love ur videos... I love advise from older people, I'm young and some young people I speak with are just super dumb... even my husband! Anyways thans for the good videos ;)
You know Steve, these days I am shuffling between Tony Robbin's books, your and other videos about success and language learning. I really think that we have power to change our life in some good way , especially with the foreign language.

there is an interesting phenomena in computing/robotics. the leaders in this field with the most breakthroughs are unusually quite young. a possible explanation that was given was that the younger people aren't yet familiar with what can and can't be done, so they are more bolder in their attempts than older more jaded veterans. because the industry is very fast paced and accelerating, what couldn't be done 2 years ago could be done now... but our belief systems don't seem to account for it.
I found the part about focusing on the results visually more than focusing on "how to do it" come into play when we are starting to think about speaking in a language. Ive seen some language learners try to say something and they start saying it 20-50 times and it never really improves. Yet letting it resinate in your mind and focusing on the result, realizing you wont get it right then but focusing on it sounding perfect when you choose to say it is much more beneficial.
Hi Steve, I watched the Tony Robbins video, and the experiments with the basquetball groups -practice, no practice, conditioning perfect shooting (their believes)- I recall reading about it in the book "Peak Performance: Mental Training Techniques of the World's Greatest Athletes" by Charles A. Garfield. It's full of exercises that I remember practicing when I played pro racquetball.
Believing you can achieve anything is the key thing. I remember when I started learning Greek many years ago, I believed I could make it and now my Greek is very good. :)
i was introduced to this anthony robbins video by AJ Hoge last year. AJ even did a free video explaining the vocabulary used in that video for his effortlessenglish members.
AJ Hoge is an english teacher+motivational speaker.
He's been in TED talks, and actually his was one of the rare talks that were given extra minutes for finishing. In the personal development industry, some stuff is very valuable some other is just the average "you can do it". You need to filter some stuff and spread the good stuff.
Good video, Mr. Kaufman. I recommend "The Practicing Mind" by Thomas M. Sterner. The author discusses how changing your perspective from the final outcome (goal) to the PROCESS of reaching that outcome increases productivity and fun. Basically- process not product. I try to incorporate this into my own studies. I do not focus on the final outcome so much as I just enjoy speaking and learning the language. You should check it out!
Anthony Robbins is one of my favorite motivational speaker. He is the one who helped me to believe I can do anything at age 17... I started learning Spanish because of his tapes and now I am a believer that anything is possible. Another favorite is Dr. Myles Munroe.
Some people have difficulty because:
1. Faulty study methods
2. Poor memories
Then the above two lead to disappointment, which then leads to lack of belief ... lack of motivation.
Memory comes before acquisition.

Hi Steve
This is not the first time that I see somebody using Tony’s “Upward Spiral” to talk about Language Learning.
I once say AJ Hoge talking about it.
The most interest part is that both of you drew some similar conclusions.
I sent you this videos as a responde to yours.
I know that this video is a little old but I hope you like it.
Best regards.
Thanks for your ideas on language learning. They have helped me a lot.

Mr. Kaufmann, does your name have any connection with the german word?

his family grew up in a German speaking community in Austria, I believe. So his last name is indeed German.
