Honestly, this is almost exactly how I learned English... Only there was no Internet back then, no smartphones, no Google Translate. So I did it offline. With a dictionary. Started translating songs - guessing the spelling from hearing, then started watching movies - pausing after every sentence and translating in the same manner. It'd take me up to 3 days to watch a single picture. But now, 20 years later, I still remember almost every quote from my favourite ones! Winning all trivia drinking contests since 1999. Also, there was a time when movies were available online but without captions and guess who was very good at making those. One of my better jobs - was literally paid to watch blockbusters pre-release.

Your story about not remembering the word "president" in Korean, and instead saying "The CEO of the country" is very important for language learners. It is called circumlocution. You cannot get stuck on a word. You just have to find another way to say it. If you don't know the word for car, you can say "Mercedes" or "thing that goes fast on the road", or whatever. But do not get stuck. This is crucial for language learners because they will get stuck and it will ruin their attempt to speak the language.

@kayleighlevitt2741 11 ай бұрын

what are methods to recover from circumlocution if it does happen?

@ronlugbill1400 11 ай бұрын

@kayleighlevitt2741 write a word or a sentence on a sheet of paper. Find as many ways as you can to say the same thing. Opposites are often a good choice. Another way to say "smart" is "not stupid". Or to describe it. It's an animal that sometimes lives in a house. Has a tail. Makes a noise. Etc. Do not get stuck, thinking of what is that word. Find another way to say it. Because it will take 10 years to know every word in a foreign language. You need to be able to function with a limited active vocabulary for now.

If I'm confused or don't understand something I can talk to a character again or look at the pause menu to see my objectives. I think it's a really good way of learning.

I did 4 years of high School German. I was amazed to find the language Educational films we used (black and White made in the late 1950's) still available on the youTube. The series is called "Guten Tag." If you know some German you will quickly get bored of it but if you are a beginner they are excellent. The episodes are about 15 mins long. Never thought I'd use it again but ended up getting a job in Germany in a German speaking only workplace (they were very patient!) Learning another language opens so many doors.

I think that we shouldn't undervalue watching basic children's shows. If you can find a dub in your target language, it offers you a free pass to re-experience a piece of your childhood with fresh eyes. It especially helps if you pick a show where the characters talk directly to the audience a lot. For instance, Pistas de Blue, the spanish dub of Blue's Clues. Or, on Disney+ I started watching Bear in the Big Blue House when I go to bed, which has been fun and relaxing. Love your channel btw, your comprehensible input videos are great. note: the only problem with dubs is you won't pic up on mouth movements or they could be distracting, but that's not really an issue with a puppet show like Bear in the Big Blue House

I love how you let your Spanish accent shine through. Some online language coaches and teachers suppress their native accent actively, causing them to sound strange even though they're proficient in English. It's so much more natural sounding when your native accent is still there with the what a person has acquired of the target language accent.

I agree. Next to living in the country of the target language, this is the best way (after achieving some proficiency). I would also recommend audiobooks--not only by repeatedly listening to the book chapter by chapter, but by, yes, copying the text by hand, word for word, which I continue to do till this day. But once you achieve advanced mastery, this copy-writing is no longer necessary; just listening should suffice. Frequency dictionaries are also useful. I have one all-time favorite book that I've copied, word for word, in three different languages. Language acquisition is just a life-time effort. Like staying in shape. Y, a propósito, sos muy linda.

I've been watching Spanish language movies on Netflix to try to improve my comprehension skills (Spanish language movies tend to be dreadfully cheesy, but that's neither here nor there...) and the trick I hit on was to change the speed to .75 of the normal speed. It's barely noticeable in terms of enjoying the movie, but it makes a HUGE difference in terms of being able to understand what is being said. Of course, they speak proper Spanish in movies (albeit it's usually South American Spanish, with all those ustedes and carros...), whereas I live in Granada, where they speak their own version of Spanish, which seems to be based on the principle that consonants - like car indicators - are superfluous and must never be used.

Visual cues are extremely important to learn a language, sensory stimulation is the reason you learn faster by living in a place the language is spoken, as opposed of just reading textbooks or glossaries. That is how babies obtain their mother language, they don't even learn it, they just naturally obtain and absorb it, with inputs from the environment around them, association of visual cues with sounds (that they eventually form words)

KZfaq videos are also usually the perfect size, movies can get too long and having to try to follow the plot in a foreign language can get exhausting.

While I 100% agree, movies with their narratives (especially if already watched in your NL) are often much easier to understand. I find that right now in Japanese I can understand most animes and movies without too much problem (will miss some specifics but will be able to follow what's happening) but then will have to put my 100% concentration to follow a YT video. As a result, anime relaxes me and KZfaq tires me.

What tips do you have for finding content in your dialect of choice? I’m working on Costa Rican Spanish (tico Spanish) because my gf is from Costa Rica and I’m trying to communicate better with her family. I’d love to learn the colloquialisms and such but idk how to find that content over mexican Spanish or Castilian

유익한 영상 감사합니다. 스페인어를 배우기 위해 수백개의 유트브 영상을 보았는데, 선생님 만든 영상이 단연 최고입니다. 스페인어 선생님 중에 "대통령" 이라고 해도 과언이 아닐 것 같습니다. Muchas gracias y tenga un buen día!

It's more about the visual message that the movie transmits to the audience which will make the language compriencible with just a movement u can explain everything but if you had language to accentuate the movement the audience will get it and understand it.

Could you please recommend some Spanish 'classic' movies to watch using this method? Spanish is my third foreign language and I have learnt a lot about the other two through cinema. But it seems that most movies that I can find in Spanish right now are modern and sometimes made for TV -- not necessarily very good. Are there any older ones that you would recommend? Where I'm from, we somehow just don't know a lot about Spanish and Spanish-language cinema

Thank you Laura I agree with everything you've said except for this part of "analyzing" because as you know when using comprehensible input all we want to do is to learn the language subconsciously and by "analyzing" tht will turn into learning consciousply In my opinion as a language leaner you need to be a bit patient at the beginning and watch some boring kids shows as I did learning Spanish and English, I've watched Peppa pig , callo ,bluey , Pocoyó and others and after watching for a sufficient time I'm now able to understand movies and tv shows for natives more than the natives themselves 😊 I'm just kidding 😂 But I can really understand them forgetting that this is in a foreign language Thanks again Laura, I hope that you come with new Comprehensible input content soon ❤❤

I tried to watch SpongeBob SquarePants in Spanish thinking it would be easy as it’s aimed at children. It was some of the hardest Spanish I’ve come across! I had no idea what most of the expressions and vocabulary meant. Pocoyó is thankfully much more straightforward.

Yeah I watch a lot of Netflix shows in Spanish and I really like K-Dramas, so I'm starting to learn that. I'm also starting to learn Portuguese through worship singers. If I watch a cartoon then it's a cartoon that I enjoy and already know. I do have Lingo Pie.
