An Important Way To Think About Language Learning PROGRESS Robin MacPherson 2021-05-14 | I think that sometimes we can fall into the trap of thinking about progress in our languages only as "new things". This could be learning new vocabulary or grammar, or perhaps studying new resources or having new experiences. The point is that we often discount all the review and spending time consolidating stuff we already learned and sometimes this leads to feeling disappointed with ourselves or not making time for that all-important review process over time.Today I share my thoughts on this, I hope you enjoy it!//== Links ==//❤️ Join my wonderful Patreon community: patreon.com/robinmacpherson❤️ Follow me on Instagram @_robinmacpherson✍🏼 Try my foreign-language Journaling app, Journaly!journaly.com📖 Check out my book, How To Maintain Languages:robinmacpherson.co/shop💌 Join my delightful newsletter & access my free downloads:robinmacpherson.co/newsletter
Polyglot Speaks ONE LANGUAGE... Quite Well! Robin MacPherson 2021-05-11 | We're seeing more and more clickbaity videos about "white guy shocks locals with perfect Chinese!" or "Leaning Italian In 2 Weeks!" or perhaps "Polyglot Speaking 15 Languages Fluently!" that can often be misleading to a lot of viewers. That's why in this video I'm speaking just one foreign language, Spanish, and being honest in the title. My Spanish isn't perfect or flawless, but I guess it's not too bad!Let's talk a little about the impact of making only content that either isn't completely honest about our skills or even honest content that only ever shows ourselves in the best possible light.//== Links ==//❤️ Join my wonderful Patreon community: patreon.com/robinmacpherson❤️ Follow me on Instagram @_robinmacpherson✍🏼 Try my foreign-language Journaling app, Journaly!journaly.com📖 Check out my book, How To Maintain Languages:robinmacpherson.co/shop💌 Join my delightful newsletter & access my free downloads:robinmacpherson.co/newsletter
