- For many people, learning a language is hard and boring. However, in this video, I'll show you how to make it seem like you're not even trying, yet still achieve fluency faster than if you were studying for hours a day and putting in too much effort.
As a native Portuguese speaker, this is exactly what I did to become fluent in English really quickly. Now, I'm learning French using the same approach.

I believe having a child like mindset, tolerating ambiguity, everyday consistency, are most important.

I am MattvsJapan's disciple too!😂
@@user-kp8pz1xm1s that's cool you recognized his words. yeah that's where I learned about that from. Basically everything I know I learned from his channel. He's a wealth of knowledge.
For a Brazilian, your pronunciation is really above average, good work
thank you!
I mean jeez he could’ve convinced me he’s a native English speaker if I’m being honest
@@YeeeeGregi thought he WAS a native English speaker 😭
Congrats, man. Your english is top-notch! I learned english by mostly watching interviews and tv shows in english, and i believe that this "immersive" method is the best way to learn any language.
This works particularly well with languages that are very similar to your native language or a language that you know well. For example: Portuguese->English. But if you do this from English->Chinese etc., it's a different story. Input (reading and listening) definitely works, but it's not that easy or fast if the languages are too different. My own experience is that as a native Chinese and Thai speaker, it was very difficult for me to learn English, but now that I know English, learning Spanish is a breeze. I mainly watch CZcams and Netflix and read a bunch of basic news articles online and am progressing insanely fast. I've also learnt English mainly through input. Long story short: I agree, but whether it's really that easy depends on what language background you have.
Hey I’m starting to learn Mandarin it’s backwards I’m learning English to Mandarin and I want to speak it so madly, how to got the tones and how to read pictographs, it’s an interesting language I hope someday translate between Chinese to English hehe, I hope you speak Spanish soon, regards.

You need a lot of input and shadowing. Try transcribing the mandarin you hear to improve your listening for the subtleties and echo what you hear back. Listen to natives talking at normal speed once you have some general vocabulary. You need comprehensible input. Input that is roughly understood but challenging.
A lot of this shit is just repetition and connecting contextual memory to active memory. So surround yourself with interesting Mandarin concepts. Use subtitles (in Mandarin- if you're learning to read) and watch things over again. You'll begin to intuitively pick up on things, especially if you're studying actively on the side.
You will forget things. That's part of the process. You will also remember things that you don't know how you know. Don't cram or force yourself to remember. Language isn't a test, it's a means of communication. Take interest in everything you do to interact with the language.
It makes the journey so much more fun. Don't stress about speaking. Echo and write what you know or hear. Over time you'll collect the words and phrases that mean something to you.
Just my personal experience from learning Japanese starting with English. Good luck to you tho.
@@idontgiveah00t thank you for comment, and wow there are a lot of things to do but I appreciate that like you said no everything it’s a test when you learning a new language it’s acquire it,I had Gracias y espero pronto comunicarme en mandarín fluido :)
You can become famous! Just keep going.
Thank you!!!
Yes, we can do it!! Don't give up.
As a matter of fact, listening to you has been a pleasure! When it comes to fluency, I should clap yours. A large greeting from Argentina. 🇦🇷
Muito massa saber que o Daniel Molo tá inspirando pessoas a aprender idiomas
Comecei recentemente a aprender inglês e meio perdido, e com muitas perguntas, espero chegar lá um dia, e seu canal me respondeu algumas das perguntas que eu tinha sobre imersão, sobre se é ideal ver com ou sem legenda da língua materna
Seu canal tem uma qualidade muito massa boy, e valeu por ajudar algumas das pessoas como eu a ver essas dúvidas nos idiomas
Go, go, go!!! You amazing man!
Very helpful suggestions, thank you.
I learned Gaidhlig, otherwise known as Scots Gaelic, in the way you describe. I relied on the internet to find people to converse with. I used tools available online to create my own Gaelic immersion environment and in fairly short order, within about 2 years, I became conversational in that language and it is now a part of me.
your videos are really effective
hope you reach the top quickly
thank you!
Meu deus cara seu inglês é tão ótimo!!! Comecei português há 2 e meio anos. Ainda difícil mas tô aprendendo.. devagar.. minha problema maior é não ser capaz de falar e usar meu vocabulário 😕 desejo que pudesse morar no Brasil 🥲 um sonho.
Melhorando o compreensão de ouvir é muito difícil para mim.
This is a great channel. Continue what you’re doing 👍
thank you!
This is how I learned english, I never put much effort into it but I ended up getting a Cambridge english C1 certificate at the age of 14 because of this, although i gotta say, i feel like i couldve learned much more if i actually studied alongside doing this, i knew barely any english up until the age of 10, that was around the time covid hit so i just watched youtube and tiktok all day and was in a pretty dark place due to the lack of in-person contact with my peers, wasnt a great time but honestly really improved my english, now i want to learn spanish because im gonna start spanish at school next year so why not start sooner by myself, im also going to try and learn korean just for fun and german because i study that in my current school and i honestly wanna improve, so im going to implement this method and if anyones reading this, i wish you good luck with learning and you can do it!
Could you please give me some suggestions for learning English? I can understand everything in English but whenever I talk to someone my brain goes blank. Actually, I wanna improve my written and speaking skills.
Same hear
@@hammadrao9233 i feel you, i still blank sometimes when speaking to people but id recommend just putting yourself out there and just practice with anyone you can (preferrably someone better than you so you can also learn from them) and not worrying about making mistakes, youre still learning after all and even the short lived embarrassement is still going to pay off, maybe finding a study buddy or a teacher to practice with, or perhaps trying one of those apps made specifically for improving your speaking with strangers? not sure about that one since i havent tried it yet but ive heard pretty good things about it, thats probably all i can think of right now, since im still working on my speaking skills and i dont think theyre in no way perfect, but i feel like i sound pretty natural because im always listening to smt in english and kind of mimicking it when i speak or making notes in my head if i dont know the pronunciation, for writing skills, i think reading books in english might help but im not sure, i signed up for my cambridge exam just a month before the exam so i didnt have much time to improve my writing and had no writing experience whatsoever so i just watched SMASH English on youtube and i think i learned everything necessary to make my writing neater since i had to write 2 essays in my exam, dont know much about it though since im not very good at writing in my native language either but looking to improve in there too, i know my comment is very long so i hope i helped atleast a little bit ❤
@@hammadrao9233 just try to talk in english every day for at least for 10 mins. record your process of speaking. than listen to it. while you're listening to your speech you will notice some of your mistakes. and with every video you make, it would be better and better.
same for writing, just start writing a journal about what happens during a day and you will notice the difference soon.
@@intessssa Thanks for your suggestion
Great bro! Keep it up!!! Your pronunciation is just perfect!!!
thank you!
I liked your video,don't stop making dude!
thank you!
You're really good bro ❤
Great job mate. We need to make something we like, instead of wasting our entire free time doing something kinda like boring.. honestly.. I used to read about Martin's Luther King history.. and I could increase my vocabulary in easy way... Also, I used to read and then, closed the eyes, imagined the situation without translating to my native language.. which is portuguese. Fala bem demais irmão, parabéns 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks for this awesome content brother
I'm glad you liked it!
Amazing bro ❤
I like this video but I do have a few problems with watching tv and reading books made for kids. The problem is that there is a lot of children specific words, and random weird filler words that no adault uses in said language. Also many kids shows are too boring for me to watch, that's why I like to look for content made for learners of the language. I reccomend graded readers, and watch youtube videos made for learners, where they use simple languge so it's not too complex to follow. I 100% agree to look for content about subjects you enjoy, it's one of the most important things to keep you motivated on your journey. Thanks for sharing bro! respect from a fellow language learner.
That's another good option! The most important thing is that you do what is best for you and enjoy the journey. I'm glad you liked the video, bro.
I’m pretty sure you’re reading a script at least at around the 4 minute mark and a little time before that but you hide it really well and you speak really well very good public speaking skills you don’t sound like you’re reading you sound like you’re genuinely interested in the topic you’re speaking about and know how to present it well and I’m sure not all of it is script but still that’s pretty impressive good job

Great job bro 😊clap clap for you thanks for share 🎉
thank you!
estoy aprendiendo español pero no tengo muchas amigos españoles con puedo hablar. tengo que mirar más películas en español
I'm studying english for one year, and I hope than I'll get there!
Your English sounds natural for a fast language learner. I'm curious. How long have you been learning English? How much time did it take you to reach your current level of oral proficiency in English since you shifted your mindset in your learning approach?
no just listened and watching it for now
Underated
Estoy aprendiendo solo Español y Japonés y lo todo. Y tengo más pasión en este idiomas
Hey, how you learn English? You are really too much fluent it's amazing. It's look like you are a native speaker . Great go ahead 🎀
thank you! I learned English with the same tips I shared in this video, and I made a video of how I learned English already, but I will make a better one.
@@JoaoSales-JP10 I thought u were a native speaker until I went into the comments lol
I’m learning Italian. If someone wants to learn English and can help with Italian, let me know!
Dude you're crazy. I like that 😅
I know you'll read this and, although I don't often leave comments, I must tell you : I already knew what you were about to say before I clicked and I don't even want to learn a new language, but I wanted to see how well you can present it. As a self-taught multilingual, I appreciate you spreading this information so that more people can understand it's all about input. The traditional method is useless! Keep up the good work!
thank you!
🔥🐐🔥🐐🔥🐐 thank you 🎉
Now , we are not baby , and babies can speak 2-3 sentences in 3 years. Then listen arabic and try to understand . Take a video on ur progress (without studying Arabic, like a baby.
I learned it while working my cookies ,watching and listening what they say it ,just remember it .while set time or secons was running .
I'm learning French, any French people that wanna help me 🙈🙈 native language is (German, Arabic, and I know some englisch)
Muito bom mn. To na luta pra aprender inglês, mas como é uma lingua q eu gosto eu, acabo consumindo muito conteudo em ingles sem nem perceber😅
You’re right about finding resources which we love is more enjoyable in terms of making progress. But when it comes to specific terminology and difficult exams such as ielts , it’s hard to keep going and studying consistently. Because we don’t like the process . In addition to that finding enjoyable contents is not as easy as daily English resources. Do you have any suggestions about it?
I agree with you that studying for exams is different. I once took the Duolingo English test, and it was stressful. Regarding content, it depends on your level. If you're not that advanced, I would recommend watching comedy movies, family-friendly movies, cartoons, and CZcams videos discussing languages like mine. However, it ultimately comes down to your proficiency level. If you're more advanced, you'll find plenty of enjoyable content more easily.
you're a nice guy btw
(I am trying to learn German. Which is... pretty painful)
Spanish I’m learning cause I’m part Dominican an it’s so hard to remember everything but I’m not giving up
my native language is Arabic we can have a conversation
this exactly way that i am learning english. CZcams videos, read manhwas and watching tv shows. i dont spend hours of my day trying to study with phrases. Eu tenho a leve impressão de que vc é br pelo nome kakak,
That is the way, my friend. Eu sou😉
I was so tired when i tried to study with video class and Duolingo. They're so slow, that you can't even achieve the basic in the language you wanna learn.
Eu percebi que ele é br na hora que eu dei play no vídeo kkkkk
I learned it last 4 mons.ago every 2 saat hours dual hard avec start now
Today was my German A1 exam, and unfortunately, I don't think I will pass it. I had only one month to prepare, and I spent it memorizing whole sentences, vocabulary by writing repeatedly, which wasn't effective. I will start using the steps you suggested. I feel like a child who knows nothing about the language. Anyone here who is learning German ?
I said Ived never been going in school class ,finnished my high 4yr high school gh,but I learned it.
I wanna learn Spanish so badly, but i can't speak so fastly without stuttering like crazy
I can help you
I don’t recommend children’s shows or books for certain languages. In Chinese for example this would result in wasting time on learning many useless rare characters
Yeah! Some languages you've got have a slightly different approach.
It's so really difficult to learn a new language, sometimes I struggle practicing in my target language.
you can do it! it doesn't have to be hard, I will make more videos about that.
no information here.
I need a friend, more pacifically. I need a Japanese friend.
I'm trying to learn Spanish
Damn thanks mate I have been trying to learn japanese
same bro. Im going on to study abroad there next year and am having trouble finding what resources work!
i am looking for Italian native speakers
Are these suitable for the german language as well?
yes, a few things may be a little different, but you can use this approach for sure
usou anki?
Como vc aprendeu vocabulário e não esqueçeu?
nao, aprendi vocabulario apenas consumindo o idioma 24h por dia o maximo que conseguisse, e algumas outras taticas, vou fazer um video so sobre ingles
@@JoaoSales-JP10 da pra fazer um vídeo em português explicando?
Você pode criar um vídeo sobre como melhorar seu compreensão de ouvir por favor ❤
I Subscribed Now :) , How many languages do you know ?
Do you think this approach would work for Japanese to (I want to start learning it)?
yes, you just gotta be consistent and fearless
I want to learn Portuguese
1 treat yourself like a kid who trying to learn the language aka watch kid's show
2. Have friends who are native in your target language
3. Watch videos that interst you in your target language
This comment should get more likes

Soon, I will be learning Korean :)
Learning German anyone else a friend that would help😅
Do you watch movies and series with or without subtitles?
A lot of the time if you use subtitles you'll rely on the subtitles
Any native english speaker here that wants to be my friend? Lmao
Especially if you wanna learn Indonesian...I can teach you
is any one can help me in practice italian ?(girls)
Well let's say I am learning Japanese should I have the English translation too, I don't think friends part is unnecessary, I have a habit of talking with myself

On that passion part translat your passion in that sed language you'll get More results

Eu pensando que só o título era em inglês 🤡
this only works for languages that are similar to languages you already know. it would take years if you are only consuming media without real study if you went from english to something like arabic or mandarin
I thought about this when I was making the video, but in general, it can be applied to the most popular languages that people always want to learn
Im learning igbo, Anyone wanna talk,.
Sure!
anyone russian?
French i try to learn i need someone who speak
I’m learning french too. Wanna practice with me?
I‘m learning German, anyone else??
Anyone interested in learning russain with me ?
I wonder how people who make these claims would do on a proficiency test for actfl or cefr???
Are you Brazilian? 🇧🇷
yes
Should learn Latin, 60% of the English language comes from Latin, even higher in academia, science, medicine, law, and can help better English, consider the word apis, means bee, if look at the word apiculture is to do with bee keeping, facile to learn other languages, medical terminology, carpal tunnel, comes from Latin carpus/carpi, Latin is everywhere, from literature to philosophy, many people think its a dead language it's not, poliglots, linguists, academics, the clergy, the Pope will speak to people in Latin, people still speak it, no one has first Latin but it's spoken, it just evolved,in English, Italian French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian, evident in many words, after fall of Rome , Latin never disappeared, continued to take precedence, cadere, ruina, Dominus, (meaning master)- sounds like the word dominant, see Latin is everywhere, even money, the word salarium - salary
that's true
