My Summary 1. Message: understand the sentence structure 2. Importance: enjoy the studying 3. Observation: pay attention to observe people are doing how they speak 4. Comprehension: action, using own existing words
“Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.” - Flora Lewis As a Spanish teacher with German and English proficiency, I totally agree with this.
You are absolutely right . And it even happemd with me when i was preparing for my ielts exam i started to translate my owne word into other language and a miracle was happening 😂😂
The key principles: 1. Message: Try to understand the information by the context, you learn for real when you build the meaning of the words. That's exactly what we do when we are learning our mother tongue. 2. Importance: Make the target language important. The best way to do that is choosing the target language to do some important daily activities inspite of using your native language. 3. Observation: Listen more and more and more, as much as you can in order to perceive the vocabulary and the way the natives speak the language. 4. Comprehension: The more you comprehend, the more you learn. Don't worry about acumulating words, but comprehending them.
To my knowledge listening as an input is the most significant item while learning how to use the language as a means of communication in real life situations
I am a native English speaker, and I am trying to learn German. It has been tough and the grammar, word genders, and pronunciation sometimes make me want to give up but these Inspirational TedTalks always inspire me to keep trying. Maybe one day I will be able to speak German.
Never don't afraid mistakes Speak courageously Now I am learning English.And I am interested Germany and France.I am from Turkey.I believe I will do what I want.❤️💓
Hyy kajalpreet do u wanna practice with me i am learning english language too and i want a girl partner with whom i can practice speaking english language
1. Message : understand the message, you unconsciously acquire the language 2. Importance : feel enjoyment (to progress, talk to family/friends, work, travelling) 3. Observation : immerse yourself in the language + find parent speaker(pay attention how native speaker saying words) 4. Comprehension : action important than words, using existing language note : anyone can learn language (not just bec the talent are gifted), it will push you and differentiate you from the other, so don’t be scared to be push
I don't know why people adore destructive criticisms!! He did a good job . As a polyglot, I admire your courage and your ability to explain these aspects of learning languages
He explained some aspects of learning tongues yet the message was more like anyone can make a show if you dare, one should dare, push and dare. It is a great and valuable message. Not for linguists though...
He stole his entire presentation, every single slide from Chris Lonsdale TedTalk presentation back in 2013. Literally 95% of his presentation is from Chris. Go look for yourself. This dudes a fraud.
You nailed it. So far, some people just forget this : everything in the universe is relative, we move we live in an ocean of motion, better abstain from any fixed categorical vision, it leads nowhere
I've been learning english since I was a kid. Playing videogames, listen to music, etc... I consider that my learning process has been slow, but I'm still learning and that's important. My dream is to travel, and be able to speak with native speakers some day. Thanks for all this motivation!
Language learning is easy if you're dedicated. I learned Arabic just by listening to it every day for 4 years straight. I'm now fluent in it and English is my first language. Anything is possible.
ikr but there are so many words. I kinda remember the words right after google it but a few days then I will completely forget, I know the only method is practicing everyday but how do I remember words better?
I’m actually learning English. I love the way that he talks. I have understood everything and I am so proud of this. His presentation is very good and clear. I did progress since I really want to improve my English skills. I know that I need to improve a lot yet, but thanks to his speech I swear that I will do everything for that. Thanks you bro
I have never heard from any native yet that nice sentence”there are thousands they can speak better than me” you are very young but you have wide thoughts and really nice personality . I wish you a very bright future
This video is wonderful , “actions are more important than words””push your limits and don’t afraid”make the mistakes” these messages are so impressive for me
That's the comment I've been looking for. Also friendliness and openness are very helpful, but most people who want to learn languages already have it.
@@gabrieltomas9914 *"Humility" is teachable, willing to acknowledge one's own mistakes & be readjusted by others, recognizing growth comes with discomfort & learning from the discomfort calmly.*
Your speech was so impressive. I got a lot of motivation to follow my dream to understand oneday a native speakers. I'm a person who tried to learn english at home without tutor. I just don't have a chance to do it. But your speech give me a hope. Probably I'll able to fulfil a dream. I'm grateful to you.
As he said at the beginning. This way works for him and probably for him only... And by the way... Passion and the desire to learn something is key. He discovered warm water... Wow...
Matyáš thank you for sharing your brilliant approach to hearing, speaking, comprehending a foreign language! I have a bachelors in Spanish which isn’t saying much considering it took me three years to master phonetics, dialects, sentence structure, verb conjugation, along with the potential 13 different ways you can conjugate a specific verb. I think it is the simplest language for me to learn because it possesses what I call pure vowels. I am a classically trained vocalist and yet I was trained primarily in my native tongue, English. Whatever choir I was in we always had a 3 to 5 minute vocal warm-up. We would sing five specific vowel sounds at a specific pitch. Naturally these vowel sounds are the American phonetic spellings: eh, ee, ah, oh, oo. Those are the same vowel Sounds that are found in Spanish and Latin. As time went on I became very attracted to singing popular radio songs in Spanish and Latin. But I never mastered speaking and responding quickly until I was placed in a foreign country; Costa Rica. And at the end of my bachelors I lived and studied Costa Rica for 11 straight weeks, four hours a day. The professor told us she would send us home if she caught us speaking in English after a third warning. My Costa Rican host family, thank God, spoke no English whatsoever. So nearly 6 hours to 8 hours a day I was never around anyone to speak English to. Had I not done this Full immersion, my bachelor degree in Spanish would’ve been worthless.
One day, I'll go to the stage of Tedxtalk and give speech that "how I learnt English from here" by watching videos alongwith taking much knowledge about what I wanted to. Thank you ☺️☮️
I speak Arabic, English and French fluently. I know how to read and write in Spanish and Italian. I understand Turkish, Russian and Greek. Now I am willing to learn Swedich, German and Chinese. I was born in Tunisia and I can tell that what helped me learn these languages at only 23, is the fact that I live with languages and do like if they were my native ones. So I never mind watching a film in Turkish, seeing a cooking show in Italian, listening to Russian songs, reading articles for my researches in Spanich, asking for a greek sandwich in Greek and helping my French friends learn Arabic, my actual native language, so that they do the same.
From the very first sentence I knew you're from Tunisia haha, cause yeah ich bin auch , Tunisian people are used to live with these 3 languages in their daily lives , but Spanish, Italian, Turkish , Russian , Greek , that's amazing . For example: You know Vraiment yaatik essaha je savais pas elli fama chkoun men Tunis w y'jangel" belloughat hethi lkol haha nice . anyways lol salutations from yo'homie TN
I'm learning english actually by watching videos and his speech is very good. I love it! I am not good at speaking and listening, so as he said I won't afraid to make mistakes. It is very important. Also I think that it will help me to learn other languages effectively in the future
Summary: -Last summer, the speaker faced a challenge while alone in Tallin, Estonia when they were confronted with the phrase "Tere tulemast" and other Estonian phrases. -The speaker had no previous experience with the Estonian language and had to learn quickly in order to communicate with locals. -The speaker attended a talk by a polyglot about how to learn a language quickly and effectively. -The polyglot emphasized that there is no one "super method" for learning a language and that it is important to find a personal approach that works for the individual learner. -The speaker will be presenting four key points that are essential to the learning of any language. -These four points are motivation, dedication, immersion, and consistency. -Motivation is important because it drives the learner to continue pursuing their goal of learning the language. -Dedication means being committed to putting in the time and effort to learn the language. -Immersion involves surrounding oneself with the language as much as possible in order to fully immerse oneself in the learning process. -Consistency means making a regular effort to practice and learn the language on a consistent basis. -The speaker suggests finding a language exchange partner or joining a language learning community in order to practice speaking and listening skills. -Reading and listening to authentic materials, such as news articles or TV shows, can also help with learning a language. -The speaker recommends setting small goals and celebrating progress in order to stay motivated and dedicated to learning the language. -The speaker stresses the importance of making mistakes and embracing them as a natural part of the learning process. -Practicing with native speakers can be helpful in improving pronunciation and understanding the nuances of the language. -The speaker advises setting aside specific times for language learning in order to maintain consistency. -Using a variety of learning methods, such as textbooks, apps, and conversation practice, can also be helpful in the language learning process. -The speaker encourages learners to be patient and not to get discouraged, as learning a language takes time and practice. -The speaker concludes by reiterating the importance of finding a personal approach to language learning that works for the individual learner. -No matter the method, motivation, dedication, immersion, and consistency are key to successfully learning a language.
So true message. There’s no shortcut to it but if your love for a language big enough to get yourself feel like immersing with other language-related things, journey to fluency will be very soon to happen.
I'm 16 years old who knows 3 languages. 1. Bengali (Mother Tongue) 2. English 3. Hindi (Can understand it and can also speak but still stutter because of lack of conversation) 4. Korean (Trying to learn by myself) 🙂🙃😉
I'm also Indian ( native place Kerala) I'm interested talking to you in English !!! Are you interested? My name is roshith my what's number is 9747541891 please reply it's very helpful to me!!
That will depend on the listener really. As a native English speaker I found the speed he talked to be fine but as someone that lives in a non English speaking country I understand the issue perfectly and struggle to understand native speakers when they speak fast sometimes. Also he was probably both working to a time limit for the talk so trying to make sure he finished in time plus likely had some nerves that made him talk faster.
@@PAnon2024 Totally with your point, I wish I could find a friend to practice english, I am complety sure everything you want to be can be reached through practicing
You just made an amazing job👏 This message made my day and to tell you honestly I've been learning English and it was tough that I wanted to give up already but your words make me keep on moving I'm thankful that I've watched this video. Maybe I've been experiencing a lot of difficulties in learning English but I will not give up, I know someday this difficulty that I've been experiencing turns into a celebration 😇
I am currently learning english and i wish becoming a native speaker one day. And what he presented here has shown me the importance of learning a language that we are enjoying and being unafraid of making mistakes . Indeed we tend to neglect this aspect but it's very important to do something you like doing. An amazing speech. I am looking forward to watch another ted talks talking about the process of learning languages
I'm made a great progress of learning the English language. My motivation read about it programing language and then after 1 year. I'm not Fluent but I can read a lot and my understanding the English speakers was improved.
I think solutions for struggling learn the language are 1-be consistent,so you have to study every single day. 2-you don’t have to pressure yourself by studying grammar and exhaust your mind just take it easy buddy. 3-be aware of the pronunciation because it’s the key to improve your listening ability and your speaking as well.
Very good points esspecially the last one, in the beginning of language learning I wasted many hours cramming and studying vocabulary with no comprehension and meaning. It was a stressful and slow way to learn. On my third language now it's a lot smoother knowing how language works. Best way to learn is with lots of CONTEXT and OBSERVATION. Like babies 😇
Many people tell me that it's need to hear a video first in my mother tongue, and after in english with subtitles in my mother tongue en them so after to watch in english. But I have no pacience, I just watch in english. I don't understand a lot of words but I've do this for two months and now my unsderstanding is much better. I just need to improve my writing and my speaking too. My goal for this year is to be fluent!
What I do to practice English is watch videos that I am interested in. I try to learn something new beyond the English language. The more I learn the more interested I become in the language. It is not as easy as it sounds because we have many distractors and occupations, however, I still think a language is not all about phonetics and grammar but culture, friends, and fun. The World is too big to be static, let´s dream about getting to know the unknown.
I live in Finland, and I have Vietnamese girlfriend and I am moving to live and work in Vietnam in the future, this is a great motivator to learn. Travelling there few times, connecting and spending time with local people helps a lot also. I use duolingo for this. It is structured very well and makes learning easy. I tried all kind of internet sites first, but most of them are pretty bad and lacks good structure and progression. In Duolingo they have managed to make very good progressing system, which actually works and you don't lose motivation easily, and I have made massive improvements during the last year. I have about 2 years before I move there and I am confident I can speak pretty fluent Vietnamese at that time.
I am Vietnamese and I really admire you for your Vietnamese learning process. Vietnamese is one of the most difficult languages, so it is too complex to learn
I agree! A friend of mine went to Interrail and met a guy with whom she had no common language - she learnt his language in some months and moved to him and even studied at university there!
I have been seen mmm English videos and there the teacher told that one way to improve our English is watching TeDtalks and writing them, so I'm doing. I firmly agree with what you are exposing. Getting the message of what we're communicating is quite important for the development of our use of English. What, it is more another thing that I consider useful is that that actions are more important than words. I think that implique our body gestores on what we say makes our knowledge meaningful. Thanks for sharing 👏👏👏.
Although I am not a native English speaker, I l learned English, still having been keeping studying it, to be able to use English as a tool at last and get some progress by “PUSHING MYSELF”!!!!!!!
this video could be the most challenging video that I have used for shadowing. This gentle men speaks so rapidly and my tongue and lips were like they rejected my body and went out for a new life =)) but I've finally finished it..
Definitely makes sense. While speaking a foreign language, don't be afraid. Practice makes perfect. Just correctly you since I am assuming you are not a native language speaker.
This is his personal experience and that is good to know. He has key points but need to improve Präsentation skills. The aim is to make people believe in his key points and understand WHY it is so important to him.
Im trying learn english by TED TALK, the most thing hard is i cant remember new words and the meant of words, i hope makes some friends who ready help me being better learning☺☺☺
Many times I cant understand completely all conversations. But, I continúe with effort and sacrifice every day until that I can speak englis like a native speaker
Yes there is a "superway" to learn languages, TO BEGIN, learn the mechanics, and then learn how to give and ask about the identities of objects and people. Keep the communication short and sweet. While that will not give you command over the totality of the language, you WILL be speaking it.
I have been teaching languages for 11 years , i speak twelve languages fluently and confidently. I am from Rwanda and i've never been to any other countries . it takes a single month for my students to speak a certain language fluently . my system is the best in the world this sounds like i'm bragging but it is better than anything you have heard . i hope one day the world will know that
You can learn English with four steps 1. Six months to learn grammar 2. Six months to learn with phrases 3. Six months to learn phrase verbs 4. Six months to learn expression For me was the better way to learn on my own.
Thanks for your pices of advice . It was interesting and helpful. I'm watching your videos every day , because I want to learn english so much. And I really have success . Now I want to find a native speaker and to practice with him my english . Bye.
It's better when we learn something in enjoyable and recreational way especially languages. We learn depending on our aims " traveling, pleasure, and skills"speaking, writing ..." " 1-basics " common sentences about greetings, weather,... By listening and repeating" everything is available now not like in the past so get advantage of that" 2-alphabet and word's pronunciation 3-grammar and syntax The best way is "as he said" to find a good partner. Listening is also the most important skill to develop whatever our degree of comprehension and we have to speak as much as we can whatever the mistakes that we make since they are instructive. Read and watch things that you like in this language And Good Luck 🌹🌹 2-
comprehensive inputs. That is what you need to learn every language you want. Don't try something too hard for you in the beginning. Just focus on what you can understand first.
I'm trying to learn Spanish, and I always thought it would be quite convenient if I had someone to converse with, someone who already spoke the language.
What a simple and fantastic model presented by Matyáš Pilin! I couldn't agree more. It's interesting how the idea of finding the "parent speaker" as a source of meaningful input, provider of feedback and somebody allowing you to test your hypotheses about what might be correct (or not) is actually similar to the way children ACQUIRE (rather than LEARN) languages. I also believe that risk-taking while learning a new language is mostly productive (the accompanying anxiety is often of the facilitating type).
I am doing the same right now, i listen ted talks to improve my english and comprehension and so far i am getting better at it but i still struggle while trying to make sentences in english
I wanted to give up learning English, my goal is speak like a native, because my boyfriend speaks English so well and all their friends are international so I have to improve to keep a conversation with them. Thank you for this video, it’s really motivated me a lot to stay positive in my way learning💪🏼
I was looking for someone else spotting this... Step for step it's the same. I have literally just watched the other one. His delivery is far better too.
sometimes i feel like I'm not improving at all, even studying every day, I'm not able to expresse myself how I would like, It's so frustrated when you wanna say something but you don't know how
maybe it's because your learning methods ? maybe you are just ''receiving'' ! , you are not even trying to make sentences by your own , because learning languages it's not just about learning new words ! new sentences ! but its also bout how i can make sentences by myself ... all love hope u all the best in this beautiful journey
I think that is very difficult to leave the prejudices behind, because a lot of us are expected about things that people say, but I have faith and I know I can, and someday i will speak and write English very well. I’m from Argentina🙌🏽
I think it's terrible advice. I am a native Portuguese speaker, it's been 10 years that I am a teacher of English, I speak Spanish and French as well. I have never traveled so that's not necessary. I've never had a parent, mentor or whatever to learn any of the languages I know, so that's unnecessary too. You must like the language, get lots of content from it, books, TV shows, series, movies, study at least a little everyday.
Wwowowo Any Time I see this videos.. Thanks for sharing... I am trying to learn English, but I still don't speak this lenguage. I HOPE SOME DAY WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. This video have changed my life and the wey to undestand a new lenguage. Now I keep practicing English until will be able to understand native speakers.
My Summary
1. Message: understand the sentence structure
2. Importance: enjoy the studying
3. Observation: pay attention to observe people are doing how they speak
4. Comprehension: action, using own existing words

The powerful word which describes the best method of learning another language is: HABIT!

I am Indonesian, I always watch this video everyday to improve and to grow my English.
So true message. There’s no shortcut to it but if your love for a language big enough to get yourself feel like immersing with other language-related things, journey to fluency will be very soon to happen.
I'm 16 years old who knows 3 languages.
1. Bengali (Mother Tongue)
2. English
3. Hindi (Can understand it and can also speak but still stutter because of lack of conversation)
4. Korean (Trying to learn by myself)
🙂🙃😉
I'm also Indian ( native place Kerala) I'm interested talking to you in English !!! Are you interested? My name is roshith my what's number is 9747541891 please reply it's very helpful to me!!
I challenge myself to study Korean., and I hope this language journey can help me inspire my students in the future in learning a new language.
How’s it going?
How did it go?
How can
I just came here to learn English and discover the minds of the people who are taking. ❤️🇮🇶
He speaks too fast but that was an amazing message, you have to push yourself if you want to learn
suer
@Burhan Diner what's your native language?
There r subtitles u can see them..
That will depend on the listener really. As a native English speaker I found the speed he talked to be fine but as someone that lives in a non English speaking country I understand the issue perfectly and struggle to understand native speakers when they speak fast sometimes. Also he was probably both working to a time limit for the talk so trying to make sure he finished in time plus likely had some nerves that made him talk faster.
@@PAnon2024 Totally with your point, I wish I could find a friend to practice english, I am complety sure everything you want to be can be reached through practicing
You just made an amazing job👏 This message made my day and to tell you honestly I've been learning English and it was tough that I wanted to give up already but your words make me keep on moving I'm thankful that I've watched this video. Maybe I've been experiencing a lot of difficulties in learning English but I will not give up, I know someday this difficulty that I've been experiencing turns into a celebration 😇
Yes why no
I am currently learning english and i wish becoming a native speaker one day. And what he presented here has shown me the importance of learning a language that we are enjoying and being unafraid of making mistakes . Indeed we tend to neglect this aspect but it's very important to do something you like doing. An amazing speech. I am looking forward to watch another ted talks talking about the process of learning languages
I think you misunderstood the meaning of native
Suddenly I'm listening the video and reading the comments in English at same time... it's a good listening exercise, trust me!
Awesome
It’s so difficult for me to do it simultaneous , but if trust you, I will just try to do it 😂
I'm made a great progress of learning the English language. My motivation read about it programing language and then after 1 year. I'm not Fluent but I can read a lot and my understanding the English speakers was improved.
This is very impressive, sure there are flaws but very cool you learned so much
Diego, me too.
Awesome
I think solutions for struggling learn the language are
1-be consistent,so you have to study every single day.
2-you don’t have to pressure yourself by studying grammar and exhaust your mind just take it easy buddy.
3-be aware of the pronunciation because it’s the key to improve your listening ability and your speaking as well.
💚🧬 I am on my fifth language, super excited. Joyous love to connect with other cultures. 🧬💚
Very good points esspecially the last one, in the beginning of language learning I wasted many hours cramming and studying vocabulary with no comprehension and meaning. It was a stressful and slow way to learn. On my third language now it's a lot smoother knowing how language works. Best way to learn is with lots of CONTEXT and OBSERVATION. Like babies 😇
👍
Worth it
I have been lerning english for the last 1 year. My family mamber are helping me for this effective language learn.😀😀
I can understand what he says completely!
@jhames So I'm getting good at listening, cause I could understand everything he said, even though he's speaking fastly...
He is not speaking fast
Me too...I understand everything what he says ...I can read in english....my problem Is speaking english
I understand approximately 70% of his speech,
I understood 100% of the things he said.
B-)
I like the way he speaks, very clear and fast. And i think he is very smart boy
Many people tell me that it's need to hear a video first in my mother tongue, and after in english with subtitles in my mother tongue en them so after to watch in english. But I have no pacience, I just watch in english. I don't understand a lot of words but I've do this for two months and now my unsderstanding is much better. I just need to improve my writing and my speaking too. My goal for this year is to be fluent!
Maybe my channel & podcast can help you too.
Nice presentation. Don't be scared to push. Thankful.
What I do to practice English is watch videos that I am interested in. I try to learn something new beyond the English language. The more I learn the more interested I become in the language. It is not as easy as it sounds because we have many distractors and occupations, however, I still think a language is not all about phonetics and grammar but culture, friends, and fun. The World is too big to be static, let´s dream about getting to know the unknown.
Absolutely love this reply. A language is just a gateway to a whole new way of communicating, of speaking with people
Hello Santiago I'm agree with u the thing I most enjoy is speak in that language I want to learn.
I live in Finland, and I have Vietnamese girlfriend and I am moving to live and work in Vietnam in the future, this is a great motivator to learn. Travelling there few times, connecting and spending time with local people helps a lot also. I use duolingo for this. It is structured very well and makes learning easy. I tried all kind of internet sites first, but most of them are pretty bad and lacks good structure and progression. In Duolingo they have managed to make very good progressing system, which actually works and you don't lose motivation easily, and I have made massive improvements during the last year. I have about 2 years before I move there and I am confident I can speak pretty fluent Vietnamese at that time.
I am Vietnamese and I really admire you for your Vietnamese learning process. Vietnamese is one of the most difficult languages, so it is too complex to learn
Nothing hard is possible 💪
I am going to tell you the fastest way to learn a language: fall in love with someone who speaks it.
hhhhhh you are absolutely right
😂😂🤣🤣 that's why I want to learn Japanese
Hahahaha 🙈😂 effort is real
I agree! A friend of mine went to Interrail and met a guy with whom she had no common language - she learnt his language in some months and moved to him and even studied at university there!
@@tainahollo8567 love can move mountains ❤️
I have been seen mmm English videos and there the teacher told that one way to improve our English is watching TeDtalks and writing them, so I'm doing. I firmly agree with what you are exposing. Getting the message of what we're communicating is quite important for the development of our use of English. What, it is more another thing that I consider useful is that that actions are more important than words. I think that implique our body gestores on what we say makes our knowledge meaningful. Thanks for sharing 👏👏👏.
Although I am not a native English speaker, I l learned English, still having been keeping studying it, to be able to use English as a tool at last and get some progress by “PUSHING MYSELF”!!!!!!!
Maybe my channel & podcast can help you too!
I'm student's English and learn this language, it had been a biggest challenge for me. This video inspirate me move on!!!
For me motivation is a key! Ever single day keep going!
Yes. Motivation is the most important.
this video could be the most challenging video that I have used for shadowing. This gentle men speaks so rapidly and my tongue and lips were like they rejected my body and went out for a new life =)) but I've finally finished it..
Definitely it makes sense.
Speaking forien language, don't be afraid about!
Mistake makes perfect!
Definitely makes sense.
While speaking a foreign language, don't be afraid.
Practice makes perfect.
Just correctly you since I am assuming you are not a native language speaker.
@@Nazinsky Thank you dude
I always get too scared to forget words or make a mistake :(( even tho I’ll learn from it
@@camtheunicorpse2217 you won't learn lf you dont make mistakes .....
Un known yeah I mostly speak with my friend because she doesn’t laugh at me and tries her best to understand and help me understand
Great advices, there are so many ways to learn a language. I think the most important step is to get started and continue to learn 5 minutes a day.
I learnt how to speak and understand hindi by myself when I was in class 2 only by watching cartoons like shinchan and Doraemon
This is his personal experience and that is good to know. He has key points but need to improve Präsentation skills. The aim is to make people believe in his key points and understand WHY it is so important to him.
I loved to wacthing ted talk. I hope can improve my english
Learning english language is intertaining , thank you for the wonderful talk
Im trying learn english by TED TALK, the most thing hard is i cant remember new words and the meant of words, i hope makes some friends who ready help me being better learning☺☺☺
This is a good advice for new people learning language. I think that a good way to progress in studying any language. I will remember to do that
Many times I cant understand completely all conversations. But, I continúe with effort and sacrifice every day until that I can speak englis like a native speaker
Keep going brother. Best luck. You'll definitely speak like native speakers one day.
Yes there is a "superway" to learn languages, TO BEGIN, learn the mechanics, and then learn how to give and ask about the identities of objects and people. Keep the communication short and sweet. While that will not give you command over the totality of the language, you WILL be speaking it.
I have been teaching languages for 11 years , i speak twelve languages fluently and confidently. I am from Rwanda and i've never been to any other countries . it takes a single month for my students to speak a certain language fluently . my system is the best in the world this sounds like i'm bragging but it is better than anything you have heard . i hope one day the world will know that

You can learn English with four steps
1. Six months to learn grammar
2. Six months to learn with phrases
3. Six months to learn phrase verbs
4. Six months to learn expression
For me was the better way to learn on my own.
There's no a magic way.
why do you think so
@@azizsherkhulov7286 Because he's not a magician and don't know my magical powers yet
Thank you for your video, it´s fantastic to learn anyone language!!!
Thanks for your pices of advice . It was interesting and helpful. I'm watching your videos every day , because I want to learn english so much. And I really have success . Now I want to find a native speaker and to practice with him my english . Bye.
Maybe my channel & podcast can help you too!?!
It's better when we learn something in enjoyable and recreational way especially languages.
We learn depending on our aims " traveling, pleasure, and skills"speaking, writing ..." "
1-basics " common sentences about greetings, weather,... By listening and repeating" everything is available now not like in the past so get advantage of that"
2-alphabet and word's pronunciation
3-grammar and syntax
The best way is "as he said" to find a good partner. Listening is also the most important skill to develop whatever our degree of comprehension and we have to speak as much as we can whatever the mistakes that we make since they are instructive.
Read and watch things that you like in this language
And Good Luck 🌹🌹
2-
comprehensive inputs. That is what you need to learn every language you want. Don't try something too hard for you in the beginning. Just focus on what you can understand first.
I'm trying to learn Spanish, and I always thought it would be quite convenient if I had someone to converse with, someone who already spoke the language.
Crptcsz Use iTalki
Me too 😊😊
What a simple and fantastic model presented by Matyáš Pilin! I couldn't agree more. It's interesting how the idea of finding the "parent speaker" as a source of meaningful input, provider of feedback and somebody allowing you to test your hypotheses about what might be correct (or not) is actually similar to the way children ACQUIRE (rather than LEARN) languages. I also believe that risk-taking while learning a new language is mostly productive (the accompanying anxiety is often of the facilitating type).
I am doing the same right now, i listen ted talks to improve my english and comprehension and so far i am getting better at it but i still struggle while trying to make sentences in english
this is the same problem for all of us 😉
I wanted to give up learning English, my goal is speak like a native, because my boyfriend speaks English so well and all their friends are international so I have to improve to keep a conversation with them. Thank you for this video, it’s really motivated me a lot to stay positive in my way learning💪🏼
Lol, almost directly quoting the Chris Lonsdale TED Talk...
Agree
For sure
I was looking for someone else spotting this... Step for step it's the same. I have literally just watched the other one. His delivery is far better too.
i just took notes on Chris's talk and watched this directly after, im like what the heck.. lol
He replaced the word 'relevance' with 'importance', however, showing some creativity of his own.
It''s really important to be calm when you're learning a language
sometimes i feel like I'm not improving at all, even studying every day, I'm not able to expresse myself how I would like, It's so frustrated when you wanna say something but you don't know how
I feel the same way
maybe it's because your learning methods ? maybe you are just ''receiving'' ! , you are not even trying to make sentences by your own , because learning languages it's not just about learning new words ! new sentences ! but its also bout how i can make sentences by myself ... all love hope u all the best in this beautiful journey
Thích những người bên đạo dậy đàn hay như vậy:)).
And I'm learning English through his channel😍,I found it useful, and my purpose to become a good at English... what do you think guys!:))))
I have a channel too😀
I think that is very difficult to leave the prejudices behind, because a lot of us are expected about things that people say, but I have faith and I know I can, and someday i will speak and write English very well. I’m from Argentina🙌🏽
I think it's terrible advice. I am a native Portuguese speaker, it's been 10 years that I am a teacher of English, I speak Spanish and French as well. I have never traveled so that's not necessary. I've never had a parent, mentor or whatever to learn any of the languages I know, so that's unnecessary too. You must like the language, get lots of content from it, books, TV shows, series, movies, study at least a little everyday.
your comment stopped me from watching this video😅
@@Samandar-gs2jv me too
Wwowowo Any Time I see this videos.. Thanks for sharing...
I am trying to learn English, but I still don't speak this lenguage. I HOPE SOME DAY WILL BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING. This video have changed my life and the wey to undestand a new lenguage.
Now I keep practicing English until will be able to understand native speakers.
Everyone has a different way to learn new language. Keep that way it will help you
Learning another language is very fascinating！ I can also learn about the countries where are spoken my learning lannguages.
Fantastic !
Good advice .
Your public speak skills are perfect .
keep on.
Thanks...
When you need to learn a language , you will...
You know the method it work well and suitable for your conditions..
