You know you broke the system when you forget a word in your 1st language but remember it in english🗿

Everyone is talking about meaning of the video,but i gotta say it- this skeleton gifs are so cursed

Thank you, now I don't feel like a weirdo who learned English at 7 or so because didn't know where the settings were so I ended up knowing what everything meant

I got acces to a computer since i was young, around 5yo, i used to play random stuff on the internet during those days, when minecraft became popular i started watching videos on youtube, mostly spanish since im from Mexico and during that time i knew absolutely zero english, usually youtube recomendatiions were about videogames, but mostly in english and at first i didnt really watched them, but one day i decided to watch a video about some guy playing a shooter i didn't knew about, i started playing that game and most of the playerbase spoke english, so if i wanted to watch something about it, it had to be in english, slowly i started to "understand" some words, using them while playing, i never really noticed that the more i watched the more i learned the language, i kept like that, watching videos on the internet about that game i liked, i kept bouncing from game to game and from video to video until one time while playing some guy started talking to me, i spoke back to him, didnt noticed at first but couple minutes later i suddently realized that i spoke english, maybe not the most fluent english, but i did it, i started to make friends only who spoke english, thus, learning english subconsciously, some years later during 2020 i kept watching videos about stuff that i tought was interesting, science, programmation, physics and obviously by the most part videogames, slowly "expanding" my vocabulary, nowdays i can watch videos, hear music or just have a casual conversation with someone that speaks english, during vacations my mom used me as a translator since my mom knows next to nothing about english, with people she met that were from the USA, nowdays i wouldn't say i know 100% of the language or about its grammar, tho i know how to difference from word that sound similar, like "this, these" and stuff like that, also the use of the " ' " tho i don't quite use it since most of the time while i chat with someone either one of us use it, but if im writting something serious like at work, i try my best to keep the grammar correct, i always try keep learning the language either watching videos, listening to books or just speaking with someone that his native language is English... If you're learning english with this "method" it will definitely be easier than if you study it, but studying it might be faster... I recently been watching videos on differnent languages, slowly learning them too, if you watch about things you like it gonna help a lot, if youre studying any language, i reccomend listening to stuff you like in that language, it really helps a lot...

ao3 is the goat

I knew it when i was watching a movie and then i realised i could understand At that moment i talked to my father of how i wasnt even reading the subtitles and he was surprised not that much but it was a special moment for me

I understand most of spoken Japanese just from watching anime.

Buenos momos

i love skeletons

3yr old me just knew english, like, it literally spawned in my head, and i almost perfected it in less than a year, but one day i literally forgot everything, remember, it was literally ONE FRICKING DAY, literally one day, so, yeah, now it just respawned in my head 2 years ago

When I started playing Roblox, I always hoped to join german servers. But that didn´t happen often, so I used the google translater on the side. After some time, I started to memories singular words and before I knew it, I wrote without it´s help. I also started watching english youtubers, so I also understood how it´s spoken. And when we started speaking english in school plus my mom´s boyfriend only able to communicate with us in english, I mastered the speaking part as well. So now, I would say, I´m better at english, than at german. :P (And It often happens that I forget a word in one language, but know it in the other. Plus, english is much smoother to talk/write/listen in.)

Yeah this makes sense, but idk how to make it work for other languages, maybe they dont seem as interesting as my 5yo brain thought English was

nice video + nice skeletons + nice enditing + everyone cares + W

I Remember when it happened I was like "I'm listening to it, but i don't have to translate it in my heard anymore, am I really understanding it?" The answer was yes

loved this

I think videogames and TH-cam did that for me

Thank you putting words on this feeling

i learned english listening to the same song, and repeating it over and over and at sime point i learned how to use "will when how what"

☠

cool

me who started learning german and didnt finish, now speaking it fluently: hi

12 y/o me watchin Food Battle X by smosh realized i started understanding them without translation. I perfected my language knowledge with school, but it was not the source of it. As a fellow teacher i thank you, i'd be trying to explain this concept forever but never had the chance to express it in a so polished way. Thx a LOT 🔥

Gonna put this into my relatable playlist

I'm here to support Benjamin!

i heared to much english

i have aquired english at the cost of forgetting about 60% of my first language, polish and i dont regret anything HAHA HAHAAHA HAAAAHAHAHAA

when i was 10, i somehow learned english on roblox and then started writing books, speaking and doing everything in english, then after a year i SOMEHOW got a c1 certificate when i turned 11

3:03 NOT GENSHIN IMPACT

Not just english, other language as well do happens

This is so true. I purposely acquired English, when I was little it's what my sister taught me, to be "conditioned" to English. I changed the language in my phone, stopped watching Hispanic TH-camrs and only watched videos in english (shootout to Markiplier for my English vocabulary haha). I also looked forward to talking in English with people (Twitter, Instagram, etc) Until one day it was just natural. I'm still not good but at least I can understand. 👍

omg im 13 i learned english when i was 11 i always wondered like "how tf did i even learn english" since i really didnt care abt my english teachers this video explained it 100%

Might be because i Started to watch English shows movies and song from an early age it has become a second language to me sometimes i even more proficient in English because my native language is difficult just to many vowels and letters.

Learning vs adquiring a language a graphic example: learning: 🍎-> manzana (native language: spanish) -> apple (second language) adquiring: 🍎-> apple (second language) / 🍎-> manzana (native language: spanish) I would like to add that adquiring a language is just as long and difficult as learning. It's not better but different and it comes naturally. If you thing about it, your first language took you at least 3 years to be able to speak with very basic grammar and lots of mistakes and mispronunciation. 3+ years and you were exposed to the language 24/7, unable to communicate effectively and being your top priority to learn this survival skill. My point is both methods should be used to learn. Learn gramatic and the technicisms of the language, and expose yourself to it: listen it and try to catch up the phonemes, the rytmth, later differenciate words. Also use very direct and simple resources to learn vocabulary so your brain connect the objects with the word and not as a translation. On another level, identify vocabulary you've learned and read texts with translations of a language you're fluent (it helps to get abstract vocabulary by deducting which words share the same meaning), analyse the relationship between words, try to understand the meaning by context. All that work was done gently and slowly in those 3+ years just by survival instincts so you're most than capable of doing it faster by doing it consciously.

OH GOD, THAT'S ME one day just whatching a jaiden animation video I just realized, wait a second this isn't the fandub IT'S THE ORIGINAL. I can fully undestand and read english but my speaking is absolutely null

I know grammar, I just can't explain it lol

does this mean if I watch japanese videos all day long it will randomly spawn in my head like english?

No I learned it, like any other language

I have no idea what's going on with all the skeletons in the background (love it though), but this video was actually really helpful :)

Well, this explains a lot

Also how tf you have so many skeletons vids

OMG this vídeo hits too hard from start to end Tysm

That's how I "learned" it and teachers hate it, most of them are like "ok it's great but study those 150 words with irregular grammar just because even though you can use them without thinking" like, I knew the grammar of some word in a phrase but asking me "so you put this word to the past tense" Idk give me a sentence and I'll be able to

This is the way I learn anything, cant deal with school bullshit at all

How does this channel so accurately describe topics that are familiar to me? Even psychologist channels (and meetings with psychologists) seemed like empty chatter to me, but here the videos touch every string of my soul. I'm at the first stage, and honestly have no idea how to move forward, but it was a small relief to listen to this video.

kaeya fanfic ahahah

Skeletron

Just realised, Just how much of the comment section was non - native English speakers.

you know when you randomly get counciusness when you can start knowing what time it is maybe we passively learn english in the subcouncius and suddenly get put in your brain when you gain conciusness
