In today's video, I'm going to be sharing my tips for anyone who is studying a foreign language, especially as an adult.

Why the hell should we listen to you?

You're not an expert.

True.

I am neither a professor nor an expert in languages, but let me give you a little bit of background regarding my language learning journey.

So I'm Australian.

My dad is Australian.

My mum is Thai.

I was born and raised in Australia and my native language is English.

I grew up only speaking English.

When I was a child, my mom tried to teach me Thai and I distinctly remember me being like, this is the worst time ever and I do not enjoy this at all,

which resulted in me never learning Thai growing up.

Then at the magical age of 20 slash 21, I thought to myself, you know what?

I think the best thing for me to do right now would be for me to learn Thai and Japanese.

At the same time, I studied Japanese at university

and I studied Thai privately and it was actually kind of funny

when I was at university I took a linguistics unit

which was just about like linguistics and language in general no specific language

and the professor was explaining

that in a human's life in terms of the development of

the brain there's kind of two prime periods of time where

it's a lot easier to learn languages the first period is from

when you were born until you're like an older child

and then the second period is from when you're just about to go through puberty and you're becoming a teenager.

I think it ends around like 15 to 16 years old.

Anytime after that, your brain is like less inclined to just absorb languages through listening

and you have to actually manually study languages.

So 21 year old me at the time was like, well, that's great.

I picked the best time in life to start picking up two languages.

That being said, it ain't impossible because look at me now.

I'm not a native speaker.

I mean, I'm nowhere close to reaching like native levels of fluency, but I have managed to achieve an adequate level in both Thai

and Japanese to a level that was good enough where I can act in both languages on television.

So that's kind of something.

Anyway, what I'm saying is I have experience.

So I want to share my experience learning two languages as an adult, share the mistakes I've made,

the lessons I've learned, and hopefully it can make your language learning experience a lot smoother than mine was because, whew, did I make some mistakes?

So the tips I'm going to be sharing today, a lot of them can be applied to any language you are learning.

But like I just said, I specifically learned Thai and Japanese.

And I know a lot of you guys who watch my YouTube videos are learning either Thai or Japanese.

So some of the tips will be specific to those languages.

By the way, all these tips, they're just my opinion.

These are not based on scientific facts.

I have not done research into these.

These are just things that I've learned from my experience of learning languages.

The first tip that I want to give you guys today is it's important to identify your goals.

What I mean is why you're learning the language and what you want to use it for.

And also, it's good to be specific with your goals.

Like for example, if your goal is to speak Thai, it would be really good to identify at what level you want to speak Thai.

Because you don't need to speak a language perfectly or fluently to be able to communicate in that language.

In my particular case, I wanted to act in Thai on TV.

So I had to be able to speak Thai at quite a high level.

Otherwise, there would just be no roles for me to act because there aren't very many foreign roles.

I did get some foreign roles, but they're very few and far between.

But you know even within foreign roles They still expect you to speak a relatively high level of Thai

Because if you're speaking Thai on TV

and the people at home can't understand what you're saying It kind of defeats the purpose I guess

But for example if your goal is to just be conversational

And just be able to speak a little bit of Thai

on holiday Then you can set like your goal here

If your goal is to be able to use it at work Then obviously you need to set it higher

If you want to be an actor then you'll need to set like a higher bar

But identifying that is also really good too

Because you can save yourself a lot of stress If you just want to speak some Thai on holiday and be like, hey, like, where's the toilet?

Or like, where can I catch a taxi?

Or something like that.

It's fine if you make mistakes as long as you like get the main point across.

You get the key words and you can pronounce them correctly and get them across.

Your grammar doesn't need to be perfect or anything like that.

But, you know, the higher you set your goals or the higher standards you want to set for yourself,

it's going to require more time and most likely a higher depth in terms of the details in your study.

In my particular case, when I was studying Japanese at the beginning to just be able to read manga in Japanese

Shoujo manga, manga that's like marketed towards like young girls It's a lot easier to read than manga like shounen manga

or like seinen manga Just because the language that they use is totally different In shoujo manga, it's like just everyday talking like high school is just talking and things like that In shounen manga,

no one talks like

that in real life A lot of the vocabulary they use is like stuff that you won't find in everyday conversation

So if I only wanted to read shoujo manga, then you can achieve that level quite early on.

If you want to read more like adult stuff.

Hey, listen.

Hey, get your mind on the gutter.

I don't mean like erotica.

I mean, you know, more adult stories.

The grammar is going to be harder.

The vocab is going to be harder.

So you're going to need a higher level of Japanese or whatever language you're studying for that case.

So yeah, identifying those goals early.

So you know what you're striving for is also really good

because I think your goals will be surprisingly a lot more achievable

and you'll be able to achieve them faster than you think, which is really cool.

If you can identify what learner you are, like for example, I like to write things out and remember every minor detail and aspect,

then you can find the studying process that suits you the best and it's gonna make the learning process a lot smoother.

For example, for me, the reason why I wanted to learn Thai was

because I wanted to be an actor and act on TV.

So to be an actor, I needed to be able to speak Thai, understand Thai, so listening.

Reading and writing Thai, I guess, wouldn't have been 100% necessary, but it makes the whole thing a lot easier

because I have to read scripts and communicate with people in Thai through written mediums like texting and stuff like that.

So for me, it was necessary to learn all four aspects of the language.

Whereas for Japanese, kind of embarrassing, you know, weeb tendencies or whatever.

I just really liked manga and anime.

100

And if the only thing I got out of my Japanese study was the ability to read manga in Japanese

101

and understand it all.

102

That was good enough for me.

103

That being said, I went down the same route.

104

I did reading, writing, listening and speaking, and it's come in handy because now I can speak Japanese and I can continue working as an actor even in Japan.

105

So that turned out really well.

106

The reason why I think it's important to identify your language learning goals, especially as an adult learning languages, your time is limited.

107

So if you just want to learn how to speak and you want to understand Thai when it's spoken to you, but you don't really care so much about reading and writing,

108

you can devote that time to other things or better yet, devote it to practicing your speaking and listening skills.

109

Also, you might be kind of thinking like, how can you learn a language without learning how to read and write it.

110

In my experience, I've actually met quite a few people like that, especially in the entertainment industry.

111

I've met foreigners who can speak Thai fluently, understand Thai, can't read it, can't write it, which I thought was pretty amazing.

112

And just by the way, if you're wondering how these actors who can't read or write Thai memorize the script, there's two ways.

113

One, the script gets written out in like karaoke, so the sounds are written out in English alphabet, or someone records it for them and they listen to it and memorize it that way, which is amazing.

114

I couldn't do that, but it works for them.

115

And whatever works for you is the best.

116

And on the flip side, I used to be really into following a lot of manga translators that translate manga from Japanese to English.

117

And surprisingly, there were quite a number of translators who can't speak or understand spoken Japanese, but they're like elite at reading and writing and also translating, which is their job.

118

So in this particular case, their main goal is to be able to read because that's what they wanted to do with the language for their job.

119

So they were able to devote their time to reading skills as opposed to speaking

120

and listening which I guess these are all like pluses, but it doesn't serve their main purpose of studying the language.

121

So I think that by setting clear goals in what you want to achieve with learning that particular language, it's gonna help study the language in a lot more of an efficient way, especially time management wise.

122

The thing is like when you learn Thai, especially at the beginning, me coming from an English speaking background where we have like intonation, but it's like not fixed tones like in Thai,

123

it's really hard for your ear to get used to it.

124

So a lot of the times you think you're saying something right, but you're actually saying it wrong.

125

I've had my teacher look me in the eye teach me a word

126

and I'll say it back to them

127

And I think I'm saying exactly the same way they are

128

and they're like no It's like this and I was like I know what it is.

129

That's what I said They're like you didn't say it right now.

130

I was like I did I didn't I was making a mistake Big mistake

131

and this is the kind of things that only

132

Native speakers can help you identify when you speak your language the different nuances or native phrases

133

that you're just not going to be able to pick up unless you're speaking to a native speaker.

134

So being able to communicate and practice the language you're learning with a native speaker of that language, I really think is the most valuable experience as a learner, for sure.

135

The thing is, in my particular case with Thai and Japanese, compared to all the languages spoken throughout the world, these are not the most common languages.

136

And I know like depending on where you live, it might not be the easiest thing in the world to

137

find a native speaker to practice the language you're learning but your boys got your back.

138

This video sponsor, italki, helps to connect you with native speakers of over 150 different languages.

139

I think that learning and practicing languages with native speakers is really invaluable for anyone studying foreign languages.

140

I wouldn't recommend you something that I don't think is worth your time or money.

141

So I tried using italki myself.

142

First of all, it was really easy to use.

143

All you need to do is pick the language you wanna learn, find yourself a teacher, book a lesson in one of the available time slots,

144

and you're done the great thing about italki is

145

that you pay per lesson it's not subscription based

146

so you can book lessons at any time to fit around your life

147

and your work schedule there's also a huge number of teachers

148

and tutors available on the platform

149

which makes it really easy to find someone who fits your language needs

150

so for example what level of language you're at

151

and also particular topics that you want to study

152

and most importantly you should be able to find someone who

153

fits your budget the other day i took a lesson with eric she teaches thai to foreigners

154

and she teaches japanese to thai people i already speak thai

155

and japanese but i wanted to use this opportunity to ask someone else who teaches languages for any advice

156

or tips that they have for people learning foreign languages especially thai

157

I can be a fan or a friend or a friend, or online, and listen to the music.

158

I can be very important to hear the language of Thai language.

159

So, I don't have to use my friends, I need to use the language of Thai language, so that you can use Thai language to get the music.

160

It's important to use the language of what you can use.

161

It's not possible to use the language.

162

I can't do it.

163

I think it's hard to learn a language.

164

That's so hard to learn a language.

165

We learn Italian.

166

We know that Thai is hard to learn.

167

Because we can't learn Thai.

168

But we need to learn Thai language.

169

I think we should learn Thai language.

170

We like Thai food, have a good lifestyle.

171

And we can have a good soul.

172

We can stay together.

173

Yes, it's a new one before I learn.

174

It's all about the language.

175

Some people just speak a lot of times because they love Thailand.

176

So we have to be in my mindset.

177

$5 for your very first language lesson and this is only available for the first 50 users.

178

So if you want the extra $5 Better get using that code.

179

Thank you

180

so much I talk you for sponsoring the video one question

181

I get a lot from people who are studying Thai they

182

asked me how do I get better at speaking Thai when you think about it?

183

It's kind of straightforward the only way in my opinion

184

that you can get better at speaking Thai or any language is by Practicing and speaking the language out loud

185

Like if your goal is to speak the language fluently

186

and you spend all your time like studying the grammar learning new vocab

187

Or even like you spend all your time like watching like BLs

188

or Thai dramas and stuff like that

189

If you're not actually speaking the words with your mouth and practicing

190

and trying to construct sentences I don't think it's gonna work

191

out even though you might be fluent in all the other

192

things Unless you're actually like producing the sounds with your mouth

193

You're not like gonna magically be able to just speak it one day Which, you know, honestly, it would be really cool.

194

I wish life was like that, but I don't think it is.

195

Unless it is, but I don't think so.

196

But if it is, tell me.

197

No, no, no. But it's probably not.

198

Listen to me.

199

No, I'm just joking.

200

But 100%, it sounds straightforward, but the best way to get better at whatever you want to do is just by doing it repetitively.

201

Definitely your best friend is repetition.

202

Just getting the reps in.

203

It's like going to the gym, just doing a lot of reps of the same thing to get stronger at it.

204

For me personally, I feel like language is like a muscle.

205

The more reps you get in, The stronger and better you'll get so pick what you want to do do it

206

and do it a lot of times I mean yeah, that's applicable to everything in life I know like what I'm saying sounds kind of straightforward

207

But I wish I had someone tell this to me back

208

when I first started studying languages that would have been really helpful so yeah, hopefully what I'm saying has some kind of value and Don't worry about making mistakes

209

Because you will make mistakes and it will be embarrassing

210

and most likely very funny So you need to just embrace the embarrassment, the cringe and just move forward because you're only going to learn by making the mistakes.

211

Like that's the thing.

212

It's like when you're speaking languages, you're communicating with other people.

213

So you can feel very exposed.

214

Like it's not like something that you practice in private because, you know, like language is a communication tool.

215

So you need another person to use it with if you're just using it by yourself.

216

I mean, I'm speaking to a camera right now by myself, but I'm speaking my native language.

217

So I'm pretty confident, especially at the beginning of learning languages.

218

I was very self-conscious and I didn't like making mistakes.

219

It was embarrassing and quite like disheartening, especially if someone laughed.

220

But like when you kind of think about it, it's pretty funny, especially like sometimes when you make like really like stupid mistakes

221

or like you mix up words or like you mix up grammar

222

and like you change the meaning of what you were trying to say.

223

It's funny.

224

So yeah, just embrace it, be brave and get over it.

225

It sucks at the beginning, but you'll be fine.

226

Like later, like when you make mistakes, you just be like, yeah, you know what I it doesn't really matter kind of thing

227

also regarding getting better at speaking specifically yes do speak as much as you can and

228

when it's possible always try to practice with native speakers especially

229

early on i think that's definitely one of the things that's helped me the most picking up languages is conversing

230

and trying to communicate with native speakers specifically for thai thai is a language with five tones

231

so depending on the tone even though you're saying like the same word

232

when the tone changes the meaning of the word can change

233

and this is super important on to the next tip I

234

think it's really important to identify what kind of learner you are

235

and what I mean by

236

that is using myself as an example I'm like an analog human being what I mean by

237

that is I like to know everything

238

and just do it a bunch of times like for example

239

when I learned Thai which is tonal one thing that helped me remember words is is remembering how they're spelt.

240

So all the words that I can use like in the Thai language, I'd say I could write like 95% of the words.

241

I don't know why, especially like when I'm trying to remember the tones because in the Thai language, the tones are like written into the language.

242

So when you see a word for the first time, even if you don't know what it means, you can read it out loud.

243

That's just the way the language is.

244

It's not like Japanese or for example, Chinese that uses characters.

245

Like if you've never seen a character before, Maybe you can make an educated guess, but chances are you just won't be able to read it.

246

Whereas in Thai, it's a lot like English where you can see the sounds.

247

And in the case of Thai, the tones, it's all written on the page so you can read it out loud.

248

So when I'm speaking Thai, I find it very useful to be able to remember how the word is spelt.

249

So I remember the correct tone when I'm speaking.

250

But that's what works for me.

251

This is not what works for everyone.

252

And I think it's really important to identify what learning process suits you the best.

253

This is the kind of cool thing with languages is because it's kind of artistic in a way.

254

Oh my god, languages, art.

255

I'm kind of taking the piss, but what I'm saying is the same method of study doesn't suit everyone.

256

Just referring to the example before, I've met people who are fluent in Thai, can understand everything, but can't write or read a word.

257

For me, it would be impossible because that's just not the way my brain works.

258

But obviously for these people, I would say that they work a lot more off feeling.

259

Well, first of all, they have really good ears to be able to pick up tonal languages without like writing anything down

260

But I think it's more of a vibe thing They just learn from feelings interacting with people

261

and picking up languages that way, which is like awesome for them I could never do that

262

because I would just like make mistakes all the time

263

And also I wouldn't be able to remember anything for me

264

writing things down makes it enter my brain more easily Like when I was studying japanese, I would just write characters like a hundred times I don't know why I thought it was really fun.

265

I mean it was fun.

266

I didn't think it was fun.

267

It was fun I just repeated the crap out of everything until I could remember.

268

It's very time consuming, but I haven't found anything that works better for me so far.

269

It's another kind of trial and error process.

270

But I think if you can identify the type of study that works the best for you, it's going to make your language learning journey a lot smoother for sure.

271

All right.

272

So now I'm going to get a little bit more specific about Thai and Japanese.

273

Don't ignore intonation and tones at the beginning.

274

please do not I did it with both Thai and Japanese

275

and after having learned it for a while now I have to go back

276

and fix it all and it's just it sucks

277

and it just takes more time than it should have

278

so with Thai you really want to master the five tones as early as possible

279

and it's not just being able to speak them it's training

280

your ear to be able to hear them as well after speaking Thai for a

281

while you'll actually get to the point where you can start picking up on your own mistakes

282

which is the best because then you can fix yourself without having someone to tell you

283

and the only way to train your ear is by listening a lot

284

and speaking a lot you know coming from an english-speaking background

285

i was kind of just like hey it'll be fine like

286

it'll be fine like it like like i'm speaking the language

287

it'll work out it probably won't you really need to buckle down

288

and learn those tones early be strict with yourself about getting the tones correct

289

because you don't want be like me and be like a year

290

and a half in

291

and have someone be like your tones are right like 30 to 40 percent of the time

292

and you're like what but no one said anything

293

and they just kind of like yeah no one said anything

294

but um I'm telling you now

295

and you kind of like thanks I did the same thing with Japanese

296

so Japanese is not tonal in the way

297

that Thai is it doesn't have tones written into the words like in the alphabet

298

but it's like English you know like for example

299

if we say computer we have the stress on pew it's

300

not like computer computer like you know what I mean like there's a natural way to say things

301

and an unnatural way to say things this was not on my mind at all when I was learning Japanese.

302

I always thought to myself, I was like, oh, thank God.

303

Japanese doesn't have that intonation, that pesky intonation like Thai.

304

It does.

305

It has intonation and stresses and things like that.

306

And I just started acting in Japan from August last year.

307

The first thing that I was in was a musical called New Prince of Tennis.

308

And I got the script and we started practicing.

309

and I was like, I'm pretty good at reading Japanese.

310

I got this shit.

311

And I was like, oh.

312

And then one of the English speaking members of staff came up to me

313

and some of the other foreign actors who were in the cast and were like, did you wanna just like go through your lines?

314

And I was like, oh yeah, sure.

315

Like, is there something I need to fix?

316

And they were kind of like, well, like all of it.

317

I was like, all of it?

318

All of it.

319

So I had to go back and like relearn all the intonation for all these words and that sucked.

320

That was a really big eye opener.

321

Since then, I've also like appeared in some like TV dramas

322

and I'm in a musical again this year I'm improving at fixing my intonation a lot faster But

323

if I had started all of these things way at the

324

beginning I wouldn't have to be putting in all this extra time now to fix all of my mistakes

325

So for learners of Thai, get your tones down the five tones master them early.

326

I actually used to make uh languages teaching Thai on this YouTube channel There are a few reasons why I stopped.

327

One of them is because the more detail I go into teaching Thai, the longer and longer the videos become.

328

I myself am not a native speaker, so I'm not like 100% confident in being able to teach it without making mistakes.

329

Like I can teach very basic things.

330

I'm confident in teaching basic vocab and basic phrases

331

But the longer you study Thai the more detailed

332

and intricate it gets and it was just a little bit too much for me to handle

333

And also my channel was like kind of like more about

334

me I wasn't like trying to be like the Thai learning channel

335

because there are plenty of those already But I just wanted to make something

336

that could kind of get you kick-started

337

and a few little things you could use Especially if you're interested in like Thai BLs and stuff like that yeah, I just wanted to make some fun and hopefully easy to understand educational content.

338

But another thing was like being able to match it with the goals of my viewers, because some people don't want to learn how to read or write.

339

They just want to learn how to speak it, which is also fine.

340

But trying to accommodate my teaching style

341

and video format to meet everybody's needs was also just a little bit too much for me.

342

So that was like another factor into why I kind of stopped.

343

For learners of Japanese.

344

The thing is with Japanese is that we didn't learn intonation at university.

345

Like that wasn't like part of the course because it's not an easy thing to teach, but there are a lot of great resources out there, especially on the YouTubes.

346

There are some Japanese people who teach intonation.

347

For me, I actually joined Dogen.

348

He's a American YouTuber professor, I think, who is fluent in Japanese.

349

He made a very comprehensive course on Japanese intonation

350

And he has a patreon so I joined that

351

so that's what I've been using as my resource to fix my Japanese intonation

352

And also just you know trying to be more aware of it in everyday life

353

And my ears are getting better at picking up Japanese intonation is not the best yet

354

But it's way better than it was before this is the thing like having lived abroad for a

355

while I've met a lot of people who are

356

Multilingual some people just watched a lot of cartoons in other languages

357

when they were younger as a kid just picked it up

358

Which is awesome and I'm super jealous of

359

because it would have saved a lot of time

360

But like I said before like

361

when you're an adult your brain just doesn't suck all the information in as easily as it used to

362

So you have to kind of put in the time

363

which is rewarding But also kind of sucks like getting language learning burnout.

364

I've had it multiple times.

365

It sucks It's a lot of like hours and and and and and elbow grease Determination power of will nah,

366

but you just really need to Try really hard.

367

I mean I could have just said that yeah, I mean try really hard guys.

368

I know a lot of the tips or advice that I've been giving out today, they sound pretty obvious to me,

369

but I mean, these are my experience looking back on them.

370

Yeah, I guess they're obvious, but I kind of feel like if someone had told me these things way earlier on, then I could have saved a lot of time now.

371

So that's kind of why I wanted to put this video together.

372

Don't be slack at the beginning of your language learning journey.

373

Be tough on yourself and be detailed because all the lack of detail now, like, yeah, like you can move forward faster at the beginning,

374

but it's going to come back to bite you in that sweet, sweet booty later on.

375

But like I said at the beginning, I mean, it depends on the level that you're trying to achieve as well.

376

I'm trying to speak Japanese at a level where I can act in it, appear on TV and have it not sound too weird to native speakers of the language.

377

But if your goal, you know, is just to speak a little bit

378

when you come on holiday then you don't really need to

379

worry too much about it it's coming full circle now going back to identifying your language learning goals

380

but learning language as an adult in life is one hell

381

of a challenge it ain't easy i found it a very rewarding experience

382

because being to converse with people from all around the world

383

from different cultures different countries in their own native language it's really fun

384

because a lot of things get lost in translation oh my god that's

385

so cheesy dude shut the hell up

386

but it's true it really is true that's why there's a

387

movie anyway what i'm saying is speaking to someone in their second language

388

and being able to speak to someone in their native language

389

it's like a whole different experience you can like get a

390

better understanding of like people's personalities you get a deeper understanding of

391

that country's culture as well which is really awesome it's super rewarding honestly super hard

392

Per chi è questo video?

Questo video è perfetto per chi, adulto, vuole imparare una lingua straniera (soprattutto thai o giapponese) e cerca consigli pratici basati su esperienza reale. Se hai paura che sia troppo tardi per iniziare o se vuoi definire obiettivi chiari senza stress, qui troverai motivazione e strategie concreta. Ideale per chi cerca imparare l'inglese con i video o migliorare le sue abilità di comunicazione in altre lingue.

Parole e modi di dire da rubare

Nel video, ci sono espressioni utili per parlare di apprendimento linguistico: "adequate level" (livello sufficiente), "specific with your goals" (specifici nei tuoi obiettivi) e "act in both languages" (recitare in entrambe le lingue). Queste frasi sono utili per descrivere i tuoi progressi o chiedere consigli. Ricorda: anche piccoli espressioni possono fare la differenza nel tuo shadowspeak!

Come migliorare la pronuncia inglese

Per ottenere un accento più naturale, il video suggerisce di concentrarsi sul shadowing: ascolta frasi brevi, ripete immediatamente dopo il parlante, cercando di imitare l'intonazione e il ritmo. Usa un shadowing site per esercitarti con video come questo, dove la pronuncia è chiara e conversazionale. Non preoccuparti di essere perfetto: l'importante è comunicare. Con la pratica, il tuo shadow speak diventerà più fluido e confidenziale. Ricorda: anche gli adulti possono raggiungere un livello sufficiente, basta definire obiettivi specifici e non mollare!

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
