Yes, it's awesome. When I'm learning languages, I usually try to learn about a whole new topic at the same time. For example, chess and Mandarin. I know more about Mandarin than chess, so I try to learn chess first, new Mandarin vocab comes as a bonus. About car engine in Japanese, chainsaw and woodcutting work in Swedish, and so on. L1 Finnish (and music LoL)
Wow, that's a very impressive and ambitious approach. But I can clearly see why it could work. When I was making research about language learning topic on neuroscience, I came across some papers looking into that. Music definitely plays a factor in such topics. I've been also playing chess since I was a child, on and off. Brain is like a muscle, when one uses it to learn/practice something, it naturally may help on other fields positively as a side effect.

🌈🌈🌈 I use to write a lot of my content or information down in a notebook. I got bored of that kind of thing, so I seldom do it anymore. I do more listening than anything.🌈🌈🌈 I am learning Swahili, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, Modern Standard Arabic. It is my first official day of learning the Filipino language.🌈🌈🌈
I also do a lot of listening at times when I’m starting or trying to improve a language. This method is covering the aspect of physically recording the consumed content, which can/should also be audio input often times. So it’s not negating any other type of media. My goal is to motivate people, especially younger generations about learning. And writing in some form I believe is an essential element to instill discipline. Enjoy the journey with your languages 🙂
In a future video I am planning to review Anki and maybe some other similar apps. But the point of this video is, that one can get results even without relying on Anki as well. There are many ways to improve a language. So I recommend not getting fixated on just one way of doing things. Just 'pen and paper' can be as powerful, people learned multiple languages long before the invention of computers and phones...
@@FelixGibson-zz1dr Hopefully you’ll gain more clarity after the upcoming videos, because I’ll try to cover more aspects and mention some supplementary elements. Taking notes (writing) has always been an effective way to retain information, but often neglected in this day and age. ‘Timeless’ in this context doesn’t mean it doesn’t take time, it refers to the method’s longevity. It literally helped people for thousands of years and will keep helping in the future as well…
In the past I used it for a very short while. It’s a powerful option, but not my cup of coffee. I’ll explain why, and alternative tools in future videos…
@ I said it that was on purpose. Some people may hate it but I like playing and modifying words to my liking often, and I naturally make mistakes as well. But I believe that’s how languages evolve…
@@PolyglotPassport But the saying has always been not my cup of tea pretty much forever. It sounds like someone misspoke because English is not their first language.
@@michaelabercrombie7698As I said, it was intended. But you’re absolutely right, it’s a common occurrence (notice I still don’t label it as a mistake). On the other hand, I personally make a lot of mistakes in all languages I speak including my native one, and that’s okay… The message was received perfectly fine by whom it was intended for. I just see policing over languages as a barrier, it discourages people learning or practicing. That’s why I may sound a little defensive on this matter, please don’t take it personally :) You’re always welcome to watch my videos if you can bear the mistakes ☺️
Sorry for the late reply. It's been a little hectic lately. I did mention the brand name in the video, they're Lamy A5 booklets. You can view the related part at 06:46 in the video (there is also a useful size guide there after a few seconds for you to pick the size I recommend). Keep in mind that any notebook would work similarly, I personally like lightweight notebooks more. Feel free to pick some alternative that's available in your region. Enjoy your studies...
Thank you :) Languages of the world should represent people, not the royal entities, the current population of Mexico is more than double of Spain's, not to mention Mexican population in the States (the same applies to some other South American nationalities as well)... I honestly don't understand why people don't take this as a factor. In one of my other videos, I showed only Spain's flag, because the topic I talked about was related to the unfortunate weather events that happened recently in Valencia etc.
Pretty much, yes. It wouldn’t work, if one underestimates the power of simple, good old-school methods though. In future videos, I’ll try to cover some other key elements as well.
I actually like how Greek language sounds a lot. I wish I had more time for it though 😊 Hopefully one day I’ll be able to cover some of its basics at the very least…
Вы бы поставили флаг третьего рейха со свастикой на тетрадку для изучения немецкого языка? Так же и на тетрадку для изучения русского могли бы поставить другой флаг, РДК или хотя бы флаг российской оппозиции.

im happy to see a method with anki because i can literally never get into it😭😭 i use the app once then never use it again🙏 thank you for this video

I'm more confused after watching this video. What's the timeless method? Taking notes about the language learning experience?

@PolyglotPassport I agree. Writing things down works best for me.
So you don’t use anki?

A video foe German, please.
Thank you so much.
Unfortunately, it may not happen anytime soon because of other things happening in my life. But I hear you, now it's in my mind (:
A video about Japanese language please
@@JustIITbombay Not sure when I can find time for it, but sure thing, soon or later I will post a video about Japanese 🇯🇵🙂↕️
What is the notebook brand name please, so we can find to buy
he mentioned it's Lamy

Spanish with Mexico flag? As a mexician im impressed its not spains flag.

then lets call it mexican language?
This video does not say anything.
So: the "method" is "take notes in notebooks, and display the notebooks so they are easy to review"???
Pretty much, yes. It wouldn’t work, if one underestimates the power of simple, good old-school methods though. In future videos, I’ll try to cover some other key elements as well.
He also showed the layout of his notebooks: English in black, target language in blue, and grammar (kept to a minimum) in red.
Next notebook for greek, please!
I actually like how Greek language sounds a lot. I wish I had more time for it though 😊 Hopefully one day I’ll be able to cover some of its basics at the very least…
