Just started learning German 5 days ago and I never thought to learn the noun alongside the gender? Thanks for the tip I will keep this in mind.
I can't stop staring at you. Great Lesson.
Hello Alina! Thank you for the video and the tips. Yes, you are right 💯 You are an excellent motivator and teacher 👍🏻 Best wishes, Gerold 👋🏻
Hi Alina Thank you Where do you live?
🌈🌈🌈 One of the pitfalls in your language progress is not concentrating on the most commonly used verbs, adjectives and vocabulary as a beginner language learner. Then you have to see those verbs, adjectives and vocabulary in different contexts. Then you have to listen to those contexts over and over again. 🌈🌈🌈 🌈🌈🌈 If your foreign language has a different script than your native language, then a different approach might be needed. 🌈🌈🌈 I am still learning different ways towards acquiring Modern Standard Arabic, which is known to be a notorious language to master as a native English speaker🌈🌈🌈
加油!What's your take on immersion?
i have a question Im at a desk for 8 hours and have free time all day. I cant really listent to content or weite. I could text, read what would you recommend. How would you break up the tiem?
I learned english and french by watching youtube videos, not by wasting time in grammar rules. Grammar is a waste of time. Human learn languages by listening and understanding in the context.
Yeah, but english has pretty simple grammar compared to say german or russian. If you try going into the language without at least a basic framework, you will take ages to decipher it yourself.
@@sauloramos9881 if a person want to learn a language to speak native people. listening is the best way. If that person wants to learn a language for academic purposes, so he need grammar and writing skills . Languages are like music instrument, if you like the guitar you will learn how to play your favorit songs. you don't need to read music symbols. but if you learned how to read him it will help you a lot.
@@amazing-u1z Yeah, but learning the basic grammar structures while listening will speed up the learning process incredibly. Makes recognizing patterns easier. We're not disagreeing btw, I completely agree with your statement haha.
Thank you very much!!!
Hola!!!
Lol 😅u remind me a lot of myself ... my mindset is just like yours, i guess the more language you learn the more u see yourself on other people, by the way thanks for the tips on german, much appreciated dear.
If I just could ask how long took u to pack your german, I'm aware that time is irrelevant just curiosity
I don't understand how people can skip parts of learning a language. People do it with characters in Mandarin and the subjunctive in Spanish, and if anyone thinks these are skippable without it being immediately obvious, they're wrong.
I've achieved a master level of fluency in the English language all thanks to one simple tactic Being born in England
Total stratagem
❤
Thanks!
Do you have Instagram ?? I think you should create channel
I am studying English now. My English level is low. So I’m learning a lot from your videos. I will improve my English. I am looking forward to your videos in the future. Thank you from Japan😊
I'm learning English as well; good luck on your journey, my friend♥️ Hugs from Brazil♥️♥️
I'm happy to help you! Your support motivates me a lot☺Good luck on your language learning journey!
@@papitosan131 I see I should share more tips on English learning 😁desejo a você um feliz aprendizado!
@@alinaslearningcorner obrigado, Alina♥️♥️ I loved your video♥️♥️
@@papitosan131 Thank you so much!!
❤❤❤❤
Thanks!
What is your native language?
I speak both Russian and Ukrainian from childhood
@@alinaslearningcorner Do you understand Polish? And is learning Polish easier when speaking Ukrainian and Russian? I speak a little and understand Russian well, but I can't understand Ukrainian at all. I wish you success in your projects and plans, all the best!
Thanks teacher 🌷

🇧🇷♥️🙂

I really enjoy your accent and your English is very pleasant to listen to
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this information. By the way i am watching from india.
I'm happy to help! स्वागत☺
It's not english. It's russian using english words.
I think Duolingo is not bad, to a degree. Beyond a certain stage of learning, immersion is best, or going to a night school, and as Alina says, switch into the target language as much as possible
Thanks for sharing!
Can you do 1 video on how you learned German and the tools you used and tried?
I'll make sure to make a video about it!
This tip "find a job" is something new, nobody has ever said that here on youtube. I can attest, It really works. A few months after starting this new job I was already writing formal texts to clients, answering phone calls. You are forced to learn because you don't want to let the company down. It's a kind of "school" as well, you learn a lot from co-workers and people. When you ask questions about the language they are happy to help.
unconventional??
aren't some of them?😁
Ni How ma?
I just met my chinese girlfriend two weeks ago. She doesn't speak german so we can only talk in english. But I've been busy learning chinese, after two weeks I know (and can write) more than 50 characters and sometimes I don't even have to translate her text messages anymore (:
That's really cool! Wishing you become fluent soon💫
I’m watching your videos from Japan. Your English is very easy to listen to. I’ve subscribed to your channel today. I’m looking forward to the next video. Good luck and thank you 😊
私のTH-camチャンネルへようこそ! Thank you for your support❤
Joining the French foreign legion is always an option for learning an extra language, although perhaps a bit of an unconventional method to do so..
Haha!! You don't say? 😂
very unconventional haha
Thanks ❤
I'm happy to help☺
Alina could you please share with us some good Russian self-study books for intermediate learners?
Well, Russian is my first language, so I'm not sure I can provide valid advice on it😅 However, I could share some thoughts on this topic
Thank you!!
Hola Alina
Welcome!
I want to achieve my goals but unfortunately I have no speaking friend my speaking is a little bit good. I want to speak to someone. Could you help me please?
I have no English language friend, and how to improve my English speaking?
Fair point🤔There are apps that you can use to find language partners, apps like Tandem, HelloTalk and Speaky. I'll make sure to share some more ideas for this struggle in my next videos ☺
@@alinaslearningcorner Thank you so much, have a great day
Awesome, thank you for being thoughtful :D
Thank you!
Thank you for the tips!! Super helpful, your effort is much appreciated :p
I'm happy to help☺
Thanks from the UK 😄 I'm learning Japanese
That's cool!
@@alinaslearningcorner thanks 😅
This was a great video, thank you. I love listening to the traditional music of the people who's language I'm learning, but I haven't tried that whilst actively learning! I am excited to try it. I am focusing on Mandarin Chinese at the moment but also studied Spanish, Italian and Bengali! Also forgive me for darkening a very positive video but I was shocked to hear you are in Kyiv! I pray you and your family remain safe.
Thank you for your comment and your support! I really appreciate it☺
thanks for you video Alina, you are doing a great job
Thank you for your support 🙏😊
You are so smart in languages
@@Folkboy-b3e Thank you!
Very important tips! Thank you for sharing 😀
I'm happy to help☺
Hi ima new sub :) im currently learning korean but everyone around me says its not useful also my family doesn't encourage me at all , i learned English by myself so now i wanna learn a new one which is korean i think its a hobby ( my first language is arabic btw)
That sounds really cool, it takes lots of effort to learn a language by yourself💪 I totally get you. My family also told me that I didn't need Chinese and shouldn't have spent time on it. Now they tell me that it's great that I speak Chinese and that I should learn Arabic or Farsi too😁 Thanks for following❤ I hope my videos will be helpful and will encourage you to keep going with learning languages
Imagine being from a family that has enough money for a tutor
I agree 😢 I share lots of tips how to learn for free on my channel, check out the video about Coursera 😊
