Hey guys, welcome to my channel.

Today we're going to talk about building a system to learn any foreign language.

Now I'm going to use English as an example, but this system is universal.

I wish I had something like this years ago when I started learning a language.

I'm going to give you a free template.

I'm going to walk you through it.

Let's do it.

Get ready.

We're going to use a platform called Notion.

I'm an absolute fan of them.

I've been using them to run my business, run my YouTube channels, make my own notes.

And today I'm gonna show you a system

that you can use absolutely free to structure everything that's going on with your language.

Because in my case, like I get so many recommendations of what to watch, what to see, which YouTubers to follow to learn a language.

And now when I watch those YouTubers, I learn a lot of different things.

But if I write them down in just one note, I quickly forget the context and they stop making sense.

So let me show you everything.

Now let's start with goals.

Remember how I told you that it's very important to have a specific goal when you learn a language.

So think about something that makes you excited.

For example, get master's degree in the USA.

Or it could be start making money on Upwork.

And Upwork is this freelance platform where you can work with international companies.

And it's very important to have a specific date.

Let's do 2024.

Or start making money on Upwork.

For example, you want to take the first order in like August 2022, I don't know.

So make this section very specific.

And every time you would open your planner, you'd be like, oh my God, this is why I'm learning a language.

But then it's great to have big goals because they give you direction.

But in order to keep studying, you need to give your brain this extra dopamine by setting smaller goals,

reaching them every week or every month and celebrating them.

Celebrating means even like saying, Marina, you did well.

Okay, goals for this week.

For example, watch two episodes of whatever show you're watching in English and then learn fast,

perfect or learn 10 idioms.

Like something like this and goals for the month they can be bigger read a book

and like watch 10 movies in english learn

100 new words which might be too much but

if you're in this learning mode then you know why not

now once you have all of your goals right in front of you you update them every week

when it comes to weekly goals uh you update them every month when it

when it comes to monthly goals the next step is to actually get into details like how are you learning a language.

Now next in here we have your activity tracker.

I'm gonna get back to it a bit later.

This is like your board where you have columns of whatever you're doing but let me start with vocabulary first.

So your vocabulary actually consists of three sections.

Words that you're learning, phrases that you're learning and idioms, because those are different structures within a language,

and I want you to group them before you actually learn them.

So here you click new, and we have different fields that you would need to fill in.

For example, let's say reference, meaning mention or refer to provide information.

Example sentence.

I requested a reference from, oops, reference from my bank.

Then status here, you can choose from new, learning, or I already know.

Basically here, let's say you're learning it.

Because later you would be able to sort them by whatever the status is.

And if you know this word already, you would just hit I know and then you would be able to hide them

so that you don't have to repeat them all the time.

Then the topic, you would be able to add more topics here right now.

We have food, weather, business school.

Let's do business.

And the type here is words.

And so basically if you made a mistake and you put it in phrases, it automatically goes to the second category here.

So everything is automated for you.

And if you need more customization, this is why I love

Notion, you would be able to just customize everything based on your needs.

You would be able maybe to add like verbs or maybe you want to add American English phrases.

So whatever you want, you would be able to add here.

And then we also have source.

You see, source is very important for the context because when we talk about all of those...

memory training hacks, a lot of methods are actually based on associations.

So whenever you mention a resource, your brain is like, oh, it starts remembering circumstances.

It starts remembering what actually happened when you watched my video.

And you'll be like, oh, Marina had this example.

Now I remember what she meant.

So 20 useful idioms lingua Marina.

Maybe you were reading a book.

So you will create different texts for yourself.

Now let me show you something.

For For example, this reference, you're like, oh, I know this word already, and I don't wanna see words that I've learned.

So we choose filter, add a filter here,

status, does not contain, I know.

See, it disappeared, it's no longer here, but then it's actually in your database,

and if you want to calculate the amount of words that you've learned in a month, it's all stored there, but it doesn't distract you because

if you know the word you don't have to see it all the time.

Every entry can be opened as a page if you want to just dedicate more of attention to a particular phrase.

So this is the way you can see it.

White elephant no longer needed but it costs a lot of money.

This is the meaning.

Then we have the example sentence.

This office is a white elephant.

Everyone is working from home but we keep paying rent.

Then the status is new.

20 useful idioms topic we could do I don't know white elephant

it doesn't really matter it can can be used anywhere

so let's just leave it out and the type here is idiom

and then we have white collar office worker

and this is basically business let's pretend

that tomorrow you have a test for business English

100

and you're like let me remember all the idioms I've learned in business and you have like thousands of entries here.

101

Basically what you do, you just type business here and Notion sorts everything for you.

102

You have your business idioms listed.

103

Again, if you had more, you would have more.

104

But this is again, super convenient because maybe you're writing an email, a business email, and you want to sound cool.

105

I don't know.

106

There could be many reasons, but you would be able to sort them just by typing something that you need in the search bar.

107

So this is your vocabulary vocabulary 2022.

108

I remember when I started learning a language, I just had a regular notebook where I had two columns, word translation, word translation.

109

Whenever I was putting an entry into my notebook, I would be like, I wouldn't even be able to use it because there is no system,

110

there is no structure.

111

I am so grateful that

112

Notion has this.

113

Oh my god.

114

And one last thing in the vocabulary before we go into next section.

115

This database has two views.

116

We added them already.

117

It could be all words or learning.

118

So basically when you do the learning you would only be able to see what you're learning.

119

So for example here idioms you're only learning white light but then you can easily go back to all idioms.

120

This is all made ready for you again go ahead download

121

this template completely free don't forget to copy it to your own

122

Notion to be able to edit it.

123

So basically what you would need to do

124

when you open this template you click duplicate and it takes you to your own notion.

125

Now, this is your brand new system to learn a vocabulary.

126

Let me show you something even more exciting, something that you can use even if you're even not for languages.

127

This can be for any subject.

128

We're going back to a learning English page and we're going to resources.

129

Now, this is one of my favorite sections just because it could be applied to anything that you're learning.

130

Even if you're studying crypto or you're studying photography or you're studying geography, you're like, I'm getting so many resources.

131

I'm watching YouTubers, I'm watching TikTokers, and there is so much information.

132

I want to remember where it is all coming from.

133

Now here, you basically add resources that you're using to learn a language.

134

For example, you're reading this book, Willpower Doesn't Work, and you add type of content, you add a link to it,

135

and you check mark whether it's completed or not.

136

For example, I am watching this TV show called Inventing Anna on Netflix or like Emily in Paris that we have here.

137

It's serious, but we also have YouTube.

138

We also have article, movie.

139

Again, you would be able to customize everything, but it's another serious.

140

I'll put a link here and I will check mark completed.

141

And actually when I checked marked it, it disappeared because we have two types of views here, new resources and completed.

142

And if you want to see what's completed, it's going to be here.

143

There is another video of mine, how to study in the US for free.

144

And then you go back to new resources.

145

Now a perfect use case for something like this is when you're talking to your friend and he or she says,

146

you know, when I was learning English, I watched this TV show.

147

whatever like you have to watch it or you're talking to a native speaker

148

and you ask them what their favorite book is

149

and they'll be like oh you should totally read william shakespeare this book

150

and you're like okay let me type this in um

151

so this is where you collect all the resource

152

and again i don't know if you've ever been in this situation

153

but for me like this happens all the time everybody keeps recommending movies

154

and books but then in the evening when i finally have free time to watch something or read something.

155

I sit down and I can't write any notes.

156

I don't remember what people recommended.

157

Now you have a resource.

158

And Notion can be used from your laptop and on your mobile phone.

159

So pretty easy to use it.

160

Okay, so you started collecting resources.

161

Now let me show you the next step.

162

Now, for example, you started reading a book, Willpower Doesn't Work, one of my favorite books.

163

You go to this book, you click three dots, and you click copy link.

164

Then you go back to the learning English page and to activity tracker.

165

You insert this link, select mention a page, and drag it to not started column.

166

So now we have this book that you are starting to read.

167

Now when you do that, you open the tab, and we have created templates for you here

168

because it's a new book you select new book

169

and see what happens you have chapter one you have chapter summary

170

that you can fill in to remember the details you have key vocabulary

171

and you see what happens here put in vocabulary like you

172

you learn a new word from this book willpower meaning control to do something.

173

Example sentence, willpower doesn't work.

174

Status, learning, topic, whatever.

175

Type words and source here, you add another one.

176

Willpower doesn't work.

177

See, it's automatically added.

178

And then you can also add key takeaways and you can do this for every chapter.

179

Now let's close it and the most exciting thing is when you now go to your vocabulary, you see willpower is already here

180

and this way you're able to collect words from the resources

181

that you're learning and they all go to the same database and you're like, oh, I learned this word from this book,

182

this word from another book and it's a lot easier to memorize things like that.

183

For example, if you started watching a video, you embed it here and then you write down vocabulary

184

and you write down key takeaways

185

or maybe it's new series podcast here

186

we have episode one episode two again vocabulary summary key takeaways

187

now one quick thing notion is amazing in a way

188

that you can embed videos here

189

which means you don't have to open youtube step open notion tab and switch between tabs all the time.

190

So you just paste a video that you've been watching and then here you click embed a video.

191

See what happens?

192

The video is right here in your Notion.

193

So you watch it and you write down the new words and phrases that you've learned.

194

For example, you start watching a video.

195

Let's see what

196

Marina says here.

197

What?

198

Once in a blue moon.

199

When something happens once in a blue moon, that means it happens really, really.

200

So once in a blue moon, very rare.

201

Okay, we have an example sentence, for example, status learning.

202

Topic doesn't have to be here, it is an idiom, phrase, source, 20 useful idioms, lingua marina.

203

This is how you work with a video now, you just write things down while watching the video in Notion.

204

By the way, for everyone who uses this

205

Notion template, you're going to get a special gift from me.

206

There is a section on free useful resources that you would be able to use.

207

They are from LinguaTrip, free worksheets, templates, videos.

208

They will be all available in the special free resources section in the Notion template.

209

The link is down below.

210

Now, this is all very customizable.

211

I'm going to leave the link to Notion below.

212

I'm going to leave a link to this template below.

213

I am Notion affiliate, it, which means that if you ever decide to upgrade to a paid version, I will get some commission,

214

but you can also keep using it completely for free.

215

I highly, highly recommend using

216

Notion because it's just so flexible and you can build your own systems.

217

And I'm all about building systems.

218

I love building them because they make our lives so much more structured and easier, and we actually become more flexible when we have a system.

219

Thank you guys so much for watching this video up to the very end.

220

I hope it was useful, and I hope that this template will help you organize the way you learn a language.

221

See you very soon in my next videos.

222

Bye bye.

Grammatica in deze video

De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:

Structuur	In de video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — iets dat eerder begon en nog bezig is	I've been using · you've been watching
Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt	I've learned · you've learned · you've ever been
Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet	is automated · are actually based · can be opened

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 76 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals you're, I'm, don't. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

De klanken “sh” en “zh”: notion /ˈnoʊʃən/, translation /tɹænzˈleɪʃən/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/
Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, universal /ˌjunəˈvɜɹs(ə)l/, photography /fəˈtɑ.ɡɹə.fi/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, affiliate /əˈfɪl.i.eɪt/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, columns /ˈkɑləmz/, pretend /pɹəˈtɛnd/, upgrade /əpˈɡɹeɪd/, organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/
/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, translation /tɹænzˈleɪʃən/, tracker /ˈtɹækə(ɹ)/, dragon /ˈdɹæɡən/, laptop /ˈlæp.tɑp/
/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: photography /fəˈtɑ.ɡɹə.fi/, dragon /ˈdɹæɡən/, grateful /ˈɡɹeɪtf(ə)l/, upgrade /əpˈɡɹeɪd/, geography /d͡ʒiˈɑɡɹəfi/

Zo oefen je met deze video

Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als notion, resource, vocabulary.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
