Are there any secrets to learning the semantic difference between "7 secrets to learn any new language" and "7 secrets to learning any new language"? 🤔

Glad to get the confirmation about the importance of words over grammar I have been against jumping straight to grammar as we did in Spanish and French class back in schoolbrbrI've always thought that the best way to learn a language is the way a baby learns a language for the first time brbrThey begin with learning words, being grammatically incorrect but as mentioned in the video, due to mass exposure of the language the correct grammar eventually basically solves itself

#6 invest in the tools What tools? Specifics would be great since there are tons of apps, but not a lot that are as helpful as they claim I can't find even one that does what he is talking about in the first place

The coolest feeling is definitely when ‘noise’ turns into meaning There’s no better feeling than understanding a piece of text or a video that was completely incomprehensible 6 months ago

The other day I listened to a teacher who teach non-Chinese people mandarin saying that there are people who get confused about 二,and 两,and why we say 二十 instead of 两十,but why we say 两千 两万 instead of 二千 二万。that teacher was surprised to hear questions like this and so was I Because to a native speaker we never really think consciously why we use that form but not the other and we don’t know the grammar rules for that too It’s just how people normally say it So the same applies to other languages as well It’s better not to memorize the rules, it’s better to listen and read as much as possible and you will gradually grasp it and slip out naturally

What is the recommended way to watch German TV with subtitles? English or german subtitles?
Comment from : jgkent1971


FPOAK
Not only does this seem like the most enjoyably way to learn a new language but it also seems like the way all of us have already learned our first language We don’t learn our native language vocabulary by memorizing flash cards and most of us still couldn’t describe the rules of grammar in technical terms We learn what sounds right over time through lots of input
Comment from : FPOAK


Further More
After my learning of various Rubik's cubes, Jazz improvisation, English, programming, discrete math, juggling, freeskating, card throwing, whistling and many many other knowledges about improving learning(Researches on lifestyle, study methods, brains etc)brbrI conclude that this gentleman tells you not the secrets of learning any new languagebrHe actually just tells you the AXIOMS of learning ANYTHING in 10 minutes!

This man, he calls himself "Steve Kawfman", later on "Steve Kowfman" to profess his progress in German, tells the same stuff over and over again "Get involved, do what you like, words over grammar, take time" The subtitle names him at 0:23 "Steve Cochran" though to me he is "old fart" So, if you do not wish to learn a language, watch "Lingosteve´s" videos over and over again

I'd like to point out one tip that helped me a lot when learning a new language, as soon as you know the basic turn your phone language to the one you are trying to learn At first it can be overwhelming but as smartphones nowadays are so intuitive most of the things you do with it will come out inconscuously It's a great way of getting continuously involved in the language and not only the time you sit down and study Also is great to acknowledge a lot of vocabulary, also get your self a g-board keyboard of that language and look up in the internet using it Another thing, don't base you learning on only your native language, for example I am Spanish and i am learning Ukrainian, i usually search for gramar explanation on those 3 language as a lot of the phrases formations are more similar in English than in Spanish, some of them we don't even have it in Spanish (for example "already" (вже), in Spanish is "ya" which has a much more open meaning than the word in English) some other things must been learn in the language you are learning as there are not such things in your own I hope this can help anyone!

JPNY
When I needed to learn English, I bought a book in English that I read few years earlier in my native language — I knew the basic plot, but didn’t remember too many details I sat down with the book and a dictionary (this was before the internet) and started reading First chapter took several weeks because I had to look up every word But little by little I was reading faster and faster It took about 7 months of daily reading to finish the book But for the last chapter I needed to look up maybe only two words I acquired about 80 of the vocabulary I use today from reading that first book Of course, I couldn’t really speak the language because all I did was reading But I understood spoken English from the radio My brain somehow connected the sounds of spoken English to the visual/written form So I could understand spoken language too However, it would take maybe another year to learn how to speak the language

Lois Sharbel
This is the best info on language learningor learning of any kindthat I've come across Having realized late the truth that we learn what we need and like, I'm chagrinned to know I didn't connect this with just listening a lot and reading and speaking the extra language aloud, however imperfectly THANK YOU!!!!!

Learning grammar is the biggest mistake I did when learning Japanese I didnt learn words AT ALL (I did but I learned more grammar than words) So after awhile I gave up because I didnt understood anything, because the grammars that I thought I needed was apparently useless

MBH212
amongst all the popular language learning channels on youtube, Steve Kaufmann's channel is probably the only realistic and genuine channel that would teach you how to learn a language properly The rest are either advertising a product (most times their own product) or give you useless advice and methods for views

Yeah i guess the theory is If you understand the words better, conjugation will come more naturally

William Budd
“Listening and reading is how you acquire words “ No Steve, thats how YOU acquire words I find that I must make a more dedicated effort to remember a words meaning so flash cards work best for me

In order to learn a new language people have to understand that english is not the 'normal' or 'default' More so, english is so basic that its simpleness may intervene with your leaning
