Hello, today I thought we could do a longer speaking video like a podcast in English to practice listening to natural English.

So I'm going to speak at the normal pace

that I would speak if I was speaking to a friend or somebody I know well.

Often I find myself slowing down the pace at which I talk so that people can understand me.

And this is because in my own experience, when I've been learning a language, often I don't understand the first time somebody tells me something.

So I do appreciate it when people slow down their pace

and the rhythm with which they're speaking so that I can understand.

But I know as well that for more advanced or intermediate learners,

that this becomes a little bit futile after a while because you want to speak natural English, right?

So if somebody is always slowing down what they're saying, then it's not natural.

And it can be infuriating if people continue to speak to you like a child, almost.

So today I'm just going to speak at the normal pace that I would speak, like I said.

And I thought that would be an appropriate topic to talk about learning languages in general.

So as I say, it's helpful to hear the natural rhythm with which people speak.

And another thing that I think is always very helpful is to hear multiple different voices,

to hear different accents so that you become used to different voices

and how the language actually sounds when people are really speaking it

and you're not just listening to a book designed for beginners for example

so um to talk about my experiences learning languages I've always liked listening to audiobooks um

when I first start learning a language I'll obviously look for A1

or A2 content and if I need to I'll listen to it a couple of times

or maybe I will slow down the pace with which people are speaking.

It depends on the book, it depends on the language, it depends on how challenging I find it.

If it's easy then obviously I don't want to listen to it on repeat.

This goes with films as well.

I recently read that one of the best ways to really learn from watching films is to watch it about three times.

One time with no subtitles, just the audio in your target language then try with the subtitles in the target language as well

and then finally

if you still don't understand to use the subtitles of your mother tongue of your natural language apparently

this is a more effective way of learning than just watching it

with the audio in your target language and reading the subtitles apparently this is not very effective.

I don't know.

I'm just repeating what I've heard, but I can believe it.

I do see why that might be the case.

For example, like if I'm watching a foreign movie, like a Korean film, I don't know any Korean.

So if I'm just reading the subtitles in English,

I start to just tune out the real audio like it doesn't go in I'm purely reading

if that makes sense

so I do think it's better maybe it activates your brain a bit more it engages your brain

so that you really understand

and you take the time to process what you're both listening to

and reading at the same time anyway I think

that movies can be a really effective way to learn a language for sure um ultimately

I think the best way to learn a language is to choose the method

that works well for you people have all different kinds of learning styles for example

I um I think I learn best when I hear something

if somebody explains it to me and I listen to it

or if I listen to a podcast this helps me a lot more than uh than visual cues

but for some people visual cues are really important

they they won't learn the vocab they don't learn from flashcards unless there's a picture

and something you can associate it with in your mind

um so it depends on the person it depends on your language style or your your learning style sorry

um so everybody has their own method and

if you don't know yet then you need to just experiment

with different things maybe one thing is really helpful for you and another thing is not helpful and that's a game.

You just need to go through trial and error and see what works well for you.

That being said, as a teacher, I think that it's important to kind of hit all aspects of a language,

to spend some time on grammar, spend some time on vocabulary, do reading, listening, writing, speaking, hit all four of them.

Maybe if you prefer to read, dedicate more time to reading and less time to writing whatever works well for you

but I do think it's important to hit all four skills

at some point in the week which brings me on to another thing i want to talk about

and that's how much time should you spend learning a language

i think again this is highly individual some people have a

lot of free time some people can maybe spend three hours

a day learning a language some people have a full -time job some people have a family

and they can't commit to an hour a day

and in this case i think you know 15 minutes a day is perfect

it's progress it's the same with anything in life like any sport any hobby

if you spend 15 minutes a day doing something proactively then of course over time it builds up

and it amounts to something and you will see progress even

if you're maybe frustrated in the beginning

that you can't dedicate more time to this pursuit ultimately doing something is always better than doing nothing

so if you only have five minutes a day to learn vocab than do it

because five minutes is better than zero minutes.

For me, I have obviously noticed a bigger change if I've dedicated three hours to learning a language a day.

I've noticed bigger progress.

For example, the first language I learned after my mother tongue was Italian and for a long time I didn't have...

I was studying so I didn't have a lot of time to dedicate to learning Italian

and I was frustrated because it felt like so much time was passing

and every year I had the same goal to improve my Italian

and every year I was always so disappointed because I didn't feel

or notice a big difference and then one summer I spent three

or four hours a day studying Italian

and it was great

I noticed a really big amount of progress in a relatively small amount of time however I burnt out

because it wasn't really sustainable as soon as I started

I went back to my job as soon as I went back to my studies

and I had a full schedule I didn't have time for three

or four hours a day of studying a language you know as educational

and beneficial as it is it's a hobby and you still have to work you still have responsibilities

so in the long run it wasn't um maintainable for me

and so what actually happened was I crashed out for a month for a month I did no Italian

so overall my progress in two months was the same as it was in one month

because I yeah I spent a really long amount of time working on it for one month

and then I did nothing

and in this case I think it would have been better to have spent maybe an hour a day

or 30 minutes a day every single day doing something instead of having

this one period where I did a lot

and then followed by another period where I did nothing like I say

100

so ultimately as of everything discipline is really crucial

101

when it comes to learning a language

102

because learning a language can be fun I I find it fun that's now why I like to learn languages

103

because it's very rewarding.

104

I feel very proud of myself when I make progress in a language.

105

I love to be able to communicate with people in different languages and I think you discover so much about yourself.

106

Your personality changes or if you talk about a topic in one language and talk about the same topic in another language,

107

sometimes you realise things that you didn't realise the first time round.

108

Like you can almost see it from a different perspective.

109

I don't know if this is real or not, this is just my experience,

110

but sometimes if I talk to myself about a situation in English in my head,

111

sometimes I feel very emotionally about the issue and I'm not really able to look at it logically.

112

I'm too emotionally invested, but if I start to explain the situation in its bare bones in another language,

113

like Italian for example then maybe I'll become less emotionally attached

114

and I can start to see it more rationally see the situation as it is without the embellishments of emotion or attachment

115

and that's really helpful

116

that's an important skill to be able to think critically to be able to think rationally is

117

so important and I think it's something

118

that language learning really um permits you to do

119

so I think it's important for this reason um

120

which is kind of in itself as well a good way of learning a language

121

I think by speaking to yourself by um cooking

122

and explaining what you're doing in your target language or

123

if you're in the shower talk about your day in your target language

124

and your process um um you'll process everything

125

that you've been thinking about all day which is good for you anyway

126

but also it's great practice because you'll be using the words

127

that you need in your target language and if there's a word

128

that doesn't come to your mind you can't think of something

129

or you don't know how to explain something then that's the thing

130

you need to learn now you know what specifically what vocab you need to learn

131

because it's all very well learning like a thousand most common words

132

or 3 ,000 words to get you to level B2, that's fine.

133

But if you're not using those words often, I guarantee you, you will not remember them in the long term.

134

So it's better to, I think, better to learn the words that you will use to talk about your day,

135

to talk about subjects that are interesting for you, than to learn a lot of vocabulary that you're not actually going to use

136

and you're not actually going to remember so that's my opinion on

137

that realistically I think that learning languages has so many benefits

138

and very little cons I think the cons

139

you could really just call challenges like time commitment is a big is a big challenge

140

because like I say everybody has commitments everybody has work so sometimes it's difficult to put time aside for a hobby

141

and also another challenge is

142

that it's not always easy to learn another language for example with grammar grammar can be

143

so boring and if you're not somebody

144

that likes grammar to force yourself to learn these grammar rules about another language can be really demotivating

145

it makes you think I don't want to continue with this anymore it's not interesting for me

146

and especially if you couple of this if you couple this with the idea

147

that you've not been feeling like you're making progress recently

148

then it can be really um really difficult quite like it puts

149

you down it makes you feel like you are not clever enough to learn a language

150

which of course is silly

151

because learning a language is not about how intelligent

152

you are anyone can learn a language babies learn languages

153

it's nothing to do with intelligence I think

154

it's purely about exposure how often you hear this language how often

155

you use this language that's why I think people that people

156

that live in a country

157

that speaks their target language will learn the language more quickly than somebody who is learning the language

158

but are not surrounded by the language on a daily basis

159

and I always think of it as like

160

if you live in a country where your target language is spoken

161

you've really been thrown in the deep end like baptism by fire is a difficult situation

162

and first to adapt to for sure but ultimately i think the most rewarding

163

and the best method for learning i also think language courses can be really um helpful as well

164

because you have the incentive that you've paid money to do it

165

so um not only have you dedicated your time

166

but you've also now dedicated your finances to learning something

167

and I think that when you have

168

that kind of commitment it makes you more motivated to learn

169

and more dedicated to the task at hand so I do think

170

that those are two really good methods in the future for me personally

171

I would love to to maybe save up and then spend three

172

or four months in a country where I'm learning the language

173

and maybe working online or maybe go to a language center there

174

and learn the language as an experiment for myself see how much progress I can make in

175

that time that's really a goal of mine for sure um

176

in terms of other ways of learning languages like uh language learning apps are very popular

177

now I don't know how effective these really are I think something is better than nothing

178

if you spend five minutes on Duolingo that's better than zero minutes doing anything

179

so obviously I can support that

180

but for me for me I don't think they're the best

181

I think I spend too much time on my phone anyway to to excuse using um language apps

182

I it's really boring

183

but books are the are a really good way to learn either just reading a book

184

or studying grammar from a book

185

or making vocab lists from a language course book is boring

186

but it's the traditional method and it's been used for centuries

187

and there's a reason why because it works so I think

188

that this is a good way of learning as well some apps

189

I think can be useful I used to use Busuu

190

which was essentially like a language course in app form

191

so for the same reason it would teach you like a grammar lesson then it would give you a vocabulary lesson

192

the same as if you were doing it with a grammar book.

193

So I think that that was quite effective, but there were gaps.

194

I don't think that it explained the grammar rules very well.

195

Like I kind of could memorize the answers to the questions it gave me

196

or memorize some structures but not really understand how it works or why it works or anything like that.

197

So it was good.

198

It was good, but it wasn't great um yeah

199

and I'm not sure

200

that same with things like AI AI makes mistakes now maybe in the future it will be better

201

but AI does make mistakes so it's difficult to know um

202

if what you have done is actually correct or if uh

203

if it's has more mistakes in it and AI just isn't showing you yet

204

so it's a little bit problematic I think some of the traditional methods as boring as they are do work

205

and they have stood the test of time for a reason.

206

I also think that communication, real talk with a native speaker can be so insightful and so helpful for language learning.

207

I think it can be daunting at first.

208

The first time I spoke in another language with

209

native speakers of that language was terrifying because I know

210

that I'm making mistakes and I feel embarrassed

211

because I sound like a child and I don't want to sound like a child.

212

I want to sound like me I want to be able to express myself

213

and say what I want to say without not knowing the word

214

but it's natural it's part of the progress nobody speaks a language fluently from day one

215

it's impossible I think it's so revealing of your character

216

if you can spend the time and have the motivation

217

and discipline to learn a language by yourself

218

and then have the confidence to talk to people to native speakers knowing

219

that maybe your grammar is not perfect

220

or maybe you want to use a better word than big

221

but you don't know the word it's it's daunting it makes you feel very vulnerable

222

so I think you have to have a lot of bravery

223

and a lot of confidence to do it

224

and I feel very um proud I guess or I admire people

225

that learn languages um because I think it's a really good skill to have

226

and I think it like I said it reveals somebody's true colors

227

if they can do a challenge like that by themselves

228

so with that being said I hope

229

that this has been useful to practice listening to real um real English being spoken at my natural pace

230

I've not tried to alter anything maybe some of it is a bit challenging maybe you need to listen to it twice

231

But hey, that's part of the process.

232

I would need to do exactly the same thing too in a different language.

233

It's completely normal, completely human.

234

If you would like to see more videos like this, please let me know.

235

I will try to make some more longer videos to practice comprehensible input

236

because I think this style is really useful for learners.

237

It's useful for me when I'm learning. But that's everything.

238

So I hope you have an amazing day.
