Yeah, you're right

I'm from the French-speaking part of Switzerland, and I had to learn German from the end of primary school. I didn't really like this language but didn't hate it either because I was not too bad at it (on the contrary I loved English from the beginning). When I went to university, I chose English but had to choose a second main subject. After eliminating all the things that didn't inspire me I chose German. The level was too hard (regarding the level you have at the end of high school), and so I decided to go to a summer language school for one month. At that time I had been studying German for ten years, but wasn't able to hold a conversation. This month in Germany was like a revelation! I could speak, I met such nice people, and since then German holds a very dear place in my heart. I made my two internships during my Tourism degree in Austria and it was so cool! Being able to understand and speak 3 languages fluently is so awesome and opens to so many amazing things and people, I'm so thankfull for that (even if university was not for me, it has really helped me in this way) ♥

I've found out that for me watching kids cartoos in the language I want to learn helps a lot, because the vocabulary is basic, the accents are aren't crazy and the rythm of the conversation is slower. It also helps a lot to have actual contact with people that speak that language. One of the most helpful methods is to actually go and live in the country where that language is spoken, this way you are kind of forced to learn at least some very basic words like "entrance".

I can give grammar tips. When I was learning German, I accidentally improved my English grammar by translating it backwards and forwards on Duolingo. I used to have sloppy grammar, which my friend's numerous attempts to correct my grammar had gone to waste. It is because I don't really care, until I took an interest in learning a language is when I am more conscious about grammar. Before I don't even know what present perfect is, and I absolutely dreaded tense during my school years. My point is learn a grammar overview around beginning phase and then for intermediate phase you can forget about grammar and focus mostly on input and output, only until beyond intermediate is when refining grammar easier to achieve (for me personally that is).

@@annikab8273 Thanks for the reply. In contrast, I was born in China and came to Australia when I was 8. I remember that I used to absolutely dreaded learning English, because no matter what I did, I will always get it wrong with my essays having loads of red marks and I have given up on tenses because English tense is just so confusing. Back then, my English, l believe, was already at a B2/C1, but I cannot improve my grammar. Currently my German is at an A2. Learning the German grammar through translation has a surprising affect on English, for example German doesn't have the auxiliary verb 'do' so I came to realised that I always make the English mistake such as "I did went to ...." through using Duolingo. And additionally, it became much more clear to me what preposition and conjunction are, e.g "in order to......" vs "um......zu......" and why use whom (also thanks to German's Akk and Dat case) with the help of a text book. Although German grammar is a beast on its own but I believe it's because I am having too little input and output in comparison to English.

You’ve heard it a million times, but I’ll say it once again- you’re truly inspiring! I strive to make content as informative and well-executed as you one day :))

I lost my momentum in studying Japanese since the pandemic started. I was literally experiencing withdrawal every time I attempted to study. It was just very recently that I started studying properly again. I hope I can progress even further this coming year.

This is awesome! I hope everyone who takes the class enjoys it a lot and feels empowered to break free of the common misconceptions of language learning to truly enjoy the process and make some serious headway! Love what you’re doing Nathaniel, keep it up.

Personally, I've never thought about learning languages but looking at your content I'm inspired to give it a shot.

when learning languages it‘s crazy how different each person picks it up! I love that you guys make it flexible☺️ really excited to start the course

so excited for this! especially resonated with what you said about learning a language in school. there is so much that inspired, yet frustrated me with school's structure of that learning process, leading to a push and pull feel towards language learning. the mindset that was pushed upon us only made me more incentivized to break out of it and look for new avenues to learn more effectively. thank you both so much for creating this course. i think the value it will bring to the experience people have learning languages will be tremendous, and it's truly a wonderful gift to us all.

im learning french at the moment, i am practicing my listening by watching your old videos, thanks

What a wonderful video! I can see the passion that you have for language learning. What you are saying is true, traditional methods from the classroom can be extremely frustrating. The key is to really discover your OWN way to learn. Language learning for me has obviously broadened my perspective and I am now addicted to it, but it has also paved the way to my much more confident self...not only when I speak, but also assuring myself that I know how to find and use information to learn topics outside of language learning (this is especially helpful during a time where self study in general, it seems, is inevitably getting more popular). It seems both of you have found the this for yourselves and have learned to constantly adapt your own methods to your needs/learning from your experiences beforehand. Thank you for inspiring others to learn more about the world through languages!

At last - this sounds great. Thanks for doing this to both of you. x

Stumbled across this video, bought the course. I've been studying french for the last 18 months - in-person courses, apps, books etc. Really appreciating the psychology and systems. Excited to crack on with it.

This is so inspirational, I tried to learn Italian before but gave up within a week, I'm going to try again. I've been learning English for 2 years now but haven't made it past b2 level (self-taught) I first used this book called "Inglés básico A. ghio. d" it really helped and of course KZread videos. So if you want to learn English that book might help. Just from my point of view when you learn a new language by yourself at home the hardest part is to find people to practice with, even on apps.

You guys are the best duo that we could have asked for!

your passion got me excited for learning and I can't wait to save up money to buy the course!

Really, it's fantastic what both of you are doing

Your videos are great. Thanks! I learnt french being thrown in the deep end in a Swiss public school and for three months was overwhelmed. When you only know english learning a Latin-based language it is really rough with all the verb tenses. I advocate throwing yourself without fear of making mistakes and working really hard at grammar and mixing with local at eye chance you get. I also am an advocate rote learning verb tenses by repetition and memorizing poems which helped me in french. It is a mark of respect to master the language of each country you live in.

Your videos always inspire me in my journey of living life more deeply and meaningful after loosing my mom last year. This month, I started trying to learn Japanese.

I really enjoyed learning English in school! And thought it was fairly effective, all things considered, taking into account that I was able to communicate in it after a few years of such lessons. Same for French.

I am going to live in Italy for 2 years starting next summer. Thinking of getting this course to get a headstart!

I'm really in love with swedish language and culture so I've been learning it during this pandemic. I also decided to start learning some french recently. Try to express myself is the most challenging part but your content has truly inspired me to improve! Saludos desde Chile :)

Great video! I loved going to school in France just over the border from Geneva back in the mid-80’s. Immersion is the way to go! Arrive in September and be fluent by the holidays by making sure you stay away from all the other English speakers and only hang with the locals. Worked for me and I then ended up majoring in French! I later studied Persian-Farsi with Iranian teachers at the Defense Language Institute, but French served me well, especially after working for years for a Canadian company in Québec.

Sadly i've been out of work most of this year like many people and cant afford the course atm but will definitely look into it in the future

I was thinking of learning japanese and now nathaniel is here with a tutorial on how to learn foreign languages. Damn, this was so helpful! (Also can you read minds and such?)

This is so exciting!!!!

I found the same thing in Italy, super welcoming and expressive - I'm a big personality so always felt at home there I also had enough of the language to pass. Made friends very easily was always invited places for anything from festivals to family trips.

Right now i am trying to learn italian, it is a bit hard but i will stick with it!

I guess I'm glad you guys wanna share your interest for language learning with communities which are probably not made up of language learning enthusiasts (and that might decide to start delving a bit more into this really huge but still interesting topic). At the same time though, with awesome free resources like the Immerse with Migaku channel and the Refold website by Matt vs Japan, which both provide invaluable information and really go in depth in what language learning is really about, providing also great advice about how to go in order to apply the theoretical info they provide, I honestly would tell you guys reading these comments to not buy this course. If you can get such great stuff for free, why spending money?
