5 techniques to learn ANY language

I paraphrase...

1. EXPLORE THE LANGUAGE - try new words don't worry about getting it wrong or right. Immediately the more words your exposed to the more experience you will gain.

2. PHONETIC LANGUAGE - scrap the foreign alphabet (you don't understand its sounds) in favour of a domestic alphabet (English that you do understand sounds). Immediately removes a layer of mis-information

3. USE CORRECTIONS - using honest accurate feedback to correct your speaking/spelling/understanding of a new language.  Immediately enforce minimum standards so you don't waste time learning the wrong sounds/grammar/etc

4. PRACTICE BY YOURSELF - using imaginary scenarios have new conversations to stretch yourself beyond the class content.  Immediately you practice the better you get, you also expand the potential experience envelope by considering new scenarios

5. PRACTICE WITH OTHERS - use a buddy for conversation. Use a buddy who only has the target language in common with you. Immediately you will be forced to speak in the target language forcing you to get better "if you are to be understood". Both will be motivated if you only have one language in common.

Makes sense...

ey******:

my steps are just:
1. learn the alphabet (except for mandarin and its dialects because mandarin is a rebel).
2. learn phrases. don't just cram new words into your head.
3. break down the words and see how a sentence is structured. then make your own sentences.

EDIT: by sentence structure I mean like Subject, Verb, Object kind of thing.

Shower conversations, yes! I always used to have deep talks with myself when I was learning English. Good to know that I wasn't alone, haha

Av******:

How to speak any language:
1) Learn the language
2) Speak

Ja******:

Is this a permanent record of the happiest person in the world?

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

Brazilian Portuguese is wonderful! You all should try this beautiful language!

Ch********:

I came across your TEDx talk in my process of preparing one, and found it fascinatingly similar to the ideas I have with the Chinese language, fundamental principles, including 1) visualization, 2) contextualization, 3) meaningful repetition, 4) mental association.

me**********:

Oh my god, this man is extremely wonderful, I wanna be like him in the confidence.

vi***********:

My 3 year old cousin sister can speak 4 languages and I'm proud of her.

Me*******:

Ti**************:

Step 1


Change your games' language

Lu*************:

I'm from South Africa and I speak Xhosa, Zulu, Sotho, Afrikaans, French and I'm, learning Lingala and Swahili

Ni**********:

The smile is glued on his face. It’s good to see people who are very presentable looking.

Na**********:

i can't stop smiling while watching him

ha****:

He reminds me of the snowman in frozen, olaf?

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

This guy is more fluent on my mother language than I am.

us******:

i’m brazilian so i feel like i cheated when he asked me to say the portuguese words out loud

BO**************:

so i m here who want to help me to improve my english skills speaking ...i will be so greatful

Ja*********:

I'm a Canadian learning Japanese! It's going well:) keep practicing!

lm*****:

I speak myself 7 languages, and the main problem about this is that if you don't practice frequently, maintaining your level can be really difficult, in both pronunciation and grammar. You can even mispronounce words in your native tongue when you don't use it a for a while ... without even mentioning the interferences between languages with common roots like spanish and portuguese (I have already met brazilians who started to mix those two languages when they lived in a spanish-speaking country for a while)

please, give the guy a break ;) 

Pe******:

He's eaten the smily emoticon

di********:

Those conversations between you and yourself really expose the lalnguage gaps. They are really useful.

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

Quando ele fala o português é perfeito! obrigada por essa palestra! Incrível

Dy****:

I'm 16 and I can speak 3 languages with native level! My parents are of English and Dutch descent and i was born in Spain and lived there for 10 years. I'm native level in Spanish, English and Dutch. I'm also relatively fluent in Portuguese and Italian! The way I learn languages is to actually enjoy doing it and use the language as much as i can, I speak about 3-4 of them in a day, This video was helpful.

Al****:

Ok, so speaking 7 languages is achieved by already knowing 4 since childhood? Got it.

Ve***********:

I feel like this guy would be a great preschool teacher, he's so happy :)

Si*******:

Really cute how he speaks german with a really strong French accent

Pa************:

Had to Google him (got a feeling that he was Brazilian ).

Li***********:

I always have a problem, when I'm talking to somebody I don't know what to say about any topic or hobby so it becames boring and they don't talk to me anymore

pe*********:

I am a physician, M.D. in Mississippi and would like to share my experience here. I've been in the United States for 25 years but I was born and raised in Bombay, India which I visit every couple of years. Now, India is a multilingual country and Bombay is the most cosmopolitan Indian city where several languages are spoken. Ever since I can remember, I was exposed to 6 languages including English (education though, was exclusively in English with French and the vernacular lingo being an optional subject, and that too starting only in the 5th grade). Besides English (&French) at school and with friends, by the age of 3 or 4 I could also speak Hindi (+read/write), Marathi (+read/write), Telugu and Gujarati fluently. And each of these languages in 2 or 3 different regional dialects. As for Chinese, we had a small ethnic Chinese minority in Bombay who spoke Mandarin Chinese at home (only speak, not read/write) and English and 2 or 3 local Indian languages. I've been away from India for 25 years and living in South Mississippi, hardly ever get to speak the Indian languages and YET, I have not lost my fluency in these. My American friends, co-workers and office staff are amazed at this ability of mine and say "Doc, you're a doctor, you're smart and that's why". If I was indeed so smart I would not have been struggling with Spanish considering that 20% of my patients are Latino and I still sometimes need my office translator to whom I pay $27000 a year!
Bottom line is that as a child, toddler, your brain's capacity to learn things is infinite but as an adult, it's very limited. In Medical School, by the time you've passed your Ist year and successive years, you've forgotten 70% of what you've learned during the previous year. Left me saying to myself, if I could learn and remember 6 languages by the time I was 4 or 5, why not my medical subjects??

Sp****************:

something that's always cool to do is to watch a movie in a foreign language with subtitles so you know what's going on, and then when you rewatch it, forego the subtitles. Then since you already understand what's happening, you can focus on the language. If you're fairly new to the language, you can focus on picking out separate words and sentences and structure, and if you have a basic knowledge of the language, you can pick out phrases you know and use context, along with what you know from seeing it with subtitles, and use that to piece together the gaps in your knowledge to understand the language as they speak it. I've done this a couple times for Spanish, and it was actually pretty helpful for me. I highly recommend the movie La Misma Luna if you're doing this for Spanish, because both English and Spanish are spoken in different parts of the movie.

Li*********:

I really want to learn Vietnamese because I don’t want to look like a disappointment to my family.. but that’s not only the reason i am learning the langugage. I really enjoy learning every new language but its difficult to practise with my mum cuz she‘s very bad at German to explain me how to pronouce etc. That‘s why I‘m trying to practise by myself. :))
I hope you can fulfill your own dream


(Sorry if there is any mistake in my comment.. I‘m still a 13 years old German girl that is practising)
