A Language Learning Tale

A Language Learning Tale

Welcome. My name is Juliet. I'm British, I'm a writer and I'm currently learning Italian (since December 2020), Welsh (since December 2021) and refreshing my French from my youth (since March 2023). I use Duolingo for language lessons, but I also use KZread, reading books and various other resources.

The current schedule for posting is:

Mondays - Duolingo run if I have one to post.
Wednesdays - Regular video (books, translations, etc).
Thursdays - A story/poem in Italian, if I have one to post.
Fridays - A resource you can use for language input, if I have one to post.
Sundays - A podcast on a language-related topic. Also available on Spotify, if you prefer to use that for podcasts.

    No, when I lift my tongue, there is no rolling. Air just passes around my tongue.

    And I try not to roll my R in order to get an English R. I did not know that people are struggling the same as me to get a Latin R. I feel much better now 🤣

    After reviewing your videos, I noticed that they are missing rank tags and your title descriptions are not fully optimized for SEO. Currently, your SEO score is at 0%. It's important to note that video SEO is a major contributor to a video's success. To increase your chances of going viral, it's crucial to use high-ranking keywords and promote your video organically to your targeted audience.

    Your channel looks good and the videos are amazing. There are some problems with your KZread channel. That's why your channel is not growing. I see your videos are not optimized properly. If you have such problem, your channel will never get the expected likes, comments or views. I found that problem in your channel. Your video does not have enough likes, comments, or shares and is not reaching the target audience. Make your video titles SEO-friendly. Add niche-relevant keywords to your channel and videos Immediately need SEO for your KZread channel.

    You also roll your R's in Spanish on a word with a double R such as Perro or Corrida.

    Thank you for your channel and poems. Wondering if it would be possible to put the sub-titles up closer to the Italian. That would make it easier to read both, I think. And just a couple of corrections: With tribu (accent over the u), the emphasis is on the second syllable. And with sbagliano, the emphasis is on the first syllable. Thank you.

    I can't say padre in spanish with the rolled R's, but I can roll my R's with certain words like permaneces. It doesn't make sense to me

  • @catherineburke7900
    @catherineburke79006 ай бұрын

    this is probably because of the sound before or after. in padre it's an 'a' in which your tongue is at the bottom of your mouth but in permaneces the 'e' is already quite close to where you need it to be for the rolled r!

    This is how I use the Legendary lessons- I repeat lessons for practice until they’re comfortable. Then I try the legendary. They are hard. So I do as much of it as is comfortable - maybe only getting 1/3 or 1/2 way. Then I log out of it and try again another time. I use free Duolingo along with other sources like You Tube videos and on line translators. I appreciate that Duolingo still offers free learning at a time when everyone and everything is charging. Maybe this reply will help someone. Good luck guys

    as a welsh learner, ive found the duolingo welsh course kinda confusing sometimes it mixes dialects and doesnt really tell you how patterns work, instead just expecting you to find that out yourself i would say its more helpful for refreshing or learning vocab but not for like grammar and stuff

  • @7MPhonemicEnglish
    @7MPhonemicEnglish8 ай бұрын

    This is a can of worms because what you're actually doing is trilling a /d/ consonant. The IPA chose to assign the 'R' symbol to the Trilled D, so we call it "R". This is because more languages use the symbol for that sound than for the 'er' sound that English has. In General American English and most English accents the IPA symbol is apparently /ɹ/ but the Clowns in charge want to keep calling it a consonant despite it having all the attributes and functionality of a vowel. I don't like Clowns. I reject the Clowns and call it a vowel. You can give a D-trill a single symbol but that seems to be a denial of what the sound truly is. The more logical symbol would be a /d/ with a diacritic indicating that it is trilled for a short or a long time.
