you watch TV all day anyways, so why not learn a language while you do it? from effectively using subtitles to actively imitating the characters, there are so many ways to make language learning with TV and movies interactive and FUN. fun fact: even if it's a show in my native language, i always watch with foreign subtitles! once you start, you can't stop, so let's visit a while and talk about one of my favorite topics 🌟 this video is long overdue!

no but for real, it's always "listen to a podcast on the bus" and never "maniacally track your vocab review in an SRS spreadsheet." what's with these polyglots nowadays? these are just a few things i keep in mind to make my studies consistent & efficient. what polyglot habits keep you in check? let me know down below ~
00:00 i'm tired of the same-old tips
00:41 speak everyday, or as often as you can
1:50 make a habit with the Lingoda Sprint!
3:47 make a to-do list before every session
4:24 using an energy menu
5:02 try the Pomodoro method
5:48 review the old as you learn the new
6:13 comprehensible input is REAL
7:41 try a spaced repetition system
8:50 associate language study with a constant
10:06 know yourself & how you learn best
11:58 now go forth and BE GREAT

#polyglot #languagelearning #learnspanish
i'm fluent in spanish now, but in my opinion, i did it all wrong. here's how i'd go about it if i had another shot. spanish was the first foreign language i learned, so looking back i really had no idea HOW to learn languages! as a seasoned language learner, i've not only learned the languages themselves, but also how to learn them more efficiently. (believe it or not, this polyglot thing gets easier the more you learn.) thanks for watching :)
00:00 i have no idea how i learned Spanish.
00:48 speak from day one! (yes you can.)
1:53 speak even to yourself
2:10 record your progress!
2:50 don't be scared to speak with natives
3:38 stick to a specific dialect!
5:36 learn spanish through stories
6:10 learn REAL Spanish on Jiveworld
8:00 STOP obsessing over grammar
8:41 the grammar you NEED to know:
9:30 don't try to learn EVERY new word
11:00 learn vocabulary by topics
11:41 studying in school is a trap
13:08 comment your Spanish trauma down below

30% OFF LINGODA: try.lingoda.com/May_ElysseSpeaks
0:00 A question that I DREAD...
1:01 Learn languages anywhere with Lingoda!
2:45 This question makes no sense
3:12 You're never "done" learning a language.
3:48 Learning isn't linear, it fluctuates.
4:21 X time doesn't equal X progress.
4:55 We weaponize time against ourselves.
5:50 Instead of time, consider EFFORT and CONSISTENCY
6:35 There ARE good time-based questions!
7:11 There is no one number.

#polyglot #languagelearning #notiontemplates
Whether they were too hard, too easy, or not exciting enough, these are the languages that didn't make the cut for me. At this point in my language learning journey, I just crave a perfect combo of challenging and interesting. If a language doesn't challenge me, and I don't have an interest in the larger world of that language.. I don't see it happening. (and that's ok!)
Have you ever given up on a language? If so, let me know which and why! ⬇️

17:32 record yourself (a lot)
The Tz'utujil language is a Mayan language spoken by some 70,000 people in southwest Guatemala, specifically around Lake Atitlán and its surrounding areas. The Academia de Lenguas Mayas is a Guatemalan organization founded in 1990 that regulates the use and teaching of Guatemala's 22 Mayan languages. I'm so honored to have gotten private classes and learn so much about the Tz'utujil language, culture, and cosmology.
*some disclaimers: I'm not an expert on Indigenous languages or history, I'm simply a person that wanted to get to know a side of Guatemala that was suppressed for so many years. If you try to learn an Indigenous language, make sure it's alongside actual Indigenous people and benefits their communities, not taking away from it. :)
00:00 what is Tz'utujil?
2:40 The Guatemalan Civil War (Conflicto Armado)
3:58 How I got started in Tz'utujil
4:30 Learning letters I can't pronounce (yet)
8:32 practicing Tz'utujil at the market (k'ayibal)
10:37 Learning place names and new verbs!
15:55 I GOT INVITED TO A BABY SHOWER IN TZ'UTUJIL
17:45 Tz'utujil word order is crazy!
20:26 Hanging out with Axuwaan (Johan)
22:07 How they create new words in Tz'utujil
23:21 Wise words from Axuwaan
23:40 She learned to write it after 20+ years of speaking
24:14 Jasy explains the expressiveness of Tz'utujil
26:22 My last class and closing thoughts...

I finally hit 100 lessons on italki, so why not take $100 more? I theoretically could've done this without taking the classes 6 days in a row, but that's no fun... how many lessons have you taken on italki? Do you have me beat? :0
