamafox7429]

@@JapanischErfahren Is there actually a concrete definition for what makes somebody "native level", though. I have an infinitely higher proficiency in speaking my native tongue than foreigners, but I also have a much, much, much higher level of english than most kids in middle school. The real issue is just what you consider native, because if your argument is the hand argument, there are people who are born left handed in the fifties but it was beaten out of them and they are much more comfortable with their right hand now. If you define native level as some natural inclination towards your own language I'd agree but like that seems way to ambiguous. You might be setting the standard too high artificially.

[@oscaruriel8_4me94]

I would like to give my opinion, if you compare yourself with kids in middle school it can be quite obvious that you have a way better level of the language. That wouldn't really show that you have reached the 'native' level because imagine someone that is a native speaker of English but has never known how to read or write, however that person has been in contact, in its critical period of learning, with that language and therefore that person would obviously make some mistakes but he knows how to speak it and use it in a communicative way. He has developed an underlying form of the whole language which means that unconsciously he know what to say and when to say it or can even predict what someone else is going to say without knowing why. Meanwhile you have been studying the language for 18 years, as you said, and consciously you know how the language works but even sometimes you have a hard one trying to look for a phrase when they can just even say it in less than a second

When you're an adult , you learn conciously wheras children learn naturaly

[@brendon2462]

Adults also learn subconsciously and consciously. The adult brain is picking up things we are not aware of forming patterns exc.

[@whyliftwhenitsallaboutthef9222]

Language learning is coping. If you are really serious about changing your life for the better, instead of learning 10 languages you're better off having 10 plastic surgeries done.

[@lfmb4real]

That will work up till you hit 40 so you better hurry and get your future set up, after that there will be a newer chipper model why have a 40 yr old when you can have 2 20's
