Hey English learners!
2
Welcome to this A2 English listening practice video.
3
Today, I'm gonna talk about relearning a language.
4
So, I am currently relearning Greek right now.
5
It's not the first time that I've learned it.
6
I studied Greek many years ago, and I stopped about four and a half years ago,
7
or maybe a little bit more than that.
8
But now I'm relearning Greek and I'd like to talk about
9
that today because it's a pretty interesting process to relearn a language.
10
It's not the same thing as learning a language for the first time.
11
So, I'll talk about some of those differences today and some of the things I've been experiencing while relearning Greek.
12
And I hope that you enjoy this video.
13
And of course, it's good practice for your listening.
14
If you feel like you need to advance more and you want to get better at understanding fast English,
15
then make sure to check out my advanced podcast episodes.
16
If you want those, the link is down below.
17
In those episodes, I speak at normal speed, not slowly like in these videos.
18
By the way, people sometimes ask me if they speed up these YouTube videos,
19
like make it faster, if that's the same thing as using my advanced episodes, it's not.
20
You can do that with these YouTube videos, but when I slow down my speech,
21
like in these videos, I change the way that I stress and reduce words.
22
It's not the same as when I speak normally.
23
And so if you make these videos faster,
24
it's not the same thing as the way I say words and phrases when I speak in my advanced episodes,
25
by the way.
26
Because yes, you're making this video faster, so that's good, but it's not going to sound natural
27
with the same type of stress and reduced speech
28
and rhythm as a normal video or podcast episode where I'm speaking at normal speed.
29
So I just wanted to mention that because people always ask about that.
30
Okay, let's talk about relearning a language.
31
I started relearning Greek maybe four weeks ago, something like that.
32
So it's pretty recent, but I've already learned a lot and I've learned some lessons from these weeks of relearning Greek.
33
So when you learn a language for the first time, it's the first time you've seen it.
34
You're creating new connections in your brain.
35
Okay?
36
This is a different process from when you're relearning a language.
37
When you're learning a language for the first time, it's really easy to forget things.
38
It's very easy to see a word, even a simple word like great or something,
39
and you see it, you note it down, and you forget it afterwards.
40
That's really common when you're learning a language for the first time.
41
This is because you have no foundation,
42
you have no base, so you're You're just seeing new things
43
that have no significance to you and you've never seen anything like
44
that before and things just don't make sense to you yet.
45
And a big thing is that things don't sound right or wrong to you yet.
46
Now you're learning English, you're not a native speaker,
47
but I'm sure if you hear another English learner say something that's really incorrect,
48
you can probably feel that it's wrong.
49
You probably feel that it's incorrect, even though you're not a native speaker.
50
And when you're learning a language for the first time, you're just starting out, you have no foundation,
51
you don't have this feeling of right and wrong.
52
You don't know what sounds right.
53
You don't know what sounds wrong.
54
Everything is just completely new and arbitrary, meaning it's It's kind of random.
55
You don't have any connection with these sounds or words or grammar.
56
It's all new for you.
57
On the other hand, when you relearn a language, you're not starting from scratch.
58
Even if you think you've forgotten everything, you haven't.
59
It's not completely gone.
60
Maybe you can't think of that thing in that moment,
61
but that information might still be deep down in your brain.
62
This is something I've noticed.
63
Before this past month, I felt like I just did not have any Greek in my brain.
64
Like I forgot almost everything except for some basic things.
65
But even though it feels like this,
66
even though it feels like the information you've learned is completely gone, it's not.
67
So in the past month,
68
I've been relearning Greek and like I said before this, I couldn't say anything.
69
I didn't remember how to say things or I couldn't understand things.
70
It seemed like the words were gone.
71
But when I started relearning Greek, I realized, oh, I recognize that word.
72
Oh yeah, I know that word.
73
Oh, of course, I know that word.
74
That's been happening over and over again throughout this past month.
75
And so I realize that this information has not completely disappeared.
76
I just have to revive it, bring it back to life.
77
Okay?
78
So let me talk about some things that I've been noticing.
79
Like as soon as I see or hear a word that I used to know,
80
I have this click and I recognize it immediately.
81
Oh yeah, I remember that word.
82
That keeps happening over and over again and it's like, we say this in English,
83
like a light bulb moment where the light bulb goes off like, oh yeah, wow, that's right.
84
I've been having this again
85
and again suddenly this word comes back to me like oh yeah I know
86
that word and then suddenly it's obvious like oh of course I know how to say
87
that and that's strange because right before
88
that it's like I had no idea how to say that I had no idea what that word was in Greek,
89
but then suddenly I see it and then it's super obvious.
90
It's not like when you're learning a language for the first time and you see a new word and it's like,
91
okay, another new word to learn and it has no meaning for you yet.
92
When I relearn these Greek words, I see it and immediately it has meaning.
93
Immediately I remember that word.
94
Immediately it re-establishes that connection in my brain.
95
It's really cool.
96
I've even started remembering other words,
97
other random words, without even seeing them or hearing them again.
98
So one thing is when I relearn the word, I see it or I hear it and I say, oh yeah, I remember that word.
99
But I'm also experiencing this where I don't even see the word
100
or hear the word and I just remember suddenly how to say drive
101
or some random verb like I'm just practicing and suddenly I go,
102
oh I remember that drive is this word.
103
Even though no one said it, I didn't see it anywhere, I just randomly remember how to say that word.
104
That's happened a number of times already.
105
So as I'm relearning Greek, information is surfacing as we say,
106
meaning it's coming and becoming visible and suddenly I know it again.
107
Even in some cases when I don't even see the word.
108
I just randomly remember how to say certain things.
109
Or maybe I'm gonna look something up and before I even see the result, I kind of remember like,
110
I think it starts with this letter.
111
And then I look up the word and I realize that yes, it starts with that letter.
112
So all of this is reviving.
113
It's coming back to me.
114
It's coming back to life.
115
And I feel that relearning all of this information,
116
relearning words and phrases and all that.
117
It's making these connections stronger in my brain.
118
When I first learned these words and these phrases, the connection was not that strong and
119
so I had to strengthen this connection over time by seeing the word or hearing the word again and again.
120
But now when I relearn a word, I have that connection more quickly.
121
I don't need to see it as many times again to really establish it in my brain.
122
I remember it better.
123
It has more meaning for me quicker, more quickly.
124
So I think that forgetting something and then relearning it is a very powerful thing.
125
I know there's research about this.
126
I'm not really familiar with all of the studies and the results,
127
but I'm pretty sure that there is established science about this,
128
about forgetting things and then relearning them and how that's a really powerful thing.
129
So the fact that I've forgotten all of these words and phrases in Greek,
130
and now I'm relearning them,
131
that's a powerful way to establish strong connections in my brain.
132
So I guess a lesson that you can take from that is that you shouldn't be afraid to forget things.
133
Sometimes we have this fear of forgetting information, forgetting words that we learn.
134
Don't worry about this.
135
You'll relearn them when it's necessary,
136
when you need to, and then you'll probably remember these words even better once you relearn them.
137
That's what's happening to me right now in Greek.
138
I think that I'm gonna remember my vocabulary now better than before.
139
And I think the process of reaching the level
140
that I was at
141
when I stopped is gonna be a lot faster than the process of reaching that level for the first time.
142
So if it took me a year to reach a certain level before,
143
maybe it will only take me eight months now or something.
144
I'm just randomly saying numbers here.
145
I don't know.
146
But I feel like the process is gonna be faster now that I'm relearning Greek
147
and not learning it from scratch for the first time.
148
So remember that I haven't learned Greek in a long time, like over four and a half years.
149
It's been quite a while since I've learned Greek and that's a long time,
150
but the knowledge that I have of Greek is still there in my brain.
151
So that's really cool because sometimes we can think that
152
when we stop learning a language and we take a long break that we've wasted our time.
153
I wasted a year and a half learning English years ago, and now I have to start again.
154
Why did I stop?
155
I wasted that time.
156
And of course, it's better not to stop learning the language.
157
But what's cool is that you didn't waste your time.
158
I didn't waste my time learning Greek in the past.
159
I felt like that maybe last year when I didn't know any Greek and I couldn't remember anything and I thought,
160
oh, why did I spend all that time and then stop?
161
But now I realize that that time,
162
that effort, that energy that I spent many years ago was not in vain, meaning it was not useless.
163
It actually had results and now I'm benefiting from that.
164
I'm relearning Greek and the process is going faster than
165
when I first learned it and I'm remembering these words that I learned, I'm reviving them.
166
That knowledge is still deep in my brain.
167
So I'm very happy about that.
168
I hope that if you've had this experience of learning a language and stopping,
169
I hope now that you realize that you can revive a lot of that information and establish stronger connections now.
170
So don't be too discouraged if that has happened to you.
171

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
