I have sent and replied to many polyglots. I have posted over many websites enough to fill a 300 page book. What have I written. The continuing failure of the clear majority of people to learn or acquire a new language. I failed over 13 years to be able to be conversationally fluent in Tagalog. I failed at a cost of $5,000 to learn through conventional tutoring. I then failed with 1,500 hours of storytelling though I keep have them read. After a few months nothing improved using LingQ. Of course the cost for storytelling and LingQ just ads to the disaster. I stopped speaking to those not helping here in Metro Manila. My 25 year relationship is also damaged. I stopped attending Filipino gatherings of any kind since it was extremely depressing ending up alone among others not translating or helping me learn or acquire. So what is the secret I am convinced exists that polyglots are not telling to help acquire a new language? I was not a math major but when I returned to college it struck me why others just were defeated and struggling with algebra. My discussion with them about personal feelings of math then teaching the most difficult concept simply solved the problem. But this language is a severe problem. I must state that I see the Tagalog language culture as severely broken. Engaging them in talk is impossible. They giggle and ridicule. So that is one factor encouraged by polyglots not possible here due to thus childish and rude action. It just creates humiliation and anxiety for me.

We don't really see him having a real conversation very often so I wonder how he'd do with his language skills in those situations. In my opinion, that's probably the hardest part of any language learning process (speaking + listening at the same time).

I've been doing Greek for 3 months now and recently started dabbling in Japanese. Greek is definitely my main focus but I find it helpful to dabble in Japanese and slowly learn a kanji here and there so that when I am farther along in Greek I will already have a major head start in Japanese. Really enjoying language learning. It has replaced gaming for me. Same sense of achievement only I am getting so much out of it.

@@maceawilder oh thank you man! A couple of corrections I think you'll appreciate as a learner: In Greek, languages are neuter plural, so you should use "τα Αγγλικά". If you want to say "very well" you can't use just "πάρα" by itself, as this word is only used to modify "πολύ" if it's used to exaggerate. So you would say "...και ξέρεις τα αγγλικά πάρα πολύ καλά" Your Greek is at a very good level for just 3 months. Keep on and you'll understand the beauty of this language!

Now I am in Italy, but I have spanish room mates. Whenever I try to speak spanish with them, I constantly find myself thinking in italian instead of spanish. It is as if all my spanish knowledge has been overwritten by italian.

A phoneme isn't quite a sound. For example, the 'a' in 'bath' is two different sounds when spoken by north British accents and by south British accents. But they are the same phoneme because the meaning is unchanged. But the vowel change between 'pitch' and 'peach' does change the meaning, so they are two phonemes.

One thing that give me hope and that I think many people forget is that most native speakers go to school for majority of their childhood and teenage years to learn their language and are still not masters of it. For example in the US we have english classes every year of school and often the first semester of college as well. So you shouldn't feel disheartened if you can't pick a new language in a few months or even a year or two. Everybody learns at different rates and you don't need to be near the level you would perceive you need to be to have a conversation or to read in another language.

I'll have to give it a go!

@jsweebles2150 7 ай бұрын

I really appreciate their take on languages just as a hobby. I have had people try to start arguments with me because I told people the same thing, to study more than one language if they want. Unless you have actual need for the language such as for work I think it is up to you what you study. It carries the same mindset as (Don't study rare languages because hardly anyone speaks it.) I will admit at times I wish I have devited more time to certain languages. But we are never done learning and had I continued I probably wouldn't have been satisfied with the level anyways. But by dabbling in multiple languages I have increased my knowledge of many languages, gave myself opportunities to connect with people, and gave my self nunerous starting points to pick up from if I choose.

@dirkschwartz1689 5 ай бұрын

Thank you, Steve, you did good - with a good collab video! For everyone who really wants to know: A phoneme is an abstract luguistics term that describes a class of sounds that differentiate meaning. If similar sounds don't differentiate the meaning, they are called allophones of the same phoneme. E.g., r and l are different phonemes in most "western" (indo-european) languages like English, i.e. "right" and "light" have different meanings. This is different for, say, Chinese, Japanese and Korean: People sometimes erroneously think that there is no "r" sound in Japanese. This is strictly speaking not true, rather, there is no difference in the meaning whether you use one sound or another. E.g., "raisu" and "laisu" would both be understood to mean the same thing: rice. As a consequence, the Japanese writing systems don't differentiate between those sounds although they exist, depending on their position in a word or even on different dialects. Now, this technical knowledge isn't important to a language learner, but the concept behind it can have consequences when the language you are learning has sounds that are different phonemes in that language but that don't make a difference in meaning in your own. In this case, you need to pay attention to your pronunciation in order not to cause confusion. For a Japanese learner of English, differentiating between r and l will be difficult in the beginning, but knowing this difference matters is important for them to get ahead.

@emperorarima3225 8 ай бұрын

I suppose people who dont speak English often get along pretty well in their communities. Most Japanese people can barely go beyond "Herro, Naisu to meet you", but they get jobs, make friends, have families, play games, watch movies and all that good stuff. Of course they're trapped in that language bubble, and to be fair, no Japanese person will ever get a chance to consume and absorb EVERY BIT of Japanese content, so that bubble is fine, but still they won't experience being outside the bubble without a crutch (subtitles/translators) We English speakers are also trapped in a (bigger) bubble and i think THAT is what i think of when the idea of need comes up. You enjoy watching gaming? Maybe u could settle for Markiplier but there is a Korean youtuber out there that is probably miles more entertaining. China seems like mysterious and incomprehensible country? Sure you could watch the news or you could talk to Chinese people themselves. The ones not affluent enough to speak English well and travel abroad. Maybe you just admire the Finns for some reason. You can pretend to Brazilian online to be part of the memes.

I find it's very easy for our human brain to subconsciously convince us that we don't need another language, even if you speak a language other than English. It's perfectly possible to live your entire life only needing Spanish, Russian, Portuguese or any other widespread language. Heck, I know a fair few people who are totally fine living in a global world knowing only Finnish. All you need is to accidentally construct a bubble around yourself where you can get by in Finnish, English, Spanish or any other language and you won't even realise there's so much you're missing out on.

It's a bit of semantics but I think it's helpful to distinguish learning about a language and learning a language. Learn about a language can stop at any point without being a failure, any amount of grammar or words or expressions you learn constitutes learning a little more about the language than you knew before. Learning a language, and people looking for information about learning a language is a completely different ballgame and does have failure states, disappointments and stakes. Because on some level what it fundamentally means is acquiring a level of performance in the language that you can use it at the level of an adult. We can argue endlessly about what it means to use a language but everyone who wants to learn a language has a dream in their mind of getting close to native ability, especially in terms of ease of understanding and communication. Their dream is probably not asking directions or being competent in one very specific topic. I encourage anyone to start out just learning about a language, it's fun and interesting and not very time consuming. But if you do that long enough, eventually you probably will want to take it out of the glass case, and oh boy is it a commitment of your mental and emotional resources.

Studying similar（Or languages that share a similar worldview,etc) languages at the same time is a great idea. My niece is on her final year at University where she is reading Arabic but she has also studied Farsi and Turkish and some other language I can’t remember. I have been studying Japanese for a few years and last year decided to start Mandaring and Koreann, which I always wanted to pursue but kept putting off because I thought I would get confused or would make me give up Japanese. On the contrary, this has turned out to be a great decision. I do not intend to get to a great level with Korean or mandarin, but it is certainly a lot of fun and it relieves the preassure to study Japanese every day, which remotivates me and helps me keep the learning experience fresh.

“but in the case of languages even I'm not speaking the language well and I'm struggling, i can just have fun in any level you know. I don't need to be perfectly fluent. You don't need to be the best, you just have to have fun with it" I'll keep that in mind, instant sub to both channels.

Buen video! Estoy de acuerdo en que si tienes voluntad es una ventaja, pero a mí (y creo que a muchos) me falla un plan de estudio o exposición al lenguaje.

Set realistic expectations and make sure use a process you enjoy. Treat it like any skill you develop over years.

I am trilingual and I definitely forget words in my mother tongue too, so don’t get scared of forgetting vocab

A phone is a sound. When two phonemes, for example /p/ and /b/, distinguish words that are otherwise the exact same (pan vs. ban), then they become phonemes. Sometimes a phone will be pronounced differently in a different environment (wife vs. wives, f -> v). Because this change in sound does not create a new word (what is important being the plural -es), /v/ is called an allophone of /f/ in this situation. In any case, distinct words such as 'fan' and 'van' differ only in /f/ and /v/, thus in most cases /f/ and /v/ are strictly distinct phonemes in English.

We were in a language exchange gathering yesterday in Austria... and there was a woman from the US, so I said "Hey listen, she is not allowed to speak English" and all started to laugh. There were people from Brasil Colombia (me) China Sudan Tanzania Ucraine Germany Italy Hungary Good Party 🎉 🌍🌎

The word simp is NOT a Gen Z term. We been using it in black hoods since the early 90s maybe sooner than that. I’ve been been hearing it since I was a child. But anyways great video. My two favorite language related KZfaqrs!

Thank you! White GenZ always steals words from Black Millennial, Black GenX, and Black GenZ culture and then claims they came up with it. It's so annoying and disingenuous. They need to learn to give credit where credit is due!

@@boristheviewbot6056 kinda. Because when you simp for someone you’re basically just being a tool for them but can’t see it because you’re so infatuated with them you’d do anything for them at the drop of a dime.

@@illhomemadetcg3218that’s actually very close to the current use of the word, just mr. Simp here simplified the meaning it for Steve. Thanks for sharing this as well, as I wasn’t aware either.
