They say you can learn new things at any time if you're willing to be a beginner.

And I agree.

It makes you brave, keeps you young, keeps your brain elastic.

There's numerous studies that show that those who embrace new experiences tend to have greater resilience and good emotional well -being.

Except what they don't tell you is that being a beginner can also be the most embarrassing thing of your life.

Hello!

Okay, I've been back and forth on this idea for a while now, and I think it has come to the point where I just have to commit to it.

So there is this one thing that I've always wanted to do, and it is to learn a language.

But not just any language, but my family's language.

You see, my parents immigrated to Canada from the Philippines in the 90s.

And I grew up here like any other North American kid.

Iconic.

Born here, went to school here, asked for ham sandwiches for lunch, and as a kid, I had no patience nor interest in learning to speak the language.

Wait, this is an iconic photo.

It's my Lola, my mom, and my tita literally getting off the plane in Canada for the first time.

end up learning the language.

Either way, I didn't.

And it really wasn't even a big deal to me until I got out of school.

I started traveling, seeing the world, and I think that's why you start questioning your identity a little bit more.

My frontal love was developing.

That being paired with feeling completely useless

when someone tries to speak to you in the language and you have no idea what to say back.

Top 5 worst feelings.

Honestly, if you know, you know.

But if there's a time to do it, It is now.

But wanting to learn a language is very different from actually learning a language.

Filipino is a category three language meaning it's significantly different from English.

Category three, bro.

Thank you.

I'm literally screwed.

I'm actually...

concerned right now like

when I say I am I'm a beginner like I sometimes

I feel like I speak 0 .7 language like sometimes I

can barely speak English some days like it is embarrassing how little I know

and then most of the videos

that I have watched of people learning this fast they already have some sort of background in languages

or maybe they know another language or maybe they even understand it but for me I don't even understand it as much.

I know keywords, but that's it.

Let me give you some context as to where I'm starting out.

Things I do know.

Counting to 10, the alphabet only up to letter H, most foods, just the dishes, not the actual ingredients, few swear words, and when I'm getting in trouble.

I'm not proud.

It's not that I don't hear the language either.

I hear it pretty much every day of my life.

We'd be at the dinner table and my family would talk to each other in Filipino and talk to me in English.

And it's pretty much been like that my entire life.

And same with my cousins, okay?

None of us speak the language.

We're all basically cooked.

But I've always been curious if I just really commit, how much can I actually learn Within a week.

How far can I take it?

Is it even possible?

We are literally almost at the end here I've been avoiding this for last.

Well almost last so in other words I'm starting from ground zero.

So here's this Buhay means alive.

Life.

Buhay!

means life, buhay, means alive, I thought Bahai means like...

how?

Isbahai.

It's gonna be a long week.

It's day one officially.

According to all the videos that I've watched, I should start with learning the most popular 1000 words.

So we'll go from there.

So after scouring the internet, I decided to loosely base my plan off of this framework.

Phase one would be learning the top 1000 words based off

of the 80 /20 rule to get me familiar with the vocabulary.

Phase two will be learning sentence structure, tenses, and going full immersion with music and shows.

And at the end of the week, I'll be tested in conversation by my very own mother.

I know

that there's no way I could become fluent in such a short amount of time based on where I'm starting out

but my goal is to at least be conversational.

Enough to get by.

Okay.

Okay, so maybe I do know just really really really really basic words.

I went through my first flash card set, 22 words.

And honestly, I knew most of these, you know?

If I didn't know exact translation, I've at least heard the word before.

Also, this is just the first 22 words I've heard, so...

I have a hunch that there is another reason why I never learned any language, and that is because I am painfully shy.

I never was a kid who liked popcorn reading or giving presentations, and that has not changed much at all.

So even the thought of talking out loud in another language

is a whole other thing I know I'll eventually have to get over if I want to see this through.

I thought this would be the easiest part but it's so long.

I actually know more words than I thought, which is, Quite reassuring, but it's frustrating because I wanna start using the vocabulary, but I only know the word for things

but i don't know how to formulate a full thought yet i honestly can't wait to get to that part

and i just want to be done i just want to

be done the vocabulary i am around 800 words in i have two 200 more to go oh my god

so i am just gonna try to beast it so i can move on to the next

I'm at a loss for words, loss for words, loss for words.

I got nothing to say anymore.

I'm at a loss for words, loss for words.

I got nothing to say anymore.

I'm at a loss for words, loss for words.

I got nothing to say anymore.

I'm at a loss for words, loss for words.

I got nothing to say anymore.

100

I'm at a loss for words, loss for words.

101

I got nothing to say anymore.

102

I got nothing to say anymore.

103

I got nothing to say anymore.

104

I'm had a loss for you .

105

Maganda umaga bayan!

106

Today is the day that we finally get into conjugations.

107

I have been wanting to get to this point for the past three days And now we're here.

108

So we are entering the second phase.

109

So now that I know the words for certain things, now it is time to learn the in between words that I can string my thoughts together.

110

It is time.

111

So I quickly found out that I am indeed not a textbook person.

112

They'd probably be better for long -term study, but I ended up finding some videos online that were way easier to understand the basics.

113

Shout out to Tagalog Time with Pat,

114

she was holding it down. which was extremely helpful.

115

Learning a language is such an emotional rollercoaster.

116

One minute I think I'm doing good and the next feels like,

117

"What the heck?" Okay, I'm learning and my head hurts. But we're getting there.

118

For the next couple of days I continued on while also starting to say things out loud.

119

Okay, this is a text message I sent to my mom.

120

I was working on my work.

121

I ate spaghetti.

122

Para tangalihan.

123

Accent is so cooked.

124

But that was from memory.

125

Okay, that was from memory.

126

and my favorite which was immersing myself more in the language.

127

So I found this playlist.

128

Literally, it's called Filipino songs to scream to and honestly straight up bangers on this.

129

I feel like it's good to find songs you want to belt out to, but you will not be hearing me sing in this video.

130

I did not get that gene.

131

yummy yummy Growing up in North America,

132

I think everyone's relationship to their culture is a little different.

133

I'm going to go ahead and put it in the middle.

134

I never felt removed enough to entirely question my background.

135

But I also had my fair share of moments I felt inadequate to.

136

My culture was a big part of my life growing up, especially through food and family and traditions.

137

But when people ask me where I'm from, or meeting someone so naturally in tune, that's usually when I feel the distance the most.

138

I can understand parts of it, but never all of it.

139

It's such a nuanced thing.

140

Some people grow up fully fluent, some don't, some people feel a strong gap, some barely feel it at all.

141

And I feel like I'm sitting somewhere in the middle.

142

Moments of disconnect never felt super obvious or dramatic.

143

It's more like not fully knowing what I'm missing.

144

But I know there's some things that I don't have access to, and layers to this I don't quite have the words for.

145

But I guess it doesn't always have to be like that either.

146

Good morning, people.

147

My final test.

148

is tomorrow and honestly i think we can do good we can we can salvage this

149

seeing as though this was my last day to study i

150

had to put all my reservations behind me no matter

151

if i previously felt shy to practice speaking out loud the plan was just to focus

152

and review what i already did know up until that point and hope for the best

153

Oh, the color test.

154

OMG.

155

Today I'm going to ask my mom to test me and we can see my knowledge until now.

156

I'm impressed with how much I've learned.

157

However, I am shy to literally showcase it to all of you

158

because what's impressive to me may not be impressive to you.

159

I studied until pretty late last night.

160

I also recorded myself saying these phrases.

161

So let's see how much I've with more confidence.

162

I hope for the best.

163

I told her to have some questions to ask me.

164

So we'll see what I can do.

165

We'll see.

166

I have my notes in front of me just in case, but I am going to try my best to not look at my notes at all.

167

Don't believe it.

168

Come on, stag on.

169

- I'm going to put my mouth on the phone.

170

- I'm going to put my mouth on the phone.

171

So in this moment, I unlocked a whole new kind of exposure therapy trying to converse with someone.

172

It took us a while, but we eventually...

173

locked in.

174

How's your day?

175

Okay.

176

I'm at 10 :00 a .m.

177

at the day.

178

Don't tell me.

179

I'm eating a meal for dinner.

180

That's a tank of history.

181

Yeah.

182

Then I'm working at the office and I'm studying Tagalog.

183

Ooh!

184

How is that good?

185

I'm like going through my memory like, "Oh my god, what are these words?" from most of it.

186

Even though my replies were pretty rough, the more I was speaking, the less I felt intimidated.

187

Just a little bit.

188

I like this.

189

I like this.

190

Obviously, so far from being perfect.

191

What's your favorite Filipino food?

192

Cinegan.

193

Wow.

194

Salmon.

195

I don't know how to say salmon. But...

196

Also, Kind of getting it.

197

We went to Aria, to our house.

198

We went to a scene.

199

Aww.

200

Ultimately, I think once you actually break the ice and are okay with sounding bad and making mistakes, Learning a language, especially your families,

201

actually becomes kind of fun.

202

You're tired.

203

My tired.

204

My tired.

205

My heart hurts.

206

I'm tired.

207

Well, that was fun.

208

Honestly, I'm just so surprised and I'm really happy with my progress.

209

I know that it is far from perfect, literally so far from perfect.

210

However...

211

This is the most Tagalog I have I've ever known in my entire life, literally entire life.

212

So, It's still a big deal to me.

213

It is a massive, massive step up from what I started like a week ago with.

214

So I feel like it was such a nice way for me to like bond with my family over.

215

And once they knew that I was super serious about it, then they were 100 % supportive.

216

So I'm not a bilingual queen just yet.

217

But one day, but one day.

218

Hope you guys enjoyed seeing that.

219

I know it was painful a little bit probably if you know the language.

220

Accent, real bad, but it's fine.

221

Salamat po for watching.

222

Oh gosh.

223

Must say uncle.

224

road to take?

225

Who told you that it was too late?

226

Mmm.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
