ただいま50歳。今までの人生で日本語以外の言語（＝英語）習得できませんでした。この歳になりフランス語を習得したいと思っています。しかし成功体験ないので踏み出せない、自信がない‥ そんな時に「外国語を習得するとホテルの部屋がアップグレードされるかも」「自分に関係あるものだけを学ぶ（＝私の場合はグルメと買い物なので観光会話できればOK）」この２つの言葉で頑張ってみようと思えるようになりました。 あと、「助けてー」「道に迷いました」も習得しようと思います。

Well... it was interesting... I think that learning a language is not a ONE way thing and you need to learn a little of this and a little bit of that. I have been teaching for more than 20 years and I got some great results... but there is just a simple fact that people should understand... you need to learn some grammar and understand how the language is structured if you want to learn it. The vocabulary is just a question of being able to remember the words. Then after will also come the way to pronounce... and French is a challenging language! But if you put yourself into it... everything is possible!!!

Every native speaker thinks their language is hard. But how hard it is to learn a language depends how similar it is to your native language. Grammar is so important especially when the language is very dissimilar to yours like I’m learning Czech. You’re right you can miss half the meaning of a sentence of le.g language if you you don’t know how to decline the nouns and pronouns. You can rite learn phrases but depending on the type of learner you are.

Get out more often. There are many excellent quotes to top this one. When the pandemic is done of course.

Thank you a lot! Last phrase was unexpected, because I never saw phrases in TED about Ukrainian, and, because it’s my mother language, I was touched right in the heart ❤️ thanks for such inspired video 🙏🏻 with love from Ukrainian- з любов’ю від українців 🇺🇦

Great lesson. I love this. Thanks.

I'm so glad I watched this video, my previous experience with a TED Talk was more of a product than educational and it's made me wary of clicking on the videos. I'm trying to learn Finnish and while some of these rules are great for languages that are more popular, it's hard to find the resources and media needed to gain experience in that language. I've put a Finnish option on my computer and I follow Finnish tags on social media (namely suomipaskaa lol)but as far as music and video, that's going to be a bit harder to run into. I appreciate the video and your time immensely, it's given me some things to mull over and think about while on my own polyglot adventure. Hyvää päivää!

I’m trying to learn Finnish too! Maybe we could be partners in learning the language?

Besides my mother tongue, I have a degree in English, am fluent in Spanish and am currently learning German. I can also understand Portugese and French. I love languages and I soooooo agree on making the mistakes. I tell it to my students all the time.

great and motivating!!! I am going to start with a new language this same week!

I like him; his voice is relaxing. He speaks without exaggerating his enunciation and pronunciation. I totally agree with Youlden's shortcuts to language learning and the golden rules.

I don't know it's just me who found the audio too low. But, this video has giving me a lot of tips for my knowledge about English!

I don't really have any of those problems he is talking about and I wasn't planning on watching this to the end... I just enjoyed his way of speaking so much :)

Language learning is brain improvement for me , if we know more languages it is mean more perspective we can look, go out to the routine of your life. it is mean also learn another culture and therefore realize your culture more. Thanks for nice videos.

Languajes are my pasión since i was a young Guy., definetly i want to keep improving my french and German and now with thé internet it's easier . Thé key Is practice every day great vídeo full motivation thanks.👏👏

Not really, because for people who want to learn english watching this video is a way of learning.

This really inspired me. I'm a current monolinguest learning Russian,Swedish,Spanish and Portugese. Yes I do realise learning 4 languages at once is a challenge. But I have the freedom to learn it whenever and however I want. At school you're forced to learn a language which you might not be interested in and you go over useless stuff again and again. I have bought a specific notebook for each language and I study for at least 30min a day. It is very satisfying to see how many pages I have done. My motivation? the freedom of when you are fluent. I look at people who are bilingual and see them speak to others, it's amazing. Plus I just love being able to travel the world being able to speak to the locals.

He has a strong accent, and the sound is very low, besides not everyone can listen to this in a quiet, peaceful environment. For example if someone has little children who are yelling a lot, or if someone is in a bus, a lot of passangers chatting around him/her... Guys, have some empathy and understanding!

Very true. My mother who never went to school speaks nine Ghanaian languages and English. I speak seven languages including English and French. My small country Ghana has over 25 different languages because there are so many ethnicities. I learned three languages simply by living next door to native speakers and interacting with them.

A.S. 1 You can if you put in the effort. If you have Alliance Francais in your country, they may run French language courses. Or you can learn online. Use Rosetta Stone app. which is really rich in content. Give it time and practice regularly.

The title is a bit of click bait. It is not about how to learn any language easily, but techniques to make learning more engaging and effective which is not the same thing. As someone involved in languages, I can say that individual aptitude varies greatly and highly influences how much one progresses. Most languages require a considerable commitment to get to an intermediate level of communication.

Great presentation, got a few really good insights. Thanks

Learn the basics then move to the real fun content, there you will experience more unknown grammar rules, learn some, forget others but dont get too stuck on it, keep going. It's bloody hard in the beginning but the content, your fluency and understanding keep getting better, even if you learnt one word a day.

Can you please improve the accuracy of the subtitles? Thank you.

Bende!

It is typical survivorship bias! If I could learn foreign language for a something time, then other people will do it. I have been studying English for 15 years almost every day at least an hour! I learning with different teachers and myself, but I cannot write nothing without translator. For example, this message I can write only with Google translate. With great difficulty and with the help of a translator, I understood this video, thanks to the subtitles. I can understand small part of TED video, but I cannot understand something when I watch American movie. People think, that if they can, other people can too. But it is wrong! We all have different cognitive capabilities. And when people who have no problems learning a language say that the inability to learn a language is a myth, it causes anger. People just don't understand that not all people can do the same! For example, in my country I am a highly paid IT developer with unique knowledge, I know programming languages and mathematics. But I absolutely cannot learn foreign languages. I don't want to offend anyone, but the advice in the video is very naive and has been given many times by many people. I've been learning one word for almost a week. I look for it in context, in video, in text, in literature. But the next day I can't remember it. To remember just one phrase and context, I need a hundred repetitions and at least a week!!! You just can't understand that not everyone remembers words or phrases and their context after one, two or ten repetitions. I need to see a word hundreds of times to remember it. Do you think in 15 years I haven’t figured out language learning techniques? Or haven’t you watched about 100 Ted videos on how to learn a foreign language? It’s just that for many people this is a hundred times more difficult than for you. And you need to understand this, but you cannot understand it because of your selfish picture of the world. It seems to you that if I can do it, then everyone can do it. But everyone else is not you.

What an adorable accent, pure and comprehensive english. I wish everyone who’s first language is English spoke like that. That would’ve been great for us, english learners. Correct me please if I did mistakes :)

thanks, i start to learn english and this conferences was very helpful to me . thanks

Matthew Youlden!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH! YOU INSPIRED ME!

There are TedX talks by native speakers of Mandarin, French, Egyptian Arabic and a lot more. They are really helpful in my language learning.

Let's be honest... If you have motivation to really study everyday, you can learn a new language. It doesnt matter if it's fun or not, it depends on how dedicated you are. I believe that most people keep looking for magic in language learning, but this doesnt happen. If you can have fun, great! But you'll always need dedication!!!

Выступление интересное и приятное, спасибо спикеру! Вот только я не поняла, как же легко выучить любой язык?

Thank you for the motivation. I hope I can stick to the rules.....

You're simply excellent and awesome Matthew!!!
