Hi, Steve Coffin here.

Today I'm going to talk about,

I often get this question like,

how do you start a language from scratch?

What is your process to learn a language?

By the way, if you enjoy my podcast or at least videos about language learning, please subscribe.

Alright, how do you start from scratch?

Obviously right now I'm focusing on four Slavic languages.

I've studied all those four languages to varying degrees before.

So I'm not starting from scratch.

In fact, the last language I started from scratch,

I guess was Ukrainian, but I had had Slavic languages before, Romanian maybe.

How do I start from scratch?

All right, let's say I was going to study Turkish.

All right.

Or Arabic, and I do intend to do that one day.

I would go out and buy a starter book.

A starter book is like a teach yourself,

assimil, colloquial, any of those.

It almost doesn't matter.

I just find it's comfortable to have a book,

a little book, that gives you a bit of an overview of the language.

There's typically, you know, 20 or 12 chapters that introduce some aspects of the language in each chapter.

They have a dialogue, some audio, some explanations.

And I kind of go through them predominantly to get a sense of the language,

to read some

and to get an overview of the grammar not expecting to

remember much it's just kind of an introduction get my feet wet

so to speak then as soon as I could I would

get into interesting content how soon I can get into interesting content will depend on the language

but I would start trying and I would do it at LingQ obviously

because there I can look up every word I can I can't say words,

I'm used to that.

That's my favorite sort of learning environment.

But my sort of modus operandi is to get into a situation where I can listen and read.

Because listening in combination with reading is so powerful.

And so for an initial six months or so, I would only...

And so then people say,

well, how can you listen to things you don't understand?

I get that all the time.

How can you listen if you don't know the words?

Obviously, when you start out,

you have to listen to short bits of content because you don't understand.

And you have to listen to content where you have the transcript.

And again it should be 30 seconds long because you're going to be looking up words,

you're going to be struggling,

you don't understand, you're in that early process of discovering the language.

But to listen to something you have to have the transcript so that you can look up the words.

Alright?

Also, listening and reading go together.

Why?

we listen to something that has been recorded.

Alright, that's a record.

It's an audio record of something that someone said.

But writing is a written record.

Before they had, you know,

tape recorders or mp3 files,

all they had was writing.

That was the only way to record what was said.

And the writing is a visual representation of the words.

I find that I need both.

If I just hear it, I won't remember it.

Not a chance.

If I'm talking to my tutor and she gives me a new word in Ukrainian,

if I don't see it written down,

I haven't got a chance of remembering that word.

But if I hear it often enough and see it often enough,

that's the visual representation, if I combine the two,

I have a chance of accumulating those words.

So in order for that to work in the initial period,

which might be one, two,

three months, you've got to listen more than once to the same content.

And so that's what I would do.

Therefore it has to be short.

And you have to, even though the content is boring,

it's the challenge of trying to make sense out of this new language that makes it interesting enough,

stimulating, challenging enough that I can actually listen over and over because I'm still not getting certain parts of it.

Even though I've read it and I've looked up the words and I've kind of pieced together what it means,

when I listen to it, it's still a blur.

So therefore there's that challenge that keeps you focused.

You're going to listen to it again,

read it again, and also in the beginning I'm more likely to review words

and phrases using my flashcards or other of the activities that we have at LINC,

closed tests or multiple choice or whatever,

to try to somehow, because I have to very sort of intensively work this stuff because it's so new to me.

Now gradually as I progress,

and remember again, I'm listening to content that's short,

for which I have the transcript.

And hopefully it's relatively easy because it's designed for beginners.

And you can get

that out of your beginner book you can find lots of

such content at LINK for different languages some languages have more than others

and then but as early as possible I want to get to interesting content

because after a while it becomes boring to listen to stuff that's essentially boring

so I have to move to a stage where I am now motivated by my interest in the content.

And for me very often that means books related to the history of the country where the language is spoken.

And then it continues.

It's that combination of the the sound and the visual representation of the words repeated, repeated, repeated.

Now some people say well you should you know try

100

and first learn the most important 1000 words of the language they will show up anyway that you needn't worry about

101

the main thing is is to get hooked hooked on the

102

language get enough of a start with the beginner material

103

that you've got a bit of a toehold on more interesting material

104

and initially it's a tough grind but i find that in

105

that early period where it's very difficult and i'm looking up a lot of words,

106

I'm excited by the fact that I'm actually reading and listening to authentic material that turns me on.

107

Wow, look at me.

108

Now I've got say a Turkish newscast with transcript and I'm listening to it,

109

not really understanding it, reading it,

110

listening again, but it's real stuff.

111

And then sort of without even realizing it,

112

all of a sudden, three months later,

113

I'm able to understand more and more of these podcasts or whatever they might be.

114

And then as I'm getting more and more of the meaning,

115

then I try to notice expressions

116

or words that are kind of key words for the meaning or key words that I would like to use.

117

And so I think it's useful once you are comfortable with the meaning

118

that you try to focus on certain expressions when you notice them, certain phrases.

119

All right.

120

The great thing about listening is you can do it wherever you are.

121

I find that and I've said this before,

122

if I just sit down and listen, I lose focus.

123

However, if I'm listening while driving,

124

if I'm listening while doing the dishes,

125

then I seem to be able to focus in better on the meaning.

126

And once you are able to kind of get the meaning fairly well,

127

that's the time when you start focusing in on expressions and phrases so that you notice it here,

128

you notice it there, and pretty soon it starts to become part of your vocabulary.

129

Now, different people start speaking at different times.

130

I, if I were doing Turkish,

131

I would imagine that my initial period with the beginner material might be three months because it's a totally different language.

132

Then I might go another three,

133

four, five months with a lot of listening and reading,

134

getting into more and more interesting content.

135

And then I would need to start speaking because when you start speaking,

136

you see things that are missing.

137

You get a report back hopefully from your tutor,

138

which I can import into LingQ.

139

And this increases your attentiveness so that when you're listening,

140

you're listening for some of the things that you have had difficulty with.

141

And as you progress, you're able to speak more.

142

But even when I'm speaking a lot,

143

like right now with my Ukrainian,

144

because I'm doing four languages,

145

I'm doing Ukrainian for six weeks,

146

then I'm going to do maybe Polish and maybe Czech.

147

So I'm speaking once a day, an hour a day.

148

That's a lot.

149

I think it's sufficient to do it once or twice a week.

150

That's all the speaking you need in order to kind of maintain that level of focus when you're listening and reading.

151

and basically that's what I do.

152

If I have dedicated learning time I sit down with my iPad and I read and I create links.

153

The listening ends up being the biggest part of my learning activity

154

because I can do it whenever I want but that basically is what I would do.

155

So when I undertake Turkish or Arabic when I get around to doing

156

that I would expect that it would take me a year on you know So using mostly listening time,

157

maybe 45 minutes a day,

158

an hour, another half hour with my iPad on link.

159

On that basis, I would think within a year,

160

I would be able to present to you some videos of me speaking Turkish.

161

That's for the future.

162

Anyway, that's a brief description of how I go about learning languages.

163

I hope this was of interest and I'd be interested in answering any questions.

164

Bye for now.

逐步影子跟讀指南

想要有效提升英語口語能力，影子跟讀是一種非常有效的練習方法。下面是一個具體的步驟指南，幫助你克服影片中的困難：

選擇適合你的初學者書籍，先了解語言的基本結構和語法。
儘早接觸真實、有趣的內容，比如YouTube影片，確保這些內容有文字記錄，便於你跟隨。
在學習過程中，結合英語影子跟讀，即在聽的時候跟讀，幫助你提高發音和理解力。
確保選擇短小的片段，逐步積累詞彙，儘量不要一次聽太長的內容。
持續堅持，每天練習，設定目標，比如每天聽和跟讀30分鐘，讓自己逐步適應新語言的聲音和節奏。

通過以上方法，你可以在提高英語發音的同時，讓自己的聽力和口語能力得到全面的提升。不論是雅思口語練習還是日常交流，瞭解並熟練運用這些短語都會為你的語言學習之路增添更多的信心和樂趣。同時，結合這些技巧，你將能更有效地看YouTube學英語，切實感受到語言學習的樂趣與成就感。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	I've studied · has been recorded · I've read
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	has been recorded · was said · is spoken

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
