I watched the two videos about Tim
Doner who can speak 20 languages. He can speak Russian,Italian,Chinese and
Indian etc.
He said he thinks the most rewarding part of learning Farsi is
understanding Iranian culture and history. I thought I should understand not
only their culture and history but also language when I hear that. He read many
newspapers with different languages in the video. He also read some books for
each languages. For example he introduced books written in French and German.
He thinks the best way to learn languages is using audio device and input
knowledge. He also said repeating over and over and watch movies is good for
learning languages. I like watching movies,so I will try this this method I
thought. He said he's leaning many languages without teaching from teacher.
However he spend most of his time to study languages. When I heard it,I thought
I can study language up to my efforts. I also thought I should make a lot of
effort harder than anyone else to seccess.
After I watched his movies
I thought he tries many methods to learn languages. If you try many
method to learn languages you can enjoy studying it. I will try some of the way
he recommended for us.
As you were impressed with him and thought you should do more, I think it is sometimes a good way to see some amazing people and be stimulated.
ReplyDeleteLet's work hard!
Yes,we should emulate them to learn something and enjoy it.
DeleteI will try his way first.
I understand how helpful it is to make the most of audio resources when you are learning language. It will definitely help develop your comprehensive language skills.
ReplyDeleteYes, we can use this way easily now because we are in English speaking country. Therefore we are able to think the native speaker has the same effect as the audio.
DeleteI agree with that audio device and tools for knowledge input are what Tim uses a lot effectively. I thought he used very effectively, repeating over and over and sometimes stopping video to write down phrase. I think your idea that we can enjoy studying a language if we try many method to learn a language is good.
ReplyDeleteI will try to stop videos when I find some ward I don't know and write down the ward.
DeleteI also wanted to try the method he recommended especially the one with movies!
ReplyDeleteYes!If you try this method,please tell me your review.
DeleteI don't like reading a book, but reading skills enables us to have input knowledge. Input knowledge can be important than lunguage skills itself.
ReplyDeleteI think so too. I don,t like to read the book too. However we have to try it to improve our English skills.

ReplyDeleteYes, I think that is a good idea to take away from Tim's philosophy - use a variety of ways to learn a language. And I would add the more quirky the way the better. Humour makes things memorable.
