How Learning Languages Has Changed my Life (with Bec from Language Chats AU)

My guest is Brian Heavey, international events organiser and director at Online Language Exchange &amp; Real Events Ireland.

Today I’m bringing you a special, a recording of an expert panel discussion I moderated at the recent Women in Language conference, entitled *“Feminism in Our Language World”. * This is a top quality conversation I think you should hear. It isn’t a talk about how to learn vocabulary or find conversation partners in some kind of feminist way. It’s an examination of the world we live in, and how it may impact us as humans, not just language learners. &gt; "Feminism helps me to get space to just say what I want to say and not feel like I can't say my message." &gt; "A lot of people still see "feminist" as the extreme end of the spectrum and so are reluctant to use the term to describe themselves." &gt; "I can talk all day about the intersectionality of all things. But when you're not in a place where you can make mistakes, we're not in a place where you can make change." &gt; "To become the best version of yourself, you need to stand for the humanity of someone else." I am grateful to Lindsay and Shannon as well as our panelists Archana Parmar, Chesline Pierre Paul, Martina Gerdts, and Samantha Lassaux, for allowing me to put this audio out on the podcast.

Mastery and Advanced Level Language Learning

German Learner

In Episode 6 of the podcast, I’m talking to an everyday language learner. My longest-standing student Randy is our guest, and he talks about what it’s like to become a language person later in life and one tool that got him right through his first 6 months of learning: Rosetta Stone. Review Podcast for Rosetta Stone Advanced   Randy and I have both been trying Rosetta Stone to test their new system, Rosetta Stone Advanced, and we decided to record our verdicts in a podcast for all of you. So in this episode, you will hear all about:  The one event in Germany that motivated this all-American guy to start learning a foreign language How Randy balances his busy career as a lawyer, his family life and his commitment to studying German every day What starting a language at age 57 is REALLY like   “I thought ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if I could understand a little bit of this?’”   How the basic immersion system in Rosetta Stone works, and how we think the new online system is much improved The most important differences between Rosetta Stone and Duolingo What impressed me most about the system -- and where Randy sees the main drawback (say grammar and vocabulary!) How to break through plateaus and come back for more practice again and again   “The answer is that I’m gonna gradually just get a little better as I do the work.”   How Randy committed to studying every single day in his first 6 months of learning German The little frustrating things that everyone feels — and how to get over them!   “Under the theory that I’m not dead yet, I’d like to keep learning”  Randy’s Top 3 Tips for Language Learning These tips are really simple: Be patient and committed, try out lots of methods until you find the right one for you, and don’t be afraid! If you have enjoyed our discussion of the Rosetta Stone system and would like to try it out for yourself, here are some fabulous special offers for UK and US readers.

How to Be Super Efficient (The German Episode) with Michael Schmitz

Click or tap here to get the free guide to building your language learning habit Thank you to Bonnie Z for this episode introduction. Today’s question comes from Elizabeth - here's a summary of what she's asking:   I am attempting to learn Japanese. I’m trying out different methods in order to establish a routine that works best for me. This is starting to frustrate me because I feel like I am going in circles without making any real progress in the language. I absolutely love Japan, and so I’m trying hard to stay motivated and keep going, but the lack of progress is starting to zap my enthusiasm. Is this type of “wheel spinning” typical when you are a first time, self-directed language learner?  OMG ELIZABETH I LOVE THIS QUESTION!!!!!! You’re taking your first baby steps into indie learning and choosing what is right for you, and that’s just super strong and amazing. In today’s episode, I’ll take the opportunity to talk you through a few key steps as I teach them in the Language Habit Toolkit, my all-in-one package to help you create a great language learning routine. The idea of this language HABIT is so important because of what a good habit signifies. 5 Steps To Establishing Your Language Learning Habit Assess your resources - are they right? You want a guiding resource, some input resources, and a few reference materials. Learn more about this in my blog article "No More Hoarding!". Aim for higher levels of COMFORT not skill Work with the right goals There are two types of goals you need for language learning: Vision Goals and Path Goals Track what you do If your goal is the habit, progress is coming closer to the language being an absolutely irremovable part of your life. Progress isn’t always about knowing one more word of vocabulary, but instead about one tiny little degree of comfort. My most basic check-in is the “daily contact”, keeping me feeling accomplished even on super busy days. Review Regularly This is where we find out what’s real and what’s not, and that means whether you are actually spinning your wheels. The key is to answer questions like   What went well, what didn’t go well Was there any surprise What do I want to do next Where am I in relation to my goals  TRUST IN YOURSELF you’re doing an awesome job Elizabeth!!

Léa Knows App This app takes words that you've looked up on google translate and automatically creates flashcards of them.

"If It Plugs Your Gap, It'll Proper Plug Your Gap": Top Tools for Winter 2018

Khady Ndoye

This Podcast Episode Is Bilingual: French and English Khady comes from a bilingual family and grew up speaking Wolof and French. And as such, we will be speaking French during some parts of the episode. And my French is far from perfect, so trust that I'm doing mon mieux. If you are not an experienced French learner, there will be some parts of the podcast that you don’t understand. But like all language learners, you’re not alone in that feeling.  I always remember what the lovely Ron Gullekson said: “I want to get used to feeling uncomfortable.” So fear not, trust that we will come back to English again and again, and the interview will still be interesting for you. Let's Talk About African Languages If your language bucket list is longer than you'd like...you're going to HATE this episode 😛 There are over 2000 African languages, and most people don't know about their existence. There is a huge dominance of European languages, even on the continent itself, but learning African languages is more valuable than ever.

Swahili Hausa Yoruba Igbo Oromo Zulu Lingala ...and yes...Arabic!  why African languages are a great choice for any polyglot how you can go about learning one of these languages why it won't work to just say "oh, I'd like to learn an African language" Khady's a African music and TV recommendations!
