Comment from : Marina Terrosi

when we reading we can learn grammar also
Comment from : Urlych Likson

My reading strategy is to always read any text or book at least twice brThe first reading is done as quickly as possible without consulting the dictionary brThe second reading is done consulting the dictionary for the unknown words br brIn the first reading I try to guess the meaning and function of the unknown words from the context Usually I am able to understand in general terms what the book is about, even when I cannot understand the details br brThe second reading is usually much slower than the first reading because I consult the dictionary for the unknown words But there is a catch: I only re-read the interesting or important parts of the book And I only check the important words So the second reading can actually be as fast as the first reading br brAccording to the Pareto's Law (or the 80/20 Law) you only need to know 20 of the most important words to understand 80 of the text brAnd the most important words will also happen to be the most frequent words brAfter the first reading you will have a good grasp of the most important words that you need to look up in the dictionary br brSuch a strategy can be used by anybody, at any level, even beginners brAnd it doesn't need to be a full book, the text can be as small as a single page

It is very useful I always listen to audio and watch kids cartoons but I try this sometime And it expands my vocabulary, and absorb the grammar unconsciously

مرحبا ستيف كيف حالك؟ يعجبني أسلوبك في تعلم اللغات كثيرا و قد شجعني لتعلم لغة جديدةbrأتمنى لك التوفيق في تعلم العربية و الفارسية
Comment from : Ali

Hello Steve!brThe problem with me in reading is how much time should I spend in translating the unknown vocabulary? This always lead to the decrease of my reading speed and make me get bored quickly! Thus, I often try to understand the unknown word, as hard as I can, from the context in order to keep the flow of my reading not interrupted The bad news is when I make the flow of reading my priority as a result I don't learn new vocabulary! What do you think of that?
Comment from : Adams

Good Morning, Mr Kauffman, I am learning English, when you say read and listening, I have to do it separately, or is the same when I hear an Audio book, that have subtitles Please I am confused
Comment from : Blancanieves

for example, i started reading HP and the order of the Phoenix, should i read it like in my mother language and stopping when i find an unknown word, or just directly search for the words that i dont know?

Comment from : Nada Jabbar

In you videos related to specific languages, I’d love to see something about Irish I’d also love to see something related to prepositions in language learning, as well as strategies for learning irregular verbs Keep up the great work
Comment from : Brian Walsh

Hi Steve, I’m a big fan of LingQ and use it for language learning as my primary tool brI was wondering if you had any plans or interest in adding Bulgarian to the site at some point, or have at least met some people that would be willing to record mini stories and other beginner material? Thanks

Comment from : Victoria

You're inspiring me to get back into reading after a few months practicing mainly speaking and listening

Comment from : garciazapata

The part about printing it out and reading is really interesting Hmmm I’m going to have to try that and see how it goes Thanks, Steve!
Comment from : Ellery Prescott

Thank you, Steve! I like your lessons very much And your enthusiasm is amazing!
Comment from : Ch K

Great video!brJust one doubt:brSteve, is Far-see the Persian word for Persian?brIf so, why not just call it Persian when speaking in English, so that non-jargon people like me understand?brOr when we're talking about French in an English conversation should we no longer call it French, but rather Fron-say?brWhen you're speaking or writing in Persian do you return the "favour" by only referring to English by its English name?

Any recommendations for Cantonese material? I already know Mandarin so if there's explanations and stuff in Chinese it won't hinder me
Comment from : Lazarus Richardson

Excellent ☺👍
Comment from : Abdul Latif

A basic variation that i enjoy is using a computer and web browser for LingQ instead of the android tablet version Although the tablet version is the only choice when using LingQ while on my tradmill, the web version works a hell of a lot better and I do not have to waste time being distracted by bugs!
Comment from : jazzyeric21

Steve, I remember you saying that we need to actively study the language until we've got to a level where the language is so familiar that further improvement is made merely by being in contact with the language But how does one know if he's already at said level, where he doesn't need to study and can spend his time with another language?

When starting learning Turkish more as 2 years ago I printed all 30 short dialogs with quite big letters - one dialog pro sheet 30 separate sheets (Not all of them printed in one day, of course)brWhile listening to a dialog I followed the text on paper, not from the screen Less harmful for my eyes I also walked around in the room or outside, while listening and reading Less harm to my brHaving finished learning the dialogs I started to read a short novel I divided the text into many fragments, and sound of the audiobook divided as well One mp3 file corresponds to one paper pagebrI worked with audio, pdf and google-translator and Anki on my PC, and short audio and paper served only for repetition No need to turn on the comp or tablet every time On the paper, I made stress signs and such with a ink-penbrI had finished reading the 2nd book in Turkish recently And even made a booklet from the pdf-textbrI enjoy learning languages and all of that what was made was not because of necessity but because of pleasurebrI read English novels on my Android Hear German audio books There is no need for me to use paper things for these languages as described above, because of my B2 level in these languages But if starting learning a language it is useful, I guessbrbrI also made first steps in learning French I have printed several pages from L'île mystérieuse to follow with my eyes while listening, But my time is devoted to Turkish mainly Ca 20 - to French

How much do you do between listening and reading
Comment from : Gilmar Vianna

Thanks Steve for sharing!brOne big question just came to my mind brWhen you read and you find a gramatical structure you dont know, you stop look for it and you continue reading? brOr first you study grammar and according to your grammar level is what you read?
Comment from : J Andres Palma M

OMG! You're still learning new languages!brMy question is how do you maintain them, don't you forget them?
Comment from : Peter Maller

Reading Chinese books on my kindle has been a game changer Having the Chinese dictionary inbuilt means the reading is much more enjoyable as I don't have to put down the book in order to check pinyin/ meaning
Comment from : Jessica Robinson

Reading on paper is great But it takes some effort to look up meanings and pronunciations By the way what do you think about text-to-speech? I always read on the screen because of text-to-speech feature
Comment from : Loachana Egodawela

Variety is the spice of life and language learning I am definitely a person who uses multiple inputs for language learning!
