I love your honest approach to language learning. The fact that you have knowledge in 20 different languages some extremely well spoken and others are a work in progress is so refreshing! I love that you are so real in the fact that when it's not our native language there will be mistakes to some degree and that is OK and NORMAL the point is to communicate. That is a fantastic message for some people(me included). I'm not sure if there has been a bit of criticism but if that is the case, in my mind, they don't know what they are talking about and just looking to find something, someone to criticize! You are one of the few people I have found on the internet who is just so real about language learning, it's a fantastic message.

I love everything you mentioned, Steve. Many people forget that it's our habits - habits of thinking and habits of behaviour - that ultimately shape how fast we achieve our goals. I personally stopped striving to speak the languages I'm learning like a native speaker and focused more on the habits and beliefs of a successful learner who gets as close to speaking like a native speaker as humanly possible.

I think my key elements are discipline and curiosity. Some days I have to force myself to start my daily lesson but after 1 minute or so I'm fully in. Even if I just watch a video in my target language I never skip my daily input. And I discovered when I switch between advanced and easy stuff it's more rewarding. Once a week or a month I look for a short video, article or text which is really above my current level. And then I work myself through this content, often with the help of Lingq. Sometimes I need 3 days to get through a text, but I stick to it. And when I finish, it's so so rewarding. And afterswards I treat myself with content at a lower level and I speed through it because it's a lot more easier now. Second reward 😅. And for friends of the italian language: The channel geopop italia here on youtube is awesome for this method and my current favorite ❤ (Sorry for the long text and errors. Very passionate non-native speaker.)

I love your thoughts about learning languages just for learning about another culture, that's brilliant and relaxed my anxious about learning English, because I was told frequently that I should be good at speaking in English for several years, and that should be the final aim of learning English, while I just want to use it as a key for my trial in English books and great videos, to see how other people in this world to live, and find my way to achieve a peace and meaningful life.

Japanese was the first foreign language I learned. I think what really helped me with that was really understanding the difference between transitive and intransitive verbs. It was never explained properly to me for ages, until I found someone and a text book that did. I finally could get the verbs sorted out and which ones to use when, and constructing Japanese sentences with the correct particles became so much easier!

You are so right about not rushing to speak! I had trouble convincing my teacher in Mexico that when I was ready I would speak, that she should not worry. Another way I would put it was, if I spoke Spanish I wouldn't be here learning it! Now I'm learning Hebrew and that's the way I feel about it - first learning to read and write and read and write and read and write… I don't have to speak it I'm in Canada!

I agree with you that our brain is good at seeing patterns. I see that in my own study of languages, and I saw it when my daughter was young. She made certain grammar mistakes, which followed a pattern but, in actuality, do not exist in English. For example she used "had brung". Something she had never heard anyone in the family say, but it does fit the pattern for words such sing, wring, etc. Anyway, I enjoy your content. It seems very practical to me. 😊

I'm French, and studied French at school of course, and I totally understand you. It was in my private life that I learned the more : grammar lessons or conjugation is basic but not "alive", as datas we can't read/exploit. The "solo time" is more than important to embrace the weird structure (hello exceptions) of French 😂 For others languages, the hard part for me is to create a strong link between datas and experiences made in real life. Two tools. The goal is being able to use these tools with precision, I guess, still searching how it could be more effective Ps: I love the idea of "white heat", really ! Have a good journey with Hindi

I have never made a big effort to learn any language. I just listen so much more than i understand. I've learned something through the whole process : the basic structural knowledge of any language is so important for spead learning.. moreover ,you have to select mathematically the language you want to learn if you wanna be a polyglot, for example : the family language is a must in order to learn more than one language in short time. 1'-Speak the differences and the share "language's knowledge" among languages "similarities" What i mean by " 1'-speak" above is :tell or discern the differences... Etc Thanks for reading.

Instead of learning 30 minor languages to B1 or B2 proficiency (e.g., Hungarian, Tigrinya, and Quechua), focus on mastering a few major ones like French and Spanish, enabling you to effectively use them in any situation. This approach will benefit you much more. Personally, I "only" speak eight languages, but those are eight languages that I use daily and weekly when communicating with clients. I may also consider picking up Mandarin as well to attract more Chinese clients, as very few people in my profession here speak Mandarin, which would give me a competitive advantage, but I haven't decided yet.

I would say: don't focus on details AT AN EARLY STAGE. But as an adult you won't develop accuracy if you don't pay attention to details at some point. Adult brains function differently than child's. As for your six elements, three of them are not "doable". Be this, be that, be flexible, believe in yourself. You ARE curious. I am not so much. Still, there are things I can DO to improve my language.

...and daring to take (social) risks. When you are a child, you are totally dependent on your closest social envirionment (a k a parents), and you can't socially "afford" to not take the risk of making a "fool" of yourself when learning your first language. When you are an adult, the social pressure and cost of making a fool of ourselves is (percieved) is even higher, since we have invested social capital in the groups and hierarchies we surround ourselves with. But since we don't "have to" learn a new language to survive, we don't dare to spend social capital from one venue to get social capital in an unknown group, which at the moment is unknown in height and width. So finding the right context of daring equals is really key.

This is very informative and interesting. I wonder if any polyglot accepts Chomsky’s theories on language learning? I have the impression he decides how the world should be, then tries to fit the evidence to match. ,.I feel that the major problem an adult faces is that they make so many assumptions when learning a foreign language. Their own language acts as a barrier, and they often retain their mother tongue’s phonemes, timing, grammar and idioms. Children just seem to soak it up directly, and at some stage that ability to just listen disappears, and it becomes a skill that we have to relearn, or at least I did.

Hello steve! Is there any plans to add more challenges to lingq? Im loving the platform but id like more things to challenge myself. Lingqing is great but sometimes i find myself wanting a bit of gamification (i know it's a slippery slope) any thoughts of other challenges to help add some variety to the learning process?
