Why you haven't learned a language... (YET)

[luizhenriquecedraz]

As a Portuguese native speaker I would say that English is one of the easiest languages to learn, only because you hear and read everytime, so at some point I realissed that was understanding movies, videos, etc without subtitles, and that turned a key in my brain that I could really speak English.
So I started engaging conversations with native people, and when I got enough confidence, I started a job in a foreign company, and having to speak English every day improved a lot my level in the language.

This video reminded me I need to get back to learning Greek! Thanks good video

I speak 3 languages and I'm currently learning russian. My recommendation is to start by studying grammar and vocabulary from books and videos and then farm a lot of reading and listening from books, online posts, movies, videos etc. It shouldn't take you more than 1, 5 years to achieve an intermediate level.

I have been wanting to learn Spanish and have slacked off for years. I appreciate the video. Someone recommended to read books in the language you want to learn.

best way to learn a language is to read books in the language. In my experience anki is a monotonous overcomplication, you simply don't need it to remember words if you already have a good reading habit.

The reason people fail at learning a language is because the do things that give little to no benefit like: duolingo, grammar drilling, speaking way to early.

learning languages is not hard but it takes a very long time and the education system misleads people

awesome video dude - I have a question for you, do you use windows at all or are you using linux fully as a daily driver? thanks

‏you’ve mentioned before that Linux is better on ThinkPad. Well, I have a question: What's better, "Is Linux better on a ThinkPad or on a PC?"

Learning a language is very time-consuming. But there is a language that can be learnt much faster than other ones. It is Esperanto. It is used much more widely than many people assume. Many people would benefit a lot from choosing that language. It is much easier to stay motivated when you see that you are making fast progress.
