Your ultimate goal of fluency is the indirect result of his first step. 0:00 How do we get motivated? 3:29 You need to find the short term goals that will lead to the completion of your long term goal: learning a new language. 5:01 I don't always find it easy to find good langauge leanring content. 6:58 Commit yourself to things of interest in your target language. ___ Study a language on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3GvUVIk Study this video as a lesson on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3IyxUGx 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 #learnlanguages #languages #polyglot

CC subtitles available in: English, Vietnamese, Spanish, Russian and Italian. I'd like to thank the volunteers who created this video's translations: Alexis Acevedo https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexis-acevedo-1774a8212/ PhoL Huỳnh https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyZtbsU1wvxgiOHiVXyb6Jg Sara Gerrit Sergey The realization, thanks in large part to Stephen Krashen, that meaningful, comprehensible, and compelling input (CI) is the key to language learning success is changing how languages are taught. But how does it work, given that the new language is incomprehensible when we start? 0:00 What is comprehensible input? 2:12 When we start in a language nothing is comprehensible. 5:25 Learning vocabulary in a new language. 8:20 We need an assist when using comprehensible input. 10:02 My desired percentage of unknown words in a piece of langauge learning content. ___ Study a language on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3odGKRX Study this video as a lesson on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3xQyE4N 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 #comprehensibleinupt #languages #polyglot

🔥 Cyber Monday SALE. Save 40% off LingQ: (Copy and paste the URL manually into your browser to get the deal) https://bit.ly/3D0uSH4 I favour using content of interest, compelling content, to make language learning enjoyable. But many school learners simply aren't interested. Can setting a specific list of words to learn make things better? 0:00 UK body proposes language students learn 1700 frequently used words to pass exam. 1:53 Interest in language learning is declining. 3:27 School should focus on getting students turned on to learning a language. 6:47 The subject matter covered in language lessons is vital. 8:55 The keys of language learning. 11:23 The classroom is not the main place where students learn a language.

I don't think it matters. 0:00 I am an extroverted language learner. 1:35 Being an extrovert is not a condition for being a good language learner. 3:00 It is possible to be a wonderful polyglot without focussing on output at all. 4:05 You can be a fluent in a language and make mistakes. 5:09 Just because someone speaks earlier doesn't mean they are better at the language in the long run. ___ Study a language on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3FG2b48 Study this video as a lesson on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3l1YMVd 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 #learnlanguages #languages #polyglot
