'Language Learning' is one of the most powerful skills to have in the 21st century with the access to information we have. I learned a lot from studying Italian and I believe I now have a plan to learn Spanish in just 30 days.
Although I NEARLY didn't make it to Catalonia, in part two of this episode, I show the uncut 10-minute conversation I have with Eloi at his home entirely in Spanish.
P.S.
The channel is growing for the first time and it really is unbelievable. The Sirianni Method now has over half a million views and we crossed 20,000 subscribers. Welcome back to regular episodes... from State Of Mind.
Tower Method
1. What words do I use the most? Start with my most common 100, not the internet’s
2. Build 3 towers - verbs, adjectives, articles
3. Connect the towers - study phrases. Learning the words in context
Thanks ❤
How do I find the 100 words
@RedRock125 if you watched the video, it's his top 100 words. So find out what words you use the most, and go from there.
@@jamberry1369 i know that how would I go about finding mine?
@@RedRock125 look at old text messages. Or just start listing words out. I started listing words out. I keep a tiny composition notebook on me for language learning purposes. Learning French rn and keeping up with my Spanish. It is a tremendous help.
Your Italian definitely helped fast track your Spanish in no time
Definetely his italian helped him A LOT.
@bharathiyan no it’s a Romance language so the words are very similar
That’s true, Also if a person speaks Portuguese it is easier for them to learn Spanish, for that reason Spanish is considered one of the most important languages to learn because if you learn it you can easily migrate to other languages such as Italian or Portuguese.
@@user-cm2gm5ii3uthey use similar sounds and words so Italians and Spaniards can understand each other at a basic level. He’s not at the level of your average beginner.
So should i learn Italian first??
the filmography in this is so beautiful??? not what i was expecting when i clicked on a random language youtube video
ayy haha thank you!
Spanish is my 8th language (I'm also teaching myself Italian and Bahasa Indonesian). I find that spending 2-3 hours a day actually using the target language from the first day is very helpful. I am self-taught and had my first video call in Spanish after a month. But there's no way I'd say that it was fluent, and I don't believe that anyone can be fluent in 30 days without any preexisting help, such as a similar language.
damn 8th language? that's impressive! i'm trying to learn spanish too rn mostly by watching yt videos in that language. did you use some similir method for your previous languages? and if not, what do you think helps the most? and btw, what's your mother tongue?
@@herz11 I'm Danish but have been exposed to Norwegian and Swedish. I lived 9 years in Germany and a combined 3 years in Canada and the US. I've spent a total of 4.5 years in Vietnam. That's 6 languages "for free". I learned Mandarin Chinese while in Vietnam and am reasonably fluent in Spanish now. I do understand most French and Dutch even if I don't speak them. My secret? I love linguistics and learning languages. Besides, being 71 years old and retired I've got time to spend about 3 hours a day on learning.
@@NMalteC props to you, that's amazing
That's damn impressive! I'm on my way to becoming a hyperpolyglot (or at least close to it). I already know English, french and arabic and am omw to learning spanish, italian, russian, polish, german, japanese and korean
@@jarbincks6715How do you do it?
this is honestly an eye-opener, as someone who likes to learn languages on a chill, everyday a bit basis, I'm def gonna try this
let's goooo
I am so using this technique for learning korean. The fact that you are explaining the entire thing with that refreshing smile gives me confidence. And thanks for talking about the fact that there are people uploading extremely weird stuff, like the other day i came across a video saying you will be dead after watching this. i was like are you kidding me.
Lots & lots of support!
Oh yes, Congratulations on having 20,000 subscribers.
ahaa let's gooo thank you
Me too! I have been trying self-study for a year now. I have been looking for ways to increase my memory and learning ability and I am so pleased. Using the most weighted words at the core - is the right way...I encountered that the other day. Going back to French is my next target. I feel motivated!
How is this working out for you? I'm considering learning Korean too so i'd love to know if this is a good method for Korean specifically :))
I want to learn Korean with this method too.
But in Korean you don't use he, she, or you. You just use nown
@@zoyaz3366 You can use he, she, or you! It's just that usually they say their title to be more respectful, or their full name instead. It might not be as commonly used, but I think it's still useful to know ^^
Love this method for actual conversational fluency! ¡Gracias! We’re going to ignore the fact that I took 3.5 years of Spanish in high school…and only knew how to say “Thank you for shopping.” 😒🤣🤣
Don't ignore the fact that he already knows Italian and it super close to Spanish,
I know french and it's way easier form me to learn Spanish than German
@@Tinysculpt Thank you for the reminder! I gave up French after 2 lessons! 🤣
If all you can say after 3.5 years of Spanish is thank you for shopping, it's because you don't actually practice speaking.
That's because you have been learning
@@ash_17406 yo aprendí hablar ingles en un nivel b1 intermedio o b2 en 1 año y medio.
i have been taking French for 2 years now but keep losing courage to continue learning it, but now that I’ve watched this video gave me all the courage I needed
as a native speaker, your spanish is really good, you sound eveen without any references, you sound good eveen to a native speaker, it can know perfectly what you are saying
I discovered this channel yesterday, and it’s been amazing. Just started binging all the videos!!
ayy thanks sm
I’m 100% doing this. This really gave me a plan and will make me all that more intentional in learning more languages and helping me to become a polyglot. Thank you so much!!
I've had the goal of becoming a polyglot for a while now and I see how feasible it is! I'd love a video on how to determine your 100 words and what process you came about with it (your list in the description is 73 words - fantastic starting place!!) I did the math and for 30 days it comes out to 10 hours of practice total and only 1.4% of your time over the 30 days. The spaced repetition and consistency is what gets me the most excited. There's a Chinese woman coming to live in our city in 2 months and she wants to meet me because I'm friends with her son. She doesn't speak any English and I want to surprise her! I've always wanted to learn Chinese and now I have a motivation!
ayy that's so great, let me know how it goes
I'm just in awe with your simplicity and baffling methods that ground me to get going, learning and slump my exhaustive and mundane life with something so liberating. You make it sound so beautiful and ethereal. Thank you. It's not just for learning languages, it might just change my life.
Putting the valuable knowledge you share with us aside, the production quality of these videos is astounding. I feel obligated to comment on the video and hope that the algorithm does its thing.
Keep it up!
aye big thanks
I am starting to learn Spanish and i am so grateful that i found this video. I will use this method . Thank you so much . Also the editing and the process is really fun to watch.
I can't believe I found this channel today! Unbelievable quality in content and production!! Don't EVER EEVVEEEERRR stop!
QUESTIONS: How did you decide your word lists? How did you figure our your personal top 100 words? I'm totally in agreement with this method, but would love to see your lists.
I would also like to know these things.
I think he recorded himself
record yourself talking about yourself/things you like and whatever words you say that you don't know in your target language, write them down!
You can see the description, he has provided his list there.
Yooh! How weird is it that I'm doing this exact challenge-barely a week in- after I got the inspiration from your '10 days of learning Italian '... me encanta tu contenido!
ayy gracias 🙏
You are actually so right about the fact that most TH-cam videos are something that we can’t do, but this one is! Props to you for putting this video on TH-cam because it’s really helpful. I’ve wanted to learn Korean, French and Hindi for a long time but I just never got started because I was scared of the time and dedication it would take but with this method I feel like I could tackle each language one at a time.
most important thing is to just begin. learn 5 words today and it'll help build excitement
@@State-Of-Mind yess it’s true!! I tried it with french and I’ve been so motivated every day. Thank you for your tips :)
Your vibe is amazing and this is exactly what I needed to hear to continue growing with Spanish!!
thank you so much!
I found your channel through your video on how you got photographic memory. I had thought it would just be another video I watch and don't really get much from from but I was completely wrong. From the way you explained the method you used with the notecards (the title, picture, informal summary, and relation) and how it worked for you is truly amazing. This video also gives me a new approach to learning as I have set a goal to learn a new language this summer. Thank you for sharing these videos and I am shocked how underrated you are given these videos are absurdly good in quality!
ayy thank you! that's so great
Hi! It's amazing that I found you and your method! I'm going to start my Spanish today. Actually, it's my 6th language. Wish me success and I'll write in 30 days🤓
aye mi vida! buena suerte y que lo disfrutes
Muchos gracias! Hoy es solo mi segundo día y he dicho un pequeño texto com mi palabras mas comunes. ¡Lo logre!🎉¡Tu método es genial!🙏
I actually had a goal of learning atleast 7 languages before dying and when I started I did duolingo i didn't knew there were big communities and all Or anything I thought duolingo was a sole resource that teach you and i did it for 3 months straight 30mins but i soon realized that this won't work seeing now that there are vids on yt about I'm fully motivated to start with Japanese :) thx for telling me about this method I'll also try watching everything in my targed language
7 languages??? Wow, how many do you speak so far?
@@hollow1353 3 fluently and 2 a little
It has been already, but the quality of your production and presentation is incredible and engaging. I rarely comment, but I had to say something. Subbed 👏
The production value of this vid is insane. Thank you for sharing your journey learning spanish and taking the time to make this vid!
This is awesome. I'm about to start learning French for a similar youtube video where I'll meet and speak with my French friends at the end of the 30 days. Your video is super helpful and well done. Incredible stuff man, looking forward to watching you grow
ay thanks man good luck
I did something similar and started with numbers, but for some reason, I never thought to learn just the most used words first. You saying that really just made me look at my notes like "Why didn't I think of the most obvious thing in the world? If I want this to stick...use the things you use every day..." Thank you for your insight. This is literally my second video and I can already tell I hit the lotto around the point you said "I'm not going to put a helmet on my head for a week. Why would I do that?" My man. You instantly became one of my favorite people. Teaching people and using reason. I look forward to more of your content.
OMG! That is amazing! I've just finished a 6 week beginners course in Spanish and I don't feel anywhere near as ready to speak Spanish as you did after just a few days.
I'm signing up for the next course but will implement your tower system right next to it and see where I am before our trip to España. Muchos Gracias!!!
yeah man it's ALL about the words you choose to memorize 💪
This video came at the right time, literally starting today to learn Spanish I really appreciate the simplicity in this. Aside from that awesome technique your cinematography and videography is impeccable. Thank you 🧡
Man I must try this method. I have beeb learning spanish in school, not very seriously, for 3 years and Ive only realised how much I can speak and how much I love it recently. I also def recommend to watch shows in your target language and write down when you hear a new word. Can also try to find people that speak it and hav3 conversations with them. Even if you use a lot google translate to help you you will see some words that come often in the conversations and even learn slang. For example: pana, pronto... and others are new words that i learnt naturally by talking to people. Thank you for that video!
You are such a cool guy.....I really love yours method its so super cool,learning this way..Im also spainsh learning student,and Im really using this method....Thank you so much.....😊😊
I'm from Indonesia and thanks for helping me finding a way to learning Spanish! Ur video is so cool!!
On 27th January your vdo on getting photographic memory bumped in my feed...you can't believe since then I'm following your method, and get a drastic improvement....
And literally nowadays I was thinking to learn German, again your vdo showed up....MAN u r life saver 💖
I started learning Spanish a month ago and I've memorized some basics. I'll try this method next.
Did you become fluent ?! it's been a year
@@Soloolololllooooo lol still not fluent. I only did this method for a few days and I got tired of it. I'm still relying on Duolingo and doing daily lessons on Duolingo for more than a year now.
this video was so amazing ! i want to learn spanish because i go to spain twice a year usually and i want to be able to converse with the people. but also i think learning languages is sort of a hobby for me i just think it’s really fun
ayy it should be really fun
I've heard bits and pieces of this method of learning a foreign language that is focusing on the most common words that you use in your naive tongue. But this is the first time I have heard of combining it with common phases to develop practical speaking skills.
I'm definitely going to follow you.
yooo thanks sm
Spanish is my Language and omg I must say you really did well hahaha, I mean you didn't even need to conjugate you know, all the rules behind... that's great, now I feel so encorage to learn korean with your method I will give it a try... Thank you so much for your content
Your video actually motivated me to learn spanish. Thankyou
Thank you, i am going to commit to this method. My wife is Spanish and I speak very little of her language(a few words and phrases). It will mean the world to my wife if learn to have conversations with her in Spanish.
I am going to do this for 6-12 months secretly then surprise her.
Love the editing and cinematography. Makes what could be a very boring subject, very watchable. My attempts to learn Spanish using babble failed miserably. I'm going to give this a whirl.
I am literally just now starting to try to learn Spanish, and this technique seems amazing. Definitely going to use this one now
💪💪💪
Wow! You just inspired me to learn it. I go back to Spain in two months.
this vid was amazing really inspired me to continue learning Italian. hoping for more frequent uploads.
Did anyone notice the 100 most common words are actually around 78 lol.
Keep up the great work and produce more bangers!!
I'm currently learning Arabic. Although I have improved a lot. I'm not yet fluent. I'll try to combine your method with mine and see where it will take me. May God bless you
You are one of my inspiration!! Like you are a good learner, disciplined. Your channel *need* to be bought in light!
I salute the effort. What comes to my mind is that there seems to be a difference between learning to say a few things and having the ability to understand Spanish spoken at a normal everyday speed. 20 minutes a day or even 8 hours a day for a month isn't going to accomplish this. I'd say think in terms of hundreds of hours of listening. Memorising words and phrases might help but there's more to it
I was just thinking of learning Japanese 'cause an hour ago, I got this crazy idea of going to uni abroad, more specifically Japan! I'm super excited! Thank you so much for this incredible method! Definitely gonna try it out for learning Japanese. Thank you
Thank you so much for this! I have thought about taking classes in spanish next year, but have been worried that I won't be able to complete them (because I am usually not very good at learning a new language) - but this gives me a lot of hope for the future. I will for sure give it a try :)
i can literally feel how good, kind and positive person you are through this video. send lots and lots of love to you, you really deserve it 💓💓💓
I'm on my first week of learning Spanish and I found you! Gracias!
I like how you memorized the most common words you use and mapped it in your mind between english and spanish. Did you have any specific way of learning conjugations? Did you just memorize the conjugations you would use the most? Did a lot of the verb conjugations carry over from Italian?
hes using his basis of italian conjugation it seems and yes spanish and italian verb conjugation is very similar
The way I did it is i started to learn how to conjugate, like what and why to put something where, but after a while I started saying things so much that I just had them memorized, and I no longer have to thing about conjugating in most situations.
This is exactly how I learned Swahili, with a tiny little book, just like his. I didn't know there was a name for it!
So glad I found you, I’m recovering from a stroke and neuroplasticity is even, language learning promotes neuroplasticity. Thank you 🙏
Best learning language video I've seen, great job!
The better way also is to watch films, series in Spanish with English subtitles. Then when you have your ear trained and used to hear it, try to watch any media with Spanish subtitles. Or listen to music in Spanish. Your vocabulary gets so widely! Of course practicing the speaking with people will get you there to be fluent.
Soy Española, y te puedo assegurar que vas muy bien con tu proceso y con tu pronunciación. Nunca te rindas. ❤mucho amor desde Catalunya.
Al ver esto, me doy cuenta de que llevo mas de un ano y medio mas o menos aprendiendo espanol y aun tengo mucho por aprender por supesto ! aprender un nuevo idoma no es una carrera pero es un maraton y segun mi experienca 1 mes solo para aprender un nuevo idioma es casi imposible !!
@@mki1104 Es muy difícil llegar a tener un nivel alto en sólo un mes, además de que en español hay muchos acentos i cosas que has de añadir a las palabras para que tengan el sentido adecuado. Por ejemplo, en el comentario has puesta "ano" eso significa "annus". Lo que querías poner era "año" que significa "year". Pero estas cosas se aprenden con práctica y tiempo.
@@MiaMinez hola gracias por la correcion pero lo que queria decir es que es super dificil de aprender cualquier idioma en solo un mes. que tenga un buen dia
@@mki1104 pero vas muy bien, solo enserio, escribe año en lugar de ano, te va ahorrar muchas situaciones vergonzosas jaja
@@stevendeveloper si claro jejej gracias
I'm trilingual and searching videos to learn another language, Spanish. Thanks for your tips and I'll try your tips for learning Spanish right away. Cheers!
It is a pleasure to watch your video! So beautiful and inspiring
Great video!!!! I'm going to try to take this approach with my Spanish journey as well. I've tried everything and nothing seems to actually stick with me, so thank you for this video, i feel more motivativated to continue learning Spanish.
Isn't he adorable? ❤ Thank you for sharing this method!
hey ! it's my first time ever i comment to someone that is you cause the idea and informatioms that i just took from this video are just super amazing ! thank you so much , it's also the firts time i watch a video of yours and im so lucky for discovering this .
thank you again for the amount of eneregy you just gave , Im thinking about using the tower method on all the 3 languages Im learning .
ayy that was a good first comment haha thanks sm
Yess! new video, love it!! Every single one of your videos blow my mind. Learning something new, definitely one of my favorite channels since the moment I discovered you.
hell yeah thanks man
Este es una inspiración. Muy bonito a ver que tú puedes aprender todos los idiomas usando esta metodología.
I've been taking a test every year called OBA (Olimpíada Brasileira de Astronomia or Brazilian Astronomy Olympics). I'm currently in 8th grade and I started taking this test in 6th grade. How it works it: kids from 6th to 9th grade take this test and they can get a medal (bronze, silver or gold) depending on their score. I got a golden medal in the past 2 years, hopefully going to get a golden this year too. But the thing is: if I take the test next year and get a golden, I'll be selected to take 2 tests for the internationals, none of them being in my native language. I already speak english fluently but the other test will be in spanish and your video gave me a LOT of motivation to start. If you've learned that much in a moth, imagine what I can learn in a year and a half! Thank you for doing this!
thank you so much this video was super helpful and i felt like am watching a friend sharing knowledge with me, am going to be using this method to learn japanese and german
im so grateful this video gave me such good perspective
Verbs, adjective, and articles got it
Can you explain what articles are?
@@leonaise7546 I'm also dying to know? In English, we have "the" as our definite article and then "a/an" as our indefinite ones. That's only 3 words. Is he including determiners like "this", "that" etc.?
@@icyxkash probably
Your video gives me inspiration and confidence in learning spanish!
Gracias! For sharing this beautiful journey
Dude your editing is insane
this is the first video i found from you and I definitely thought you were an established, mainstream channel with millions of subs lol. your cinematography and personality is on point. keep it up!
This is a great video! Well done sir! As you are explaining your process, it dawns on me that is what I did with my language studies for the first time when I studied Spanish too! Funny! Thanks again! Keep making great content!
Your 3 day progress looks better than what I learned in a 1 year course
Thanks so much for the inspiration!!!😊
Planning on studying abroad in Spain. I've been learning spanish on and off for 5 years. I wanna study spanish again this year. Your vid is super motivating.
This was so inspiring ❤️thank you for this video
🙏🙏🙏
soy hablante nativo del español que esta aun esta en proceso de adquirir el inglés
tomaré muchos de tus consejos y lo aplicaré para el idioma inglés.
me gusto verte hablando en español , te felicito al menos ya eres capaz transmitir ideas y comunicarte, vamos sigue asi!
mannnnnnn ur editing levels are on next levell...
Just discovered your channel from a Instagram recommendation page. Best wishes and love from India. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your method. Hopefully my Spanish journey will improve and go quicker as well🙏😁
Dude you checkmated me
Knowing Italian is like knowing 82% of Spanish
Es increible como la gente aprende un nuevo idioma en tan poco tiempo y tan bien. Nunca había oído sobre the tower method, intentaré usarlo para aprender otros idiomas. En mi caso sé suficiente inglés como para entender este video, pero me gustaría mejorarlo. Muchas gracias por este video, ha sido muy informativo.
I have found a really good channel after a really long time. a breath of fresh air!
ahh thanks man 🙏
I genuinely believe these top 100 word posts online are mostly just made up, because they don't even match the actual frequency dictionaries of the language that have a scientific research method behind them. I just noted down the top 100 in Spanish straight from the frequency dictionary and most of those words are stuff like "the" "us" "to go" "a lot" and just words you believe are actually necessary for the language besides your own top words.
QUESTION: How did you get in the practice of hearing just those specific words in conversation?
95% of all language programs force feed either a designed vocabulary list, set phrases, or(-includive) pre-set lines and conversations for practice e.g. Pimselur, Living Language, even the movies with clickable subtitles.
One of the most confidence boosting language learning method is Michel Thomas. Within 8 hours one can be ready for conversation. The big con with his method though is not enough experience with hearing the target langauge talked at the learner.
Memorization and practicing vocalizing (pronouncing) the target language various person to person. What defines fluency is understanding when spoken to.
So the phenomena most talk about when not knowing a language is how fast the speaking is especially with Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, . . . heck with almost any language.
The biggest hurdle is linking the audio sounds of a word stream to parse out the individual words.
Now audio learners might have a easier time than, say, visual learners but the hurdle remains.
This video is visually so stunning
ay thanks sm
Im going to try and use this method. I have been so overwhelmed trying different things. Key is consistency for sure.
@@courtneywilkerson6131 yeah consistency really feels like everything, i'm headed to South America soon and still using this method before i get there
@@State-Of-Mind that’s exciting! Im going to Costa Rica in January. I want to be comfortable getting around with Spanish before the trip.
@@courtneywilkerson6131 ayy that'll be sick! i can't wait to go to central america some day:)
Thank you so much for sharing!
Right now you are my top favourite creator man!!! ....and this is soooo tempting for meh to try out.
ay thanks sm
Italian is also similar to Spanish so it helps a lot.
Your editing skills are crazy!
Brilliant! Thanks for the idea and the illustration.
as people have mentioned already: knowing italian helps. but i want to emphasize that actually writing the words is extremely helpful for memorizing
Great video! Could you possibly update the description with the Spanish words under your list? It would be very helpful for anyone else learning Spanish specifically
this is exactly the same method I'm using to learn spanish at the minute! I feel like I'm picking lots of stuff up very quickly
idk who does your camera and visual works but it's like phenomenal. i was sold at the intro part
it's all me 💪
damn bruh, that's not how you save money !!
nah, but too good brother.
You are amazing!
I'm going to use this method to try learn other language
ole Carlitos! tu método mola ^^
amazing movie!! Thank you!! I am really impressed))
I clicked on the video thinking it was clickbait anyways but... wow I speak spanish fluently and you are amazing!!!
Man this is genious🎉
