My method is more hollistic. I don't exclude any learning method. I do anki, I read, I listen, I talk to myself, I record myself, and I follow a course. But above all, I am passionate about the language, which keeps me motivated to keep on doing all of the above ;)
What languages are you studying
We gotta team up and practice it together
@@mateusfernandes3365 I don't like studying multiple languages at a time. I'm devoting all my free time to French at the moment :)
@@chrolka6255 génial, j'apprends le français aussi haha bonne chance
Et tu as complètement raison ! Je me trompe peut-être... mais je crois bien que c'est la bonne approche à l'apprentissage. Exploiter l'effet de richesse de l'encodage et ne pas se limiter à une seule méthode.
in brief:
n this video, Lucas, a language coach who speaks 14 languages, shares three strategies to memorize foreign language words and expressions quickly and easily:
1-Learn vocabulary through repeated exposure to the right content. Focus on content that is rich, comprehensible, and compelling. This allows you to learn words in context, making them easier to memorize.
2-Use your listening skills to learn and review. Engage in both new content and re-listening to previous content at random intervals, strengthening memory through spaced repetition.
3-Use new vocabulary for meaningful communication. Engage in smart review by actively using learned words in communication with others, either verbally or in writing.
Your resume in brief: Put new words in application.
I have never used flashcards voluntarily, it used to be a pain at school, so I prefer using comprehensible input that I am interested in (music, films, TH-cam videos, adapted books...). To be fair, I do not have the widest vocabulary, but I can communicate in several languages and I am happy with my levels :)
hi, @couch Polyglot,
if you don’t use flash cards to stick your words in long-term how do you do for recall them and stick them in your lon-memory?
have a good day
@@enory5983 if you hear them often enough they stick, that is how kids do it. I guess very rarely used words do not stick with this method, but that is fine with me 😁
@@CouchPolyglot i see, thanks ☺️
I have always found that there is only one kind of word that can be learned from flashcards - and that nouns for physical objects. If something can be depicted with a picture, then it can be learned in an abstract way without context. Otherwise I find I need to learn it as part of a passage.
Hello +Couch Polyglot . I do share this approach. Flashcards it's the bad good idea to me (I don't say that can be the same for anyone), more time doing it than for learning, often word alone and not targeted vocab, if sentences : why not using entences of apps which are doing the same? I prefer writing some lexicon and sentences in my copy-book, it's more efficient, for me.
I learned Latin by this method, using Caesar's De Bello Gallico as my 'meaningful context' for vocabulary. I went through all 7 books of DBG in intensive detail over a period of about 2 years. It helped that I am obsessed with the subject matter, so it was never a chore for me. I think that's key, too: Being GENUINELY interested in the target language for some reason.
I used to make a card for every word I encountered in my target language to help with recognition. After a successful yet tedious year of almost 2500 words I decided to switch to only using SRS for words I'm consistently struggling to recall in conversation, and instead try to reinforce my passive vocabulary through context and repeated listening. Great advice as always.
That's a great strategy! I think 2,500 words in one year via flashcards would probably burn most people out, including me! 😵💫I also try to use Anki more selectively to practice vocab, expressions, sentence structures, and verb conjugations that I want to be able to recall correctly and more quickly in conversations. I especially try to take sentences that my tutor corrected me on or ideas that I just learned how to say and put them on flashcards. It does help!
@@rashidah9307 It's about 7 new words a day. Quite manageable if you have a solid routine and a little practice making effective flashcards.
@@vaxrvaxr I've been using Anki for over 2 years, and I have a solid habit of reviewing every day. These days I add about 60-70 cards per month and that still leaves me with some days where I have to review 65+ cards in a day. For me, that's about my limit, as I can review that many while I take a short walk in my neighborhood. It gets boring and tedious beyond that for me. I tried pushing myself closer to 100 cards per month last fall, and I got really burned out. But I believe that, for you, it's realistic and achievable and I know other people like you. ☺But I would prefer to do other activities, as well, such as speaking practice, reading, and watching vlogs and TV shows.
What is a SRS?
@@asyl_ali It stands for spaced repetition system. It's a way of memorizing information and getting it into your long-term memory.
Great video. I became fluent in Japanese through a combination of thousands of hours of listening and reading and creating over 15000 anki audio cards of difficult sentences i encountered while immersing. Definitely recommend a mix of immersion and srs for those harder to learn, less common words. For Japanese learners, getting a tutor and practicing output is not at all important until you have reached a high level in the language. I see too many beginners throwing their money away hiring tutors on italki for output practice when they only know 100 words. That time is much better spent getting more input and building your vocabulary (at least in Japanese, this could be different depending on the language?)
Thanks for the kind words Krzysztof! =)
What is a SRS?
@@asyl_aliSpaced Repetition Software
Thank you Luca for making this incredible video! This is more or less my approach too, but you explain it so much better :) In practice, I read a lot, and always use a pencil to make annotations; then I regularly go through those annotations and tell myself stories featuring the words and expressions that I underlined.
Great job, Luca. I will employ some of these techniques for my theology students learning ancient Greek! Not just vocab lists, but reading and re-reading a few key texts. I do this already with the Lord's prayer and a few other short texts. Need to do more of this and with some longer texts.
I use Anki, but instead of just adding the new word by itself, I add a sentence with that word in it, so that I'll have the advantage of Spaced Repetition plus always seeing the word in context. And then of course over time I'll add more sentences with that word and mix words up inside more complex sentences.
Excellente ideas to follow!! Thank you very much❤
Gracias por tus excelentes consejos como siempre. Saludos!.
Brilliant video methods you have mentioned practically works and helpfup
Thank you Very much Mr. Lampariello!
I have dabbled in about 10 languages using these methods (just because it’s the way that I approach learning anything, dynamically) but I have always felt that I was doing it “wrong” because 99% of the population does it their own plodding way, which is so ineffective and dull for me that I was often in tears.
So I just gave up wanting to feel “normal” and defaulted to my own methods.
Im 60 years old and now seriously learning 4 languages and I really needed these reassurances today, I thank you again.
One more reminder for me to stop dependency on approval from others or the status quo to assure me that my own methods are “good enough”
Ironically people often tell me that I’m “so smart” and I don’t buy that personally because I’ve just done what has come naturally to me. Im intensely curious, which has been my biggest asset to learning. Im not really what you’d call a reader but I research and learn for hours everyday. I always say that I’m not a reader because I don’t feel like one, I’m just doing the things that I enjoy and reading is part of finding out what I want to know 😎😏
Vraiment, merci infiniment
Smart people never feel being smart. When you tell me that you can speak 10 languages and currently learning in your 60 another 4, I recognize a genius when I see it. 😉 Well done! I wish I had your discipline and mental strength. 👏👏👏
I used to use Anki years ago but stopped because it’s yet another screen to look at, and I agree with Luca that there are other approaches that are superior and more engaging.
Thank you very much Luca, great

Thank you so much Luca Lampariello for this video!! I learning english and you inspire me!
Thank you for the kind words!
thank you once again Master!
for keep inspiring me to pursue my linguistic goals 😎🤟
I use mnemonics. They are a powerful tool if used correctly and combined with input
Latvia 🇱🇻 here! Luca big respect!
Hugs from Italy! 🙂
Although Anki can be helpful, I personally find it somewhat boring after a period time. Reading or listening in the context these new vocabs are used I find to be more fun, engaging, and efficient, while also allowing yourself to learn/pick up new terms! Great video, Luca!
Well said Ruby! And thanks for the nice words =)
I do my Anki cards while I'm taking a walk in my neighborhood, and I make my own flashcards. So they're all word chunks or whole sentences from conversations that I've had with a tutor or friend or that I pulled from something interesting that I watched. I wish it were easy to find comprehensible materials for every language that is also engaging! Not the case for the language that I'm studying.
@@rashidah9307 good point 👍🏼
I've briefly tried to use Anki for building vocabulary, but I agree it doesn't work really well. It takes time to put words in with their meaning, and it is very boring to review them !
However I think it's a good tool for learning dates and simple facts.
I've stuck to using the app and tested several types of card and information I would try to review and I believe I've gotten the hang of it now and my flashcards are getting easier, faster and more fun to review.
@@Dilouchka Yeah, there's no one system that everyone will like! 🙂I actually use Anki in the opposite way--for phrases and sentences. But I'm using it to learn a language with very different sounds, so I need the practice of not only recalling but also using my muscles in my mouth and throat to practice pronunciation. . . At some point in real language learning, you have to do something that's somewhat boring or repetitive--whether that's re-reading a story, listening to a podcast multiple times, or doing flashcards of some kind. I usually review my cards while I'm out walking in my neighborhood, and it only takes me about 15 minutes to review 50 cards.
Great video! I agree that Anki can be boring, and learning vocabulary from interesting content is always preferable. I have learned 4 languages, appart from English, my mother tongue, and I have only used spaced repetition system (SRS) with Japanese, in order to learn the kanji. Wanikani does a great job of combining mnemonics and SRS to drill the kanji into your brain. I wish it weren't true, but I'm convinced that there really is no way to learn kanji that doesn't involve a certain amount of pain.
I always learn something new from you.
Thank you luca for the tips
Thank you for the kind words Santagio!
Long live Luca Lampariello 💙

Glad you like the video! And yes, those small notebooks..a real game changer!
@@LucaLampariello would be awesome if you made a video showing and explaining how you use them!

So nice to see you back in a real space vs the blank white wall. ONe thing Luca check the focus on your camera it seems a bit off.
Thanks for the feedback, as always! And glad to hear you like the new background :-)
Hello from uzbekistan
Luca mądry jak zawsze ;)
great! Listening flash cards, is similar to imagine a word, I believe in your method. I bet for it!
Finding graded reading with easier texts is much harder than people think, except maybe in the major popular languages...
Read unknown word in news, comics or novels, search for it in a monolingual or learners dictionary and read it out loud in the original context.
Good tips.

Hello, could you pls give me some advice on how to improve my vocabulary for the Celpep exam? Which books, podcasts, or videos to watch. Thank you
Luca a maioria dos seus vídeos que assisto é tudo em inglês só que detesto inglês mais muito obrigado mesmo assim
Music is one of the best ways to learn languages that doesn't seem to get as much attention. It's not that you can only listen to a band singing in some other language and learn the language, but it's a way to drill words into your head without flashcards. K-Pop is helps people learn Korean. And I've seen this with the band I follow in Sweden with people from dozens of countries singing along in Swedish. Perhaps it's not "in context" but a podcast isn't in context either if it's words you'll use as a tourist trying to navigate a city. You can't listen to the same podcast 100s of times, but you can listen a song over and over.
Yes, I agree 100%. When I was learning French in high school years ago (1970s)I was always listening and trying to transcribe the lyrics of songs in my spare time. It really helped me learn so many words. And after highschool, I was at a B1 level ready to continue my language learning journey.
That's wrong.
music is AWFUL
or use the carrot technique - Every day eat a raw carrot and at the same time read 5 chapters of a good book, repeat every day for 1 year, always changing the book, of course.
Another idea for smart review is Boris Shekhtman's idea of Language Islands. These are well-rehearsed, personalised dialogues on topics that come up regularly in conversation - your family, home, work, hobbies and interests. They can start very simple, and you can incrementally enrich them as your knowledge grows. By revisiting regularly to enhance them, you quickly become fluent in these key areas of conversation.
gracis por los consejos, pero yo me gusta tambien revisar trajetes de palabras, tengo dificit de antecion y para mi es mas dificl cocenterme con largos textos, revisar unas palabras es para mi como la meditacion, tambien me gusta crear las asoaciones graciosas y asi moy facil recordar, y no se nesicite reptiar mocho, bastante una o dos veces
I would love to try this method but I'm afraid that I would get wrong meaning of words only from the context. Because some words can be very nuanced.
hi sir i've already learned english and learning russian i aspire to get my english to advanced level this year
and for me i get vocabulary in some way
my methad is easy and it's three stages to be able to use the word rightaway when you need it
without further adue i read lots of content for example a book in english
so i come across a new word that i never came across before so i look it up just to know the meaning then i go on
i come across it again and again everytime i look it up and that's the first stage
the second one that i don't remember the word when i wanna use it but if i come across it through something i directly understand it
and i go on and the last stage is when i'm free without any material i can remember it wheather through a convresation or just with myself
so the whole idea is that i just expose myself to the language and translate until i become able to use it by time
Luca, una pregunta si yo leo y no copio las palabras desconocidas, pero si las busco en el diccionario y sigo leyendo sin repasar esas palabras que me encuentro. ¿puedo adquirir vocabularios con ese método o no me funcionará?
hi Luca
I actually like the easy ways to learn a new vocabulary
I don't like to learn vocabulary with flashcards that is Inaccurate 😢 you won't know when and have the confidence to apply these words.
On the other hand, that it irrelevant since we couldn't enjoy the process.
Learn new vocabulary using flashcard is like to be drop in the water 💦
What about noting every new word in a list while you read from a dictionary? Is it better or just read like that?
I don't like the last activity, it looks too much like homework to me, but the 2 others are very interesting. I learn mainly with audio, text, and subtitles, and very early in the process..
I have to disagree with the recommendation to re-listen to old podcasts instead of using Anki. This might work if you have an incredible memory (which you probably do, since you've managed to learn 14 languages), but for the rest of us, the brilliance behind Anki is that it enables you to get learn and retain huge amounts of information in a way that's much more efficient than most of us could every come up with on our own. I know for myself, I simply don't have the memory to learn new vocab efficiently by haphazardly listening to old material. I agree that re-listening to old podcasts is amazing for improving contextual understanding, but for me and I'm sure for many others, if I had to choose one over the other for effectiveness and efficiency, it would be Anki all the way. What I do is add phrases containing a novel word to Anki. That way I essentially memorize the phrase that the new word is in and learn the context. I find it helpful to try to condense the phrase as much as possible, so my brain isn't bogged down with a complex context when trying to learn a new word, but I still get a contextual understanding of novel vocabulary. This method takes a bit more time than adding a single word, but like you said, it helps so much with the word sticking in your head.
the lack of compelling comprehensible input material is the reason I still lean on less effective methods. I'm hoping chatgpt (or some type of similar AI) will fix this huge gap
Second to comment here.
It's Very good to learn with a polyglot
Actually, if you know how to use Anki appropriately, it can help you to do all these things Lucas mentioned in the video. They complement each other, rather than exclude each other.
Luca, I'm really curious how you apply these ideas to a language like Serbian with few resources to choose from. I saw you in a Language Boost video talking about how a friend helped you make learning materials. . . I'm learning Jordanian Arabic, and there isn't a whole lot of comprehensible input for someone below a high intermediate level. And really not so much content in general available with translation or transcription of any kind. . . I use Anki every day but not the way you've described. I take phrases and sentences that I've learned in my lessons with my tutor, or from a friend or a TV show or story. This way I have the context, I'm practicing at least one correct way to use a word/phrase, and I'm not learning words in isolation. Also, I add clipart and I speak my answers out loud to practice my pronunciation. And I can usually remember where/how/why I learned most of the vocab and grammar that I know, which is cool!
Would you please do a video on how to learn languages with fewer resources? It's a whole different ball game and not enough people address it. Thanks for all you do!
listen to the pop songs (they are the easiest way into the culture in the target language )in the target language or watch the daily news videos , audio books on TH-cam. The resources are just in the virtual world, with easy access. Google them!
I don't learn a rare language for now, but maybe later I'll learn Georgian, it's almost impossible to find videos with subtitles in this language, so I'm interested in that subject too.
I am visually impaired and I have wanted to learn Spanish for a long time I have taken notes of everything that has helped me this video has helped me in a lot of ways because it has taught me what I need to do to make learning more fun but I do have one question even though I don’t go visit or talk to my dad that much I don’t want him to find out about this until I’m fluent because I have tried to learn Spanish countless times so if you can give me a suggestion on what could help me keep that secret from him I would love your advice thank you and good luck with learning any languages that you’ve not learned I wish that for everyone who sees this comment
hi bro i'm like you but i'm fully blind and actually i wanted to learn spanish long ago but what prevents me as you know that tts engines if you already use screen reader well they don't distinguish the languages that use latton writing system for example if i wanna read some spanish text it reads it by the english voice so i have to swich to spanish voice whenever i wanna read some material in spanish and it doesn't discover it automatically like with arabic and russian the other two languages that i use so if you have some solution for my issue i'll be greatful
and i use NVDA with vocalizer
thanks
Sorry dude, just looked you up on Facebook, found your dad and told him your secret 😢
Great video, thank you so much for the practical tips. What percentage of the new material should be comprehensible? Thank you in advance for your response! Rebecca from Los Angeles
All of it =)
There are 2 options:
1. Comprehensible material.
The material comes with audio in your target language and scripts with your target language and your native language (or a language you know well)
2. Partially comprehensible material.
The material coms with audio and scripts in your target language only.
In that case, you can use translation tools to create your own bilingual version of the scripts (Google Translate, DeepL, ImTranslator etc)
Hope this helps =)
L
@@LucaLampariello Thank you so much for the response. I have heard people say that you should understand at least a certain percentage of the words for it to be comprehensive, for exaple at least 70% and then you would look up the other 30%. It sounds like you do not have a stance on a specific percentage of words that you should already know?
@@RQF5961 the ideal is to undertand enough words to guess the meaning of the ones you don't know. The percentage of known words one needs to do that vary from person to person, I believe.
That's what I keep hearing from expirienced learners.
Então Meu caro amigo Luca eu recomendo muito a pessoa estudar E ter um alvo forte na língua de aprendizagem
Hi Luca. When I saw the video in the side bar of TH-cam, I thought, "Hey! Here's a video about vocabulary. Let me check it out. And what a surprise to see my favorite polyglot!! Your courses are awesome, you know your stuff, and I just get enough of your knowledge. If I ever come to Italy, I want you teach me how to eat spaghetti with a spoon! Jaime
Thanks Jaime! Thanks for the kind words and the enthusiasm! Always nice to see you in our monthly zoom meetings :--)
For me, flashcards have worked a lot. That being said I do study phrases, not just single words and I do a mixture of Anki with Assimil and other content, using TTS for the audio or Assimil audio.
That being said, this video is great as I've found new ideas here for my studies of Ukrainian.
Bitte geben Sie manche Ideen für unseren Lernmaterial selbst zu sammeln vom Internet (Total Kostenlos), obwohl wir nicht so viel über die Sprache wissen.
I'm still waiting for a meaningful advice for a complete beginner.
The only thing I find helpful is to listen vocabulary and phrases in TH-cam (learn while you sleep etc) while I craft or do the dishes: they often contain phrases I have already learnt, useful as a review, and lots of knew phrases: I find that when the same words or phrases come up in my study, I will retain them faster, even though I haven't tried to memorize them from the videos.
As a language teacher at a public school I do object to the criticism voiced against foreign language teaching as apparently practiced at schools. We also emphasize the importance of meaningful contexts and advise against meaningless repetitive learning. Thus, while I generally speaking find your tips useful, I would prefer if you didn’t cast such a bad light on foreign language teaching. On the contrary, l think that especially for beginners textbooks offer content that is not only meaningful but can also be comprehended by those learners.
The problem with learning in context is that unless the grammar is known, the context will not be properly understood.
I'm going to test it and I hope it works, cuz I'm really tired of useing anki, even though I learnt alot with it 😅
I don't use any special methods anymore. I just read a books, watch many videos and play video games. I study English, French and Ukrainian now and I have many time for it
I can only do flexilize. Because I can import cards way easier than on Anki. It's a hate-love relationship. I just know Anki is crap, super dull...
You go on refold and it's holy water for them. It's only useful if the word you're trying to learn doesn't come up as often as basic vocab.

Merhaba Luka (luca spells in Turkish) Nasılsın? Türkçe biliyormusun? Eğer istersen sana bedelsiz öğretmek isterim . Böylelikle bende ingilizce pratik yapmış olurum.
I still find flashcards useful, but I never learn vocabulary. Instead, on the front I write a sentence with a gap and its translation into my native language, and on the back I write which parts of the sentence should fill the gap.
谢谢您的分享！您的方法比传统的死记硬背好多了，不过我感觉语言还是和天赋有一些关系？我非常感兴趣的电影/电视剧只要是纯英文没有中文字幕的，我只能专注跟随五分钟左右，大脑就逐渐停止转动了。如果有中文字幕，我才能很流畅的看完一整部。看小说也是这样T.T 我并不排斥英语，也在努力的学，但大脑总是一两个小时就累得关机。My brain is going to explode after studying English hard.😅
By the way , is there anyone want to be my language exchange partner? I’m looking for a friendly person who really wants to learn a language.Thanks.😊
Hi, i'd like to be your partner from english (i'm brazilian and i'm learning english around 1 year and 7 months)
About your problem reading novels, i'm the opposite cuz i learned english to read my books and novels, i take advantage of my free time to read it for hours but my speaking needs to be developed yet
I never used flash cards because that was way too much work for my taste.I simply write down words in a notebook and try to incorporate them straight into active use. Also I enjoy language and always seem to memorize words easily.
the funny part is when you realize you did all of the things mentioned above casually while learning english and somehow intuitively.
Luca, you're one of my favourite people out there. So keep this in mind and that's why I'm telling you this: your English accent's got worse. I know it may not be your ultimate goal to keep it 'awesome' all the time, but, honestly speaking, it may influence your audience, even subconciously.
Hope you've noticed that too.
And the video, of course, + ;)
Interesting, but how do you find the right content for a level of learning?
Great idea for a new video!
Ye but how do you apply that to when u Just started learning a new language and have 0 vocabulary to be able to listen to these comprehensible inputs?
Good point! I think this technique is for expanding your vocab, not building it from scratch.
still you need to listen repeatedly to the contents"in the context", even if they are just grammatical sentences
@@rashidah9307 and thats why i have to use flash cards
@@samiier3324 Don't use the flashcards. I have the similar viewpoint as Luca's. I'd rather listen to the sentences listed in the "coursebook", or watch the teaching videos made by the native speakers and in 3-4 months finish "the grammatical courses". Later on, I would watch the videos for 300 vocabulary (in contexts), 500 vocabulary, 1000, vocabualry, 2000, 3000, and so on, and small everyday conversaions and listen to dozens of pop songs in the target languages to get acquainted with the basic word power and grammar. That's how I did with French, Italian, and German in a year.

I bough one book of you but it's already 10 years ago.
How come you haven't done a video with Stuart Jay Raj ? I would have assumed you guys would have done one together by now. I'm guessing you're both too busy.😅😊
Also for 'smart review' engaging in target language comment sections e.g. here on you tube. Which is likely to be a video with content of interest to you, where you want to know what the other native speaker commenters are discussing. Not only is it a great place to employ your learned words and phrases, but a place to learn 'real world' examples also in context.
You don't need to "waste time" creating flash card decks. They're available online. I don't know why he keeps overlooking this in his videos.
They are. But are they good enough?...
Well, we don't need tens of thousands of words to learn a language. Probably (the correct) 3,500 word is enough to understand 95% of words we'll come across.
Soooo... vocab list transformed to sentence or conversation, recorded and listen often enough. Or podcast at your level or slightly above it. But more importantly, using the vocabulary to actually ingrain it into one's brain.
Interesting...
I hope all of you understand how lucky to you are to be studying a language which has documentation and offers many input resources. I am helping revive our Native California Ohlone language. What we have are the notes that were taken down by Spanish speakers. So we must create all the tools. 🙏🏽
What Luca says has been said in many other videos, more or less. To get this subject further, anyone of the polyglots should learn a language like yours, without ressources, without bilingual books, without videos plus subtitles, without intrinsic grammar, without word lists, etc. and then tell us about their experiences. Good luck for your hard , but interesting and finally and on the way rewarding work. I I know to a lesser account what you are talking about. Since a few years I am learning Basque, took me a few years to find any ressources, videos usually have if any Spanish subtitles, memrise APP vocabulary lists have 99% no pronounciation, etc. and where I live I have no one to talk to, and Corona interrupted travelling.
I'm not sure taking advice from a person who can speak 14 languages is a good idea because he is obviously gifted, and no matter what method he used, he'd probably be able to learn the language anyway, even inspite of the deficiencies in the method he uses.
I'd be more interested in a person with average language learning skills who masters a language, as that probably more my pace.
1:45 are you learning Turkish?:)
I will start in January 2023. I toyed with ASSIMIL Turkish for the sake of this video as well as a few other special demo videos on how I use ASSIMIL 🙂
@@LucaLampariello That's wonderful, I began learning Turkish three months ago, it's pretty difficult, but interesting.
@@renatnurgaleev3155Turkish native here, if you guys have questions, just get in touch! I live abroad so in order to stay in touch with Turkish, I watch a very famous journalist who streams daily: Cuneyt Ozdemir, you can check out his TH-cam channel here: www.youtube.com/@cuneytozdemir
There's no reason none of ths could be done in a SRS system or using SRS to back up what you're learning. When you're so caught up in shaming something instead of making it work for you is counter-productive. Limiting your tools just because is a fool's game.
are you learning Turkish ?
Not yet. Soon!
14 languages??????????????????????????????????????? Chapeau!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
would be nice to have a list ;-) and also indication what languages have been learned at school, at young age. So if you have learned a germanic, romance and slavic language (one of them including your mother tongue maybe) to some extent already its easier to expand.
Sure..but the problem is to find the content😅
Yes Lucia! Which language are you learning right now if I may ask?
@@LucaLampariello right now my focus is on English
These are good suggestions, but the video falls into the same trap that’s common with these types of learning videos: they argue against a straw man. I can’t comment on Luca’s personal experience learning languages in school, but it’s nowhere near common practice for schools to say “write down this word and repeat it over and over. The end.” Most language classes now involve students speaking and writing to use their new vocabulary, read and hear it in context, and revisit it frequently. This also speaks to the other trap of assuming high school language classes are the same as they were a decade ago or longer when most of the presenters were actually in high school.
So, good tips that are useful, but not really contrary to language classes.
You speak fast!!!
He ALWAYS goes over the "what" but NEVER the "how" or "where"..........
only blablabla. There is "no best method" use what you like and have fun with it
Amen ;-)
@@LucaLampariello ok I am a little bit provocative . But I learnt several languages without thinking about the "right" method.
A bit drawn out your exposé
you are giving us basic tips that everyone knows about. so when will you share the real memorizing techniques for learning a language
