Hi everyone, long time no see!
I am Lindie in case you haven't met me
and today I want to talk about language learning
right now I started learning Thai
and it's so hard for me
but yeah I wanna talk a bit about languages
and yeah, let's begin!
First I want to talk about my experience
idk how to say that in Hungarian, sorry
I started learning languages when...when...
Idk how to say....
when I was a student. Yes
I learnt Urdu and French at school but
it was a little boring
I can speak a bit of French
not a little, but
a lot?
I don't know "medium"
at an okay level
I can speak French but I stil can't speak Urdu
It's the language of Pakistan
And since I had a lot of Korean friends
I started learning Korean about 11 years ago
and the other languages I can speak are...
Japanese,
Korean,
English, French, Afrikaans
and now I'm learning Thai and
Spanish
and Chinese
I don't remember the other languages
but it's not important now
it's important to listen and read a lot when learning a new language
I always listen to Hungarian podcasts and read blogs
and uh
listen to a lot, a lot of Hungarian music
I think it's not important
you don't need a textbook but
but it's so important to listen and read a LOT
if you listen to a language a lot
you can best...no
you can speak better
sorry, Hungarian is so hard
I drank a lot of coffee today so I am trembling a little cause of the coffee, sorry lol
anyway it's better if you read about your hobbies
for example I really like design
like UX design. It's really important to read about your hobbies
because you can concentrate and it's interesting
and the most important is
to do a small thing every day in language learning
like reading, listening, learning new words, talking to friends
How do you say et cetera in Hungarian? I don't know yet.
and I think that if beginners do not practice
it's new...no
it's easy to forget new words
and easy to forget the language if you do not practice
I get this question a lot. The question is...
what is the biggest mistake that beginner language learners make
the biggest mistake is
writing down everything that is in a textbook
it's really important to
lol I spoke French by accident
it's really important to
important to NOT write down everything from a textbook
yes
my tip.
Now I want to talk about my time...time... time for learning languages.
Well
I don't learn too many languages at the same time but
I only want to learn a new language when I already speak another one well enough.
I don't have a lot of time
because I'm a designer, so
so every day I want to do a little...thing? things? thing. [in language learning]. yes.
[Thai lesson]
[Hungarian notes]
For example
like when I am cooking or waiting for the bus
I listen to a language podcast
like Hungarin with Sziszi or
I don't remember, it's a Hungarian podcast
"Finally, Monday!" I really like that podcast.
um, yeah
I listen a lot, a lot to Hungarian podcasts
I can't...
know everything? I can't...
understand everything
but it's important to me to listen a lot
I also try to write something daily in Hungarian
This is my book in which I write Hungarian everyday!
For example on the first day I wrote
"I don't know how to say this well but every day I want to write Hungarian without a dictionary"
It's very difficult but I feel good because I want to speak and write better in Hungarian, my favorite language"
Yes. My favorite language is Hungarian.
And don't give up. Go!
And on the first...not the first
on another day, I wrote
"Today was my first day at work. It was really good because there was no work to do" lol
And I talked a lot to the designer people.
I have a new project tomorrow and I cannot "wait"
If there is a word I don't know
such as "wait"
I write English.
If I am not tired, I study one hour after work
Like Monday Hungarian, Tuesday Chinese,
Thursday French, etc.
And now I want to talk about my motivation
What is my motivation?
My motivation is
it's really important to me to be able to speak to other people
Since I have learned a lot of languages,
every day my life is fun and interesting. Yes.
Thank you very much, and....
and... I dont know how to say [I forgot how to say bye for a second]
Bye bye! Thank you and... Goodbye!
