This was an amazing video! Every concept was presented very clearly and in a simple way. I've seen people talk about "acquiring" the language instead of learning but you're the first one that explains it. Lenguia sounds like a platform that's too good to be true, I'm excited to check it out! Happy to hear that you're learning Spanish which is my native language. ¡Excelente video!
Awesome, thank you! Lenguia is not THAT good yet, but it has a lot of potential in my opinion. I‘m working on it every day and improving it. A lot of work, but comments like yours are such a reward 🫶

For now spanish, english, french, italian and german. There will be 5+ more within the next 14 days. I also want to support languages with different signs/alphabets until the end of the year. Targeting mostly mandarin, japanese and korean.
I learned Japanese from watching and listening to a lot of Japanese content over the last 4 years. I wanted to be able to understand Japanese speech so I just practiced trying to understand it every day while learning as much new vocabulary any time I could. Personally, I didn't spend too much time just watching "i+1" beginner content with as I found it too boring. I just watched what I was interested in and made "i+1" Anki cards out if that material. In a 20 min TV episode or TH-cam video there's always some sentences that I could use to make "i+1" sentence cards with.
@@PrinceOfSlytherin It's a sentence where I know every word in it except one. That way I can learn not just the meaning of the word, but also the context in how the word is used. As an example say I don't know the word and kanji 国 (くに), but come across this sentence where I know the kanji and words 彼 (かれ, he), 帰る (かえる, return), も (also), and に (to or towards), 彼も国に帰る (karemo kunini kaeru, He also returns to his country). I can use that sentence to learn that Kuni means country as well as helps me remember the other words in the sentence each time I review it. It's kind of difficult to find sentences like that if you are just beginning as obviously you won't know any words yet. Using regular single word flash cards to learn the first 500ish words before looking for i+1 sentences is a good idea.
My Spanish started sky rocketing once I started reading in Spanish to my daughters, they don’t understand anything, and neither do I haha but it’s a sweet time to invite them into my passion and hobby.
Hallo Till, es ist schön zu sehen, dass du (wieder) etwas gefunden hast, wofür du brennst. Vielleicht hat es ja sogar das Potenzial, zu deinem Ikigai zu werden. Ich werde mir auch mal Lenguia anschauen. Und denke an die "1000 true fans"... Mich hast du auf jeden Fall schon!
I studied english for 7 years at school and I was unable to even have a basic conversation. It start to stich when I could watch tv series in english, and then I had to write and speak in english because of my work and my hobbies. Now I have an intermediate level and I'm blocked 😅😅
I loved your video! I’m learning Greek☺️If I could provide a bit of feedback? The background music made it really hard for me to focus and I had to keep pausing and lowering the volume 😄
You are second person saying this, thanks for the feedback, will adjust for the next video! I use music to drive the script and story forward, but it should not break your focus obviously.
@@tillmusshoff thanks for your reply! I feel that your content is engaging enough where you don’t necessarily need music, or maybe softer music at a lower volume? What distracts me is fast and repetitive sounds and rhythms. Undiagnosed neurodivergence I’m sure😅
I agree with you on repeated listening. I did this with audiobooks while I was a taxi driver; I would listen to Spanish or German audiobooks while I drove, and repeat each chapter twice. It definitely reaped benefits, but, ultimately, listening to each and every chapter twice negatively impacted my enthusiasm, so I stopped.
By hearing it in many different contexts. There are lota of things that can’t be directly translated, becauae they simply don’t exist in your native language.
Und wieso sollte ich diese Methode anwenden, wenn der Erfinder selber viele grammatikalische Fehler macht? Er hat anfangs da seine zwei Sätzchen oder so genannt, und da mehrere Fehler drin gehabt. Was soll mir das sagen? Lern die Sprache grob und Freestyle? Ich möchte ja schon korrekt sprechen.
Das kommt nach viel Zeit und Input, die Stephen Krashen hier vermutlich noch nicht hatte. Fehler machen gehört zum Lernprozess auch dazu meiner Meinung nach. Wenn man anfängt zu sprechen wird man natürlich nicht perfekt sein.
@@tillmusshoff Aber er redet vor einem großem Publikum und behauptet, die Sprache sprechen zu können. Das beweist er zwar auch, dennoch ist das Level des Sprechens so schlecht, dass dies diese Lernmethode unattraktiv macht und daher beweist, dass man keine vernünftigen Lernerfolge erzielen kann.
My understanding is that as older children, we can make associations with words and memorize things better by reading the words. It’s faster to make a connection that pan is bread when you read it in association with your native language.. but then again it doesn’t work for everyone, and if you don’t use it you will lose it.
I like how in the ad they use a Spanish text about Mars colonisation efforts, while also highlighting difficulties Earth faces. Truly interesting topic for many :D It reminds me of something, though... Oh yes, the text used in school textbooks - same topic, same issue, even the same presentation. And how spaced repetition is different from what is taught at school? Quizzes? Aren't they like tests during class? Cheesus it's so funny how you go from: class learning is bad to: this app will practically use the same methods, but it's an app! :D The main difference is that you now do it out of your own volition, not because CI is inherently better method to learn - it isn't.
I'd like to address some of your points: - Same topics as in school books: you can generate text about whatever interests you, like I show in the video, or put any kind of blog are news article into a simplified and translated version. Quite the difference imo. - Quizzes: just a fun way to test your comprehension of the text and completely optional, I almost never answer them - Spaced Repetition: very different as the spaced repetition does not happen in isolation, but instead the words gets placed into new contexts, new stories automatically. You don't even know which words you are currently repeating. You just read the story or listen to it. - CI is not inherently better: it's a hypothesis, there is no proof for it. Which is the case for almost everything in linguistics though. The fact is that it worked for me and for others. If you don't like it, use a different method :) I do agree with you that it being out of my own volition is a big factor, however without CI I likely would have not continued learning the language, because I didn't enjoy the process.
@@tillmusshoff I was going to reply widely on the subject but I've dropped the idea. If this helps you - go ahead. Without you speaking any Spanish in this video I can't even tell if it works, or you think it works. And I'll leave it at that.
I learned English only to be able to study Korean because at the time, there was only English - Korean lessons online for self-taught😂

Excellent video, thx. I went to the website but could not access due to verify things, which I can't see learly. Pity.
Thank you! Can you tell me what happened?
Why is it impossible to try Lenguia for free ?

Lenguia really made me interested, but it’s expensive. 15 dollars has 5x it’s price when converted to my country’s money.
Great video, Gigachad

1:33 Äh, nein. I am a native English speaker and die grün Eule taught me some basic Deutsch. He is a good supplement but he isn’t good on his own.
I can agree with that even though I‘d say there are better supplements. Getting in some basics works though, that‘s true.

12:20 only problem here is that no german speaker would even want to learn Urdu.
When we understand the messages,,, got it
Then WHY does school learn us a language and not ACQUIRE the language??
My understanding is that as older children, we can make associations with words and memorize things better by reading the words. It’s faster to make a connection that pan is bread when you read it in association with your native language.. but then again it doesn’t work for everyone, and if you don’t use it you will lose it.
Because there's no way to standardize acquisition, which is necessary to give a class a grade.
