宁与外邦，不予家奴😢我爱我的国，可谁爱我呢？说什么姓资姓社、封建、宗教，还不是像更原始一点的奴隶社会😅

Guys who want to learn Turkish, I can help you, but I also want to learn English. maybe we can help each other

Kazuさん日本語も喋れるなんてすごい！

Now, you have learnt Arabic language, you should become Muslim and read the "Corano" if you want to be a perfect Arabman.😂

I, too, have experienced this productive dormancy. It's analogous to the 'dark phase' of photosynthesis. They're both anabolic! BTW: I'm enjoying LingQ!

Can be fun learning a language you choose to learn. How well you succeed is irrelevant. End of story

I have finished the whole German course on Duolingo and it was a mediocre experience for me. The level that you reach is not impressive, you will learn something but I believe there are better, more efficient ways to spend your time on a language.

What a shame learning all these languages and not learning the language of the Quran ARABIC !!

The plot twist at the end 🤣🤣🤣

You can do the same with Lingopie which is more professional looking then lingq

Can I use japanese form zero to learn japanese

Good point, it's just not worth it anymore

such a good analogy

I know when I have learned a word because I noticed myself identitying it in several contexts. Most of the time it happens naturally, first with reading it and later in listening content. It is a nice feeling, it makes me feel I am learning. When I become advance and my base knowledge of the language is large, I start learning less unless it is specialist language, at that point I know I am fluent in that language. I am a Spanish native, fluent in English, advance in Italian and French begginer. I use lingQ, duolingo, linkpie, helloTalk, preplay, Netflix, audible, podcast and any other form of content that I can access. I enjoyed learning and teaching languages. And I like to listen Steve talking about language acquisition.😊

Thank you very much for a brilliant video. I turned 66 a week ago. 3.5 months ago, I started learning Chinese Mandarin, and I'm about to finish HSK2. My two native languages are Russian and Ukrainian, and I learnt English as a foreign language at school. I was passionate about English and made it my life profession. At university, I learnt German and Latin. Later in life, I was exposed to Italian, Spanish, Korean, Polish, and Hindu, as well as two native languages of Zimbabwe - Shona and Ndebele. And now, at the age of 66, Chinese Mandarin. I believe and speak from personal experience that age is nothing but a number, especially when it comes to learning languages. Passion, desire and curiosity - is all that is needed and available time will appear like magic. At the age of 26, I used to teach Russian to native English speakers. One of my students was a 77-year-old lady who was the most diligent student.

Love how you don't rely on just one thing to learn!

Duolingo is the gate to the hell of learning a language I personally use Duolingo for about 4month to learn Japanese, it's a great way to teach you about Hiragana and Katakana in general But Duolingo is not perfect, it teaches you broken pronounciation, since all their audio are computer generated so i wouldn't recomend to use Duolingo And some vocab or sentences that UNNATURAL, doesn't make sense or no real life usage, like for example i got a sentences in Japanese "I cut my hand with a knife" like who use that sentences in real life lol In conclusion, Duolingo teaches you that learning a new language is fun for beginner. But not geared towards medium and advanced learner

Arabic is not hard. It’s structured. ALL Arabic words are derived from the root verb (simple past tense) For example: طار Tar means to Fly طير Tayr means a bird طيار Tayyar means Pilot طيارة Tayyarah means aeroplane طيران Tayaran means flying So it’s relatively easy to build a vocabulary Grammar is also structured and if you like math you will easily pick up Arabic grammar. Most learners struggle with learning to write and read the text because they are not used to the alphabet and how letters connect or do not connect. So it’s easier to speak Arabic than read it and write it

Duolingo is a game. That's the problem. All language "teaching" only comes second there and then it's drip fed via multiple-choice, which basically makes it easier to be correct. That merely motivates people to do more Duolingo instead of learning the language outside of it and I think that's a problem. Because people will automatically be pushed back to Duolingo when they try to use the language outside of it, as they might think they don't understand enough and judge this as a "I need to learn more first! I can manage Duolingo quizzes after all!" Sure. You can pick up a few words there. It's hard not do when you understand messages in a language. But it's so extremely inefficient that you are better off using other resources. Because even if you only have 5 to 15 minutes a day - in which case you would need to be honest to yourself and accept that you probably won't get very far with learning even if you keep at it for a few years - you could simply use those 15 minutes to read a simple book in the language you are learning instead or do Anki to learn some previously mined vocabulary with cards which can include sound and pictures. The major takeaway here is merely that Duolingo doesn't actively hurt your endeavour to learn a language (unless it's something which is way different from your mother tongue). But it also doesn't really help you noticably. It just wastes time for a small endorphine rush. And if I want that I might play a real game instead.

Good video ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I was about 12 when I read a book on how Heinrich Schliemann, the discoverer of Troy, learned languages. He was kind of a language maniac (for his time), having learned some twelve languages or so, and what distinguished him from other "polyglots" at the time is the fact that he would not just speak, but also write in those languages. His method, long before Stephen Krashen's comprehensible input gift to the world, was something that can only be called... hum, comprehensible input, I guess. What he did was using a book, mostly novels, along with its translation, and compare each sentence, word or phrase in each language in order to understand the language he was learning. He would then hire someone to check his pronunciation while he was reading the book aloud in that language. Except for the hiring of a native speaker and reading to him or her, relying instead on records, then cassettes and minidiscs and today, on audio recordings from the internet, that's what I've been doing since then, all the while following, more or less instinctively, all the good advice I heard in today's video. I never studied grammar per se, as I felt there is no way you can "assemble" words in a given order to give them the intended meaning by relying on rules of grammar. First, learning grammar won't help you acquire a single word in your new language. Second, simply moving a given word to a different position, in a string of words, may completely change the meaning of what you're trying to say, yet often, such changes in word order are all grammatically correct. How then can you rely on grammar to ''learn" a new language? I sometimes had doubts before as to whether what I was doing was the best way possible to learn, but I have doubts no more.

Duolingo is the worst crap I've ever used.

Mashallah I live in Turkey now ! I would love to meet her

ya that's right relay helpful

not speaking well is frustrating but not being able to understand is even more frustrating. at least if you understand spoken and written speech you don't need to ask for clarification or the meaning

Is re reading a book in spanish worth it? Because I'm already familiar with the context

Going up to level 3 of Duolingo alone helped me understand most french. The problem with Duolingo (among some of the things mentioned, such as it being too slow) is that it's a great source for SOME languages and not many. Hindi and Turkey are probably not THE BEST languages to learn on Duolingo. They don't seem to have detailed grammar explanations as a language like French does. The French course has great grammatical concepts and detailed explanations. And yes, you have to use other things besides Duolingo. I can't say i am fluent, but it has helped me understand a lot of what i watch on youtube. I dont practice speaking it much so i cant comment on that.

Hi everyone, I m a Tunisian who was born in France, I can understand Arabic and talk Arabic (however speaking only in Arabic and in fusha still is difficult and I m learning to improve my Arabic ). I wanted to say to all the people trying to learn Arabic bravo because you are brave, and also even my cousins always explain to me how arabic in Tunisian school is hard (in Tunisia everyone speak at least 3 languages: Arabic, French and English and they even learn another language like Spanish or Turkish in school) so yeah Arabic is really not an easy language but it’s worth it (it give you the opportunity to connect with so many people and arabic littérature is so beautiful) people please don’t give up I believe in you 🫶 (Sorry for my English)

This 18 year-old polyglot learned 7 languages on her own wow what a title(!) .Sounds so cool ,doesn't it ? What is the level of the speaker and who evaluates her level ? I personally failed German language test despite of speaking fluent German.Nobody ever mentions how effective those "polyglots" speak.

Great! Super! Dear Steve, many thanks indeed for your videos and sharing your experience. Your scale is VERY impressing. Not 200 words, not even 2,000 - 20,000 !!!!!! I didn't think a human being is capable for it. You are the greatest Role Model for me and true inspiration and motivation. BRAVO!!! MANY THANKS!!!!

23:10 I love the fact that when Stephen start saying he has a joke about french, Steve immediately starts asking if it's clean ...

Dubious joke. Judging from the comments, many people didn't wait for the final line and threw their books away. A video of nearly 5 minutes is way too long for people who think language learning is useless hard work.

April fool joke is not fit me having an innocent nature.

just by reading the title, I know this is going to be so true..

You are one of the greatest teachers of all time.

Thank you so much. I have been doing this: i have been believe it's possible for me, i make many repetitions and i listen before read.
