I selected “Teen speaks Over 20 Language” and “Polyglots Teen
speaks 23 languages” .
I really impressed the comment in first video, learning
language is “way of life” for Tim. He watches movies and TV shows and that connect
his study directly. I want to emulate
the way to use audio in studying language. I want to use YouTube, movies, TV
shows and so on.
And in the latter video, he said if you knew French, you were
able to understand languages which have same rule to it, like Italian and
Spanish. I learned French in my university, so I want to try other Romance
language. Also, he mentioned in video, to learn one language made it possible
to understand culture, history and society the language was used. I want to
understand the background of language I am studying.
I was also imprresed about his thinking about languages.
ReplyDeleteI think he recommended some methods we can try easily,so I also think I will try it.You can try the way you write in the end of this blog too.
Thanks your comment! I wanna try!!
DeleteI also think leaning language leads to knowing about the culture. I sometimes find an expression which the Japanese has but English doesn’t. At that time I feel a cultural gap between Japan and English-speaking countries. I think we can find it based on comparison.
ReplyDeleteThanks your comment, I want to understand the cultural background with learning some other languages. We should keep our eyes on to the gaps!
DeleteYeah it’s a good thing especially in the global context.
DeleteI also watched “Polyglots Teen speaks 23 languages.” In the video, I felt his great passion to understand each other across the barrier of languages around the world. He also mentioned the importance of understanding culture, history and society. Because our society is based on languages, we have to learn languages at first for mutual understanding in deeper level.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your impression. He has a great passion! I want to understand culture with learning languages.
DeleteI had an exactly same idea on the first video! We should make the most of the materials on the Internet.
ReplyDeleteWow, I am happy to share same idea! I'll try to make use of it!!
DeleteUsing audio for learning language is a lot of fun, I think. I am impresses that you try to carry out the ways for not only but also French.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your comment. I'll try that!
DeleteI studied Russia in my university, so I also try it.
DeleteMakes sense Nanako. It is also interesting how globalization has led to many words from English being adopted by a variety of languages, so knowing English offers you a headstart for learning them.
