@carradee

4 жыл бұрын

@@FMRebs , the most obvious difference is better retention-I pick things up faster and remember them longer when I study 3-5 at once vs. just 1 or 2. Combination also means I have more associations for defining phrases or remembering grammar. Like, there are some things in Greek that parallel Spanish better than English, so I remember that in Spanish. I also find that studying related phrases in multiple languages at once reduces that "translation" layer, even when I am only at an elementary level in a language. This can get disconcerting, when I find myself muttering something I don't yet consciously remember how to say on purpose. The trickiest part is how, even though it l am making more progress altogether when studying multiple, it's still significantly less progress in each one, so the learning curve can feel steeper. I acclimated myself to hopping between languages quickly, too, which is useful but will sometimes have a side effect of me, say, thinking I opened a French quiz but actually I opened Portuguese, and I actually do well on the quiz before I consciously realize "Hey, wait…"

@@FMRebs , my primaries are Spanish (where I am intermediate), Greek, and Mandarin (both elementary, though I am further in Greek comprehension and grammar). I don't have a mixing problem aside from sometimes only remembering how to say something in one language and not another. With those three, I also have been careful to have a bit of distance between grammar studies and such. I tend to juggle methods, though I have a preference for music and cloze exercises. However, I have also experimented with some study of Italian, French, and Portuguese, with the exact same methods on the same day, and I still don't have a mixing problem. That does seem to increase the incidence of me understanding something and having to pause and think it through before I identify which language it is. One thing I will never study in multiple languages at once is the writing system. I'm positive I am dyslexic (but I started school able to read and such, with coping mechanisms in place, so it only affected my grades when a teacher blocked my coping mechanisms, at which point I would then get in trouble for alleged laziness, so I don't have an official diagnosis).

Can you ask you a question? When you study 3 or 4 languages at the same time, do you start from scratch or you have an intermediate level? You can play being a translator. While you're learning a new language, you can learn that language with another language which is not your native language; nevertheless, you have a reasonable level. Let's say B2. Learning is not as tricky as maintain all of them at a high level. Let's say C1. My German and English are quite good; however, I can only understand french and Italian very well. If I have to speak these last two languages, I will struggle a lit bit. Input is essential, but the output is more important than studying the language. I don't know if you talk to yourself in that language. I have a method. My method is to learn several phrases by heart, and then try to formulate other sentences with the same structures. I am going to shed some light on this topic. My sister works from Monday to Friday. This is the sentence I learnt by heart. Now, I have to formulate other sentences with the same structure. My brother sleeps from 11pm to 7 am. My mother goes to school from Monday to Thursday. I play with words. This is just a silly example. My goal is to learn words in sentences rather than acquiring them individually from a list. I have a hard time to translate from one language to another language. It's not challenging to translate some sentences from the level A1 or A2, but what can be tough is to figure out how you formulate sentences with similar meanings. For example, in German Aber, Jedoch, allerdings, dennoch- in English means but, however. There are little words that mean the same, but they are not interchangeable. My native languages are Portuguese and Spanish. I have the feeling we have fewer words than English or German. There are even words you can't translate- You have to understand the meaning behind of the word- The origin of the word. Chi-coraçao- This word means a sincere cuddly. A heartfelt hug that you feel from the bottom of your heart. There is no such word in English. Jinx is a common English word you can't translate in other languages.

You are SO right about spending less time trying to re-learn the words I can't seem to retain. Thank you!

Appreciate Sir and jubilant to heard that your learning our languages. I am Persian and know some Arabic as well. My suggestion is that first of all focus on the join words because Turkish, Arabic and Farsi have many join words. For Arabic I think it had better to start with Iraqi accent which is closer to Farsi and many Arabs can understand that almost completely. If I can help, I will do with pleasure.

I have been doing it without stressing: Arabic, Portuguese, and Korean. I have found that the great differences between them hasn't been that great a hurdle. But I have been doing what you are doing.

Good for you Steve. You look about my age. I'm chipping away at French. I started Japanese and Arabic a few years ago but it was too much, especially with work music study.

I am going to apply this method as well. I have reached 2k words in French but have been wanting to really get into Spanish more (my girlfriend and 2 boys are from Mexico) and German ( I have family in Germany) so Im going to do this. But I'm going to use the mini stories and the first Harry Potter book which I am familiar with in French and obviously English. But I have only read it in French up to chapter 2. I'm gonna the repetitiveness and plow thru content and see how much more I learn thru massive exposure. Best of luck Steve!!!

Hi Steve, I am a new subscriber to LingQ since a few days. I decided to spend the money on LingQ after watching several of your videos. Today, I just found this 3 year old video of you. In fact I’m now also doing 3 languages simultaneously on LingQ: Polish (which I studied 40 years ago), Chinese (which I studied for 8 years, but already more than 15 years ago) and Spanish (I had class for two years prior to Covid). Now I want to spend time everyday to improve on these languages, as I have already forgotten a lot! Now my questions: - creating 100 LingQs per language every day seems a lot to me. Should I not start with much less and then gradually build up as I make progress? - this video is 3 years old. How did it go? Did it work out well for you? Is there a follow-up video on this? - I started LingQ using my mother tongue (Dutch) as the source/reference language. However, now I start to doubt if that’s the best to do! I assume there are many more English speaking subscribers. Therefor there are probably less translation errors in English, and also much more content available. Would it not be better if I change my source/reference language from Dutch to English? (English is no problem for me as I have used it all the time during my working years. Now I’m retired.) Hope you find some time to reply. Thanks a lot!

Excellents tips mister Steven. Today I am studing English, but I intend to study Spanish in future. I was thinking how I could to continue improve my English in the same with the Spanish studies. You tips help me a lot. Thanks.

For a few weeks now I started reading a Spanish article in the morning, read it again that night, and read it a final time the next morning along with a new article...

And then cartoons or telenovellas at night, I love me some telenovellas!

I just do it without a strick framework, because of my circumstances and go with whichever 'sits in my heart' at the time.

I'm studying Norwegian (LingQ ministories?), Finnish, and Irish mainly, but I'm constantly having to fight off competing interests in other languages, especially Icelandic and Maltese. Also there are so many people around me that speak Chinese, Hindi, Persian, Vietnamese, and Polish, I keep getting the feeling I should try and learn those as well. That doesn't even count languages I've studied in the past that are decaying. I put a strict limit of three languages daily and its reassuring to see how you masters of language learning are doing something similar. Good luck on your endeavor.

I speculated once or twice more, concerning the quantity of the daily norm - 100 per language. It seems to me, the number is too high. After only 3 month with Turkish, the main problem is, as I see it, not whole understanding sometimes what is said with already known words. It is better, for excample, for me to come across not more than one or two unknown words per sentence. Otherwise, it is difficult to get a hold on it. Having put every next sentence to Google-translator, I do experimens with them: I throw out some words, than return them back and throw out the others, search for the dictionary form of a word, swap the fields "original - translation", and back again. Thus I understand the language being learned more deeply. With such approach, it is too hard to process 100 words a day. But I agree totally, everybody is searching for the best way for oneself.

Yes , it's not fair if you don't have it. And, Yes, hard work and discipline are part of it but nevertheless there is definitely a pre - programmed element involved .

Is this an add for Phillips? Haha

what do you mean with "hundred links a day"?

LingQ is pronounced like "link," and it's a highly revolutionary language learning platform, developed by Steve himself. It's the best tool for true language acquisition, and creating LingQs is the core learning activity we do on the platform: www.lingq.com

Hope to see Hindi some day Cheers 🥂

What does it mean to you to know a word? "learning" ten thousand words through Linq in that time frame does not mean you can actually use those words freely in comversation. At best you could recognise them. I think it is important to say exactly what you mean by "learn" so people do not get false ideas.

Sage Fields I don’t think anyone is getting confused by it. If you understand the meaning when you encounter it in written and spoken form, you know. I don’t use all the words I know in English, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know them.

A year later.... so how did this work out?

I have explored all three, have a sense of these languages, dropped Turkish for now because it is much easier to read, and am focused on Arabic and Persian to improve my ability to read the Arabic script. Right now in 90 day challenge at LingQ for Arabic, will do one for Persian after this. Enjoying myself and will get back to Turkish. A long term project to learn all three.

It took me 6 minutes to realize that It is Lingq, no link. Sorry, I don't note ads.

Here learning japanese and korean meanwhile listening your video in English which is not my native language.

i am egyptian my first language is arabic i can understand about 90 percent of your video but i cant speak english i think a lot about what i should say 😔

We will add a language if we get enough content. The 60 mini-stories is a minimum. Any ideas?

how long does it take to finish 100LingQs a day?

For me personally I could do it in about 45 minutes. Maybe an Hour. Depends on your level in the language and how many Blue Words are in the texts you are reading.

I’m learning Japanese and I’m generally reading intermediate stuff. It takes me less than an hour to get to 100. Many of the words are either kanji or vocabulary I don’t know.

Steve, When you try to Kurdish language?😄

I'm Iranian, ask me if you have questions in persian!

I cannot learn that many words daily. I have to take a different approach to language learning, while still studying 3 languages a day.

The Toothbrush Method.

While it may still be a good approach, surely its still not as effective as if you studied just one intensively, dont you agree?
