Yo get this app out quick 😤😅

How long do you think, will it take, until you drop your app?

@@SI-rv9te Lmaooo

Is it a paid subscription or a free to use app?

Anyone knows a App to Learn Japanese or I need just wait for Ikenna App?

I feel like that’d be a feature they’d have to add later if they haven’t already. That or they’ll try to add too much and will go under cus lack of revenue

Sorry if this offends you but are you actually completely blind like 100%???

@@peroporque7651 Yes. Ever since I was born, my eyes won't stay open for long, and even if they did, all I see is... black, blank space. It's a neurological condition.

@@takuyamatsuda7214 accessibility from the get go is probably easier than tacking it on when the app is done

One of my students who I teach German to is blind and I was wondering what Apps I could recommend him. Do you have any recommendations of Apps that can easily be used by blind people for language learning?

I was looking for exactly this. Ty

Thanks for posting. I like Babble, but I think it is easy to agree how bad Rosetta Stone is.

On me

Dead🤣🤣🤣

@@quengdem2249 timestamp?

love it or hate it when duolingo points a gun at your head you have to teach yourself a language

Your one thousandth like

I definitely agree that Duolingo is far more useful when used in combination with something else, But I don't think it's really the users' fault, Atleast not entirely, Duolingo does very little, From what I've seen, To try and get you to use other things for learning the language, Especially when those things aren't directly connected to Duolingo, And I believe they even suggest in some places that you can learn the language pretty well solely through Duolingo.

@@rateeightxthey are connected directly

@@Dozier331 What other things can you use for learning a language that are directly connected to Duolingo?

It’s a practice app

@@extremejetfiredisagree. I use it for learning grammar, writing, vocab. Use anki for conjugation practice. language drops for vocab. duolingo podcast for comprehension. read lang for reading

Not only was the video informative, but it was also entertaining. Ikenna really drop a gem with this video

@@AfroLinguo Yes fr it adds some perspective and with his explanations I can truly see the app in its entirety.

@@stadi7992 what's the mystery app ???out

@@lavanyasaxena4326 I hear German is good too, you just have to pick the OG courses that have had a lot of time, a lot of contributors, a lot of community input, and a lot of learners (more incentive to fix/refine things that are the most popular as it keeps more people engaged which means more people viewing ads)

¿Hablas español? ;-) I am a native Spanish speaker, I learned English in school and the internet, mostly the internet. I also learned French at school, which I have 99.99% forgotten from disuse. I have used Duolingo to learn German, and also a bit of Russian. I have tried out a few other languages on there, but only a few lessons. Anything with an alphabet, sillabary etc other than the latin one I feel you are better off learning how to read and type elsewhere.

too' I'm also learning Japanese and it's really fun and effective for me.

Omg same bro

i dont like their woke approach but their methodology is proven and borderline unrivalled.

There are definitely some problems with Duolingo, But I will agree it does get somewhat of a bad wrap, It's still a lot better than many competitors, In some ways atleast.

​@@juhadexcelsior"woke" its a learning app dude

@@whyaminotoriginal i stand on what I said. Also duo is trash now, that paths update is hilariously awful 😂 I moved to Busuu

​@@juhadexcelsior How is Duolingo "woke"? 💀

LingoDeer is especially useful for Asian languages!

I love lingodeer so much:)

I really like Lingodeer, 100% recommended

I've never heard of lingodeer, I'm suprised it wasn't included in this video. Thanks for that

LingoDeer Plus is the gamified version 💕

Exactly lmao, why they have weird little known languages like swahili, but they dont have Russian, Hindi or Egyptian Arabic???

@@tismoineau2646 I'm learning Swahili 😂😂 but you are right, it's a little backwards isn't it

@@mannyk7100 just watch lion king😂

@@taste.witha.t 🤣🤣 good resource right there

@@mannyk7100 language transfer has Swahili, for those of you who want to hook up with pumbaa lol

Even that, i find duolingo one the best apps ever to learn, for me has been the most effective

While it definitely varies from language to language, And it seems to be worse now after one of their most recent updates, I'd say they do a decent job of teaching the grammar. If you just memorise every sentence you get, I'd say you're not doing it right, You're meant to come to a point where you can understand the sentences, Tell why they are how they are, And then apply that logic to other sentences you don't know, Or to ones you've forgotten.

​@@JoNesBlacKkrafkini it definitely depends on the language french is super easy on Duolingo, Russian how ever is much more difficult due to its grammar

right?? so much left to be desired with grammar

Lingodeer is better.

It is true that desktop versions aren't very popular, but I find them to be really helpful. It is easy to get stuff done on your computer as compared to your phone. Once you sit infront of your computer, your brain kinda lets you know that it is time to get serious.

Which one do you recommend ?

@@AfroLinguo which desktop ones do you recommend?

Up

You can run android apps on PCs, whether you are running Windows, MacOS or *nix Nowadays it's even built into Windows, but there is plenty of third party software to do so, line Nox Player or Bluestacks

The idea of telling them to fuck off in spanish or something then blocking is very funny to me

Yeah but they're stricter on the flirting now and ban anyone being flirty or sending pictures

which language are you learning? I can suggest my favorite recommendations

I think this video is in general not very valuable and pretty subjective. Just stop watching his videos. It helped me

@@hisfavleo Can you please suggest any app to learn Spanish?

@@phantasma9391Ouino, not very known but so underrated, i have the lifetime spanish purchase. it teaches verb conjugations, grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation

Unless they've really changed their approach, Rosetta Stone won't teach you a full language. I used Rosetta Stone German back when they were charging $600 for the full course; you can finish all 5 levels and still be a beginner. Depending on the language, you might be able to get pretty far using Duolingo + Tandem/HelloTalk (Duolingo for vocab/grammar, Tandem/HelloTalk for conversation practice), and by Googling any grammatical concepts you don't understand (Duolingo doesn't explain grammar, which can be frustrating). That's one of the most budget-friendly ways of learning. For about $200 you can also get a 1-year subscription to an Innovative Language course, which can get you to B1 (lower intermediate) or B2 (upper intermediate/proficient), depending on how popular the language is. Innovative Language will also teach you grammar and some conversation skills, so it's not frustrating like Duolingo.

So when are you going to start immersing in Hungarian?

@@Acro_LangLearn I visited my grandma in Hungary for a month this year to practice and she also came over for Christmas. Also now that I'm changing my career, I'll have more time to do audio courses and invest in an italki teacher. I also listen to a lot of Hungarian indie rock and I aim to learn the lyrics of some of my favourite songs.

@@coolpersonwithcake98 I wish you good luck with your studies! :)

It says it gets you to b1 is that true in actuality

@@YogaBlissDance I would say on the Spanish tree after level 5 is B1 level. But even if it only gets you to A2 that’s good considering it’s free

@Rei Did you gold every skill or did you do one crown on each and move on?

there’s an app called olingo that gives free books (like harry potter and such) that you can read in the language you’re learning!!

agreed!

I’m just hoping It helps with remembering grammar better and listening comprehension

@@newagehero9605 Well, you do not need to study grammar that much imo. I would just gloss through the grammar points and just consume content in my target language to internalize the grammar.

Still undecided, wont be expensive though (goal is under $9 a month) + we may do something where the price scales to the country you are in. So people in lower GDP countries aren't paying a few days salary for an app. Still undecided if there will be a free section of the app either, but either way we'll have a free trial system similar to Netflix. So people will be able to try it out and see if its for them prior to paying anything. :)

@@IkennaLanguages I have an idea. How about you make up a currency for the app and we buy the lessons with that currency? We can get the currency for free by running ads. If you don't want to run ads then you can get the premium trial.

I'm assuming that also applies to other languages as well? (English to swedish, or English to Finnish as an example)

it is, but what i can say for french from portuguese and english has a great content, even thought after being at a2 level you really should move foward from it, their events is deffinetly a plus point, can always find zoom rooms for practicing speaking, this is rally valuable.

whats a good one for english to japanese if you know?

Well... that's probably because the app was originally developed for native Spanish speakers only, cus as you probably know, or not, it was created in Guatemala (My country haha!). So I, for example, mostly use the app for French to Spanish and Japanese to Spanish, and the courses are actually really great!

@@Jaybird_102 I would probably say no...

I kinda agree with you here. I'm also really excited for the new app, but I feel like he tends to advertise it in a way that almost hurts the video sometimes...

Exactly! I committed this same mistake with a personal project of mine and it FOR SURE backlashed at me... you really gotta be reserved about getting emotionally hyped with this kinda stuff, as the human mind, when online, really expects 100 times what you're promising them.

@@dylanloomis Not even hurt the video - I worry that he's bordering on it being snakeoil for everyone's language learning problems. Learning languages is difficult, there's no magic way to make it easy, but he sure as hell is making me think so with how he advertises the app.

@@allebasaiadartse3951 "We are proud to present, but not misrepresent." I am worried he is bordering on misrepresenting it is all.

I agree! I am super excited about the app for sure. But I would call myself an experienced language learned so I believe to be able to judge how much even the most amazing app could do for you. Some people could mistakingly expect something like a magic pill thou and then get disappointed when they find out that they still need to put in the work and every app will have flaws when starting. Plus I am kind of starting to worry about how much it will cost to even be able to use it, as since he promotes it to such an insanely high standard, you'd expect it to cost an arm and a leg.

無理

I did

Bonjour

i tried french on duolingo and the only word i remember is bakery, which is boulangerie

@@LangXplorer Seems I happily stand corrected! After much hunting I found the community courses, bit of a process to get them into the official application but I'm happy I can access these resources now, thank you! Last time I checked I couldn't find it anywhere, they must like to keep it hidden. According to their official statement they were removed to promote the official approved courses. 😊

@@ktxu2181 They are unavailable on mobile but you can still find them on desktop version.

they removed mems though

Well, Ikenna’s not a translator so... The second best thing he could do is allow subtitles made by the community.

@@Acro_LangLearn Yeah, that's more doable hahaha

I was sad they didn’t have a course on Portuguese. 😔

@@magusreborn4684 Use the Michel Thomas Portuguese. The MT method is what influenced Language Transfer. They are similar.

Language Transfer is brilliant!

@@magusreborn4684 By the way, Language Transfer is only in the prototype stages for Brazilian Portuguese. That is the next language, that will be released from them. You did not mention the type of Portuguese, to learn.

I’m glad it worked for you. It didn’t work for me since I found it extremely boring, especially in one sit. I quit the app 4 minutes in the second lesson

Same for Busuu, better than babbel in a few features, but we were kept away from being A or S tier becauze 'it's dull' and 'a less popular version of Babbel' while personally it looks really modern and pleasing

@@HDTomo Yeah, While it's perhaps not the most engaging, I like Busuu because it feels like I'm making progress (Although I think it believes I've made much more than I have), Definitely helped by how they encourage you to write or speak your own sentences in the language, Which can then be corrected by native speakers to help with things they might not teach themselves.

Sorry im late, but im also trying to learn Indonesian. What apps would you recommend?

I prefer babble over busuu

What about the Vietnamese course? Asian language written in Roman alphabet.

Idk I found it great for learning french

Ñ

I wish Language Transfer had Courses in Russian, why don't they have Russian!!!

@@ItsameAlex exactly my thought ! Language transfer is awesome but it doesnt have russian 😭

yeah i have the same question i'm pretty good at english (i think) but my native is russian and i feel like learning a new language would be much easier if it is my native -> my goal language, not english -> my goal language

It’d be interesting to see if it’ll just be the 12 languages he knows and if there are more how he’s going to verify what’s good or not

@@damnyou296 if you use english for learning a new language you are basically learning 2 at the same time, two birds with one stone💪

@@amandasandstrom9440 He literally said he is pretty good at it, there is no need

Its still there senpai

Hey heads up the lower button on your mobile website "get the ikkena method" does not work

Hey Ikenna. I want to enroll in your course. What does the Online Tutor Master do? It requires a $30 additional fee. Is it some sort of real online tutor or was it recorded?

@@sasukeuchiha8648 its another course that breaks down how to best use tutors on italki to improve your speaking. Not necessary to get it in order the ikenna method though

I trust in your opinion ikenna with my respects for you.

Can you teach me some Spanish? Im learning it rn

@@justinherrera3722 Well, think of it's translation as more formal English. Alot of the words in Spanish, are in English as Latin words. But they're things that we don't use except in formal or technical settings. Like, mastication. Masticacion. Masticar. To chew. Usually, any word that ends with "tion" is Latin and can be converted. There's also some popular verbs that are often mistranslated. Gustar for example confuses people because it's from the perspective of the object. It doesn't mean to like. It means to please. So 'Lo me gusta" means more like "it me it pleases." it doesn't say anything about what you like. Same with encantar. This doesn't mean that you "love" something. It means to enchant. But it's used in the metaphorical way. You're saying that something "enchants" you. Meaning, it pleases you. But, looking deeper, cantar means to sing. Singing and Chanting are similar, aren't they? So, encantar really means something like "ensing" or "insing" technically speaking. So when you meet someone and they say "encantado" it means "enchanted" in the metaphorical sense. Focus on things like that I guess. Let the similarities between Spanish and the Latin in English be the place to start, and then find out what it really means. Learning literal meanings can help with understanding concepts. Ikenna reccomend language transfer all the time. It's definitely worth listening to.

I'm not sure how fair it'd be to include those features when they are only available for limited languages.

This does exist though lol

@@matth3657 really? Which one?

@@matth3657 I would like to know which app or if there is a way using anki

I wanted my cards to auto play so that I can listen to it before bed.

I think he mostly rated the two apps different coz language transfer is supposed to just be audio files and lessons, whereas the beginning app is SUPPOSED to be motivating and fun but he just didn’t find it motivating. So there’s a little bit of a difference in the purposes of the apps that probably made him rate them differently, but I see where you’re coming from

Personally, I find it very motivating because, like he mentioned, it offers so many useful shortcuts!! Ex: shared endings on cognates in Eng/Spanish and Eng/french; consonant shifts between Eng/German, etc. Those feel like little gold nuggets for me, especially when I‘ve only just begun learning. So, he may not consider it to be not motivating! Pimsleur, on the other hand, I find way too slow. To each their own!

You missed another lesson yesterday. You know what happens now.

Agreed. Learning Japanese here too. I've used a bit of Rosetta Stone, Memrise, Duolingo, Michel Thomas, just started Rocket Languages. The one i'm most impressed with and feel that i've learnt the most is with Michel Thomas.

Is there a video where they teach to set it up correctly for learning a language, I would appreciate it if you could help

Too painful, I just want my deck to play automatically with text to speech so I can listen to it but after many days of trying to fix it, i still couldn’t find a solution.

Use HELLOCHINESE, this app is fantastic !!

@@iamfenicia oh alright! I will check it out, thank you so much!

@@iamfenicia Hi🙋🏻‍♂️. What apps in Chinese exist to learn languages? For example i wanna learn Russian in Chinese language.

Michel Thomas/Paul Noble then move to Glossika

Also, Assimil's 'Sans Peine', series

Language transfer and Babble. Both are serious approaches to the languages and they are pretty cut and dry interface wise.
