I’ve been using both of those methods without knowing it is a thing. It’s very interesting. I often felt lazy using extensive method. Now I know It’s valid learning method. Great video.
I'm learning Portuguese. I'm also reading childrens books but I'm reading bilingual editions with both the English and Portuguese text. It's really helpful.
I personally prefer to do a mix of both in some way, reading extensively, but looking careful at what I don't understand in a meaning sense, like I have to get what is being said, therefore when I don't understand a paragraph, I search the phrase that made me confused and add it to my anki with the words that I don't know it has worked pretty well for a couple of years, I think it can be called ''sentence mining'' by some niche in language learning
Yes! I do both extensive and intensive reading and it's so helpful. I focused largely on extensive reading in Spanish last year and I think it really helped me to improve and enjoy reading in Spanish.
Nice video, the only thing that I don't like (and this is personnal preeference) is I don't like reading kids books (apart from maybe the little prince). I like going on youtube and finding very short interesting videos and importing them into LingQ, I find if the video is like 1 min long it is still pretty managable as a beginner and I can get a lot of repitition in
Getting a hold of Thai language children's books and then getting a native speaker to make an audio recording of the book as an mp3 is an excellent way to develop language skills in your target language. However, you largely have that option because you are living in the country of the target language. Others not so ideally situated might find that difficult to replicate in the face of learning resource constraints. You also have the advantage that you hear the target language spoken by native speakers every day. You also get to use the language every day in practical contexts that repeat over time. In so doing, you reinforce what you learn. As for myself, I don't have such advantages as you so my learning comes from intensive rather extensive reading. I can only find and buy high literature in my target language that militates against extensive reading given vocabulary demands.
Very helpful!! Hey please tell me if you've done all videos relating to linguistics because I could not find all of them. I love your methodology of explaining especially linguistics
what's the name of the websits which can upload the reading materials and can memory the unfamiliar words for a convenient. I can't figure out the correct spell😂
Extensive reading increases your reading speed and skips over a lot of available knowledge. Its SORT OF a speed reading practice. Intensive reading is where you go slowly and examinine all aspects of what is being said. NEXT!!!
Why do unknown people just pop up on this site and talk like they are some kind of expert ??? Who is this guy ? What does he know? What is his language learning background ? Why should we listen to him??? Bullshit artists are a dime a dozen. They are usually selling something and don’t know what they are talking about.
