I'm boarding for Taiwan 🇹🇼 and will stay there for 3 months!
Hopefully my Chinese will have improved by the time I return. 😁

How do you feel about people correcting your grammar while you're talking to them?

Das Standardwort für "zuhören" im südtiroler Dialekt ist "losen", verwandt u.a. mit Engl. "listen".

Laut Duden ist dieses Wort nur im süddeutschen Sprachraum verbreitet.
Für diejenigen aus Österreich/Schweiz/Bayern usw., wird es bei euch benutzt?

I've often been asked: "Which of your many languages do you think in?"
And I could never answer it.
I thought there must be something wrong with me, I don't think in any particular language.

Do you think in a specific language? Do you actually think in full sentences?

Ich werde immer wieder überrascht, wie viele deutsche Wörter mit denen ich aufgewachsen bin, in Deutschland nicht existieren.

Nach Beistrich ist das letzte solche Wort "Fallfehler".

Deutsche machen also keine Fallfehler? 😅

Why can AI models never ask me for more information and instead make assumptions that are often wrong?

When I start learning a new language, these are the words I learn right away:
but, because, therefore

Why these? Because they are the basic building blocks for expressing things. Of course you need all the other words as well, but these three words connect everything.

Having a bad study session > not studying at all

Learn languages every day

The logic of traditional language education:

Can you understand a film? No
Can you read a book? No
Can you have a conversation with someone? No
So what are you gonna do? I’m gonna review the rules for using the conjunctive.

Have you ever learned IPA to help improve your pronunciation?
Do you find it helpful?

If you had to learn German again from zero, what would you skip entirely?

What is your reason for not learning any Indian languages?

I truly believe that learning German is easier than many people think.
Yes, mastering the grammar is difficult, but you can get by without that. German shares a lot of vocabulary with English and much more.

Why do you think we learn languages so much more easily as children than as adults?

Or is that actually not even true?

In a recent survey I saw that most language learners spend 3 hours or less per week studying a language.

Can we ever become fluent at that pace? 🤔

I tried to analyse and answer that question in my latest video → youtu.be/JFMUw8jJGcU

Do you think certain languages are objectively beautiful or does it depend on your own language?

E.g. I often hear Americans say that French is so beautiful, but growing up in Italy I rarely heard that.
I wonder if it sounds beautiful to American ears more than to Italian ears.

I'm off to Indonesia for 10 days to attend a wedding and see some parts of the country.
I had planned to learn Indonesian but sometimes life happens and I just didn't get around to doing it.

But it's okay, there'll be another time. 🙂

When we struggle in our target language, it's stressful and exhausting.
But if we understand better how our memory works, we can reach fluency much faster.
I discuss in this video how to stop thinking and start knowing a language.
