The method 1. choose 1 Italian video and memorise the first 10 minutes (or any language you’re learning) 2. Once you memorise the video, use the same video in every exercise you do (shadowing,speaking, etc) 3. Master verb conjugation from the same video (have a word document written of the video you are memorising) 4. Start speaking to natives ( once you master the video content you have memorised and learnt what you’re talking about) The goal of this method: To become familiar with all the words from the video you are learning. His 4 steps to handle memorisation: 1. Shadow the first 30 second section 10 times (try to say it with the exact pronunciation and accent) The purpose of this to get familiar with the overall meaning of the section in both English and your chosen language 2. Repeat each line of the section for 1 minute each, after learning the lines go back to see if you remember the previous lines The purpose of this is by repeating each line makes the brain get familiar with what you’re saying and helps you memorise an entire line instead of individual words, this also helps with improving pronunciation and accent. 3. Start from the beginning of the section and recite as much as you can remember. If you don’t remember the next line, look at it and restart the section again (do this until you can recite the whole 30 second without stopping) 4. Recite the entire 30 second section 10 times from your memory and then move on the next section. Do this method until you have memorised the entire video you are Learning from

@@mcmerry2846 what method would you suggest for rapid learning instead? I'm trying to learn Japanese, and I'm curious how learning something with a different writing system compares to learning European languages when one already knows the same letters. Perhaps a combination of rote memorization for spoken grammar balanced with equivalent writing and vocabulary learning for veryday situations? Using videos with bilingual subtitles? The latter would be tricky, as there can be localizations instead of rough translation for most subtitled videos.
Great that you actually showed the details of how you study. A lot of these language learning videos just broadly go over the ideas to effectively learn but actually seeing the process is way more helpful and encouraging!

Everything from the aesthetics to what you say is soooo on point. You're a genius! Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm learning Italian as well. I'm probably between A2 and B1. I use HelloTalk to connect with Native speakers but end up spending so much time helping them with English. I'm looking for someone else that's learning who would be interested in practicing speaking. Let me know if you might be interested!
I would recommend assimil Italian. It’s the same method as shown in the the video, but it’s around 20 minutes of work a day. The method was developed in the 60s I believed and has helped me a lot. It states that you get to b1 if you complete the book, but even after a month I am so comfortable in understanding Italian. I cannot spend 3 hours a day on learning a language sadly, so Assimil really is grrat
That's a great method you are using to learn Italian. It's true that when we memorize a dialogue or a text and review it everyday, we can remember it for a long time, especially when we start using words or expressions from that text.

You don't know how much that means to me... Thank You. This is my full-time job now so this is about to get intense!!!!! Yeah high school language classes are typically a joke. You have to take matters into your own hands if you want to reach fluency. MUCH LOVE.
GRATITUDE. Yeah, that's perfect. I experiment with different methods to find the most efficient ways of learning but different methods appeal to different people. Build a routine that works for you!
Bravissimo! I'm an intermediate Italian learner, and I was impressed by your dedication over just the first two weeks. The results show for themselves. I might try this method out if I ever decide to learn a 5th language (which I hope to do in the future!) P.S. As a fellow video creator, this editing is awesome too!
You are single-handedly making language apps and courses obsolete!!! This is amazing!!! I remember your French and Spanish video of you using Ted talks and using a speaking/summarizing method along with shadowing. Keep documenting the evolution of your process please!!
This is excellent and a much awaited video - glad to see you back. I've been learning Mandarin for years and have a pretty large passive vocabulary but struggle to use it (as you say - 'a little time with a lot of vocabulary' rather than 'a lot of time with a little vocabulary'). I've long held to 'input is everything and it will just come out when you need it' but there's a danger that's too passive - your approach is much more active (and of course, tougher). I've been trying this out for the last few days and I'm a fan so far. Certainly much easier if starting from an otherwise intermediate base because there are less brand new words. A particular advantage with Mandarin is there are no word conjugations. Other than the characters (which are a slog to memorise at first but get easier as you know more), the main challenges are (1) tones, and (2) flexible sentence structure. Tones make this technique slightly harder but also even more useful since it helps fluency to chain tones together. One benefit of your technique is that it gives you a sense of achievement and confidence to be able to produce 30 second snippets of native content verbatim. This is important because language learning can be demoralising at times so having shortish deliverable objectives can build a sense of progress.
I think this a request for everyone, to have someone to talk to them to the language they want to learn, that's difficult to find, and I hope as this channel progress is you can develop a community where people can connect and make friends with others so they can learn together better, funnier, and just easier. Thank you
bro you know how long i've been trying to learn french and i still can't speak but can understand and you did it in weeks. Merci pour cette méthode monsieur
OMG....FINALLLY finally you are back! I even emailed you to encourage you to keep going with the channel...never heard back...I've tested DEEPL and its better than Google as of now. It understands nuance a bit better and often gives a more "natural" translation.
Please post your video about your method for learning verb conjugation intuitively. I can't wait to learn more about your method but especially the verb conjugating because I have always felt like there should be a better way than the way everyone does it. 🙏Love your videos!
In athletics, they use this same form. I believe it’s called “periodization”. Essentially, they practice one skill over a period of time. Example: (basketball) dribbling skills. One drill with dominant hand/weak hand. Then the drill progresses towards movement with dribbling and onward. It’s very interesting to see you breakdown your approach. I love it in this way you do it. Can’t wait to see your progression! I’ll give this method a shot! You definitely are a Language Lord!
HUGE LOVE, my friend for such kind and insightful words. Since reading your comment, I've already started researching "Periodization" and I know that I'm about to fall down a very beneficial rabbit hole. I LOVEEEE Kobe Bryant and the game of basketball. I'm all about "Mamba Mentality". THANK YOU and MUCH Love, my friend fo the new insight and inspiration.
Hey man, I'm glad you're back on the channel. I've been studying English on my own, I watched all your previous videos, and I'm using most of your tips. Like you, I spend most of my day studying and being inspired by you, I was able to progress from a basic level to an advanced one, but it took me a little longer. So I'm looking forward to your next video :) By the way, your videos have always been amazing, but now you've taken them to the next level. Good job!!! 👏👏👏
MUCH LOVE. Thank you for your kind words. Keep going hard and you'll be fluent in no time. I'm about to increase my work ethic as well. See you at the top!
@@danutdracula Thanks! It means a lot to me 🤩 After more than 1 year of studying English full time, I can speak very well now. I was almost zero when I started and now I have a good level of listening, writing, grammar and vocabulary. Even though I have a hard time speaking, I can keep a conversation going, but I make some grammatical mistakes, my vocabulary disappears… So, as I’m learning English to use at work and my profession requires me to attend a lot of meetings and speak in public, I really want to master it.Thanks 🙌🏻
@@danielakeller8912 wow that's incredible. I'm curious what your native language is. I would guess Italian considering the spelling of your first name. It was my legal birth name too. I'm Romanian born and haven't gotten around to learning it yet but I do have some conversational Spanish!
THANK YOUUUUU! Such kind words. Idk how to respond. Good luck with your target language and trust that my video quality will only go up from here. Comments like this motivate me to go harder and let me know that what I do doesn't go unnoticed. MUCH lOVE, my friend. Thanks again.
Awesome idea. Another thing I would highly recommend for Italian and it's what I do with my students: Nail the vowel sounds and combinations. A, e, i, o, u and the c,g and sc combined with the vowels etc: Hard sound combos: ca, co, cu, chi, che, ga, go, gu, ghi, ghe, sca, sco, scu, schi, sche (CAH COH CUU etc) Soft sound combos: cia, cio, ciu, ci, ce, gia, gio, giu, gi, ge, scia, scio, sciu, sci, sce (chah, choh, chuu etc) Italian is all about the vowels and these combos. Master the tone and inflections of these and you instantly sound more authentic. Another important tool to use is what I call word-stitching: This is where, when reading a sentence, you don't close your voice box between words but say them all in one continuous stream. For example: "vado alla spiaggia" Beginners often say it with voice box/throat closes inbetween "vado, alla, spiaggia" wheareas it should be without that: "vadoalla spiaggia". Words starting with vowels are they ones that cause your voice box to close if you're not looking out for it.
Oh my god I’m so so glad you’re back! I was worried something happened! I’ve been so inspired by you and have been using your process (the one from your Spanish journey with less flashcards) and it’s been so helpful so thank you! I’m glad you an updated method!
Yeah I’m doing well. Just been trying to figure out how to do this full-time and improve the content. Thanks for the love. So glad the method is helpful!
Amazing from start to finish 🙌🏾 I’ve actually been doing something similar to this with my Japanese studies. I also love your editing style and I can tell how much work you put into it 👨🏽💻
Thanks a LOT. Yeah these videos take me forever to do but I've spent the past year as a graphic designer/video editor so I think I'll be able to increase my output very soon. Keep going hard, bro and you'll be fluent in no time. Between you and me... Japanese is my next language... maybe you can give me some tips on learning Asian languages...
Sounds great bro, a lot of people would say that Japanese is really difficult but in my experience I’d say the most challenging thing is learning how to navigate the writing system (mainly Kanji) ✍🏾 Also thanks I appreciate it 🙏🏾 and I look forward to seeing the next one.
@@languagelords one tip I will say is to USE ANKI. It's basically a smart flashcard system that makes learning kanji (the hardest part of Japanese) easy. Also look into cure dolly course playlist and JFZ book grammar playlist (you don't need to use the actual book) thos videos are essential for Japanese grammar and make it super simple but enough of my rambling good luck with your studies bro!
Il miglioramento è incredibile!! L'italiano realmente corretto è talmente difficile che neanche gli italiani lo parlano. Tu potresti viaggiare in Italia e nessuno farebbe alcuna fatica a capirti, in nessun paese ed in nessuna regione. Il metodo che hai seguito è strano, ma poco importa quando i risultati sono così eccezionali. Lo scoglio più grande è l'inflessione dialettale che divide il paese in centinaia di zone, dove a volte italiani che stanno a qualche chilometro di distanza, fanno fatica a capirsi l'uno con l'altro. Keep up the good work man, you're awesome!
It's been a year since his last vid , I hope to see another project of language learning with the same approach on Asian languages , as : korean , Japanese and , Chinese ! Thank you , I'll use your method, I believe it's the best 👌
Ya ganaste otro suscritor hace unas horas decidí desafiarme a profundizar en el mundo italiano intensamente por los próximo dos meses y solo en el cuarto minuto de ese video me has dado la confianza de lanzar ese proyecto nuevo. Te agradezco mucho por este contenido super útil. Saludos!
This is by far the most interesting channel on language learning! Big props, my man! I am praying everyday that u release a video on learning German. Keep up the perfect work!
This is great, I started doing something very similar a few days ago using Easy German videos. I’ve been handwriting the sentences in German then English and then trying to be able to understand and speak each part, I haven’t made it through a full video yet but will this week. I’m already noticing improvement and looking forward to continuing.
My bro, such a great phrase, we just simply don't spent enough time with the words in our vocabulary, "spent a lot of time with a little vocabulary rather than spent a little time with a lot of vocab". 🎉 Keep going man, new follower from Colombia ❤
one of my goals in life is to become a polyglot and experience other cultures in their native languages, very similar to you, and i've gotten a lot of criticism and naysayers telling me that i can't do it, and i've been so inspired by your videos and how committed you are to language learning. i don't think i can put in eight hours a day, but i hate the conventional language learning methods and how heavy they are on grammar study and textbook learning, so hopefully your method brings me better success and i'm really looking forward to these next weeks!
Your methods are insightful and inspiring, man. Especially, your method tackling speaking abilities and watching Tedtalks ✊👍👍I'm applying it to my Spanish journey. Glad to see new upload!! :) Great job, man. 👏 Saludos desde Filipinas 🇵🇭 (idk Italian 😅)
Yo! I’m two days in with this process and so far it’s proving really effective. I’m learning Serbian so quite tricky but so far I’m a minute in with four hours. Please can you show more on identifying the verb conjugations part.
YESSSSSSS! You don't know how great that makes me feel. KEEP GOING. Every single day. MUCH LOVE, my friend. P.S. I'm getting into a Asian language soon, too... But that's between me and you!
ive been learning italian for almost four years now but due to stress, holidays etc i forgot a lot so thanks for this video!! it will definitely help me freshen up my knowledge. and thank you for the pdf too!!
Two weeks ago I decided to learn Italian. And I can relate to you in Day 1. I definitely will use this method for italian, French and other languages when I feel ready. Good luck with your italian progress.
I thought you’d left us, glad you’re still uploading and more importantly aprendiendo idiomas, como siempre 🔥, voy a aprender italiano pronto, buena suerte con todo pero ya tú sabe q no la necesita😂
Nah, I'm still here LOL. I'll be going hard with the videos from now on. I've made it my full-time job. Gracias mi amigo! Y tú también! Buena suerte con el italiano! Mantén la constancia. Mantén la motivación!
@@just1frosty516 Yeah Romanian and Greek are both on my list. I'm not gonna lie.... I'm afraid of Arabic. My Algerian friend told me there are 12 million common words in the language and the verbs are a b***tch. It would be a cool challenge though. We'll see.
@@languagelords Arabic for sure is a bish I love it tho, it’s definitely in my opinion is top3 hardest language to learn. How often do u dream in the languages you’ve learned?
Wow, I was literally binge watching your channel (AGAIN!) just the other week wondering if you were going to return! I love your content! Inspiring, encouraging, educational and so so helpful!! Your videos give me the push I need to continue learning. Thank you!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank youuuuuu! These are the types of comments that motivate me to go even harder and provide not only great content but also great packaging. MUCH Love.
I wish I had your discipline! You are a hardworking man who doesn’t let anything stop him. It is very inspiring and amazing to see a person like you out there.
LOVE it, even when you're not motivated just do a little bit everyday. Consistency and repetition are the most powerful tools for the human brain. Shadow a video in your target language for 5 mins or make a 5 min video of you speaking your target language. You can always do 5 mins. MUCH LOVE, brodie.
I've been watching since your first video. It really motivating to see how much time you dedicate to a language. I've been trying to learn Portuguese on and off for about 3 years but now its crunch time because I'm going to Brazil next month. If I didn't work 12 hour shifts I'd be spending 8 hours a day trying to prepare.
The way you pronounce italian words after just two weeks is mindblowing, keep up like this and in a couple of months you'll talk better than half of natives ahah. Good job and thanks for having considered italian Il modo in cui pronunci le parole italiane dopo solo due settimane è strabiliante, continua così e in un paio di mesi lo parlerai meglio della metà dei madrelingua ahah. Bel lavoro e grazie per aver considerato l'italiano
Bro, I think you might be some kind of genius. I'm at B1 in Portuguese and struggling to get past that stage. I'm going to use your methods to improve and see what happens.
I never clicked so fast in my life. I didn't even read the title. If I may request, can you please do a deep dive video on how to improve my target language for advanced learners so I even become native-like in the target language at every aspect, and my goal is to become a teacher in my target language which in my case is English. It doesn't matter if it was 10 hours a day or 12 hours a day. Thank you so much for the effort
You’ve made incredible progress in just 2 week amazing! One slight warning is your accent, which comes across like how someone who speaks spanish would speak italian (such as the ‘e’ sound). Great content anyway! Keep it up!
I had to do that while I had a full-time job. I'll make a video about it. Thanks for the idea. But for now, I'd say make use of the times during the day that don't require much thought i.e. walking to the train, riding the train, driving to work, your lunch break, getting ready for the day, meal times, etc and overlay some language exercises during these times. My personal favorite exercise is SHADOWING which I explain in just about every video. In this video, I explain it quickly at 4:27. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help. Thanks for the love!
I am watching your youtube from South Korea. I’m glad you are back. I was waited for your new video. I have interest in language learning I am applying your method to learn Spanish. Thank you for sharing valuable tips.
This has to be the most informative video on language learning I have seen. I was having a lot of trouble finding a good video of how exactly to start language learning, and a method that was effective. This method seems the most efficient thus far. Thank you
@dylanvalencia349 it works man. You just got to keep at it to learn those 1000 words front and back. I learned them in order through flash cards. Then learn them out of order, you should have them memorized. Then try to learn 1000 more words. You should be able to have conversations at this point
Hey, good question. Personally, I never read (alone). Reading alone is not an exercise that I find efficient. If I am reading something in a foreign language, I am listening to it at the same time. By listening and reading subtitles simultaneously, you will pick up pronunciation rules very quickly. Use TH-cam vids to do this and check out EASY LANGUAGES. They might have vids in your target language. Much love, my friend.
Amazing bro!! Your method is ground-breaking for the language learning community and your videos are inspiring!! I'd like to see how this method would work in ``harder`` languages or '' ''more grammatically complicated'' as japanese or arabic. Keep it up
Is this a better method to start with than the one you used in the learning Spanish video? Love your videos, excited you’re back and will be making consistent content.
Thanks for the love, bro. I’m back to stay this time! Yeah, In the Spanish video I recommended Duo Lingo etc if you are starting from scratch, but I definitely recommend this method over those apps.
@@languagelords oh ok, so start with this method then transition into the other method. Am I correct? Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, your vids are crazy helpful.
@@boostedgixxer Yup I def stand by the method I used for Spanish. But from learning Spanish, I learned that it's INCREDIBLY beneficial to start with a period of hyper-intensive input as I describe in this video. DITCH Duo Lingo, etc. So glad my content helps you, bro. MUCH LOVE.
Yessir...it's like when I used to hear Kobe speak fluent Italian flipped my lid. Let me know more of us need to be out there international with it fr fr
Talk about timing! I just subscribed yesterday from you 44 day Spanish journey and I'm applying some of your techniques to my Japanese studies. Cheers!
It was crazy to see your French video and this too and damn, great editing. I believe one thing should be added thought to set expectations and it is that you know English, French and Spanish which makes Italian ultra easy
@@Crashawsome Hey there, I don't know how many languages you know or if you know how close they are, but Spanish and Italians can understand each other(to a basic level with knowing 0 of each other's languages) and he knows more than that. Would "very" be a better word? I just meant that in his context is is MUCH easier to learn and people come to this videos and set expectations, that is why I said it.
I tried the method of repetition and my memories when I had to memorize historical facts in elementary school started to appear and were not nice experiences 😖
Really excited for your future... love the innovation and trying so many different techniques. I look forward when you review your journey and decide the best overall formula. The videos are getting more impressive everytime as well!
Plz do. GRAZIE!!! It would be an honor that you learn English with this method. But wait until the next vids in this series. I'm gonna drop some bombssss. LEtS GO, BRO!

I've been learning Mandarin for years and have a pretty large passive vocabulary but struggle to use it (as you say - 'a little time with a lot of vocabulary' rather than 'a lot of time with a little vocabulary'). I've long held to 'input is everything and it will just come out when you need it' but there's a danger that's too passive - your approach is much more active (and of course, tougher).
I've been trying this out for the last few days and I'm a fan so far. Certainly much easier if starting from an otherwise intermediate base because there are less brand new words. A particular advantage with Mandarin is there are no word conjugations. Other than the characters (which are a slog to memorise at first but get easier as you know more), the main challenges are (1) tones, and (2) flexible sentence structure. Tones make this technique slightly harder but also even more useful since it helps fluency to chain tones together.
One benefit of your technique is that it gives you a sense of achievement and confidence to be able to produce 30 second snippets of native content verbatim. This is important because language learning can be demoralising at times so having shortish deliverable objectives can build a sense of progress.
I think this a request for everyone, to have someone to talk to them to the language they want to learn, that's difficult to find, and I hope as this channel progress is you can develop a community where people can connect and make friends with others so they can learn together better, funnier, and just easier. Thank you
bro you know how long i've been trying to learn french and i still can't speak but can understand and you did it in weeks.
Merci pour cette méthode monsieur
OMG....FINALLLY finally you are back! I even emailed you to encourage you to keep going with the channel...never heard back...I've tested DEEPL and its better than Google as of now. It understands nuance a bit better and often gives a more "natural" translation.
Please post your video about your method for learning verb conjugation intuitively. I can't wait to learn more about your method but especially the verb conjugating because I have always felt like there should be a better way than the way everyone does it. 🙏Love your videos!
In athletics, they use this same form. I believe it’s called “periodization”. Essentially, they practice one skill over a period of time. Example: (basketball) dribbling skills. One drill with dominant hand/weak hand. Then the drill progresses towards movement with dribbling and onward. It’s very interesting to see you breakdown your approach. I love it in this way you do it. Can’t wait to see your progression! I’ll give this method a shot! You definitely are a Language Lord!
HUGE LOVE, my friend for such kind and insightful words. Since reading your comment, I've already started researching "Periodization" and I know that I'm about to fall down a very beneficial rabbit hole. I LOVEEEE Kobe Bryant and the game of basketball. I'm all about "Mamba Mentality". THANK YOU and MUCH Love, my friend fo the new insight and inspiration.
Maya Angelou said it simply in the most beautiful way, “When you learn, teach. And when you get, give.” Much love back at you! Mamba Forever ❤️
@@yousaku87 That just made me SO happy. *crying emoji*
Hey man, I'm glad you're back on the channel. I've been studying English on my own, I watched all your previous videos, and I'm using most of your tips. Like you, I spend most of my day studying and being inspired by you, I was able to progress from a basic level to an advanced one, but it took me a little longer. So I'm looking forward to your next video :) By the way, your videos have always been amazing, but now you've taken them to the next level. Good job!!! 👏👏👏
MUCH LOVE. Thank you for your kind words. Keep going hard and you'll be fluent in no time. I'm about to increase my work ethic as well. See you at the top!
I cannot believe you are not a fluent/native English speaker judging from this paragraph!
@@danutdracula Thanks! It means a lot to me 🤩 After more than 1 year of studying English full time, I can speak very well now. I was almost zero when I started and now I have a good level of listening, writing, grammar and vocabulary. Even though I have a hard time speaking, I can keep a conversation going, but I make some grammatical mistakes, my vocabulary disappears… So, as I’m learning English to use at work and my profession requires me to attend a lot of meetings and speak in public, I really want to master it.Thanks 🙌🏻
@@danielakeller8912 wow that's incredible. I'm curious what your native language is. I would guess Italian considering the spelling of your first name. It was my legal birth name too. I'm Romanian born and haven't gotten around to learning it yet but I do have some conversational Spanish!
@@danutdracula I'm Brazilian. But I live in Spain, so I also speak Spanish too.
Dude, your editing skills have gotten crazy since your last video. Good luck on learning Italian 👍
THANK YOUUUUU! Such kind words. Idk how to respond. Good luck with your target language and trust that my video quality will only go up from here. Comments like this motivate me to go harder and let me know that what I do doesn't go unnoticed. MUCH lOVE, my friend. Thanks again.
Awesome idea. Another thing I would highly recommend for Italian and it's what I do with my students: Nail the vowel sounds and combinations. A, e, i, o, u and the c,g and sc combined with the vowels etc:
Hard sound combos: ca, co, cu, chi, che, ga, go, gu, ghi, ghe, sca, sco, scu, schi, sche (CAH COH CUU etc)
Soft sound combos: cia, cio, ciu, ci, ce, gia, gio, giu, gi, ge, scia, scio, sciu, sci, sce (chah, choh, chuu etc)
Italian is all about the vowels and these combos. Master the tone and inflections of these and you instantly sound more authentic.
Another important tool to use is what I call word-stitching: This is where, when reading a sentence, you don't close your voice box between words but say them all in one continuous stream.
For example: "vado alla spiaggia"
Beginners often say it with voice box/throat closes inbetween "vado, alla, spiaggia" wheareas it should be without that: "vadoalla spiaggia". Words starting with vowels are they ones that cause your voice box to close if you're not looking out for it.
Sto seguendo i tuoi metodi e ho già imparato due lingue nuove in un anno, ora sto imparando la terza. Sei geniale, continua così!
I just started my journey to learn Italian about two weeks ago and you are way ahead of me! I’m gonna have to try your method
how is it going now mate? i bet you fluent by now
This method is also really good for sounding more natural, it may be odd at first but it helps me feel more confident when I speak!
Oh my god I’m so so glad you’re back! I was worried something happened! I’ve been so inspired by you and have been using your process (the one from your Spanish journey with less flashcards) and it’s been so helpful so thank you! I’m glad you an updated method!
Yeah I’m doing well. Just been trying to figure out how to do this full-time and improve the content. Thanks for the love. So glad the method is helpful!
Agreed and same here 😊
I saw you in an Ikenna video’s comments. Crazy how that works.
He was doing this and grinding
@@callmeqt1269 she's everywhere bro
Amazing from start to finish 🙌🏾 I’ve actually been doing something similar to this with my Japanese studies. I also love your editing style and I can tell how much work you put into it 👨🏽💻
Thanks a LOT. Yeah these videos take me forever to do but I've spent the past year as a graphic designer/video editor so I think I'll be able to increase my output very soon. Keep going hard, bro and you'll be fluent in no time. Between you and me... Japanese is my next language... maybe you can give me some tips on learning Asian languages...
Sounds great bro, a lot of people would say that Japanese is really difficult but in my experience I’d say the most challenging thing is learning how to navigate the writing system (mainly Kanji) ✍🏾
Also thanks I appreciate it 🙏🏾 and I look forward to seeing the next one.
@@languagelords one tip I will say is to USE ANKI. It's basically a smart flashcard system that makes learning kanji (the hardest part of Japanese) easy. Also look into cure dolly course playlist and JFZ book grammar playlist (you don't need to use the actual book) thos videos are essential for Japanese grammar and make it super simple but enough of my rambling good luck with your studies bro!
Cara parabéns! Estou planejando o mesmo, sou brasileira. Estou amando seu processo!
Esse cara é um gênio kkk vou começar usar os métodos deles pra melhorar meu inglês
Il miglioramento è incredibile!! L'italiano realmente corretto è talmente difficile che neanche gli italiani lo parlano.
Tu potresti viaggiare in Italia e nessuno farebbe alcuna fatica a capirti, in nessun paese ed in nessuna regione.
Il metodo che hai seguito è strano, ma poco importa quando i risultati sono così eccezionali.
Lo scoglio più grande è l'inflessione dialettale che divide il paese in centinaia di zone, dove a volte italiani che stanno a qualche chilometro di distanza, fanno fatica a capirsi l'uno con l'altro.
Keep up the good work man, you're awesome!
YOU'RE BACK!!
Ive been using the methods from you're Spanish video and im starting to understand Spanish better. Thanks! 👍🏽💯
YESSIR. LOVE TO HEAR THAT. GO HARD, bro and master it. Do something EVERY DAMN DAY!
It's been a year since his last vid , I hope to see another project of language learning with the same approach on Asian languages , as : korean , Japanese and , Chinese !
Thank you , I'll use your method, I believe it's the best 👌
Ya ganaste otro suscritor hace unas horas decidí desafiarme a profundizar en el mundo italiano intensamente por los próximo dos meses y solo en el cuarto minuto de ese video me has dado la confianza de lanzar ese proyecto nuevo. Te agradezco mucho por este contenido super útil. Saludos!
I hope you’re doing OK and that you can come back soon. Your methods are really excellent. 🌸
The Romance Language Lord 🙂Great to see another one of your videos.
The boss has return!!! Man pleaase make a video speaking portuguese, i am Brazilian
This is by far the most interesting channel on language learning! Big props, my man! I am praying everyday that u release a video on learning German. Keep up the perfect work!
This is great, I started doing something very similar a few days ago using Easy German videos. I’ve been handwriting the sentences in German then English and then trying to be able to understand and speak each part, I haven’t made it through a full video yet but will this week. I’m already noticing improvement and looking forward to continuing.
I am also trying this method on German. How is it going? Any updates? Good luck!
German grammar is tough
How are things after a year?
My bro, such a great phrase, we just simply don't spent enough time with the words in our vocabulary, "spent a lot of time with a little vocabulary rather than spent a little time with a lot of vocab". 🎉
Keep going man, new follower from Colombia ❤
one of my goals in life is to become a polyglot and experience other cultures in their native languages, very similar to you, and i've gotten a lot of criticism and naysayers telling me that i can't do it, and i've been so inspired by your videos and how committed you are to language learning. i don't think i can put in eight hours a day, but i hate the conventional language learning methods and how heavy they are on grammar study and textbook learning, so hopefully your method brings me better success and i'm really looking forward to these next weeks!
HE'S BACK LETS GOOOOOO!! TROP BIEN!
Your methods are insightful and inspiring, man. Especially, your method tackling speaking abilities and watching Tedtalks ✊👍👍I'm applying it to my Spanish journey. Glad to see new upload!! :) Great job, man. 👏 Saludos desde Filipinas 🇵🇭 (idk Italian 😅)
Yo! I’m two days in with this process and so far it’s proving really effective. I’m learning Serbian so quite tricky but so far I’m a minute in with four hours.
Please can you show more on identifying the verb conjugations part.
OMG HE'S BACK
He's back! I've been applying your methods for korean, major improvements since then! Keep it up 💯
YESSSSSSS! You don't know how great that makes me feel. KEEP GOING. Every single day. MUCH LOVE, my friend. P.S. I'm getting into a Asian language soon, too... But that's between me and you!
ive been learning italian for almost four years now but due to stress, holidays etc i forgot a lot so thanks for this video!! it will definitely help me freshen up my knowledge. and thank you for the pdf too!!
Two weeks ago I decided to learn Italian. And I can relate to you in Day 1. I definitely will use this method for italian, French and other languages when I feel ready. Good luck with your italian progress.
I thought you’d left us, glad you’re still uploading and more importantly aprendiendo idiomas, como siempre 🔥, voy a aprender italiano pronto, buena suerte con todo pero ya tú sabe q no la necesita😂
Nah, I'm still here LOL. I'll be going hard with the videos from now on. I've made it my full-time job. Gracias mi amigo! Y tú también! Buena suerte con el italiano! Mantén la constancia. Mantén la motivación!
@@languagelords gracias manito, ya sabes el próximo idioma quieres aprender? Me encantaría verte aprender Rumano, greco, o arabe
@@just1frosty516 Yeah Romanian and Greek are both on my list. I'm not gonna lie.... I'm afraid of Arabic. My Algerian friend told me there are 12 million common words in the language and the verbs are a b***tch. It would be a cool challenge though. We'll see.
@@languagelords Arabic for sure is a bish I love it tho, it’s definitely in my opinion is top3 hardest language to learn. How often do u dream in the languages you’ve learned?
This is an interesting language learning strategy. I will use this to learn German and see how it goes. See you all in 6 weeks!
Hallo ! T'es à quel niveau maintenant après tes 6semaines?
You really make some of the best language learning videos on YT! More please! I'm excited to see you take on a non romance language :D
You've done it again!!! Wow your methods are really effective bravo
Music to my ears. Thank you. MUCH more to come. Let's become polyglots together!
Wow, I was literally binge watching your channel (AGAIN!) just the other week wondering if you were going to return! I love your content! Inspiring, encouraging, educational and so so helpful!! Your videos give me the push I need to continue learning. Thank you!!
when the world needed him he came back
In my opinion you have the best Videos on your channel when it comes to learning a new language! You gotta keep going!!
But when the world needed him most he vanished…so happy to see you back! Looking forward to the new videos over the next few weeks.
You already know APE. I'm going hard from now onnnnn!!!
The quality of your videos bro, sick!
And also the language learning content 10/10
Thank you, thank you, thank you and thank youuuuuu! These are the types of comments that motivate me to go even harder and provide not only great content but also great packaging. MUCH Love.
I wish I had your discipline! You are a hardworking man who doesn’t let anything stop him. It is very inspiring and amazing to see a person like you out there.
Amazing how you do this. Keep at it you’re unique and inspiring to the rest of us.
That means sooo much to me. You could never even know. Thank you and success in everything you do, my friend. Much love.
I want to say a special thanks for Your Entire 1000-Word Vocabulary!
Your Spanish video motivates me to keep learning. I go back to it when I feel like giving up ,Thankyou!
LOVE it, even when you're not motivated just do a little bit everyday. Consistency and repetition are the most powerful tools for the human brain. Shadow a video in your target language for 5 mins or make a 5 min video of you speaking your target language. You can always do 5 mins. MUCH LOVE, brodie.
I've been watching since your first video. It really motivating to see how much time you dedicate to a language. I've been trying to learn Portuguese on and off for about 3 years but now its crunch time because I'm going to Brazil next month. If I didn't work 12 hour shifts I'd be spending 8 hours a day trying to prepare.
The way you pronounce italian words after just two weeks is mindblowing, keep up like this and in a couple of months you'll talk better than half of natives ahah. Good job and thanks for having considered italian
Il modo in cui pronunci le parole italiane dopo solo due settimane è strabiliante, continua così e in un paio di mesi lo parlerai meglio della metà dei madrelingua ahah. Bel lavoro e grazie per aver considerato l'italiano
dude your italian is more than good atm, now you gotta learn the dialects lmao :)
Grande, bel canale
On point bro 💪🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾 I'm applying these methods in order to learn Portuguese, this guidance is invaluable!
Bro, I think you might be some kind of genius. I'm at B1 in Portuguese and struggling to get past that stage. I'm going to use your methods to improve and see what happens.
The best TH-cam channel ever is back! Learn chinese or arabic next bro
I never clicked so fast in my life. I didn't even read the title. If I may request, can you please do a deep dive video on how to improve my target language for advanced learners so I even become native-like in the target language at every aspect, and my goal is to become a teacher in my target language which in my case is English. It doesn't matter if it was 10 hours a day or 12 hours a day. Thank you so much for the effort
You’ve made incredible progress in just 2 week amazing! One slight warning is your accent, which comes across like how someone who speaks spanish would speak italian (such as the ‘e’ sound). Great content anyway! Keep it up!
Your method is on point. So now u have 3 foreign languages under ur belt. Continue 2 do well on ur path 2 being a polyglot.
This is absolutely FANTASTIC! Your method looks INTENSE! I am inspired! Looking forward to subsequent videos.
So happy you are back making videos, you really inspire me and i love your approach to learning, its perfect for me
That makes my night, my friend. I promise to keep providing high quality content because of comments like yours. Much love.
I love your videos! How would you recommend breaking down the different methods for someone who cannot study 8 hours a day?
I had to do that while I had a full-time job. I'll make a video about it. Thanks for the idea. But for now, I'd say make use of the times during the day that don't require much thought i.e. walking to the train, riding the train, driving to work, your lunch break, getting ready for the day, meal times, etc and overlay some language exercises during these times. My personal favorite exercise is SHADOWING which I explain in just about every video. In this video, I explain it quickly at 4:27. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'm happy to help. Thanks for the love!
@@languagelords HELP ME PLEASE!!!!!!! I really don't understand how you actually understand the words. I'm really stuck, please help me
I am watching your youtube from South Korea. I’m glad you are back. I was waited for your new video. I have interest in language learning I am applying your method to learn Spanish. Thank you for sharing valuable tips.
This has to be the most informative video on language learning I have seen. I was having a lot of trouble finding a good video of how exactly to start language learning, and a method that was effective. This method seems the most efficient thus far. Thank you
how was it? did it work on you?
@dylanvalencia349 it works man. You just got to keep at it to learn those 1000 words front and back. I learned them in order through flash cards. Then learn them out of order, you should have them memorized. Then try to learn 1000 more words. You should be able to have conversations at this point
@@cipherpol9190 how do you memorize the definitions of the words like the dude in the video? he said he never used flashcards
I hope you're well, and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the series soon!
Yesssssss! Thank goodness you’re back lol!!! We have missed you!!!!! Linguist King!!!!
the editing improvement is crazy
hi sir, i'm so glad you're back !
can you tell me please How can you read without learning basic pronunciation rules?
Hey, good question. Personally, I never read (alone). Reading alone is not an exercise that I find efficient. If I am reading something in a foreign language, I am listening to it at the same time. By listening and reading subtitles simultaneously, you will pick up pronunciation rules very quickly. Use TH-cam vids to do this and check out EASY LANGUAGES. They might have vids in your target language. Much love, my friend.
@@languagelords Thank you very much, you are amazing my friend
You are such a greater teacher and inspiration
Amazing bro!! Your method is ground-breaking for the language learning community and your videos are inspiring!! I'd like to see how this method would work in ``harder`` languages or '' ''more grammatically complicated'' as japanese or arabic. Keep it up
I'm learning English through the effortless method, but I also really enjoyed this method.
Is this a better method to start with than the one you used in the learning Spanish video? Love your videos, excited you’re back and will be making consistent content.
Thanks for the love, bro. I’m back to stay this time! Yeah, In the Spanish video I recommended Duo Lingo etc if you are starting from scratch, but I definitely recommend this method over those apps.
@@languagelords oh ok, so start with this method then transition into the other method. Am I correct? Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, your vids are crazy helpful.
@@boostedgixxer Yup I def stand by the method I used for Spanish. But from learning Spanish, I learned that it's INCREDIBLY beneficial to start with a period of hyper-intensive input as I describe in this video. DITCH Duo Lingo, etc. So glad my content helps you, bro. MUCH LOVE.
@@languagelords thank you it’s greatly appreciated
Did you leave youtube? When does part 2 weeks 3 and 4 come out?
Man, Burn-out! That video is in production though.
@@languagelords oh thank god thought you went afk. Take your time keep the great work up.
Been waiting for you man!
Yessir...it's like when I used to hear Kobe speak fluent Italian flipped my lid. Let me know more of us need to be out there international with it fr fr
HE’S BACK HOLY!!!!
Keep up the good work! I have an advantage, redesigning farms and being in country with native speakers. Looking forward to the next video.
Talk about timing! I just subscribed yesterday from you 44 day Spanish journey and I'm applying some of your techniques to my Japanese studies. Cheers!
JAPANESE... YESSSSS. I can't wait to start Japanese!!! CHEERS and LOVE my friend!
I’m trying to learn Italian as well, and I just hit my first big motivation valley, so hopefully this can be some inspiration for me
AS EXPECTED. Do at least a tiny bit everyday even in a valley. Something will re-motivate you. Let me know how I can help, brodie. MUCH LOVE.
any update on how you mastered verb conjugations?
Why did you quit the channel? You were doing great.
Is your method working? What's your level of Italian now?
I’m gonna try this with French. Love your vids
The editing of the video is insanely nice!
2:40 the theory is also called the Krashen hypothesis
great video production and editing bro and of course great job on the content of the video you're killing it
bro i love this guy’s videos so much
Thank you! Your content is super clean and clear! 😊
It was crazy to see your French video and this too and damn, great editing.
I believe one thing should be added thought to set expectations and it is that you know English, French and Spanish which makes Italian ultra easy
@@Crashawsome
Hey there, I don't know how many languages you know or if you know how close they are, but Spanish and Italians can understand each other(to a basic level with knowing 0 of each other's languages) and he knows more than that.
Would "very" be a better word? I just meant that in his context is is MUCH easier to learn and people come to this videos and set expectations, that is why I said it.
I tried the method of repetition and my memories when I had to memorize historical facts in elementary school started to appear and were not nice experiences 😖
Really excited for your future... love the innovation and trying so many different techniques. I look forward when you review your journey and decide the best overall formula. The videos are getting more impressive everytime as well!
Perfetto! I think I will use your video to learn English with your method. Grazie
Plz do. GRAZIE!!! It would be an honor that you learn English with this method. But wait until the next vids in this series. I'm gonna drop some bombssss. LEtS GO, BRO!
