Language learning.

Indeed, it's quite simple, but we often complicate the task.

But it's mainly about having interest, therefore on the part of the learner, and putting in the time. That is to say, time with the language, not by reading explanations of the language you want to learn in your mother tongue, but rather listening, reading, getting involved, therefore spending time with the language.

It's very simple, and I recently saw an article on the internet about the deplorable state of language and foreign language learning in Brittany.

And he's right, there's a shortage of teachers, a lack of obvious usefulness in learning foreign languages.

Well, yes, maybe.

And I thought a little about the situation in Canada where most English-speaking students who are not in the immersion system, therefore in the normal system, do not learn French.

In principle, most people can't express themselves in French, despite the fact that the government spends billions of dollars to make Canadians more bilingual.

And ultimately, the only bilingual people are those who are interested in the other language, whether it's French or English, or who see a great use for it.

And this is more the case for French speakers in Quebec or even French speakers outside Quebec, and even English speakers who live in Quebec. But otherwise, it's difficult.

Yet, I like learning languages, and even the same thing.

I looked a little on the Internet.

In Belgium, French speakers are not that interested in the Dutch language.

Flemish. So, even if they need it, for example in Brussels, to find a good job, it seems.

Often, they can't express themselves in Dutch because they don't see much use for this language.

You can't create interest in another language.

I know this because I learned my language, more or less to different degrees, but still, I'm interested in languages, I'm interested in different cultures, etc. But you can't force people to be interested, but you can take advantage of the abundance of information that there is on the Internet and all the modern technologies that allow us to use and take advantage of the interests that I or other learners may have to convert all kinds of content and all kinds of information and In computer science, in matter, in content to learn languages. As I did for example, I'm very interested in history.

I found a site called Herodotus Herodotus, history where there are a lot of very interesting videos on history, on genetics, etc. Well, I can by copying the URL of one of these videos, I can for example either import it directly into the site that I use, that is to say Link.

Yes, because here, let's say that I have enough vocabulary in French, that I don't need to do this for my French.

But to illustrate how it happens with a click, I have a lesson, I have a lesson in link to learn the words there, which I could add to my vocabulary.

I would have the possibility of listening, reading and getting used to this language, structure, etc. Which relates to this kind of subject.

But on the other hand, I can also copy the URL and put it in our skin Kélèm, which is a type of intelligence system artificial, and create a podcast and dialogue in any language, in Spanish, in Japanese, in any other language.

I've done it several times for Persian for example.

So I create something that is interesting to me, that is more or less at my level because it is a dialogue created by our BLM, are less difficult and at a slightly slower speed and a little more.

It was a discussion, so it's more lively than the monologue in the video.

The original video.

And so I can import through a site still there on the internet, which can convert the MP4 to MP3.

Which allows me to have a lesson at LingQ with transcription where I can learn the words if needed, either in Spanish, in Japanese, in Persian, in any language.

It's incredible.

So finally, even this video that I'm creating there, in French, it's been a long time since I spoke French. So I'm going to do, I'm going to create, make mistakes, it's not a big deal.

You have to have humility if you want to learn languages.

But if someone wants to take the URL of this video and convert it into a discussion, a five- to six-minute dialogue in Russian.

In Persian, in Japanese.

All of this is doable, and so there are so many possibilities now that teachers who are not necessarily specialized in language teaching can use the resources that exist on the Internet, that is, content about things of interest to learners, and convert them into any language.

So, which languages?

So, a teacher who is not specialized and who does not master a particular language can still help their students learn these languages.

Because ultimately, language learning is not a question of mastering anything at the beginning; it is a question of enjoying listening and reading things more or less at your level that are of interest to you, and trusting the learning process.

And eventually, if you were interested, learning more about a few points of grammar.

Today, all of this is available, we just have to look up pronouns in Italian, or whatever, and we find all the information we need when we are interested in these questions.

And there is no need to get hung up on it, I have to master certain elements of grammar, otherwise I will never be able to learn.

No, it's the opposite, we have to get used to the language to be able to later do more in-depth research on questions that interest us.

A question of grammar, a question of vocabulary or whatever .

So that's language learning, this question of interest, of time.

And the process is a process of adaptation, of getting used to it rather than a process of deliberate learning according to a few basic principles that we absolutely have to learn before we can move forward, etc. And it 's not that kind of thing either.

In English, we say gamification, that is to say, making it more fun.

Learning through simplistic formulas doesn't work.

Neither does punishment.

We need, based on the learner's interest, content of interest that encourages us to spend the time necessary to get used to a new language.

And that's why I say it's simple, all you need is the interest and the time.

Thank you. And now that it's been a long time since I've spoken French, you're going to criticize me, and I accept all criticism.

Thank you, goodbye.
