What's The Most Difficult Language?║Lindsay Does Languages Video

What do you think? Is there such thing as the world's most difficult language?

Just expect that there are going to be steps to overcome for any foreign language.

IWTYAL 141: Master Your Memory Part 1 Memory techniques for learning foreign language vocabulary. The ART technique ... first of three episodes. How to apply the techniques to learning languages. Memory Techniques - Learning Foreign Languages Over a million words in English? Wow. 85% of the words we use regularly are simply 1000 of these one million words. I don't buy into the idea to focus on those 1000 words. I want to be fluent in my foreign languages. It might be that most of what people say includes those popular words... but I find the important words in so, so, so many system are among the other 15%!!! I do very little to focus on vocabulary because I read and listen to podcasts at LingQ. I just keep reading and listening and giving my brain more words to think about. But I do follow the basic ideas Olly Richard's has outlined this video. When I'm having trouble with a specific word I identify it and look for sample sentences to write in my language (voca

Foreign Language Study Sequences Part 1: Listening

I use some these tips by Olly Richards as he describes how to improve listening skills in foreign language study during his core study time. ( Core Study Time In Your Language Routine ) Instead of paying for a transcription, I choose videos from YouTube channels created by native speakers that add accurate subtitles. I study the words and phrases in the videos by cutting and pasting them into LingQ. I am a LingQ subscriber so I can save sentences and phrases to see later. Sometimes I write phrases and sentences in a notebook. But the I text more than I write by hand, so I work on my computer more often. I don't limit my practice to 30 second clips of videos. I watch entire videos I want to understand over and over. However, when a video is very long, I break it into smaller chunks. I think I will try the tips in this video and break the foreign language resources down into shorter clips. Also, because I am watching longer videos, I get less repetition than he descr

Как строили египетские пирамиды? — Научпок

Как строили египетские пирамиды? — Научпок Египетские пирамиды — величайшие архитектурные памятники Древнего Египта, среди которых одно из «семи чудес света» — пирамида Хеопса и почётный кандидат «новых семи чудес света» — Пирамиды Гизы. Пирамиды представляют собой огромные каменные сооружения пирамидальной формы, использовавшиеся в качестве гробниц для фараонов Древнего Египта. Слово «пирамида» — греческое, означает многогранник. До настоящего времени среди исследователей нет единого мнения о причинах, побудивших придавать сооружениям указанную форму. Всего в Египте было обнаружено 118 пирамид (на ноябрь 2008 года).

Pyramids are a huge stone pyramid-shaped buildings that were used as tombs for pharaohs of ancient Egypt. T

Foreign Language Study Sequences Part 2: Learning Vocabulary

A video clip in the Foreign Language Study Sequences by Olly Richards to learn vocabulary in a foreign language. My system for learning vocabulary words in my target language is that I basically do not study vocabulary to memorize it. I stopped intentionally trying to memorize any words. I also stopped trying to use mnemonic systems. I choose instead to associate words with their actual meaning in the language through sensory input, action, imagery, ass well as reading, writing, speaking, listening and translation. Instead of studying a list of words each day, I instead expose myself to the language through reading, listening, translating, watching movies or videos, and talking or writing with native speakers. When I find an interesting resource, I will repeatedly watch or read it over a period of time. Other repetition comes from regular similiar installments such as ... the news about current events, gossip or celebrity news, or even the weekly sales ad at an online store. Be

Foreign Lanuage Study Sequences Part 4: Glossika

Part 4 of Olly Richard's series on how he uses his core study time for learning foreign languages. I use Glossika also. It isn't difficult to convince me to use Glossika regularly. I tend to use Glossika during my daily walk. I could probably use Glossika more beneficially if I spent more time reading and adapting the sentence patterns.
