Sup party peeps, in this video I go over how to learn a language when you don't have much free time. Learning a new language fast doesn't mean 10 minutes a day. It means 30-60 mins a day for a much shorter overall duration.

YOU SHOULD DO A PODCAST OR SOMETHING!!! YOUR VOICE IS SOOOO SMOOTH.......
What if your language isn't on Pimsleur?
Dara A just out of interest which language do you mean?
Ikenna can you do a video on country and Nationality, or the difference between nationality and ethnicity?
I spend more time watching Ikenna than learning my languages 😂😭
I'm lucky I'm learning English actually😅
lol just study and u can have him in the background uk ikenna u distract me man i open youtube for grammer vids and end up here
Das bad bruhh change it
That’s my problem to.
I'm learning english, so i'm helped watching him, jjjkkk
you know there’s so many language learning people on youtube and you’re the only one the got me confident and motivated and excited to learn new languages
Have you heard of Laoshu50500? He’s my favorite
@@fatconnor7284 "TH-cam community amazed by black man's chinese tongue"
Same!
Ltrly when in learning a new language i come in his channel for comfort and motivation
the amount of time I use to learn how to learn a language is that much that I probably would be fluent in mandarin by now if I'd study instead.
and you with your content are not helping with changing this habit :D
Me too
I very often watch videos, but don't study
Hahaha yep. I probably spend double the amount of time learning how to learn than actually learning. Glad I'm not the only one 😭
I'm learning english, so i watch this videos that how learning a language, in this meantime i'm learning the language
Have you ever thought about learning Korean?? Korean alphabet is the easiest one to learn in Asian language~
I've been teaching myself Korean for a few months now, it's a fun language, go for it! :)
@@adngbsn i already speak korean i started learning in 2013 ^-^
@@cindylopes7046 ohhh sorry I misread your comment lol, if you taught yourself do you have any tips or good resources you used?
@@adngbsn no problem :) honestly music and korean dramas helped me alot, Doing at least 1 or 2 hours of grammar everyday helps alot too ^^
@@adngbsn with resources, i mean, i taught myself for the most part with the kdramas and all but my best friend since i was 7 is korean so going to his house since then helped alot but only in 2013 i started rly learning, so i had someone to talk and correct me, that helped alot but i know not everyone has a korean friend so internet is rly the place that definitely will help alot, everyone has different ways to learn as for me i learn like the babies, with that i mean when i want to learn a language i spend hours and hours just listening without understanding, listening and watching music and programs with that language to see if i can get the context, for example a sad song will have for the most times a sad beat, a cooking show will talk about food, and with that i can pick a little bit and start learning.
I love your channel; not only because you inspire me to keep learning new languages, but I love your personality and your sense of humour! :)))
I know a lot of people that say that are very busy,and spend 2hours daily on social media😂😂😂 if you really want to learn something,you will find time
Nice Runescape soundtrack in the background, loving it
My childhood
Also the hisoka theme
4:10 I ALMOST CHOKED ON MY BURGER!! 😂😂😂 IKENNA!! Hahaha
Its hard to learn a language for me because when i wanna learn it i have noone to talk to who also speaks it fluently to help me with it and have conversations and with my context and everything so i wish i knew more people in a wider broad of languages or had the money to study languages abroad
Input is more important than speaking. It’s more productive for your language learning to just sit in your room and watching tv shows than actually going to that country and speaking occasionally
i'm gonna buy ur book! ive been spending loads of money on books, resources etc on learning japanese for 7+ years and still can't speak a lick. i know alot but can't hold a convo! And let me tell u ive put in alot of work and dedication. but discipline is what i'm lacking. i even have japanese students that i teach every week and still no progress. i need to learn japanese by the end of this year for my career. I want to do music in japan one day after a career here in usa. i randomly found your channel and i gotta say ur the real fucking deal. so passionate and thats exactly what ive been searching for. so im subbing and sharing this video with my students as well. thank u! also ur cute af lol
Learn the basics, download Anki, and immerse.
Worked with Matt vs Japan, and his friend Ethan, Khatzumoto, and people in a Discord I’m in.
Cette vidéo m'aide beaucoup, j'essaie d'apprendre le français en 30 minutes par jour. Nous vous aimons Ikenna! J'ai adoré le Stromae en arrière plan aussi!
Flawless, congrats. Except that you're supposed to leave a space before a "?" and a "!" but this is a really minor mistake.
Bien joué !
lefacteurchance Merci
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻
Je n’ai même pas vu le Stromae! J’adore Stromae! 😂
Je n’ comprend pas!! Je parle un peu. Est-ce que vous vousdrias manger demain soir?
Just bought the book and cant wait to start reading it. I am trying to learn Serbian and my only issue I guess according to my serbian friend is I struggle saying the "hard" versions of letters I speak too soft.
I m learning korean and its just a secon day and i m alredy know the alfabet AND how to read korean syllables so i m so happy i know that i can start to learn words and go by some more grammar i alredy fully know 2 languges | i'm 14 btw | love your videos❤
me too I'm 14 and i speak 3 languages... currently studying german which will be my 4th one
It's been a year,you're 15 now how's your korean?
@@dererlkonig7428 I can understand the needed grammar for simple sentences. As well I have small vocab. Had to put a stop to it for couple of months. But I'm geting back to it. I can writte simple sentences with a vocab i alredy know. 😄
Yeah! I just purchased your e-book. I'll read it tomorrow and get back on track with my language learning. Thank you for being an inspiration.
i've watch you since the first video you made and your channel inspired me learning new languages and i learned french , and im advance now....................
thank you very much ikenna
Thank you so much for this video it was well needed!!
I like the way ur really realistic about learning and helping to find time to study.... And the Stromae instrumental...Loved it
😜😊
Loving the vids bro. Hisoka theme and RS music hahaha. Keep it up
I bought your book last week and read it in one night. I took the advise and bought into pimsler. That was the best decision so far. I learning hungarian and almost quit a couple of times due to frustration. Every couple of weeks I switch back to learning spanish just because it's easier to learn then attack my target language again. Pimsler opened my understanding even after 1 year learning.
your vids help me so much Ikenna
Please do a video on how to improve pronunciation/accent!
I love your videos. I've been learning Turkish for a few months now, and as a native English speaker it has proven to be more difficult than I thought. Every time I feel myself burning out a take a moment to relax and watch some of your videos, where you re-motivate me and I remember that it is possible. Teşekkür ederim!
Nice to hear! :)
I just had an ad from Ikenna on Ikenna's video. What a madlad
The texting people you like thing omfg, that was me the other week asking my crush to hangout, I sent the message after two days or debating then threw my phone and dashed out of the room.
Sidenote, I can't get enough of your videos. You're so fun to watch and I just love your content!! Thank you for what you do :)
Hey man i just wanna say that you inspired me to learn alot more languages right now im learning 3 langues well technicly 2. But they are English and Russian and the third one is my home one Bulgarian. You inspired me to learn French and i rly wanna say Thanks!
I love the instrumental Stromae in the background!
I am living in Croatia for a short-term and plan to return for a longer stint this coming summer. A great source I have found is the Croaticum program through a university in Zagreb. A1 and A2 Croatian classes online are free. I believe there are 80 units in all that they say are approximately 45 minutes each. I have found that each unit can be much longer because the quizes that they give must be complete at 100% before you can move on to the next session. Although it was very aggravating at first bc it was taking so much time, but it has made me repeat information and actually learn it.
I’m just learning Chinese in my school rn so time is no problem, but there are some distractions cause my friends have no interest in 中文 but I do learn. But I don’t usually have energy by that class. Keep up the good work with your videos
You are amazing, Dominican republic in tha house!!
You are amazing
Founding your channel helped me begin learning Japanese. Im about 3 weeks in with Genki 1 and having a blast. Consistency definitely is key and I try and do 30min to an hour around 'brunch' time and an hour before bed. Thanks!
Immerse
@@Acro_LangLearn そうだね。今は2年以上MIAって勉強方法を使ってるんだ。Genkiで学び続けたら多分もう日本語の勉強を諦めた

wow, another video when i need one! haha
I love your videos, i'm 15 and i'm learning Italian. Your videos inspired me so much, thanks you 💕:(
I’m 14 and learning Italian
I'm in my 3. Language, I'm german/Dutch

And English ( I think alot, and most of the time it's in English.... Idk y but I love it)
I'm learning swedish right now
And Spanish will be next, or I switch the language every month... I'm not sure
3.37 yaayy!! i hear my fav song
got an ad from Ikenna on an Ikenna video lmao
I'm 15 years old German student, studying englisch and french in school. You gave me the motivation to teach myself a language I really wanted to speak (for me it was Korean). It was the best thing I've ever done, actually I'm going to Korea in autumn (sooooo exiting). Thank you so much! I guess without your videos I wouldn't have started.
Working on Chinese right now! (You can tell I'm into asian language and culture)
learning how to learn 🙌🏼
That Stromae drop in the background.
let's get itt
This exactly what I was thinking today. I’m learning Portuguese 3 weeks in and I barely have time to be consistent!
May you make a video with a rotational plan for those of us who are juggling multiple languages after successfully learning others and trying to maintain them alll?
Lol I love the runescape in the background
Clicked for 3 reasons
1. Videos are informative and motivating
2. Theyre funny and honest
3. Youre gorgeous with a nice voice
i go on duolingo during study hall and i do more structured learning on weekends and sometimes before school or before bed
❤️❤️❤️
Hi there! I recently purchased your ebook. I really love the French language. I was wondering if you think translators are helpful? Is so, which ones? For example, apps, or actual translator devices.
The runescape music in the background....hitting my nostalgia feelsman
i like how u always use hxh background music its awesome
Great video!Aprenda português!!!👏👍😁🇧🇷
Pimsleur is on the Hoopla app and all you need is your public library card and pin if your library participates. I’m using it for Mandarin. Free.
Thank you for inspiration. But it's so cool, when you speak English and u don't need to learn this. But a lot of people have problems with learning because the first you must know English and only after you can learn something else. Ahh, it's sad. But you inspire me to learn English better. But my dream to know a lot of languages
What if i have learnt (more or less) most of the needed grammar and the skeleton if the lannguage,is it ok to just put most of my effort on reading/viewing?
Здравствуйте, я изучаю русский уже девять месяцев и считаю, что у меня все хорошо. Я знаю, что мне нужно поработать над этим еще немного, особенно грамматика. You have definitely inspired me to become a polyglot, once I'm satisfied with my Russian then I'm working on Spanish again but I am unsure if I should go to German after Spanish or attempt Japanese after.
I'm learning Russian too! Yours is much better than mine. What tips do you have?
@@PostpartumDoulaJerushah I play my xbox in Russian lol, do you have any way for us to talk and maybe practice together? Я нужно русский другие 😂
на(д) грамматике*
and you can't say Я нужно because it lireally means ''I am needed'' (actually Я нужен). It's Мне нужно (I need) + u probably meant друзья -> (declinated) Мне нужны друзья. Duh this took fucking long to write xD
You should react to finnish rap/hiphop
I tapped on this video and what ad pops up first?
Ikenna’s ad.
What a coincidence.
When I started my first year of French on Duolingo, I think I was devoting between thirty minutes to half an hour a day. My job got a lot busier after that and I couldn't keep up that pace, so I went down to ten minutes a day on average, sometimes a half hour if I could swing it.
Probably not enough to learn French. At least learn a minimum of 30 minutes.
I work at night. ㅠㅠ
I have to figure out a good schedule for myself.
Aye, tous les memes. Good video!
How do you work on listening skills? I have been studying Spanish on and off for 3 years and I still don't understand 100% of what people are saying. I get about 30-70% of what is being said. And I never understand music without looking at the lyrics. It's a shame. I would like to study other languages, but I haven't reached a satisfactory level in Spanish listening.
probably because there are so many different spoken dialects and slang that may vary depending on the region, you are probably studying Spanish from Spain and listening to Puerto Rican music, so u got to identify the type of Spanish that you want to learn, and if you already know it then its just a matter of time and practice
@@valeriavelz nope! The Spanish from Spain is my least favorite. I listen to mostly Caribbean Spanish---Cuban, Puerto Rican, and Dominican. My favorite Andean accents are from Venezuela and Colombia (and yes, I know that each country, especially Colombia, has different accents within its borders). But for example, when it comes to music no entiendo casi nada de esta mierda de Bad Bunny (it's the same waywith Angel Caneles, Joe Arroyo and La Buena Vista Social Club); however, I find Selena's Spanish to be very understandable. It's all hit or miss for me, and most times I'm missing. I don't know what it's going to take.
Also, I went to Puerto Rico last month and I didn't understand the natives when they spoke to each other most of the time. It was just way too fast and convoluted for me.
@@blackheartcardigan Puerto Ricans speak hella fast sometimes even natives struggle to understand, Carribean people, tend to not pronounce some letters and use a lot of figurative languages that may not make much sense to non-native Spanish speakers
I used to be the same way! Even after studying in the south of Spain for 3 months, while I could speak fluently listening always gave me trouble. I was so bad that even now when I hear someone I'm amazed I can understand everything they're saying. First off, if you can just go somewhere for as long as you can and literally just not speak English the entire time, your listening will get significantly better immediately, just by matter of necessity. If you can go alone without other English speakers, even better. That's what kind of topped it off for me when I went to work in Barcelona for two months. Before that though, I just watched a bunch of Spanish movies and TV shows with subitltes in Spanish, which 100% is probably best way to improve your listening, even over having an actual conversation with someone.
Love the Runescape audio
The beard looks really good on you :)
Great video 🤗What if I want to learn through sleep? Does it work?
what would you recommend for me to practice more french in between Pimsleur lessons? i really want to be able to study more but i dont really know where to begin.
hey Ikenna, you mentioned Assimil and Pimsleur. I use Assimil for Chinese now, is Pimsleur also good for Chinese? Assimil is very good but not for all languages the same..
What is your take on languagepod101 as a structured language learning resource
2:32 i realized he started playing old school Runescape music in the background.. insta sub
Which of the languages you speak fluently, are you best and worst at? And the more languages you learn does that affect the other languages you already know (good or bad)?
Is Babel good? Because they have some nice offers for Spanish (and I want to learn Spanish )
Ooh Stromae in the bgm 😊
Hi, I’m trying to learn Brazilian Portuguese and I purchased the Living Language Complete Edition for Brazilian Portuguese. Is this a good resource for learning Portuguese? If not, what should I look into? Thank you for any help whatsoever!
Daaang, what music is playing in the background at around the 4:10 mark??
I like the Runescape background music.
Tips on French Accent? I’ve been trying but it doesn’t sound good 🤦🏾♀️
Steph .H you mean to sound french? I’m french I can help?
If you want a good Spanish artist I really like juhn I’m learning Spanish and really like his songs
3:30. Is that the music to "Tous Les Mêmes" by Stromae I hear?
Aye I see you my RuneScape Brethren!
Question for people who learned Latin or people who learned some Slavic language while not being native speaker of any Slavic language, how did you learn grammatical cases, not how to write them, but when you speak, how did you learn to use correct forms of nouns while you are speaking ?
When you watch ikenna's ad in an ikenna video 😂
Ikenna, do you find French or Russian more interesting? Which is more useful or practical?
Exotic Pet Rock it depends were you live if you live in Canada or Western Europe French is more useful but if you live in Eastern Europe or around Russia Russian is more useful
i use shit time to do vocabulary flashcards to free up more time.for my set aside study sessions
how long did it take you to do French Assimil or how long is it supposed to take
so my native language is spanish and I speak english as well and many of the other languages go from english to the language you want to learn so, should I try to learn this new language from my native language or from english
Is that Stromae in the background? Nice
That Runescape soundtrack threw be into a bout of nostalgia *cry emoji*
You ever send a risky text and and soon as they hit you back be scared to open the text
Xing lee ... Mental energy
I felt that 😂😂
0:19 "some what productive things"... Hmm sure.
Hello there, I’m trying to learn Swahili and I listen to vocabulary on my hour drive to work. Do you think that is a good way to learn if I don’t have “enough time”? (My native language is English if that matters lol)
4:09 🤣🤣🤣🤣
is this runescape music in the background LOL
I love all your hunter x hunter sound tracks behind your videos
I'm currently learning Japanese, but I don't have time at all. I have to watch anime with sub, listen to japanese music, I have to watch Japanese TV shows.... wait sorry let me rephrase this. I have a whole 10 to 16 hours of free time and I spend it doing what I love to do everyday which is watching anime (with sub), listen to Japanese music, and watch Japanese TV shows (is still kinda anime related, is Takagi-san voice actress and Niskata voice actor on TV doing teasing and other stuff). I also spend about 1 hour on Pimsleur a day (which is equivalent to two lesson a day). I also spend a lot of time on Anki (btw Anki is awesome just like Ikenna keeps saying, you have to check it out at least once if you're learning languages).
you're so mean to Duolingo lol but I find it very useful on its own. It teaches you like a child learns a language and if you stick to it and repeat, you will get useful phrases you can mix and match and you will definitely pick the vocabulary up listening to podcasts and watching TV as well. listening is definitely key and i like how you explained input/output. i haven't seen you mention an app called Lingodeer which is where i'm learning Japanese and Chinese (as of now, it also has Spanish and German). i started my language learning journey with Spanish and it took me FOREVER to learn because i wasn't learning outside of the classroom. but i find everything you say to be very correct. i also find reading useful. especially out loud. reading comprehension is a key way to know you are learning (romantic) languages. do you plan to take the japanese or chinese langauge tests?
Would you say that Busuu is a good main program to learn a language, obviously not just ten minutes a day or should it be used as a supplement? I'm asking this because Idk if I should keep using Busuu as a main or switch to Pimsluer?
You're handsome 😍

Dommage que y a pas de sous-titres français :(

I have so much time I can’t wait for my next Pimsleur Japanese lesson.
Pimsleur? More like Midsleur
