Wow thanks so much for this super interesting video! I am a 52 years old man who has decided to study Hindi ! I began to study it 2 weeks ago and I was thinking that I was a bad student because I could study it just for 30/40 minutes a day. I am approaching to a new language after many years so you can imagine my difficulties... Besides as you know in youtube when you start to watch a video ,you get on the right a lot of suggestions about the same subject so I got lost... Now with your suggestions I am feeling much better .A question:how many new words do you try to memorize ech day or week? Hugs from Italy,ciao :)
Hello Antonio, thank you for sharing your story and it is truly inspiring! I always believe that we could learn a language at any age if we want to! I will try to make more study method videos to help in the future. When it comes to vocabulary, the most important thing is not the number we learn every day, because it really depends on your time and energy. Even if you only learn 10 words a day, if you digest them, make sentences with them and revise them, after 30 days you will have 300 words digested, which is more productive than studying 50 words a day but you forget most of them after a month.
Good luck with learning Hindi! I'm a native speaker and I feel happy when people try to learn Hindi.
@@andrewvijaya8414 धन्यवाद 😃. I am still learning your alphabet and barakhadi. Are you studying any foreign language?
@@zoe.languages thanks 😊. Let me know if one day you decide to study Italian language. You will discover another new world. I really think that when a person decides to study any foreign language, she/he finds the key for a new world 😃.
@@antoniob.italia79 Oh many... I speak Hindi/Urdu and Punjabi at native level, and I speak English fluently cause, you know, I'm Indian,, I am fluent in German and now I am learning Indonesian, Turkish and Japanese. I'm 18 so I have my whole life in front of me for languages.
1- make a reasonable plan for yourself, u don't have to copy other's plan.
2- Do less but regularly, the most thing is consistincey.
3- Do it less but with focus.
thanks

Hi it's great to see a polyglot. I speak 5 languages Bengali, English, French, Dutch and Greek however understand passively and communicate also in arabic, Spanish and Italian. I studied for a while by myself Russian but stopped as I was busy with work. Some years back while traveling in Iran I was able to speak Farsi as Bengali has many Farsi words and comes from Indo-European root. One day I would love to learn Chinese as I love calligraphy as well. I practice Arabic calligraphy which I find that it holds graphic and poetic expressions and is an extension of the beauty of languages ❤️❤️❤️
Goed bezig
Thank you for sharing ❤️
I want to learn Bengali one day ☺️
Wowwwww🤧 can you give ME tips please please
Nice to know that☺ btw my mother tounge is bengali ,from west bengal
I'm from Brazil. I just found your channel. My tips are: Listen a lot even before start learning the language. Rewatch the same interview video weekly or at least monthly because your level on the language is always rising, so the video is familiar to you and you will be able to understand more each time. Watch movies and tv shows (one or two episodes) without subtitles first, then rewatch it with subtitles on the language you are learning and the last time with subtitles in your mother tongue. If you want you can do it all again. Wish you the best, Zoe
hello i am french and i am learning portugues and i search some people to communicate with me but i find no one and i don't know how to practice how speak orally
@@divineboa2589 hey, are you still looking for someone to practice with? I'm Brazilian, also learning french
@@pxmish Hi! Yes I’m Stills searching for someone to practicr with
@@divineboa2589 Hello! If you are still looking for someone to practice portuguese, I can chat with you, I'm also starting to learn french
@@marinapinheiro4474 yes 😁
The problem of learning foreign languages is maintaining the ability.
Once you get the B level, you start to be fed up with the language you have learned, unless you have a very high motivation and specific purpose to learn the language.
And after that the next question is whether you can maintain the level that has been attained.
I learned German long time ago, and been to Munich to participate in a summer course..
I reached B2 or even almost C1 in German long time ago, but now it seems that I can only answer relatively correct the B1 level.
My German deteriorates.
Language is a matter of habits and habitation....
Couldn't agree more
in brief:
This is a video by Zoe, a PhD student in Sociology from China, currently studying in France.
In this video, she shares her journey learning multiple languages and provides three tips on how to effectively learn a language independently.
1. **Make a reasonable plan**: Zoe emphasizes the importance of planning when learning a language.
She suggests starting with a broad overview of the grammar and vocabulary of the new language, using structured resources like books, audio/video courses, or apps like Duolingo.
She advises against using too many materials at once to avoid confusion.
She emphasizes focusing on specific skills (listening, speaking, writing, and reading) that align with personal learning goals.
For instance, if the goal is to speak fluently, she suggests focusing on pronunciation and everyday conversation.
She also recommends writing diaries in the target language to practice tenses and vocabulary.
Zoe stresses the need to have a personalized study plan that fits one's schedule and learning pace.
2. **Do it less, but do it regularly**: Zoe explains that consistency is crucial in language learning.
Even if it's just 15 or 30 minutes daily, regular studying helps the brain get accustomed to a new language.
She shares her own experience of learning Turkish and Persian amidst a busy schedule by dedicating 15 to 30 minutes a day using textbooks and Anki flashcards for vocabulary review.
She also used Tandem, a language exchange app, for practicing with native speakers.
3. **Do it with focus**: Zoe highlights the importance of focused and active learning.
She counters the idea of passive exposure to a language and stresses the importance of active listening or attentive studying.
She provides a practical example of how she improves her Arabic listening skills by watching short videos multiple times: first without subtitles, then with subtitles to check new vocabulary, and finally repeating sentences to practice accent and pronunciation.
She introduces an add-on tool called Reverso that translates and saves unfamiliar words from subtitles for review.
Zoe concludes her video by inviting viewers to comment with their language learning experiences and difficulties and to suggest future video topics.
She also reminds viewers to like and subscribe to her channel.
which app do you use?
I am in the same place in Arabic. I have learned to read and write it, and I can have a simple conversation. My biggest thing has been training my ear to listen. I think listening and writing correct verbs is always the most challenging thing in any language. I hope to be like you one day, and speak not just three languages but also ASL, a language and culture in and of itself. Good luck to all out here!
If you want help me in english I ll help you in Arabic
@@ferasmetras1479yeah same here
If you want to learn Arabic tell me also l want to learn English. I'm from Iraq. accent of Iraq it's very very clearing.
Okay, after watching hundreds of language learning tips videos on CZcams, this one has to be the best. Tips that are actually helpful and ones I can easily apply to my language learning routine.
Primera vez que me siento cómodo en escribir en español, en un canal cuyo lenguaje es diferente al español..... felicitaciones por tu gran humanidad....

@@justinherrera3722 No creo.
So practical, inspiring, and fun, Zoe! Thanks for taking the time out of your crazy busy PhD schedule:)
Thank you Zoe, love your channel, and your open mind and ambition to communicate with so many people!!!
I think the most important langauges in the world are:
SPANISH ENGLISH CHINESE FRENCH GERMAN JAPANESE ARABIC SWAHILI PORTUGESE ITALIAN RUSSIAN
With these a person could become so smart!~~~~~~
Lately, I decided that I want to go beyond my school Arabic education but had no idea how to do that. Thank you sm for the tips :)
A pleasure meeting you virtually. Very impressed by your achievements. I love learning languages as well and your tips are extremely helpful especially the tool Reverso. Thank you for a great and informative video
Great tips! Love the 3rd tip as I'm studying on my own too. Will try it out for my Spanish!
Very inspiring, thank you for your tips! I speak Arabic, French, English, Spanish and Croatian (not at the same level). Would love to learn a new language this year.Thank you for showing us it's possible despite a busy schedule. I also agree that you need some structure and a reasonable plan .
I am always happy to meet polyglot friend here! Wish you good luck in your language learning journey ☺️
My mother tongue is Russian, my second language is English, I speak French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German and know basic Japanese and my dad's mother tongue Polish. Currently I am trying to study Chinese and Arabic (which are both quite hard and much harder than the other languages mentioned above) and continue studying Japanese. I love this video and fully agree!
I have a question. Don't you get confused between words as you know many languages. As every language has different words. Don't they get misplaced in languages ?
@@kd7412 Sure, firstly, I am trying to practice every language separately and every day (eg by watching news, Netflix, reading) - with time, the ability to switch from language to language came (I acknowledge that I can still occasionally confuse Spanish and Portuguese, but only in writing). Secondly, I have a job (at an international law firm) which allows me to practice. Thirdly, many of these languages are different (and I studied those which are from the same group very slowly when I had time, so I was not overwhelmed by differences at a time).
@@user-xb4mf6vr7n Thank u so much for your reply. I found it very helpful.
The Arabic language is easy, believe it, learn it with love
Você aprendeu falar o português de Portugal, do Brasil, de outro lugar ou um português mais geral mesmo? :)
Thanks for the tips I've been learning English for about 82 days , isn't so much but I really enjoy and I think that day by day I'm getting better and better , the secret's always be motivated :D
if you continue to do it constantly, I'm sure you will progress
@@zoe.languages thank you , I want learn english because I live in Brazil and I'm just spending time at home doing nothing , can't find any job , hope with english maybe it change
i hope lanuague will open a new door for you
@@ThejmxszTFM your english sounds good!
This is an well written comment. Good job 👌
Thank you so much Zoe! I'm a polyglot already, I know 10 languages by the age of 21 (not all perfectly, but still), but even with that experience I don't have a useful tactic to learn languages faster. I always just did whatever I felt like I wanted to do in the moment, and I only did it when I had motivation, but recently I started realizing how important and powerful consistent studying is, and I was looking for more focused and goal-oriented ways to study, and your ways sound like life-changers for me 😍 especially the one on how you work with short videos. Thank you! 💕
Me encanta su energia Zoe es usted muy inteligente, senti la motivación de comenzar a practicar un par de idiomas, siempre me encantantaron los idiomas. Gracias por compartir sus vídeos, felicitaciones 👏 👍 😊
Pfff.. vous avez du courage. Managing your schedule with all those different task, respect. It inspires me.
Wow, this is so impressive! I never thought it was possible to learn Persian or multiple languages at the same time... so great tips and a really awesome video, good luck!
I can't believe you managed to learn so many languages all at once. I've been studying English for about 5 years now, and I'm still wavering between moving forward to French or not. You're truly impressive!
do it!! yes, French can have complicated grammar but if you already know another romance language (assuming it's Portuguese) then it shouldn't be that difficult. you have the concept of masculine/feminine, singular/plural, direct/indirect compliments. learning French would allow you to open communication with a lot of places; Europe, Canada, Africa. it's challenging but rewarding. pronunciation shouldn't be much of a challenge because of the nasalization and the guttural "r" that are already found in Portuguese. in my case I learned Portuguese and because I already knew French and Spanish I didn't find Portuguese difficult, now the only challenge is to keep practicing.
فيديو مفيد جدا، شكرا جزيلا
إنني أحرص على استخدام اللغة العربية الفصحى، وأسعد بل وأشجع كل من يريد تعلمها أو استخدامها
Thank you for this video, Zoe. I'm currently learning French and it's a beautiful journey. I can manage simple words and I'm taking it a step at a time. These tips will be very helpful.
Thank you, again.
learning new foreign languages is the most interesting thing ever.. i also know 5 languages my mother tongue (arabic, syrian) included, the others are french, english, russian, and italian.. for french and italian, i started with duolingo, and a grammar book, as you do in your process of learning, i also create scenarios about different situations, and speak them out, i try to think and talk to myself in a language i choose this or that day.. i subscribed to specific youtube channels, and follow them, i watch movies, and read books, each time with a different language, to keep my brain ready to shift easily from one to another.. i'm also, a ph.d holder, and was a professor for more than 15 years.. yet i know there's a lot to learn, and once we stop learning, that same moment we stop evolving.. and eventually extinct..
thank you for this interesting video
Wonderful, glad to see we use a lot of similar methods!! wish you good luck
This is really helpful, Zoe! I am learning Spanish, Moroccan Arabic, Standard Arabic and French. I am doing a lot of listening. More videos please as we linguistics need all the inspiration we can get.

Your advices are so useful and I really needed it.. thank you
I'm interested in how you combine your thesis research with language learning. What did you study during your undergrad and masters? Also, which languages do you directly use for your research :) Thank you, love your videos
I also studied sociology in Master, my PhD research focuses on the refugee issues in Europe. In fact I chose this subject in order to use several languages (Arabic, English, French and German) in my work. it's very challenging but I can combine my work and my passion
Thank you. This is inspiring!
I know Norwegian and English fluently and then I know Swedish/Danish (but they are like bonus languages that comes almost for free), Spanish, German and French. But mostly Spanish and German but far from fluently so still practicing but for now my focus is Spanish.
It’s so fun when you have been struggling to learn for a while but then you just remember it and understand it. Something clicks and you can understand people when overhearing conversations on the bus, songs etc. Such a great feeling. I only use Duolingo, it takes time but my motivation is still there.
Babble is also good I think.
Thats amazing good luck

You inspire me so much. I’m so happy I discovered your channel from your french vlog! I’ve never watched a CZcams video before that the advise really stuck with me after. You are so right about finding little bits of time in a day, over time that all adds up. Everything you have said has really helped my language journey. Thank you so much!!!
Keep going !☀️
Hey Zoe!

Thank you very much, very useful !! I loved the translator you spoke about and the tandem site 😍. I can speak Arabic, English, Turkish and now I am learning French 😃
Wish you good luck my friend ❤️
I'm also a polyglot but after learning other languages (on my own since 1999) I've noticed that until I hear the language and understand where one word ends and the other begins I won't be able to learn anything but random vocabulary I noticed this very clearly with Finnish and Dutch.
I don't speak any language that doesn't have the Latin alphabet, maybe when I start Russian or Korean this method needs to be changed but for now that's what works in my experience.
By the way, I'm Brazilian and therefore my first language is Portuguese.
Zoe I'm passionate about China, I even tried to write my final paper at the university on Chinese unification under Qin rule but they didn't let me because there was no expert to be my advisor. I studied History.

Maybe you'll learn Chinese one day😉 you never know how much our passion can drive us

Thank you
Your subtitle doesn't look machine. Seems like you're working on it. I think you deserve recognition. Keep coming would love to learn more from you. Thank you
I spent a lot of time on it 🥲🥲but it’s another way to practice languages😂😂😂
Hello, Zoe. Good video, thank you for sharing. One thing I'd like to recommend for training your listening skills. When you go to bed, keep the headphones in your ears and listen anything in the language you learn. Better to listen to the text or conversation that contains words that you already know. Do not stop listening and fall asleep. There is a short gap between the moment when you fall asleep and go to a deep sleep mode. At this time the brain absorbs the sound the best. I am not saying that you will learn those words automatically, BUT your brain will be adopt the new language code. If you do this 3 times per week, you will begin understand the native speakers much faster and easier. I am not sure how it works, but it does. Just remember, that this method will take some time to get used to it.
Thank you for sharing this interesting information
Hello, Roman. Your notice about listening and falling a sleep is very interesting. I heard about it and I'll try this method. I am leaning English. If you can help me please reply to me
That’s really interesting, I’ll give that a try. I usually listen to things while I sleep anyway (usually white noise), but I think it’ll be beneficial for me to listen to something in the language I’m trying to learn. Hopefully it helps a bit!
Thank u so much
Miraculously, I’ve just stumbled on your channel & it’s a exactly what I need. I desperately want to learn Arabic but didn’t know how. Thanks for all the tips! P.s. could you recommend good Arabic series with English subtitles?
I'm from Iraq. If you want to learn Arabic tell me. I also I want to learn English. accent of Iraq very very easy and cleaning. tell me if you want that
Mandarin has always seemed like an intriguing language to me, but I'm also put off by accounts of individuals pronouncing tones incorrectly and conveying different meanings than intended. Still, the fact that you can speak seven languages is like a superpower, and motivational, thanks!
But I know some foreigners can pronounce the tones perfectly, just need a few tips. I recently made a video about this with a friend, hope this can encourage you to learn mandarin
What is the name of the video?
This is sooo inspiring to me!!! Zoe just showed me the possibility of learning new things at the same time and she made it, which is shocking but motivating~ thx so much

Hello Zoe! I have always been interested in learning new languages, I only know English really and since I grew up in a Hispanic household, I also know a bit of Spanish as well. I want to learn so many other languages, as well as my dad's Spanish dialect, Otomi. I feel like these tips will really help me, I always thought to learn something you had to learn for hours and hours so I would get stressed out knowing I didn't have that time. Your method makes prioritizing the time spent learning, however small it is, important and meaningful. Thank you!

yes Reverso. Wish you the best ☺️
I’m learning French. I learned in high school but completely ignored it the last 15 years lol so I’m revamping. The hardest part for me is learning masculine and feminine. I know how to conjugate accordingly if only I could remember what is masculine and feminine. I try to compare the words to their genders into something I can remember but even then I second guess myself and I get it wrong a lot lol. The second hardest part is knowing where to put the “des, les, au, a, ou, de, le, un, une, la, en” lol it gets confusing as it doesn’t seem consistant but I know that English isn’t very consistent either so that’s comforting lol
1) The 7 varieties of pronouns, which all
languages might have,
but French uses some same, others different among the 7-nous & vous in all 7, but then
much chaos in overlapping or not.
However, some French You Tube teachers explain these, which still seem chaotic. See Perfect French + Dylane,
French Mornings +!Elisa,
Francais Avec Nelly,
Learn French + Elisabeth,
French also has illogical?
pronunciation exceptions

Hi thanx for sharing your inspiring everyday study routine!😍
I would like to ask you, how do you organize your notes and exercises? Different language, different notebook? Do you separate glossaries from the other notes? Thank you 😊
Noted down !
I learned English and French when I was five years old and now I learned the Korean language and I want to learn Chinese soon. I hope you will make a video and explain to us how to learn Chinese. I am your new subscriber from Algeria, I love you 💓

Hey Zoe, this video meant a lot to me. You explode the excitement's volcano inside me. I was very confused cause I want to learn two languages and improve my English. but I just felt it's too much. Now I am so inspired by you💜💜💜.
I'm happy you found it inspiring :)😊
Hello! I just stumbled upon your channel, I love learning about other languages! Cheers!
I have tried to learn languages by different ways, but your tips are very useful, especially when we don't have to learn it as a bored and structure themes like in the school. We should create our own friendly methods for keeping the motivation. Thank you Zoe.
Hi loved the video. I’m learning Modern Standard Arabic for the GCSE this May/June do you recommend any podcasts or videos and what other materials did you use? Thank you.
Yes, I watch a lot AJ+ عربي and الجزيرة الوثائقية, make sure with CC Arabic subtitle, you can check my study vlog in which I show how I study Arabic 😊😊بالتوفيق
شكرا لكِ، استفدتُ من نصائحك 👍
Very good advice, greatly appreciated! 👍
Dear Zoe, thank you so much for this video! It is both lucid and inspiring☺️ What can you advice for those who decided to learn Mandarin from 0? I'm into Chinese culture and philosophy. Wanna know this language. But do not know what the resources to choose for learning. What can you advice me?
Hey, thank you! To learn Mandarin, you can check out my new video, I share a lot of resources for self-study Mandarin😊
مرحباً زوي، فيديو جميل كالعادة. شكراً لك. 🌹
لدي سؤال، هل قمتِ بدراسة لغتين معاً في نفس الوقت؟ هل هذا فعّال؟ أم أنه من الأفضل التركيز على لغة واحدة فقط؟
شكراً لك، تحياتي من سوريا 🇸🇾
Hi I am a Arabic student in Turkey an i am learning Arabic language besides that i am learning English and if you are wanting to learn Turkish i can help you
Hi, excellent tips. Thank You especially for this Reverso add !
Thank you so much! I’m so inspired!
Bir önceki videonda Beni Türk sanıyorlar demişsin Zoe. Gerçekten benziyorsun. Ama daha çok Orta Asya'daki Türklere benziyorsun. Başarılar❤
مرحبا صديقتي zoe أتمنى انك لخير
انا ايضا ادرسphd ومن المفروض هذه السنة أناقش ولكن متأخرة قليلا ..
إذا اردتي يمكن أن أعلمك لهجة الجزائرية فهي مختلفة قليلا عن السورية ومنها أتدرب معك أكثر على الانجليزية ..
أتمنى لك كل التوفيق في الدكتوراة فهي تحتاج مجهودا كبيرا وانا حقا فخورة بك لانك وصلتي لهذا المستوى 😉😘✌
Thanks for the tips. This was very helpful.
Zoe. Really beautiful viedo. Nice see to watch. Keep it up.
YOU ARE A GENIUS WITH AMAZING SKILLS:
China is the global superpower, economically and militarily.

China and the people of China are an inspiration to me and all developing world.
I have 2 questions that I hope anyone reading could offer advice for!
1)
I really want to learn Arabic, Feyli Kurdish, French, Korean and Chinese, however I'm so nervous that I mix everything together if I study more than 1 language at a time. Do you have any tips for "seperating" your learning and not mixing?
2)
For a language with VERY restricted amount of material to maybe none available material, how would you approach such a language? )'-:
I've tried to find language exchange partner, however those I found (that are Feyli's themselves) mix kurdish with persian due to heavy assimilation, hence many words they don't know themselves in their mother language.
Would be grateful for any tips and advice!!
Look online for out of print books if any exist or online databases for dictionaries. I reached out to a linguist at a university who studied a rare/extinct language and they shared resources with me.
I'm from Iraq. Baghdad If you want to learn Arabic tell me. I also want to learn English
@@user-os8vb2js2k Can I contact you somewhere else than here?
I'm from Iran. You made me happy by learning my mother language 🥰🥰🥰
By the way thank you for your useful advices 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Zoe,
Very useful tips you've given here. Thanks for the valuable content.
I've spotted one consistent mistake in your english pronunciation though. You tend to omit, or not pronounce, the consonants 'd' and 'm' at the ends of the words. For the letter 'd', this typically happens with past conjugations of verbs. For 'm', the word 'time' is an example. You might want to focus and rectify these in your pronunciation.
Cheers & all the best 😊
Thank you very much! I will try to pay attention to it 😊
I am assuming Zoe is from the Guangdong region in China. If so, then cantonese is her first language and mandarin her second. Cantonese speakers struggle much more than mandarin speakers do when pronouncing English words. Zoe has outstanding pronunciation when you put into that context.
@@CatETru Thanks for the insight, mate. 😊🙏 It is fascinating how much there is to discover about languages and pronunciation in particular.
@@CatETru Thank you for this comment☺️I am originally from Guangxi but I lived in Guangdong for 8 years. In fact, I like people to correct me nicely like that, that's how we progress, right?
Thank you for your tips!!! Subscribed❤️
you have inspired me to start my mother tongue is Arabic, Egyptian arabic. I want to learn Turkish I feel like I'm ready to acctually start i know some words from series and songs and your videos were helpful!!🤍🤍🤍
Wow... this is the first time I've heard of Reverso. 🤯😱 It looks like a very powerful and useful tool! For the longest time, I've been trying to figure out a good method of tracking new vocabulary along with context, so it's nice to know about this. I've been struggling to get from intermediate to advanced in Chinese, and it's been hard for me to remember and keep track of the context I learn similar vocabulary words. I will definitely check it out!!!
How do you review the new vocabulary that you learn from the Arabic videos? Do you ever revisit those videos later on, or do you just watch other videos on similar topics so that you can hear the vocabulary in a slightly different context? Do you use any other tools or apps to help get exposure to vocabulary in different contexts? I noticed that as an intermediate language learner in Chinese, it's been hard for me to fully understand all the different ways that a new vocabulary word can be used, especially since a lot of words can be used as both a verb and a noun. I'm not sure how to expose myself to different usages and contexts of new words in an effective manner. I haven't really found any good resources with a large library of sentences. Is there a particular method you use to master vocabulary?
I like your tip about writing about focusing on verb conjugation and learning to talk about things in the past, present, and future. I guess verb tenses are not a huge part of Chinese grammar, but I recently started to learn French, so this will be useful to keep in mind when I get a little more advanced in French to write.
Thank you so much for sharing your tips and your story!! Actually I've been having the same dilemma about starting and balancing studying multiple languages at once, but I feel extra motivated to hear about how you spent 15 minutes per day and was still able to make meaningful progress in the language! I've also been dabbling a little bit in Arabic and Russian but initially felt hesitant to commit only 15 minutes a day because I was worried if it wouldn't amount to anything, but now I feel less worried after hearing your story~ 💚🤩
I've also been dedicating a few minutes every other day to learn Cambodian for the past 2-3 weeks, and I was really surprised at myself when all of a sudden the alphabet and sounds somehow just felt more intuitive in my mind. Consistency is definitely key! And I also realized that sleep also probably plays a huge role into giving your brain time to consolidate all the new information and into your subconscious and long term memory 🙂
oh and also, thank you for clarifying and emphasizing on how to have a more focused and productive study session. I remember during the early stages of learning Chinese, people would constantly recommend me to watch more videos and dramas in Chinese to improve my language skills, but it just made me feel frustrated with myself for not being able to learn anything and it just felt like I was wasting my time and made me think that I was just bad at learning languages and it really destroyed my self confidence and motivation to learn as well.
I've been pushing myself recently to find a method that works for me and how to study smarter instead and to find materials that are interesting to me. I love the tip you have about choosing a short video to watch and practicing that in different stages with and without subtitles. I feel like I always put too much pressure on myself to immerse myself and to expose myself to lots of different materials. I also recently discovered Assimil as a great resource for getting started in a language. It motivates me to work harder on my French since the majority of their resources are in French 😂
I also like the tip you had about just focusing on pronunciation even if you don't understand it! I think this is very useful especially for languages that have a lot of foreign sounds that don't exist in our native language.
It's extremely helpful that you give concrete examples of how you study and the reasons why. I think it helps debunk a lot of misconceptions that people have about language learning.
Wow girl this comment makes me want to cry, you totally understood all the details I wanted to highlight !! To review the vocabulary of course, in fact, all the new words I learned, I will make anki flash cards, I will make a video to explain how I memorize and review the vocabulary. I like all the specific questions you ask. I will do my best to make the content more concrete and precise.
@@zoe.languages Aw ❤️
Well if I’m being completely honest, I have come to some of the same conclusions myself very recently in the past few weeks while trying to pick up new languages and was also thinking about how to share those tips with other people. I’m glad you’ve been able to share all these insights in a very concise and clear way. I will definitely share your video with my other language learning friends ^^
I actually think it’s a little funny that the video title says “3 tips”, but I feel like there is soooo much more than that! Tbh, I will probably rewatch it a few times bc of how many details you shared and also bc it will also take some time for me to incorporate all the tips into my own study routine 😊
Oh and I tried Reverso for Chinese today, but it’s not able to recognize compound words yet, unfortunately. I will try it when I get to an intermediate stage for French later though.
I look forward to seeing your anki video! I still need to figure out how to make it engaging for me to use 😅 or just finding any effective/engaging method to review vocabulary, really.
