Native English speaker here ....I couldn't tell English wasn't your frist language bravo !

As a French speaker I was so surprised when you said English isn't your first language!! I could barely tell that you weren't a native speaker. And for a French native speaker, mastering the English accent like that is even more impressive.

[baxodirbaxramov]

In deep level of mental processing part, avoiding recognition itself, and instead, checking the definition/translation of the word in a preffered language and then trying to recall the exact word in a target language make a lot of sense.Because when you are writing or speaking(most difficult parts) the words are not actually gonna pop into your head out of nowhere.You will recall them first by its purpose and function in a sentence, then its definition and then the desired word.

Thanks so much...I'm a native french speaker who speak german English and Turkish...I wish to have your English accent one day 😊❤

[Brewpoint]

Native English speaker here, interested in learning Japanese. Very helpful information -- thank you. Your English has enough accent to identify it is not your first language but still excellent. Not the least difficulty understanding as you relay complex ideas.

I used to create my own flashcards in BrainScape but it definitely consumed a lot of time - not 15 minutes a day. And this is not time learning but just labouring creating flashcards. Pretty soon one learns them and has to create another deck. Premade packs never worked as well, however - they often lacked good descriptions or other components that would help me and make any card unique.

Can you please add some references and sources which support these language learning strategies?

[JonathanOlelo]

Unfortunately, academic institutions in most countries don't apply any science-based language learning methods.
Like, I know many people who learned a language for years at school/college/university, but after finishing there, they didn't have any ability to use this language practically.

The way i gasped so loudly when he said that English wasn't his first language

[ders]

I am sick of youtubers who suggests lots of methods without not supporting them with valid researches. Why would i use someone's not scientificially proven personal method while i could use proven ones

[Riseroseriot]

What kind of flash card can I use please and thank you

If you really want to take a deep dive into SRS, I recommend the book "Fluent Forever" by Gabriel Wyner.

Speak math or proramming

[thegod]

I've a c2 certificate in english, though I didn't practice speaking because I'm antisocial, I just wanted to learn English, so I could be to understand, but now I want to learn french, and I'm afraid of lose my english vocabulary, and I now that I'm not going to learn french as fast as english, 'cause I won't put all my focus on it, I'll keep learning english vocabulary 100 words a day, so I'm afraid to learn french, by the way I'm 15 years old

[AhlemBalaouan]

😇😍just an awesome video, your methode to learn languages impress me a lot!

[عَبدُالرَّحْمَن-دمل]

YOU MADE A PHNOMANOL MISTAKE, DEAR!
WHY YOU DIDN'T ADD "ENGLISH SUBTILTES" IN THE THIS VIDEO WE ARE STILL LEARNING THEREFORE MOSTLY WE FIND IT A LITTLE BIT TRICKY TO CATCH SOME NEW WORDS.

[gordoncurrie]

I am about to finish all 5 levels of Pinsular Italian. What are your recommendations on what app based program to continue my learning?

[yotub]

Would you mind giving us the research you are talking about? (The name of the paper, the link, the doi)

[romeoxlee]

I have a question. I know you said that it is best to study the vocabulary every day. What about spacing repetition? Should I still do spacing repetition of I'm looking at the vocabulary every day. It's not vocabulary for a new language. I just want to build up my English vocabulary for writing. I was also going to try keyword method too. It's a method where you link the vocabulary word to a image.

[samueluribeg]

Yes it's the way to learn.. thanks
