He makes amazing content but over explains 😂 it's gut but slow

@@Xlicty I rather have someone detailing everything. Plus I love his positive energy.

@@itsrx870 Facts 🤔😂

I legit watched on 2x Geschwindigkeit 😂.... Great content sire. Ich habe sofort abonniert. Feel like the video could have been made at most 10 minutes lange No offense, ich sage gerade.... Danke für das geniales Video.

Thanks

Ja wie ist dine German jezt

I think she IS German

so true. they absolutely DONT correct you unless you ask them too. but even i dont like correcting everything i hear a non native say when they ask me to because it can stall the conversation and make one more hesitant in speaking.

I agree. By the way, it's baffling how self-centered some language learners can be. For some reason, they expect, or even feel entitled to demand, random native speakers to be their teachers for free. If a native speaker talks with a non-native, it's because they want to meet them and not to work as their teacher for free. Can anyone imagine if you were the native speaker and had to interrupt the non-native after every sentence to correct and explain their mistakes? That'd be anything but enjoyable and would feel like work.

Great comments, thanks. The exceptions are some French people, who will become indignant if you err. I heard they have a culture that's proud of their language and low tolerance of people sloppy with it. I prefer to be corrected.

Thanks for this encouraging comment, Michel! I totally agree that the method has to be adapted to each person and what they enjoy and need 😄 I really appreciate the support!

Ahh I do love the sound of Turkish 😍 Great point about the phonetic alphabet!

I agree with you guys We read how we write something ,after you know the alphabet you will not have a big problem Greetings from Turkey. 😊

speaking as someone who is a native in bulgarian, which is the same in its phonetics I can definitely agree on that statement. Makes life easier =D

Hungarian too.

Haha 🤣 you think so

How you did it? Im fucking (sorry for my french) in New York , but even in this country even english is native language i cant learn 😫 give me hint plsssssss

@@hfarida8466 so for me, I could spell. and I knew a decent amount of words, Since I read a lot. but I had no idea what a noun, predicate, verb, adjective, subject, object or anything of the sort was. So before I could even start learning another language. I had to reteach myself what all of that (and more) was just to be able to understand simple sentence structures.

@@berryblumoon I think you don't need to learn all grammar before you start learning a new language, just learn it as youre going. Learning Spanish taught me a lot about object and indirect objects and it also made me notice my own language. I already knew about subject-verb link Korean has taught me about adjectival phrases and adverbial phrases but it's screwed me up on subject because they use the term slightly differently. It's also made me more conscious of transitive and intransitive verbs (but I'm only intermediate at Korean, so I think I'll learn more) Lately I've been dabbling in Filipino and it looks like I'm going to finally ave to get my head around what the predicate is, which I've tried to learn before but simply couldn't understand. So yeah, I'm learning grammar STILL

I only went to primary and secondary modern. INn England they stopped teaching grammar to sec mod kids in the early 1960's. I find grammar fascinating now , I'm still learning english grammar now and it helps me with understanding the italian and spanish that I'm learning. If you try and build a house on mud it will sink, you need foundations !

@@solea59 exactly! That's what I ended up realizing in the end. 😂 every time the lesson I was studying said anything about grammar, I was just lost. So I had to go back to my roots and make sure, I understood that in the first place.

American English speaker. I didn't know "at the weekend" was a thing.

That's interesting. So "on the weekend" is an 'Australianism' as well as an Americanism. As a Scottish English speaker, I'd say "at the weekend". Guess it's mainly a matter of custom what you say but to my ear there seems to be a subtle difference in meaning. "At the weekend" implies at the end of a period of time as in "I'll do it at the end of the month", whereas, "on the weekend" kind of treats 'the weekend' like a specified day of the week as in "I'll do it (on) Friday".

@@kevingeoghegan294 yeah, when I say "on" the weekend, it means the same in my head as "on" Friday. We do say "at" the end of the month.

Thanks so much for the support, Jimmy! I'm really glad you found my channel and love the content!! 🙏🏼

You're very welcome @EFoxVN! I'm really glad that you found this to be helpful in reinforcing what you were already doing intuitively!

ME2..I also get stuck🤦,

U r learning korean?

moi aussi! je suis indonésienne et en train d’apprendre le français ^^ d’où venez-vous?

Thanks Mia! 😊🌻

I second that🤗

Cool

Your written English is amazing, as a native speaker, I can't see any errors, except for capitalization, but we don't really pull people up on that unless it's in a formal sense. Thank you for telling us your story, it's amazing, I myself am learning Icelandic, I've only just started and I find listening to music and shadowing it with lip-syncing really helps with internation, so I'm hoping to be able to speak it fluently enough that people can understand me and I just like the language in general. Your English is really good, by the way.

@@stardustfury1180 thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Wish you luck with learning Icelandic and all the best.

Alexa A Thank you, I wish you luck with learning more of English if you ever need to learn more. I believe you never stop learning and English in my personal opinion is by far the weirdest Language.

@@stardustfury1180 Thank you one more time for all nice words. And why do you think that English is the weirdest Language?

Which language r u learning?

Thank you Dhay! I'll be happy to talk more about learning German soon 😄 I also have the new "Reviving My German" series playlist here just in case you haven't seen that yet: kzfaq.info/sun/PLuIhQdwUVqqoHpBI5yAX8yfbc2ap7SkFX

@@RobinMacPhersonFilms yessss, i love your german videos!!

I did something similar to learn to roll my r's. Practiced walking around town, exaggerating the heck out of it in words. You can imagine me saying "brrrrrrrook" over and over till I learned that. Then slowly adding in other sounds before and after the rrrr.

It's been a year now and after using his method did it help ??

Interesting question, I will be also waiting for an answer.

Feliz lunes Annieeeeee, abrazos!! ☀️

@@RobinMacPhersonFilms abrazos! Si quieres practicar español y sacarle el óxido me avisas 😎

Oye who r ya dude? How many languages r ya learning?🙄,,,I didn't finished leaning English yet,n u r leanin'chinese , japanese 😞😫😭

Good idea

try to speak about topics you enjoy or you are familiar with. it might help

yeah I wanna hear Robin talking to himself in his target language, practicing modifying and extending sentences while he's in the shower [er... no camera required ;)] or washing up.

Hola me parece curioso que siempre cometas los mismos errores semana tras semana, no dudo de tu tutor pero definitivamente algo está pasando... saludos!

@@alobo_78 pues es algo muy simple... yo digo muchas veces por ejemplo "lo hombre he dicho..." y el correcto es "el hombre".. yo estoy casi superando ese error pero eso es algo que viene de mi lengua materna (portugués) entonces a pesar de parecer algo sencillo no lo es para mi, porque el portugués está siempre en mi cabeza para esas trampas jeje

Hey @Professor X! Thanks for sharing your perspective! I agree that output is an important part of the process (for some people earlier, for others later), and I believe that part of the method I described here is also learning through output. I do want to say that I'm not against talking to tutors or native speakers at all. I think my main hope with these two videos was to show people that if you are in a situation where you either can't talk to another person or perhaps don't feel comfortable doing so (if somebody is very introverted or shy, for example), it is still totally possible to learn the language 😊 This is just how I personally enjoy learning and I have seen a lot of people say things like "I want to learn Portuguese, but I don't have anyone to talk to and I can't afford a tutor, so I can't learn it". I want to help those people understand that they can still be successful! If somebody enjoys talking to native speakers at an earlier point in their journey, or they can afford to pay for a tutor and enjoy it, I think that's wonderful 😄 Personally, I would love to have a tutor once I reach that basic fluency level and I can really get lots of incredible value in improving how naturally and accurately I speak, and I can also enjoy the conversation with them! But I can definitely understand that you would prefer to do that earlier in the process. Thank you again for sharing and supporting me!

@@o_felipe_reis ahhh entiendo.... "El hombre ha dicho" .. . Recuerda la conjugación del verbo haber en tercera persona ... Yo he, Tu has, Ella / El ha. Se que no es fácil. Yo entiendo portugués cuando lo escucho pero se que es fácil confundirse al escribir... Ánimo!

@@RobinMacPhersonFilms Thanks for your response! Yeah I also think that studying alone is way better than don't study at all due to the lack of tutors. We can learn alone I agree with you and yeah I do prefer having a tutor to identify my main mistakes and correct them earlier on. Thanks again and one more time: amazing video! Stay safe!

U seem good in English...u r still learnin'english?

Serpent Devil haha no, thank you! But English is my native language (well...”Scots” Bein from scotland) but I’m learning German :)

I am English. We would say something like, ' I am too busy now but I will do it at the weekend'

As far as I know, "AT the weekend" is used in British English..."ON the weekend" in American one, amirite?!☺️

Yes this is exactly what I do as well! I wanted to also show how I grab sentences from places like books and TV shows in this video but it was getting long. I also do this with podcasts, basically any authentic content I can get my hands on!

@@RobinMacPhersonFilms I noticed that I take sentences from books also. I just came across a couple of sentences from the Teach Yourself series in my notebooks. This is a great method! I am able to construct an entire conversation from my notes.

@@taino20 could be bad for things like french. French does inversions when written and uses nous a lot. But spoken you use inflection more and "on" instead of nous.

@@muttlanguages3912 Yes, you cannot depend solely on the written word in French. That is why it is important to watch movies and soap operas to learn how people really talk in everyday life.

I'd recommend using Deepl instead of Google translate. The translations are usually way better :)
