JA****************:

Summary:
The speaker is a polyglot, means she can speak many languages fluently.
As she is a polyglot, everyone asking her to tell the secret to learn language.
Then she decided to find what is in common in other polyglots all over the world which enabled to learn language faster.
So she went to polyglots events and met other polyglots and asked about their method to learning a language.
What she find out was that every one was having their unique method to learning a language.
Someone starts speaking on day 1 even though there are 200 mistakes, and some other starts learning 500 most frequent words in that language and some other starts learning grammar of language. They all are not following a unique method to learn. So then she find out 4 things that are common in every polyglot. Here are the four.

Top Comments : [TED] The secrets of learning a new language | Lýdia Machová

cr*************:

When she said watch a YouTube video while eating breakfast, I felt that. Because that is what I’m doing right now lol

Ba***********:

personally, I like watching K-drama to learn Korean. When I first learned English, I started by watching cartoons that talk in English.

Ga**************:

Today I watched this talk but I turned on sub, sorry for myself.

ai******:

Why is everybody learning a new language by watching friends? sigh

Ra**********:

Great talk.
I’m a native Spanish speaker from Guatemala. I spent almost 6 years of my childhood trying to learn English until I got frustrated and quit to the language-learning process. Two years ago I decided to give it a shot again but, this time I was going to do something I didn’t do back in my childhood. I started by learning basic grammar stuff and watching my favorite Netflix shows with subtitles in English. After two years I can hold a fluent conversation with English native speakers, I understand almost everything I hear, I don’t need subtitles anymore, I’m able to understand sarcasm and to make jokes using it.
I know I make mistakes, but who doesn’t? I’m working one more year on my English hoping to finally reach real proficiency. Then I might learn French, Italian or German. Who knows?

An*****************:

I can’t stop loving the way how it sounds when she say ‘polyglot ‘

Ra****:

My challenge :
By the end of quarantine, I’ll be able to watch anime undubbed.

Edit: Well, use subs lmao.

Be********:

Very proud of our Lýdia for representing the language learning community so strongly on such a big platform! As well as being mentioned in the video (thanks for that!!) she came to visit my office in NY right after she gave this talk , so that’s my double relevant claim to fame.

She’s the real deal, and has been a strong contributor to the polyglot community for some time. Can’t wait to hear all the stories of those who’ll be inspired to learn a language after seeing this video!

Oj**********:

I speak Hindi and English. I am learning french and I am interested in Korean language #BTS. Life is tough

Ja***********:

Language Learning Hacks:
Ex.
English - go to America
Spanish - go to Spain

Ja***:

Duolingo is a great start to learning many languages for beginners.

Fe*****************:

Ok, after this I will give me one more chance to master Dutch :) Thanks for the motivation!

Za***:

I am learning French right now.
This video was in my recommendation and after watching it I felt so much happier about learning French and more languages!
Je suis très contente!

Fl***************:

My dad told me "you are not good speaking another languages" when I was 20 Years old.
Today I'm 35. I speak 5 languages studying with love and hapiness for years.
And yes, my father is an idiot.

Kl******************:

“talk to yourself”

sims: trait unlocked : Insane

BT*******:

In my country if I’m speaking English then my frns be like :-
“ someone’s trying to be over smart “

Yi***********:

We polyglots have another thing in common: We all love "Friends"

IA*******:

This made me realize I can literally learn from music because I learned Spanish in school but it bored me and kinda made me not want to learn but yet the music draws me in and same for Korean I want to learn it I’ve listened to Korean music for 8 years now and feel comfortable enough to honestly learn it and this video makes me feel better since I’m only fluent in English it would be nice to know more then just that.

Bl*******:

The moments of understanding are the best. I tend to do a little dance like: "Oh yeah, I understood that."

Bl********:

she got me at every point. Harry Potter, Friends, everyway

UP*******:

To be honest, my skills to speak with foreign languages better and vividly while I studied with my own passion

Je************:

Brazilians are so creative! I loved "The Lucas' Method" of learning russian on Skype

lo******:

Is nobody going to talk how smooth her voice is?

Mu***:

I Speak 5 Languages. and I confirm These tips are Genuine, One more thing to add,


If you didn't have the passion to learn the language it won't be easy to learn.
Good luck everyone.

Ma*************:

Everybody: looks at the fllags and think that it's schocking how many languages they are able to speak
Me: wow! it's the flag of my country! (and the fact of learning this language isn't so obvious)

Mo*:

I currently speak English , Russian and Hebrew fluently and now working on French :)

Mi***********:

I’m guessing you have to watch with subtitles? Or have a general idea of the dialogue before just watching tv in a different lay gauge?

Zi**********:

I’m from Russia, and I learn finnish, because I want to move to Finland.
At first I didn't understand why I couldn't remember words from a textbook.
Then I started watching Finnish TV shows, listening to podcasts, doing duolingo and ”Hi, native!”.
My progress became apparent within a month.
I recommend this methods of learning the language to everyone!

Ca********:

so this woman has a whole tedtalk and all she says is "try finding a method you like" without actually talking about methods that work

Lo**********:

reminds me of namjoon who learned english just by watching friends

DO****:

Day 1:
Activity : listening and comprehension(I hope I have written it well, in case can you correct it please?)
I am learning English by listening Ted and the news. I feel happy because I am able to understand the general context of what the conductor is saying. But she still speaks too fast, I need to practice more.


Day 2
Activity : podcasts and Netflix
Instead of wasting time in Netflix I have decided to follow Breaking Bad in English. I have seen the first two episodes. To be sure, I have put the subtitles. Everything I will not understand will be written on paper.
Also today I have heard two listening, one about cronic insomnia(a doctor has given some advices to sleep better) and the other one was about loneliness(I have understood loneliness is different from isolation). Isolation is meant strictly in terms of distance while you can feel lonely between the people.

6/12/2020 : due to the Covid situation I don't want to go out, it scares me pretty much. I spend my days studying, for the university and when I finish I continue my activities.
I'm watching films and I have taken my first book, "The strange case of Dr. Jekyll(hope it's written correctly) and Mr Hyde.
In the future I want to buy 1984 and Animal farm(a book about dictatorship).
For the university I am analyzing Hitler's book, Mein Kampf and its influence on the social phenomenon of nazism.

in the speaking it seems like native speakers are slower, I can comprehend everything they say. However the accent is very relevant.

I still feel very ignorant, I can't express what I think clearly, I have to study more. Be better.



Give me a like if you are curious how things will develop

Ah*********:

1- Make the learning fun.
2-Don’t compare yourself with other learners.
3- Be Patient (Don’t say when I learn the language like a native, make it step by step)
4- Make a suitable method for you, there’re thousands of methods to learn a language choose a fun method.
5-Discipline, you have to practice the language every single day
- Listen at least for 30 minutes.
- Read a novel or a news or anything you are interested in for 30 minutes.
- Speak with yourself or a partner if you have, discuss different topics, or before you go to sleep talk with yourself about what happened in your day.
- Learn 5 new words or sentences and repeat them every day day, use them in your conversations.
Remind yourself about the benefits of learning this language, That will motivate you.
Read this quote out load every day ‘’If some professional in something remember he/she was beginner’’

Ju***************:

Well In my country I learnt french for only five years, when I was still in first grade my school said that they start teaching french in third grade, yet when I moved schools with the same curriculum, they said they start from first grade, so I was a bit behind and took extra classes, and in the end I was like the only person who still remembers what we were taught after I changed schools again but with a different curriculum so they didn’t teach french, I still remember what I was taught I can read what’s written and kind of understand it, yet when I try to speak it, all I can say is basic phrases. This really inspired me to keep on learning it, because even my old french teacher said that I have wonderful pronunciation for my first year of french and even tho I was taking extra classes it seemed that I didn’t even need them anymore.

Welp of to keep watching those french songs and getting half the words.
