  • New Blog Post with 3 Bonus Techniques:
    www.lucalampariello.com/how-t...
    Today you will discover 10 incredibly effective techniques to memorize vocabulary in a new language.
    What you need to know first is that many language learners either have never heard of these techniques or they simply don’t know how to use them.
    In the first half of the video I’ll discuss about what is word networking and how you can develop that by using a holistic approach through listening, reading, and selection.
    This will enable you to quickly understand basic spoken language and identify the words that you need in everyday life.
    In the second half, I’ll tell you how you can use the association-deconstruction-dynamic repetition formula to build-up a broad range of vocabulary into your long-term memory.
    In the end I’ll touch upon the untapped benefits of note taking and how you can use that to memorize vocabulary quickly and efficiently.

    1. Create a spider web of associations.
    2. Listen while reading
    3. Select words that are relevant and interesting for you. Don't just learn everything. Focus on learning 1/3 (or 80/20)
    4. Association
    5. Deconstruction
    6. Dynamic repetition
    7. Note taking

    What works for me is associating a new word to a word or a sound in an another language.
    For example:
    The Hebrew word for "snake" is "nahash". For me it sounds like a snake is angry: "hushhhhhhh". It may not be true, but I remembered it right away.
    Another example: "soup" is "marak", sounds like Morroco, so everytime I think about how to say soup, I think of Morroco.

    As an English teacher it is super hard for me to motivate students to learn vocabulary. Because it is the boring and "worky" part of learning a language. Currently studying some techniques to make it "fun". Thanks for the tips!

    • @FrozenMermaid666
      @FrozenMermaid666 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only fun way would be if everyone would add proper subtitles in all Germanic / Celtic / Latin languages to all the videos on yt and if those teaching languages would create very entertaining videos with a lot of variations, and keep including each word in multiple videos, so that one doesn’t have to rewatch the same video again, because that is the truly boring / annoying part, when I must re-watch the same vocab video multiple times to get the words to become part of my permanent memory, plus it takes more exposure to many of the words for them to become part of one’s automatic memory! The problem with most videos is that they only include and use regular terms that I already know, even videos that aren’t about language learning, so that makes it impossible to learn new / rare / truly advanced words in a truly fun way such as passive learning, which is how I learned Spanish in childhood, by just watching a lot of TV series and movies and listening to a lot of lyrics in Spanish for fun, and I am now native speaker level in Spanish as a result of my watching and listening to them for fun! But know it’s different now tho, because now I want to learn languages on my own and I want to learn them as fast as possible, and it would be possible to do so if they all kept including really advanced terms in all the videos on a regular bases, so that I keep getting exposed to those new terms, and it’s a lot easier if the words are used in context with pics or short clips that are shown or played along with the words, so that one understands the action associated with a verb or another word etc!

    • @FrozenMermaid666
      @FrozenMermaid666 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Besides, they should all speak slowly, so that I can have enough time to read the sub in Dutch or in German or another language and to process the information and understand the action etc, without having to replay the scene over and over or pause the video, which is also very annoying when one tries learning a new language! Speaking fast is just wrong, even in general! And everyone should always speak slowly and properly enunciate each syllable, so that others can easily understand and have time to process the information, otherwise it won’t be fun to listen to someone that speaks fast and skips half the words, which results in total gibberish that no one can understand, and no one wants to have to try and decipher what someone is trying to say, anyway!

    • @FrozenMermaid666
      @FrozenMermaid666 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Honestly, it should have been a yt requirement for each video to be upped with subs in all the pretty languages that exist, the pretty languages including all Germanic languages and all Celtic languages and all Latin languages (Galician / French / Gallo / Portuguese / Catalan / Spanish / Occitan / Latin / Esperanto / Italian and the Italian-based dialects) and Hungarian and maybe a few others - to think how many videos and movies I watched that I could have watched with subs in the languages I want to learn, and now I would have been fluent in many (if not most) of them, so it just feels like a total waist of time!

    Of all the videos giving tips this may be the only one I found really useful THANK YOU!!!- and applies for every language, but for me, learning Russian and really struggling to memorise the basic words I would add two more tips, one , keep a sheet of paper in your back pocket with your latest phrases on, then you can pull it out anytime you are waiting for a bus or anything. Not your phone or you will get distracted!!! These little moments have proven so useful as I now see a phrase several times a day not just once. Secondly, drawing a picture with the phrase, even if terribly drawn, seems to put it into a totally different part of my brain. Easier for nouns than adverbs, but it doesn't seem to matter.

    This is fantastic. As an ESL tutor, I've been using most of these techniques instinctively, but I'm so glad I'm on the right track. English is not my mother tongue, so I had to learn most of it on my own and unknowingly I've used these techniques to learn. Recently I've been playing with homophones and homographs with my student and it's been an amazing learning experience for her. Thank you for helping me putting into words what I instinctively knew.

  • @becingu

    This is fantastic, thank you. My Latin teacher in high school used some of these same techniques, although I didn't realize it at the time, and after two years of classes, I scored in the top 5 percentile on the Latin SATs. Yet my few subsequent attempts to learn another language failed miserably, mainly, I now think, because they were so focused on trying to learn one word at a time. I am currently planning to moving to Southeast Asia after the pandemic, and have been worried because I couldn't retain words at all. Now I have these techniques that immediately made sense to me and resonate with the way I think and learn other new information. So thanks again, and keep up the great work!

    I also have another tip
    It is relevant to your method of learning relevant words.
    Something I do that really helps is to start speaking in that language about whatever topic that would interest me in the languages I speak confidently.
    A lot of times I catch myself not knowing the word or grammar for sth that interests me, so I look it up, take notes and then make sentences related to the topic I was talking about.
    Learning a language through learning to talk about your interests really helps you advance.
    Because usually people aren't interested in learning words like "faucet" unless they're a plumber or just happen to need it. If you like talking about poetry trying to learn words that aid you talk about it in your target language will help you learn it better.
    Also I prefer doing this with speaking cuz I like listening to the words and the context I learned them in but it could also be done with writing

    Great advice thanks...I'm 54 and am just starting to learn Russian...I started 2 weeks ago and have so far learned the Cyrillic script and know about 100 words....Some words I just need to read a few times and they commit to memory, whilst other words I find extremely difficult to memorize no matter how many times I read, write or say them...Your technique sounds great in theory, so I'll practice it for sure.

    Brilliant!
    Both the content of the video, and his superb mastery of English.
    It bugs me that Steve Kaufmann says that he finds Luca's English not fully native.
    I swear that Luca has a greater mastery, pronunciation and just basic fluent native quality to his English than many born natives that I've met, even possibly myself included, certainly before I've had my first coffee of the day, any day.
    It's hard to fathom that he's learned any language so well as an adult.
    Then to think that he's got like five or ten more just as fluent, and fluent it is, in the most stringent sense of the word.
    Well done, Luke!
    And thanks a ton for sharing your invaluable tips.
    And if you ever fancy learning some Canary Whistle Language, I've recently put up a couple of demonstration and explanation videos of it on my tiny and very amateur channel here.
    I'd be honoured to give you a few pointers to get you started with it.
    Best wishes,
    Patrick.

      Hey there! Thanks for the lovely words =)
      I think I have been steadily improving my pronunciation and articulation through constant exposure, use and teaching the language myself. More and more people I meet in real life think I am a native English speaker from the Midwest.
      Canary Whistle Language sounds cool! =)

      This is 4 years old but anyway: Steve Kaufman (or "Kowfman" as he says now as he professes to speak German) is an old fart speaking for hours and hours and hours in his native language English. A pain in the ass and to be avoided, that´s what he is. The same about those saying "hello", "goodbye" and "I speak your language" in forty languages. Grüße aus Deutschland!

      No, not true. I guess you decided to troll him, based on nothing, or maybe envy.
      Both Luke and Steve are surely in the top ten experts and exponents of efficient language acquisition in the world, a field they've both innovated and changed for the better.
      Both have more than proven themselves as AMAZING polyglots and teachers, in the broadest sense of the words.

      Whatever Steve Kaufman thinks is irrelevant. As a native Italian I can tell you that his Italian is an utter mess - he mixes Spanish with French and can't conjugate beyond lower intermediate. I also heard him speak in Brazilian Portuguese (a language I am fluent in) and it is barely scraping beginner level. He is the impostor and is jealous of Luca without a doubt. I have seen videos of different natives in a number of languages reviewing Luca's proficiency and by and large they attest that he speaks any of the languages he claims to speak (Greek, Russian, Hungarian, European Portuguese, French and even Polish among others) at advanced level with minimal accent.

    Thank you for your presentation in writing. Watching the video and reading the same material is a great way to reinforce the material. Video is fast. Reading is much like ruminating which takes time to process and is therefore digested. For example, I think of walking and driving down a road. If I drive, I get from point A to B. If I walk, I see the roses, people, and I can interact with the environment. TH-cam has millions of videos. To read them would take multiple lifetimes. Video is great to peruse. Reading repeatedly is necessary to really learn something. Thank you for your video.

    I do exactly the same when it comes to German.
    I always break down this long words into their constituent parts.
    I even understand these words not as single long words but rather separate words sticking together.
    Sometimes I even forget about whether these words should stick together or not.

  • @clairegittens3707
    @clairegittens3707 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Septilinguist and totally agree. My favourite of these is deconstruction. My bf and I both have French as our second language, and we read together for practice. He can rarely guess th meanings of words, but I am good with patterns so I intuitively recognize the roots in words. In Japanese, my 5th language, many people hate the Chinese symbols used to write words. I love them. If you know a lot of them, you can recognize words you’ve never heard before, even when they aren’t written.

      @danieltemelkovski9828 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Really? I find that fascinating. I barely speak a lick of German (I've dabbled), but the length of "scary" German words has never seemed an imposing obstacle to me. To take a phrase that was used in this video - dynamic repetition - if instead of two words that were just one word in English - dynamicrepetition - I can't even begin to see how it's any scarier.
      Or maybe I'm just an odd duck. In high school I remember being taught what the supposed longest word in English was - antidisestablishmentarianism - and the reaction from the other kids (this is in Australia, so all native English speakers) was along the lines of oh wow, what a monster, God help us. My feeling was more like okay, there's a lot of syllables there, but that doesn't imply that the meaning of the word is necessarily going to be impossibly difficult to understand. (This word requires some historical and political background knowledge to properly grasp, so I don't think many of us, me included, really understood the definition of it the teacher gave us, but I was able to come away with a basic understanding that the distestablishmentarianists opposed the church and so 'antidisestablishmentarianism' was simply the 'philosophy' (if it even amounts to that) of the people who, in turn, opposed them.)

    The aim of the memorization is to be able to understand a text when you're in situation. For example, I'm French and unfortunately for me, I left English out even though I had a pretty good level, nay I was probably able to speak fluently with any English natives or English teachers. Therefore, I'm catching my level again in order to be able to speak fluently again. Just big thank you for Luca for all your device ! You're good man.

    @AmbiCahira 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Great list! Theres one I wish was in the list though and that is to attach words to pictures and not to words. For my first language I had no words so I attached word to sight (when parents asks do you want the red crayon or the blue crayon they usually move the options to cue which one is which through hand motion each option) but when I learned my second language (English) I attached new words to old words so when people asked a question in the new language I had to break it down into parts, remember each attached word to each part and look at the picture associated with the word, think of an answer, piece each section back into the new sentence structure order and formulate the answer and this long thought process made me tired within seconds of interacting and to fix the in head translation crutch habit took ages to undo. Now with the third language I pretend I don't have a language and attach new words to images so when I listen I can jump straight to the picture so if I hear "red yarn in the basket" I right away picture it without word thinking. I think this tip is pretty important for inexperienced language learners because we want language to feel good, not dreading that brain translation heaviness.
