Pro tip if you're trying to learn Arabic and can't choose a dialect, just choose Egyptian it by far has the biggest media influence also the geographical location of Egypt is the closest to the middle of the arab world you'll get. And the dialect has softened many sounds that are usually hard for non-arabic speakers
If you was to learn Egyptian Arabic then would you be able to communicate with people from places such as Qatar and dubai? I am at the research stage of Arabic and would love to know your opinion
@@moose1419 in my opinion the bigger a dialect's presence in media the better that's why i think Egyptian is great, now it obviously depends on the person but most should understand it just not speak the same dialect back to you, if you let them know they'll probably use modern standard arabic to speak back to you
@@moose1419 yes I believe the egyptian dialect is the easiest to learn and all arabic speaking countries can understand that dialect, you'll also have a lot of ressources that's help you learn (movies, series, songs...) however you'll still strugle to understand the other dialects at first since some of them may be very different. I always think that it is good to have a general idea on standard arabic since it's the basis of the all the dialects
:D actually I’m Egyptian and I live in UAE and I understood everything ever since I got there and also I had no trouble communicating with people there in arabic
Iclal’s schedule for Nicos Weg A1 and A2 levels: 1. Go to the lesson page 2. Go to the vocabulary section. Read, memorize and write down (into the according notebook) the vocabulary. Note: Write down only vocabulary without the translation. After practicing several times you will remember these words and expressions without translation. 3. Watch the episode 3 times without subtitles, and 1 time with subtitles (in German of course). 4. Tip by Zoe: Practice your pronunciation with the shadowing technique. Watch the episode again, listen, pause and record yourself, then check similarity. 5.Go to the exercises, do all the exercises. Write down the mentioned text with the highlighted words and expressions (I will take another notebook for it). Write down dialogues without translation. 6. After completing all exercises go to the grammar section, read it, and write it down in another notebook. 7. Watch 1 episode and complete these tasks (1 lesson) every day. After 5 days or 1 week take a break, and watch previous episodes together (5 - 7 episodes together), the total duration will be 10-15 minutes. Then you can memorize all vocab, all grammar tips, all dialogues, and all texts. 8. Before taking an exam, I’ll recommend you to watch the entire movie and read and memorize everything you wrote down.
I was raised in a rural village in the Philippine, where people struggle for studying. To be honest, I didn't even graduate high school in that village cause of lack of financial. However, I'm very happy of having an habit of learning new languages. So now, I'm able to express myself in three foreign languages such an English, Arabic, and Korean. I learned all of these by myself. This video really motivates me to learn more. Thank you. #selfstudy.
Yea, Zoe, keeping up great content is vital, but why haven't you started learning some Russian yet?;) ...And i spent so many sleepless nights learning Chinese 🤣😜 Russian is much easier. You can appreciate exactly how easy and beautiful it is: th-cam.com/video/P2UVs1Gs4yw/w-d-xo.html

I completely agree with everything you said! I keep telling my students my best tip to success - listen to the sentences, get a set of couple and keep listening to them.

I am also one of the ppl you inspired to re-learn a language. In my case Chinese and French. Thanks! This video is sooo great! I decided to focus on grammar for French and for Chinese I focus on re-learning the signs. I think it is important to find out your „weaknesses“ when you re-learn a language and focus on that :-)
Videolarınızdan istifade ediyorum sizi bir kaç gündür takip ediyorum sayenizde şu kısa zamanda çok şey öğrendim.Benim amacım İngilizcemi geliştirmek ve dediklerinize katılıyorum bir önceki izlediğim videolarınızda ve her video da değindiğiniz gibi bu işte en önemli şey az kaynak,süreklilik ve ertelememek aslında tüm dillerde geçerli bu biz bunların hepsine Türkçe'de "istikrar"diyoruz eğer istikrarlı olursak yapamayacağımız şey yok içimdeki uyuyan çalışkan öğrenciyi uyandırdığın için teşekkür ederim. ^^
I'm studying Japanese(just to explore the language since I'm going to live there) and Korean (Master, where I'm thinking of doing my postgrad in 2-3 years), I was in a slump and did not succeed, even with Japanese for the past 3-5 years but never moved forward. I saw your channel and started taking your tips to heart, creating a schedule and a goal in my life. I'm way ahead what I was when I first started. Thank you!
I have a feeling Turkish pronounciation is very easy, not to say I'm learning it, because I find it very beautiful. Especially love turkish women pronounciation in soap operas.
Thanks my teacher I from somalia I life in Uganda, I started to learning English language. This video make me decide improved to learning language thanks.
You're my favorite TH-camr for language learning motivation! I don't find media to be very helpful and much prefer a structured course. I really need to work on my consistency. I get lazy when I'm tired and overwhelmed and end up wasting so much time!
Merhaba Zoe. Umarım iyisindir, öncelikle kendi başına Türkçeyi öğrenmen gerçekten çok güzel.Benim anadilim Türkçe ve seninle kendi dilimde iletişim kurabileceğim için şanslı hissediyorum.Bende Almanca öğrenmeye çalışıyorum ve videoların bu konuda bana destek oluyor.Sadece öğrenirken çok fazla materyal olması konusunda kafam karışıyor ve öğrenme sürecimi geciktiriyor.Şuan gittiğim kursun kullandığı kitap Schritte yayınları umarım iyidir A2 seviyesi için.Yararlı Videoların için Teşekkür etmek istedim, çok fazla fikir verdin.Hayatında başarılar dilerim.Yeni yılın kutlu olsun tatlı Zoe ❣
You inspire me, I have a dream to be a polyglot. Of course I know this process will take time, but I am willing to but in my time and effort into it. I am currently learning Swedish, I’ve been taking it for almost i month but I stumbled on your video and decided to watch it. It was actually helpful even after almost a month of learning. Tack så mycket!! 🇸🇪
Glad I found you! I’ve been struggling with learning Turkish for about 5 months now. Whilst I understand most written sentences, I find it hard using them in my daily lives. I’ll definitely follow these very useful tips. I’m obsessed with your page. Keep doing what you’re doing! 💞🌸
Thank you so much! I've studied four languages in school, but now that i am no longer in school I've been intimidated to start learning new languages on my own. This video was very motivational!
Hello zoe, when you downloaded this video, I watched it as I was learning English but I find it impotent to me because my level was higher but, currently after 8 months, I played it back to pick some fascinating tips of it to help me to learn Chinese and Russian from scratch at the same time even though I continue learning English and I am 12th grader but you've inspired me a lot and I appreciate it and good luck for Both of us 😘❤
I'd love to see a tutorial for how to create the excel sheet you use for vocabulary, and how you import the sentences from it into anki :) That would be so helpful!
Hi! Right now I’m studying in Russia therefore I’m trying to learn Russian, and I want to go for more but right now since I’m living here I’m just focused to master this language. Just wanted to thank you for this kind of content you really motivate me to keep going and reaching my objectives
Zoe your videos are like miracles they helped me so much in my language learning journey and because of you I’ve decided to study 4 languages at once. Your tips helped me so much and I am beyond grateful❤️ Thank you so much!!!!
I'm very appreciate for your kindness😢 I still keep trying to relearn Chinese and English on my own but I just a little bit of progressing .So thank you 😊 💓love you ,Zoe
cette vidéo est juste idéale ! j'avais vraiment besoin de ces conseils pour commencer à apprendre l'arabe, je me sentais perdue. tu donnes une méthode très concrète et maintenant je vois les choses de façon plus claire. merci beaucoup
I'm learning Finnish for about a month, and I really found many tips in your video very helpful. The Finnish grammar is very complex with 15 cases. So instead of learning them all at once, I should start with the most common ones and advance gradually. Vocabulary wise, it is also very different (I'm a native Chinese speaker, learned English at a very young age. I learned Japanese and German later. Many vocabs from Japanese and German, I can find similarities in the languages I already knew. However, Finnish as an Uralic language, I really struggle with the vocab. Nonetheless, seeing that you have learned so many languages really inspires me and makes me believe that I can achieve the goal, albeit with a longer time. As you said in the end, "language learning is a marathon not a race", I should feel less anxious about how much time I take to reach a certain level, rather about enjoying the scenery so far.
Thank you so much for this video! I grew up speaking English and Korean but never really became conversational in any other language. I'm now going to try using these tips to help me learn French and Latin American Spanish! Thank you!!!
thank you soooo much sister!!! im really passionate and get excited EVERY TIME we talk about languages...but when it comes to learning, i didnt really know how, when to start and it was truly overwhelming, esp in this generation when there are so many resources to dive in. again, many thanks for your advice, im truly appreciate it, they save me so muchhhh time💖💖
I’m amazed by your tips and all your knowledge about languages. It’s so cool how you put so much love, effort and constancy into language learning… that’s definitely one of my objectives, being a polyglot one day. You’re inspiring and helping me a lot, I’m just watching all your videos and I’m loving it. I’ve just started Italian with Assimil because of your recommendations. Thank you so much, greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
There are also hordes of instructional and descriptive videos like.Ask Andy, Shuo shuo Chinese, Grace Mandarin, Yo yo Chinese, Yimin Chinese, Smart Chinese, Twin Cities ?Chinese, Bianca.Learns, Anna Lenks. Victoria. (?? from Russia,) etc., (perhaps Zoe can add her own look at Chinese), and.also text websites of general and specific elements of Chinese. Hope that these help. Zhu ni, hao.yunqi!!! (Good. Luck!!!)
Hi! Zoe, very thank you for your advises. I'm very falling in love with learning other languages, and what you do here by sharing your experience is just really helpful for self-learner like me. Thank you.🙏🏽
Hi Zoe, just discovered your channel. Just wanted to say I'm teach Turkish to foreigners and I must say I watched this video with proud, it's amazing how naturally and fluently you make your sentences in Turkish :) aferin :)
Zoe your English is getting smoother less "clipped" more flowing, congrats! I know you work hard, it makes it nicer to listen to you. Are you shadowing like a "language parent," someone who speaks English the way you like? VIDEO IDEAS: Breakdown how you set up your Excel sheet, how it's organized. And yes "motivation" and " organization" videos too.
Hello, thank you so much for being generous and patient to explain all these details step by step. I am learning German and I wanted to start with a good and strong base and this was very helpful! ❤️🌹
you're absolutely right, the first thing i do is research the language to have real expectations, then i study the writing system and pronunciations because it's better to study the language in it's natural sounds/phonetics
At first I didn`t like you. I thought you were just another woman talking about how to do things you didn`t know how to do. But after watching and listening to you, I believe you really know what you`re talking about. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
I've skiped Zoe few times I think, didn't like English pronounciation, but mine way way worse. However her advises in video are quite interesting and this video is differs from those so called "polyglots".
Wonderful video, one of best ones out there. I wish there were videos like these when I started learning languages. I speak 5 languages, 5th one is still in progress. And here are my tips for self language learning: 1 - Firstly research your new language, how it functions differently from your language. 2 - Start from A0 level course. Do the ABCs part of new language and very basic grammar etc. Can be video or audiobook or book but with audio. Also keep in mind, some languages don't have ABCs, like Chinese. 3 - Remember to have patience, language learning is a long journey. Not something that can be done in few weeks or months. 4 - Watch out for false videos on social media, there are people showing off that they learnt from zero in a month or so etc. These videos give false expectations and people fail to do it and then they simply leave thinking they will never make it. I was victim of this sadly. 5 - Start with one main resource, but supplement it with another later, in free time. I use apps, I started with Duolingo, but it become slow for me at one point so don't use it now, I now use different apps. 6 - Do it little by little everyday. But you must do it everyday. 30mins a day is better than 8 hours every Sunday.
I'm bilingual by origin, I can speak and write in both Persian and Azerbaijani Turkish, I also learned English so I got 3 languages covered, I'm trying to learn Arabic and German now, this video helped me a lot, thank you!
Subscribed. I am an Spanish and Catalan native speaker, and I am an English student, very Interesting video. My job is becoming every time more universal and I like to listen to different English's accents. Have a good day.
Thank you for the video. I want to learn Croatian by myself. There are not many resources on internet so I hope I will find something useful to start with.
Hello, I am an Iranian and I am trying very hard to learn French alone... (now I don't have the conditions to learn with the help of a class or a teacher) and your videos help me a lot... you are very good and excellent❤🥲✨
OH MY GOD!! this is what I need I always want to learning languages since 2019 but I don't know HOW am I going to study on my own.. Thank you for giving some of tips..
I love your blouse it looks so nice on you! I'm learning Norwegian, and Oslo University actually does a free online Norwegian course that I'm doing that has been really good! I've also been using, Anki, apps, textbooks, etc.
Very great tips! What you said about writing notes rather than utilizing it is so true. In the beginning of my language learning journey, I used to write key concepts and wrote down examples but it never sunk into my head.
Your elaboration is very great, thanks. The importan things that I have learnt from your video are I know how to get a lot of vocabularies in my mind. Try to use it, not just remember it.
dear Zoe thank you a lot from my heart for sharing your learning experiments kindly. personally, it definitely helps me a lot. I would be glad to see your new video about sharing your experiments as well about partner exchanging in near future.
Idk why the AI of ytb brings me to this video, you obviously answered the common problems of learn a new language as a beginner, thanks for AI for bringing me here, also big thanks to you for making and sharing this video❤
Thank you so much. I moved to Poland over a year ago. I'm married to a Polish man. Sadly I'm not able to afford lessons so I have to teach myself. It's been a long process and I have quit many times. I am so used to learning a lamguage in a class and not by myself. This video gives me confidence to try again with a new mindset!
Also find book & website reference grammars of 2 languages--here, Polish & English--to compare the 2 point by point. But each language has unique culture words that need articles. websites, videos. books.etc. Good luck!!
I've been so inconsistent with my Chinese and Korean studies for the last 2 years that I'm still at A1-A2 level. Now that I'm in school obtaining my degree in Liberal Arts: TESOL and then Applied Linguistics at an University afterwards, my study habits towards learning languages are declining. So, here I am, trying to find a sense of language learning order again.
I really appreciate your videos. I am a Literature, Linguistics and Spanish Teacher and I enjoy learning new languages. My native language is Spanish. I know English (B2) , Brazilian Portuguese (A2) and now I am living in the Netherlands, trying to learn Dutch and Czech on my own. Your tips are always helpful. Thank you
Thanks for the tips. Basically i apply most of what you said but it inspired me again❤ i am learning Arabic right now and i need to focus and spend more time into Arabic because it is a complex language 😊
You cover all the bases and yes you are very motivating. I appreciate your detail and professional approach. Joy and Pain is exactly my experience. Thank you for all your dedication to help us. My chosen Language is Spanish. I started completely from scratch and really enjoyed the self discovery early on . I find it very interesting, that I often have seen others experiences very similar to mine. Learning and deciding how to start as many others have. I have taught myself many things over the years out of necessity curiosity and pure interest . I hope to gain momentum and travel to South America to visit friends and immerse with my new level of competence. This time I will have a new level of understanding and confidence. Thank you. 10:28
TQ very much Zoe.Will choose a language and start to learn using your tips.I love languages.I can speak the Malay language and English.A little bit of Thai,Vietnamese,Hokkien,...

The information given in this video is gold. The best ever given. ✨👏 I'm gonna use these tips for sure. Also learning a language on your own is totally possible, cause I've learned german to a conversation level within two to three years without taking any classes. It was all on my own, and with the help of TH-cam. 😂 Of course I still have a lot of struggles that I need to overcome.
This is the best language learning instructional video I've ever seen. Thank you for being so transparent with your methods. Have you made that video on how to learn well with a language partner?
Thank you so much Zoe! This is very helpful! Can you make another video on how you learn German, what resources did you use and the tips of self-learning German?
This is a great video. I think the best way to start learning a new language is to just start and not fall into "tutorial hell". You'll figure out what works for you along the way, keep building on that.
Hii Zoe. Could you please make a video on some good resources for learning French? I've been struggling to learn it for a while now and you videos give me so much motivation to pick it up again!
Hey, I always love watching your videos as someone who is becoming more interested in languages. I hope this doesn't sound demeaning or rude because I mean it with the highest respect- your accent since your previous videos sounds nearly native! I'm astounded by how much you have improved the pronunciation of some words and it's really inspirational for my own improvement in languages. Thank you for these videos and much love
I love your content! I thank you so much for your great effort, hard work, positive attitude and real learning language. Sharing amazing experience and knowing culture of a country when you travel to target country, I love too!
I started learning farsi during lockdown to be able to communicate with my family in Iran. I'm at B1 but I've gotten stuck since then. I've been chatting with native speakers for a long time and learned new vocab and expressions along the way however, I don't really know how to get past this level. For me getting started and getting past A levels have never been the struggle. But to progress after B is my struggle.

Videolarınızdan istifade ediyorum sizi bir kaç gündür takip ediyorum sayenizde şu kısa zamanda çok şey öğrendim.Benim amacım İngilizcemi geliştirmek ve dediklerinize katılıyorum bir önceki izlediğim videolarınızda ve her video da değindiğiniz gibi bu işte en önemli şey az kaynak,süreklilik ve ertelememek aslında tüm dillerde geçerli bu biz bunların hepsine Türkçe'de "istikrar"diyoruz eğer istikrarlı olursak yapamayacağımız şey yok içimdeki uyuyan çalışkan öğrenciyi uyandırdığın için teşekkür ederim. ^^
I'm studying Japanese(just to explore the language since I'm going to live there) and Korean (Master, where I'm thinking of doing my postgrad in 2-3 years), I was in a slump and did not succeed, even with Japanese for the past 3-5 years but never moved forward. I saw your channel and started taking your tips to heart, creating a schedule and a goal in my life. I'm way ahead what I was when I first started. Thank you!
Wish you good luck 👍
Are the Korean Alphabets the same as the Japanese Alphabets?
@@zoe.languages thank you!
@@shosah1172 no not at all. Korean uses Hanja and Hangeul while Japanese uses Hiragana, katakana and kanji. ☺️
Good luck, my friend. I believe in you
I’ve never thought of learning a language with excel sheets… this is actually mind-blowing to me!
I was so surprised when I hear you pronounce the word öğretmen, you pronounced it like a total native speaker, congrats 👏
I have a feeling Turkish pronounciation is very easy, not to say I'm learning it, because I find it very beautiful. Especially love turkish women pronounciation in soap operas.
Thanks my teacher I from somalia I life in Uganda, I started to learning English language. This video make me decide improved to learning language thanks.
You can don't worry waa sameen karta 😊
You're my favorite TH-camr for language learning motivation! I don't find media to be very helpful and much prefer a structured course. I really need to work on my consistency. I get lazy when I'm tired and overwhelmed and end up wasting so much time!
Merhaba Zoe. Umarım iyisindir, öncelikle kendi başına Türkçeyi öğrenmen gerçekten çok güzel.Benim anadilim Türkçe ve seninle kendi dilimde iletişim kurabileceğim için şanslı hissediyorum.Bende Almanca öğrenmeye çalışıyorum ve videoların bu konuda bana destek oluyor.Sadece öğrenirken çok fazla materyal olması konusunda kafam karışıyor ve öğrenme sürecimi geciktiriyor.Şuan gittiğim kursun kullandığı kitap Schritte yayınları umarım iyidir A2 seviyesi için.Yararlı Videoların için Teşekkür etmek istedim, çok fazla fikir verdin.Hayatında başarılar dilerim.Yeni yılın kutlu olsun tatlı Zoe ❣
شكرا جزيلا زوي ❤️لقد حفزتني و ساعدتني كثيرا بعد ان كنت مشتتة و بفضلك يمكنني البدء في تعلم الالمانية و الإنجليزية من جديد
You inspire me, I have a dream to be a polyglot. Of course I know this process will take time, but I am willing to but in my time and effort into it. I am currently learning Swedish, I’ve been taking it for almost i month but I stumbled on your video and decided to watch it. It was actually helpful even after almost a month of learning.
Tack så mycket!! 🇸🇪
Glad I found you! I’ve been struggling with learning Turkish for about 5 months now. Whilst I understand most written sentences, I find it hard using them in my daily lives. I’ll definitely follow these very useful tips. I’m obsessed with your page. Keep doing what you’re doing! 💞🌸
Başarılar dilerim 🥰
13 ay oldu.Nasıl gidiyor?
@@zoe.languages HI zoe zoe r u single
Thank you so much! I've studied four languages in school, but now that i am no longer in school I've been intimidated to start learning new languages on my own. This video was very motivational!
I totally agree with you, my friend. By the way, your videos are excellent. You are really talent 💕💕💕
Hello zoe, when you downloaded this video, I watched it as I was learning English but I find it impotent to me because my level was higher but, currently after 8 months, I played it back to pick some fascinating tips of it to help me to learn Chinese and Russian from scratch at the same time even though I continue learning English and I am 12th grader but you've inspired me a lot and I appreciate it and good luck for Both of us 😘❤
I'd love to see a tutorial for how to create the excel sheet you use for vocabulary, and how you import the sentences from it into anki :) That would be so helpful!
I agree
That would be really helpful!
Hi! Right now I’m studying in Russia therefore I’m trying to learn Russian, and I want to go for more but right now since I’m living here I’m just focused to master this language. Just wanted to thank you for this kind of content you really motivate me to keep going and reaching my objectives
Hey! What do u study there?
Zoe your videos are like miracles they helped me so much in my language learning journey and because of you I’ve decided to study 4 languages at once. Your tips helped me so much and I am beyond grateful❤️ Thank you so much!!!!
How is it going¿ U still learning all 4 of em simultaneously ¿
Zoe, you are a born teacher and influencer. Hope to see more video about language learning from you❤
I'm very appreciate for your kindness😢 I still keep trying to relearn Chinese and English on my own but I just a little bit of progressing .So thank you 😊 💓love you ,Zoe
cette vidéo est juste idéale ! j'avais vraiment besoin de ces conseils pour commencer à apprendre l'arabe, je me sentais perdue. tu donnes une méthode très concrète et maintenant je vois les choses de façon plus claire. merci beaucoup
這次上傳了的視頻真的很顯著 還有非常有幫助。。多謝姐姐！我有學了韓語日語二年， 學華語才半年 而且從中學開始就學了英語，我也最近學過阿拉伯語俄語 可是現在我先想更專注學習阿拉伯語， 再我將繼續學習俄語。我甚至對學習任何外語一點都不有趣， 但關注您的頻道 還有觀看幾乎所有內容以後 我對學外語的興趣越來越大。要是您不介意就請製作有些關於阿拉伯語的內容，尤其是有關黎凡特阿拉伯語。如果有些詞您看不懂 對不起 因為我還是初學者，所以我說中文說得不好。。
I'm learning Finnish for about a month, and I really found many tips in your video very helpful. The Finnish grammar is very complex with 15 cases. So instead of learning them all at once, I should start with the most common ones and advance gradually. Vocabulary wise, it is also very different (I'm a native Chinese speaker, learned English at a very young age. I learned Japanese and German later. Many vocabs from Japanese and German, I can find similarities in the languages I already knew. However, Finnish as an Uralic language, I really struggle with the vocab. Nonetheless, seeing that you have learned so many languages really inspires me and makes me believe that I can achieve the goal, albeit with a longer time. As you said in the end, "language learning is a marathon not a race", I should feel less anxious about how much time I take to reach a certain level, rather about enjoying the scenery so far.
Thank you so much for this video! I grew up speaking English and Korean but never really became conversational in any other language. I'm now going to try using these tips to help me learn French and Latin American Spanish! Thank you!!!
thank you soooo much sister!!!
im really passionate and get excited EVERY TIME we talk about languages...but when it comes to learning, i didnt really know how, when to start and it was truly overwhelming, esp in this generation when there are so many resources to dive in.
again, many thanks for your advice, im truly appreciate it, they save me so muchhhh time💖💖
You are very welcome 🤗
I’m amazed by your tips and all your knowledge about languages. It’s so cool how you put so much love, effort and constancy into language learning… that’s definitely one of my objectives, being a polyglot one day. You’re inspiring and helping me a lot, I’m just watching all your videos and I’m loving it. I’ve just started Italian with Assimil because of your recommendations. Thank you so much, greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
💪 wish you good luck
Caramba, encontrei um brasileiro kkkk
I love how you also talk about the mental aspects. Thank you so much💜
I’m planning on moving from Iran to Canada so I decided to start learning French on my own. Your videos are so helpful and motivating. Ty
I am Iranian-Arabic and I want to learn Chinese. Thank you very much for using a video to make it. Thank you.
There are also hordes of instructional and descriptive
videos like.Ask Andy, Shuo shuo Chinese, Grace Mandarin,
Yo yo Chinese, Yimin Chinese, Smart Chinese, Twin Cities ?Chinese, Bianca.Learns, Anna Lenks. Victoria. (?? from Russia,)
etc., (perhaps Zoe can add her own look at Chinese), and.also text websites of general and specific
elements of Chinese.
Hope that these help.
Zhu ni, hao.yunqi!!! (Good. Luck!!!)
Correction--Learn Chinese with Victoria.
@@tymanung768 ummm how is Victoria? She is a TH-camr?
@@tymanung768 oh OK ok thanks you so much good Luke too♡ u are so pretty 🙂🤍
Hi!
Zoe, very thank you for your advises.
I'm very falling in love with learning other languages, and what you do here by sharing your experience is just really helpful for self-learner like me.
Thank you.🙏🏽
Hi Zoe, just discovered your channel. Just wanted to say I'm teach Turkish to foreigners and I must say I watched this video with proud, it's amazing how naturally and fluently you make your sentences in Turkish :) aferin :)
Zoe your English is getting smoother less "clipped" more flowing, congrats! I know you work hard, it makes it nicer to listen to you. Are you shadowing like a "language parent," someone who speaks English the way you like? VIDEO IDEAS: Breakdown how you set up your Excel sheet, how it's organized. And yes "motivation" and " organization" videos too.
Very good ideas thank you dear
That clarity and logic you have in that gifted head of yours, you've somehow managed to portray in video form. It's a really special production Zoe.
Hello, thank you so much for being generous and patient to explain all these details step by step.
I am learning German and I wanted to start with a good and strong base and this was very helpful! ❤️🌹
you're absolutely right, the first thing i do is research the language to have real expectations, then i study the writing system and pronunciations because it's better to study the language in it's natural sounds/phonetics
你说的都对😁
What a great video Zoe. Some invaluable tips here. Thanks!
At first I didn`t like you. I thought you were just another woman talking about how to do things you didn`t know how to do. But after watching and listening to you, I believe you really know what you`re talking about. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
I've skiped Zoe few times I think, didn't like English pronounciation, but mine way way worse. However her advises in video are quite interesting and this video is differs from those so called "polyglots".
Wonderful video, one of best ones out there. I wish there were videos like these when I started learning languages. I speak 5 languages, 5th one is still in progress. And here are my tips for self language learning:
1 - Firstly research your new language, how it functions differently from your language.
2 - Start from A0 level course. Do the ABCs part of new language and very basic grammar etc. Can be video or audiobook or book but with audio. Also keep in mind, some languages don't have ABCs, like Chinese.
3 - Remember to have patience, language learning is a long journey. Not something that can be done in few weeks or months.
4 - Watch out for false videos on social media, there are people showing off that they learnt from zero in a month or so etc. These videos give false expectations and people fail to do it and then they simply leave thinking they will never make it. I was victim of this sadly.
5 - Start with one main resource, but supplement it with another later, in free time. I use apps, I started with Duolingo, but it become slow for me at one point so don't use it now, I now use different apps.
6 - Do it little by little everyday. But you must do it everyday. 30mins a day is better than 8 hours every Sunday.
I am so happy to read your valuable message, my friend. This is so important for me. I am so gratitude for that 🥰🥰
@@deutschmitpurple2918 Thank you for kind words my friend.
@@AdamYLM 🥰🥰
30min a day is 3hours 30 min a week :) and while our concentration is around 20min up 1hour and half, I guess this is really a way to go.
I love that you show so many examples on Turkish, because I'm just learning it
I'm bilingual by origin, I can speak and write in both Persian and Azerbaijani Turkish, I also learned English so I got 3 languages covered, I'm trying to learn Arabic and German now, this video helped me a lot, thank you!
Thanks for this video! I'm still learning English but I challenged myself to improve my English and start learning Italian. I will follow your tips
Subscribed. I am an Spanish and Catalan native speaker, and I am an English student, very Interesting video. My job is becoming every time more universal and I like to listen to different English's accents. Have a good day.
Me too, my friend. I really love english 💕💕💕
@@deutschmitpurple2918 is becoming essential
Thank you for the video. I want to learn Croatian by myself. There are not many resources on internet so I hope I will find something useful to start with.
Hello, I am an Iranian and I am trying very hard to learn French alone... (now I don't have the conditions to learn with the help of a class or a teacher) and your videos help me a lot... you are very good and excellent❤🥲✨
OH MY GOD!! this is what I need I always want to learning languages since 2019 but I don't know HOW am I going to study on my own..
Thank you for giving some of tips..
I love your blouse it looks so nice on you! I'm learning Norwegian, and Oslo University actually does a free online Norwegian course that I'm doing that has been really good! I've also been using, Anki, apps, textbooks, etc.
Blouse is amazing, indeed.
Thanks for this video! I think it will be really useful for me, I'm currently trying to learn turkish. Your progress is really inspiring ❤️
Thank you so much 🥰. This is the first time I get such valuable information like these about language learning
Very great tips! What you said about writing notes rather than utilizing it is so true. In the beginning of my language learning journey, I used to write key concepts and wrote down examples but it never sunk into my head.
Merci Zoé pour tes conseils.Cela rend l'apprentissage d'une langue plus facile dans la méthode . J'y vois plus clair désormais.Merci Merci
Your elaboration is very great, thanks. The importan things that I have learnt from your video are I know how to get a lot of vocabularies in my mind. Try to use it, not just remember it.
dear Zoe thank you a lot from my heart for sharing your learning experiments kindly. personally, it definitely helps me a lot. I would be glad to see your new video about sharing your experiments as well about partner exchanging in near future.
Idk why the AI of ytb brings me to this video, you obviously answered the common problems of learn a new language as a beginner, thanks for AI for bringing me here, also big thanks to you for making and sharing this video❤
Thank you so much. I moved to Poland over a year ago. I'm married to a Polish man. Sadly I'm not able to afford lessons so I have to teach myself. It's been a long process and I have quit many times. I am so used to learning a lamguage in a class and not by myself. This video gives me confidence to try again with a new mindset!
I'm learning Polish too.
Also see Luca Lampariellos Polish learning video!
Also find book & website
reference grammars of 2
languages--here, Polish & English--to compare the 2 point by point.
But each language has unique culture words that need articles. websites, videos. books.etc.
Good luck!!
I'm glad that I watched this video today. It helps me a lot that now i know the tips and tricks of the language. Thank you so much Zoe!!!
Happy to hear that!
每次出新视频都感觉你在各个方面
有可见的进步🥰
Thank you so much as a Turkish ( teşekkür ederim 😊) and living in Canada now I want to learn Spanish and French I hope I can do it 😍
Teşekkürler Zoe, videon yeni bir dil öğrenmeye başlamam için bana motivasyon sağladı. Türkçen de gayet iyi tebrikler. 😀
I am pretty sure that you are not a human, Zoe.. you are an Angel.. I hope you are always well. Keep up the good contents!
I've been so inconsistent with my Chinese and Korean studies for the last 2 years that I'm still at A1-A2 level.
Now that I'm in school obtaining my degree in Liberal Arts: TESOL and then Applied Linguistics at an University afterwards, my study habits towards learning languages are declining.
So, here I am, trying to find a sense of language learning order again.
Oh same but with French 😫
I really appreciate your videos. I am a Literature, Linguistics and Spanish Teacher and I enjoy learning new languages. My native language is Spanish. I know English (B2) , Brazilian Portuguese (A2) and now I am living in the Netherlands, trying to learn Dutch and Czech on my own. Your tips are always helpful. Thank you
You are supertalent person. I hope I can learn spanish as soon as possible. I have a question. How can I learn spanish?
看了很多英语学习方法的视频，感觉你的是可操作性最强的，给了很多很实用的建议，感谢❤
I am starting to my journey to learning English and Arabic languages during this year 2023 I will take your advice and tips thnks for sharing us 🙏💯
Thanks for the tips. Basically i apply most of what you said but it inspired me again❤ i am learning Arabic right now and i need to focus and spend more time into Arabic because it is a complex language 😊
Türkçeyi gerçekten çok güzel okuyorsun 🥹Şu an italyanca öğreniyorum video için teşekkürler 💙
Merci beaucoup Zoé, I really love your videos, it helps me a lot in my language journey
You cover all the bases and yes you are very motivating. I appreciate your detail and professional approach. Joy and Pain is exactly my experience. Thank you for all your dedication to help us. My chosen Language is Spanish. I started completely from scratch and really enjoyed the self discovery early on . I find it very interesting, that I often have seen others experiences very similar to mine. Learning and deciding how to start as many others have. I have taught myself many things over the years out of necessity curiosity and pure interest . I hope to gain momentum and travel to South America to visit friends and immerse with my new level of competence. This time I will have a new level of understanding and confidence. Thank you. 10:28
I think it's the best video I have ever watched about how to learn a language!
TQ very much Zoe.Will choose a language and start to learn using your tips.I love languages.I can speak the Malay language and English.A little bit of Thai,Vietnamese,Hokkien,...
You’re so awesome! Thanks you for teaching us your technique and providing resources! Very inspirational!
this is so helpful. I'm thinking about learning a new language and your tips helped me to clear everything up. thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Girllll, the production value of your videos gets better with each video and you still produce so much valuable content ❤❤❤
Thank you for your support 💖
Videonuz, öğrenme metodolojileri konusunda benim için faydalı bir kaynak oldu. Ayrıca Türkçeden örnekler vererek devam etmenizden ötürü, sizin de düzenli olarak kullanabileceğinizi düşündüğüm dil öğrenme uygulamamızda ilk deneme şansını yakalayacak kişiler listesine sizi ekledim. Emeğinize sağlık, başarılarınızın devamını dilerim.
You are a life saviour! Thank you so much for all the wonderfull tips! God bless you !!!
💪💪💪
Zoe, you are helping me so much with my French studies. Thanks a lot!
The information given in this video is gold. The best ever given. ✨👏
I'm gonna use these tips for sure.
Also learning a language on your own is totally possible, cause I've learned german to a conversation level within two to three years without taking any classes. It was all on my own, and with the help of TH-cam. 😂 Of course I still have a lot of struggles that I need to overcome.
This is the best language learning instructional video I've ever seen. Thank you for being so transparent with your methods. Have you made that video on how to learn well with a language partner?
Your Turkish pronunciation is really good 😊 Türkçe telaffuzun çok doğru
Thank you so much Zoe! This is very helpful! Can you make another video on how you learn German, what resources did you use and the tips of self-learning German?
This is a great video. I think the best way to start learning a new language is to just start and not fall into "tutorial hell". You'll figure out what works for you along the way, keep building on that.
So true 😢
Your filmmaking skills are growing really fast, love it 🖤
Step by step 😉😉😉
Greetings from all Syrians :-) We love you
God bless Syria 🕯️🙏
Hii Zoe. Could you please make a video on some good resources for learning French? I've been struggling to learn it for a while now and you videos give me so much motivation to pick it up again!
Next week
wow Zoe you explained everything very effectively. I felt like i was in a serious seminar while watching the video. çok teşekkürler =)
Hey, I always love watching your videos as someone who is becoming more interested in languages.
I hope this doesn't sound demeaning or rude because I mean it with the highest respect- your accent since your previous videos sounds nearly native! I'm astounded by how much you have improved the pronunciation of some words and it's really inspirational for my own improvement in languages. Thank you for these videos and much love
Because you guys encourage and help me a lot 🥰
I love Zoe's dress and british "o" sound.
오, 너무 멋져요,
나는 한국어를 배운 아랍 소녀입니다 🤍정말사랑합니다 ❤
Zoé can u do a vidéo for us where we’ll find all the resources to learn every single language u can speak and i’LL BE GLAD for ur help.
Hey you can check my post on the community, I have shared different ressources I use to learn languages
Just wondering. When will you so the Q and A video? I cannot wait. 😊 Thanks for this video full of good tips.
As a turkish I really like ur method and pronunciation :)
I love your content! I thank you so much for your great effort, hard work, positive attitude and real learning language. Sharing amazing experience and knowing culture of a country when you travel to target country, I love too!
I loveeee how you break it down!!! In a lot of details!!!
I have subscribed and will apply to my Chinese learning!
You're such a beautiful person, I love you❤ I have learned so many useful and interesting things from you. Keep going😘💗
I started learning farsi during lockdown to be able to communicate with my family in Iran.
I'm at B1 but I've gotten stuck since then.
I've been chatting with native speakers for a long time and learned new vocab and expressions along the way however, I don't really know how to get past this level.
For me getting started and getting past A levels have never been the struggle.
But to progress after B is my struggle.
Consistency, finding interesting content to listen/watch + small group or 1 on 1 courses could help you.
