Hey, it's Meredith with phoneticfluency.com and welcome to another episode of the Fluency Habit Podcast.

I want to take a moment to say thank you

so much for all of the positive feedback on the first two episodes on YouTube.

They're available on YouTube but also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

But on YouTube when you leave a comment or like the video, this really helps it reach other people

and all of the positive feedback helps me understand

that this is something that you guys like and enjoy and value so that I can keep making more content like this.

So if you could leave a like or comment on this video as well, I would really appreciate that.

Let's go ahead and talk about today's video, which is how to teach yourself a language.

If I were to include a byline, it would be how to teach yourself a language.

It always takes more than one resource.

And you'll see why I say that later in the video.

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.

And the teacher is the holder of knowledge.

So everything they tell you is how you learn the language.

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.

I'm not saying that you don't need a teacher because you do need a teacher, but this particular mindset is the problem.

Learning in this way leads to failure.

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.

So you're like, I want to learn French.

I want to learn Spanish.

I want to learn Italian, whatever.

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,

and you show up to class and you pay attention and absorb what the teacher tells you.

You know, whatever the teacher writes on the board, you write it down in your notebook.

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.

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.

You practice via homework, but this practice is limited to what you saw in class

and very likely is something that's very visual.

So reading and writing rather than actual use of the language.

The result is that you don't spend nearly enough time with the language as you need to

if you actually want to advance quickly and become fluent in this language.

You advance very, very slowly.

You're moving along at a snail's pace.

At a snail's pace in English means slowly.

So you're moving slowly.

You're moving at a snail's pace.

And in my opinion, this way of learning keeps you from the actual fun part of language learning, which is using the language.

That's the actual fun part.

And when you learn in this way, usually it keeps you from getting to participate in that fun part.

So you're not really having that much fun.

It feels like a task.

It feels like a homework.

And so you're going to eventually lose your motivation and possibly stall out in your language learning journey.

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.

So you stall out.

Or possibly even worse, you continue studying the language for years and years and years and years.

And then even after years, you can't really properly use the language.

You're not a fluent speaker of that language despite years of time that you've spent studying it.

So the flaws with this mentality, this way of viewing language learning, is number one, an over-dependence on a single source of information.

That is your teacher.

You view the teacher, again, as the one with all the knowledge.

And so that's your source of everything that you're going to do related to the language.

And their job is to transfer that knowledge to you.

So you're depending too much on one single source.

And the other part of the flaw with this mentality is adopting a passive student role in your learning.

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.

And this is entirely the problem.

So let's talk about a new philosophy that you need to adopt

if you really want to actually learn quickly and get to the fun part and become fluent in another language.

Let's start with what actually is true.

The previous mentality.

What is true about that is that the language comes from outside of you, your native language.

You've been using it for long enough that it's inside you.

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.

The language exists outside of you and to be able to master it and start using it yourself.

First, you have to absorb it from outside of you.

So that is true.

And the other thing that's true is you do need a a teacher.

But here's where the shift is.

The teacher is only a part of your process.

What you're going to do if you really want to teach yourself a language

and do it more quickly is build a large toolkit of resources

that you use for your learning and the teacher is only one of these.

They're a major part of it, but they are not the guide through your whole language learning journey.

If you take away only one main idea from this episode,

is that learning another language must be active and self-directed by you, not by your teacher.

And you will rely on no one single resource.

You're not going to ever be able to fully learn a language to fluency using only one single resource,

whether that's an app like Duolingo or a course or a teacher,

there's never going to be just one thing that's going to bring you from beginner to fluent.

I like to think of language learning like crossing a river on stepping stones.

So imagine you're on this bank of the river

and you look across to the other bank and that's where you want to go.

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.

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?

The problem is you're not even on the first stone

and you're already looking at the 50th stone and wondering how you're going to handle it once you get there.

So what we need to do is come back to only the thing that's directly in front of us

and focus on that.

And the stones in this analogy are your language knowledge.

Here, you're a beginner on this bank of the river.

The other bank of the river is fluency or mastery of this language.

And the stones are your language knowledge.

So when you are on the first couple of stones, this is your basic conversation kind of knowledge.

So you have some basic vocabulary, you know how to conjugate verbs in the present tense.

So you can have like a really rudimentary conversation with someone in this language.

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.

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.

371

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
