How to Learn Grammar: The Only Method You'll Ever Need

In this video, I will reveal my number one method to learn grammar without boring drills. This method enabled me to absorb the grammar of 10+ languages without having to go through dozens of textbooks.

Stay tuned!

Luca is one of the few famous polyglots who is not selling you apps, language program, his products. He is just teaching you to learn a language. Period

When I was young my English teacher looked my way and said: "Name two pronouns."-I said: "Who?Me?"-Teacher: "Well done, Johnny!"

As someone who's suffered memory loss and who's a disabled polyglot, this video was super useful!

Ways to use implicit learning to learn grammar:
1. Massive exposure 4:51
2. Comprehensible input 5:04
3. Meaningful interaction 5:23
4. Live as many experiences through the target language in the real world as possible 5:49
5. Get emotional 6:12

When It comes to grammar, nothing better than learning implicitly and then structuring and organising that knowledge through explicit learning. This first part gives you a valuable automaticity, the second gives you confidence for using a d manipulating the language.

Hey Luca - just checking in. How are you doing mentally, physically, emotionally, etc.? I hope you're well, and thank you for still making videos. Hug

As a bilingual speaker working on becoming trilingual this advice was amazing! I'm super motivated to not only continue being fluent in my second language but to improve the way im which i go about learning my third language.

Every time you read something about learning methods that state "the only you'll ever need ..." is good to know beforehand: it's not the only one. And may not even be the best and/or more suitable to your learning style.

As a language enthusiast myself I have to say all the points in this video hit home with me. I have never agreed with every single point in a language learning video before…all other language YouTubers talk about language learning apps mostly and other fluff…and are usually click baity..and although I wasn’t taught anything from this video as I’ve been doing this method for years for learning Japanese, Korean and Italian. This is the first video I watched from you Luca but you got yourself a new sub because of a well made video and actually down to earth and straight to the point explanation. I can attest this method does work :)

Luca, can you make a Daily Vlog? Showing your routine and the way that you really study with details, would be awesome.

Me encantan tus videos. Gracias por todo lo que enseñas.
Cuándo vuelves a hacer otro video con Lucrezia Oddone? Ustedes son los mejores.

Grazie mille per condividere questa informazione. Me parece importante saber que se puede aprender idiomas con otros métodos menos ortodoxos. I remember when I was learning English and implicit learning was truly highly effective for me. Com certeza desse jeito será possível estudar linguas muito mais rápido e de uma maneira muito mais eficiente também. Ich danke dir noch mal.

You inspired me with this video Luca. I'm learning german, I realized that I'm more focus on explicit learning grammar. But when you know better you do better

[derekkwok]

You were one of my inspirations along with Olly and Steve that got me into this hobby. Glad to see you're still going strong! Thanks for the video! Hopefully someday...maybe post-Covid, I'll bump into you at a polyglot conference!

Hi, I am Italian and I fully agree with what you said. I would like to stress that learning grammar implicitly is not learning it.Grammar is learned only if it passes from the explicit method which in reality only concerns, perhaps, 10% of the human population (writers, proofreaders, journalists, grammar professors 😉 and little else). Obviously explicit grammar is an excellent bridge to connect two different languages, but if you can use the full immersion method you will learn a new language through implicit grammar again. The challenge is rather to understand why explicit grammar is taught so much at school, ruining the lives of hundreds of thousands of students. Some ideas I have.... Bye, thanks.

I loved your example how hard it is to explain a child what “plural” is. I absolutely agree. For me as a German teacher it‘s really hard to help my son with his German or English homework because I always use the technical terms 🙈 And I’m surprised how less terms they learn in school (he is in the 5th grade). And I confuse him more with that 😄
However in my own German classes I try to find a good balance between implicit and explicit learning. And when I learn a language myself I prefer the implicit way. I always start with listening and reading texts and try to get used to the sound and the vocabs first.
Thank you very much for your great content and that you share it with the world 🌏

[marianosabatini]

Great explanation! I think you should make one where you explain how you manage the gap between the passive skills and the active skills when learning a foreign language. I don't miss any of your videos

Hi Luca, this is EXCELLENT advice and a very good summary of implicit vs explicit learning. And you won't believe, I was just opening my Spanish grammar book today. I agree with you fully. Only 20% of one's time should be spent on grammar, but it is not completely useless. I also tend to agree with Benny Lewis who says that grammar studying is mostly for the B-levels. I myself discovered quite pleasantly how things actually then make much more sense. A grammar book can then turn from almost junk to gold.

Dope content to watch honestly the more i follow your advices the faster i progress in my target languages. Bless ya mate!

[SenyoritaStoic]

Omg! This is so true. I am more into inplicit learning and rarely do the explicit . Been studying the Spanish language for about 6 months now and I already understand almost 80 percent by just always watching series/ movies on netflix, you tube and listening to podcast and a little chatchats with friends. I just study grammar at least thrice a week. Lol. And one more thing, we really should know what type of learner we are. In my case, I am not a fan of writing cuz when I do, I wont remember anything. I remember things by just simply listening .. I havent jot down anything in my entire almost 6 months of studying and just been using the internet and totally indugle myself in Spanish in everyday living. Lol. But perhaps, If im going to learn languages like Chinese, Nihonggo or Russian I'd be force to take notes cuz their letters are different. Lol. Pero gracias por este video señorito chulo!
