You read my mind I'm trying to find documentaries for kids on youtube I've not had much success though
Comment from : Phabio

I think fine points of language are almost impossible to learn Example: how do you explain the different meanings of "dude" as an expression Like "Dude!" as in disappointment "Dude!" as congratulations, "Dude?" as in what are you doing? etc I remember that one time I was with friends and a woman dropped a huge bag of coins that split open and went everywhere I immediately yelled "Dude!" and it cracked my friends up Hard to translate the senses of the thing brI really like your videos They have very practical advice

On stage 1 should I translate, for instance, a song or an anime to my mother tongue ? I''m preparing to learn Icelandic, Im a native Portuguese speaker
Comment from : Crescer Meditando

Hello, Steve,brEnglish is my second language, Croatian is my first I wanted to give you a new term for language learning I call the process “ assimilation” I think that is the closest term for what happened in my case Reading, with a dictionary by my side, going to lectures, more reading and constant listening I love LingQ and could not agree with you more about your method of learning brI am learning French now, just the way you suggest, and going through acquisition/assimilation process Thank you so much I am a permanent fan ❤ Sanja

Comment from : Alexandr Hughes

I love the journey of learn new language it’s soooo interesting
Comment from : Aida Gholampour

Thanks for the long video! Your insight into language learning is very helpful Thank you!
Comment from : Scrappy Bob Barker

I think that it is particulary brilliant the idea of at least waiting a while before showing some particular grammar details to a learner Without some reference, even a very unneducated one, the grammar is astouneashing abstract If that is true even for the grammar of our native language, its goes without saying how hard it will be for a beginner student of a second language
Comment from : Vinicius Villela

This is a lot of good advice because I've been studying Japanese for almost 9 years and can barely have a simple conversation and only understand about 10 of what I hear
Comment from : Gizamalukeix

Even for English speakers, we can learn more English words
Comment from : draugami

Thank Mr Steve, useful tips, i m appreciated
Comment from : HK

Hi Steve, bryou have many great video, but not in all your languages the same amount I like to listen to you in spanish (tengo el nivel B1) If you need ideas, you could just translate videos I would also listen to a video about japanese or arabic, if it's in spanish Just an idea, but it should be easy for you I would 100 watch them Thx
Comment from : norich111

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California The pace of study was intense Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes Practical tips for learning foreign languages” The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreignbrlanguage and wants to realize their full potential!
Comment from : Thomas Robertson

Thank you, Mr Kauffman for your clear explanations based on your experience in learning languages Is there any book you wrote about these stages? I would like to read more
Comment from : Ellis Artyana

Comment from : mi-re-la

You need to get a better mic or up the intake level
Comment from : Cello M

Absorbing a language is a process of osmosis Let it sink in at a natural rate We should give our brains more credit for remembering stuff we feel we've glossed over It does, and will bubble up , and if it doesn't today perhaps it will tomorrow
Comment from : Brian Saltmarsh

Thank you for all the information Steve As an Esl teacher I find it very useful and it totally describes my approach to learning languages One thing I am curious about: What are your ideas about the stage of learning that is called “the plateau?” This is where most people stop improving
Comment from : didemkilinc

Thanks for sharing the tips Steve What makes it more convincing to me is that not only it is explained theoretically but also you applied it yourself in your language learning
Comment from : Haryadi S

Thank you very much!
Comment from : Anderson Y

Good video! Thanks to the author for his good work! I'd like to recommend Yuri Ivantsiv's practice book Polyglot's Notes: Practical Tips for Learning a Foreign Language This book has many useful methods for learning a foreign language, how to develop your memory, how to memorize words, learn grammar, quickly learn to speak, read and write All recommend this excellent book! Good luck to everyone in learning a foreign language!
Comment from : Юрий Иванцив

I have a hard time getting over the beginners hump because most beginners material is just so boringbrbr"Hello, Tom"br"Hello, Jane"br"Where are you going?"br"I'm going to the library, how about you?"br"I'm going back to the dormitory"br"Bye"br"Goodbye"brbrNobody actually talks like this
Comment from : freebie

What were those Intermediate + materials you used for Mandarin? I'm looking for that next step
Comment from : Sam

You mention Persian, Turkish, and Arabic - Could you look into Kurdish? Personally biased towards the Kurmanji dialect, but hearing your process on any of it's variations would be incredibly interesting It's a much less known language, and has fewer resources, so it would be interesting to see your strategies when the available content is limited

Thank you This is really helpful
Comment from : Mohammed Khattab

How much and often do you review your vocab? I'm on LingQ for French and listen to a story by Alice Ayel daily (she's great) Do you print a vocab lists daily and memorize new words, or do you mainly just keep listening and reading? I learned Russian, somewhat, at DLI years ago and wasn't sure vocab lists were good for long term retention Thanks
Comment from : escabrosa1

Steve are you of german origin brDo you find germananic or romance languages easier to learn?
Comment from : Josh Uddin

I am currently learning Spanish and Mandarin I am Puerto Rican and my parents did not teach me any Spanish I know bits of other languages (German, Tagalog, Japanese, etc), but I want to stop and learn the two I just put up My reason for learning Mandarin is because I just learned how they use tones and I understood it better
Comment from : Jon Plaud

Its weird Sometimes I can understand everything and sometimes nothing brSometimes I know every word in a sentence but the words are in a order that I have not heard beforebrbrI think its because I'm using the English definition of a word and do not having an actual native understanding
Comment from : Sean Paulson

I watch Steve's videos whenever I need a boost and feel I'm getting nowhere with my language learningbrI find it so tough I don't know how Steve knows so many languages
Comment from : Peter Reid

Excellent video and explanations! Couldn't agree more!

Que pensez-vous des livres pour enfant pour se familiariser dans un premier temps avec une nouvelle langue?
Comment from : Andrée Bélisle

Thanks
Comment from : patfromamboy

Is there a possibility to just talk to you for one hour?brKann ich irgendwie eine Stunde mit dir sprechen?brPeux-je parler avec toi pour justement une heure ?brKan ik gewoon een uur met jou spreeken?brbrI am learning Japanese as fifth language to study English, maths and Japanese as teacher training coursebrJapanese is really challenging me and I need some help

Comment from : Kemal Ünal

I find all your comments very accurate I live in Venezuela and I am trying to learn English together with my 10 year old son Do you think it is always better to have a native tutor in the target language?
Comment from : Shuelys Rodríguez

Do you think it's better to learn one language at a time or can you learn multiple ones at the same time?
Comment from : Julia Stanley

no perfection I even forget some words of my native langauge

Comment from : Yt Yt

Does it mean that during the first stage, we have to memorize vocabulary by listening and reading? Many thanks
Comment from : Zhuofan Chen

Steve, I have watched lots of your videos, and they are very good I think it would be helpful if you did a video on time, how to divide between learning and other duties Thanks
