Super hellpfull video

Great

Great advice on language learning tools! Just wanted to mention Immersive Translate. It’s a free tool that’s essential for translating online language content.

The degree of command of your L2 is probably the single most inspiring thing about your channel, followed closely by the brilliant content. I'd go so far as to say it's even more impressive than someone like Luca. Really love your stuff, man. Thank you.

I wish she'd answered more profoundly it seems that she's all about cliches

Anki is a great tool and I will still use it. However it is time to completely drop-kick the forgetting curve. It is a scam. I'm not trying get people not to use Anki or other tools that are similar. It's not flashcard software that's wrong (though other methods are probably as good or in some case better) but there's a complete flaw in the idea of having to review everything according to the forgetting curve. When you become a consumer of language you will eventually consume stuff - books, articles, videos, podcasts, films etc. Each time you read a book (or any other item) you come across all sorts of items from your list. Even if you once knew something but forgot it you will probably construct it from context. With language, once you have known a word you will fairly readily work it out. You don't really forget a term/word if you're meeting it and if you're not meeting it then you don't need it. I want a software that reviews a card 10 times and then deletes or archives it. Because once you know a word it's there more or less forever. If you never meet it, then you don't need it and if you meet it regularly then you both need t but no longer need SRS because each book or news programme is an SRS. Anki and other types of software are really useful tools. I just thin the forgetting curve is a load of rubbish. I don't use SRS for my native English - how do I know all my English words? I just read, watch films, talk to people and so on. Also, the brain doesn't retain conscious knowledge for every item it acquires. Some knowledge is downgraded - forgotten, but it's still in there somewhere. Personally I find doing flashcards early in language learning helpful. I find it helpful for automating some chunks inluding technical phrases and idioms. I find using SRS with Greek speeds my reading. Some words enter my brain by the fast recognition route via SRS (numbers being an example). Final point. Yes it can be overwhelming. In this sense traditional vocab learning was a bit better. That is, learn a word then get reading. You need to make sure that you are not overwhelmed and if needed to then delete decks you no longer need.

Would you recommend LingQ japanese for beginners..

Do you recommend shadowing with audiobooks or native audio from UA-cam using your method?

Hey Löis, I've just discovered your channel. Really great content mate! My queation is: do you reckon using LingQ App and Pod 101 is a good idea? Or maybe with just one method/material would be enough? Cheers!

thank a lot

does any one else hear a rooster and birds in the background

We need fluent falcon man

Hello. Your video was very informative, especially because you provided alternatives. I have a more specific question that I hope you will respond to. I'm an advanced Spanish student but more or less flying by the proverbial seat of my pants. I want to learn in a more structured manner and with grammar included. Which, if any, of these other programs allow you to step into them at an advanced level? Do they have a test at the beginning that helps place you at a proper starting point?

A likely reason for some people sounding native and some people not has to do with personal views and importances on specific identities. There has been research that says that Arabic dialects more or less don't have to be mutually intelligible due to the number of differences between them, but they are, the research argued, because they consider themselves a part of a larger community. Having good feelings about things drives a lot in human life even including the immune system and recovery, so obviously in something so deeply central to our personalities, feeling and importance should be playing a huge role behind the scenes. Our unconscious mind does so much work behind the scenes choosing what to remember and what to forget and what importance to put on things we learn and experience.

I just ran into your video and I wanted to say that I totally agree about Pimsleur! I cannot say enough about it. I have been a false starter in French for like 25 years, lol. I took it all though high school. Kept picking it up and dabbling in it over the years after and kept trying to really learn it. Our family visited Paris last year and I felt like I knew nothing, lol! So I decided I was going to try a new approach and really buckle down. I started using some new apps. And I also started Pimsleur, with the help of my local library. I have an old car with a CD player inside and so the Pimsleur French CDs from my library have been perfect! I just pop in a CD and do a 30 min. lesson during my commute to work. I am on French 1, part B (like lesson 26 or so) and I feel like I'm finally really progressing with conversational French. Sometimes I don't even have to think about it. The repetition and review that you don't even realize you are doing is great. I cannot praise the program enough. My library only carries I think the first 3 units, but if I can keep this up, I'm absolutely willing to go in for the app, or purchasing it another way. I know it can be pricey, but it's hands down the best thing I've used. You just must stick with it. Also, PS, your accent in English is amazing.

Hello Loïs, I am not a totally beginner, I studied French for 2 years at the university. Which course do you recommend?

For those looking for websites or apps to study a language and learn the basics of it, I highly recommend Busuu. You can use it for free and get to the intermediate level just by studying a little bit everyday for a couple of months. I've been doing this for French for 6 months and it's working!

Bro how did you learn english please ? And what helped you to become fluent ? I couldn’t guess that french was your first language.

Don't believe anyone that tells you that you have an accent in English. You don't. Your accent is pretty much 100% perfect. There are native speakers of English who sound worse than you.

Geat video....very useful as your usual Lois. Keep going man!💪👌

Amazing❤❤

I've watched several videos with Dr VP. He knows his study very well and I believe his concepts have an important hierarchical position in language learning. However, I find his information difficult to apply to my language learning. Just my humble opinion. Any positive thoughts would be appreciated.

I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING except the last part❤😂

I'm an ESL teacher. The claim that students should not worry about mistakes and bad pronunciation is wrong. Although such defects disappear over time, they _will_ persist in a foreign language. Even worse: Mistakes and mispronunciations become ingrained over time, and it becomes almost impossible to correct them because mistakes are too ingrained, too ossified. So students should be concerned about all this from the get-go; otherwise, they will accrue a lot of mistakes, become very sloppy, and it will all ossify. It's gonna be too hard to get rid of it later on. I guess that's why some people claim it's impossible to have native level pronunciation, usage, etc. However, it's an erroneous view. The ossified mistakes--that's what prevents people from getting perfect pronunciation and usage. Wrong patterns are transferred from the first language to the second, and the student is often unaware of this process. Ergo, he or she is doomed to always speak with an accent, usage mistakes, and pronunciation mistakes, even after living among native speakers for 20 years. However, if a student pays attention to wrong pronunciation and mistakes and works towards getting rid of them, he or she may even attain a native level competence at least with pronunciation and common vocabulary. The same applies to lower level students. It starts there! Don't learn everything the wrong way and don't let it get ossified in your brain. I understand this linguist doesn't really care about his French but some students do.

i am not liking babbel app. it always scrolls back to the top of the course and i have to scroll back to where i was. there is also a lot of having to choose a lesson to take instead of having a straight progression of structured lessons, i keep having to pick what i want to do. i payed for this, but i barely use it i´m more into pimsleur and italki

Language learning is heavily driven by talent. But the language learning industry will never admit this because there is no money in biology.

If one learns the vocabulary just to know the vocabulary it's OK to link new words to L1 words, but if the goal is to use the L2 it is crucial to build an independent semantic net for L2, where the words are connected together inside this net, unless one is not a translator and really needs these links between L1 and L2 words and collocation.

In your opinion, what age is appropriate for these two apps?

I took a course in keypunch back in the 60's You had to have 3yrs experience, which I thought was impossible.

Luka is wrong about using translation into native language. That is how they teach English in those countries where nobody can use or understand any English. Even teachers who teach English are barely at an intermediate level. The goal for a beginner is to reach a level where they can learn a second language without relying on the native language. Obviously this doesn't work for some 3rd world languages when native speakers don't realy want anybody learning their language anyway. But if we take English as an example, linguistic community had developed wonderful tools like Longman dictionary for learners of English. If our goal is a native like fluency, any use of native language only impedes the development of a second language.

turku dersinde inglizci ogrenmek.Merhaba .hmmm Arkadaslar videoyu sona kadar !izlerseniz,turkoeyi unutuyorsunuz.Iyi aksamlar yok mu.

Great Lois👍💪👌

Lois,are you the one teaching japanese on UA-cam since i am.used to your accent when speaking English?

When a Polyglot says he speaks 5 to 20 languages, How deep into the FLUENCY of the LANGUAGES are they able to really COMMUNICATE to a Native Speaker on ANY SUBJECT?????????????????????????

What resources do you recommend if you want to eventually become fluent

Isle of Tenerife, Spain, Africa. Oh WOW! TWO GIANTS! No kidding! This is QUALITY content, for real! Keep up the great work, lads. The first beer or wine is on me, whenever ye come visit here. Plus a few tips to get ye started learning Canary Islands Whistle Language, easy peasy once you already know Spanish. Best wishes, Patchy.

Ok .. this is the only video on the whole UA-cam that said it all in a short truthful way.. merci beaucoup pour l'honnêteté

I have the impression that Luca forcefully try to say fancy words like "coalesce" and "painstakingly" just to come across as an advanced english speaker but he doesn't realize how unnatural and unnecesarily fancy he sounds compared to regular native english speakers. It's not the first or second time that I've heard him use those 2 words in his interviews. And not even once from a native speaker in a normal conversation, I've only seen them written in books. It's just abnormal.

The camera angle and lighting make you look heroic, Lois! :-)

Now I feel the same as you, no progress, I don't understand when watching movies I want to be fluent like you, 😢

Thanks you so much for this super video

Omg I love Luca

looking really cool in those shades man

There are not so many shows in English in lingopie actually....Disappointed :(

I am about to finish all 5 levels of Pinsular Italian. What are your recommendations on what app based program to continue my learning?

Why no subtitle for this video?

this video is under appreciated
