I succeeded in acquiring English, but failed in Chinese.
With a drastic strategy change, I successfully got myself back on the track once again.
I will be sharing 3 lessons I learned from my failure so you won't make the same mistakes.
Hope it helps your language learning.

It’s great to hear someone talk about language learning in this way. Every other LL KZfaqr seems to study for 2-6 hrs per day and be either in their 20’s or 60’s+ and not have young children to care for. It sounds counterintuitive to throw out the deadlines/smart goals and focus on one resource at a time, but this is just what I’ve fallen into after about a year of active language learning as well. I found that just focusing on Language Transfer audio lessons for a few months garnered me more than trying to balance a little bit of audio lessons, a little bit of Netflix dubs, a little bit of grammar workbooks, a little bit of translation exercises etc. Once I’ve completed the audio lessons I’ll tackle the grammar and reading/writing more. Sometimes these productivity ‘hacks’ can get in the way of what really works for us, and being more flexible will get us further than If we struggle then burn out quickly.

Thank you for the comment. I mean it's best if we could study for many hours but the problem is that not everyone has that time everyday as you may feel the same. So for those who have a limited amount of time for learning, in my opinion, keep learning has a higher priority than trying to learn a lot a day or fast, and small steps could be a way to help us do so. It's also great to know that focusing on one thing helped you!

I subscribed last night, i listened to latest vid as I drifted off to sleep funny enough. I’m a native English speaker who has been studying Vietnamese for about 2 1/2 years. I did textbook study in class first, then started listening to music to help with pronunciation and broaden my cultural understanding. I then had the chance after 2 years, to go to VN for a study abroad traveling program for one semester. I lived with a homestay family for 2 months in Hồ Chí Minh city then lived by myself, and assisted teaching English for 1 month in Nha Trang. With 3 weeks on the road with my group somewhere inbetween. After coming home, after 3 months of reading listening (not as much fluent speaking 😅) I felt like my ability had dwindled. And I began feeling like I had no ability or chance to progress. So, everyday since I’ve been back I’ve listened to Vietnamese KZfaqrs, everything from aquariums to police bodycam footage breakdowns. Anything you’re slightly interested in, JUST LISTEN

Well done. Do you do anything else but listen? Do you write the transcription like Nate?

@bruhman8005 17 күн бұрын

@@CauterizeKing no, I did translations through a pretty accurate app. However, thanks to his videos and other (besides my own affirming experience) that it hinders your progression since you rely on translation rather than understanding. To answer your question, no. I do other things than listening like reading books for kids along with adult materials and social media. But I will start doing shows when I can find some with captions

Your videos is very informative and feels genuine at the same time, idk i mean other youtubers that claims they learn this language in just 24 hours or a week, i know it's a bs and just for the content, but for some learners that could be demotivating for some reasons, so yeah please keeps doing what you're doing 😅

Chasing degrees and language certificates doesn't make you smart. It often makes you a one-trick pony

You make so many good points here. My experience is a lot like yours: I started by trying to commit too much time to language learning -- essentially raising my affective filter by adding stress to the process because my schedule couldn't handle it -- and having too many sources of input or practice. When I threw out the timeline and focused on enjoying what I was doing, using one source at a time for long periods, then I started to make progress.

今天才看到你的影片，我現在正在學日文，覺得比學英文更難，英文和日文雖然都有不同時態，更文更難在於跟不同輩分之間的對話說法也有分別！😅

What should I do if i couldn't understand a specific word even after translating it , or don't know how to use it or the difference between it and the other synonyms that are close in meaning to it ??

@CauterizeKing 17 күн бұрын

Have you noticed a good improvement in your listening comprehension when you don't often review your episodes and you stop regularly to note things down? I would think that it would interrupt your brain's subconscious ability to acquire the language. Interested in your thoughts.

@natenoto 16 күн бұрын

For me, that's the starting line, to match what the word means and what it actually sounds like. I eventually do review over and over again and that way I can improve my listening comprehension. So, in my case, understanding the meaning and sound comes first, and then I get to used to the sound and speed over time. It's just comfortable when I stop and understand. When I don't understand, I don't feel like I am acquiring the language. I'm not trying to deny your thoughts/ways, it's just how I feel and do, just in case.

Hi, thanks for your useful video about learning language. My question is that when you acquire language through reading and listening, definitely you reading and listening skills will be improved very quickly over time, but i think speaking won't, i have more than b2 level of English in reading and listening but speaking is lower than A2 level, without thinking almost can't say anything, if i could say something there will be enough mistakes in it. So what techniques would you suggest particularly to improve speaking skill? If you filmed video about speaking separately, it would be Great. I think it is also big problem for others who are learning languages.

@natenoto 23 күн бұрын

I think it's normal that speaking skills improve later than reading and listening skills. Same as my case. I kept watching and learning from video content. Aside from Friends, I used to watch my favorite KZfaqrs (like Kevjumba, nigahiga, etc) It's unfortunate that they don't make hilarious videos anymore but you can find other channels you like. I started with mimicking some of the phrase that I liked and mumbled them over and over again until I became able to say them without thinking. And then gradually I tried to speak out my thoughts on my own (just by myself), and at first I didn't come up with the right words/phrases in most cases, but in that case I always looked up how native speakers would speak in a correct way. It of course took time, but I kept doing that, and then gradually became able to comfortably speak my thoughts. This is just my way and there can of course be others that fit you better, but I think your B2 reading and listening is pretty a good foundation to choose any. Thanks for the comment, I will consider making a video about speaking!

@javohirquvondikov3800 23 күн бұрын

Thanks for giving answer. I was also thinking like that so I made about 10 sentence including words which mostly belong to B2 level of English through chatgpt for each word I had learnt, then translated into my native language, then translated back into my target language on my own, then compared them that where I made mistakes, definitely it was helping but it took so much time. Because of that I asked. Again thanks, I made sure that I am on the right way to improve speaking.
