Master Learning Tips from Language Expert @Thelinguist

Want to learn how to learn? The best way to learn isn't just diving into a subject. It takes careful planning to learn effectively and without burnout. Here's a pro learning tip for you: Try a technique called interleaving. This technique will propel you to not just learn complex topics—but retain them as well!

Joining me in this amazing video is Steve Kaufmann @Thelinguist . He's a master language learner and a polyglot who can speak 20 different languages! Steve is also the author of the book, The Linguist: A Personal Guide to Language Learning," which covers common obstacles people might face in their learning journeys. Definitely check out this video to level up your learning game! No more caffeine-fueled hours with brain fog. Clear up the fog with this interview.

Thank you for the wonderful conversation, Vanessa. I had a great time speaking with you.

[Layniebird]

I literally freaked out when I opened YouTube and saw the two of you together. I haven't started the video yet but I am bouncing up and down in excitement I can barely contain myself. You two are both among my biggest role models! So excited to hear you talk!

[catherinelum]

This is amazing! Thank you for dispelling the "myths" for language learning, and giving me hope that I can learn a new language. Thank you, Vanessa Van Edwards, for your generous

[Katyayanibetha]

Thank you! This is very helpful for me because I just started learning Hindi. I want to be able to understand what my spiritual teacher is saying without an interpreter and to be able to communicate with her directly. Thank you again!

I love learning new languages and have, in my years, spent time studying sign language, french and Pashto to help with patient care. I definitely see the benefits of being immersed in a culture to really level up quickly. In all cases, people have been so gracious as I put myself in the uncomforable places to try out what I am learning ... and make mistakes ... :)

[owenogola]

I love the way you mirror your guest. The insights shared... Amazing! Thank you both!

[joseaguirre]

Really expanding your brain and your kwnolege, help to know the culture that like it!! 👌

[CoachingbyMarc]

Thank you for this video. This motivated me to learn a new language so I am now learning Hindi and it’s going super well! ❤️

[Pdotta]

this is a legit great interview, thank you

[DrTankPharmD]

It's interesting to learn that styles of learning don't have an influence on knowledge. Also really interesting to learn that language is taught poorly in schools.

[priyanthaweerazinghe]

It's really amazing. Very very helpful to those who are interested in language learning and presentation skills. Keep your good work up..Good luck!!

[Rafael-rbou]

Thank you very much for the video! I'm learn inglish a few time, and one day I hope be able to talk english like a fluent!!!! (sorry if I do any mistakes in my sentence) Again, thank you!!!!

[Sonia-zqek]

As if you had known that I am immersed into learning German right now! Thank you 🙏🏻

[deborahmeek]

I have been learning French for 1 year for 2-3 hours everyday, I am hopeful to move on to a new language soon but I don’t think I know enough French yet

[ralfj.]

This is so true!
Very interesting interview!

[irishchocolate]

Speaking 20 languages obviously he would be better at some than others. It takes years to speak a foreign language at the same level as your native language. I wonder how many he is truly fluent at verses just being proficient among those twenty.
It also depends on how you interpret fluency.
On the Wycliffe language scale 5 is a native speaker. Very few people get beyond a 3. For a foreigner, a 4 is excellent. A very few may make it to a 4.5.
I do applaud him for a major mental accomplishment!

[monayunita]

It’s a great video! I’m Chinese descent Indonesian I learn English until high school and later Japanese in University, currently I’m learning Korean. The thing is since I look like Japanese, people instead wonder not because I’m speaking Japanese but because they wonder if I’m foreigners since I have a bit of accent 🥲 I think in my case it’s more like betrayal to Japanese than nice surprise 😂
