Language Hacks From LingQ's Steve Kaufman

I'm inclined to agree with Steve Kaufman that the new uses of "hack" and "hacking" can't quite overcome the negative connotations. His video is short and sweet, and I won't share what is in this video... Instead, I will describe my language learning "hack". I've been at language learning for decades so there is no question in my mind that language learning takes a lot of repetition. Sure, some words I learn quickly or even immediately.

I wish I could find some English-Russian videos on YouTube in this format. I find it helpful to hear phrases with their translation in English. I've seen some advice to make sure to learn a language from your mother tongue, but being a rebel, I go through so Spanish language Russian lessons on YouTube anyway. So far it doesn't seem to interfere with my thought process. I'm not sure if it helps to interweave languages a bit either! I have yet to find a polyglot or linguist address this idea in a YouTube video or article. But, "learn a third language with your second language" is not an easy concept to Google.
