I agree as well. Especially if you're a good listener. I hear Turkish in my head in the mornings just from watching Turkish dramas at night 😁. I have the English subtitles on and I often spot translation mistakes. I have a long long way to go but it's enjoyable. There are other helpful things like listening to the rhythm and flow. Also watching someone's mouth. I'm dyslexic but listening works well for me. It helps with my memory issues as well.

How do you read if you are trying to learn Korean or Japanese

I learned German by watching TV series and cartoons on German TV channels when I was a kid. I had no previous knowledge of German language, I just watched and eventually I started to understand. And even though I eventually stopped watching those TV channels and never spoke it myself, I can still understand it after all these years, without any issues. It's weird how human brain works.

@@trunchqin4292 Bless your heart. No I mean the guy learns as much of the language as he possibly can and will practice by talking to strangers who speak the native language he is learning. I think it helps because he is a language teacher himself. Everyone learns differently. I myself find it easier to learn when I watch and listen. You may learn in a completely different way which suits your natural way of learning, memory and how you retain information. There is no wrong or right way just different ways that's all. I'm interested in how you prefer to learn a language and what advice will you share to help others? Its interesting to know and maybe helpful.

I'd say you are wrong underestimating the importance of listening. For me the purpose of listening is not to learn new words, but learn verbal expressions, including modern ones, understand speech at the hearing, including rapid speech, and get used to understand different accents. Yes listening should not be the only one way of learning English, but in my experience it's the key way to work out a real English. Surely it's advisable to start listening only having a basic grammar knowledge (basic means no need to stuck at this) and considerable vocabulary. Besides when I watch something I prefer English subtitles. I guess having a lot of conversations in English in addition to listening would be a more effective way than just listening, but usually it's hard to have a lot of conversations if you don't live in a suitable environment. I was managed to greatly improve my conversational English by just listening a lot. I can say so because I recently started taking a job interviews in English and I'd say it goes better than I expected (for example I recently had an about 2 hours conversation with a 2 native speakers).

The best way to learn is to read books. Because when you read you revise words you know. It really helps

Listening, speaking, reading and writing should all go simultaneously. But in my opinion, what really accelerates the learning process of any a language is your ability to speak that language. So, the more you speak a language, the more fluent you'll become in it.

I've been watching hundreds of engVid lessons for a year and I feel this lesson is one of the best lessons for me. I've been using passive methods most of the time so I felt frustrated because of my slow improvement. This video gave me a genuine lesson today.

All I know is that living in a country is the best way to learn a language. I'm Polish and I live in Italy since 2011. I was trying to learn English by simply learning words and grammar and I thought it was enough... Well then I went to London and I understood that that wasn't actually enough so I started watching and watching and watching videos in English and now as you can see I'm here writing this comment by myself, without any dictionary or translator, so I can say that listening is a good exercise only if you learn new words at the same time, and you can also improve your pronunciation, like I actually did...

Hi I'm sorry but, I disagree with you in my humble opinion, learning a language by listening is very useful, I've learned a lot by listening to the podcast on my smartphone. Of course you're right if you want to be able to speak it's important to be active speaking and writing. For instance: without listening I couldn't understand what you have said in this video, this is the reason why LISTENING is the most important skill if you want to be fluent and learn a second language.

I believe that what she meant was that one can't learn by listening only. Of course it's incredibly important, but it can't be the only thing we do and probably shouldn't be the first thing we do. When you listen to podcasts you probably understand parts if not most of what is said. That being said, I believe that watching a video with subtitles in the same language can be useful even for people who have just begun learning - they are learning to recognise sounds the words they see.

I think it's important to do everything when you are learning a new language, for example listening, speaking, writing, reading, but in my opinion Listening is more important because you have to increase your level of comprehension if you want to be able to understand what people are saying. I started to learn English in a course 9 years ago, and honestly after the course even though I was one of the best students, I was disappointed about my level of English skills, specially for comprehension, but 17 months ago I decided to learn English on my own by listening to the podcast, watching videos on KZread, writing on whatssap and speaking on Skype with native English people. finally with this method I can see my improvement, obviously my English is not perfect, but it's better then before.

Your lesson is completely useful for me to recognize my misunderstanding. I had thought that " Great ! I will listen as much as I can to quickly improve my English !". As a result, I didn't expand my English as my expectation. Thank you so much.

When I was learning English everyone advised me to read books and watch movies and that if I don't understand something just try and figure it out on my own. But this just didn't work. I had a slight idea of what a particular word could mean but most of the time I was wrong. After checking those words in a dictionary the meaning of a whole sentence changed. I misunderstood the sentences and at the end I was completely frustrated because the text that I was reading didn't make any sense. This approach may work with simple words for e.g. when someone talks about an apple and you see the fruit in their hands then you may be able to connect the word to the item. But with words that are not that simple like "superstitious" there's no way to find out the meaning without any help. At least for me.. :)

I think the most important thing is to learn words and phrases. I use Anki for that. It's a really helpful software. And as it was mentioned in the video speaking and writing are helpful as well.

Thank you Jade, you are always so persuasive. Your advice is valuable and indeed there can be no learning without active participation. Go on all we need is your videos!

being active!! I'll remember it. thank you.

In my opinion, this is different for every person. Find where your strenght lies first. If you are an auditory learner, listening would be very helpful while learning a new language. If you are a visual learner for example, try to find cartoons in the language you are trying to learn(they tend to be very visualised). Imitate the sounds and try to find friends to actually communicate(this is very important, because this is the main reason we learn a langauge) with. Try to minimize the participation of your main language as much as possible. Study their culture as well, because it is reflected in the language. I have found the cartoons with subtitles(in the language you' re trying to learn) to be the most efficient way to learn a new langauge. They include lots of mimics, visuals, simple language, cultural elements and whatnot. After a point where you can "feel" the grammar and understand basic conversations you can up your game a bit and watch stuff like series or ted talks etc.

From my experience , I could say that learning a language through listening to songs is a very effective way!. At least , in my case it works great , because you can remember the words better , it's fun, it shows you how to pronounce the sounds and gives you some context for the vocabulary

Thanks jade, for providing a fabulous session on English. This will definitely help us learning English by our own.

Good point. I totally agree with you. Only listening a language that we don't master will not improve dramatically our knowledge of that language. I think that just talking to ourselves works much more than only listening other people speaking!

I've been learning English for 2 years. In my opinion, when we learn a language, we should focus on every single skill like listening, speaking, reading and writing. However, some of my friends tell me that they learned English just by watching TV and playing single player game. In conclusion, no matter how you do to learn a language, it depends on your constancy and your determonation.

It's possible, children learn like this indeed, but you need to listening a lot of understandable English input, at least over 90% . And go on step by step.., In fact I'm doing it, and I'm able to understand normal conversations and I began to learn 8 months before by myself and mostly with several listening methods, without studying grammar or tradicional English methods , and not forcing speak either. Listening a lot, sometimes reading and being quiet: this is the key to learning by listening. On time, I'm sure that I'll be able to speak naturally and spontaneously.

You are completely right! Thank you for the tips!

I actually learnt English just by Video Games (subtitles in my native language). At some point then I started watching series with subtitles and then I slowly started without subtitles, which was hard at first, especially if there were characters speaking accents differing a lot from American English. I also got in touch with some Brits and started reading books. The thing is though, I never really had vocabulary problems, since I knew French and German before, and English doesn't have lots of words that it doesn't share with either French or German. My spoken English is still pretty shitty, since I barely have any practice on that part.My English is certainly not the best, but I think it would be decent enough for everyday life.

Thanks Jade, I think you have a good point. This reminds me to always combine several methods when learning a language.

I really admire anyone who speaks multiple languages. I've been learning Spanish for a while (no es fácil) and I'm hoping to become fluent at some point.

I can fully relate to what you’ ve said. I really believe that listening alone is not an effective way of learning . Being active while you learn is absolutely important at any stage of the learning process . I used to approach the listening 👂 method it has halped me but not to the extent that I wanted .

No because reading the english subtitles takes your brain away from the Japanese being spoken. listening really helps but it has to be active listening, which means your undivided attention needs to be focused on the language being spoken.

I completely agree! It's impossible to learn a language JUST by listening. However, listening is a prerequisite if an individual wants to learn how to speak any language. This is the same way we learned how to speak our native language when we were toddlers - we listened to the people around us.

Good point made! In my opinion, this is a very common mistake made most of the people after leaving school. It really slows down the learning and if no effort is made, it is likely that the standard will remain constant forever.

Learning a foreign language is a life-time long process. It's my own personal experience too. I've worked as a professional translator over 20 years... I still learn new words and expressions every each day. -- Listening and Reading are passive process, i.e., taking in information from outside. - Speaking and Writing are active process in that we create new information and share it with others. I believe I can make a good speaker only when I learn and practice speaking "consciously and intensionaly." And I can be a good writer only by practicing writing.

Is it weird that English is my second language, but I have no memory of learning to speak it. I consider myself a pretty good speaker of said language, but I don't remember being taught anything. When I got to my teenage years and actually started having English classes, I was already a fluent speaker and knowing most of the grammar without even paying attention to what I was saying. I am currently trying to learn to speak both German and French (French is my #1 priority, but German is easier) and I can't help but think it's going so incredibly slow. French classes for 4 years now and German for 3 years... I can have a conversation in German (albeit a really easy one) but French man...

You should look up "Input hypothesis" and "language acquisition"

It's a very good way to perfect a language, but it should be avoided in the beginning because you will get used to speaking with lots of mistakes which can be hard to correct later on, therefore you should focus on input in the beginning.

gotta memorize the words before even speaking it tho

Definitely you can learn a language by just listening provided you are listening the level of english you already know.

I'm doing a research about this aspect of learning a foreign language, and I saved your video to show it lately! It is really useful. Thanks :)

iH , would you like to practice english with me I need to Improve my engilsh

This is correct, I have been listening and watching many movies, even reading a lot of articles, but still my english level in medium. I'm trying these days to push myself more, and this video gave me good tips.

The key with listening is comprehensible input, being able to understand at least 80-90%

Anyway, listening is the most fundemantal part when it comes to communication with native speakers of it

I think its speaking.

Awesome video, Jade! Thanks for the tips!

Thank you, Jade) I'm so happy what I have you in my life!!!!

The best way to learn a language when you go to another country is to get a girlfriend or a boyfriend. This will get you up to speed to the point where you can then start the academic approach of reading, writing, etc. The Michel Thomas method taught me German in 20 days before I moved to Germany although that method uses English as a base language but it's entirely based on listening. Thank you Jade!

i like both !

You are very smart. Your insight and explanations make a lot of sense. Thank you. I believe you saved me time and frustration.

Thanks, now I know, that I learned english absolutely wrong. You helped me understand that I need more practice. I should try to develope my writing and speaking skills. Not only listening. Your advices are always very helpful. You inspired me.

if listening not useful, what do we do with you, you should quit your online lessons

I dont agree with this opinion. As a European you can learn most of the European languages by listening first(mostly being in the country of this language for a certain period of time - the longer the better). I've learned English and French this way. If the language does not belong to your language group like Japanese or Chines, it is of course another story. Also, this is a highly individual undertaking, some students learn better by ear, others by reading and so on. Thus, your generalising the issue, is not professional.

+Meinung Abundance She doesn't generalise it. She advices people to practice reading and writing now and then alongside listening. Although some people learn remarkably better by listening and speaking they ALSO need to read and write now and then to increase their vocabulary and build sentences in the language.

Przecież powiedziała dokładnie, że tyczy się to języka który nie jest podobny. znając język Polski nauczysz się słuchając Rosyjskiego Ale Węgierskiego możesz słuchać kilka lat i nic z tego nie wyniesiesz.

Hi Jade, Your videos are a great resource - well done! It is wonderful being able to send my students extra materials and, in this case, have you repeat what I have told them many times before. Keep up the excellent work.

This is top vid, teacher. This is probs one of your best vids I've ever seen since found out your channel. Wish you the best Pretty Jade ♥

Woa. After your talk there are a lot of comments. that's a good idea to learn English by active way. Thanks so much.Now i have one more tips

Thx for the helpful advice :) I was watching some videos spoken in British to improve my listening skill then found this video. I did enjoy your video . I just subscribed your channel

Hi Jade, this is my first comment on KZread ever :-D I have to give You a big THANKS for what you are doing. I believe, You have helped to many people to start learning English more effectively. Don´t stop, we need You!

I‘ve been listening English Radio for about 1 year and I still didn't feel my listening comprehension make any progress. So I decided to not do it and write down what I thought, your videos is really helpful, it leads me to speak more like British,my friends said so to me, haha. I was pleased to watch your video and find some ways to be Master in English, thanks, anyway. This is my first to write a comment by the way.

Great video, thank you!!!

That's very helpful and encouraging, thank you Jade

Watch watch, listen listen... yes I was really wrong. And the method I adopt for learning was really a frustrating process. " Be active" yes. Thank you for the most valuable advice.

Thank you! I am inspired by your advice.

Thank you Jade, so much! I hope learn english, It has been really dificult to me, but I love this idiom, your videos are very helpfull, thak you again! My best regards from Venezuela

It is absolutely right, I have been in Turkey for 1 year and I had the same Idea of learning the Turkish language by just listening but I figure out that this a life long project.

Whatever you explained in this video, i can relate it to my leaning journey... I realised it's not possible to speak english by only watching and listening.. You should be active throughout your learning journey... Thanks. Subscribed ♥️

I think you're very correct Jade. By only listening we can not learn a language which we are not similar to; We also have to write and most importantly we should speak in that language. It's one of the better ways to get improved. :) By the way thank you so much for this great lesson.

you are completely right, I wasted so much time watching tv series to learn Chinese, but a turning point came in when i switched back to watching it, but i made sure, i understood every single sentence using google translate or with friends help so that i can make most out of it, that i what i did when i was learning English, and it was complete success

hi jade I thing listening is very important to learn english but it is not enough reading and writing and speaking is very important to learn english and we must practice alot

Thank you for great advice ;-) I'm Polish and learning English. When I can I try to turn on English subtitles instead of Polish when watching something. I've also heard that repeating what actors in a movie said can also be helpful, I must try it.

Jade, I totally agree. When learners ACTIVELY produce new language by speaking and writing they test what they think they have learnt from reading and listening. They drive the process forward and speed it up.

I totally agree with you! Excellent video!

The way of learning english that worked pretty much for me is watching english-language stuff (videos, series, etc) with english (not my native language, english) subtitles. It made me able to perceive what people saying in english pretty quick, and that is the most valuble skill you can get (it depends on the goal of learning language, of course, but still). And this skill makes it much easier to develop other ones - it only takes practice. Writing down unknown words for vocabulary, imitating pronunciation for, well, pronunciation. It even made reading books a lot, lot easier for me (I was struggled with it so much when I just started learning). So if you're not sure where should you start with, I would start there - just watch your favorite movies (series, youtubers, whatsoever), but on the language you learnign with subtitles on the same language, it will make a lot of good for u when it's almost efortless. It is much more better than learning by heart dozens of grammar rules and stuff. My english ain't perfect, of course, but it works for purposes i need and yeah tl;dr watch movies with english subs it works.

Thanks for ur guide a lot, I will be able to improve my E on my own.

Very good advice in this video! Thanks!
