💜 ABOUT ME:
Hi and welcome! I'm Tanya and the only thing I like more than learning languages is probably talking about learning languages (well, that and hoarding language books).
My native language is Russian and I'm currently in different stages of learning English, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Korean, Japanese and Greek.

in brief:
In this video, the speaker shares how they use their tablet, specifically an iPad, to aid their language learning journey.
They discuss various features and tips that can help others enhance their language learning experience using a tablet.

1. Split-screen feature: This feature allows you to multitask, such as watching a video in your target language while taking notes or using a dictionary simultaneously.

2. Reading on an iPad: Reading apps like the default Books app on the iPad can be combined with note-taking or flashcard apps to create an effective language learning routine.

3. Planning and organization: Tablets can be used to set reminders, track study time, create vision boards, habit trackers, and even function as a language learning bullet journal.

4. Digital notes and documents: Storing course materials in a digital format allows for easy organization and accessibility, as well as the ability to repeat exercises or look up words quickly.

5. Practicing writing: The iPad and Apple Pencil are perfect tools for practicing writing in a new language, without wasting paper or harming the environment.

6. Text recognition and search: Most note-taking apps have a text recognition feature, allowing you to search your handwriting for specific words or phrases.

7. Recording audio while taking notes: Some apps allow you to record audio as you take notes and sync the audio with your notes, which can be useful when attending lectures or watching videos in your target language.

8. Changing app languages: You can change the language of your tablet or individual apps to help you learn and remember vocabulary in your target language.

The speaker encourages viewers to share their own experiences and tips for using tablets in language learning in the comments section.

This was helpful! I just bought my first ever iPad a few months ago (finally). I needed it for reading sheet music, but this video has given me some ideas on how to use it for language learning

Thank you!!!! I've been sleeping on the Books app on my ipad and hadn't noticed the built-in Chinese dictionary and how cheap the Chinese ebooks are. Such a game changer

[langdinish]

Omg this was so helpful! I've been meaning to start using my iPad for language learning for ages, but I wasn't even aware of some of the features you mentioned!! I definitely need to look into them further

Women are so organized :-)

Upgraded from an iPad Mini 6 to the iPad Air 5 after watching this. I have been wanting to get a bigger screen for the ability to do split screen more comfortably.

Я сначала даже не поняла, что русский ваш родной, английский просто шикарный у вас:) Очень полезное видео, спасибо!

OMG, how have I just discovered split screen? TYSM!!

[elenakuznetsova]

I just bought tablet and I knew in advance for what reasons I bought it, but your video helped me to organize all my studying routine in my head.
Thanks a lot!

What a helpful video! I like the software recommendations, the specifics of how an iPad would be helpful for me in language learning, and the directness of the content without any fluff. In fact, I had to slow it down and back it up. I love that, as opposed to scrubbing through to find the helpful parts. Very good. Thank you.

This video is extremely informative and very helpful

Holy shit, I'm more inspired than ever to learn Mandarin now - I have a Girlfriend that is a native speaker (Long distance) and I was thinking about getting notes and Chinese books but then I thought... Why not get an iPad. So I searched and found this amazing video full of tips. I'm going to invest !
Thanks you

Great video! Could you please film a video about the apps you recommend using?

Came here to see if there’s any tips that I can use that I am not already using, but I want to tell you a really a really cool tip. Now GoodNotes 5 now has the recording feature that notability has. You just have to update it to the latest version, and then the microphone icon will appear in the top left corner next to all your options. My mum told me about the update because I always talked about how I love GoodNotes way more but I need notability for school because of that recording feature. Now I never use my Notability anymore. So almost 3 weeks into last semester, I switched to being full time on GoodNotes now. I honestly feel like their organisation of everything is way better than Notability with their folders, nesting features, and a lot of customisability.

I just came across this video (& subscribed) . Really useful! & thank you for putting the names of the apps! You’re very organised with your language learning!😊

Great video Tanya!!! 😊It is amazing to watch your way of learning languages with tablet 😍 I am more an analog type of learner 😂

[lugz]

hey Tanya! I just started going to Korean classes, and I feel like using analogue notetaking (notebooks, pencil, highlighters) is quite the hassle. I'd like to know if you've felt any changes when it comes to productivity and if it has helped improve your language skills in any way? Was it hard transitioning from analogue to digital? Has it helped you reach a higher language level on any of the languages you are studying? I'm seriously contemplating investing on an iPad, but I'd really like to know if it helps you in terms of fluency and progress, and if using a digital notetaking app helps you retain the language and vocabulary better.

This was really interesting - thank you 🙏

I bought the blue iPad 10 gen which I've had since January 4th. I'm thinking about how I should use it to learn Polish as a native English speaker. I don't have the Apple Pencil yet because with tax it's $150 CAD if it's on sale.
