saxquiz, I am not a fan of watching movies or TV etc. It is not portable and it is difficult to watch a movie 20 times, at lest for me. I like to listen and read and I like to get to where I understand around 75% of what I am listening to before I move on. That is why I like audio and text. That is why we developed the LingQ system.

Hey Steve, great videos! I agree with you that language should be absorbed with LOTS of listening, but are you of the belief that you can learn a language by only listening to authentic audio and watching TV? This would be without looking at any translations; getting everything from context over time. For example, starting with something like "French in Action" and watching those multiple times and then moving on to authentic TV. Are people who say that they learned a language from watching TV and movies exaggerating? I want to try this method and I'm wondering what you're thoughts are on it. I've learned Arabic to a degree, but it was with traditional methods such as vocab lists and lessons. Thanks much for all the work that you do!

raubergaucho you got your wish, check out my most recent video in German.

Peaceful, I will do a video in response to your question.

How did that French teacher inspire you? What did he do exactly? I am a language teacher, I would love to know!

It's not fair you have posted 1000 videos and only one in german.

How do i approach strangers? i always want to talk to them.. but im too nervous and i don't know how to not be a creeper when approaching them or what should i say at first? (im not much of a talker with people i dont know)

Korean will be coming but cannot say when, maybe a few months from now. You can use another slot for Korean for the time being.

Linguistics study is not, in my opinion, all that useful for language study.

Hi Steve,

Just started using lingq properly and its excellent.

I'm sure you get this all the time, but will you be adding Korean any time soon. I'm 18 now and want to start as early as possible.

Keep it up.

wait what?!?! that's crazy lingosteve. I just got a question about how many you speak. How did you end up speaking that many languages? You can Speak Japanese and Mandarain and Cantonese and that many?!?! Wow.. that's crazy. I was wondering if you took up linguistics as a major in college?

É isso aí!
