    I got to a B1.2 level in French after one year thanks to Lingq. Now my goal is to be fluent in 2022. And that actually feels like a realistic goal.

      B1.2 is almost fluent, stack your goals higher bro, you went within one year from nothing to a good B1. If you keep that pace you can as well reach a C1 within just one year more!

    I just knew you this morning while watching your interview with Johan in his youtube channel "français authentique" and in the few first seconds of the video you became my first example in learning languages, exactly at the moment when you said that you speak 12 languages. I really like learning languages, for now i'm learning English, French and Spanish. So thank you sir for your help and your inspiration!!

    And how about idioms that cannot be translated literally?

    I find listening whilst doing nothing very difficult as my mind always wanders. To combat this I try to find something to occupy my hands with, what has worked well for me is a painting by numbers app funnily enough. The key is that there's nothing to read, it's rewarding to see the final picture and it occupies my hands allowing my mind to fully concentrate on what I'm listening to. Similarly if I find my mind wandering while reading or tuning in to background noises I listen to music that has no lyrics, usually classical music. Anyone who's reading this should give it a try!

    Hi Steve. In regards to genders, using German (one of my active languages) as a prime example with 3 genders as you know, how would you best suggest approaching genders. Should I learn it with each word or perhaps approach this differently? I've become familiar with ending like ung, heit , keit, e, etc which are almost always feminine, but these only work to an extent and somewhat inconsistent (some endings more than others). Will this gender awareness come naturally and gradually over years of exposure? Currently I'm at a C1 stage and have a large vocab as well as advanced in grammar. The only problem is without knowing the gender, you do not know what grammar rules to apply (in German that is)

    • @lewisfitzsimmons1271
      @lewisfitzsimmons1271 Před 3 lety

      TomFilms I believe the general consensus on this is to learn words in context alongside the article, any preposition and reflexive particles whenever possible...
      However as a fellow German learner, I did not find this suited my learning approach, so I instead am taking in an obscene amount of listening and reading paying particular attention to these bits.
      It has helped me a lot, I can’t necessarily tell you what gender a noun is, but I can tell which article sounds right In different cases and work it out from that :)

    Will there be videos like this with people learning languages that you don't know but are on Lingq? You're still talking about language learning but at least then it's not about giving tips, but getting some insight on other languages, even if they're not yet on Lingq. Like a livestream/video with people learning Finnish or Indonesian (or natives of these) and talk about what you could expect if you start them yourself or something like that. It may be in English but in any case, nothing wrong in swallowing your pride and learning from others instead of being like those kinds of polyglots always preaching the same advice as if they're experts while everyone is still clueless and incapable of independency. People have learned/are learning languages not on Lingq and it's surprising others either can't adapt or don't know how to use the internet

    @Steve Kaufmann, 15:04 min. mark. Your point about NOT using your own subvocalizing in a new language BUT being attentive purely to (Your tip of ** "NOTICING"** ) the native speaker in its place when reading text IS A SOLID ONE and brings the following tip to mind. Peter M. Vishton, PhD of Psychology at The College of William & Mary, once observed that, if you want a person in a noisy room to hear you better, speaking into their RIGHT EAR registers much more distinctly for the listener. ***THUS, MY TAKE AWAY for language learning is: 1.) Be aware of and apply that strategy and turn your right ear MORE towards a live native speaker to NOTICE their accent more effectively. NEXT? 2.) Use the old "radio-announcer's trick" of cupping your hand between your mouth and your right ear to ease 2.A.) monitoring of your own rythym and accent; 2.B.) "shadowing pronunciation" (i.e. comparing your speech with that of a native speaker in an audio comparison on LingQ.)*** Hope this is worth your reading. P.S. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE ON GENERATING NEW LANGUAGES, STEVE?. (Best Regards From newly-enrolled Lifetime LinqQ subscriber to LingQ German AND LingQ French categories!) It's GREAT! 🙂
