    This is excellent. A few months ago I discovered reading while listening, and that has massively improved my French comprehension such that I can understand podcasts for natives and also some films. Before that I was just listening, and progress was much slower. Listening while reading trains the brain to recognise words. I’m getting a bit stuck with German (beginner A2). I find it much harder than French, as it is much more alien and less fluid. I have been doing mainly exercises i.e. translate back and forth, but progress has been slow. I recently started doing a lot more listening, both with and without a transcript. I’m pleased to see that you recommend this approach, so I hope progress might improve.

      It is one of the most powerful methods so just keep at it for German

      How to this method in details? should i listen first then repeat or repeat while the narrator speaks ?

      How can you listen while you're reading aloud?

    • @StillAliveAndKicking_
      @StillAliveAndKicking_ 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@Jesojojeso You don’t read aloud when listening. Just follow the transcript while listening. For German and French, I sometimes read the transcript, then read and listen simultaneously, then just listen. Do this many times for a given recording over a few days, weeks or months. I don’t know if there is any precise method. But make sure the input is appropriate for your level.

    I agree, I love dual language books too. And especially the combination between reading and listening. I also do writing whilst listening, meaning copying a given text for which I have audio. Or writing down from memory as you said, trying to memorise whole poems or other short texts, lyrics of songs.Handwriting a lot makes me retrieving and checking if I remembered correctly. And forme it isa fun activity which motivates me.

    It was interesting to hear the 3 methods and yes. I also agree that one can binge watch to fluency in the targeted language, one method that I also like to do for fun, is to imitate how one is speaking the language, for example the news readers in spanish, so when I hear them. I try to follow along and speak with the same speed and intonation.

    • @polyglotdreams
      @polyglotdreams  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks... that depends on which language you want to prioritize and how much time you can dedicate to doing it every day. The amount of time for each language doesn’t have to be equal, necessarily

    Thank you for another excellent video! Concerning dual-language books, I have several of them, but they never explain how to best use them. Audio aside, should you read through the book in the target language first and then check comprehension by reading in your native language? Or should you read it in your native language first so that you know what’s going on in the story before attempting the target language? Also, should you read the whole book through or go a chapter at a time? Or a paragraph at a time? Thank you again!

    • @polyglotdreams
      @polyglotdreams  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The answers to these questions all depend on your level in the language. If you can read in the target language and understand 90% then go ahead and read the whole chapter and check back on what you did not afterwards. Otherwise I would compare paragraph by paragraph until you understand it well. Repeatedly reading it produces the most learning.

    Just a quick note. In the video description the link for your academic CV does not work as there is a full stop at the end. Remove the full stop and it’s kosher. And the BBC link does not work at all. Sadly.

    I don't know but this is a wrong way to learn a language, cuz as we know the brain focuses on one thing (majority of the time, it focus on the easy thing) so mind focus on reading more than listening, cuz it finds it easy for him.
