These days, I maintain five languages, but I only actively study two of them.

I'm going to show you my exact tiered language learning approach, which only requires one hour a day.

And I'm also going to address common myths or questions related to active and passive learning.

You're also going to learn five principles that can help you maintain languages in a structured way.

The languages I'm focusing on now are Hungarian, Korean, Japanese, French, and Spanish.

So I got to a good conversational level in most of them at various points, but then everything started slipping away.

I tried everything.

I tried to fit all seven plus languages into a month, trying them a few a day, a few a week, etc. But I burnt out.

So please don't make the same mistakes.

The truth is that starting a language is easy, but maintaining it is the hard part.

Without consistent input and output using the language, your proficiency fades faster than you think.

If I haven't used Japanese particularly for a few months, when I try and speak again, my accent is off, I forget words,

but I gradually get back into it.

And it's embarrassing, but there are a few languages that I was good in and now I've forgotten because I didn't practice.

First important thing I want to tell you that I changed in my mindset is I stopped treating all languages equally.

Just because I'm learning five plus languages doesn't mean I need to do 10 minutes of Korean, 10 minutes of Japanese, 10 minutes of French, Spanish every single day.

Each language has its own goal, its own purpose, and resources that work for one language that might not work for another.

So let me give you a little pyramid graphic, a tiered language approach, the one I use these days.

Tier one is active focus.

These are high effort languages and the ones that are really crucial to me right now.

Hungarian is very important to me because I'm moving to Hungary soon, so I take about one or two 45-minute language lessons online every week.

If everything is fine, I'll probably live in Hungary.

and working through some books because I really like reading.

I do have time before bed.

I don't scroll on my phone these days before bed.

Finally, I've reached that habit and I read.

And a lot of my time is spent reading in Korean.

Maintenance.

My language is in maintenance mode with some effort.

So Japanese will be reading articles about topics I like, like tech and culture, as well as a few books

that I've bought in Japan related to creating planners and journals and productivity.

I also bought quite a few books on World War II, which I'm very interested in,

and I am still going to make a Japanese bookshelf tour video coming up soon

but Japanese again is just maintenance mode pretty much the same

as Korean except Korean I put in more effort to practice

grammar then for French I do an online group lesson once

a week this is for an hour long it's through my

friend Riley's online language school it's called pardon my language

and it's the pardon my French branch I have my two

French notebooks here I'll put some overlay video of my language notes here, but I'm really enjoying the group lessons.

It's a nice change of environment from having to teach myself or work through a textbook, etc. And it's a nice opportunity to really have a lot of speaking practice.

And I call this one minimum effort as well, because all I have to do is show up for a lesson, speak during the lesson, and take some notes.

Then tier number three is passive maintenance.

This is the low effort tier, just enjoying the languages.

And actually, I might throw Dutch in here because my Instagram feed is just Dutch memes and I hear it a lot.

I'm not really learning it, but I went to the Netherlands recently and I got to use Dutch.

Anyways, and in this category also falls Spanish and maybe sometimes Mandarin Chinese when I'm feeling like it.

My Chinese is dusty.

I haven't touched it for a while.

The goal for this tier is high volume contextual input.

For this tier, what I really need is listening and reading together.

It sounds like a bit of high effort, but if you have a script and you're listening, a transcript, or subtitles, that is super useful.

Now, why I say it's low effort is you are just

consuming content with a little bit of effort where you might be writing down new words, reviewing flashcards, etc. Well, not you,

but me, and you can try this.

So, Spanish, I pretty much just chill with Spanish.

You'll see in my previous videos, I do a lot of shadowing.

That would be repeating what someone is saying to get the natural tone, intonation, speed, whatever.

Just watching random shows on Netflix doesn't really help sometimes because I've noticed the audio doesn't always match subtitles.

It's extremely frustrating when I want to properly learn what they are saying, especially for difficult languages like Norwegian and Danish.

But I have a better solution.

This is where the app Lingopie really helped me with this tiered approach, especially for Spanish.

You can watch movies or TV shows in a bunch of different languages

and it gives you dual language subtitles where you can click on the word,

learn its meaning, can ask about a specific grammar point or context on where to use the specific word that you've learned.

They have integrated review flashcards and other types of review games.

These quizzes and flashcards help you ensure retention, reinforce your learning, and memorize words and never forget them.

Watching one TV show, I can learn about 30, 40 new words.

And Lingopi has this built-in feature called Say It, where it can test your pronunciation.

It'll play something for you, you have to say it back, and then it'll mark if your pronunciation is accurate or not.

Lingopi is currently running a 58% discount promotion for Black Friday, so use the link in the description to claim your discounts.

In summary, these are my key approaches for learning multiple languages.

If you are an aspiring polyglot or just maintaining a bunch of languages, this is what you can use as well.

Number one, tier your languages.

Do not treat every language in the same way.

You can rotate your focus.

So it could be two active languages, three maintenance languages, and swap that around.

I usually do that in a monthly system.

So for three months, I'll focus on two languages actively.

And then for the next three months, I will swap it around and take the passive languages and shift them up to active.

Number two for your passive languages, input is non-negotiable.

Try and do at least 30 minutes a week of reading or watching content.

It's also really crucial that you listen and read at the same time.

Use transcriptions, scripts, subtitles.

That's really, really helpful.

Principle three, structured is better than random. Have structured.

Don't just willy-nilly, randomly learn a language.

Have a list of ideas that you can implement and do those each week.

Doesn't matter when you do it or how long it takes, but have a method.

Principle number four, this one is very important.

Enjoyment equals sustainability.

If it is hard, you're suffering through it.

I mean, okay, that's how I feel about grammar.

But if you're like, I don't enjoy it, it's not going to be sustainable.

So do things that you enjoy, learn topics that you're interested in.

If a tool or resource doesn't work for you, scrap it.

Doesn't matter if everyone on YouTube says Anki is great.

This is personal experience.

Anki is, it doesn't work for me.

100

Just use something else.

101

I mean, you can use Anki, but in principle, if you don't like it, try something else.

102

If you're enjoying this video, please consider subscribing.

103

A bunch of you who watch these videos are not subscribed and it's really, really going to help my channel.

104

So if you want to see more languages, more videos about language learning, productivity, mindset, travel, design, whatever, please subscribe.

105

Thank you.

106

So for your active languages, you can read based on your interests.

107

For example, for Korean, I like to read brunch.kr.

108

This is a kind of like culture, art, tech blog.

109

And you can also get a few medium articles in French, maybe Spanish.

110

For Japanese, there's also satori reader, which has a bunch of stories.

111

And then a ton of languages have like news in slow language.

112

And then principle five is track your languages, but don't obsess over it.

113

You don't need the most perfect plan and schedule.

114

You don't need to study every single day.

115

Consistency is just building a habit where you're doing it a few times a week.

116

You can have a weekly checklist, you can have a language journal, even a spreadsheet or something on Notion.

117

And really all you need to do is, did I touch this language?

118

Did I engage with this language?

119

Yes or no. You don't need to how many minutes or how many hours you did passive active.

120

I used to do that.

121

It was fun.

122

I got cool data and charts from it, but I'm old and lazy now.

123

So my habit tracker just has like the languages listed

124

and like tick tick tick if I've done anything in the language no matter how small.

125

It feels nice.

126

Myth or question number one.

127

Do I not feel guilty when I just leave languages in passive or maintenance mode?

128

Yes and no. I've identified that guilt is one of the worst things you can have in language learning.

129

It kills your motivation, you compare yourself, and you just get sad.

130

A few videos ago, I made a video about language guilt, and you guys responded really well to it, saying, oh, this was really what I needed to watch.

131

So if you haven't seen that video, it is this one.

132

But some days I only do passive maintenance, and that is fine, because it's better to do something in a language instead of doing nothing.

133

Like I've said, I rotate my languages based on importance.

134

Obviously, Hungarian is a main focus for me now before I move, whereas Spanish, not so crucial.

135

Another question you may have, How do you choose which language goes into each tier?

136

Active focus will be languages related to travel plans, career, maybe relationships you have, work, your current passion.

137

You pick the ones that feel the most important, the ones you are most likely to engage with and use often.

138

Active maintenance languages are ones that you already have a strong base in, that you're not just going to forget if you leave them,

139

but you don't need to actively study every single day.

140

And passive, you also need a good foundation.

141

I'd say about B1, B2, maybe A2.

142

Doesn't really matter as long as you feel comfortable to some extent

143

and you can converse because it's in maintenance mode so you don't want to forget if you just know the basics.

144

These are ones that you might have a cultural interest in and ones that you're okay with maintaining slowly.

145

Your progress is obviously going to be much slower in these languages so you have to make peace with that fact.

146

Think of it visually in this way.

147

Active learning is going to be a steep improvement curve and maintenance is kind of going to go like that.

148

Another question, what if I only have 30 minutes a day total and not one hour?

149

Very normal.

150

Same.

151

I try and do an hour or a few hours a week, but I do be tired and many days I only also have half an hour.

152

In that case, you can have one active language and the rest are passive.

153

You can implement 20 minutes of active studying and 10 minutes of passive learning, or you can kind of pile it up and not do something every day,

154

but you can spend weekends doing it actively.

155

So passive can be whatever amount of minutes each evening if you're reading or watching something, and then active can be on the weekends where hopefully you have more than half an hour.

156

Long-term view, zoomed out view, I'm still doing something each month in a language.

157

It is better than nothing.

158

I am not a perfect polyglot who studies every single day.

159

So to close off, remember that active learning is for growth and maintenance is just for retention.

160

So if you're an intermediate learner, a polyglot, try this system and let me know if it works for you.

161

If you have a different system you would recommend, drop it in the comments.

162

And thank you so much for watching.

163

I appreciate you being here and I'll see you in the next video.

164

Bye!

الانطباعات الأولى

في هذا الفيديو، نجد نهج تعلم اللغات الذي يستخدمه المتحدث بطريقة مثيرة للاهتمام. يتحدث عن كيفية إدارة خمس لغات، ولكنه يركز في دراسته على لغتين فقط. هذا الأمر يجعله مثالاً جيداً للمتعلمين الذين يسعون لتحسين مهاراتهم اللغوية. أسلوبه في تنظيم الدراسة واستخدام الوقت بشكل فعال يوفر نموذجًا يمكن أن يستفاد منه العديد من متعلمي اللغة الإنجليزية.

تحليل العبارات

لنفكك بعض الجمل من الحوار ونستعرض لماذا تبدو طبيعية. على سبيل المثال، يقول المتحدث: "بدلًا من تخصيص 10 دقائق لكل لغة، يجب أن نتعامل مع كل لغة كهدف منفصل." هذه العبارة تعبر عن فكرة مهمة حول تخصيص الوقت بشكل فعال، مما يساعد المتعلمين على فهم أهمية التركيز. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، يقول: "بدون مدخلات ومخرجات مستمرة، تتلاشى الكفاءة بسرعة أكثر مما تتصور." هنا، يستخدم تعبيرًا شائعًا يوضح فكرة أنه من الضروري ممارسة اللغة بشكل منتظم.

روتين الممارسة

يمكن إنشاء حلقة بسيطة لتكرار وتسجيل العبارات من الفيديو. ابدأ بتكرار الجمل التي تسمعها بصوت عالٍ. يمكنك اتباع الخطوات التالية:

استمع إلى الجملة بعناية.
كرر الجملة بصوت عالٍ، مع محاولة محاكاة النغمة والتنغيم.
سجل نفسك أثناء التكرار.
استمع إلى التسجيل الخاص بك وقارن أدائك بالأصل.

يمكن أن تساعدك هذه الطريقة، المعروفة بـ طريقة التظليل في الإنجليزية، على تحسين نطقك وثقتك بنفسك في استخدام اللغة. قم بتطبيق shadow speech في ممارستك اليومية لتطوير مهاراتك بشكل ملحوظ.

القواعد في هذا الفيديو

أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:

التركيب	في الفيديو
الجمل الشرطية if + جملة، will/would + فعل — شرط ونتيجته	If everything is fine, I'll probably
المضارع التام have/has + اسم المفعول — حدث ماضٍ ما زال له أثر الآن	I've forgotten · I've reached · I've bought
المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله	is spent · are not subscribed

ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟

التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
