    Do your have an e-book in each language to teach this method as in Portuguese, spanish etc? It's a interesting method nice great 😃👍

    Thanks for sharing! You have a solid abstract thinking skill. Here is my few cents: the cyclic pattern you've noticed is a hint at it being a fractal (in this case it seems to be a tree or a graph , where vocabulary is a node that encloses question, answers and verbs and links to other vocabulary). What do you think?

    it's absolutely incredible that a week ago i started toying around with a belt-like system for my students, and I find a system that does exactly that! Absolutely amazing - I'm definitely not going to copy what you're saying, but I am taking some inspiration from it!!

    I get how this would greatly improve your ability to speak especially in the beginning stages but how would be able to understand a native speaker who isn’t going to be limited to 50 words? I suppose this would be great after spending time passively learning so you could understand people and this jumpstarts speaking unless there’s a aspect of this I’m missing I don’t see a way around many hours of passive learning like reading and listening. Still love the concept though!

  • @languagematrix
    @languagematrixАй бұрын

    Hi Will ... you are completely right about that. The Fluent in 50 Words concept is just a training tool that points to an aspect of language learning -- being able to do more with less. It's within the category of circumlocution (speaking around things), and saying something you *can* say versus what you *want* to say. All of that is part of your output (speaking) rather than input (listening).

    After seeing many clickbait videos about the language learning they just repeate some necessary points which is useful but not the whole thing and working just pain killer but when i saw your videos and get familiar with your methodology i have good feeling now and i think thats the major thing and main point of learning language and your warnings about false methods and their approach and bla bla . Please keep posting i um assure you i stay tuned with your channel.

    I like the concept, though as a Spanish learner, I feel like to fully be fluent and comfortable with a word (especially for Spanish) is to know all of the forms of the word. Like present/past/future tense, plural & singular etc etc. But, I see your point.

    I love this "less is more" approach. I feel that using this approach would definitely help eliminate decision paralysis when trying to think what to say/how to respond. Also, 50 words is far less overwhelming than 5000 words.

    Currently learning my family’s language Malay that how long would it take to speak conversationally with your method on here?

  • @languagematrix
    @languagematrix4 ай бұрын

    Hello Amirul, how long it takes to become conversational depends mostly on you and how often you practice conversing. The more often you have real conversations in Malay, the faster you will become good. As a rule of thumb, you should be having a conversation (even if it is just one question and one answer) your day. And should be able to ask and answer basic questions within a few days. After a few weeks you should have a good amount of questions and answers. And after a few months even more questions and answers. If things are taking months and months to years and years (which is the case for some people) then you aren't practicing correctly. I don't speak Malay but I regularly use AI to teach me languages from scratch. If you'd like, feel free to sit in on a session with me and we'll break it down together. You can email me at: [email protected]

  • @languagematrix

    Hi Steven, thank you. For some reason, the conventional way is to put the words you're supposed to learn in front of you, then see if you can memorize that. You can liken that to a train on a track. The problem with it is that you lose the opportunity to form your thoughts the way you want to form them. So instead of the train-on-a-track metaphor, you want to be like a boat that moves forward freely, and leaves a trail behind it. Another metaphor I like for this is thinking of language learning like learning jazz piano, rather than classical music. To learn jazz music (or how to use a language), there are modes and patterns you should follow, but you never play a song the same way twice.

    I've been using the mandala strategy for years (not only for language learning but for other subjects like Webdev or Math) and it's extremely effective (for me, at least). On the other hand, it's the first time I've seen the matrix thing... but looks amazing. I think it's something we all end up doing at some point, but not as structured as it's shown in this video. Thank you so much for sharing this, I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates it

    I think you're right that we all end up doing this anyway, and eventually information becomes circular in our minds rather than linear.

    The most important take away, that I can't agree more with, is that there are two core modes of learning: conversational (I call it exploratory) and structural This is what effective language learning boils down to. In classrooms only the structural phase is emphasized. When studying on your own, exploratory tends to be overemphasized. You need to combine the two organically. And also make sure you bridge the two with good "infrastructure": translating and saving data for review should not be scattered across many apps, you have to make sure you have an easy to use system for the ability to quickly translate and save the info you find relevant. And more importantly, it needs to be so easy you don't even notice the friction.

    I'm a native Spanish speaker myself and I'd like to add that in some countries it can be also "near": "Estoy por el lago" "I'm near the lake" Just like "cerca" Usually the difference is that when we say "Estoy por el lago" we don't know how close we are and when we say "Estoy cerca del lago" we know. Even if in your video it's a prep. of movement and in my example is a prep. of place, I'm adding this because we usually use it while walking, driving, jogging, etc. But omitting the verb. Hope it helps and sorry for my bad English 😢 I'd appreciate any observations, though
