Love these tips! I pretty much stopped studying Korean and just read webtoons, blogs, watch youtube videos by native speakers, read recipes, chat to friends online and offline etc and I feel a lot better than just studying
I’m actually going to try extensive reading for the first time to see if it helps improve my Spanish. My public library is small and has a limited selection so I’m reading the Harry Potter series, again, but this time in Spanish. 🙂
Hi Noseporquien! That's a great strategy! I used the first two Harry Potter books when I was learning Spanish, and it was great. Please let me know how that goes for you!
También hay muchas lecturas graduadas en Amazon. La versión kindle suele ser muy barata, solo dos o tres dólares. Otra alternativa es leer cómics. A mí me gusta leer Tintín en español con mis estudiantes, ¡son muy entretenidos! Puedes encontrar los libros en PDF con una búsqueda en Google. 😊
This method is good if you already have a basic foundation in the language your studying, this is my own opinion people. There is no short cut to learning languages, this methods Fingtam gives are good for practice but I think language fundamentals are important if you want to use the language for work etc haha It becomes fun when you can actually read without struggling as well as speaking and listening
He mentioned duolingo. Despite all the hate, there is no better way to build a base in the language. As long as you don't think your 1000 day streak means you are fluent....
Grands conseils Aaron ! J'aime lire des nouvelles (short stories) en français. Ils m'aident à apprendre de nouveaux mots. J'écoute aussi de la musique française tous les jours. Et j'ai un leçon avec mon tuteur iTalki demain.
@@FingtamLanguages I didn't think the volume was very low, but it was quieter than some other videos. Everybody on TH-cam should get in the habit of doing a mic check at the start of a video (looking at a VU meter or the equivalent) and then checking again in editing where you should be able normalize it pretty easily. If your software doesn't let you do this download HitFilm Express, which is free, powerful, and easy to use. Also, often the best thing you can do to improve audio is to get the mic closer to your your face. There's nothing wrong with having it in the frame. If it's really close it helps to add a pop filter (basically a windscreen for aspirated stops) on a flexible arm; that should cost you $10-$20.
This is genuinely excellent advice. Let me offer one defense of grammar references (which you've spoken favorably of yourself, of course): It is very useful to have a basic idea how a language works. If you're learning German, for example, it helps to know going in that nouns have four cases and to know at least in a general way what those cases are used for. Unfortunately, traditional grammar texts tend to obscure this by simultaneously force-feeding the student tables of endings for four cases, three genders, and two numbers. Likewise it helps to have a general notion of postpositions in Japanese, suffixed articles in North Germanic languages, noun classifiers in languages such as Chinese, etc. A reference grammar can be also be helpful because native speakers so deeply internalize their grammars that they have trouble explaining it. The average English speaker, for example, is barely aware of the grammar of modal auxiliaries. Most of us would likewise be unable to explain how "to have" and "to be" are used to distinguish active and passive, even though we certainly know the difference between "to have eaten" and "to be eaten"!
I agree. Grammar lessons in my native language at school were as if the teacher tried to teach us how to walk by calling all the muscles you use for it by their latin names. I learned to seal my ears against this kinda stuff! Then in foreign languages there were those endless tables... Today I found a completely different approach to grammar for myself. It's mainly through active use of the language - *especially* at beginner level: I start writing! For that I need to know the order of the words that I have learned or find in an dictionary. It might happen that I puzzle hours and hours on a short text, wildly flipping through the pages of four different books and forgetting time and everything about it. At the end I have a text result - and learned tons of grammar by having fun with something that feels like a riddle and not like grammar. I also had a situation where I needed to find an overview about a new language at the beginning because all the beginner ressources I found told me different ways to say "How are you?" and "My name is... What's your name?" and I wanted to know why and which I should choose.
Sorry but this DOES NOT work. I've done LingQ, Rosetta Stone, Olly Richard's course, watched 100s of Steve Kauffman videos. It wasn't until I joined Baselang and got formal teaching on grammar etc that I really started learning. You can NOT start to speak from day 1, how can you when you don't know anything. These types of videos are really tedious and there are thousands of them out there.

Great video! It's a shame the volume is so low, maybe there's a problem with your mic? Looking forward to more videos with tips like this!
Thanks! Sorry about the volume. This video is a bit quieter than my other ones, so I'll have to make sure I turn the mic up a bit in future videos.

Does teaching a language via TH-cam earns any revenue? Please someone guide thru? 😢
2:50 stories are great, but there are none for Turkish or Vietnamese :|
How to learn English?

Can I interview you on Instagram for my English course?
I couldn't understand anything

but i like learning about french grammar... ) :
You can do that if you want, but don't allow grammar study to replace actual practice.
how the fuck i can speak or write to ppl while i don't know shit
