I agree with you so much with the 'study *IN* your target language' section. One of the best pieces of advice from back in my IB Spanish days was to use a monolingual dictionary, even if you still have to use a translation dictionary occasionally. And I was so grateful that my Spanish teacher taught the class 100% in Spanish. (I had the same teacher 10th-12th grade.) I learned all of my advanced grammar points in Spanish, to the point where I didn't know the English names for some grammatical features. As I relied less and less on English, I felt my Spanish improve faster and faster.

@@shinzo5744 It's probably not something you'd do as an early beginner, but over time as you acquire more words the target language definitions will start to make sense. But even as a beginner I wouldn't recommend going immediately to the bilingual dictionary. Try searching for the word in Google Images in that language or Wikipedia article in that language. The great thing about not relying on your native language is that it trains your brain to get meaning from something even if you don't understand every single word. Of course, if you try these and you still are confused, absolutely go to a bilingual dictionary or translator.

@@aafrophonee I dont mine not knowing 100% meaning of a sentence, phrase or even a whole page of text. Why beat yourself up with uncommon words you might not even see, hear or speak for months or even years. I don't mine forgetting words in foreign languages. That means they are not used frequently in my opinion.

I think an important tip is don't just burn through words as fast as possible, without thinking much. Pay attention to etymology and history, as well as related words. Words don't appear randomly, they have roots and origins. For example, I have never studied French, but I assumed Penser was to think because it looks like a verb in Spanish with the er ending, and I know the English word "pensive" which I assume shares the root with Penser. Another well known story is the Japanese word for buffet is バイキング (Viking), which seems really random until you learn that it refers to the Scandinavian smörgåsbord, as in a Viking style meal.

You're so correct about learning words in context! I took both French and Spanish in school in the USA where we had to memorize lists of new words every week. I didn't learn the language that way and in fact never wanted to go near a foreign language ever again. That is until I relocated to Europe. I began learning my first language in context and it went so quickly! I was amazed. I've since learned 4 additional languages, all in context. So listen to this woman. She knows what she's talking about!

Repeating it aloud helps a lot! Put that acting into it. ^^ 2:29 - 3:26 LingoPie! *Master interactive subtitles website* 3:27 - 4:59 *study IN your target language:* prioritize storing the TL text/word in your brain as it is, detach yourself from translating it into your NL. 5:00 - 6:25 *output, ASAP:* Repeat the words/sentence aloud; create simple kid-like sentences with those words. 6:26 - 7:38 *switch to ACTIVE recall:* Recall in TL, instead of NT. Use the voc/sentences you already have to create new ones. Simple daily stuff or make it up. 7:39 - 8:16 look at my new cat Garbanzo. *Meow!*

Great advice! I make a list of all my passive vocabulary for each language and every now and then go down the list to see what I remember. When the words become active I move them to another list.

I am definitely a "see it and hear it" person. When coming across new words, especially in conversation, I always ask if they can write the word or phrase down and say it again. I just remember it better that way. I think it also helps me to hear how it's naturally said VS how it sounds on the computer VS how the teacher pronounces it.

Studying words in context... I'm agree with you. Before I didn't can learn words easily, but now when i ready a book, I can memorizing words in context.

As a Taiwanese who is picking up English, I feel like not doing translations into my native languages is kinda helpful for being able to truly understand the sentence that I’m learning cuz the word order of the language differ from country to country so I just tend to comprehend the meaning of the sentence instead of reordering the structure of it cuz it’s unnecessary to do a proper, perfect translation unless you’re a interpreter or what. On the other hand, since stop sticking to memorize the translation, it actually highly boosts my spoken English as I have a deeper and more thorough awareness of the vocab itself instead of just memorizing the words literally. Because I have started learning English by memorizing the chunks of the words and the definition as well, most importantly I get rid of learning vocab individually, I can feel I’m getting more familiar with English.

When I moved to NL in the 90s I found myself with limited channels on my TV but would watch the few anglophone shows as a relief. In NL they don't overdub so if in english, thee are subtitles. It was noticing the recurring patterns and their potential usage with a change in tone of voice for social interaction that gave me what I call "icebreaker Dutch" where I could at least make a strong effort in using Dutch before it all eventually reverted to english. It helped me "internalise" the words. A great tip that works.

Also, one of my favorite things personally. Once you get to a high enough level where you can read fairly well, like every word isn't new to you, or whenever you feel comfortable, really, start reading Wikipedia articles. I actually did it cold turkey with Polish once knowing barley any and it honestly went pretty well. More frustrating than having a solid foundation, but not bad. From the beginning start writing down/making quizlets and learning the words that you don't know, go over them until you can read that part of the article and none of the words seem foreign. Pick them apart, look at the prefixes and suffixes and such in the context they're used in in the words. Maybe write a summary of that part without looking at the article using some of the words you just learned. You'll start seeing less and less words you don't know as you go, and since they're on one topic, you'll see the same words used in different contexts and in different forms in a natural way. If you read an entire article, especially a long one, take your time, like literally maybe days focusing on learning the words in it, you will go back at the end and be able to reread it pretty fluently and go "Wow, I didn't know this word a week ago? I feel like I've seen it 100 times" and you're not likely to forget it. Wikis will also use words that are not going to be in a normal conversation, but can still be useful to know. Especially if you're studying in another country/want to study in another country, reading things in a "academic" format will help you. You can also go down a rabbithole with this, once you're done with one article, go to a similar one that will have some of the same words, learn the few words that are new, and keep moving through related articles like that, and its actually amazing when you get to a topic barley related to your original one and you can understand a lot of it. Now this isn't going to take like two days or something, that will never happen learning a language, but depending on your ability to learn languages and the difficulty of the language from your native language, you'll be amazed at how effective this can be.

Well, learn primarily by that method but actually try to occasionally incorporate different methods as well. I'm a text-based learner in general, and translations and definitions are the best ways for me to remember vocabulary, contrary to visual learning, but I occasionally try to visualize a concept or two. And translation in general works best for me for remembering both vocabulary and information, it was even a technique I did for preparing for my exams (I'm a linguistics and foreign languages major) - if there was a key point I couldn't remember I translated it into English in my head, or into another language

One thing I have found helpful is to look up words in a monolingual dictionary of your target language. Of course, you will often find other words in the definition that you f don’t know so you look them up and if you still can’t understand then as a last resort. I have several but one that I don’t have with me now also has an example of how each word is used in a sentence. That is very helpful. Sometimes the names of certain things like names of plants you might need pictures to fully understand exactly what it is. You might not know what it is with just a definition.

Imagine a minha felicidade quando eu descobri meses atrás que aprender vocabulário não era simplesmente pegar uma palavra aleatória, decorar e nunca mais esquecer, lol. Sempre quis aprender outra língua mas por muito e muito tempo eu achava que era simplesmente fazer isso, e no fundo era algo chato demais, por isso sempre desistia dias depois. Vocabulário é a base de tudo, acho que saber como estudar isso da forma mais eficiente possível é a coisa número um mais importante pra aprender um idioma c: Eu uso um método que é basicamente pegar algum texto que me interesse, daí vou lendo e colocando a palavra que desconheço num dicionário conforme leio (Aliás, oq seria de mim se você não tivesse me apresentado Linguee), e depois traduzo a frase inteira ou só um pedaço dela que não entendi muito bem (NÃO com Google tradutor, é outro 😂) e então vou dissecando o texto e tentando ou pesquisando alguma nuance que ainda não entendi totalmente. É algo bem lento realmente, dizem que entender totalmente o texto de uma só vez não é algo necessário, que seria mais importante se expôr à mais palavras desconhecidas do que ficar se prendendo à uma frase só, mas ao menos pra mim sinto que é bem eficiente. Além de que sempre dá pra ajustar isso pra: tentar entender TUDO, inclusive a gramática da sentença, ou apenas tentar entender só as palavras que desconheço.

Essa técnica é muito boa, ainda mais se você estudar a estrutura gramatical junto. Se sua língua escolhida for o inglês te recomendo a extensão Wordology, você basicamente vai add as palavras que você já sabe, e tem a chance de pesquisar as que não sabe, ele vai salvar as que você já colocou em verde, as que não salvou em vermelho e as que precisam ser melhoradas em azul, então quanto mais você usa mais você vai ver os sites com textos todos verdes, daí você vai ter mais noção de como seu vocabulário está.

Hi Elysse, nice tips! :) Maybe you meant "A quoi tu penses ?" or "Qu'est-ce que tu en penses ?" (Qu'est-ce que tu penses de ...)? I think it'd be also a good thing if you used "dissimuler" in a sentence, as you explained at the beginning, cause there's a lot of contexts where "cacher" and "dissimuler" are not interchangeable... For example "Je me suis bien caché !". Oh, also, a friend recommended "Youglish" to me, instead of Forvo that I use a lot - or as a complement for it - and it's really sweet because words appear in context and in real speech ^^ Cheers!

It is interesting, as a translator, I have always found translating into the other language (English) easier than into my native language. English exists in my head in a much more structured way - particularly when it comes to word usage like finding synonyms quickly. I can give you 10 synonyms for a word "beautiful", for example, in English immediately, but I would be a lot slower and vague listing them in my native language - not even sure I would come up with that many (and that does not mean they do not exist). Perhaps, this has got something to do with a more functional and "to-the-point" nature of English language. In my native language, it feels like the translation is never good enough and could be better or just different - there is this never-ending doubt. In English, everything is much more straightforward - I feel confident about the accuracy of my meaning and the choice of words. I also have a clearer sense of how they are going to be perceived by the listener/ reader. 🤔

Very helpfull, thanks.
