Understanding a native speaker in a 1 on 1 conversation is one thing, but we quickly realize that a much higher level of listening comprehension skill is required to understand movies, TV shows, interviews, and to take part in GROUPS of native speakers. So how can we achieve these higher levels of comprehension?
Today I share my transcription method which is an integral part of how I accomplish this in many languages as a polyglot.

This wonderful technique not only improves your listening skills but also helps to start reading. After you've got aquainted with how the language sounds as a beginner, you can start reading transcripts. It is better than reading alone. Because reading alone without having a native sounding what's written can lead to mispronouncing and bad accent as you tend to transfer your native language habbits to your target language. Listening and reading at the same time is a very powerful technique. It is also very natural and fun to do. I love how you present all your tips in such an inspiring way, Robin! Keep on with languages, everyone!

@hannahnic1473 3 года назад

Transcription is one of my favorite methods! As soon as I finished writing it down I usually I watch or listen to the material over and over again. And with every text I'm finishing I can really feel my improvement right away!! Everytime it's a huge step forward

This is my favourite video yet! I like how you're giving us clean shots of the screen and the app you use. Nice edit shot of the split screen where you're live transcribing. However, just 2 more seconds could have been dedicated to an in-focus shot of the flat white. Coffee is important to you so don't be shy about giving it a bit more of the spot light. As a café going coffee lover myself, one of the things I love most about your channel is that you/ it elicits the same unique feeling of comfort, warmth and belly hugs (with the heady excitement of learning something new) that artisan coffee shops give me. The shorter video is much more digestible.

@Howtogetfluent 3 года назад

Yes, agree totally. Love the coffe angle (though as I only drink black coffee I cringe when I see milk in there....at the same time as I have to admit it's visually very pleasing). :))

@baileyfulton492 3 года назад

Every time I watch one of your videos I end up really excited to do a difficult thing, and I love that. I don't think I'm quite at the level where I could listen to 45 minutes without being totally overwhelmed but I'm keeping this as a goal! I'm currently trying to get comfortable with Anki and see how it best (if at all) fits into my studying - it's been a whole learning experience on its own!

@FelipeFollmann 3 года назад

I created a tool to correct the transcription that I do during the dictation sessions of smarterGerman. The tool makes it easier to play/pause while writing. Then I listen again and fill the gaps. Then I click compare. The tool corrects my writing, comparing with the original text. I listen again and check what's wrong. I repeat the process. I have plans to make it available as a generic tool where you enter the audio and reference text, and you write your own transcript to be compared. One idea is also to do collaboration with podcasts and make it available directly in the tool. Right now the tool is available as a "plugin" only and is working in the smarterGerman course.

Looking foward to more methods to increase comprehension and conquer these challenges!

Hi Robin, just found your videos, great stuff and thanks for putting them out there. One trait of yours that likely gives you a big advantage is your obvious and keen interest and enthusiasm, not only in the language learning process but also in the content you consume. I honestly have trouble finding any content that fires me up ... depression or anhedonia are both real drags. Not sure how to get around that difficulty I have! So I’m envious, but also appreciative of your gift. :-) One request for future vids: I’ve watched a few of them now, and a short summary at the beginning or end would be great. I enjoy watching the rest for the human touch, but as a takeaway a summary in the description would be super. Cheers and regards! Jz

@blkfaephoenix 3 года назад

I love the occasional transcription exercise -- it is also RELALY helpful for people studying on their own with a textbook (and therefore missing out on listening/speaking in class). Instead of following the guided method of progressing through a chapter, if you start and end each section with a dictation exercise you can practice listening, spelling, and it's a great way of seeing how much you learned in that section/unit. For example, if you listen to the dialog/audio track of a unit before reading about the grammar points or vocabulary and try your best to transcribe it after a few attempts of listening, you can check your accuracy with the transcription provided in the book and it REALLY helps point out any new vocab/structures (which are usually the most glaring errors in the transcription attempt). At the end of the chapter, you could repeat the process and/or shadow for pronunciation practice. So glad other people enjoy transcribing too :)

I highly recommend switching Google Translate for Deepl, it is actually using AI-powered by Linguee and gives a much much better translation :) also, the "Learn Languages with RU-vid" chrome extension is amazing at providing subtitles in the original language + the language of your choice. You can save words or phrases and you can even print the transcripts (or save as pdf). I use it for German, and the only downside is that when saving it as pdf, the nouns are not capitalized and there are no commas or periods, but still pretty useful (not for podcasts, but great for video content) Oh and the is also another one for Netflix Insightful video as always!!! Por cierto español es mi primer idioma y wow me animas muchisimo a continuar aprendiendo idiomas. Saludos desde Berlin! (y si, no uso las tildes culpa de mi teclado en aleman jaja)

@YogaBlissDance 2 года назад

I agree I tested both with same text (after having authentic translation) I saw that DeepL had the closest to the Native Speaker translation but not by much. It would be a few things that DeepL woudl get it.

@tullochgorum6323 2 года назад

Great episode - but the "salvo que" example also drives home another key lesson, which is the importance of learning the "little words" like conjunctions consciously and early in the process. They are usually critical to comprehension, but difficult to decode from the context. There aren't all that many of them, so building a strong foundation is perfectly practical. And they are generally invariable (though as in this case they may be embedded in a pattern like a subjunctive verb) so once you know them you know them. Putting in the effort to pick them up gives you a very gratifying bang for your buck...

I’ve been searching out content with transcriptions from the content provider to do just this method, but I don’t look at the transcript until after I’ve done my transcribing as a way to check my work. I’ve been trying to stick with short videos because even 5 minutes of content can take a hour or more to transcribe depending on how clear the speakers are speaking. The Easy Language series would be a good source for this if you cover the bottom of the screen so you don’t see the target language transcript and English translation.

@maivaka3863 3 года назад

I'm just having a similar experience with a great novel I read in English. I read through it without looking up vocabulary, using the "extensive reading" approach, although I'm far away from understanding 98% of the words. And unkwown words tend to stick together in chunks and bunches instead of being spread plain all over the text. So I finally decided to type one of those paragraphs in my vocabulary trainer (My dictionary) and with copy and paste I made a new vocab out of every unknown word, using everytime the same example text. And added my comments. It turned out that every word was not only very useful (example: "to the contrary" is nothing you will find in frequency lists, but I use the phrase with the same meaning in German thousand times more often than I ever asked where the station is - well, actually, evertime when I had to find my way in an alien city I *came from* the station!). The paragraph also revealed a deeper meaning - and with every repetition of the vocabs the sentence structure was trained, because I do the retrievals as fill-ing-the-gaps test. I totally agree that intensive reading or hearing is worth the effort and extensive reading or listening is also good, but different. And, by the way, I love your channel! Thank you for all those interesting videos!

@RadicalPersonalFinance 3 года назад

Why not just use LingQ, which does all of this automatically for you? That’s where I read all of my foreign language novels.

@maivaka3863 3 года назад

@@RadicalPersonalFinance Hm, why? First: I found this vocabulary trainer before I heard of Lingq and I like it very much. Second: I like reading books of paper and giving my smartphone a rest sometimes. And so on... But it's very interesting what you wrote. Thank you! I will have a second view at Lingq. Didn't found out that it gives an opportunity to actively work with the new words. I often write a lot in my vocabulary trainer and then check with deepl-translator if my sentences make sense when they are translated back into my native language. (But I normally don't do that with my postings because RU-vid often closes the side and send me to the startpage if I leave.)

@maivaka3863 3 года назад

@BoboChacha Ho: My vocabulary app's name is "My Dictionary" by Katayikin. It is also on playstore with the name in my native language, but it's the same app. It comes with almost no vocabulary inside, but when you type your own words in it loads a translation, a voice example (computer generated) and examples for use. That sounds terrific, but I have to admit that I prefer to look up the words on the internet at dicc.cc (bilingual for many languages with many examples, synonyms etc.) and if I want more examples I look up on the internet at "Leo" (similar to dicct.cc) and/or Merriam-Webster, a non-bilingual dictionary which also includes many examples. The reason is that English words have often more than one meaning, are used in fixed phrases and so on, and I've come to write often little summaries of that on my flashcards. And the automatically loaded examples are mostly snippets which can't be used for fill-in-the-blanks tests. Meanwhile I started to use the app for pronounciation training (just reading the texts aloud, slowly and with pronounciation) and training of whole sentences, too. It seems to have a translater somewhere, I think it uses a one from the internet. The translation of the "everyday day sentences" I pick from RU-vid works perfectly. I don't have to use a dictionary or deepl translator for that. Deepl translator isn't an app, as far as I know. I use the website. It's easy to find - by the way, with Ecosia to help planting trees while searching. Deepl has many languages and I was told in a forum of Duolingo that it brings better results than google translator. Electronically generated corrections are not perfect, but better than none.

@RadicalPersonalFinance 3 года назад

Great video, Robin! I enjoyed hearing your insights. I have to wonder though if this is the highest and best use of time. There’s no question that this intensive transcription method can bear fruit, but I would compare it to something like simply doing more extensive reading. If you spent the time that you’re doing this active transcription in reading novels in Spanish instead, I think you would gain those new words easily and your brain would automatically be trained to hear them. He would be an interesting experiment that you could do: calculate how long it takes you to apply this transcription method to a 45 minute podcast and then count the number of words in your transcription. Then, read a Spanish novel for 45 minutes. And count the number of words read. Then, compare the number of poetic terms and/or uses of the language that you were exposed to in each exercise. I think of the beauty of a podcast is that it’s a great passive exercise. Something to listen to while you are making coffee. It does help train your ear. But when it comes to an active, full focus activity, I think doing more extensive reading of modern Spanish novels will expose you to more words and more language and more grammatical structure than this activity. Keep up the great work! I enjoy your videos very much.

@philipohmes9395 3 года назад

And then there are the coloquial spoken words or casual usage or dialects that most people speak native to any language, as stated at the beginning. This I am finding this out more and more with learning the Swiss German versions spoken from Canton to Canton. Fortunately they are based off of the Alemannic Dialectal Language Group and once you learn a few, the phonetic transfers become easier to understand. Now the informal written forms are a whole different story and I am not going to spend too much time learning these, because the formal German Language spellings are official and quite acceptable to use in Switzerland, when communicating with others. I will bet with the Spanish Language being used world-wide in so many places a similar situation exists. I do like your transcription process methodology of learning as have frequently used it myself in many other subject matters. It keeps things categorized and in place for future use as needed. Much like setting up a personal library, it is available when and where needed.

@mle3699 3 года назад

@yourthainesss 3 года назад

This is very good! But I don't think this is doable, or ideal, for other languages. In my case I'm learning Thai. It's hard to transcribe through a computer since Thai has a complicated script insomuch that I can't spell the word unless I know the word (coz they have 40+ consonants and 20+ vowels, crazy, right!?) Moreover, my Mac has no built-in Thai keyboard and so to do this method, I have to write by hand, which for me is time-consuming. So to enhance my listening skills, I consume lots of Thai content and then turn-on the Thai subtitles. I know it's just one method but so far it's helpful! Thank you, tho, for your thoughts. I always see your contents helpful and interesting 😉

You cannot spell out Thai words just based on sounds because, as I've said, there are lots of consonants and vowels plus the tone marks. You really have to be familiar with the word. For example, if you hear "mai" (sounds like "my")... It could be: ไหม, ไม่, หมาย, ใหม่ So you really have to know the context and the meaning of the word. And you'll have to pause many times in order to get the entire sentence. 🤣 It would be very time-consuming. 🤣

Maybe it is me ...but I feel you should be more concise and go to the point without so much background talk...

Robin, you have some valuable insights into language learning, but I'm at the four-minute mark of the above video, and I still have not heard a single one of them, other than "make transcripts to boost listening and construction capability". Got it, and it didn't take more than a couple of seconds. You're now telling me why you think what you do is a good methodology. My recommendation is that you just stop banging on about that. If your methodology is a good one, then it will help people, and stand on its own. In brief, Robin, you're losing me in your analysis of your own method. I don't know who's writing the positive feedback below, but I'm guessing at this point that they want emotional support for their language-learning challenges, and if you provide that, then you're helping them, but that isn't a methodology.
