Just a note regarding immersion, the process works and it does help you, but you have to take into account lexical similarities between your native language and the target language. A person who speaks Portuguese natively will have an easier time learning Spanish or French through immersion than a Japanese person doing the same or vice versa. If you are learning Finnish or Mandarin or Mongolian via immersion, do not feel bad if you can't read a classic novel after just 4 months. French shares about 70% lexical similarities with Portuguese and Spanish and around 90% with Italian. If your native language is a Romance language and you are trying to learn something outside the Romance language family, it will be a bit harder. In a nutshell, immersion works, but it works faster with languages that are related to yours. Do not feel discourage if your progress is slower, just keep pushing and you will make it through.
Perfect note, thank you Karu!
That is correct, it will always be different depending on the language you want to learn and the languages you already know. That is why there isn't an exact recipe, it will always depend on your needs, goals and your previous knowledge! Thank you for your insightful comment 🥰🥰
I'm Brazilian, hoping to have more fluent English. I love listening to you. Thanks
Don't give up on your studies, you will get there! 🥰🤩
To say short: immersion. You need to have that language around you every day
Perfect summary of the video! Thank you 😁😍
This is my first time finding this channel. I love it! 😊😊
What I love to do is: make my own vocabulary flash cards. But, the way I love to speak in any language is to use the English sentence structure with the language I am learning. But, others online have judge me for writing this way. But, those peopl,e do not understand. So, I can’t let what they say bother me but what I can do is this: learn a language the way I love to learn it😊😊 because this way works best for me
I have always had a love for Asian languages ever since I was a girl😊
I just feel that is where my heart is. I do not care for European languages😅
That is not where my heart is and I would not be honest with myself if I was to learn an European language.
Asian language = YES!! ❤❤
But, here is the thing: like for example, if I was to learn Japanese. I would want to write in Japanese only using romanization. But once again, many people mainly online who does not know me have judged me harshly saying I cannot write that way. :(
But, again. They do not understand 😊 I can write whatever way I love to write in any language. Who knows? Maybe, someday, I will someone who actually genuine appreciates how I write in a language. 😊😊 I also like talking to my puppy in a foreign language 😊😊
In a way I do like European languages. But, I haven’t found one I am interested in😅
I do have Eastern European and Asian ancestors. But, I have never explored Eastern European languages before…. So, I do not know what to expect 😅😅
Hi Kiki ! Thank you for sharing some of your strategies, they are so interesting! I especially love the idea of talking to a puppy in the language you are practicing. Pets are, indeed, great listeners and not judgmental at all, that's great for practice!! 🤩🤩
I love it that you know what you want and what works for you! Don't let other people tell you that your strategies are bad, because learning a language is a very personal and unique experience for everyone, you do what works for YOU!
I don't see the problem with learning to write Japanese with romanization... If it works better for your learning process and if it fulfills your personal goals then go for it! Aaaand if one day you decide to learn the Japanese writing systems you will be already one step ahead, which will be great as well! So don't worry, haters will hate but you got to do what makes you happy, motivated, and intellectually fulfilled 🥰🤓

So many to choose from. But, I worry I may choose the wrong language or maybe I am overthinking this?? I trust Jesus that He will help me learn the language 🥰🥰🥰
All of these seem like great options to choose from! Maybe to help you decide which language to learn try to ask yourself some questions to understand better what are your needs and goals in order to determine the best language (or languages) to start studying now. What are your goals with the language? Do you wish to travel somewhere in the future and use the language? Where? Do you wish to watch movies in the language? If so, which languages have the most movies available to you? Do you want to read books in the language? If so, what are your favorite authors and in what language did they write their books? Or are you just learning to feel closer to your ancestors? If so, which language was the most used in your family in the past? Which of these languages have a cultural background that interest you the most? Which language has the most available resources online to study? How long do you plan on studying it? Do you want to learn a language faster or you don't mind if it takes long? If the answer is faster then maybe choosing a language closer to your native language is the best way to go.
Reflect on these questions (and think of more aspects to consider if necessary), maybe your answers will help you choose the better option for now! 😀 Good luck on your studies! 🥰😘
@@Unbounded_education thank you so much. ☺️☺️
Thanks
Love you guys❤🫶🏾
thank you 😊 really helpful 😊just a quick question when it comes to review you sentences that you learned how do you do and how much time but i think go over what i learned is actually upmost important. I’ve been learning english foe one year by immersion whitout really reviewing them and I feel if i had reviewed them (anki-flash cards maybe) my english would have been richer than right now. what is your stand on it please i reckon people don’t really talk about go over our learning. do you think is the reason why i lack some words and relearn some of them because i haven’t seen them (i don’t know why but i don’t like review what i have already seen,listened and so on° i don’t eben know why and if it’s normal. some help hand please 😊have a wonderful weekend 😊
Hi Enory! Thank you for your comment, it is a great question!
First of all, I want to congratulate you on your English skills, you said you have been learning for only a year and you are already writing complex texts like that, that's impressive! You should be proud of yourself 👏👏
Secondly, since this is a great topic, I will make a video discussing review with more details to clarify this, but here's some advice to you:
To answer your question, it depends a lot from person to person. Some people find it helpful to review what they have learned regularly and other people prefer to practice more without going back to review "mechanically". The fact is that there isn't only one way of learning!
If anki cards and other memorization styles of reviews (like writing down notes and going over them, or writing sentences, conjugating verbs, etc) work well for you, that is great, so keep doing it! But if you haven't been doing these methods because they are not very exciting or motivating, there are other ways of reviewing specific concepts/structures.
When it comes to languages, one advantage is that by practicing using the language (by speaking, writing, listening or reading) you will be also reviewing at the same time, since you will encounter the concepts you already learned over and over again during your practice (like certain sentence structures, verb tenses, specific vocabulary, etc).
One interesting thing you can do to make some of your practice time also a review time is to have more "targeted practice". The targeted practice is different from general practice in the sense that it is not only about interacting with the language, but you choose specific types of material that will present an aspect of the language that you want to practice at that moment. Therefore, you can choose materials that have the aspects/concepts you want to review.
In order to choose material for targeted practice, you have to determine what you want to review and look for practices in which you will have no choice but to use that language aspect/concept/structure. For example: If you want to review the simple past tense, you can read a comic or an article that uses mainly the simple past tense (something that talks about past events), you can also write an essay about a past experience you have lived, or watch an interview with an actor talking about his/her past experience shooting a movie. Or if you want to review food vocabulary that you already learned, you can watch cooking shows, follow recipes in the target language, write your own recipes, follow nutritionists on social media, etc.
IF possible, as you interact with the targeted material, write down or just note mentally the verbs or sentence structures or words that are new to you or that you didn't know/didn't remember and had to research or that you used wrong, this way you will be (1) reviewing the concept/structure; (2) learning new and more complex details within this concept/structure; (3) correcting your mistakes and/or refining your understanding.
For these reasons, the targeted practice can be a more interesting, motivating and helpful way to review language concepts/structures than simply reviewing grammar rules or vocabulary lists mechanically.
But overall, it is absolutely natural that you will forget words and/or structures after you learn them, it is part of the process. As you encounter these words/structures more and more in your practice you will assimilate and memorize them naturally, but it does take time, so don't let that demotivate you! You are doing great! 🥳🥳
@@Unbounded_educationthank you 😊I really took some notes and will apply it on my daily learning journey. Have a wonderful day 😊 🌸
If you make a slight change to the pronunciation of your "T" sound, you will lose your Brazilian accent. If you need any help, let me know. Great video!
Hi Jonathan, thank you for your feedback! I am continually trying to improve my English pronunciation to be as clear as possible, so I appreciate your help. But I also don't want to lose my Brazilian accent completely, I am proud of it and I find it kind of cute actually hahaha 😁🤗 I am glad you like the video! 🥰
Good work
Just wanting to help your English fluency, I've been developing oral contractions tongue twisters for my English students. After practicing this page, they have found all native speach much more understandable and even begin to "nativize" their own pronunciation. Here's a sample: Ōrəl Kəntrăkshənz dīəkrĭtəkəl märks bī Jŏnəthən Mârk Wälsh ăz ŭv mĕĭ 2024
