James, thank you for the recommendation!!! I've read this book and I'm deeply impressed. Honestly, I didn't expect that much from the book, when I started to read it))) But now I'm really grateful to you for advice. Kudos for summarizing the general ideas! Looking forward to your next video.
I've been doing that for the last couple of weeks and it's working wonders so far. I just have a general goal to work towards and that's it. Focusing on habits rather than goals. I grabbed a novel in my target language, and every day I study at least 10 new words. I save those words in a doc with the most important info about them, and later I add them into Anki. It's a rather simple process. I'm 5 weeks in and being consistent, which is sth quite unusual for me lol I'm still refining the process as I go along.
Good advice about making it a habit, and connecting it with something else you do as a routine.As a fellow language person, I have long had a habit of translating what I see or hear all the time. "How would I say that in French?" for example. I do this many times every day, and often say things in one of my languages instead of in English (I do that mostly when I'm alone ) > nice video, thanks for posting, nice channel I wish you well
It takes less time with the right tools to learn the actual foreign language. Immersive translate has been working out for me and it has taken less time to learn a foreign language.
Hey, so yeh if you passively listen to something in another language (eg TV, radio, podcast) while you're doing other things, this can help your brain get used to the sounds of your target language - if that's what you mean :)
The trap that most readers tend to fall into is struggling to master proper pronunciation! That's the reason why during my English practice, I always make sure that I write down the new words I come across and search on Google how they're pronounced. Lastly, it's essential to exhaust the new words you've just learned by using em instantly so that it'll always be easy to retrieve them during speech. Otherwise, you'll end up being like those people who can recognize the beautiful words but never get to use them. Your mouth should get used to saying some beautiful sentences 😅
I'm around 5:50 and I think this tip is super important. Make it as easy as possible to learn languages. Queue your resources (say a podcast in your TL after a few songs on your walk), make shows and content readily available to you through playlist, and keep physical (or digital) reminders of your language. From my perspective, you should never be too far from your TL :) happy learning guys and great vid !!
Very interesting ideas, but I am slightly surprised by the fact that you are pronouncing the noun "process" in the same way as the verb, because strictly speaking, there should be a distinction between the two. For the noun, the stress should fall on the second syllable, whereas the stress should fall on the first syllable for the verb. I may be mistaken of course, but that's my understanding of the correct pronunciation.
