    • It's the natural first stage of acquiring and remembering the strange sound. 'who oh' allowed me to interpret pinyin huo. chun for example is not ch un; but chew won. So yes it's exactly what you need to aid pronunciation. Grammar is grammar a wholly different realm which you then acquire through practice and mistakes. As for reading and writing - they are a different skillset, requiring painstaking work - generally less necessary to ones needs. There are plenty of illiterate Chinese. Why crit an expert trying to help? 你说过了这是你的第一次方法；搜易为什么你想抱怨

    • He speaks indeed English pretty well, but I'm also Brazilian and I could notice his Brazilian accent really quick in the first minutes of the video. Still, his accent is "better" than most Brazilians I've heard before (just to make it clear: there's nothing wrong about having an accent if you pronounce it good enough for people to understand you).

    • Peter Müller That’s someone who you know and trust enough to tell you when you make a mistake. Someone who helps you get better, without the fear of hurting your feelings. Normaly we are far to polite to correct anyone when they make a mistake. A stickler will tell you, not to make you feel bad, but to help you in your path to master the language or any other study you’re doing.

  • my steps are just: 1. learn the alphabet (except for mandarin and its dialects because mandarin is a rebel). 2. learn phrases. don't just cram new words into your head. 3. break down the words and see how a sentence is structured. then make your own sentences. EDIT: by sentence structure I mean like Subject, Verb, Object kind of thing.

    • As well as I understand, most of them have learned two or three languages in early childhood which has made learning new ones much easier. So I do not mean they have not had to do anything themselves! Give your children at least two languages from the beginning if at all possible and you give them a head start!

    • Scottico Who is making excuses? :O If you have two (or more) languages in your family, PLEASE speak both of them to your children! Many speakers of minority languages, especially endangered ones, think their language is inferior and of no use to their children, so they speak only the majority language to them. But bilingualism is an advantage as such - if the child forgets one of the languages later (of course I hope not!), the brain has benefited anyway, because it seems early bilingualism moulds the brain permanently. And it is great if some endangered languages are kept alive in the process!!! In my opinion linguistic diversity is as important for the human culture as biodiversity is for the nature. I admire people who keep their mother tongues alive, and people who want to learn small and endangered languages, in addition to bigger and more "useful" ones.

I learned a large number of languages... not to the level of being fluent but still speaking with the accent of the professional linguists who created the "learn x language in 30 days" or the "assimil" series of language lessons. Quite often, Chinese people started to talk to me at normal speed, convinced by my prononciation that i could understand everything. I hope you keep learning even if you may encounter indifferent or even negative reaction.

  • something that's always cool to do is to watch a movie in a foreign language with subtitles so you know what's going on, and then when you rewatch it, forego the subtitles. Then since you already understand what's happening, you can focus on the language. If you're fairly new to the language, you can focus on picking out separate words and sentences and structure, and if you have a basic knowledge of the language, you can pick out phrases you know and use context, along with what you know from seeing it with subtitles, and use that to piece together the gaps in your knowledge to understand the language as they speak it. I've done this a couple times for Spanish, and it was actually pretty helpful for me. I highly recommend the movie La Misma Luna if you're doing this for Spanish, because both English and Spanish are spoken in different parts of the movie.

  • Love this talk!! My best tips are 1) get a boy-/girlfriend who is a native speaker of w the language you wanna learn😂😂 Haha but there are other ways as well😁 what I did was - switch language on my fb (and my phone eventually), admit it, you know where those buttons are anyways haha - follow people, newspapers etc on social media posting in that language - talk to myself, mostly did it while driving the scooter to school haha - Have a book or document ready so that whenever I learned a new word I could write it down and double check the translation(s)/meaning(s). In the beginning I mostly chose words I recognised were used often, later on I would write every new word as they got fewer:) So basically make that language a part of your everyday life. Randomly bumping into the languages on my facebook helped a lot really! And my English pronounciation got 100x better after I started watching youtubers:) I also think it's super interesting to look at the emythology of words and see how languages are connected. My native language is Norwegian, 2nd I learned is English, 3rd is German:)

    • ***** I have to disagree. Even for someone who is at a very beginning level in Thai, learning the alphabet will put you on the fast track to replicating the sounds correctly and more importantly, the tones for each word. Speaking from experience, once you learn to read and write in Thai, conversation comes so much faster. The transliteration just doesn't cut it with this language... learning to read and write side by side with learning conversation and speaking will greatly reduce the confusion with tones and sounds. It's worth the extra effort!

  • I do believe there is a kind of universal rule to any language. I mean, I do believe in what Chomsky said about that. People who has mastered a second language usually have no difficulty in learning a third, forth language, etc. But for some people learning a second language is something incredibly difficult. I was shocked because his Brazilian Portuguese was perfect. But then he grew up here... But the only so called secret that I know when it comes to language is an extensive reading, listening, watching, speaking, writing and dictionary. And it takes a lot of time and dedication.

    @SophyaAgain@SophyaAgain8 жыл бұрын

    • Fully learning a language is quite difficult for sure. I also believe once you get that second language out of the way, even if you aren't fluent, it will help a lot in learning others. I think you can get a pretty good understanding and learn enough to have a basic conversation or get around in the country much faster though. That's all you really need for a visit and can then begin improving.

    • Yeah it is much easier to learn when you are young. My friend is from Afghanistan so he grew up learning Pashto and some others. I forget when he moved to the US but he was still a kid and had to start learning English at that point. I think after English he had an easier time since it wasn't a native language he was taught.

  • I'm German so obviously German is my mother tongue... but I've watched all my TV series in English and always spoke to myself in English... and I got to the point where I'm really confident in my English (even though I might have a little bit of an accent). Now I started to learn Korean. I've watched korean TV shows and listened to korean music for the past 4 years so I already know the basics. And now that I really started to focus on learning the language I made such a great step in just a few days. I followed your tips and used Korean to speak to myself and I was actually able to have a casual conversation in just 1 week. Also since I've always been very interested in korean culture it's actually really fun for me to learn the language. ^^
