CC subtitles available in English. The number one goal in language learning is to acquire words. The number of words you know is the simplest measure of your knowledge of any language.

CC subtitles available in English. My 7 language learning goals: 0:00 1. Acquire words. Passive vocabulary is the best measure of my potential in a language. 3:17 2. Read a lot. Reading is easier to understand than listening.  I may read new material or re-read old material, but I read every day. 3:54 3. Listen everywhere. I listen every day, either repeatedly as a beginner, or more extensively as I progress in a language. 4:57 4. Speak when I have the chance. With enough input, I find it easier to speak and do so without worrying about how I do. 5:29 5. Focus on grammar at the right time. With enough exposure to the language, enough errors in speaking, I circle back to improve my usage. 6:35 6. Write as required. Writing is a great way to improve but how much I write depends on my needs. 7:22 7. Culture. My ultimate goal in learning a language is to connect with the culture and history of the language. I can start doing this at any time, but fid it most satisfying only after I have achieved a good level of comprehension and familiarity with the language. ___ Study a language on LingQ: https://bit.ly/37TS3sX Study this video as a lesson on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3L3eIkP My Podcast: Soundcloud: https://bit.ly/3iZsbic Apple: https://apple.co/3z1F1lD Google: https://bit.ly/2W3DYmK Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4TbcX8ilVmVTi6jdQVHuwK Get my 10 Secrets of Language Learning: https://www.thelinguist.com FREE grammar guides: https://www.lingq.com/en/grammar-resource/ Join the LingQ Discord server: https://discord.gg/ShPTjyhwTN My language learning blog on The Linguist: https://bit.ly/2MW83Ab My Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/lingosteve_/ My TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lingosteve The LingQ language learning blog: https://bit.ly/35yvaqK #languagelearning #languages #polyglot
