12.5 years and still a failure in learning and acquiring Tagalog. I have sent several emails to LingQ asking for someone I can pay to tell me what is wrong. From conventional lessons to over 1,500 hours of stories read to me and now LingQ have failed. I am unable to understand talk or speak. Why? I am now struggling to do LingQ lessons since I thought there would be improvement. It has not taken place. -- George DeCarlo

Hi, Steve. I have been using the premium service of LingQ for two years. The plataform is very great but the support is the opposite. As I had to sent a lot of emails to LingQ support in order to solve my problems and they don't respond me. I decide speak directly with you. I will resume my problem and put the email that I related this problem to support. 1. In order to improve my skills on reading russian cursive I had sent this: Sep 9, 2023 Hi, I need to improve my Russian cursive reading skills. To do this, I'd like to ask if it's possible to add fonts to LingQ that allow us to set audio transcripts in Russian cursive? I think this task is very simple and will be very useful for all the people studying Russian on LingQ. Please, do it. Best regards, Wagner. ______________________________________________________________________ 2. I notice a VERY BIG PROBLEM in ''days of progress''. Hi, Yesterday I noticed that my daily progress at night was erased and since I've been studying every day for a long time, I had to run to prevent my progress of 475 days from being erased. Today again, the same thing happened. This time, expecting it to happen, I took the screenshots that prove my story. PLEASE correct this mistake. I guess that this "reset" happens around 11pm. But I don't know when it started, I only noticed it yesterday and today. I believe that I and many other people could be very badly affected by this. Attached are the screenshots. I want to not lose my days of progress. I'll highlight today's date for you to see. If you can't read LingQ in Russian, just translate it using an application that translates images(THIS IS BESAUSE MY LINGQ IS IN RUSSIAN) _______________________________________________________________________________ Apologies for my grammatical mistakes, but I know you'll understand me.

One month ago I came back to London. I had spoken not English at all since my last visit to UK (3 years ago - Covid put me off of traveling) And I was really surprised, greatly surprised, to discover that my English spoken was in the same condition that it was three years ago.But I need to say that I've never stopped reading and listening English, as a daily routine. And I'd strongly recommend keeping on reading and listening always.. And don't worry if you don't have many opportunities to speak . Greetings from Spain

True,as a person who learning Japanese, even though I learned some some common japanese words ,I couldn't recognize them from native speakers. Because they are speaking fast .so only reading will not be enough and listening is important too.i just do pronounce fast and everything,whether I can understand or not.i pick the most useful words list first,and then I will learn proper grammar on my way.pronouce with native speakers yourself. Thats the only way if people want to study their target language by self study.greetings from south india.

Now it makes more and more sense compared to classic vocabular lists, grammar basics, anki , etc. This video helps a lot to use lingq. I've decided to start learning Japanese with your method. I'll see how I progress in a few months.

This was my number one question since starting LingQ a week ago. I’m around B1 level in Italian and have identified 1407 known words and created 387 LingQs in my first week. I can read extensively if the material is not too difficult but have a much more difficult time understanding what I hear especially if it’s at typical speed. However, it’s in my nature to read intensively to make sure I’ve understood every detail and the subtleties of the material. So I really like your suggestion to listen first and then read to fill in the gaps. At this stage I think it’s still worthwhile for me to go back and listen again after reading to try to hear the details I missed the first time through and only picked up through reading. I think LingQ is exactly what I need to take my Italian to the next level, which for me means passing the B1 exam so I can apply for citizenship as a spouse. Thanks!

Same, but I've recently met the proponents of ALG method which are very in favour of listening from the very start, claiming that combining it with visual input is superior to relying on translations. I'm still not convinced, because it feels so slow when you don't know enough vocabulary.

Very good advice Mr. Kaufmann. As a teacher, I let my students listen to a video without subtitles to get "a feel" of the language. I then I let them listen with the subtitles. After that, we go over the vocabulary in the video and listen to the video once again.

That "subvocalizing" is a big part of why I wanted to learn French. I could understand it a fair bit when reading, but had no sense of what it sounds like, and what I heard in my head sounded more like Spanish.

thank you 1. How are Reading and listening connected When we Read we make subvocal in our thoughts where we internally speak that word out. This also applies to listening. 2. Reading and listening as a beginner He would try to make an effort to pronounce a word, then he would listen to that word to make corrections to his attempt. And this process repeats 3. Reading and listening as an intermediate learner. He would listen first then go in and read the word that he didn't understand. And this process repeats.

Thank you for the video! It's a really interesting topic for me. I've been learning English for several years, predominantly through reading. As a result, now my vocabulary is at a very high level. I can take any article and I understand almost every word. About a week ago, I decided to focus on improving my Listening skills. And I noticed, that while I understand English teachers (becauce they pronounce words separately), I struggle to understand other native speakers (due to connected speech). I spent a lot of time this week to listen speech that is difficult to me. I listen, read subtitles, slow down the speed of the video (BTW, that's an extremely effective method). Then I listen again, again and again until I understand. And I've already noticed how my listening skills really get better! After just one week!!! So, in my view, it's a really good idea to read firstly (it helps you to learn vocabulary and grammar) and listhen secondly!

When learning a brand new language do you recommend only reading and listening at first? Speaking later when one has a basic competence and sound of the language in one’s mind. That is what I am doing with Italian. Listening and reading and picking up sounds and patterns similar to Spanish (which I speak).

I've learned English by myself with books and records 40 years ago. For me it was better to listen first and try to learn the sentences, the rythm of the speech was important too. I found that the pronunciation of some English words are far from what is written, and many people make the mistake of pronounce then guided by the writing.

Steve, how come you did not mention anything about pronunciation. To my mind this is a key point of learning any language. When I learn a language (right now is Deutsch) I am trying to reproduce the words exact the same way, original speakers pronounce them. And you know what? I observed that when you are trying to pronounce the words as original speakers, it takes me much faster to learn the words. Maybe I am wrong, but it helps me..

Comparto, respetuosamente, una inquietud: Una cosa es aprender y entender el inglés hablado y otra, completamente diferente, es entender el inglés escrito. Leer subtítulos en inglés sirve, pero en fase posterior al aprendizaje de los sonidos y a su asociación sonora con los significados. Por eso, puedes pasarte meses o años, leyendo subtítulos en inglés o textos escritos en inglés, y tal vez aprendas a leer inglés, pero no a escucharlo y entender lo que escuchas, tal como lo evidencian millones de personas. Se necesita aprender naturalmente (como en la temprana infancia) los nuevos sonidos y su significado, pero dentro de lo sonoro, de lo auditivo, o sea, usar la vía directa entre corteza auditiva y área de Wernicke. Esta área asocia la señal auditiva o sonora con la representación de los sonidos guardada en la memoria. Cuando logremos guardar esas representaciones en la memoria, su significado será igual para cualquier idioma. El asunto es asociar el nuevo sonido a esa representación hasta familiarizarnos y reconocerlo automáticamente. Entonces la propuesta es, NO leer el subtítulo en inglés, sino oír la expresión en inglés hablado por un nativo, e inmediatamente después, escuchar el significado de esa expresión hablado oralmente en el propio idioma, y luego repetir esa asociación muchas veces. Repetir y repetir, hasta que sonido y significado (o sea la representación) se asocien en tu cerebro. Es como cuando aprendes un sinónimo en tu idioma: el código sonoro cambia, pero el significado permanece y sirve para el sonido viejo y para el nuevo. El circuito neurológico de la lectura, donde entran en juego la corteza visual primaria y secundaria para procesar la información visual de las palabras que vemos, es muy diferente al de la escucha y el habla, donde juegan las áreas de Broca y de Wernicke, y esa diferencia implica barreras, entre ellas, la subvocalización errónea o mal pronunciada. Cuando ya tengas el sonido grabado en tu cerebro, ahora sí aprende a leer el inglés ayudado con los subtítulos o textos. “Primero el caballo y después la silla”

Thanks Steve, I watched your other video about listening and that advice has helped me. I used to get so frustrated listening, because I was listening with the intent to understand/comprehend everything. Now, I realize I have to listen to get a feel of the language and listen to what is being said. That way, I've been able to pick up more words and then look for the definition. My experience is that listening/reading feed off eachother, because vice versa, I've been able to understand more listening, by hearing a words I just read.

I'm unsure about sub-vocalisation being the link between speaking and reading more just understanding it since there are people who don't subvocalise and who speak the language as well you find the speed readers do not sub-vocalising hence comprehension doesn't need sub-vocalisation which (the comprehension) I think may be more important than hearing a voice

We usually don't realize that we are sub-vocalizing when reading our own language but apparently in our brains we do. It is more obvious when we are reading in another language.

When I was learning English I didn't understand the majority of phrases until 2 1/2 years studying, but I could reading a lot of things, I still can't understand half of songs mainly those that are fastly sang, but in anyway in English as a Portuguese native speaker is too much more easier for me reading than listening, mainly because in English a letter can have a lot of sounds, examples wAnted, cAr, And, and a lot of letters can have a similar sound, jUst, wAs, wOndering, etc. It makes English pronunciation very hard for students, after sometime you learn how to pronounce it but in low English skills new words don't make sense comparing their writing and listening

Hi Kauã. I’m the opposite. Native English speaker from the US learning Brazilian Portuguese. I have the same difficulties with listening being very difficult but this is because there is so much slang used in colloquial speech. And also Brazilians tend to shorten many words. If you ever need someone to practice with, let me know. I’d be happy to help you with your English.

@@danielandrews9736 Lol so true. I just realized how much we use slang when i started to learn a third language by myself. The usage of “está” for example is a good example because nobody says like that we just say “tá”. There is a lot like this and multiple variations too due the regionalism ( Brazil is a damn huge country) and formalism and colloquialism.

But thats a general difficult of all languages - i’ve been through tough times with french, which the writing and pronunciation are completely different. The key is just to acquire the language and do not bother to precise every single detail. One day will come when you will master this without realizing.

Creo que es lógico escuchar primero y leer después ya que haci aprenden los niños. Creo que el problema de la gente que no entiende los nativos es porque cuando lee lo hace en su idioma y cuando van a escuchar no suena igual y se complica mucho. Y no escuchan el idioma porque usan subtitulos y cuando usas subtitulos solo lees y no escuchas tu crees que haces las dos cosa a la vez pero es falso solamente estas leyendo para poder entender y tu cerebro le da más enfoque a una actividad que la otra. Por lo tanto estarías como leyendo un 80% y escuchando un 20%. Hay Creo que está el problema de muchos.

@@cowboy1471 yo completamente discordo de usted, cuando estava estudiando ingles, tenia 2 horas para eso, e en la metad yo solo escuchava y la otra metad yo leeia y usaba flashcards, que tienen audio. Entonces en más de la metad del tiempo, yo estava escuchando. Y sobre escuchar seer más difícil o más sensillo, para leer, tienes que conocer las palabras, para escuchar, tienes que conocer las palabras, conocer el acento de quien hablas, tienes que tener la habilidad de compreender connected speech, que és cuando hablas 2 o más palabras como se fosse una, y para leer podés volver y leer nuovamente, para escuchar no. Y sobre bebes, ellos no tienen textos para leer, la unica maneja de ensina los és hablando con ellos, en adultos no, nosoltros podremos hacer varias cosas diferentes, y cuando ensinamos los ninos a escribir, ellos aprienden en pocos meses o semanas, pero para apreender a escuchar ellos solo conseguen en 4, 5 anos.

Been learning Portuguese for almost 2 years and I've learned a lot, yes. But I'm just not happy where I am so I'm very very burnt out and disappointed of course. Hopefully soon I'll want to learn again. Just no motivation as of now. Was thinking of starting Italian. 1 cause I'm curious if "starting over " will make me appreciate where I am in Portuguese. (Although Portuguese is my 1st foreign language so of course it's the most difficult) and #2 I would LOVE to be able to read The divine comedy in it's native language (as well as English on the other page)

The problem with that method is that when you first learned your native language, you have dedicated tutors. If you didn't understand something, or if you mispronounced a word, your mother, father, sibling, relative, or neighbor would help you. If you're learning a language as an adult and not in an immersive situation, you don't have that support. And often you can't even HEAR the sounds you are trying to repeat. It's a bit of a circular situation: you can't hear the sound until you know what sounds you are trying to hear. That happens through listening while reading.

@@michaelt6217 I’m not sure what you are referring to precisely. In fact your comment contained 2 different questions. Indeed for exotic languages there are less resources. Anyway for example on KZfaq you can find a great variety of videos in any language. Videos usually contain audio, some videos have subtitles, some do not. If they don’t have subtitles there are tools like Whisper that could help transcribing. Otherwise if you have text only, you can try with text to speech (if available for the language). If you intend to learn a language in particular, people may help you find some resources.
