  • Hi I’m Alvaro!
    In this video we explore the main misconceptions that people have about language learning and that lead them to believe it is not for them.
    You will hopefully come to recognize your own talent for language learning and avoid the pitfalls that keep most from achieving fluency and enjoying the process.

    The best language learning video I've seen. I have pretty much watched them all too. Most people talk techniques, resources, and things like that. I never seen one from the broad perspective of how language fits into our lives, what it is, and our thoughts about it. I actually started with the "this will be easy" attitude, and lately getting discouraged and thinking it's been years now learning danish and i still get lost speaking to natives sometimes. Thus, I've been thinking screw it, I'll never get fluent. You just renewed my motivation to keep working at it. Thanks

    I am monolingual in my first year of university majoring in French and German, and minoring in Spanish. Most tell me, I am insane. 😅. That said my university teaches language learning through flipped learning and I am finding it to be an excellent teaching method. The responsibility of learning the language needs to be on you and your dedication to learning it.

      Couldn't agree more! You aren't insane, the challenge will definitely make something great of you, regardless of whether you ''make it". also those languages are fairly connected so you'll find yourself doing a lot of repurposing, which really helps.
      By the way, what is flipped learning exactly?

    One of the best videos on this topic I have ever watched. Languages on Fire, you are really burning 🤗😂! And in my opinion, learning a new language is like opening a new door which was closed before. Even if you do not enter the new room/house/garden/path/mountain/cave/... (= if you stay at a beginner level or just learn the script/alphabet or the pronunciation), you can still take a look at this new world and be amazed and enjoy the view. Really a new world view if you take a closer look.🥰😇

      We are glad you liked it! Definitely, it is incredible how much you can feel connected to a distant culture just be getting to understand even just a bit of their language. How they say I love you, a song, a poem, greetings, their writing system, some common expression... :)

      If in doubt choose Assimil :D
      But people say that’s another misconception: it being about the perfect course or method, but what matters more is committing to language learning…

      I agree! Sometimes just getting on with it is the way to go!
      I used shows and flashcards mostly for Greek but I was also very lucky to be surrounded by many Greek and Cypriot friends. :)

    2,000 hours of comprehensible input

      Maybe that will do the trick!
      But I have realized that without much active practice my skills also fall short. Passive is great and is often overlooked, but it does not train your skills as much as I had hoped.

      It's important to know that with comprehensible input, you will pass through a stage of receptive bilingualism, where you're able to understand a language fairly clearly, but not easily speak it. For instance, while learning Spanish, I read Don Quixote before I was capable of holding any sort of conversation.
      Pero, en fin, eso es algo transitoria. Llegare algo tiempo en que los palabras del idioma en que estudias simplemente arrive en tuya cabeza como gotas en la lluvia. Esta probablamente occure mas despues que anticipas, pero del todo modo, occure.
      In any case, the single biggest advantage of comprehensible input is just that it's vastly more enjoyable than other learning methods. For instance, last night I was up late reading a book in French. Would I have spent 6 hours straight doing boring exercises? No, I don't think so! 6 hours glued to a book where I'm excited to see what happens next is a completely different story. Same goes for watching movies, CZcams, etc. The key to learning a language is making it a fun activity that you can do in your leisure time rather than a chore. Comprehensible input can do that.
