I learn whole sentences saying them aloud. 5 days - 300 repetitions per day at least. Later I don't need to translate. I know the meaning of words straight away like in my native language. And also I remember the meaning longer than by learning separate words. This method is called: chunking. It was a real game changer in my learning process and communication skills in English and other languages.😊😊
Hello BeyondGrassCutter, do you repeat a sentence until you can say it with at a good speed or do you have set rep amount? (like 50 reps per sentence or something) Also, do you revisit sentences on different days?
@@moseskudia3835Hello Moses, I try to repeat a sentence until I can say it without hesitation or mistakes. During practice I say it realy slow at the beginning. Later alternating speed either extremely fast or slow. I don't have any set amount of reps. Just drilling until being confident. Sometimes if I have difficulties I repeat something continuously for example for 30 minutes streight. Recently I stopped counting. Just measuring time. Let's say 5 minutes gives you 100 reps. So repeat something 10-15 minutes. I try to choose short sentences 4-5 words. Or just practicing separate single words, pairs of words, 3 words together. Long sentences are very time consuming and difficult to repeat. From experience I noticed that it usually takes 5 days or more to remember something. Recently I stopped making notes just to focus on practicing. I don't use any SRS system like Anki. Only using online pons de dictionary (as I currently learn German) and bookmark some words. It is chaotic learning at the moment. I don't have any plan. Just watching videos repeatedly, reading comments and choosing some sentences, words. So videos show me what I should revise and what I don't remember. I mix practicing very old sentences and completely new ones. No particular strict rule. You can also repeat in your mind. Doesn't have to be aloud if you cannot. Please check similair method: sentence mining. th-cam.com/video/ktkHjL_PMc4/w-d-xo.html
I don't know what I'm doing right, but when I try to speak to myself in dutch, I don't really need to translate either, but I still need some time to build a sentence... I am a German native and grew up with English media, I often speak and think in English naturally, as well as in German. It's like both languages are active the same amount of time in my brain and I can switch between them based on what I want to say or how I need to communicate. Thank you for this video!
I am pretty good honestly in English , and sometimes i even forget i am thinking in english and then i realise oh shi# i was thinking english and to those curious people out there i just want to clarify that i am infact thinking in English as i write . So trick - is to expose your self with english content as much as possible with subtitles and learn new words by seeing in which situation that word was used and you can search it on google but most of the time you'll just know what that new word means by just seeing the scene or in context that the word was used in Inner me - ok dude stopppp!! I ain't reading all that.
Thanks for sharing your experience! 🤗I agree with you! Exposing yourself to a lot of content in the language you would like to learn is one of the best ways to develop your language skills.
Great advice and support we all need. I’m learning Italian. It’s challenging but just have to remember that it’s all about the journey of the learning. Thanks for putting this out there. 👍🏻
This is great!! I was looking for something helpful and reassuring for my fearful low beginner Spanish-speaking teen students. This is perfect- I just need the Spanish language version. 😉 Keep up the good work!
in brief: The video " focuses on the challenges and strategies of learning a new language, particularly the issue of translating thoughts from one's native language to the target language. 1. **Challenges in Language Learning**: The video begins by addressing the common frustration of constantly translating thoughts, which makes speaking a new language discouraging and tiring. 2. **Building Confidence**: The first step to overcoming this challenge is to build confidence in speaking another language. The speaker shares a personal example of learning Spanish and emphasizes the importance of not being afraid to make mistakes. 3. **Learning with Chunks**: The concept of 'chunks' is introduced. Chunks are fixed expressions or phrases learned as a whole, which helps the brain work less on grammar and translation, leading to more fluent and natural speech. 4. **Practical Application**: The video suggests practical ways to incorporate chunks into learning, such as not fixating on grammar rules excessively and learning how native speakers combine words in everyday conversation. 5. **Thinking in the Target Language**: The speaker advises training the brain to think in small thoughts in the target language, like "I need to buy more sugar," and doing it naturally without forcing. 6. **Language Immersion**: Immersing oneself in the target language is crucial. The speaker shares personal experiences of learning English through TH-cam videos, vlogs, and other media, which helped in thinking directly in English. 7. **Constant Practice and Exposure**: The video emphasizes the importance of constant exposure to the target language through various means like reading, watching movies, listening to podcasts, and engaging in conversations. 8. **Overcoming the Fear of Mistakes**: It's important to let go of the fear of making mistakes. The video encourages embracing errors as a natural part of the learning process. 9. **Focus on Real-life Expressions**: Instead of solely focusing on grammar and vocabulary, learners should focus on expressions used by native speakers in their daily lives. 10. **Conclusion**: The video concludes with encouragement to practice regularly, engage in conversations, and immerse oneself in the target language for effective learning. The video aims to inspire and provide practical tips for those struggling with the translation barrier in language learning, advocating for a more natural and immersive approach.gpt4
I've said my theory everywhere but do you think that when you learn a 3rd or 4th language from scratch, your other languages improve? Like your speaking skills improve in the existing languages. Is that a thing?
I believe so! 🤗 I think that with more languages, we are able to create more associations between words and expressions. For example, when I was studying a little bit of Korean, the materials I used were in English; therefore, the associations I made were in English and not in Portuguese, and that was helping me with my English as well. And as I am learning Spanish too, there are some pronunciations I'm learning that help me pronounce some Korean words!
I’m new here and I just subscribe to your channel. Your tips will help me a lot! I kinda try to learn english in this year at all, my goal for this year is learn english I hope your channel can be very helpful for me. Cheers from brazil❤
5:07 AAAAHAHAHA I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DID THAATTY, i used to pretend i was making youtube videos when i was learning english and using english in my head
Coincidentally, I was planning on getting back to learning Spanish too lol, especially since my A levels are coming to an end, meaning I'll have lots of free time woohoo! Great advice you have here, and I think I'll definitely try the "Having convos with yourself in the target language". Never attempted that before, but it sounds fun. Keep up the good work!
Ah thank you so much!🥰 Since I didn’t have anyone who spoke English to talk to, having conversations with myself helped me stay in touch with it🤭 I wish you success with your Spanish!
Thank you so much for this important thing, and your pronunciation is so simple for understanding because you speak lower so that helps beginners and intermediate levels in comprehension 👍👌
@@lagrivv Oh Syria! That's amazing! My Levant guess was right 😂 Syrian accent/dialect is unique and wonderful to listen to. It's a bit hard for me to understand tho 😭
I beg to differ, my friend. Her message is clear, and that's what matters most. Language diversity is something to be celebrated, and accents are a part of that richness.
As an Spanish native, don't worry about being perfect. We don't care about it, as long as communication is possible everything else is irrelevant.
Thank you!😍 I appreciate that! 🌹
that's true spanish people are very kind i know how to speak slowlyyy if its needed (im french)
create a group please!!
