I like how you said that our brain is a super powerful computer that naturally picks up patterns. Most people underestimate that. I remember "pooping myself” when first seeing Russian and Japanese podcasts at Lingq but then surprised how they suddenly became clear. Maybe at the very beginning slow content can help a little to get used to exotic sounds, if there are any. But yeah it’s not a must. You also need to get used to the melody and rhythm of the language. Like you said, our goal is not to understand everything. Most learners wait too long before they allow themselves to jump into native level content. But when the topic is interesting, hearing them multiple times won’t be a problem. We are often familiar with the podcast topic so we guess the meaning of some of the topic. I believe some tv shows and movies can be watched multiple times too. For me it used to be the Mighty Boosh. I watched all episode more than twenty times. They were so funny to me. Well maybe I’m just weird and need help.
@@FinnishLanguageNuggets hahaha the mighty boosh! What a blast from the past. 100% agree you have to get used to the melody of the language, love that! I often compare learning a language to having to learn the lyrics of an infinite song ❤️
Hey, thnx for the tips. I'd really love to subscribe but... man, 207$ per hour! are you touching the people and they become a "shakespeare" all of a sudden?
@@AybekMG It's free to subscribe to my RU-vid channel :-). I don't provide any 'touching' services and if I did, I'd charge a lot more. Thanks for watching
Can I replace the podcasts with RU-vid videos that don’t require me watching? Quite hard for me to find Czech podcasts, but have some good RU-vid videos with a good comprehensible pace
bro i dont want to get salty but cut the crap. there is no way to be fluent without understaing. understanding is the KEY to get fluent. because you listen so much to podcast it might take much longer to get fluent, but in the end, you get fluent because you understand more and more. not because """ you get used to the language """. you can listen 10 years of japanese language and you will never be fluent. but start classes translating few words and phrases, and pick the language right away. so what you said is just wrong. or it might be """ right """" but it takes 10x more for no reason. but i agree that podcast with subtitles are one of the best way to learn languages.
