Your goal is to help me practice my Spanish, improve my vocabulary, correct my grammar mistakes and give me suggestions on how my ideas can be expressed in a more natural way. You will follow the following process: 1. Your first response will be to give me an easy prompt to respond to. Please wait for me to provide my answer. 2. Based on my input, you will then generate 4 sections: a) Corrected Response. (Please correct everything, even small grammatical errors or article agreements.) b) Explanations of every correction c) Suggestions (give me ways I could improve my answer to sound more natural and fluent. If appropriate, introduce me to new vocabulary or phrases which I could use to enrich my responses or express my ideas more naturally or concisely. If there was a part of my writing that seemed especially fluent or natural, please highlight that to me. With your suggestions, if appropriate, please give me example sentences in Spanish to illustrate what your suggestions could look like if implemented. d) Follow-up (Write a couple sentences in response to mine. Then give me a new follow-up question related to my answers and your previous questions.) 3. We will continue this iterative process with me giving you more written responses and you correcting my Spanish and giving me feedback. 4. When I say “Done.”, I want you then to give me a summary of: a) The errors I made during our practice session (list the instances as bullet points) b) A bullet point summary of all new vocabulary, structures or phrases that you introduced me to c) a quick summary of how it seems that my Spanish skills are improving. - END OF PROMPT - Check out Eric Wen's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EricWen/videos There are around 160 channel members who occasionally receive members' only polls, longer edits of certain videos and sometimes even early releases etc. It's 3 AUD (2 USD) a month: Join here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_iSRqqZ7DTVlBNd9lv8jA/join Subscribe for more language learning content and especially to see what videos will come out of my time in Sweden: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_iSRqqZ7DTVlBNd9lv8jA?sub_confirmation=1 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 Start OK if you've reached the end of the description...

Hi, I'd like you to now be my Spanish Tutor. Your goal is to help me practice my Spanish, improve my vocabulary, correct my grammar mistakes and give me suggestions on how my ideas can be expressed in a more natural way. You will follow the following process: 1. Your first response will be to give me an easy prompt to respond to. Please wait for me to provide my answer. 2. Based on my input, you will then generate 4 sections: a) Corrected Response. (Please correct everything, even small grammatical errors or article agreements.) b) Explanations of every correction c) Suggestions (give me ways I could improve my answer to sound more natural and fluent. If appropriate, introduce me to new vocabulary or phrases which I could use to enrich my responses or express my ideas more naturally or concisely. If there was a part of my writing that seemed especially fluent or natural, please highlight that to me. With your suggestions, if appropriate, please give me example sentences in Spanish to illustrate what your suggestions could look like if implemented. d) Follow-up (Write a couple sentences in response to mine. Then give me a new follow-up question related to my answers and your previous questions.) 3. We will continue this iterative process with me giving you more written responses and you correcting my Spanish and giving me feedback. 4. When I say “Done.”, I want you then to give me a summary of: a) The errors I made during our practice session (list the instances as bullet points) b) A bullet point summary of all new vocabulary, structures or phrases that you introduced me to c) a quick summary of how it seems that my Spanish skills are improving. - END OF PROMPT - Check out Eric Wen's channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EricWen/videos Videos are often released up to a week early to channel members at just 3 AUD a month (about 2 USD).

A massive misrepresentation of what I was saying and the tone with which I said it.

Well I’ve got good news, it’s actually very simple. Some things are easy but very tedious.. Well learning a language is the opposite. It’s not quick, it’s not easy... but it’s not complex, it's just a habit. So I’m going to lay out 3 things that if you do for long enough, frequently enough, will lead you to fluency in a foreign language. The first and most important step is to immerse in the language. In language learning immersing doesn’t necessarily mean living in a country where that language is spoken – it means spending time listening to it and reading it. So to learn a language, it’s not complicated. It’s simple it takes time. Immerse which means get the language into your eyes and ears. Challenge yourself – go big, and rally behind your own cause, and finally, learn something through the language. Do those things in decent amounts for long enough, and you will become fluent in your new language. OK if you've reached the end of the description then you need something to do.

If you’re trying to build a habit of 30 minutes a day of listening to your language and you’re struggling because other apps distract you, then change the environment. Try setting your phone onto a foreign language podcast, put it in a pencil case and then that in a backpack, and go for a walk. Or look into an mp3 player to immerse in a language with. If you like your car then try this one, maybe you can do it in the day and only bring a book. Leave your phone at home and just drive like three blocks and tell yourself when you’ve read a chapter of your target language you can go back home. There’s always something you can do. I don’t struggle to immerse in a foreign language – I’m always tempted to immerse in foreign languages that I’m not even studying – so it’s not something I struggle with, but I do really struggle to eat well. it invisible, make it inconvenient and complicated to execute, make it less rewarding. If you find it hard to sit down and study your language, put it in front of your eyes – make it impossible to ignore. Work out whatever distracts you the most and make that harder to get at.

There are hundreds of examples of people at various places on the fluency spectrum, including some speakers Asian languages who have learned English and some English native speakers who sound perfect in Mandarin or Japanese. But there are also people who claim to sound like native speakers who do not, so I am only using the scope of my experience.

Piece of trivia for you: Sweden is basically the home of the audiobook. They were recording audiobooks by the hundreds before that horrible app that you've seen advertised everywhere was even a thought. If there are more English audiobooks in existence now than Swedish audiobooks, it's only because there are more than 100x the number of native speakers. Audiobooks per native speaker would easily be won by Swedish (when compared to English). But one book that there still isn't a Swedish audiobook for is the one in my hand in the thumbnail and that's because it's enormous. My copy weighs almost 800g, and at a normal narration speed it would be 30 hours long. So I'm going to have to read it the old fashioned way. _ My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic.

My guess is you should be studying. But since you're here...Jack Howard became one of my favourite people to watch online. He's part of the comedy duo Jack and Dean, who have made lots of sketches in series like Jack and Dean of All Trades. Jack Howard is also obsessed with Tenet which has been entertaining. Captain Sinbad (Nikhil Pandey) is one of the favorite YouTube channels. His self-help advice combined with increasingly high quality productions show that he is actually taking his own advice. He is genuinely bettering himself and not just giving that appearance. Matt vs. Japan is known as reaching some of the highest levels of Japanese or any language as a native English speaker. He was also part of the inspiration behind the IMMERSION film because he is one of the biggest advocates of learning a language by immersion. Joakim from Say it in Swedish has always been happy to help me with projects and my Swedish learning. Go and do whatever it is you're supposed to be doing (or watch my short film again). _ My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic.

This is a two part video in collaboration with Luke Truman. Check out the other half of the video on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdDXgCNygO1GC0SrvIZlKPQ Luke Truman is extremely down to earth and realistic about language learning but still has very high levels of Mandarin and Cantonese, both some of the hardest languages for English speakers. If you want to know how to become fluent in Mandarin in a short time, watch this video because Luke became fluent in Mandarin fast.

I am not a proper filmmaker but what I know about is language learning, so this is my tribute to Cuaron and a language learning movie at the same time. Films like Gravity are not about space or rockets, but about humans and the struggle to do what we need to. Language learning by immersion, or language learning in general is hard, like the task Dr Stone is faced with in Gravity. In order to learn a language immersing, you will need courage and determination. Movies like Gravity by spanish speaking Alfonso Cuaron, inspire that courage. Gravity language learning is also an analogy I have used before. Native language Gravity is very strong. Can you learn by immersion? You certainly can learn a language that way. Can you learn a language asleep? Probably a not. Can you learn a language in a year? Maybe if you put in 8 hours a day. Can you learn a language in a month? Definitely not, even at 12 hours a day. But you can learn a language by immersion, you and you can learn a language by listening to it. That is what this language learning film is about. _ My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic.

Netflix may have a lot of material in your target language but very often it won't SHOW you that language as an option so in today's video, I show you a trick I stumbled across to get Netflix to DEFAULT to your language for both AUDIO and SUBTITLES and to actually give you the option to watch things in your TARGET LANGUAGE.

That one shot that you can hear it in is actually one where I DIDN'T abandon what I was saying because I could barely hear it myself... The fact that you can hear it on the video is insane because the mic is actually about 30 centimetres from my face... and I am in a room with all the doors and windows closed. Also I had to fight hard against a strong desire to leave the Swedish out of the video because it sucks...

The story behind this thumbnail: I was using a free e-reading app and because I have now set Windows and my PC to Swedish, basically everything appears in Swedish, even if the app is American. Installing this software just looked BADASS in Swedish, even though all the terms were super normal computer terms, and it made me think how when installing programs in English, I am just a regular guy, but when installing them in Swedish, I'm like Lisbeth Salander from The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo...

Days of French 'n' Swedish has quit learning French. Why? I have an open discussion about my reasons behind no longer studying one of the namesake languages of this channel. This was a very tough decision but at the same time, such a necessary one that it actually felt kind of obvious. I will now be studying Swedish "full time". Come with me for the ride.

But in this interview we go a bit deeper into what kind of a psyche Matt possessed while he was learning Japanese and whether that was really healthy. I (Lamont) who have learnt French and Swedish to a lower level than Matt’s near native Japanese, was curious to know how someone could remain so dedicated to one language for so long, especially being so young. Then we talk about the role of meditation in Matt’s road to reconciliation with the Japanese language and Japan, which he felt had betrayed him. Now learning Chinese, Matt now finds meditation beneficial because of how it has helped him to control his attention. Seeming to give you something like language learning super powers, meditation sounds like some every language learner should try. We also talk about the role of Anki and SRS (or flashcards) in European languages versus in Asian languages. The opinions about the different approach to learning required for German or Spanish as opposed to Japanese or Chinese are quite interesting because both of us at one point take both sides of the argument. Matt does most of the talking here which is great because he’s probably the most articulate language learner and language learning theorist that I’ve come across.  Subscribe to see more foreign series reviews! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_iSRqqZ7DTVlBNd9lv8jA?sub_confirmation=1 Language learning videos, tips and techniques! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgV-XQEW93i0GexfCFSw_mRzPFzYs0Cyg _ My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic.

Ouino Languages is probably the most comprehensive language learning program out there, but is it the best? This full review of Ouino dives deep.

Thank you! I tested Ouino Spanish, as well as Ouino Italian and I tested Ouino German before giving a whole month to Ouino French. It is an extremely in-depth app and language learning program with an activity for basically every kind of language learner but unfortunately the way you navigate it and the visual design of Ouino lets it down. I hope they can improve that and come out with Ouino Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Ouino Portuguese and Ouino Swedish. At the moment, there is little hope of Ouino being chosen over competing language learning programs such as Duolingo, Busuu, Babbel and Glossika as all those programs offering a smoother user experience and a considerably wider range of target languages, however for those learning Italian, or learning German, or if you are learning French and if you are studying Spanish, Ouino is definitely the most comprehensive single program on the language learning product market. _ My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic.

Want to use music to learn French? Here are 10 French speaking artists to help get you started, keep you going, or even get you to fluency in French. Bonne musique francaise ! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgV-XQEW93i2qlPwBJTLal2h4_AWnCC2R If you want to speak French well, you'll need to understand French music. The French are artists, they love French music, French painting, French films and to them even French food is art. In order to think in French, to dance in French (musique française pour danser), live in French and to run in French (la musique française pour courir) you will need to start by listening to music in French and learning the lyrics inside out. Learn what good French lyrics mean both on the surface and the subtext. This is the meilleure musique française that I could find. The best music for intermediate french is probably a good way to describe this list since it is helping me learn and I am an intermediate French student. This list includes the following musicians and performers: Barabara Pravi, Maëlle, Bruno Coulais and his score for The Chorus (Les Choristes), Clio, Pomme, Suzane, Alice et moi, LEJ, Paris Combo, Lisza. In my opinion, these are les meilleurs musiciens français. The music of Maëlle mentioned in this video was composed by Calogero. Bonne musique français, bonne musique belge.

Have questions about language learning? I answer some of the most common questions I get about language learning. "I’ve been learning Spanish, and it’s really hard for me to listen to conversations. simply because I can’t think in Spanish. So I spend a lot of time listening in Spanish, and then thinking of what it means in English. By the time I figure out the first sentence I’m three sentences behind the person. I end up losing where I was and not understanding anything. Any helpful tips to start thinking in my target language?" I started by answering this question and ended up talking for 80 minutes about various language learning matters, so I hope it was helpful.

Could cold showers actually help you to learn a language? Yes. Let's find out why cold showers are one of the simplest things you can do to improve your language learning, to learn a language faster. Cold showers have been used by guys like Matt D'Avella and Nathaniel Drew as a way of toughening up mentally. Taking cold showers helps you to focus more time on what is important, but the showers also taught me the value of just starting. The funny thing about cold showers are that they are only unpleasant for the first 20 seconds or so; after that it's basically the same and in fact quite pleasant. The same often goes for language learning: We don't want to do the things that we know we should, but often once we start doing them, we find them to be not that bad. Cold showers are often taken to increase mental toughness, and I have found that to be absolutely the case. Cold showers have increased my focus, and as a result, on good days, I have spent almost three hours on the tasks that I am supposed to be working on, which is three times as long as I was able to before. The last language learning habit that cold showers have helped me with is in the momentum of habits and goals. When I first set the goal of cold showers, the goal was 10 days. Then I decided to see what that would be like if I went for 100 days, and I realised that 10 days was easy and in fact 100 days of cold showers was very doable. It has really made me think about where my goals come from; normally it's from what is 'normal', and that is not a good place to get your goals. In order to see extraordinary results, we must take extraordinary measures. In March, I aim to learn 3000 new French words. Sounds insane? Maybe it is, but it's less insane than trying to learn 100 words a month and then failing because the goal was pointless anyway. 3000 French words in the month of March, let's do it!

I am not a polyglot. I speak 3 languages (sort of). So why do I offer advice on language learning? My name's Lamont, and three years ago I started teaching myself Swedish. Today, I also speak French to a decent level, but Swedish and French are both fairly easy languages for an English speaker, just like Spanish, Italian and German are fairly easy languages. Counting the number of languages we speak is not always fair because while one person may learn Norwegian and Portuguese to a basic level, someone else may learn Chinese to a very high level. I know who has achieved more out of those two language learners. In the last 20 years, language learners have become obsessed with the idea of becoming a polyglot. There is a problem with this: How much of a language do you have to know in order to say that you can speak that language? If I wanted to, I could quite easily learn German and Spanish in 2020 enough to be able to say that I speak those languages. In theory, that would make me a polyglot because then I would speak Swedish, French, German and Spanish. But it would not give me a better idea of how to learn languages to a high level; it would not give me a good grasp of the languages and in my book, it would actually be a polyglot fail. You don't need to be a polyglot. Just be a better version of yourself. Not everyone can speak 10 languages, not everyone can be Luca Lampariello, Lindie Botes or Steve Kaufmann. Everyone can just aim to learn more. Learn more of the language you already speak before you take up a new language.  Language learning videos, tips and techniques! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgV-XQEW93i0GexfCFSw_mRzPFzYs0Cyg _ My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic.

What percentage of a foreign language needs to be comprehensible in order for material to be useful? This is a topic of much debate in the language learning community. I really think it depends what you're trying to do. Robin MacPherson's video about reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INxf4X-lha4 Matt vs Japan has some good videos about this, as do other language learning channels. The specific question I answer in this video is whether a comprehension level of 5% is still worthwhile and to that I answer "no". It may be of some benefit but it's not worthwhile, because you could be doing something that would increase your understanding of the language much faster. Resources like Duolingo boast having a lot of material but in truth, there are more words to learn in the opening two chapters of a novel than in the entire Duolingo course whether you are learning French, Swedish, Russian, German or Esperanto. So it's important that we understand when the best time to start reading that novel or listening to that podcast or watching that YouTube video is, because tools that can give your comprehensible input are much more effective than Duolingo.

Is the best way to study the English language to use a grammar book? In this video we'll see what happens when a student gets so caught up in English grammar that they end up trying to correct native English speakers and saying some bizarre things. Subscribe to see more foreign series reviews! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_iSRqqZ7DTVlBNd9lv8jA?sub_confirmation=1 In a recent video from Canguro English or Kangaroo English which is an Australian channel about learning English and language learning, Christian said that something which will help you to speak better English is to put the grammar book down. This will improve your English and help you learn English grammar. Do you want to learn to speak English well? Even though this is almost a language memes video with funny phrases in English about Russians speaking English better than me, it’s important to understand the context of what Christian is saying; he’s not saying that you don’t need grammar to speak English, and he himself has videos about English grammar, the various tenses etc it’s just that it’s very common for non-native English speakers, particularly from Russia and China, who study English as a second language, far more students study grammar too much rather than too little. I'm Australian so although Russians are telling me that I don't speak English... yes, Australians speak English. It is our native language. Some of us even know how to speak English properly. Do native speakers make mistakes? Yes. Do native speakers of English make mistakes that they think are correct? Sometimes but it's much rarer than Ukrainian people doing it. How to speak foreign languages is what my whole channel is about. You can also use these videos to improve your English listening. So yes, I do speak a language fluently (apart from English). Yes native speakers make mistakes, but not ones that don't even make sense like these. I’m not saying grammar is not important, in fact the best definition I’ve heard so far of fluency is from Canguro English, who said that fluency is a matter of automatic control of the grammar, into which you can then place correct vocabulary. That’s an excellent definition of the scale of fluency in English.But studying a language as if it’s mathematics clearly doesn’t work.The guy has been basically brainwashed into thinking that the way he studied English was a 100% coverage, flawless system and is so convinced of that any time he sees something that disagrees with his English, he thinks it's wrong. Strictly adhering to a single method of language teaching produces a narrow and incorrect understanding of a large and complex entity, and in some cases, convinces the learner that anything they hear in the language that is outside of that incorrect understanding must be itself incorrect.

Will sticking to a new year's resolution to read more books this year actually make you smarter or help you learn more? In this video we will find out what reading a book a week did for me this year and why I plan to read fewer books in 2020 and learn a lot more. We live in the golden age of content. YouTubers are now among the most famous people in the world. There is now more written content produced daily than was produced in entire centuries in the past. So naturally, people today are a lot smarter than people of older generations, right? No. We don't read as much as we used to. A lot of people have stopped reading books altogether, so our natural conclusion is that people's attention spans are becoming shorter and no one can concentrate anymore. PewdiePie read 72 in one year, so this year I proved to myself that I could concentrate quite easily and read an entire book in one sitting. But that didn't make me smarter and reading does not prove that you are smart or can concentrate better than anyone else. It just proves that you can read. Reading books in foreign languages proved more difficult than reading was when I was a child, even though it should have been much easier, and trying to read in Swedish and French also proved to me that I didn't have as much resolve and would give up easily on things even though I could read lots of books in English. The most honest language learning content is here. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_iSRqqZ7DTVlBNd9lv8jA?sub_confirmation=1 Language learning videos, tips and techniques! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgV-XQEW93i0GexfCFSw_mRzPFzYs0Cyg _ My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic.

Goals are important to be successful in learning a foreign language, but there is a right way to set them. In my last video, I talked about why it is important to set goals in the right way, and in this video I share some specific goals I have for Swedish in 2020 and why I have set them like that. This language goals video was partly inspired by Lindie Botes and her video 12 languages for 2020 New Year Language Goals, so I am talking about my own (more humble) goals for 2020, especially Swedish. There will be another video about my French learning goals. Whereas Lindie speaks about 12 languages, I only speak 3, so although Lindie Botes' 2020 language learning goals inspired me, I need to be careful not to try to be Luca Lampariello, Steve Kaufmann, Benny Lewis, Lina Vasquez or Ed from Double Deutsch - I like all those people and I want to be like them but my language learning goals can't be at that level yet, they can only be at my level. I can only improve on the language learning stage that I am currently at; fluent in English, reasonably conversational in Swedish and starting to become quite conversant in French. I am thinking of learning a 4th language starting at the end of 2020. In Swedish, I am trying to overcome the intermediate plateau, and I have taken some of my ideas on exactly how to do that from Lindie again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnKa097tj5Y One of my heroes is Luca Lampariello, and here is one of my favourite videos of his on how to prepare for a good language learning session: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uS21GJJMayY&t=142s  Language learning videos, tips and techniques! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgV-XQEW93i0GexfCFSw_mRzPFzYs0Cyg _ My sound is so much better in my newer videos due to my RØDE Podmic.

There is a lot of advice out there on learning two languages at the same time, and today I am putting all the good techniques that I have found work well in for learning two languages at once into a single video. Subscribe to see more awesome REAL LANGUAGE LEARNING ADVICE! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_iSRqqZ7DTVlBNd9lv8jA?sub_confirmation=1 My main piece of advice for learning multiple languages at the same time is to actually not do it unless you have already successfully and thoroughly learned at least one foreign language. This is because although it is possible to learn two or more languages simultenously, it is not at all easy and requires a certain disclipline and requires that deep language learning is your habit rather than something you find yourself forced to do. If you look at someone like Luca Lampariello who speaks 15 foreign languages; he can learning three languages at the same time because he is a professional language learner. If you haven't worked out your own relationship with languages, you need to do that first - you need to work out a way not just to learn languages but to in fact let those languages and your learning of them support one another. Learning multiple languages at once requires that you have a system in place to do it, not just that you are passionate about languages. In this case, that's not enough. Can you learn two languages at a time? Yes, but it is difficult. Can you learn three languages at once? Again, yes but this will require an even more advanced and well functioning language learning system, a language learning routine, a habit of language learning.

If you're going to use Duolingo, which you may want to do if you're learning a foreign language, then you can save a lot of time and energy but NOT READING THE FORUMS. See this channel for reviews of foreign language TV shows and movies (foreign cinema with The Reykjavik Review): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgV-XQEW93i0GexfCFSw_mRzPFzYs0Cyg The Duolingo Forums and Duolingo question pages are a waste of time because anyone who wants to can throw their opinion out there. Do not read the Duolingo forums to answer questions about grammar in your language or to find out from other Duolingo forum members why an answer wasn't accepted. I have a 1000 Day streak on Duolingo and I am always looking for good apps for language learning. There are much better apps than Duolingo out there, so why I do I recommend using Duolingo? The truth is, I don't. But a lot of people are going to use Duolingo anyway, and if you are going to use it, you might as well save 8 minutes out of every day (or 2 days out of every year) NOT READING THE COMMENS! There are some good features on Duolingo, and a video may be coming soon about the Duolingo's best feature. This mightn be the Duolingo in depth review that you were after but if you are going to use Duolingo to learn a language and you're looking at language app reviews and other apps like Duolingo or simply the best app to learn a language, this might be a good place to start. I have made videos about whether it's worth it to keep a Duolingo streak, about updates to Duolingo and about other language learning apps such as Busuu and Lingvist, which are my two favourite language applications at the moment.

There are much better things you can be doing than Duolingo, for example, Busuu, Innovative Language Pod101 series, Rocket Language, LingQ, Lingvist.

Does Duolingo work? How LONG before Duolingo works? This 1000 day Duolingo streak language learner discusses answers this question in the form of a little film. What is the best way to use Duolingo?

He has TONNES of good videos, here is a recent one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sV0zdbmTcc I think that Lingvist is better than all the other language learning apps I mentioned except for Busuu quite simply because the design is better but the programming and the learning theory, spaced repetition and user interaction are at least as good if not better as well. What is Lingvist? Lingvist is a high level flashcard style vocabulary building tool, although they’re not technically flash cards: with some additional features. So it has other features… yes. But it is not a full language acquisiton program, like for example, Babbel or my favourite Busuu – in my opinion, the completely spherical, all in one complete beginner to proficient language learning program does not yet exist.

You need to get outside of your comfort zone and speak your target language even when it doesn't feel right and in fact especially when you don't feel ready; because you will never feel ready to speak your target language until you actually start speaking it. Speaking a language doesn't magically happen by getting lots of input. It happens slowly by repeating the input you've heard, being gently corrected on your target language, and repeating it again until it's perfect.

A friend and I had a LANGUAGE LEARNING CHALLENGE in which we both tried to learn as much Arabic as possible in just one month. We are going to tell you what to do and what NOT to do if you want to LEARN A LANGUAGE IN A MONTH or learn a language FAST. Don't do what we did! Language learning videos, tips and techniques! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgV-XQEW93i0GexfCFSw_mRzPFzYs0Cyg How long does it take to learn a language? You might ask. It depends a lot on the language learning method you use as well as which language to learn? The best way to learn a language, we discovered, is NOT to try to only learn the relevant language material and the most common words because you spend more energy learning the language quickly than you do just learning it properly. Can you learn a language in a month? Probably, if it is a language very near to your own, you have an excellent memory and an ear for sound and are very good at recognising and distinguishing between patterns. To learn a language quickly you will also need a lot of time in the day to hear and speak the language. I’m not advocating that you sit down with an Arabic dictionary and learn every word that you see, or that you have a goal of learning 10,000 words to become fluent, but I do think if a word comes up and you want to learn what it means, then learn what it means, it’s not a problem. Additionally, it’s a waste of mental language energy to have to ‘decide’ what language is useful and non-useful. If you just let the language come to you rather than trying to be a judge over it, you’ll have a better time learning a language fast. A lot of these language hacking techniques say that you should use language learning strategies that are actually very inefficient if you want to learn the language properly. So did I learn Arabic in a month? Watch the Days of French 'n' Swedish video to see for yourself whether my Arabic is any good or not.

People often find 'gendered nouns' tricky in foreign languages. Here are three awesome tips to help you overcome that so that it's one less thing you have to worry about when you learn French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or any other European language that has genders! Do you want to know if there are Der die or das rules? Do you want to know how to learn genders in Italian? Or how to learn genders in Spanish? Learning genders in European languages is about SOUND, not about rules, so try to hear and use the nouns WITH their articles as much as possible so that you learn that it's "die Katze" rather than "der Katze"; or the same goes for if you are learning French, if you are learning Italian, if you are learning Romanian, if you are learning Norwegian or if you are learning Icelandic. One of the benefits of learning genders in European languages this way is that there are no exceptions because you are learning every noun as its own 'rule', without using any rules or any generalisations about which gender a noun belongs to.

See what almost three years of Swedish learning looks like in under 10 minutes with this Aussie speaking Swedish. The Reykjavik Review is a language learning channel who does language app reviews, reviews of foreign films, Swedish speaking videos and shows progress in learning to speak Swedish. He is learning to speak Swedish AND French, and has videos about learning Swedish for Australians as well as the best ways to learn Swedish and other languages. Although this perhaps isn't the fastest way to learn a language, it is definitely a fun and good way to learn Swedish. Don't try to learn Swedish at Ikea, det går inte bra. Channels and videos like learn Swedish with Martin can help, says this Australian speaking Swedish. This video serves as evidence as to how to learn Swedish in 6 months (even though it takes longer, the video details why it was longer than it could have been), and if you want to know the best and fastest way to learn a language, then subscribe because this channel has a lot more info on that. The best Swedish accent you'll ever hear may be absent in this video, because I had just watched a Norwegian series, but normally my good Swedish accent is better and we can talk about that in future videos on how to learn foreign languages. Now, I live in Australia, which is one of the most linguistically isolated countries in the world – of course we have speakers of other languages, namely Chinese and Arabic, but if you wanna be full immersed in a foreign language, especially one of your choice, it’s going to involve a plane trip. But, without leaving the country, I’ve managed to learn to speak Swedish, and by that I mean I can speak to Swedes and we understand each other – they generally know that I’m not Swedish but I sound competent enough that they don’t switch to English, which is an achievement in itself - the same goes Norwegians in fact it’s easier with Norwegians because being less familiar with Swedish, they don’t pick up on the fact that I’m not Swedish, they just think I’m speaking it so I must be. But when I tell people this, a question I get, especially from Australians who are trying to learn a language is: What was your exact process? Even my own Dad asked me this. They’re wanting to know exactly what steps to take because they think that if they replicate that, then it will work, because if it worked for me, it must work for them. I don’t at all regret learning Swedish, in fact I want to keep working on it in order to become a really proficient speaker, but I do wish that I’d had a slightly more deliberate process because as I said, I believe that anyone could actually achieve a similar level in less time if they were a bit more focused. I don’t know if it comes out in the clips, but I found that even very early on in French, I was much more adept at finding ways around sentences and getting my point across even while very new to the language; and it is partially that French vocabulary is easier because it’s very much the same as English, but it’s also that when learning Swedish, I didn’t realise that I had also been learning how to handle being uncomfortable, how to guess what words go where, how languages work in general. After maybe 9 months of kind of mucking around in French, I decided to make improving my Swedish a priority, with a view to returning to French when I was comfortable with my Swedish level. I’ve met the Swedish ambassador of Australia and taken his photo. I’ve randomly come across Swedes at lolly shops in country Australia as well as in Sydney and I confused them by talking to them in Swedish so it's been fun, and yes, I plan to be more deliberate with Swedish and French moving forward – but don’t let the idea that it has to be done a certain way hold you back from starting – because the hardest thing is to start, and to mean it – and it doesn’t have to be done a certain way, what’s really important is that you speak, and little bit little you will speak more, you’ll understand more and you’ll have fun – so get out there, pick a language and get started. If you want more ideas as to what you should actually do, then subscribe because I’ve got about 20 videos about language learning, I’ve got also got reviews of Scandinavian TV series and movies, so if either or both of those things interest you – subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_iSRqqZ7DTVlBNd9lv8jA?sub_confirmation=1

Duolingo has started a channel on TWITCH with some verified streamers for language learning streaming. One question is why and the other is, what are people saying about this new move by Duolingo? In this duolingo reaction video, I discuss why I think this is a bit of a farce. Some people think that Duolingo is one of the best language learning resources out there, but is a streaming channel going to make them even better? Duolingo has teamed up with Twitch and some verified streamers - does that mean something special on Twitch? What does it mean for Duolingo users? What is Duolingo doing? I think the Twitch Duolingo verified streamers will make sure that they keep the content relevant to the stuff that Duolingo teaches. Personally, I don't see this doing much good for language learning, though it could perhaps help some people understand native speakers of foreign languages better. Streaming for languages is apparently something people have asked for, but in this video, I ask if a language learning streaming service is actually necessary. I am learning Swedish, French and currently some Arabic. I know a little bit of German and Norwegian, and would love to learn Icelandic.

Can you learn Arabic in less than a year? Better yet, can you learn Arabic in a month or less? Arabic has recently been added to Duolingo, so now is a perfect time to try out this amazing language with the Duolingo Arabic course. I will also be using other resources but I have actually found Duolingo Arabic course quite helpful so far. I thought that Arabic on Duolingo would be terrible but for learning how to read this challenging language, I've found it amazing. In this language learning video, I discuss just how much of the difficult Arabic language someone could expect to learn in a month, and soon I will be back with a video in which I show how much Arabic I was able to learn in 3 weeks (since I learnt very little of Arabic in this first week). I also discuss some of the difficulties with choosing between MSA (Modern Standard Arabic), Egyptain Arabic, Levantine, Maghrebi and other dialects of Arabic that exist. I will not be taking a proper Arabic learning course but I will try to find out can you learn a language in a month? Language learning for adults is always a bit controversial, so this will add to that discussion. By the time you see this video, I have only 3 weeks to learn Arabic. Wish me luck!

Are you scared to speak your target language when you meet a native speaker? You can learn how not to be scared to speak to native speakers of your target language by following the advice in this video. Lots of people tell me they are afraid to speak a foreign language, which means they never get to practice with a native a speaker, but this video will explain how you can follow these steps to not be afraid to speak target language when the time comes. In this video, I explain how I went from a person who was afraid to speak German even though I had been learning for a few years to being someone not at all afraid to speak French even when the waitress I was speaking to wasn't French! Maybe you are afraid to speak Spanish or you're in Brazil and you're afraid to speak Portuguese. Maybe there is a bit Russian population in your city, but it's not good because you are afraid to speak Russian with them. If any of these language learning scenarios sound scary to you, then stay with this video and you'll learn how to practice languages with native speakers. I'm Lamont from the Reykjavik Review, where even though I don't speak Icelandic, I do speak Swedish, French, and a little bit of some other languages; all of which are languages I have learned by practicing language through conversation. As I go through this process myself, I want to help you with everything I've learned about foreign languages, learning languages and particularly how to practice with native speakers and how to have a good accent when you speak a foreign language.

This is a review of BUSUU, it is a little bit older now. NOTE: Please try Busuu yourself before purchasing. I do recommend it for certain students in certain languages but not all students and not all languages. Thanks for watching! Learn a language fast with the power of story at StoryLearning: https://learn.storylearning.com/uncovered-select-language37129904?affiliate_id=3626911 Join channel members for extended cuts and other goodies: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3_iSRqqZ7DTVlBNd9lv8jA/join Most features are free, so for free Spanish learning apps it is perfect. The Busuu easy language learning system gets you as close to full fluency as any single app can, as far as I am concerned. People sometimes ask me about Duolingo for Spanish vs Busuu for Spanish and Duolingo vs Mondly, to which my answer is that there is not even a competition. You might as well put polyglot Luca Lampariello (who speaks 14 languages) up against my monolingual son. Busuu is among the best language learning apps if not THE best language learning app. It is also among the best free russian learning apps. ITalki has been one of my go to language learning tools (video on iTalki language learning coming soon) but it's much more expensive to do a large amount of iTalki than to just use Busuu (all the content can be had for FREE.) You can tell that the people who made this app have actually studied language acquisition theory; it is not a coincidence that they have all these effective language learning techniques worked into the language exercises. However, where most learning language apps are boring if they effective, Busuu is both effective and interesting to do. Since it is free for the material, it is a sort of diy language learning and if you did the entire course, I am SURE that you could reach fluency in a language. I myself am on the way to reach fluency in French, but you could reach fluency in spanish or German plus nine more languages. So, if it is the best language learning app you're after, or just the apps better than Duolingo, what you want is Busuu: watch this review to find out why. People also talk about how to get lingots on duolingo, which I find a bit strange. I have thousands of lingots on Duolingo (mostly due to my 1000 day Duolingo streak), but honestly it makes no difference to anything because this app is better. Duolingo lingots can not be used to pay for enough things. Anyway, here is the review of the Busuu app which is an alternative to italki, and alternative to Duolingo, alternative to Mondly, alternative to Memrise. I recommend you use it.

The Reykjavik Review: In this video I discuss the cognitive and social benefits of learning a language, or what I call 'side effect benefits', that is, on top of picking up the language itself.

This is a language learning apps video from The Reykjavik Review. The choices of Duolingo to constantly update and fix things that were working perfectly well have not always gone down well with their users, but could this latest decision be the beginning of the end of Duolingo? https://www.duolingo.com/ Duolingo made a few different updates as part of a series, the latest being the April 2019 update. These updates added a lot of content to the trees of Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Italian. They of course did not give us any new trees such as Duolingo Finnish, Duolingo Icelandic, but they have very recently given us Duolingo Arabic. I very much doubt it is as good as studying Arabic on Busuu, but I'll soon see when I do a review of the Duolingo Arabic course. They have not updated some of the smaller languages like Duolingo Swahili, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian or Welsh. I am almost up to my Duolingo 1000 day streak, and when I get to that, I am strongly considering saying goodbye Duolingo. Although it has crowned itself as the Best Language Learning App 2019, I don't think anyone seriously believes that (even them).

Swedish speaker The Reykjavik Review discusses the new A24 movie Midsommar, but in trailer form. To an outsider, the Midsommar festival can seem to be a bizarre Swedish pagan ritual, but it is actually good fun. It is probably my personal nightmare to attend one as it starts descending into disembowelling animals, making people levitate and taking enough weird substances to make my Swedish language start sounding good. What's interesting about the trailer for Midsummer is that it looks as though some parts of the movie will be in Swedish, and maybe (and I'm hoping) there will actually be some language games happening, that is, when the film tells Swedish speakers something that English speakers will miss... I love it when Swedish movies do that, and the idea of a Swedish horror movie doing it sounds awesome, if not a bit too scary. Please note that this is a trailer response video. I have used an A24 trailer in order to discuss and review it, not to copy it.

The reasons this helps so much are many, and it definitely helps to answer the question of how to become fluent in 6 months. (If you make a video every week, that's 26 videos... I guarantee you become at least 8 times as good in that time, if you start from the first month of your fast language learning habit.) It's one of the things I am going to do in my hope of learning French to fluency, now that I have done a decent job of learning Swedish fluently. Forgive me if this is pretty poor - I expect it to be, and a lot of French speakers say that Australians cant speak French! Benny Lewis says to speak from day one, and I would just about agree with that. I am not all about apps and statements of fluency which mean nothing - I am about real language learning and real French learning, so since I said it in a video in English, I thought I had better make a video in French for French learning YouTube usage! This is one of many videos about languages and language learning from The Reykjavik Review, the Australian guy who pretends to be Icelandic but (in this video) I speak a bit of French.

There are at least five or six apps better than Duolingo, and I am going to talk about my favourite ones and how I use them. Number 4: An e-reading platform with a few features. The first is that it should give you access to books in your target language if they are otherwise difficult to get (which they are with Swedish). Here is a link to Google books which has a bunch of digital text books (careful not to get lost for days in here!): https://books.google.com.au/ I also use Bookmate because it has material in some less common languages such as Swedish, Danish, Azerbaijani, Ukrainian and Polish: https://bookmate.com Number 3: This app is AWESOME. Music speed changer. I now use it as my regular mp3 player, because it has all the features of a normal music app, but a whole lot of bonus ones that make is PERFECT for language learning: https://music-speed-changer.en.uptodown.com/android Number 2: Busuu. In my opinion, this is the only one of these specific language learning 'apps' that actually UNDERSTANDS what it TAKES to learn a language to fluency. It doesn't just drill vocab and structure like Duolingo or the Babbel app. It asks you to speak: https://www.busuu.com/ Benny Lewis advocates for 'speak from day 1', but if that's a bit much for you, Busuu definitely eases you into that, which is fantastic. Additionally, there's a great community of people who use it. Number 1: The hard to pronounce but easy to use auxiliary app for recording Skype conversations. Please use this app responsibly and don't share footage of other people without their permission. (The teachers who appear in this video have given me permission to use this footage). https://www.evaer.com/ Evaer is a good app anyway but it's great when paired with iTalki: https://www.italki.com/i/CHfEEb?hl=en_us Thanks for watching, please leave a comment and I'll reply!

Some further photos came from Upsplash. Thank you for the brilliant photos those websites continue to provide. Whether you are learning something 'easy' like the French language, the Norwegian language and the Swedish language... or something difficult like the Arabic language or the Chinese language, language learning can be tough because we don't have very clear feedback on how we are going, and there are not agreed upon steps as to how to go beyond the beginner level. This video is all about how to make that process more tangible and to be sure that what you are doing is effective. I guarantee that if you haven't been doing any of these things and you implement everything I suggest in this video, your language learning will improve by about double (100%). The first tip is: Spend time thinking about what you need at your stage of language learning. If you spend an hour thinking about how to be more efficient in your language learning, and writing your thoughts and your proposed changes down, and even if you do it once a month for the upcoming month, then you spend the next 30 hours being twice as efficient. 1 hour put into thinking about better methodology, 30 hours of learning efficiency gained. The 2nd tip is: Making videos in your target language is a damn good idea. It gives you a specific goal, a specific goal is always a good thing – basically every learning guru out there, Josh Kaufman, Tim Ferriss recommend having almost strangely specific goals. And the last piece of advice: make for yourself a task based goal. Aim to have a certain number of conversations, write a blog, an article, film a video a week for 10 weeks – make it something umcomfortably difficult. Duolingo and Babbel do not count for this. Although I like Benny Lewis and generally agree with him, one small issue I have with his methodology is that he doesn't advocate for enough time spent on efficiency. He says to just speak and speak as much as possible; and although that will make you quite confident with speaking a language, it isn't a particularly efficient way of doing it. I have spent somewhere around 400-500 hours speaking Swedish; so I can speak confidently, but my vocabulary and accent are not as good as they should be after that long, because 250-300 hours of that conversation time has only been spent developing my conversation skills. It has not been what Cal Newport would call 'Deep Work'. This video explains more about how we can get the best of both worlds in order to learn a language fast rather than just sitting on Duolingo. There are resources and apps better than Duolingo! Thank you for watching! Enjoy!
