Benny Lewis | Cognates: Words you already know in foreign languages: #languagehacking quickies @irishpolyglot | Uploaded January 2017 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
Did you know that it's impossible to start a language from "zero" if you're an adult? If you speak one language (your mother tongue) then you already know words in pretty much every language on earth. They are called "cognates"!
See that discussed in today's video!
(Sorry about the error on screen - the placement of the text about my email list gets covered by the end-screen-card and says "Sign up to learn a language learning tips" - whenever I make a typo, people always say that I shouldn't be helping people learn languages, but the point is to make mistakes, and this is my one for the video :D)
Links mentioned in the video are:
