My tip is to speak with your own self (when you are home alone fe) that's how I learned English (I'm Russian). When you speak even with yourself, you really get used to the language you learn like you start to think faster, notice your own mistakes, correct them and learn. If you are a bit ashamed to speak with yourself, speak with your cat or dog or Smth 😄
I always do this with english and I'm pretty fluent with 17.. I always felt kinda crazy while talking to myself but now that I saw your comment I think thats.. normal? 😂
I don't understand how someone could give you a thumbs down 😕 maybe they're jealous. Speaking all those languages and your pretty too 😀 That's too much to handle for some. I think your talented, smart, gorgeous and beautiful ☺
Those are the jealous and selfish who do not want to see others' success. No encouragement from such - it's an index of who they are not who this young girl is.
Actually, I think you don't need to learn that much grammar. When little kids learn their mother tongue, they don't learn grammar, they just listen and notice patterns and reproduce them. Like most people, I think learning grammar is boring, so you should do it a little at the beginning, but you should not only do that. Only learning grammar at the beginning could discourage some people. I prefer to listen to a lot of stuff in my target language, and search for grammar explanation when I don't understand some rule. Most of the rules can be learned intuitively. The rest of the tips are great!
I agree with you, I didn't do tha either. Little kids obviusly observe and reproduce as I also said in the video, but the difference is they're surrounded by those languages patterns every day. But as an adult often times when you are learning a language you are not immediately fully immersed in that language. That's why I think it's good to get a little grammar base to understand and built upon language patterns that you will hear later. I actually never speny my whole time learning grammar when I studied a language, my method is more listening and reproducing as I also mentionned. +M Deroin
Adults cannot absorb language in the same way that kids do. But I agree that if you can go to a country and immerse yourself in that country and culture, even as an adult you would learn much more quickly.
These are the best tips to learn any language. I learned basic English grammar in school (Spanish is my fist language), and you're right grammar is the foundation to learn any language. I learned a lot just by reading and listening to music, audiobooks are also very helpful to improve listening and therefore, speaking skills. Now I want to learn French, so I'm going to go ahead and get myself a French grammar book. 🤓
Completamente de acuerdo, me pasó lo mismo, diría que llegué a nivel básico en la escuela y a partir de ahí adquirí vocabulario de series, música, libros, etc. Mucha suerte con tu francés :)
you should create your own online course, I would love to have you as a teacher, you really seem to understand the foundations of learning a new language. You really are right about music, it's not only one of the most complete tools to learning new vocabulary but it's also a perfect combination of learning and playing at the same time, plus the phrases stay in your mind because you start singing the songs all the time.
I've been in Germany for a year + , really had to learn German fast because I was also in school. Was really difficult, but I would say don't worry, take it easy , you'll be surprised how your brain will take in this words and gradually you find yourself understanding and speaking German. For German grammar I'll say take it easy . Honestly it's also difficult for some of my Germans friends. Viel Erfolg Leute.
Dionne Irwin It's going well. I am still learning the basics and struggle with the pronunciation of the words. But I'll get through it. Thanks for asking. 🙂
Jill Litwin, hello :-) Russian language is my native language, and I want to improve my English. So we can chat, and I hope to help you with your Russian learning. 😉👍
She's THE BEST language teacher I've come across. REALLY! I've studied several languages over the decades and I can "confirm" she's SO RIGHT. BRAVO! :D
Some tips that i think are very good are fx reading children's books. They tend to be somewhat repetitive and in a simple language. Also, watching movies. If you are learning Spanish, watch a Spanish movie with Spanish subtitles, that way you'll get it through your eyes and ears :) And one thing i also did, was I watched Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire in German, and I basically know it by heart in English, so that way, I already knew what they were saying. The same with books. I've read the first Harry Potter book multiple times, so I bought it in German, and instead of having a dictionary by my side, I just used the HP book in a language I am fluent in :)
Usually I like to learn the alphabet first then learn the basics and from there grammar. Currently learning Japanese. I know quite a bit of Romanian, but am not fluent.
you should definitely check out the language learning app Mirai Japanese! :) They teach you in lessons starting with the most basic sentence structures, and just builds from there, also introducing new vocabularies in each lesson. Highly recommended!
Watching movies in the language you're interested in --genius. I have a short attention span, but I've watched three videos yours already, back to back. Keep up the great work. You're amazing!
Thank you so much... these tips are extremely helpful. I’m currently learning German and I do practice a lot of the tips you mentioned, except.... the speaking lol. When I’m in Germany I speak it a little more even though I’m sometimes shy to do so, but as soon as I’m back home I almost speak no word in German unless I’m forced to do so by my loved ones in Germany. I do watch movies & use self study books. I will take your tips seriously and try to listen to more music in German as well as speaking it everyday.
J'adore tes conseilles!! Ils sont précis, intelligents et éclairé.... et je penses que tu as tout a fait raison quand à faire des erreurs pour apprendre. C'est exactement comme ça que notre cerveau fonctionne et avance, avec les erreurs... Bravo! merci pour cette video
Hoy por primera vez he visto tus videos, y me encantaron porque estoy aprendiendo Inglés y los tips que diste yo los aplico también!! Al igual que a vos las peliculas, series y canciones hicieron que aprendiera muchisimo! You're an inspiration =) Congrats from Argentina!!
i recognized a lot of accents as you were speaking and i have to say the blend is awesome. your tips are really helpful. i am currently studying Spanish and i hope it goes well for me.
Would you be able to do playlists for the music in the languages? For example, a playlist of the spanish music that helped you in your learning process? That would be so helpful!
Hello. Do you want to Learn or improve your Spanish?. I can help you and each other can practice. My native language is Spanish and I speak English and I'm learning português
Tusen takk, merci beaucoup, mil gracias, thanks so much. Tip #1 Listen to audio books whilie simultaneously reading along, then go back and read the text aloud to yourself
camila,zoé,café tacuva, enanitos verdes, jesse y joy are pretty good but then you have rancheras by vicente fernandez (chente) or pedro infante, bachata music by prince royce, aventura,romeo santos, are what i can think from the top of my head. ..just check them out and see what you like they are all music n spanish but different styles.
Elliphant I'll suggest telenovelas. The Mexican ones try to have the actors speak clearly. Also the acting could be over-dramatic at times too which also help with understanding the dialogue. There's usually always a couple playing on your local Telemundo if you're in the US.
Elliphant I recommend you Los Mesoneros, Viniloversus, Caramelos de Cianuro, Soda Estéreo, Americania, La Vida Boheme and there are a lot more. You could watch Las Chicas del Cable, it's a TV show that recently came out!
Jane the virgin, Frida. Que culpa tiene el niño, no se aceptan devoluciones (those are movies and a tv show) and about music I really like listening to Morat, Jesse y Joy, Camila, caifanes, reik (you can find a lot of playlist with songs in Spanish on Spotify!)
At 11:20 into the video, you said that people need to speak and learn from mistakes. This is what I tell my students. Like you said, watching (DVD) movies with subtitles will help along with learning the grammar. I hadn't thought of listening music. Thank you for your encouraging and informative videos.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm brazilian and I'm trying to learn korean by myself (so hard omg). Boa sorte estudando português, você vai conseguir! 💙
God must have put this video in my feed for a reason because I've been trying to learn Spanish for 30 years and I fall short all the time. I just signed up for conversational Spanish lessons and I'm determined to achieve fluency. Thank you for the tip.
My english teacher recomended to wach children's shows with subtitles since they usually use more basic words and they speak slowly....and so i did, and I learned!!. Also what you said....listening to music is key!!
These are great tips! I've looked up a lot of TH-cam videos on how to learn languages and your tips are similar to what others have said. Learn the grammar, speak it whenever you can, listen to music, watch TV or films with subtitles, and another thing I've heard is to listen to podcasts. So last month I went on a trip to France and I absolutely fell in love with it! Two weeks ago I decided to start learning so I'm going to try learning it on my own. For French the podcasts "coffee break French" and "news in slow french" have been useful. Basically what I've found others say is the key to learning is to substitute the language you are trying to learn into things you would already do. If you listen to music on your commute, change it to French music. If you spend time watching TV at home, change your language to French with subtitles. If you like to watch TH-cam, start listening to French TH-camrs. The only problem is I don't know who I can speak French with. Any tips on how to find others to speak with? And anyone here know of a good French grammar book? I also do 15 minutes a day of Duolingo
Patricia Chloé Thank you for trying to learn portuguese 😍 I am portuguese and if you want to listen to a portuguese song you should listen to "Amar pelos dois" by Salvador Sobral. This is the song that won Eurovision 2017.I'm not recommending this song because we won the competition but because the song is beautiful and it really shows what Portugal is made of:love,simplicity,talent,passion and true raw emotions. ☺
Patricia Chloé You should probably focus on just one language Im not saying its impossible but it does make it harder and you could possibly mix words up
Iconic GamerNaz Lol! It's not that am learning Portuguese from scratch. First of all, I learn languages very easily, especially roman languages because I speak french already and I have a very strong vocabulary/knowledge in Latin as well, so I even though I have never learned Italian or Spanish, I can understand at least 50% of the conversation in both languages. I have been living in a Portuguese speaking household from time to time so I basically understand everything, it's just want to learn the grammar & how to talk so I can go and visit my motherland. Japanese is what I am actually really learning right now. I hope now everyone has a better understanding why I am learning these 2 languages at the same time.
I definitely recommend the watching movies thing - it helped me a lot with French - I think when you're starting out maybe try a movie you know well so you'll understand what's going on a bit more and that'll make you feel more comfortable and confident
Hey! Ich stimme deinen Punkten voll und ganz zu! Schon damals in der Schule (als ich 12 gewesen bin - jetzt bin ich 21) habe ich mir immer Songtexte abgeschrieben und auf deutsch übersetzte um zu sehen was sie heißen und mir Eselsbrücken gemacht. Zum Beispiel wenn wir in englisch grade grammar hatten habe ich mir die verschiedenen Formen durch Songtexte bzw Lines gemerkt. Beispielsweise die "ing-Form" durch pink - family Portrait die line "mama please stop crying". Ich weiß nicht ob das grade verständlich klingt aber für mich war und ist es das. :D Auch Filme auf der Sprache gucken oder Serien! - du hast es echt auf den Punkt gebracht! So habe ich auch englisch und niederländisch mit Spaß an der sache gelernt. Momentan lerne ich Italienisch und wende genau das an, was du auch im Video erwähnt hast. :) also ich als Sprach-Liebhaberin kann sagen, dass wenn man eine Sprache lernen möchte und deine Tipps berücksichtigt - auf jeden Fall Erfolge erzielt werden. :)
Eu sou brasileira, aprendi inglês e ainda estou melhorando ele. Decidi que quero viajar para o Canadá e quero aprender francês também... estou assistindo suas dicas e CARAAA VOCÊ MANDA MUITO BEM, MEUS PARABÉNS❤❤❤
1-3 hours a day for anything is enough to learn, just be consistent and the results are sure to come. Also surrond yourself with ppl who want to learn or already know what you want to learn
My 6 year old nephew LOVES language. He has gained family from everywhere! We live in California so he has tetes and uncles and nanas who speak Spanish, Tagalog, English, etc. He is starting first grade in a school with an English/Spanish dual immersion program. I am an ESL teacher for Chinese children and I am strongly considering enrolling him in a Mandarin online tutoring program as well. This is awesome! I believe he will grow up to be fluent in about 6 different languages.
This video was so inspiring. I've been wanting to dust off my rusty Spanish lately. I was told that my Spanish was good so often when I was learning, that I basically stopped speaking out of fear of making a mistake. I'm gonna let go of the fear and make many mistakes. 😊
Hi, I'm Nisa...I am a native English speaker and have been learning Spanish...just recently started feeling comfortable speaking Spanish out loud with people. I can read and understand it pretty well though!
I watch your videos to listening the english pronunciation and then I feel safe to pronounce by myself! Thank you, I love this kind of videos.. Greetings from Argentina! ♡
This has totally inspired me to kick up my game with Spanish. I actually loved it at university, but when I stopped taking Spanish classes, I lost most of what I learned. Now I use Duolingo, which is good, but not stimulating in the right ways. So thank you :D
My problem is learning.. I notice I can understand but I can't speak... when I hear someone talk I can understand most of what they say but can't remember any words when I want to speak... also love this video because I didn't know if I should buy this television channel that only shows shows in the language I want to learn. But after watching this I will definitely buy the app
thats me but with my country's mother tongue. whenever people speak it i know what they're saying but i can't reply in the language. the thing is, my mother said i spoke it fluently when i was really young but now i dont remember how. :/
aveatquevale yeah I wonder why we have this issue... it's like I can't form the sentence in my head or convert my English to the language but can convert the language to English... so weird ugh.. guess I'll keep trying. What's language can you speak?
Wow, I am spanish and I have understood all this video, you pronnounce very well, I understand you better than a native like Adele, stand by this way because you are pretty amazing and talented
Thank you so much for your videos! I'm French, I learn Japanese and Russian, tes conseils et ton parcours me motivent encore plus! I'm now certain I am able to learn these languages, even if they can be difficult.
these tips seem like they'll help alot! I'm planning on teaching myself to speak French, maybe you could do a video about like basic grammar, or maybe even a series of learning french. Obviously you don't have to, just a thought I had. :)
Icanhavethemall just practice a lot, it's usually only like that in the beginning, once you get used to French, you won't really have that problem anymore
hey, I know this problem... Since I am a visual learner and always have to see how the word looks instead of hearing, I like to work with color. So for spanish for example, the text book was red and so this language for me is "red". I also try to have a red notebook or write vocabulary in red. Then, when I need spanish and other languages come to my mind, I try to think of red to trigger the right parts of my memory. Don't know if this makes sense to you? If you are more an auditory learner, you might combine each language with a different tone, so speaking higher or lower, or try listening to more males or females, and when you think of the french word, remember the greek tone and your brain will hopefully find the greek word for the french one^^ If you notice specific words that you mix up, learn them together/contrast them with each other. As we humans learn a lot from mistakes, try analyzing which mistakes/mix-ups you make and correct yourself to help your brain remember :)
* I apologize in advance for the long comment* I have been trying to just learn Spanish for a while and I can not stress enough how important the speaking bit is! I have spent thousands of dollars and many semesters of my time at university and still have not gotten to where I consider myself fluent. I recently started working at a Cuban restaurant and I have a coworker who is a bit more social than I am who has never taken a Spanish class. She has been working there for around the same amount of time as I have and her Spanish has advanced much much much faster than mine to the point that she is able to speak to and understand our Spanish speaking clients and coworkers a little better than I. So speaking is DEFINITELY an important aspect to improving your skills in your target language. I also have a few other tips I think might be useful! I majored in psychology at my university and have also been very interested in the psychology of multilingualism and learning a second or multiple language. I even wrote my senior seminar paper over this topic. From what I have learned through my research for that paper was that there are a few things to keep in mind when learning a new language. In addition to the advice she has given, consistency is also key to improving a language. Watching a movie occasionally or looking at a text book every so often will not help. It’s best to try and include the target language in your everyday life or as often as you can like maybe turning your social media into your target language or finding things online to read in Spanish. Another tip is when practicing your target language make it relatable to you and things that are important to you. For example talk or write about your favorite things, your family, or your significant other or things that make you emotional (whether it’s happy or Sad) because you can remember certain things better that are connected to some sort of strong emotion. You could also see if your favorite tv shows have the option to switch it to your target language. If your are interested in it then your will pay or attention to it and will most likely retain more! I have some other tips for various other factors in learning a language but this comment is too long as it is. Also I would like to say that these tips might not work out for everyone they are just what I realized helped me in my language journey.
Thanks. Interestingly, it was when I started reading your comment that I realized I had an eye problem. The write-up got blurred. May be your essay was a good test for my eye. I've since seen an eye specialist and now using lenses so I am fine now.😊 In my case, my company paid $3500 (100 hours) for me to be taught french in my office but after 40 hours, it was clear to me I needed to take my destiny into my own hands else the company will be disappointed. I've been making steady progress since. Self-motivation and practicing whatever you learn is indeed key. My next step will be to get permission from my wife and get a french girlfriend. lol
When watching telenovelas in the beginning, did it all run together? I watch them but can only make out bits and pieces and I wonder if I need to focus on one regions dialect or just try to learn to listen to everyone at once.
It's normal at the beginning, if you continue to watch it every week/day it will get better naturally . You can incorporate the language more into your everyday life, change your phone language for example
which language are you learning? I am currently using edX to learn italian, the videos have transcripts and translations, and you can speed up or slow down the videos, they also have podcasts. Not sure if there's also french, but I've seen they also have courses in portuguese
For me I really enjoy watching TH-cam videos of many different kinds so I can broaden my vocabulary. Another thing I really liked out of what you said was: Not being affraid of going out and talking to natives. In fact this was something I still do up to now. As soon as I see an opportunity I try to engage on a conversation. whether it be Spanish, English, even French which I'm not super trained at... Well, I mean, talking to people is also a way to learn. Congrats! I love your channel! I will be sharing with friends.
+RickboyH that's true sometimes but often there is more than one local language in some countries so a language like French or English is useful because you can communicate with anyone, no matter their local language.
+RickyboyH That wouldn't be as useful as the chances of you remaining in that area all the time is very slim. If you were to learn French in Senegal for example, it would be much more useful and is spoken in many other countries.
I love your videos! To this day I have learned and currently speak: Spanish (first/native language), English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Norwegian, and a little bit of Arabic. Culture and languages are amazing and beautiful all around the world! :)
Great video! Admiro muito o teu interesse e amor por aprender línguas😄. I'm also very interested in languages. Although I only speak portuguese (my native language) and english, I am starting to learn mandarin. From one of your videos, I saw that you also speak chinese so I'd like to know if you suggest any grammar textbook for beginners. Obrigada por partilhares os teus conselhos, vão de certo ajudar-me bastante😉.
Eres estupenda!!! Me gusta como te enfocas en hacerle entender a la gente que pueden aprender fácilmente cualquier idioma. Gracias por eso. TH-cam necesita mas gente como tu!!!
Luna Showalter if you like rap, you should listen to Nekfeu, he has a great vocabulary even if he's sometimes a little vulgar, if you listen to pop or something like that, listen to Vianney, his songs are pretty good
I am so stunned by your capability😃😄. I am currently learning Ukrainian language and I keep telling my self it's supper hard. after watching a few videos of you now I am positive and so encouraged to learn...thanks 👌👌👍👍
Music keepmy motivation up. The more I learn Spanish the more I understand reggaeton tunes which keeps me excited. Super video and thank you. I too know quite a few languages but Spanish is my current language
Yes you've lost some of your Ghana accent . Good video . I'm familiar with several languages Russian , German and Spanish . I work with Mexican's all day . Sometimes it's difficult combining languages and understanding but they help me get their lingo .
My offer extends to you as well Clarke :) and it wasn't half bad, I understood what you meant. If I may, it's on the verbs you've gotten it a bit off, the right sentence would be "Si necesitas alguien que te enseñe inglés, puedo ayudarte si me ayudas con mi español"
Glad to hear someone emphasizing grammar and book learning. It's like every expert out there thinks it's beneath them to mention it. A lot of us would love to learn several languages but unless we use it, just not worth the time and effort. Fortunately, the internet offers new opportunities.
That's hard because many germans only listen to english/international music. But there are still many popular artists Idk if you like rap music but I recommend sierra kidd, raf camora, ufo361.. some other musicians of other genres are Rammstein, Mark Forster, Silbermond, Xavier Naidoo, Tim Bendzko, Nena.
A lot of popular films from hollywood are in german. Of course it's not as authentic as with the original english voices but it might help. Also Harry Potter might help because the german voice actors aren't too bad in my opinion x)
Great tips!! I am learning French, and just a tip and you can do this with any language. When you watch any movie, especially Hollywood ones in English, you can download subtitles in whatever language you wish, just Google the ".SRT" file and then import it into your video player on your PC. For example you can get French subtitles playing whilst watching Avengers, and now for every English sentence uttered, you get the French equivalent written on screen!
I'm currently learning polish because my boyfriend is from there and I'm so motivated to be fluent but it's supposed to be one of the hardest languages! anyone recommend any good polish tv shows or singers?
Julia dziękuję bardzo dziewczyna! Tak, i already knew a lot of vocabulary because I have do nich motivation to learn but only recently I've just made a Netflix account so I can watch cartoons with polish dub it's been amazing! watching currently watching magiczny autobus And Świnka pęppa hahaha its realny helping though! dziękuję za the artists i will listen to Them:D skąd jesteś z Polska kochana?

girl you could make some good money tutoring people and it would also keep all your languages fresh
I did tutor when I was in Uni. But I keep my languages fresh by speaking with friends. I'm lucky to have friends from all over :)
girl you better make that coin. i agree with @dominique007
My tip is to speak with your own self (when you are home alone fe) that's how I learned English (I'm Russian). When you speak even with yourself, you really get used to the language you learn like you start to think faster, notice your own mistakes, correct them and learn.

I always do this with english and I'm pretty fluent with 17.. I always felt kinda crazy while talking to myself but now that I saw your comment I think thats.. normal? 😂
I mean the age sksksk
Me too, that’s how I got my Spanish to be fluent after two years of studying at highschool
ı really agree with you! ı learn English with this method. And ı will learn German and Spanish! Wish me luck !!
@la mamie. I was talking back to the tv a lot, reading a lot n checking the dictionary.
I don't understand how someone could give you a thumbs down 😕
maybe they're jealous. Speaking all those languages and your pretty too 😀 That's too much to handle for some. I think your talented, smart, gorgeous and beautiful ☺
they probably have better tips how to learn a new language (but I doubt that they know 8 languages)
Josephina Simwa true
Those are the jealous and selfish who do not want to see others' success. No encouragement from such - it's an index of who they are not who this young girl is.
I think sometimes people accidentally press the thumbs down instead of thumbs up, especially if they are on their phone.
And her sweater is soo cute🐮
Actually, I think you don't need to learn that much grammar. When little kids learn their mother tongue, they don't learn grammar, they just listen and notice patterns and reproduce them. Like most people, I think learning grammar is boring, so you should do it a little at the beginning, but you should not only do that. Only learning grammar at the beginning could discourage some people. I prefer to listen to a lot of stuff in my target language, and search for grammar explanation when I don't understand some rule. Most of the rules can be learned intuitively.
The rest of the tips are great!
I agree with you, I didn't do tha either. Little kids obviusly observe and reproduce as I also said in the video, but the difference is they're surrounded by those languages patterns every day.

May I suggest something to make your channel grow. I think you should show more about your life in and around Paris
These are the best tips to learn any language. I learned basic English grammar in school (Spanish is my fist language), and you're right grammar is the foundation to learn any language. I learned a lot just by reading and listening to music, audiobooks are also very helpful to improve listening and therefore, speaking skills.

Completamente de acuerdo, me pasó lo mismo, diría que llegué a nivel básico en la escuela y a partir de ahí adquirí vocabulario de series, música, libros, etc. Mucha suerte con tu francés :)
Do it! Bonne chance!
Angela Soto Same! I recommend you a lot Alter Ego A1!!!
yes grammar is important! I want to learn how to form a grammatically correct sentence in Mandarin but my teacher barely taught grammar
+Hvnnvhc Check out the channel named "Yi Zhao" on TH-cam. You'll learn grammar in a very fun way :)
you should create your own online course, I would love to have you as a teacher, you really seem to understand the foundations of learning a new language. You really are right about music, it's not only one of the most complete tools to learning new vocabulary but it's also a perfect combination of learning and playing at the same time, plus the phrases stay in your mind because you start singing the songs all the time.
That is a great idea, hope she does it!
I second this. I would definitely love her as a teacher
True.
I totally agree with you. And also when I listen to the music, I feel myself so happy and relax
I've been in Germany for a year + , really had to learn German fast because I was also in school. Was really difficult, but I would say don't worry, take it easy , you'll be surprised how your brain will take in this words and gradually you find yourself understanding and speaking German. For German grammar I'll say take it easy . Honestly it's also difficult for some of my Germans friends. Viel Erfolg Leute.
Prima 😊😊😊
Wait what 😆 this was posted 4 years ago
I am currently learning Russian and your channel has inspired me to not give up! Thank you
Dionne Irwin It's going well. I am still learning the basics and struggle with the pronunciation of the words. But I'll get through it. Thanks for asking. 🙂
Русский язык не такой сложный, желаю вам удачи в изучении :)
Сложный но красивы.

Do you think you could do videos in French German or Spanish teaching the language. By the way ilysm ❤ your so cool !
Lolees horse I agree

Estou adorando seus vídeos. Parabéns!!!!!!
Usually I like to learn the alphabet first then learn the basics and from there grammar. Currently learning Japanese. I know quite a bit of Romanian, but am not fluent.
Melody Hope I am Romanian and I try to learn Japanese :))
Melody Hope yeah I also do that and also learning Japanese :)
you should definitely check out the language learning app Mirai Japanese! :) They teach you in lessons starting with the most basic sentence structures, and just builds from there, also introducing new vocabularies in each lesson. Highly recommended!
Melody Hope I agree 👍 I find easier too tbh
My eyes water in awe at such beautiful excellence.
Watching movies in the language you're interested in --genius. I have a short attention span, but I've watched three videos yours already, back to back. Keep up the great work. You're amazing!
Thank you so much... these tips are extremely helpful. I’m currently learning German and I do practice a lot of the tips you mentioned, except.... the speaking lol. When I’m in Germany I speak it a little more even though I’m sometimes shy to do so, but as soon as I’m back home I almost speak no word in German unless I’m forced to do so by my loved ones in Germany. I do watch movies & use self study books. I will take your tips seriously and try to listen to more music in German as well as speaking it everyday.
J'adore tes conseilles!! Ils sont précis, intelligents et éclairé.... et je penses que tu as tout a fait raison quand à faire des erreurs pour apprendre. C'est exactement comme ça que notre cerveau fonctionne et avance, avec les erreurs... Bravo! merci pour cette video
Hoy por primera vez he visto tus videos, y me encantaron porque estoy aprendiendo Inglés y los tips que diste yo los aplico también!! Al igual que a vos las peliculas, series y canciones hicieron que aprendiera muchisimo! You're an inspiration =) Congrats from Argentina!!
A polyglot, and an autodidact. Impressive and inspiring. Thank you. (Danke, merci, gracci, gracias, xiexie, obrigada)
i recognized a lot of accents as you were speaking and i have to say the blend is awesome. your tips are really helpful. i am currently studying Spanish and i hope it goes well for me.
That is exactly how a Russian coworker of mine said that's how she learned Spanish on her own. She speaks fluently and very well. Good tips!
please show us how your learning language routine is.
I had learned a lot of French vocabulary through friends , music and tv... Now I am taking classes for the grammar.... GRAMMAR is everything...
Would you be able to do playlists for the music in the languages? For example, a playlist of the spanish music that helped you in your learning process? That would be so helpful!
Ingrid lou yes yes plz
Hello. Do you want to Learn or improve your Spanish?. I can help you and each other can practice. My native language is Spanish and I speak English and I'm learning português
Tusen takk, merci beaucoup, mil gracias, thanks so much. Tip #1 Listen to audio books whilie simultaneously reading along, then go back and read the text aloud to yourself
can you create a playlist or give movie suggestions for spanish ? :)
camila,zoé,café tacuva, enanitos verdes, jesse y joy are pretty good but then you have rancheras by vicente fernandez (chente) or pedro infante, bachata music by prince royce, aventura,romeo santos, are what i can think from the top of my head. ..just check them out and see what you like they are all music n spanish but different styles.
Elliphant I'll suggest telenovelas. The Mexican ones try to have the actors speak clearly. Also the acting could be over-dramatic at times too which also help with understanding the dialogue. There's usually always a couple playing on your local Telemundo if you're in the US.
Elliphant I recommend you Los Mesoneros, Viniloversus, Caramelos de Cianuro, Soda Estéreo, Americania, La Vida Boheme and there are a lot more. You could watch Las Chicas del Cable, it's a TV show that recently came out!
Elliphant @TheUrbanEve and for every language you speak, basically, 😅 Please.
Jane the virgin, Frida. Que culpa tiene el niño, no se aceptan devoluciones (those are movies and a tv show) and about music I really like listening to Morat, Jesse y Joy, Camila, caifanes, reik (you can find a lot of playlist with songs in Spanish on Spotify!)
At 11:20 into the video, you said that people need to speak and learn from mistakes. This is what I tell my students. Like you said, watching (DVD) movies with subtitles will help along with learning the grammar. I hadn't thought of listening music. Thank you for your encouraging and informative videos.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm brazilian and I'm trying to learn korean by myself (so hard omg).
Boa sorte estudando português, você vai conseguir! 💙
I love Portuguse
You're my biggest motivation I still can't believe that someone's really able to learn more than 2 languages goals
Follow me on Instagram @msurbaneve on my travel adventures and see how I keep my languages fresh. This time I’m learning Arabic in Morocco!💚
TheUrbanEve welcome to Morocco 💕
Yeols__Bear thank you!
Great tips, I want to learn French...I already know some words. However, I'll apply your tips.
bienvenue au maroc
Awesome!! Share your Arabic learning tips as well plz..
God must have put this video in my feed for a reason because I've been trying to learn Spanish for 30 years and I fall short all the time. I just signed up for conversational Spanish lessons and I'm determined to achieve fluency. Thank you for the tip.
My english teacher recomended to wach children's shows with subtitles since they usually use more basic words and they speak slowly....and so i did, and I learned!!. Also what you said....listening to music is key!!
Thanks so much dear, I am Learning Deutsch for 5 months now but I am really enjoying it.
could you pls make videos about learning Spanish 💖💖
Audrey Collins Hi, I am native in spanish and I want to practice with native people in english.
do you have twitter? 😊
Yes, kellyberkey85 and Instagram too :)
I just followed you on twitter check it out haha
I'm also looking for a friend to practice English with , I can help you with Spanish , that's my first language. My email is meillanes7@gmail.com
These are great tips! I've looked up a lot of TH-cam videos on how to learn languages and your tips are similar to what others have said. Learn the grammar, speak it whenever you can, listen to music, watch TV or films with subtitles, and another thing I've heard is to listen to podcasts. So last month I went on a trip to France and I absolutely fell in love with it! Two weeks ago I decided to start learning so I'm going to try learning it on my own.
For French the podcasts "coffee break French" and "news in slow french" have been useful.
Basically what I've found others say is the key to learning is to substitute the language you are trying to learn into things you would already do. If you listen to music on your commute, change it to French music. If you spend time watching TV at home, change your language to French with subtitles. If you like to watch TH-cam, start listening to French TH-camrs.
The only problem is I don't know who I can speak French with. Any tips on how to find others to speak with?
And anyone here know of a good French grammar book?
I also do 15 minutes a day of Duolingo
Thank you for sharing those awesome tips 🙌🏽 I am in the process of learning portuguese and japanese!
Patricia Chloé Thank you for trying to learn portuguese 😍 I am portuguese and if you want to listen to a portuguese song you should listen to "Amar pelos dois" by Salvador Sobral. This is the song that won Eurovision 2017.I'm not recommending this song because we won the competition but because the song is beautiful and it really shows what Portugal is made of:love,simplicity,talent,passion and true raw emotions. ☺
awww thank you very much! I will listen to it 💕
Patricia Chloé You should probably focus on just one language
Im not saying its impossible but it does make it harder and you could possibly mix words up
Good luck with learning Japanese & Portuguese tho
Iconic GamerNaz Lol! It's not that am learning Portuguese from scratch. First of all, I learn languages very easily, especially roman languages because I speak french already and I have a very strong vocabulary/knowledge in Latin as well, so I even though I have never learned Italian or Spanish, I can understand at least 50% of the conversation in both languages. I have been living in a Portuguese speaking household from time to time so I basically understand everything, it's just want to learn the grammar & how to talk so I can go and visit my motherland. Japanese is what I am actually really learning right now. I hope now everyone has a better understanding why I am learning these 2 languages at the same time.
Ola! Sou brasileira mas moro nos EUA ha alguns meses e estou aprendendo ingles, você deu dicas maravilhosas! Thanks!
I definitely recommend the watching movies thing - it helped me a lot with French - I think when you're starting out maybe try a movie you know well so you'll understand what's going on a bit more and that'll make you feel more comfortable and confident
Giiiirl I find French grammar so difficult and I'm French ! Love your videos x
Hey! Ich stimme deinen Punkten voll und ganz zu! Schon damals in der Schule (als ich 12 gewesen bin - jetzt bin ich 21) habe ich mir immer Songtexte abgeschrieben und auf deutsch übersetzte um zu sehen was sie heißen und mir Eselsbrücken gemacht. Zum Beispiel wenn wir in englisch grade grammar hatten habe ich mir die verschiedenen Formen durch Songtexte bzw Lines gemerkt. Beispielsweise die "ing-Form" durch pink - family Portrait die line "mama please stop crying". Ich weiß nicht ob das grade verständlich klingt aber für mich war und ist es das. :D Auch Filme auf der Sprache gucken oder Serien! - du hast es echt auf den Punkt gebracht! So habe ich auch englisch und niederländisch mit Spaß an der sache gelernt. Momentan lerne ich Italienisch und wende genau das an, was du auch im Video erwähnt hast. :) also ich als Sprach-Liebhaberin kann sagen, dass wenn man eine Sprache lernen möchte und deine Tipps berücksichtigt - auf jeden Fall Erfolge erzielt werden. :)
Janneke de Ganz genau! Find ich super, dass du das auch so mit den Songtexten machst! 😃👌
Eu sou brasileira, aprendi inglês e ainda estou melhorando ele. Decidi que quero viajar para o Canadá e quero aprender francês também... estou assistindo suas dicas e CARAAA VOCÊ MANDA MUITO BEM, MEUS PARABÉNS❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this video. How many hours a day did you study grammar?
1-3 hours a day for anything is enough to learn, just be consistent and the results are sure to come. Also surrond yourself with ppl who want to learn or already know what you want to learn
My 6 year old nephew LOVES language. He has gained family from everywhere! We live in California so he has tetes and uncles and nanas who speak Spanish, Tagalog, English, etc. He is starting first grade in a school with an English/Spanish dual immersion program. I am an ESL teacher for Chinese children and I am strongly considering enrolling him in a Mandarin online tutoring program as well. This is awesome! I believe he will grow up to be fluent in about 6 different languages.
This video was so inspiring. I've been wanting to dust off my rusty Spanish lately. I was told that my Spanish was good so often when I was learning, that I basically stopped speaking out of fear of making a mistake. I'm gonna let go of the fear and make many mistakes. 😊
Hi, I'm Nisa...I am a native English speaker and have been learning Spanish...just recently started feeling comfortable speaking Spanish out loud with people. I can read and understand it pretty well though!
I watch your videos to listening the english pronunciation and then I feel safe to pronounce by myself! Thank you, I love this kind of videos.. Greetings from Argentina! ♡
This has totally inspired me to kick up my game with Spanish. I actually loved it at university, but when I stopped taking Spanish classes, I lost most of what I learned. Now I use Duolingo, which is good, but not stimulating in the right ways. So thank you :D
My problem is learning.. I notice I can understand but I can't speak... when I hear someone talk I can understand most of what they say but can't remember any words when I want to speak... also love this video because I didn't know if I should buy this television channel that only shows shows in the language I want to learn. But after watching this I will definitely buy the app
thats me but with my country's mother tongue. whenever people speak it i know what they're saying but i can't reply in the language. the thing is, my mother said i spoke it fluently when i was really young but now i dont remember how. :/
aveatquevale yeah I wonder why we have this issue... it's like I can't form the sentence in my head or convert my English to the language but can convert the language to English... so weird ugh.. guess I'll keep trying. What's language can you speak?
ladydede88 what app is it?
N'Yasha McAfee Tandem is the app I use and I also you the website conversation exchange dot com
ladydede88 practice reading something then commenting in the language it helps flow your convo
Wow, I am spanish and I have understood all this video, you pronnounce very well, I understand you better than a native like Adele, stand by this way because you are pretty amazing and talented
how long did it take you to learn and speak fluently?
Depends on how much time and effort you put in chica!👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you so much for your videos! I'm French, I learn Japanese and Russian, tes conseils et ton parcours me motivent encore plus! I'm now certain I am able to learn these languages, even if they can be difficult.
these tips seem like they'll help alot! I'm planning on teaching myself to speak French, maybe you could do a video about like basic grammar, or maybe even a series of learning french. Obviously you don't have to, just a thought I had. :)
where are you from? if you're an english native thats cool. I speak french as a native. maybe we can help eachother
You are such inspiration! I love language. A way to connect with people all around the world, more career paths!
how do you not get confused with so many languages? when I try to speak french I can only remember greek words
Icanhavethemall Im starting to learn greek, any tips?
Icanhavethemall just practice a lot, it's usually only like that in the beginning, once you get used to French, you won't really have that problem anymore
Icanhavethemall I have this problem too. I speak Spanish and I'm trying to learn Portuguese but since they are so similar they start to get mixed up.
hey, I know this problem... Since I am a visual learner and always have to see how the word looks instead of hearing, I like to work with color. So for spanish for example, the text book was red and so this language for me is "red". I also try to have a red notebook or write vocabulary in red. Then, when I need spanish and other languages come to my mind, I try to think of red to trigger the right parts of my memory. Don't know if this makes sense to you? If you are more an auditory learner, you might combine each language with a different tone, so speaking higher or lower, or try listening to more males or females, and when you think of the french word, remember the greek tone and your brain will hopefully find the greek word for the french one^^ If you notice specific words that you mix up, learn them together/contrast them with each other. As we humans learn a lot from mistakes, try analyzing which mistakes/mix-ups you make and correct yourself to help your brain remember :)
😂😂😂
* I apologize in advance for the long comment*
I have been trying to just learn Spanish for a while and I can not stress enough how important the speaking bit is! I have spent thousands of dollars and many semesters of my time at university and still have not gotten to where I consider myself fluent. I recently started working at a Cuban restaurant and I have a coworker who is a bit more social than I am who has never taken a Spanish class. She has been working there for around the same amount of time as I have and her Spanish has advanced much much much faster than mine to the point that she is able to speak to and understand our Spanish speaking clients and coworkers a little better than I. So speaking is DEFINITELY an important aspect to improving your skills in your target language. I also have a few other tips I think might be useful! I majored in psychology at my university and have also been very interested in the psychology of multilingualism and learning a second or multiple language. I even wrote my senior seminar paper over this topic. From what I have learned through my research for that paper was that there are a few things to keep in mind when learning a new language. In addition to the advice she has given, consistency is also key to improving a language. Watching a movie occasionally or looking at a text book every so often will not help. It’s best to try and include the target language in your everyday life or as often as you can like maybe turning your social media into your target language or finding things online to read in Spanish. Another tip is when practicing your target language make it relatable to you and things that are important to you. For example talk or write about your favorite things, your family, or your significant other or things that make you emotional (whether it’s happy or Sad) because you can remember certain things better that are connected to some sort of strong emotion. You could also see if your favorite tv shows have the option to switch it to your target language. If your are interested in it then your will pay or attention to it and will most likely retain more! I have some other tips for various other factors in learning a language but this comment is too long as it is. Also I would like to say that these tips might not work out for everyone they are just what I realized helped me in my language journey.
Thanks. Interestingly, it was when I started reading your comment that I realized I had an eye problem. The write-up got blurred. May be your essay was a good test for my eye. I've since seen an eye specialist and now using lenses so I am fine now.😊 In my case, my company paid $3500 (100 hours) for me to be taught french in my office but after 40 hours, it was clear to me I needed to take my destiny into my own hands else the company will be disappointed. I've been making steady progress since. Self-motivation and practicing whatever you learn is indeed key. My next step will be to get permission from my wife and get a french girlfriend. lol
When watching telenovelas in the beginning, did it all run together? I watch them but can only make out bits and pieces and I wonder if I need to focus on one regions dialect or just try to learn to listen to everyone at once.
Even the subtitles are too fast sometimes.
It's best to find a Skype friend. Just post that you'd like to talk to a native of the language you want to learn on TH-cam. I did it.
It's normal at the beginning, if you continue to watch it every week/day it will get better naturally . You can incorporate the language more into your everyday life, change your phone language for example
which language are you learning? I am currently using edX to learn italian, the videos have transcripts and translations, and you can speed up or slow down the videos, they also have podcasts. Not sure if there's also french, but I've seen they also have courses in portuguese
Also, if by any chance you are learning spanish, I can help you out, it is my native tongue
So thorough and clear, I wish all teachers where like you. Bless you.
Gleich mal Notizen gemacht 😅 Ich versuche schon seit Jahren portugiesisch zu lernen und englisch spreche ich leider auch nicht perfekt 😩
Congrats! I'm brazilian and your portuguese is awesome!
absolutely amazing very helpful
For me I really enjoy watching TH-cam videos of many different kinds so I can broaden my vocabulary. Another thing I really liked out of what you said was: Not being affraid of going out and talking to natives. In fact this was something I still do up to now. As soon as I see an opportunity I try to engage on a conversation. whether it be Spanish, English, even French which I'm not super trained at... Well, I mean, talking to people is also a way to learn.
Congrats! I love your channel! I will be sharing with friends.
This was so helpful!!!! I am moving to Senegal so I need to get my French. I think tip 2 will really help!!!
Bonjour!
I'm French and this language is kind of hard to get! Hope you get through!
Learn the local language and not the colonial one, trust me, everything will be easier.
+RickboyH that's true sometimes but often there is more than one local language in some countries so a language like French or English is useful because you can communicate with anyone, no matter their local language.
So just learn the native language of the region you're staying in then. Problem solved.
+RickyboyH That wouldn't be as useful as the chances of you remaining in that area all the time is very slim. If you were to learn French in Senegal for example, it would be much more useful and is spoken in many other countries.
I love your videos! To this day I have learned and currently speak: Spanish (first/native language), English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Norwegian, and a little bit of Arabic. Culture and languages are amazing and beautiful all around the world! :)
Great video! Admiro muito o teu interesse e amor por aprender línguas😄. I'm also very interested in languages. Although I only speak portuguese (my native language) and english, I am starting to learn mandarin. From one of your videos, I saw that you also speak chinese so I'd like to know if you suggest any grammar textbook for beginners. Obrigada por partilhares os teus conselhos, vão de certo ajudar-me bastante😉.
Eres estupenda!!! Me gusta como te enfocas en hacerle entender a la gente que pueden aprender fácilmente cualquier idioma. Gracias por eso. TH-cam necesita mas gente como tu!!!
This is with my Twi (Ghana) I understand perfectly but speaking it is another matter 😂
I think I finally decided to learn all the languages I want because of you. You're such an inspiration, thank you thank you!
Do you have any recommendations of French artists to listen to?
SHY'M / tal / maitre gims
Luna Showalter Stromae!
Luna Showalter if you like rap, you should listen to Nekfeu, he has a great vocabulary even if he's sometimes a little vulgar, if you listen to pop or something like that, listen to Vianney, his songs are pretty good
Luna Showalter tartofraises is a French nail artist youtuber, I like listening to her!
Stromae and Indila are very popular
Im so happy in watch your videos! Portuguese is my mother language and English is the second. Now I'm trying to learn Italian by myself.
I put my default phone language in Spanish so I can learn a lot more difficult words that are used in my social media apps and such :p
diaxbla that's actually a very good idea, I'm going to do that now 😅 Thankyou
Just did the same thing :)
I am so stunned by your capability😃😄. I am currently learning Ukrainian language and I keep telling my self it's supper hard. after watching a few videos of you now I am positive and so encouraged to learn...thanks 👌👌👍👍
Which books did you buy for Portuguese - or are there any particular ones you know of that you'd recommend? x
Music keepmy motivation up. The more I learn Spanish the more I understand reggaeton tunes which keeps me excited. Super video and thank you. I too know quite a few languages but Spanish is my current language
Does anybody have any reccomendations for learning dutch.
bedankt!
katiecat thank you so much! that is really helpful - thank you for taking the time to do that!
WOWWWWWW!!!! IMPRESSIVE!! 👍 I'm so inspired to learn Italiano as my 3rd language...can't wait!! ✌
hey i want to start learning french but i do not know anyone that speaks french, so how can improve my speaking skills ?
You can just SEE how passionate she is for learning languages. nǐ jìao tīancī 😱😱I LOVE bisou bisou😘😘
Yes you've lost some of your Ghana accent . Good video . I'm familiar with several languages Russian , German and Spanish . I work with Mexican's all day . Sometimes it's difficult combining languages and understanding but they help me get their lingo .
doublejack Haroldlüke it's a German accent not *Ghanaian btw
She also is from Ghana 🇬🇭 & stated that in one of her episodes btw .
doublejack Haroldlüke she said her parents are from Ghana, she grew up in Germany.
doublejack Haroldlüke I never realised she's from Ghana at first until I read the comments.
I'm fluent in polish, English and I'm learning Japanese and French
I'm currently aprendido Espanol 😊
Hi! If you are interested in a tutor I could help you out with spanish if you help me practice my english
Si necesite alguien enseñarse ingles, puedo ayudarse si ayudame con mi espanol (sorry if that was bad)
Its Clarke Si necesita alguien que le enseñe inglés, le puedo ayudar si usted me ayuda con mi español**
My offer extends to you as well Clarke :) and it wasn't half bad, I understood what you meant. If I may, it's on the verbs you've gotten it a bit off, the right sentence would be "Si necesitas alguien que te enseñe inglés, puedo ayudarte si me ayudas con mi español"
Glad to hear someone emphasizing grammar and book learning. It's like every expert out there thinks it's beneath them to mention it. A lot of us would love to learn several languages but unless we use it, just not worth the time and effort. Fortunately, the internet offers new opportunities.
Hey do you recommend any german novels, tv series, movies and music? Btw I really like your videos, it helps a lot xx
That's hard because many germans only listen to english/international music. But there are still many popular artists Idk if you like rap music but I recommend sierra kidd, raf camora, ufo361.. some other musicians of other genres are Rammstein, Mark Forster, Silbermond, Xavier Naidoo, Tim Bendzko, Nena.
A lot of popular films from hollywood are in german. Of course it's not as authentic as with the original english voices but it might help. Also Harry Potter might help because the german voice actors aren't too bad in my opinion x)
I like Herbert Grönemeyer: watch?v=1SG5A3PYaUs
I like how you described tip 2 because that reminded me of my mom describing the way she learned English (her first language was Chinese)
On my way to finally understanding Kim Taehyung!
lol xd
HAAHAHHA I can’t 😂😂😂😂
Great tips!! I am learning French, and just a tip and you can do this with any language. When you watch any movie, especially Hollywood ones in English, you can download subtitles in whatever language you wish, just Google the ".SRT" file and then import it into your video player on your PC. For example you can get French subtitles playing whilst watching Avengers, and now for every English sentence uttered, you get the French equivalent written on screen!
What do you think about learning 2 languages at once?
Cealeena Bowers You can do that, but I say get a lock down on the first language then go on to the second one.
Overload....unless they are similar like Spanish and Portuguese
Im Ghanaian in Italy, you are inspiration I'm learning Spanish now
How long did it take to learn Portuguese on your own, fluently?
DoctorBoogles I'm Brazilian. I can help you with portuguese If you help me with English.
Marcio Zuba I would so help you! I really want to learn portugués! I only know Spanish and English
Alexa Perez Add me on SKYPE, so we can arrange something marciozuba@r7.com
Thank you! Warm greetings from Ireland,well done!
Can somebody recommend me german singers?:)
tarbulolo 123 Silbermond
tarbulolo 123 Wise guys
tarbulolo 123 AnnenMayKantereit
Vincent Weiss, Sarah Connor, Alligatoah
You should listen to Mark Forster he has good songtexts and not that much of an accent which might be good for starting :-) good luck!
with your video, you really achieved an exchange of the different cultures in the comment seccion and thats so awesome!
I'm currently learning polish because my boyfriend is from there and I'm so motivated to be fluent but it's supposed to be one of the hardest languages! anyone recommend any good polish tv shows or singers?
jennifer atlet you can do it!!! I'm trying to learn danish because my boyfriend is 😌
Julia dziękuję bardzo dziewczyna! Tak, i already knew a lot of vocabulary because I have do nich motivation to learn but only recently I've just made a Netflix account so I can watch cartoons with polish dub it's been amazing! watching currently watching magiczny autobus And Świnka pęppa hahaha its realny helping though! dziękuję za the artists i will listen to Them:D skąd jesteś z Polska kochana?

jennifer atlet the motivation is so high lol! and I plan to visit him soon ! (:
ccisdacute1339 omg are you guys long distance?! where do you guys live 😄😄❤
These 3 simple tips are very good and truly, truly practical. They really work. That's the way to go, folks! Thank you very much!
