    Tip: Create a separate youtube account and only subscribe to channels in the language you want to learn, this helps so you don't have your content mixed up.

    To summarize the entire video!
    1. Choose your content
    2. Watch the video and rewatch it multiple times.
    1a: Put video in full screen, watch and rewatch - watch the entire video
    2b: Focusing on the English subtitles
    3c: Focusing on the Spanish subtitles
    4d: Watch it and write down, things you don’t know or expressions you would like to search up.
    5e: Watch the entire video to fully understand it.
    3. Save what you have learnt!

    I follow a very similar process as Luca but one very important step for me is to "sleep on it". After 2 - 3 days, I come back to that same video and re-watch without subtitles. My comprehension is even better than at the end of the first day and I find it rewarding and a great motivational tool.

      I found this works best after sensory visualization. Involving as many of the six senses (I include intuition) into the memorization until you "feel" the fact, you can´t progress more for now. Then sleep and comeback. Also, you´ll notice with applied neuroscience and practice of brain learning, the event will occur faster and faster. I´m at the point where now, when I dive into C2 material and it blows me away, I calm myself, blank my mind, apply a positive mood or emotion and go back and BAM! It happens. Took 3 years to reach this point.

  • @marloncastro2482
    @marloncastro2482 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    The summarize:
    1. Pick the content of your interest (you focus in the message more than the language itself, so you unconsciously learn the language TO UNDERSTAND THE MESSAGE)
    2. Watch the video first in the target language, then rewind it now focusing on your mother language.
    -Take your time to write down the vocabulary you find interesting.
    -Watch the video again once you gathered some word, phrases, etc.
    3. Make sure you save your notes into a logbook in order to review them later or consult a lesson in case your don't remember something.
    -It also reminds you of the amazing work you've made and keeps you motivated.

  • @Theyoutuberpolyglot
    @Theyoutuberpolyglot 5 ปีที่แล้ว +135

    This is an excellent way to learn foreign languages.
    My method is similar.
    I learn the structure of some sentences by heart, and then I try to formulate other sentences with the same structure.
    For example
    My sister lives in Spain with her daughter- I learnt this sentence by heart- Now, it's my turn to formulate another phrase based on the same structure.
    My brother lives in Germany with his dog.
    The sentence is the same, but I changed some words.
    Vocabulary is crucial. There are no shortcuts.
    You have to learn words by heart. Words in many sentences, not isolate words like in School.

    • @cerenademe9433
      @cerenademe9433 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That's what I've been doing - when I take notes, I make a note of phrases, rather than individual words (most of the time), then I do what you do and try to mix it up and see if it works. Another thing I do is mimic the person speaking - it helps me to get a grasp on the infection and cadence of the language, as well as give me an opportunity to practice pronunciation. :)

    • @Theyoutuberpolyglot
      @Theyoutuberpolyglot 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Cerenade Me I recommend Reverso to you. I like this tool because you can see one word in many sentences. You learn words by context,plus, you can compare your target language and your native language. Mimic is great to improve your spoken skills,but not you written skills.

    • @bijanf.6351
      @bijanf.6351 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You don't have to concentrate on sentences first, vocabulary is the most crucial and all the other stuff falls into place with practice once you have alot of words. Trying to learn grammar and make complicated sentences If your vocab is limited is more useless than useful.

    • @Theyoutuberpolyglot
      @Theyoutuberpolyglot 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Bijan F. It is not about grammar. It is about structures that I can use in my life. I learn them by heart ( a couple of mocking sentences). I have to be able to make up other sentences. It is about indirect grammar, not direct grammar. Intuitive grammar, not boring grammar like school. Translation helps a bit as well. Words without knowing how to use them is pointless. Learn words in sentences. Don’t treat the language as if the language were your native language.

      2-после португальского языка можешь очень быстро поговорить и на испанском, и на французском и на итальянском.

    My routine when I watch Netflix episodes to learn Italian:
    first: just Italian (see how much I can understand)
    second: Italian with subtitles, write important sentences down, translate them, create a little dialog
    third: watch in german (my native language)
    fourth: watch it in Italian
    this way I teach myself to understand the fast-speaking language, I learn new vocabulary and also sentence structure.
    It makes more fun watching a series you really like.

    I gave up on tracking my progress, saving vocabulary, etc. for one very simple reason: I've done that for years, but the fact is I've hardly ever gone back to look at the material again. So now, I learn what I learn, don't learn what I don't learn, grudgingly accept that I have little or no control over what gets deposited in my long-term memory anyway, and that's that. The idea of having notes you can go back to is still great, but to me it's 99% added stress, 1% perceived profit.

    • @marvelenia6702
      @marvelenia6702 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think that is very personal, it depends on how your brain works and how it adds content to your long term memory. I can relate to what you are saying totally. I need NEW content every time I learn because otherwise it gets boring very fast and I loose interest. That does not mean I know everything, but it does mean I need what I learnt in new context, like in new magazines. books or videos or so.

    This is almost wholly irrelevant to the video (which was extremely useful) but it warmed my heart so much to see you using examples in Hungarian.

She never taught me Hungarian (I’m the third child, she didn’t want to bother at that point) but I’ve visited the beautiful country numerous times and it holds a special place in my heart. Oh, and all the hours my Hungarian family would talk and I would sit there like a carrot, enjoying the food. I want to learn it at some point, but I’m currently working on French and learning how to learn languages. But I do want to learn the language of my roots. Très bien !

    The only step missing from Luca’s list is: repeat, repeat, repeat, trying to mimic the pronunciation in the video as closely as possible. And then try to memorize at least some of the conversation. Then have the conversation with yourself, on your own without the video playing.

    I have found that using tutorials are good for learning a language. In tutorials you are constantly hearing basic words (makeup tutorials-facial features)
    There are tutorials in most languages, and as long as you have a basic vocabulary, you will learn more by sheer repetition

Glad to see that many of the methods for learning languages that I picked up instinctively and through trial and error over the years are being used and advocated by some of my favourite internet language channels, of which Luca's channel is certainly one.

      Hi Luca. I was very excited about your video on "How to use TH-cam to learn..." . I'm used to watch youtube content to learn russian. I learn that I should take notes. But I expected that you taklk about the "Open transcript" button (In the 3 dots, near the Share/Save buttons ) ! It amazingly usefull : i can copy easily the words to get a translation. You can also come back to a specific sentence/word that you don't understand. It's not perfect but awesome to understand and learn both speaking and writting ! пока

    Usually learning a language by using youtube subtitles in targeted language has helped some but not everyone a better way to learn a language is by immersing yourself there in the country and try to speak to them, you don't need to write the words down just use a dynamic language immersion method but in experience kind of like Rosetta stone but "there."

    @piotrarturklos 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    This advice is suboptimal for busy people because one has to sit at the desk to use the methods.
    Tip 1: If you know the thory behind learning stuff, you don't have to log things in a logbook in order to see progress. You just know which activities result in progress and which don't.
    There's a great course called "Learning how to learn" on Coursera for that.
    Plus, to see progress you can also just test yourself in various ways. And that will be the actual progress, not just the amount of work you've put in.
    Tip 2: The content doesn't have to be short and doesn't have to be videos. Yes, these are optimal if you can sit at a desk. But you also can easily pull this off with podcasts, and then it opens up a lot of possibilities, because you can do it on a run, walk, commute, while cleaning the house etc. Just listen multiple times, first to get a general idea, second time open google translate on your phone and just translate some words that you don't know, and then the third time listen and just make sure that you understand everything, repeating the dictionary exercise if necessary. I'm writing from experience.

  • @ertk115

    I've begun to watch cartoons in spanish because it's both comprehensible, short, has subtitles in the target language and is frankly something that i'd rather watch. Watching videos specifically produced to try and help you learn the language, in my opinion, doesn't help much and is really boring. I started in august last year and 4 months in, I can confirm that it's a pretty good way of doing it. I can understand a lot more now and my grades have gone up significantly in school, but I still can't speak the language with confidence.

    Hi, Luca! I always get inspired by your videos! My question is:
    What do you think about these steps?
    1. Watch the video to get the whole picture
    2. translate the subtitles, write the new and interesting words down
    3. watch again (2-3 times) with more understanding because of translation before, pay attention to the new words
    4. watch without subtitles
    5. watch again, stop the video after each sentence, or a part of the sentence, and try to write down what you listen to
    6. retell the context of the video by using the new words
    on this way you train at the same time 4 competence of the language, reading, listening, writing (just helps to improve listening skills), speaking
    I would like to hear want do you think about it :)

      [ˌrɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən]

    Btw it was mentioned in the video that people weren't aware of the fact that they were being interviewed for a language learning channel. The reason I think it's not true is because Im a native Hungarian speaker, so I could hear that people spoke a little bit slower, they used an easier language, and they didn't really think about their answer. In most interviews people tend to think and then answer in a natural tone.
