A word about practice: "Practice makes perfect." ...is a lie. It should be stated: "Practice makes permanent." -- If you practice something the wrong way too long it becomes the normal and is that much harder to correct. So when working on pronunciation and grammar, get it right before moving on too far. Also, I'm a grammar descriptivist, not a prescriptivist. Don't learn a language mechanically via studying grammar too much. Children in their native language don't do this, you shouldn't either. You should be able to get the basic and intermediate concepts of grammar by repetition and mimicry; absorb grammar by pattern mimicry following native speakers. Focused grammar study comes later, like with a child in middle school when they already have a firm grasp on their native grammar -- then it becomes a matter of fine-tuning and complex structures used in formal writing.

Our brains are not wired like children's, so that logic is completely flawed. I think its plausible to do some grammar exercises and study the rules on top of recognizing the different grammar patterns in speech and writing. A combination of the two works great for me

Interesting to hear of these experiences! I started studying German in high school and (as all Finns) I had mandatory Swedish classes at the same time. With the two languages being so closely related, studying them at once did not work for me at all - so many words are similar, they might have a difference of just a letter or two, and I kept mixing it all up But now that in university, I'm studying Russian and Chinese at the same time and I have had no difficulties at all caused by this. I still think it helps a lot that the languages are not related.

It is kind of annying to spend so much time on a language you end up giving up on. Right now I am determined to learn Korean and hopefully I will complete that goal😊 But I am impressed by the number of languages people can maintain without being confused and mixing the different languages together💪 By the way, where are you from since you are learning Danish?😄

@LazyEinstein
@LazyEinstein 6 лет назад
Honestly, I just focus on things more if they are confusing. If I can't remember something grammar wise for Japanese, I will focus 90% of my study time on that problem until I am comfortable with it. I often find myself doing only Japanese for a few days then only Mandarin. And when I really don't want to study at all, I will do something like Duolingo for 5-15 mins in each just to get it done. The most annoying part is only remembering the character in the opposite language when I am studying. As in, I'll be studying Mandarin and I will only remember the Kanji pronounciation and not the hanzi. So I just keep going and read in Mandarin and say the one I don't know in Japanese. I am finished HSK1 and most of HSK 2 for Mandarin and probably 100% done with JPLT N5 material. Learning to forget is okay. It just means the next time you relearn that thing, you will probably remember it better. Only mixing up characters is a normal problem for me. But that is just practice

Great video. I would especially focus on your idea of "integrate the languages in your life". This is so important and crucial! People who want to learn a language only for professional purposes or because "it's the language of the future" get frustrated easily and give up soon, in my experience. Without genuine interest and passion you won't go anywhere.

I love the last tip about integrating the languages into your life. I only "study" about 45 min to an hour total per day, but I split that time up amongst the different languages. I find it easier to maintain my abilities by learning or reviewing each one daily rather than designating particular days of the week. Music and TV/RU-vid videos in the target languages definitely helps 👍

Usually I need two or two and a half years to learn a language to level where I can use it confidently and fluently. I never mix my learning languages, because when I focus on a language, I still want to maintain my already learnt languages (and learn even more vocab etc.). Also, I feel learning languages takes more effort the older I get (I'm in my mid-fourties now). When I was 20, I could learn more and faster, like I needed only 10 months to learn Old Greek to pass my Graecum exam at university. When I started Spanish, I was 36, and I needed 2 years. But the good news is that it gets easier when you can connect new languages to already learnt ones...

I've heard that using language laddering (as I see you're doing from a newer video; learning Spanish through Japanese) is helpful in preventing that mixing and confusion you see when you learn languages in the same base language. I haven't done it myself but I'm interested in trying it. I took Spanish in high school, stopped using it. Then in college I took German. And toward the end of college I needed to learn a bit of Albanian when I went to meet my now-husband's family and lived with them for a few months after graduation. So all of those languages were learned with English as a base. If I forget a word in Albanian, I usually know it in German. And in rare occurrences, I'll remember the word in Spanish only! But I do know there are a decent amount of German resources for Albanian out there, since many Albanians have moved to Germany. I'm focused on learning German right now, so I think it might be feasible for me to go back to Albanian through German once I've gotten a more confident. It's confusing, but once I get past this bump I think it'll be pretty fun to learn in another language besides English!

Hi Lindie, great video! A great take on the 'how do you learn so many languages' video. Honestly I think the best part of the video was hearing someone else say that they don't really keep plans or to do lists for language practice. Rather just learn instinctively, by feel and whatever time you have free. This is how I'm learning right now, I don't know if I'll be able to do it the whole year or if I'll eventually need to be a bit more methodical. I found that often if im super methodical about language learning, it becomes more about writing to do lists and diagrams rather than actually learning. Cheers! ^_^

I totally agree with you at the point where I can not just logically understand but also can truly feel you have gone through true struggles of learning languages. Such as balancing your time, the true willingness of one's desire for learning languages, and your personal time that has taken 3~4 years for communicative level of Korean. It's really true that you have to stick to the one language to fully master and get a result of communicative level. My life time goal is actually to learn 10 languages which are Korean, Japanese, Chinese for East Asia and English, French, Spanish and Russian for Western World and Turkish, Arabic and Farsi or Urdu for Central Asia and be at a communicative level on those not just speaking some sentences. To tell my personal experience, I kind of have disappointed on those polyglots who speak more than like 20 languages and have taken their advantages of learning 'nearby' languages because they could have learned something very different from their native language even few among those 20 languages although it's still amazing thing at the fact that least you attempted to learn something else outside of your shell. The reason why you could have already guessed that it sounds very wildly covered when you see those languages is because I know that not much of people is interested in learning languages in general so I wanted to set it like that to make myself have a journey to those languages someday at least and still in progress. At this rate, I know that if you learn a language, it's not just you are learning language but also learning or experiencing their culture deeply because at this period of my life, I figured out that myself's true interest lies on the beauty of Literature and the story of History that are only possible through learning their languages. Essentially, I want to live in the beauty of nature in time. Since I have already mastered at a certain level in English and Japanese (currently planning to get Kanken pre-1 level which is consisted of 3000 Chinese characters), my Korean is native already so no worry on that and currently learning French in baby step by step just like what you have described. My language journey has been already 8 years of Japanese now (mostly casually with 2~3 years of focused period unlike you have taken 3 to 4 years to get communicative level because I know Korean and Japanese are highly related and I'm Korean native anyways) and I can definitely say it had ups and downs that I can recall as 'Journey' as I mentioned earlier. Although I have studied Chinese here and there but didn't get attracted eventually until now so it's still here and there and my main focus now is french as I have been attracted to that language for no reason. Whoa, this was long essay but it's definitely worth it if you enjoyed my language story! all of the above is totally for my own fun and interest just like you.

3:12 this actually incredible advice I study Korean, Spanish and mandarin and I’m a complete beginner in mandarin but nearly fluent in Spanish and intermediate speaking level Korean and it’s actually made learning mandarin easier (?) because I have so much experience with Korean that I don’t confuse it with mandarin AT ALL. and other people who have studied both languages at the same time thought it was really confusing. so I would say I definitely agree to what you said!!!! this is super informative and interesting!!!! 💗

I hope that one day I'll be fluent enough to learn a new language. You're really helping me so thank you very much.

I'm chinese, currently learning french ... I have been learning spanish and Portuguese for 3 and half an year respectively , right now I have no problems interacting with native speakers 🔊 (as long as they speak at normal speed and avoid using certain colloquial terms) lol 😂....what I found intimidating is French , I managed to get some daily words to get more acquainted with this brand new language on a daily basis ... I just wanna say nothin is impossible if you have a willing heart and be persistent... furthermore , it's crucial that we practice everyday bc our memories will fade with time no matter how you trust your memory span ... good job ! I'm looking forward to getting your feedback regarding this in chinese ! Cheers ! 加油

Hey Lindie!! This video answered my questions. Thank you so much! It’s good that I’m learning French and Korean at the same time right now. My friends and some family members say that I can’t study 2 very different languages at the same time but I’m proving them wrong as I’m improving very well in both languages😁 Et en fait, ton accent français est parfait! Merci encore pour cette vidéo! 감사합니다!❤️

I naturally learned two languages growing up, in school I’m learning my third, and on my own time I’m learning one. Since I naturally speak two, and I’m comfortable with one, I end up speaking 3 languages at once. I just find whatever word is easier to say. My plan is to be able to communicate with all types of people, because when I was younger, I had to learn a new language.

A few months ago I decided to learn Esperanto, and then I picked up Mandarin a little later. Couldn't be more different, right? Well, "ni" is a pronoun in both languages, but it's "we" in Esperanto and "you" in Mandarin. I've mixed them up So. Many. Times.

Great advice! I can completely relate. I don't have a schedule either. What I use is a, "done list", as opposed to a to do list. I record everything I've done in terms of language learning in a day. Then I can look back and see what I've been doing intensively and what I've been neglecting, not just in terms of which languages, but also which methods. I just discovered your channel and I'm really enjoying it!

I m learning at school and listening to music lessons and ather as well as grammar at home. 2. Korean. learning at home grammar music as well I aculy inspired my classmate to learn it so we try to help each ather, I have word cards. 3 Russian . I m aculy living near that country so my mom knows how to speak it . my classmates picked Russian so they gave me there notebooks and athers things so I rewe and learn from it. My native language is not English . the funny thing is that i aculy kinda learned English on yotube more then in my school ;) My native language is REALY DAM HARD BUT unique and georges as well as old so i had pretty dam nice start cuz my native alphabet has realy hard to pronounce sounds . idk if I have super big goal but I want to speak 10 languages by the time that I will go to university ... I alredy know 2 that I can pretty fluently communicate thro and learning little by little 3 at the same time. after that I m thinking Spanish cuz its kinda close with French English as well as the grammar is easy. I m in love with Japanese as well as Korean so next round would by xd Spanish and Japanese XD

Wow, i am Vietnamese, studied architecture(master course) in Milan, Italy since 2010. But at that time my English still needed to improve so i didn’t try to study Italian when i was in that ocean . Recently, i try an app called Rocket and I got really excited about that, about 70 days continuously to study Italian and the memory about Italy come back to me like a dream. I have a full time job back here, Vietnam, but afternoon i study Italian when do exercise then till late night enjoy Italian movies on Netflix, listen to a song in “la Vita dovanti a se “ - a must watch, it make me feel so connected with Italy.Wow , like you said, it is a passion. I got an idea about learning some more languages when i read a sentence: “the more languages the more the man he is” in high-school, but till now i have some initial steps to study languages. Khi nào Lindie đến Hồ Chí Minh, tôi sẽ làm hướng dẫn viên du lịch cho bạn!
