Alexander Arguelles | 5 Language-Learning Mistakes That Are Holding Back Your Progress @ProfASAr | Uploaded January 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
In this lecture I discuss 5 very common reasons why language learners struggle with their studies. Rather than things that you are actively doing wrong, these are more likely to be things that you have not yet considered doing at all, so this video provides an introduction to a philosophy of language-learning that will enable you to conceptualize doing them.
00:00 Introduction
02:00 Lack of a conceptual framework
09:40 Lack of regular time/place for practice
13:58 Lack of digital detox periods
17:10 Neglecting the spiritual side of language-learning
20:48 Neglecting the physical side of language-learning
26:00 Summary and conclusion
If you might like to participate in my reading and discussion circles for French, German, Spanish, or Latin literature, or in seminars for Great Books of both Western and Eastern civilizations beginning in May of 2022, please fill out the application at alexanderarguelles.com/academy
