Hey, it's Meredith with phoneticfluency.com and welcome to another episode of the Fluency Habit Podcast.
2
I want to take a moment to say thank you
3
so much for all of the positive feedback on the first two episodes on YouTube.
4
They're available on YouTube but also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
5
But on YouTube when you leave a comment or like the video, this really helps it reach other people
6
and all of the positive feedback helps me understand
7
that this is something that you guys like and enjoy and value so that I can keep making more content like this.
8
So if you could leave a like or comment on this video as well, I would really appreciate that.
9
Let's go ahead and talk about today's video, which is how to teach yourself a language.
10
If I were to include a byline, it would be how to teach yourself a language.
11
It always takes more than one resource.
12
And you'll see why I say that later in the video.
13
I want to start with a certain mindset that a lot of people have about language learning, which is that you need a teacher and you're the student.
14
And the teacher is the holder of knowledge.
15
So everything they tell you is how you learn the language.
16
They're the one with the knowledge and they have to impart this knowledge on you, therefore teaching you and that's how you're going to learn the language.
17
I'm not saying that you don't need a teacher because you do need a teacher, but this particular mindset is the problem.
18
Learning in this way leads to failure.
19
Let's talk about how most people learn in this kind of philosophy of language learning, which is that, okay, you decide, I want to learn a language.
20
So you're like, I want to learn French.
21
I want to learn Spanish.
22
I want to learn Italian, whatever.
23
So you go find a teacher, maybe a group course, maybe one-on-one, but you find a teacher, you buy the textbook, you buy a brand new notebook and some cute pens,
24
and you show up to class and you pay attention and absorb what the teacher tells you.
25
You know, whatever the teacher writes on the board, you write it down in your notebook.
26
You pay attention, you take the notes, and then at the end of class, the teacher is going to say, okay, study this, and this is your homework.
27
So now when you go on your own the rest of the week, the rest of the week you study, but your study is limited specifically to what you saw in class.
28
You practice via homework, but this practice is limited to what you saw in class
29
and very likely is something that's very visual.
30
So reading and writing rather than actual use of the language.
31
The result is that you don't spend nearly enough time with the language as you need to
32
if you actually want to advance quickly and become fluent in this language.
33
You advance very, very slowly.
34
You're moving along at a snail's pace.
35
At a snail's pace in English means slowly.
36
So you're moving slowly.
37
You're moving at a snail's pace.
38
And in my opinion, this way of learning keeps you from the actual fun part of language learning, which is using the language.
39
That's the actual fun part.
40
And when you learn in this way, usually it keeps you from getting to participate in that fun part.
41
So you're not really having that much fun.
42
It feels like a task.
43
It feels like a homework.
44
And so you're going to eventually lose your motivation and possibly stall out in your language learning journey.
45
Stall out is another phrase in English that means kind of like, like when you are trying to move forward and you kind of just can't.
46
So you stall out.
47
Or possibly even worse, you continue studying the language for years and years and years and years.
48
And then even after years, you can't really properly use the language.
49
You're not a fluent speaker of that language despite years of time that you've spent studying it.
50
So the flaws with this mentality, this way of viewing language learning, is number one, an over-dependence on a single source of information.
51
That is your teacher.
52
You view the teacher, again, as the one with all the knowledge.
53
And so that's your source of everything that you're going to do related to the language.
54
And their job is to transfer that knowledge to you.
55
So you're depending too much on one single source.
56
And the other part of the flaw with this mentality is adopting a passive student role in your learning.
57
The teacher is the teacher and their job is to teach you and you as a student, your job is passive, which is just to receive the information that someone else has given you.
58
And this is entirely the problem.
59
So let's talk about a new philosophy that you need to adopt
60
if you really want to actually learn quickly and get to the fun part and become fluent in another language.
61
Let's start with what actually is true.
62
The previous mentality.
63
What is true about that is that the language comes from outside of you, your native language.
64
You've been using it for long enough that it's inside you.
65
But if you're learning a foreign language, that language isn't in you and you need to somehow do a lot of speaking practice to get it out.
66
The language exists outside of you and to be able to master it and start using it yourself.
67
First, you have to absorb it from outside of you.
68
So that is true.
69
And the other thing that's true is you do need a a teacher.
70
But here's where the shift is.
71
The teacher is only a part of your process.
72
What you're going to do if you really want to teach yourself a language
73
and do it more quickly is build a large toolkit of resources
74
that you use for your learning and the teacher is only one of these.
75
They're a major part of it, but they are not the guide through your whole language learning journey.
76
If you take away only one main idea from this episode,
77
is that learning another language must be active and self-directed by you, not by your teacher.
78
And you will rely on no one single resource.
79
You're not going to ever be able to fully learn a language to fluency using only one single resource,
80
whether that's an app like Duolingo or a course or a teacher,
81
there's never going to be just one thing that's going to bring you from beginner to fluent.
82
I like to think of language learning like crossing a river on stepping stones.
83
So imagine you're on this bank of the river
84
and you look across to the other bank and that's where you want to go.
85
And it looks really far away and you can see that there's some stones in the river that you can walk across, but you don't really see a clear path.
86
Some of the stones look kind of far apart, especially as you look further out into the river, you see stones that are really far and you're like, oh my gosh, what am I gonna do when I get there?
87
The problem is you're not even on the first stone
88
and you're already looking at the 50th stone and wondering how you're going to handle it once you get there.
89
So what we need to do is come back to only the thing that's directly in front of us
90
and focus on that.
91
And the stones in this analogy are your language knowledge.
92
Here, you're a beginner on this bank of the river.
93
The other bank of the river is fluency or mastery of this language.
94
And the stones are your language knowledge.
95
So when you are on the first couple of stones, this is your basic conversation kind of knowledge.
96
So you have some basic vocabulary, you know how to conjugate verbs in the present tense.
97
So you can have like a really rudimentary conversation with someone in this language.
98
And as you're having this conversation, you realize like, oh my God, this conversation is very limited because I can't conjugate in the past tense.
99
So that's how you identified your knowledge gaps.
100
Your knowledge gap is the past tense.
101
I can't even tell this person what I did yesterday because I don't know how to conjugate in the past tense.
102
So you learn the past tense and now you can step onto the next stone.
103
So you've advanced just a little bit further in your language learning journey.
104
And that's how you teach yourself a language.
105
You constantly discover what your knowledge gaps are
106
and you fill them by learning the information you need to learn
107
and you continue progressing forward the thing about this is you
108
don't rely on your teacher to do this this is something
109
that you do yourself
110
so in this old mentality the teacher is the guide the teacher is the holder of knowledge
111
and you're the student and
112
so the teacher is the one whose job is to make you learn the language right and
113
so you don't ever look on your own where's my knowledge
114
gap what's the next thing I need to do you just rely on the teacher for that so
115
when we shift this mentality now the onus onus means like
116
responsibility the onus is on me as the learner to say okay there's my knowledge gap
117
and now I need to fill it the teacher is going to greatly help you in filling the gap
118
but it's not their job to identify the gaps the way
119
that I see language is made up of three pillars
120
so it's a knowledge thing and the three pillars of knowledge that you need to really master another language are vocabulary,
121
grammar, and phonetics.
122
The reason that my brand exists is because we already have plenty of information
123
and courses and education out there about grammar and vocabulary.
124
There's like a million teachers and a million courses who will teach you English grammar and English vocabulary,
125
but for whatever reason, phonetics is this pillar of language learning that is treated as disposable, as optional, as something that you don't necessarily need to do.
126
But in reality, you do.
127
You need to have all three to truly be fluent in another language.
128
You need to have good grammar, good vocabulary, and good phonetics.
129
So if you have one, but not the others, if you have a lot of vocabulary, but you can't conjugate verbs and your phonetics is really bad, you're not fluent.
130
And on the other hand, if you have two, but not the other, like if you have excellent phonetics and you know how to conjugate verbs, but you have no vocabulary,
131
you can't even really form a sentence because you don't know the vocabulary to do so, so you're not fluent.
132
The same is true if you are very fluent in vocabulary and grammar, but basically level zero phonetics.
133
This is how people end up having a very high theoretical fluency, like the knowledge of English or whatever language is very,
134
very, very strong, but their verbal fluency is not at a hundred percent because when they speak, they don't have the correct phonetics.
135
And so people don't understand the things that they're saying in order to be really fluent in a language all three.
136
And as you advance across the river using your stepping stones, filling your knowledge gaps to get there, you are going to interact with all three of them in different ways.
137
But the first stone, the very first step that you take when you start crossing the river, has to be phonetics.
138
Think about how babies learn their first language.
139
When they are little and tiny and can't say anything, they don't understand what language is or how it works, but they can still start making sounds.
140
And they make sounds and the people around them react to those sounds.
141
And so So they start tuning their ear and creating sounds
142
that are used in the language that will become their native language.
143
So as adults, when we start with phonetics as our very first step, you set a foundation for correct pronunciation later on.
144
In my last video, I said that reading is a waste of time.
145
Obviously, context is important.
146
And what I was saying there is that reading is a waste of time only in the very beginning.
147
Because if you have not mastered phonetics,
148
then reading prematurely can create incorrect letter to sound mapping because you're already using a writing system in your native language.
149
And if you're speaking one of the languages that I mentioned in this video, like English or Spanish or French or one of these languages, you're probably using the Latin alphabet.
150
So these letters already have a phonetic meaning in your language.
151
So if you start reading before you've mastered phonetics, you're going to incorrectly make connections between letters and sounds in your language instead of in the new language.
152
So this is going to set you up for reading incorrectly and pronouncing incorrectly.
153
So reading prematurely is the problem, not reading in general.
154
So you need to start with phonetics and that's exactly what I did with Spanish.
155
The way that I did this was I went to the Wikipedia page for Spanish phonology.
156
So you can just Google Spanish phonology.
157
The first thing that comes up will be the Wikipedia page for Spanish phonology.
158
And this is true for most languages.
159
You can Google Italian phonology, Portuguese phonology, and you'll find the Wikipedia article.
160
And on that article, it will give you charts.
161
You don't necessarily need to know how to read these symbols, which are the IPA, International Phonetic Alphabet.
162
You don't need to know how to, but it would be very helpful if you did.
163
So I learned bit by bit as I was going.
164
So some of them are the same as the letters that you would expect them to be.
165
Some of them are different.
166
But anyways, the point is you'll see these charts, and if you click on the symbol, it will take you to an article for that specific sound.
167
And you can click on the audio file and listen to it over and over and over.
168
So if you're learning Spanish and you're an English speaker, you're probably not used to saying these short vowels without movement.
169
So for example, A, A, E, E, E, E.
170
And so that's what I did.
171
I clicked on all the sounds of Spanish, not just vowels, but all of them.
172
I was like, okay, like listening to the audio file, repeating it.
173
I was like, okay, all right, I think I can make my voice sound like the voice that I'm hearing.
174
So through mimicry, through my ears being the tuning fork to see
175
if the sound coming out of my mouth sounds like the sound that I'm hearing, I was able to start mimicking those sounds.
176
And then after that, I started listening to slow Spanish.
177
And this is with no comprehension.
178
Of course, I was able to comprehend things that are cognates or things I had heard or picked up from, you know, just exposure to Spanish, but I wasn't really aiming for understanding at this point.
179
I was aiming for exposure to the oral language.
180
So I learned the sounds with Wikipedia.
181
And then after that, I started listening to Spanish.
182
I was like, okay, I'm like hearing this.
183
Okay, yeah, uh-huh.
184
Okay, I can see how they're using these sounds that I learned.
185
And at that time, I started to do a little bit of shadowing.
186
Once again, accuracy at this point is not important because I don't understand anything, but I'm making sure that I understand the sounds I'm hearing and that my mouth can also make those sounds,
187
the Spanish sounds, not sounds of my native language, English.
188
And doing this only takes a very short amount of time.
189
Like it depends on what language you're learning, but in my example of learning Spanish, it took me a couple of days.
190
And then after that, I Googled, you know, Spanish spelling phonetics or something like that.
191
And then I can find, okay, like in Spanish, the letter, you know, S makes this sound and the letter C makes this sound in this situation, but in this situation, it makes this sound.
192
And so I'm like, okay, you know, now I know the sounds.
193
Now I can see the letters.
194
Now I can see how they connect.
195
And so my brain can do correct letter sound mapping in Spanish.
196
And so at that point I was ready to move on.
197
Again, not a long process.
198
So the second stone I'm ready to step on now is vocabulary and a little bit of beginner grammar.
199
Imagine that someone comes up to you and says to you, me late flight, where location airport at?
200
None of that is grammatically correct, but you know what they wanna say.
201
They wanna say that they're late for their flight and they're asking you where the airport is.
202
Zero percent grammar, but 100 percent comprehension, right?
203
The problem is in traditional language learning, most of the time in the first class, it's like, okay, take out your notebooks and write down to be, and then you start conjugating,
204
I am, you are, da, da, da, da.
205
This imaginary guy who came and asked you where the airport is because he's late for his flight, he didn't know how to conjugate to be,
206
but he had vocabulary, and so he was able to express an idea to you.
207
So that's why vocabulary is more important than grammar in the beginning.
208
At this stage in my learning journey, now that I had correct letter to sound mapping in my brain,
209
I went on EnkiWeb to the shared deck section and I searched 2000 most common words in Spanish.
210
And I found a deck and I downloaded it and started studying on Enki.
211
I've mentioned Enki probably like a million times already, but it's truly like one of the biggest tools in my toolkit for language learning.
212
I'm gonna make a video about it soon, but what you need to know is Enki is a flashcard studying app,
213
but it uses spaced repetition so you don't see cards that you already know over and over and over again.
214
If you've told Enki, I know this word, it's gonna stop showing it to you.
215
So I started studying the 2000 most common words in Spanish on Enki, and I did not wait until I was finished with that before I started moving on to the next stone,
216
taking my next step, which was grammar.
217
And for grammar, I used multiple resources.
218
In my case, I used a book called Easy Spanish Step-by-Step.
219
I used the free audio course Language Transfer, which is available at languagetransfer.org.
220
I also used SpanishDict.com, which has changed its name to SpanishDictionary.com, and StudySpanish.com.
221
The thing is, the specific source is not relevant or important
222
because this video should be useful for you regardless of what language you're learning.
223
So it doesn't really matter.
224
I'm using these same techniques now that I'm learning Portuguese.
225
Obviously, the websites and books and whatever, They're all different.
226
But the important thing is that for learning grammar, I found resources that I liked and that worked for me.
227
Now I have, you know, a starting point on the vocabulary.
228
I've started, I haven't memorized all 2000 words, but I've started.
229
I've started to build up my vocabulary with this.
230
And now I've learned a little bit of grammar.
231
And in my case, I decided to wait until I could at least have very basic conversations before adding in a teacher.
232
You might wanna add a teacher from day one and that's absolutely fine.
233
In my case, I just, I don't know, I just kinda wanted to at least be able to say something before I had a teacher.
234
So that's what I did.
235
I found a teacher, a Spanish teacher, a one-on-one Spanish teacher on italki.
236
And I started having lessons with him twice a week.
237
Nowadays, I would not find a teacher on italki because, um, well, italki is not really a fair place to be a teacher these days.
238
I've taught on italki before.
239
And nowadays I just would rather the money go directly to the teacher that I am working with.
240
So that's why for my Portuguese teacher i found him via his youtube channel
241
but anyways going back five years ago
242
when i was no six years ago now
243
when i first started learning spanish i found my teacher on italki
244
and started having classes two times a week with him
245
so you can see how the first step was phonetics
246
and then these next rapid succession couple of steps were all about vocabulary grammar
247
and then finding someone to practice with
248
so this is how you start building your resource toolkit as
249
i was learning Spanish my resource toolkit included between 10
250
and 20 resources at any given time of
251
which my teacher was one of those in my particular Spanish
252
learning routine what I did was every week I was having
253
classes twice a week I'm adding my own personal cards to
254
my Anki set every day I'm drilling my Anki set
255
and completing it every single day in addition to
256
that I was doing constant internal narration
257
so at the time I was living in the United States I live in Mexico now but at
258
that time i was living in the u.s to be kind
259
of immersing myself in spanish constantly i was narrating my life in spanish
260
so every little thing i'm kind of thinking about like oh i'm gonna be late let me just grab this
261
and uh but before i leave i need to eat i'm like oh how do you say breakfast in
262
that moment i would grab my phone and add to enki breakfast
263
and then put the word in there so that means
264
that i am finding my own gaps in knowledge
265
and i was instantly filling the gap
266
and putting it in a place where I know I'm going to be reviewing it again, which is my Inky set.
267
So I'm making that knowledge stay with me permanently.
268
In addition to that, I was listening to the language transfer course, not every single day because it moves very quickly and it's very dense.
269
It's an amazing course, but the grammar concepts that they go through are quite heavy.
270
I guess you could say it's like not something you can move through very quickly
271
because you need time to kind of absorb what you've just learned.
272
I listened to it at least twice all the way through
273
And I would often go back to different episodes and listen to them again as needed.
274
In addition, this I was doing every day, consuming content in Spanish, YouTube videos, podcasts, whatever it was in Spanish every single day.
275
And at least a little bit of shadowing, like you don't need to sit down and do 30 minutes of shadowing.
276
In fact, I think that would be too much.
277
But I would listen for several hours a day, like put in my headphones and listen while I was doing other things.
278
But the actual shadowing, I would do at least, you know, maybe 10 minutes a day of shadowing to help me internalize the rhythm and intonation of Spanish.
279
The narration in my head, like constantly having my internal monologue going on in Spanish, and the classes, which were conversation practice,
280
those are the two things that are helping me find my knowledge gaps.
281
And then I fill the knowledge gaps via my resources.
282
So that's all these different websites, podcasts, whatever, and also my teacher.
283
That's how I fill the knowledge gap.
284
So I discovered the vocabulary word I didn't know.
285
I learned the grammar concept I didn't know how to use.
286
And then I would drill them.
287
So if it was a vocabulary word, I would add it instantly to my Anki's.
288
That means every day I would start drilling that word until I learned it completely and didn't need to see it anymore.
289
And if it was a grammar concept, I would read an article online on one of these websites that I mentioned, and then I would go find like a quiz and make sure that I understood it correctly.
290
So in this way, that's how I always continued advancing
291
and finding the next stone I needed to step on in
292
order to keep making my path across the river of language learning.
293
So for Portuguese, just like any language I have learned or will learn in the future, I always start with the same first step, which is of course phonetics.
294
How long you spend learning the phonetics should be relatively short, but it could be longer or shorter, just depending on the phonetic complexity of the language that you're learning.
295
So for example, Spanish has a very low phonetic complexity.
296
There's only 22 phonemes, depending on the variety of Spanish that you're learning.
297
And for the most part, one letter equals one sound, with some exceptions, and that's it.
298
So for Spanish, it didn't have to take a very long time to master
299
the phonetics before I was ready to move on to the next thing.
300
With Portuguese, on the other hand, it did take me more time.
301
So it took me a little while to master nasal vowels.
302
So I had to spend time using a mirror
303
and a flashlight looking into my mouth and learning how to control the vellum
304
which is the thing that makes the difference between an oral
305
and a nasal vowel so this took me a little
306
while to master and then also i was reading articles about the letters
307
because in portuguese one letter might make one sound in one position
308
and it might make another sound in another position
309
so i spent uh you know several weeks learning portuguese phonetics before i moved on to the next step
310
if you don't spend enough time here on the phonetic step you will advance forward in understanding without proper pronunciation
311
which will cause problems down the line
312
when it comes to actually communicating in your language
313
and then i started listening to portuguese even though i didn't understand it i understood things
314
that were you know similar to spanish incognite
315
so i could pick up a little bit but true understanding very low
316
but i was listening to portuguese in order for my ear to start picking up on the sounds
317
that i just learned in this first initial stage with wikipedia
318
and so on I would also start doing some shadowing
319
and kind of seeing okay can I make my sound make sorry can I make my mouth make the sounds
320
that I'm hearing here and Once I felt very confident about that.
321
That's when I moved on to the next step, which was of course
322
Vocabulary via Anki I found a common word list
323
that someone else made and I set it up in Anki
324
So that there's a voice that will automatically read these words out loud
325
Because I want to make sure that I'm learning them with correct pronunciation pronunciation
326
because the pronunciation or the phonetics is a little bit more complex than in Spanish.
327
For example, acontecer.
328
So I hear it.
329
So that way I'm studying it with correct pronunciation.
330
So building up my vocabulary, I need to build a lot of vocabulary because grammar doesn't matter that much when it comes to very rudimentary communication.
331
I just need to have a lot of words at my disposal.
332
And then also, of course, starting with vocabulary or starting with grammar rather.
333
And in this case, I started with Pimsleur
334
because sadly there is not a language transfer course for portuguese um
335
but anyway i started with pimsleur
336
and then i found a teacher once again my teacher is
337
not my number one resource for all of my learning he helps me find the gaps
338
that i have in my knowledge he helps me fill them
339
and helps me identify them so that i can fill them on my own
340
so for example in my last class i realized
341
that i had to say to him like 10 different times
342
so i had to say to him many times like how do you say this verb in the past
343
so i was like I was like, obviously I need help with the past tense.
344
So he gave me some homework and some resources, which are great, but then on my own, I went on Google and was like, you know, app for studying Portuguese verbs conjugations or whatever.
345
I found a website called Linguno, but the specific website doesn't matter.
346
It's more about me being able to go on my own
347
and find a resource that helps me fill the gap that I have identified.
348
And so I found this app and read the articles like, okay, when it's like this in the past, then this is the, whatever and then started studying through the drills.
349
So that's how I'm building my grammar knowledge thanks to discovering the gap in my knowledge with my teacher.
350
Also sort of relevant, I mentioned earlier
351
that nowadays I would not find a teacher on a website like italki
352
because I don't wanna give money to italki or Preply or any of those sites.
353
I wanna give my money directly to the teacher, the one who's doing the work.
354
And I found my Portuguese teacher via his YouTube channel, which is called Teach Yourself Portuguese.
355
And it's specifically because of this philosophy says that in one video
356
or another that like it's called teach yourself portuguese because
357
really it's you who are doing the teaching his youtube channel
358
and him as a teacher are like a a tool helping you do
359
that i thought that was pretty cool so that's how i view language learning
360
and that's how it applied to me learning spanish
361
and that's how i'm applying it now to me learning portuguese
362
so when i started learning portuguese i was on this bank looking across to the other bank
363
which is fluency i find the gaps in my knowledge
364
and start crossing the river just one stone at a time
365
i learn what i need to learn i'm not a passive student
366
and i'm able to cross stone by stone until i reach the other end of the river
367
and am now a fluent speaker in another language
368
and this is what you should do regardless of whatever language you're learning and even
369
if you are already halfway through the river you can still
370
start this new approach by taking more of an active role in your learning and guiding your learning process.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
