The opening clip is from the movie Limitless. I’m aware that in the movie, Bradley Cooper butchers the different languages his character supposedly “mastered”. I guess not even NZT-48 could make it possible to acquire a language without thousands of hours of input!
Thanks to everyone who pointed those out that I misspelled "led" as "lead" and said "should have went" instead of "should have gone". I'm already aware of these mistakes so there's no need to tell me about them in the comments 😅

Legend has it Bradley Cooper is still running to this day.

[elbeano]

You've inspired me to study less and watch more netflix.

[rife]

Is that like a personal attack or something ?

[OrangeC]

Why does it feel like I'm being sold headphones

[fabricio_santana]

Dude, this is not good. This is exceptional. You are doing massively important educational work here.

[MigakuOfficial]

The perfect video to share with a friend who doesn't quite get why immersion is the key to language acquisition.

As someone who has english as their second language: I learned the basics in school but my grades were falling. Then I got my ipad and accidentally learned english through memes. Now I can understand very well even more complex subjects. Now I'm trying to learn german. I'm at the point where I can understand simple clear conversations but definetely will need more practice. If anyone has any german youtube recommendations I would greatly appreciate it!

That's quite alotta clips of people putting on headphones

[omarmoataz]

I'm halfway through the video and I've already seen Bradley Cooper running more times than I'll ever need to in my entire life.

Dulingo tells me I know over 1500 words in Swedish but then I am at a Stockholm grocery store and the store clerk asks me something, a phrase i should know, and it only sounds like mush to me. I literally cannot understand the natives most of the time. It is so incredibly frustrating. But now I think I understand why..So thanks for explaining it to me, i need to change my learning routines.

I'm learning Japanese 5 months now and I was so frustrated that my brain needs so many seconds to translate what I hear/read. You answered my most important question "when will my brain accept that this is 'real' language?" "When will my brain start understand it effortless"

[Kurobeau]

Holy hell. That 'not hearing what someone said, saying "what?" and then immediately answer what they said bc it suddenly resolves in my head' is literally my life. That call out actually got my laughing out loud as it was so unexpectedly accurate.

As both a language teacher, and a language learner, I enjoyed this video a lot. I got a lot out of the specifics, like the discussion of phonemes and linguistics, but it was also simple enough for a non-language teacher to glean all the important points.

"should have GONE" (not "went")

Jodangle Cropisbundy is what i'll name my son if i'll ever have one

[selah]

Fluent in french? Nah I want to become fluent in Jodangle Cropisbundy

[JBfan]

my god if I have to see Bradley Cooper run along that river bank one more time I might 出毛病!

[alexandrelinsdossantos]

amazing: "in theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is"

[jllso]

My only question is:
*how did you find clips for everything you talked about in this video*
