    Hello and thanks for sharing this video!
    I've never thought about prioritising, even if I've been doing it indirectly for 2-3 months now. I'm listening to a lot of English materials, so setting a goal is really helpful. I've been struggling for years to learn English, but only last year I decided to do it more seriously by studying on my own. I even took an international exam, just to prove myself that I can do it. Therefore, I'm going to start learning German by myself (actually, I already started) by using this method. Thanks again

    The way I'm learning a new language is by going back to how everyone learns their Mother language.... By HEARING tons of words and sentences and singing the words or something similar (song lyrics get stuck in your head after learning the song)... After a year or so, THEN the majority of us learn the reading, then the writing.... But NOW, we are old enough to speed up that process a little faster than a toddler 🤜🤛

    I just started reading the first book of the Percy Jackson series in Swedish after studying for 3 months. With each chapter, I am writing down words I want to look up in a separate notebook. At the end of the chapter, I am looking the words up and noting a short meaning in the notebook. Good series nased on Greek mythology. I'll report back how it goes.

The second book I started reading and just immediately looking up words as I went, but I was much more confident and had to look up less words. Unfortunately I returned to my seasonal work by then, and I ran out of energy to read at all. I'm back on my winter break now, so I'm going to pick it back up, and thank you for the reminder! I have the whole series in Swedish so I will finish it eventually

    My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in
    California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

    "fun" sounds little strange here, but you should be able to feel the result and be consistent (keep learning even if you feel difficulties).
    so "fun" goes away, and satisfaction remains, it motivates you to learn farther (because satisfaction is equal to pleasure and you want to receive more of it).

    I think the idea that the learning must be “fun” is misleading and therefore unwise - imo “engaging” or “stimulating” is better because let’s face it - it’s not always fun!? BUT if it’s engaging and stimulating then we still enjoy it and continue

    After the 20 minutes you read and listen, do you go back and look up all the words you didn't know? I've found when I write in the book I end up "cheating" and just reading the English. I just picked up the first Harry Potter book and the accompanying audiobook in German. I've seen the little improvements you mention but still feel a bit overwhelmed, and don't like to move on with so many words I'm not retaining between sessions. While I'm in a formal class as well, I feel like I'm focusing on a lot of different parts of the language at the same time. Tips are appreciated!

    • @mothman84
      @mothman84 6 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      By that logic, isn't it even worse to have people PAY you to tell them they can do it by themselves? :) As someone who is very good at doing it by himself, I say let's be honest and realistic about this. They don't tell you you can do it yourself because most learners already know they _could_ do it by themselves _in theory,_ but then they find that they _can't_ do it themselves _in practice._ For most learners, the wonders of self-study are rather underwhelming. There are the good students at the top, and then there are all the others. These others -- who by definition need more help and guidance -- can't make progress just with a few tutorials, a good pep talk, and a pat on the back.

    • @abdeljabar88
      @abdeljabar88 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well the thing is if I am an instructor, I'd have people enroll for a period of time, teach them the basics and then have them continue on their own. I wouldn't have them keep coming back. And I don't think most people think they can do it by themselves. Most believe learning languages is a myth.

    • @mothman84
      @mothman84 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      To address your original point, there is no conspiracy to keep the industry of language teaching running at the expense of some simple but hidden truth about language learning. Most students, by the simple fact that they ask a teacher to teach them, are defining themselves as being in need of something more than just a _Do It Yourself_ kit, however great it may be. For the purposes of presentation, she exaggerates the _Aha!_ moment students experience when they "find out" that they are responsible for their own learning, and that they are going to have to do most of the work by themselves and of their own initiative. That's a very open secret to most university students. Sadly, the desire to do something does not also imply the ability to do it.

    • @abdeljabar88
      @abdeljabar88 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I agree on the fact students wanting teachers to help and paying for that. There is no problem with that. The problem for me is most textbooks drag the learning process on... You could find yourself bombarded with too much stuff you won't be using in real life. If teachers or those who prepare textbooks focus on usefulness I'd be happy. I actually skip most of the stuff in textbooks when I'm learning by myself. I'd love to hear your experience. I am open and willing to learn :)

    • @mothman84
      @mothman84 6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Boredom can be a huge turn-off. I started having fun with my second language - English - when I started watching cartoons, TV shows, and movies in English with English subtitles. I had the audio, and I had the text to go with it. By studying the dialogues in great detail, I moved from B2 to native-like in about 1500-2000 hours of input. That's not the only thing I did, of course. I'm familiar with many methods and techniques, good and bad textbooks, etc. I helped a few adult learners out too. They are generally quite satisfied with the results, way beyond their initial expectations. Still, I see no miracles occurring. I show them how to study, how to pick input that is interesting for them, how to tackle it, etc., but then they need to _do the studying!_ Their results come slowly, and many give up in the mid/long-term, especially if I'm not there - say, at least on a weekly basis - to provide constant encouragement and positive reinforcement.

  • @Kyoto99952
    @Kyoto99952 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Haven’t yet stumbled on a polyglot who surprised me. Everyone is happy to share proudly that they can “speak” 5 languages, 7 languages, 15 languages, the more the better it seems! Next week Arabic and Chinese at the same time lol. No but seriously I haven’t seen a more profound example of quantity over quality. I didn’t come here to hate but it’s simply not true. They cannot actually speak the language. Unless we have very different definitions of “polyglot”, “to speak a language”, “fluently”. Because to “speak” means just saying the phrases you have memorized of the language without having to give a reply mid way through or what? Right? Haha.. I can just see when the play button gets pressed and it rolls out like a cassette tape. I just want to see a real polyglot have real random but non-standard conversations with people in their native language. And I want to see how that communication goes. I want a polyglot to read a novel in a foreign language and tell me what it is about. Polyglots never get criticized because who would even know 2-3 phrases in each of the other languages to test it out? You could be saying bunch of things that don’t make sense. That’s why I’m doing it. The term polyglot is abused. It basically means racing from one language to another by memorizing just enough what is relevant, for others to believe you actually speak the language.

    The secret of polyglots: they started off by learning a few languages very well and impressing people, and as time went on, they put more and more pressure on themselves to study more languages, overestimating their abilities more with each language. Finally, having split their attention so much between so many languages, and having created an illusion of being a polyglot, they spend the rest of their time trying to prevent others from realizing how poorly they speak the languages that they studied later, as opposed to how good they were at the languages they first started learning. Finally, the illusion of being fluent in 20 languages collapses and they have to admit that it's not humanly possible to be fluent in 20 languages.

      I think it’s fine to know a variety of languages to different ability levels - so long as we are honest about our abilities and limits then we can learn as many as we enjoy . Oh yeah plus it’s rare I’ve heard any polyglot actually call themselves one - it’s a label others give them

      @@mulinghe7182 this is the deaf sound. Everybody says "seGodnya", but some people can pronounce it without expression, swallowing the letter and you wrongly can don't hear the letter. For example "Солнце(The sun)" you can hear as "Сонце", but nobody says "Сонце", you just can wrongly hear this because the sound is deaf

      Sorry, but I comletely disagree with the assumption above. Ukrainian is an entirely different language comparing to Russian. Perhaps these languages have a similar roots but sounding isn't the same. Morover Ukrainian is considered to be more sophisticated and mellifluous. Anyway I think any language could be mocked or abused.
