    (Raised as a polyglot before age 18) 1:38. Relax and allow yourself to make mistakes - seek out the feeling of doing something ""wrong"" (i.e. not sounding like your native tongue). 4:37. Scrap the foreign alphabet (suggests using phonemes from your native language) 8:32. Find a stickler - who doesn't let your mistakes slide but also encourages you 9:21. Do shower conversations - actively talk to yourself in the new language. 11:18.

    He speaks indeed English pretty well, but I'm also Brazilian and I could notice his Brazilian accent really quick in the first minutes of the video. Still, his accent is "better" than most Brazilians I've heard before (just to make it clear: there's nothing wrong about having an accent if you pronounce it good enough for people to understand you).

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

    As well as I understand, most of them have learned two or three languages in early childhood which has made learning new ones much easier. So I do not mean they have not had to do anything themselves! Give your children at least two languages from the beginning if at all possible and you give them a head start!

    Scottico Who is making excuses? :O If you have two (or more) languages in your family, PLEASE speak both of them to your children! Many speakers of minority languages, especially endangered ones, think their language is inferior and of no use to their children, so they speak only the majority language to them. But bilingualism is an advantage as such - if the child forgets one of the languages later (of course I hope not!), the brain has benefited anyway, because it seems early bilingualism moulds the brain permanently. And it is great if some endangered languages are kept alive in the process!!! In my opinion linguistic diversity is as important for the human culture as biodiversity is for the nature. I admire people who keep their mother tongues alive, and people who want to learn small and endangered languages, in addition to bigger and more "useful" ones.

    It's the natural first stage of acquiring and remembering the strange sound. 'who oh' allowed me to interpret pinyin huo. chun for example is not ch un; but chew won. So yes it's exactly what you need to aid pronunciation. Grammar is grammar a wholly different realm which you then acquire through practice and mistakes. As for reading and writing - they are a different skillset, requiring painstaking work - generally less necessary to ones needs. There are plenty of illiterate Chinese. Why crit an expert trying to help? 你说过了这是你的第一次方法;搜易为什么你想抱怨

    Peter Müller That’s someone who you know and trust enough to tell you when you make a mistake. Someone who helps you get better, without the fear of hurting your feelings. Normaly we are far to polite to correct anyone when they make a mistake. A stickler will tell you, not to make you feel bad, but to help you in your path to master the language or any other study you’re doing.

    Knowing so many radically different languages is indeed more impressive than the performance of this guy in the video. Basically, you deserve as much nice words as we see in the comments. I learned a large number of languages... not to the level of being fluent but still speaking with the accent of the professional linguists who created the "learn x language in 30 days" or the "assimil" series of language lessons. Quite often, Chinese people started to talk to me at normal speed, convinced by my prononciation that i could understand everything. I hope you keep learning even if you may encounter indifferent or even negative reaction.

  • @SpoodleProductions

    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.

    5 techniques to speak any language: 1. Make mistakes and just relax. 2. Scrap a foreign alphabet. 3. Find a sticklers (teacher, friend, stranger from internet...) - some one who will correct you, but in the same time will encourage you to get things wrong. 4. Do shower conversations. Visualize situations where you will use your new language and try to use it for find gap in your knowledge. 5. Your target language should be your best language in common. Find a friend to practice your language.

    Hello fellow language learners! There is a great app out there: HelloTalk that links you with native speakers of the language you want to learn. For instance: you want to learn Dutch and you are a native German. You get in contact with a native Dutch speaker (from Holland or some parts of Belgium) that corrects your messages, in return you correct some of his messages and sentences that he wrote in German. It's definitely worth trying. Myself I'm learning Spanish and 'teaching' Dutch in return. Mucha suerte! Good luck!

    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...

    Elit egitim diye bir set var, onunla türkce ögrenebilirsin. There is a tutorial thats called "Elit Egitim" which you can learn (Turkish). Turkish language comes from Ural-Altaic language family and turkish is from the Altaic part. the languages in this part are: turkish, japanese, mongolian, korean. If you would come from one these countries, you could learn easily and even if you would come from Ural part such as finnish, hungarian or estonien, you could also learn a bit easier. So it will bw tough for you but you can make it. My swiss wife is learning turkish and she is quite good and her level is around B1. I heard that many people learn turkish by watching turkish serial or TV.. Unfortunately turks do not publish so much video tutorial for learning turkish or podcast for foreigns.. I dont know why but it will be difficult for you to find some basic sources.. hope it helps..

Also, pick something that you truly desire to learn (I think this was mentioned in the video). Do not just pick a language for marketability, else you will come to hate (hah) the experience of learning it.

Once you speak four languages, any additional language will be *much* easier to learn than it would have been otherwise. Sid is no special talent; he was lucky to have been given the opportunity to grow up in a multilingual environment and he should thank his parents for this wonderful gift.

    That's partially true, but the thing is he went beyond that. I'm Catalan and in Catalonia we have two native languages (Catalan and Spanish) and we start learning English when we are 4 more or less, but that doesn't mean we are all good or fluent in English when we grow up, you have to put some effort in that, same happens with other languages that came from Latin, it might be a bit easier since we already speak two languages that came from the same one BUT that doesn't mean learning Italian or French is easy. What I'm saying is that you have to work hard for it anyway.

    Geogina: Neural and behavioral research studies show that exposure to more than one language in the first year of life influences the brain’s neural circuitry even before infants speak their first words. Learning a second language and speaking it regularly can also improve your cognitive skills and even delay the onset of dementia, according to researchers who compared bilingual individuals with people who spoke only one language. Yes, you definitely have to do some work too, but do you see what I mean? The brains of bilingual (trilingual ...) people are "wired" differently which makes it much easier for them to acquire additional languages, and the more languages they learn as babies, the easier it gets.

    Anima Libera as I said that’s obvious, but only a part of it. Don’t take away all the credit from his work just because he was lucky to be born in a home with more than one lenguaje. I’m well aware of the studies regarding bilingualism, as a Catalan we have to keep defending our language from the Spanish government and that’s a really good thing to point out while defending our language. But at the same time, since I life in a bilingual reality I know how hard is it to some people to learn other languages even if you already know two lenguajes, so evidently there’s part of luck to have his ability to learn lenguajes, also the luck of being born in a bilingual home, but there’s ALWAYS work needed and I don’t think it’s right to take that away from him; or to discourage people with just one native language with your comment, that’s what I was trying to express.

    Geogina: I'm not taking anything away from anyone. All I'm saying is that it's not the same thing to be born into a family with four languages or only one. Someone who grows up with just one language will have a pretty hard time learning seven more whereas when you already have four to start with it's fairly easy because those four you DIDN'T have to work for. There is no need to discuss this any further. I already said that I realize that there is work involved (I speak five languages, so trust me, I know what I'm talking about).

    Billy Smith: The good news is that with the knowledge of Spanish that you acquired in school, learning Romanian is going to be much easier than if you had to start from scratch (the two languages are very similar). Even if you hated it back then, some of what you learned is still "buried" somewhere in your brain and it will come back up as your Romanian improves. We're all different so its difficult to give advice, however, the best way to learn a language, which probably works for everyone, is to live in the country or find a two-legged (long-haired) dictionary. Personally, I find that watching videos in the language I want to learn helps me more than reading books or even working with an instructor. Most of us remember lively video images better than textbook lessons or still pictures. Many KZread videos have subtitles, which can be very helpful. If you can afford it, go to Romania as often as possible. The longer you stay, the more you learn.

    While I can agree that he makes some great points (the buddy formula is great training), he's disregarding quite a few problems. A lot of sounds are language specific and not reproducable by stringing together familiar sounds. There is no equivalent to /θ/ (English "th") in German (unless you have a lisp), you'll be hard-pressed to find /ħ/ in most languages other than in, for example, Semitic ones, and there's a reason why Koreans would struggle with an Italian word like _farfalle_. Also, while I understand that it can be helpful to disregard foreign alphabets, especially ones that are arguably more complex, like Kanji (Sino-Japanese signs that often have, other than Chinese Hanzi, half a dozen ways to pronounce 'em, hence the enormous learning curve even for natives) , you put yourself at a disadvantage by basically becoming an illiterate, unable to navigate a subway, just because you don't know the difference between 入 and 出. Speaking is fantastic (and the best start), but not being able to decipher what flavor your noodle stew has is bad. :D Generally speaking though, he's giving some very decent advice, and I can't argue too much with his quite impressive abilities. ^_^

    Oh, and also, about the whole stickler thing, yes, that's a good way to go about it, *however*, always keep in mind that native speakers *do not* know everything about their own language. I can't tell you how often I've seen Americans/Brits write "I would of done that.", or how often Germans themselves never realize that they pronounce "w" with a "v" sound and "v" with an "f" sound ("Wasser" vs "Vase" & "Verboten" vs "Fehler").

    Yeah, I understand that pronounciation is primary but I prefer just using International Phonetic Alphabet.

    Skalderful D Spanish is not that hard to get right, I once had a friend who had a perfect Castilian pronunciation and accent despite knowing nearly nothing of it

    +Skalderful D No his Spanish is not perfect. He made two mistakes. He should've said : "Sino" instead of "Pero", and "tengamos" instead of "tenemos"😐
