How I Use Dictionaries When Learning a Language

🔥 Learn languages like I do with LingQ: https://bit.ly/3JFM6i7 CC subtitles available in English. To learn a language we need to look up the meaning of words. This means referring to dictionaries. Lately this has meant mostly referring to online dictionaries for me. Dictionaries are a necessary part of language learning as long as we use them effectively. 0:00 I love to buy dictionaries! 1:28 The difficulty with using a dictionary during my Chinese learning journey. 2:44 You should always have a purpose for looking up a word. 3:45 Make the process as easy and effective as possible. 7:20 Looking up words in the dictionary should be an assist and not your main language learning activity. ___ Study a language on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3JFM6i7 Study this video as a lesson on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3p5Mtsz 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

Listening & Reading Comprehension, YES - Comprehension Questions, NO

🔥 Learn languages like I do with LingQ: https://bit.ly/3z56p3w CC subtitles available in English. I don't think comprehension questions are helpful in language learning. They destroy the pleasure of reading or listening. Brazilian educator Rubem Alves agrees with me. I listened to and read his thoughts while learning Portuguese. I didn't always fully understand but I thoroughly enjoyed the process and my Portuguese improved.   0:00 I am allergic to comprehension questions! 1:30 The Canadian Government's language learning app. 2:47 Being tested takes the joy out of reading and listening. 4:24 We don't need teachers to prepare comprehension questions, we can find content of interest ourselves when learning a language. 6:05 If I'm listening to something in my target language, I also want to be able to read it. ___ Study a language on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3z56p3w Study this video as a lesson on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3zuoCYH 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

The Most Important Thing in Language Learning

🔥 Learn languages like I do with LingQ: https://bit.ly/3Om0qgd CC subtitles available in English. What is important in language learning is whatever is important to you. You learn best from content that is important to you. You notice things that are important to you. You remember things that are important to you. 0:00 What's important in language learning is whatever is important to the learner. 1:30 I have recently noticed something new in my Persian studies. 3:28 Many teachers try to teach language students what is important to them. 5:41 If learning your target language isn't important to you, you won't learn. 7:20 The ability to notice when learning a new langauge is vital to your success. ___ Study a language on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3Om0qgd Study this video as a lesson on LingQ: https://bit.ly/3PqFki5 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
