I would like to share a technique that really took my listening comprehension to the next level. I started doing this while studying for my degree in French. I don't know if this is a known method or if it sounds obvious, so apologies! I take a short (5-10 mins) recording of a native French person speaking. Could be somebody reading the news, somebody telling a telling a story, reading from a book, etc. As they are talking, I transcribe what they are saying, word for word. You will find that you need to stop the recording after each sentence, or rewind and listen to the same clip several times, or look up words you didn't know. It's a really great exercise and helps atune your ear to the French accent, and separate the words from each other.
man, I cant believe im gonna say this but I think you just cracked the code. haven't tried it yet but its the first time I feel like there's a method that is possible to help me become fluent in French. Keep doing great stuff man!
"What's going to happen is, you're going to develop a vocabulary of YOUR life. A vocabulary of words related to your interests, your friends, your family, your job." THIS IS GOLD.
Step #1 = Tell a story for 5 minutes Step #2 = Write down new words & sentences Step #3 = Repeat Step 1 & 2 Step #4 = Repeat exercise with a new story Step #5 = Study the words you've leaned. BONUS = Go over your story with your language partner.
I just finished doing this for 30 days. Huge improvement! I played my Day 1 and Day 30 videos for some people close to me and they heard the enormous improvement. This is not for beginners. You need a toehold in the language to do this. But if you're frustrated with your progress and want to develop with a language you *sort of* know, this method works. FWIW, highly recommended. Like the man said, don't get discouraged: "Push through!"
I learn French at school and I'm able to decipher the beginner texts they give us and also make broken paragraphs. But that's as much as there is. Especially with listening , I find it hard to understand french. Do you think this method would work for me?
hmm , good point.. maybe i'll wait until i know a little more French to do this.. then again , i probably know enough to start telling simple stories now
this is going to be so much fun if you pretend you're a RU-vidr doing a "sit down vlog" and tell a ridiculous story lmao this is so helpful thank you ma dude!
hahaha , while you're playing , this is exactly what came to my mind.. i seriously thought about making a completely separate RU-vid account that i don't share with anyone i know offline
I watched this video and started doing this exercise - not for 8 hours every day, but around 4 hours per week, divided into 2 days (2 hours each). And MAN, did this help? ABSOLUTELY. I can't believe how much better I'm speaking french now. Imagine the wonders this practice can do if we take it like shown in the video. This guy is a genius!! Thank you for sharing this method with the world!
Hello I would like to know how did you do this exercise for two hours you repeated the five minute session for two I would like to have more details from you please😊
What's genius about this is the concept of learning and assimilating vocabulary that's actually relevant for you and for the stories you want to tell. We all have a list of words we use all the time in our own language, and we are not even aware of that. Cracking your own system of words in your mother tongue will drastically reduce the number of words you feel you have to learn in order to become fluent in another language. And once you've learned your own word system, then you can start learning someone else's, if that makes sense. Hell yeah!
what if you started using english more often than native language and now you start with french haha you have then two default libraries and neither is used fully when you start with new language you link it with what fits of what you know but later it becomes it's own space in brain and overwrites your original thinking and patterns and hybrids aren't fully adapted to none of parents different environments. my thinking and behaviour changes depending which language I use even type of music you listens primed you differently
@@lockaaas L1 Your first language/language you use from birth, one that you acquire because you're exposed to it from a young age. This is distinguished from the target language, the one that you're learning, here for the OP is French. I use L* because whether it's your second language (L2), third (L3), etc. can be really muddy if you live in multilingual environments.
I have a variation on this: in lieu of telling stories, translate a song you know well into German. I’m working on doing 3-4 songs a day as part of my German learning routine.
03:00 this is the major problem for everyone who struggles to learn a foreign language. we avoid it because it's painful and not uncomfortable. thank you for this golden advice it's revolutionary. I wasted a lot of time searching on the internet for a method to let me speak and express my thoughts.
Ok! I have done your method for day one. I'm going to do it for 29 more days. I added "speaking to someone in my household" after I've gone through recording 3 times and making flashcards. Here goes! No, no one in my household speaks my target language. They just have to sit and listen to me try.
oooh I should try this!! I always get most nervous when I actually have to talk to someone, so it'd be good practice before working with a native speaker :D
You need Anki & DeepL software: step 1 - tell a story in the 2nd language about yourself for 5 mins and record yourself step 2 - Write down new words & sentences! After recording, stop and watch out for how you speak and write them down! These are words you did not know how to say, and sentences you did not know how to structure! Take the words you did not know and input them into deepL & create an Anki deck, give a story in the anki deck a title! The anki deck is only for words you used in the story that you didn't know. Take the list of sentences you didn't know how to structure and translate them in deepL & save them on a google sheet! Step 3 - Repeat step 1 & 2 ---- Two more times press record repeat the process, as you repeat the process, the story becomes easier. Write down any new words & sentences you didn't know how to say, add then to words to anki deck and new sentences to the Google sheet. Again repeat step 1 & 2 until you master the story! Step 4 - create new stories adding new vocab and just keep repeating the process of creating new stories & vocab. Go over your anki deck at least twice per day! Once before you do the exercise an once before you go to bed. The the same with the Google sheets as well. 1000 most commonly used words in any language is roughly 70% of that language, of course Grammar is important so learn that as well. Bonus tip get a language partner to actual speak to and sen your video to them and get them to correct it and give you tips on their language.
Great thanks. I just found your comment after listening and taking my own notes from the video...LOL I guess i should have scrolled down to read the comments. Thanks for posting that as it will help others and I added your tips to my notes.
There is a simpler one which works perfectly fine. Just get an audio recording of someone you want to speak like and turn it on. Now when that person speaks ,right then and there start repeating what he /she sais and try to copy it perfectly. Trust me you'll learn. Its how we all learn as babies.
It does work too, but the issue with this method is you're basically repeating another person's way of talking, which most probably is way different to yours. Formulating your own story is way harder, though a lot more helpful on the long run. I believe both techniques should be combined.
The problem with this is you have no transcript of what the person is saying, but you have a transcript with Ted Talks as the author explained in another video.
this is so smart!! I understand french perfectly, but whenever i try to speak i get so choked up, it frustrates me. this really seems like it will work! thank you :)
My thoughts exactly. It seems like a method for those who already have an excellent passive knowledge of the language. Ive been itching to start speaking but wasn't sure of a good routine and this one will be basically the one I'll go with.
Straight up, this method words. I've been using it for French every day since 20 July 2023. My French has gotten so much better in that short amount of time. It's uncomfortable at first, but you get used to it after the first few days. It becomes easier and easier the more you continue to tell your stories and the more you watch and critique yourself. The feedback that this exercise gives you is second only to getting feedback from a native speaker and/or a tutor. The feedback is so valuable. Respect to you for sharing this, my brother!
I am using Tandem to find language partners. Your can choose messaging, audio clips, phone, or video as means for chatting and practicing. It was quite intimidating for me at first, but everyone I've chatted with has been super friendly! I am wanting to learn French, Spanish, Korean, and I would like to use your technique in learning how to sign ASL. Thanks for your videos!
(also i know this is an older comment but i would practice ASL with you! been teaching myself on and off for a couple years, and it's way easier when studying with another person who's also trying to learn!)
which is why in the Ryan George universe, your authority status is designated by the size of your moustache, with the top positions going only to those with the most commanding moustaches
Cool trick! Just, so you know, we don't say "ce magnifique exercice". "Magnifique" is only for visually beautiful things. Common mistake from foreigners. Keep it up! Et toutes mes félicitations !
No I am French and certainly the word magnificent means beautiful visually but also for certain expression of the genre magnifique jeu vidéo ». je suis français et certe mot magnifique veux signifier beau visuellement mais aussi pour certaine expression du genre « magnifique jeu vidéo »
@@mahermeursault9652 i'm french too. je suis française aussi. "'magnifique" ne s'applique pas dans le cas qu'il utilise. Tu peux dire "c'est magnifique!" Pour "that's amazing" à la rigueur. Mais "ce magnifique jeu vidéo" ça sonne mal. Ca s'entend qu'il l'a traduit de l'anglais
@@mahermeursault9652 déjà, on dit UNE* histoire. Ensuite, l'adjectif se placerait après le mot histoire. Enfin, on dirait "une histoire magnifique" moins volontiers que "une très belle histoire".
You know what I appreciate about this guy? He doesn't skip over the things like "you probably won't tell the story with the exact same words". It's small things like that that make people feel more comfortable.
rly good idea! I feel like it would be helpful to expand stories to also talking about your dreams (ex. where do you want to travel and why, where you see yourself in 10 years, etc.) so that you can have balance between learning past tense, present and future
I attribute my success learning German to my lack of fear of embarrassment for getting things wrong. Your technique seems great for someone more prone to embarrassment, or with less opportunity to practice with other people than I had. I will recommend it to a friend and when I come back to French, I think I will try it myself.
Thank you. You have helped me not give up(again). Speaking and listening have been my downfall (especially speaking,it terrifies me). I am trying to PUSH THROUGH! THANKS AGAIN.
Would you agree that he's basically doing self-stimulation as described by Krashen in Principles and Practice in Second Language Acquisiton p. 84? "The trivial sense in which a conscious rule might 'help' language acquisition is if the performer used a rule as a Monitor, and consistently applied it to his own output. Since we understand our own output, part of that performer's comprehensible input would include utterances with that structure. When the day came when that performer was 'ready' to acquire this already learned rule, his own performance of it would qualify as comprehensible input at 'i + 1'. In other words, self-stimulation!" I think what Krashen means by trivial is that this phenomenon is of negligible importance in a class-based language teaching scenario. On the other hand a highly motivated solo learner is in a position to take this as far as it can go.
I've been doing this with German for a whole week and I can already see some improvements, mostly related to how i approach the whole"speaking" deal. I'm not as uncomfortable as before and I feel way less awkward while I talk Also my vocabulary is already vastly improven Thank you some much for this amazing method
bruh this is the best video i've seen in a while... it's concise, to the point, and most importantly it provides structure and actionable steps that one can take to achieve fluency! keep up the good work.
So I just recorded my first video and it was brutal! For one, it took almost 20 minutes to tell it in French although it was a story I could tell in English in 5 minutes. If anyone else is doing this keep that in mind when you decide on your story. I wrote the whole story down in English and basically tried translating it into French as I told it on camera but I’m not sure if that was a good idea or if I should have tried to just tell the story without looking at the English words. At one point I actually stopped recording so I could decide if I was really going to finish telling it because I was getting so frustrated. But I pushed through! Now I’m at the point where I’m going through the video and listening for words or phrases that I didn’t know and it seems like it’s almost everything 😬 There are some places where I knew the words but couldn’t recall them in the moment to use them when I needed them which was very irritating. I’m actually thinking of posting my progress for accountability and to encourage me to keep going. If anyone else has had a similar experience, where almost their entire story needs to go in the Anki deck or the spreadsheet 😅 please let me know.
Great that means you already build some vocabulary and sentences. The next story that you tell would be much easier because you are using words and sentences that you use in your everyday life in your target language. You are talking about things that you have a common interest in.
Note: he said that when he told the story the second time he did not say it, in the same way, the third way as well was not the same. Build Vocabulary and sentences around your everyday life.
@Halle Summitt The same here! Frustrating! I didn't write the story, I just started to talk but on review, o la la! Tons of errors. I think he complicated a bit with putting only words in Anki and sentences in Excel. I put the whole sentences in Anki! So, I tried to tell the story twice, and the second time was getting better, and then I studied Anki words - whole sentences and tried again. I think you need to know the grammar and be on at least level A2 to use this method, which I think is great. I also think it is extremely important to pay attention to your accent and speed.
When we learn a new language, we are going to make mistakes, and to be honest his method isn't for everybody. I don't use it myself because when I talk or write to someone, I'm going to tell them about myself and my life anyway, but I do see value in the method because it gets you to practice what you're going to say when you do meet a native speaker online or in real life. The way I personally do it is by writing in the target language and looking up words I'll need, but when speaking one doesn't have the luxury of stopping to look up words, and the other person is going to either leave or switch to English if there's a lot of delay. There are other ways to achieve the same thing. However, the drawback to recording oneself (audio-only or video) is the self-criticism we impose on ourselves because we're not doing it perfectly (right words, right accent, etc). If one could get over perfectionist urges and the fear of making mistakes, then that would help with this method and with language learning in general. Maybe that's why he created this method. I think he realized that one has to get out of one's comfort zone in order to make progress, and this method is the one that worked for him.
You're definitely on to something, bruh. I took German up to C1.1 and then stopped to go back to graduate school. I'm back down to B2.1, but I'm gonna try it again! I'll need this method when I return to the States. Thanks.
Brilliant!! I’m a language learning junkie who’s watched tons of videos on the subject. This is a novel approach! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more videos. Quick question - before launching into this method how do you acquire your baseline grammar and vocab?
Find and study grammar rules that are only necessary in daily life for targeted language, example for german : fälle, präsens, präteritum, perfekt (youtube videos and - grammar book). Then just do this method until you’re used to the grammar by heart
For vocab, I personally used duolingo and a Spanish book for kids that I had a long time ago to start, but it took quite some time. For grammar, I just googled specific grammar tenses and bow they're formed: present, past, future, subjunctive, and command. And I would just speak and record myself and have Google translate in front of me to translate the words I don't know(Google translate works better for United Nations official languages like Spanish, French, etc).
I'd also like to add that I would start listening earlier. It's quite difficult to understand speech at first, so that's something that has to be worked on. When I started using this method, I already knew a bit about grammar and words. I opened subtitles and watched real Spanish channels like HolaSoyGerman, and Google translated the words I didn't know. After some Time I would stop using subtitles.
6:10 "Many of us think that reaching fluency means you have to learn a hundred thousand words and that's not true, fluency is actually just how well you use the words that you know in different contexts” Beautiful statement and not to be ignored. I'm way less impressed with someone learning English that knows a a rare word than I am if they can use grammar effectively with the most basic everyday words e.g. "I would have had to have gone there already" etc
@@Black-Circle Not sure what you're talking about. You're trying to say his personal level of fluency decides whether he is correct or not about what fluency really is about? I've seen ad hominem used often but never seen it used in such a blatant manner.
Man, I'm so blown away at your progress, I started uploading videos of myself learning French on my channel, but this 5 minute story is just what I was looking for. I subbed, You're awesome dude!
You are amazing! Just listening to this I got anxious and excited. I could feel the excitement in my stomach. I'm going to set a goal to do this for 66 days straight. Thank you
@@comradeabby3141 Not really,I guess listening and repeating , writing,reading talking,texting and getting correction on those,learn words that you don't understand that you've come across,that kind of thing
@@evangelineeden342 go onto a language learning or French subreddit and ask if anyone would wanna help you practice. I’m sure there are lots of French students learning English who would love to have someone to learn English from and teach French to.
I moved to France 5 weeks ago with my French wife. I have finally found a process that makes sense for me, thank you! We've been together nearly 6 years and I feel so ashamed that I never learnt enough French to speak comfortably with her dad and sister who both can't speak English. So hopefully with your method I'll make much faster progress. Your videos are so well produced. Have subscribed. Thank you.
My wife and me have been together since 1998 and I still cannot speak French to my eternal shame. It has meant I cannot communicate properly when there and with her family too ( now sadly deceased). I am in my early fifties and finally putting it right. I have spent just over a week learning 200 words from a book with the most common words in the language. Many I already knew and to my amazement I have made significant progress by recording them on a dictaphone and listening repeatedly as well as listening and writing them down as I go. On the basis of the idea of 10,000 hours needed to perfect a skill, it is going to take me a while to crack it but I have the foundation of enough words. I only want enough for conversational French and to understand documents when we are there/ hopefully relocate as I am probably won't need it for anything else like work. Or at least I hope not. We have always spoken in English at home and work in jobs that took up at least 60 hours a week has always meant I have been too tired to learn ( though still a poor excuse). Now I am no longer working ( career break), I can devote hours to it in order to achieve fluency. Having a foothold in the language anyway has helped, of course. I hope your French is progressing well.
This sounds like the PERFECT thing to do to take what you know in any foreign language to the next level. We learn so much but if we don't use it by speaking, do we really know it? And actual practice is what makes perfect, right? This sounds like the step that is missing in most (all?) language courses - going to try it next! Great video!!
After doing courses and exams at Alliance Francaise, I've been listening to and learning from native French speakers which has been good and I am progressing. What's refreshing about your channel is that you're not a native speaker but you hacked it! I'd never heard of Anki and DeepL before. Going for it and looking to be completely fluent (able to present and facilitate meetings) by the end of the year. Your dedication also says a lot. I can't afford 8 hours daily but I'll definitely put in the time and expect faster results. Thanks a bunch for these posts. Most useful!
As a french, I can say that to you: this is impressive! You get passed from an incomprehensible french to a clear one. I should probably try it too for my english and german. Wish me luck!
Bonjour Cameron, je te félicite pour ta résilience dans l'apprentissage de langue française, je me suis remise à l'apprentissage de l'anglais, je n'arrête pas de traduire du français à l'anglais, ma motivation n'est pas régulière, ma prononciation est juste horrible, je regarde pas mal de vidéos pour progresser, peut-être que cette année j'y arriverai, I hope so !
This is such an amazing concept and process. Thanks for sharing with others. I’ve been teaching myself Spanish for about 3.5 years, and have an advanced level of knowledge, but I still struggle with speaking fluently, mainly because I continue to translate from English to Spanish in my head as I’m speaking, and sometimes I just mix things up. I’m going to try this and see how it works for me. I hope I have the patience and discipline to keep at it.
This is awesome. I’ve been studying for about 5 months and I’m still heavily focused on listening and reading. To break out of that, I’ve been reading mini stories on LingQ and then writing a version based on my own life. Something similar to what you’re doing. The problem I’m encountering with personal stories is that I place too much stress on “I” and “we” conjugations and I’m not practicing enough of the others. Your method sounds amazing. I’m gonna give it a go, but I have to make sure to insert all the different person conjugations, as well as questions using both vous and tu. Thanks for your work!
1:49 Beginning *RESOURCES* : Anki, DeepL *STEPS* : _Première étape_ 2:06-2:25 1) Tell a story for 5 minutes about you that you know well in your target language (foreign language for a lack of a better term) _Note d’accompagnement_ >> there will be a lot of words that you dont know how to say 1: Guess, THEN: say it in english BUT
in brief: In this video, the creator shares a language learning exercise that helped him become fluent in French. The exercise involves telling a story in the target language for five minutes, recording it, and identifying unknown words and sentence structures. These words and sentences are then added to an Anki deck and a Google Sheet respectively. The process is repeated two more times, with new words and sentences added each time. The exercise should be done for a week with the same story before moving on to a new one. The goal is to develop a vocabulary that's relevant to the learner's life, making fluency more attainable. Two free apps, DPL and Anki, are needed for this exercise. Anki helps internalize new words, while the Google Sheet is used to review sentences. The creator also suggests getting a language partner to help with corrections and finding more natural ways of speaking. The video highlights that fluency is about using known words effectively in different contexts rather than learning a massive number of words. The exercise helps users practice using the words they use most often in everyday life, which is key to achieving fluency.
I have been working toward fluency in French. When I have been able to Converse with other French speakers, it is because I’ve repeated the same story over and over again. Unconsciously, I’ve been doing a similar type of method, but I had not developed it into an exercise. This will be a real timesaver.
I'm gonna try this method, diary style: each day, if it's earlier in the day, discuss what i plan to do in the day. If it's evening time, discuss what i had done during the day and what I had learned also
This is brilliant! When you think about it, this is what conversation is. Just sharing the events of your life. Learning how to talk about your own life story... is so good that it seems really obvious but for some reason it isn't.
I came across this channel. i been using duo lingo for a week but i really want faster results with french. i feel ur ways will help with those results. thanks for this videos. keep uploading 👍🏼
Thanks! Iam an 11 year old that really wants to learn other languages and become an poliglot in the future and Iam going to use this method for my French! (Also sorry if I have bad grammar and you had an stroke reading this! English is not my native language)
Sir! I've been studying Korean for 5 years now. I learned the Korean alphabet (Hangul), learned how to introduce myself and dibbled in the grammar. The area I struggled in was "what" I must do to advance. I did not want to waste time learning a whole bunch of vocabulary and forget them or constantly go over grammar. Your method truly helps me to set things in place. I am the type of person who needs someone to model how to do a specific task. Thank you again. (Btw. I am started to learn French. Wish me luck.)
I get it!! Cool. I’d summarize this as: Force yourself to speak by practicing little stories of you life. This make is both relevant to you and makes you ready for conversation. I’m going to try this. I think first I need to focus a bit more on my basic beginner level - but I can just tell very simple stories to start with.
Excellent video. This is a brilliant idea: it's something every language learner does from time to time - but the key is doing it systematically and repeatedly.
(This comment is for myself bc my memory is bad lol) Also, I believe if I am going to do something that requires a lot of time/effort it helps to clearly state why I am going to do it. Ok, here I go. it’s 11:42pm, May 4.. I’m an introvert and determined to make this my main learning technique. Why? (Not ordered specifically) 1. I don’t want to have a gringa accent when speaking Spanish lol. 2. I believe this will help my social/conversational skills in any language. (As well as confidence and being more comfortable talking) 3. I was never really interested in this before but, I genuinely want to connect with more people. 4. This is ironic since this whole message is in English but I’m getting tired of English. I want to learn as much as I can and share beautiful languages with everyone around me ! I will set a reminder to reflect how it goes after just 1 week. No soy una principiante del idioma español, he sido estudiando por mucho tiempo pero no constantemente o con mucho esfuerzo. If this method works for me I will also try it with a new language as a complete beginner (Korean) which I just started 3 days ago :). Thanks to this RU-vid video/channel and this kind person (sry I don’t know your name) for sharing what you have learned and your method, I think a lot of people will benefit, me included.. I appreciate you! ❤️ ..Wow I rambled on too long, took me 20 min to write this 😂
I'm watching this video every day to push me. Just started today with this method to learn French, my 3rd language. I believe this is the best way to learn. I will give my thoughts as I go! THANK YOU!
awesome!!!! thank you for sharing this method. I've been learning French for about 2 months now and I think I'm progressing quite quickly but this will definitely help!
Started my day 1, what took me 5m10s to say in my target language in video 1 went down to 2m59s to say by video 5. I kept adding info to reach 5 mins and adding to my vocabulary. I am excited to see myself in day 30 🥳😁🥳😁. Thanks LL ❤️
@@atema5320 It’s going pretty well, I started learning Italian last year but I have since I’m proved drastically with this method. I speak to myself more in Italian and understand more spoken Italian, I just need to fine an italian speaker I can practice with. But now I can fluently introduce myself, talk about my family, interests and passions. I don’t think I will be where he is now in 30days as I only have 4 hours a day to practice.
I used to speak French then i moved to a city and i worked only in English for 10 years.i now have to relearn all my French. Your video encourages me to learn French again.
Thank you. Great advice. We spend so much time learning languages from / in books and don't speak aloud enough. Your exercise is a great way to advance your comfort level and get used to hearing yourself speak in another language : )
How to learn a language: Comprehensible input Yes that's it Output will come naturally and will stay in your memory much better. But I have to say this approach is pretty cool
I agree that one acquires a language through comprehensible input I am not sure that one learns to speak through comprehensible input. I have been learning spanish from nearly 2 years and almost entirely through comprehensible input. That being said I understand 95% of shows I watch and books I read. I also can understand about 80-90% of what I hear from natives depending on the accent. However my speaking is atrocious. Because I am afraid to speak. I think what seems interesting about this method is it builds up a collection of stories you can tell and topics and things you can speak about. I don't think this alone is going to get you speaking but I think it is a good building block. When you start trying to speak to natives you will actually have something to say.
OMG. AT LAST!! I've been looking for a detailed method that made sense to me and that was explained in a way that made it easy to understand. You gave me both-excellently. Thank you so much!!
I have cleared out the whole month dedicated to this. I did start a little today. Feel free to ask for updates after a month. I am truly dedicated. I’m learning Spanish.
Mais mec! Je suis français et je dois te dire bravo! Tu parles super bien, on dirait que tu es québécois (a.k.a. french-canadian)! Bien joué! Je vais m'inspirer de toi pour apprendre l'allemand 💪🏽
I am doing it with italian, I was B1 when I started this technique, so I was a little advanced but I struggled with the construction of the sentence and vocabulary and I am doing that to, this is pretty amazing. I think with this technic we can learn a lot of languages and this is a good thing. Thank you.
Hi bro !! I really like the simplicity with wich you explain your method of learning french. I' m a native French speaker and my target language is English. I noticed that a lot of people who want to learn a language tend to do all types of exercises except speaking exercises. We learn how to speak by actually doing so, just like children do. It might not be perfect at the first try, but this is, I think, the natural way to learn anything, by reducing mistakes one after the other: Repetition is the key. You also mention something very important about the use of words coming from our own life and interest. This is also the best way to build yourself a level of language matching who you really are and that you can use comfortably ( like an old jean) You are on the right track, you can feel it yourself. BIG UP !! from Paris.
What a great plan! Our everyday conversations are about the things we are most familiar with (ourselves) so great idea to start with learning how to say those things!! Thanks! Love the channel name!!! Subscribed @ 2.23k - Bonne chance!!!
This is absolutely brilliant. I have just started (as in, less than a week ago) learning Persian and I’m going to add this as a key part of my method and try it out!
So how was the approach? Also, if you don't mind sharing, how did you start? The storytelling aspect on day 1, when you know nothing? How do you tell a story in your target language when you know nothing yet?
This is what I did for my study when I had an oral test for the German language. Making my own story and using google translate + dictionaries helped me so much. (This was 16 years ago, there were no cool apps :P )
This was an amazing, well thought out and creative language learning exercise that I plan on implementing in my language learning journey(s) in the future!! So glad this video showed up into my feed! Have a good one!
I'm going to follow this technique with some minor tweaks to get fluent in basic French conversation in the next 90 days, I will be putting in 2 hours daily 🙂.
Best video I've seen on the subject of becoming fluent in a language while learning at home. I'm going to put this method into practice to speak English
