I've seen this video , it's quite for the leveraging the vocabulary that your learning language . Yet I'd like to write my own learning phrase that I've been using so far , it maybe help you out to increase your vocabs. In my daily life , I read and listen english resources during the day . I check the vocabs if I couldn't comprehend the meaning of the sentence otherwise it is redundant to check and you will feel lost after return to context. As if , I can infer the meaning to vocab even though not know about it , I would highlight but I wouldn't stop the reading until end of to paragraph after that , I look the dictionary in English not my mother tongue firstly. If I could not understand even , I'd check the mother tongue as well . Most likely , I would forget it the meaning precisely after a while . Probably I'd see that words some other resources either within the next paragraphs therefore , I get used the word after see couple of time . Instead of writing tons of words to paper, you could grasp the words easily by this technique which I've been using it. So this encountered couple of times world could have been familiar or known words. I wish , you would understand what I mentioned in this paragraph because I'm not to much good with the writing and I don't feel free while I write some context in English. :D

Hi! My name is André, I’m from Brazil, I’m learning English and I have a dream to speak many languages and to be a linguist. Thanks for this video👏🏾

My memory is really bad, so I really can't memorize vocabulary by writing them down in a notebook and trying to memorize them. Rather, I memorize whole sentences in contexes and situations. My body can remember so much more than my brain. Weird, but true.

I think this is actually true for most people. Memory works by linking knowledge together, the more you link a word to context, the easier it is to recall. It's much easier for me to memorize all the words in a sentence from a story than a single word, or an out-of-context vocabulary sentence. However, the downside is that sometimes I can't recall the meaning of word, or the reading of kanji out of the original context I learned it in. I think, optimally, you learn the words in one context, one sentence first, then you learn another 2 or 3 sentences and, eventually, you become pretty good at recognizing the word in any context.

How do you imorove in speaking without actively recalling vocabulary? Passive vocabulary is not enough in order to produce (a decent) language.

It is impressive how we can learn any language by just doing simple things like reading books, listening to podcasts, and writing things in that language. When I first started to learn English, I didn't take it very seriously because I thought that if I went to school and studied English there, I would learn English as time went by, but then I realized that if I really want to learn and speak English fluently, I will have to study English everyday and make English learning a habit.

The idea that passive vocabulary is your main indicator of how far you“ve progressed in a language is very appealing to me. I think though it depends on your communicative (or for that matter non-communicative goals) you are trying to achieve in a certain language. If your aim is to be able to understand reading and listening material passively, it would help you a great deal. Once you want to communicate or write something in a language, you“d eventually have to turn your acquired passive vocabulary into an active one. Thus, being aware of the contexts (syntactical,lexical and pragmatical) in which you can actively use certain words is quite essential, I think. I would love to see comments on that.Being a linguist and polyglotte myself, I“ ve always enjoyed learning vocabulary, even out of a dictionary:)

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and experience! My past experience with German come to mind as you share this.

As a complete beginner, I’ve been supplementing Anki flashcards with podcasts, TV shows, and movies. So far, the flashcards have actually been helpful because words I would never even have parsed out in spoken language are specifically drawn out to me repeatedly by Anki. Then when I consume the media it’s like it just “clicks” and from this I’m able to learn even more words because I can guess based on the context of the words I just learned. I’m learning like 20 new words per day from flashcards and reviewing others recommended by Anki, and so far I’m pretty satisfied with my progress. Goal right now is to learn like 5K words in under a year.

This is fantastic, I love binge learning new words but felt guilty not using any of them. This gives me perfect excuse to indulge in this hobby

Steve, Do you ever do vocabulary augmentation by learning the roots and affixes of a language? I continue to do that and cannot see myself ever doing the one word at a time with the dictionary ever again. Aside from the most frequent words study of in a case of one word at a time, which is necessary, the passive knowledge of learning word roots and affixes has changed my outlook entirely. The Ancient Greek and Latin roots, suffixes and prefixes have expanded my passive understanding of English my mother tongue. Now I know many of that can be transferred to other Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages. Also modern Greek of which I can think of.

Ingenious! Thanks a lot for your video! Very interesting it is!)

We LOVE you, Steve! Keep up the good work; you are an inspirational teacher. I am learning Arabic with Arabe Facil, which means I am learning that language through Spanish. It makes sense to me because I am learning to improve both languages ...

Arabic & Portuguese both borrow Arabic words. See videos by Paul Jorgensen of Langfocus Bahador Alast of ? both discuss both languages words that are borrowed from Arabic.

Thanks for this video. From my own limited, but intensive experience I find that there is a 'scale' of knowing a word. In the early going it is exposure, exposure, exposure in context for non-cognates. True cognates are a gift. My biggest current challenge is recognizing known words in speech. Early on I might recognize a word, but slowly. So slowly that I loose the context - the world passes me by. A weird, long delay until my brain accepts it knows this word. This delay shortens the more times I hear a given word. So in this context I wouldn't say I fully know a word (or phrase) until I can understand it in speech at a normal listening rate. Repetition matters a lot. Reading is different, the delay in recognition doesn't matter because the rate I read at is not important. Great stuff!

People who say they have problems learning new vocabulary should bear in mind We are learning new words every day in our first language. We change our vocabulary all the time depending on the social situation we are in. It's just not as obvious as when you are learning a new foreign language when it seems like hard work. These things take time and because so many people present this as an easy task to sell their products or to show they are special one can become rather negative about our own abilities.

I'm Persian and be glad to hear that and thanks for your videos ❤️👑

Word count isn't about if you can use it, but it _is_ about if you don't forget it. I fail at language learning because i'm on a treadmill - the words i "learn" fall away, come back, fall away, come back, and i'm treading water, never reaching the point where i can use regular material as input

I found out that a passive vocabulary much bigger than active one. That's why we can understand more when listening than we are able to say in conversation. So when someone is listening or writing, he likely uses both of them, but when saying a person mostly applies an active vocabulary.

关于学习方式，我认可主播很多说法和指引。“指引”？对，指导，推荐。说起词汇，“指引”词语是我比较新的词语。我在这里引用某种程度是探测性的尝试。就是故意使用尚未十分掌握的词语。目的是透过接触，使得尚未掌握好的词语变得更加熟悉，操作起来更加顺手。这是我我学习词汇的策略。当然，在没有老师的陪同下，这么做未必解决掉什么。需要收到反馈。有知道者纠正，让你体会到你哪里出了错。我缺乏这一环。但是，我认为这是我学习汉语的基本面。都还是自己摸索。本频道的主播也是提倡多接触。我也一样。只是，当你始终依靠自己，你需要很多的接触才能拍出错误的理解。没有关系。我可以接受这个情景。我只是表述一下我的情况和对于事物表达我的人知。回到主题，词汇学习，我也要表达一下我的看法。并不一定是应付主播而陈述的。只是空谈一下自己的见解。哎呀，我有点不谨慎做表述。可能让读者感到混乱不清。请别介意。我首先是来练习练习中文阐述。随笔阐述。我有点忘了要说什么。主播说词汇学习重要。掌握词汇多寡是衡量一个人的外语能力最好的指标。这一点我听进去了。另外，他好像说了理解词汇的质量也重要。硬背词汇不一定好，但是他不反对。他只是提倡透过阅读和聆听顺其自然学习词汇。这些我都不反对。就是我与人的认知高度契合了。我赞成Steve老师的input策略。就是获得讯息的策略和实际做法。但是，我发现我自己所使用的接触，再接触，却不分析或者反思自己的学习方略。。。这个局面，一定也有不足之处。我认为我的学习方法缺乏创新。也没有必要排出人家发明的技术和方法。就是app的应用什么的。但是先不说这些了。因为我也年纪比较大了。我还是要为比较老套的学习工具说两句。那就是看辞典。不是查词典喽。我说的是随机性翻阅辞典的动作。我记得在中国的时候，两位比较闲的办公室女管理员常常阅读词典。我总觉得奇怪。多么无聊啊。我为做过。直到今天也很少那么做。但是，我最近对此态度提出质疑。我汉语学习事业里不怎么接触英语。结果，有些概念一直很模糊。还有，我查字典是针对性的。结果，我好像缺乏梳理一些基本道理。就是针对性的查字典往往是个别词义的接触，而汉字的意思很多。假若很想搞定汉语，不排除阅读字典的积极作用。就是主动阅读词典区分每个字不同意思。哎呀，这是天大的工程。我赞成这么做。我只是说可能是可行的学习方法。还有，因为我不看英语，或者少看英语，我的一些基本东西的名称不知晓。我家里有一本带图的词典。大家可能看过类似的词典。一个主题一个主题分别排列。看图学习汉语词汇。我觉得我就缺乏这方面的知识。普通物品的名称。但是我从未阅读过那本词典。这或许是我本人的疏忽。或许阅读那本店铺词典可以高度集中学到至今缺乏认知的词汇。那种学习方法苦闷，无聊。但是，我不应该自动的去否认它了。也许当年阅读词典那几位有了自己的一套学习方法。或许我需要借鉴。好，写了那么多。先不修改错别字。直接发布。回头整理整理。

I started learning French: I bought three French books and a dictionary. I started to translate word by word with my dictionary. I underscored every word in my dictionary. After using it, I noticed, that I have underscored this word already. To translate took time. Next book was easier, because my vocabulary has increased already. After translating three books, I did not need to underscore much. I continued this way and after reading 1500 French books, I understand many new words from the context. I listened to the French songs, watched movies and travelled in France and Belgium. I cannot say, that I know French, but I have a tiny idea about it. Later I made blogs in three languages and I learnt more.

Vocabulary is the most important step to learn any language. If you want to learn vocabulary firstly, you can understand any language easily.

steve, I can't agree with you more. Passive vocabulary is the first step to learning a language, it's like some people can understand the language but can't speak it fluently. The next step is to turn the passive things into active vocabularies.... and this process could be much longer. coz... now, it's about memory and instinct, but not just basic understanding.

I wish I could have used lingq more for my japanese lessons. Unfortunately the system used to identify and separate words doesn't do japanese well. I plan on coming back to it when I'm more advanced. 😁
