Finally,
How I learn a language? I am learning a language at school. At shool i learning English and Russian language. For me English language is difficult but it not a impossimble learn. On the one hand English language is easy to learn , but on the other nad this language not so east learning for me. Of cours I look at this language movies , and listen to music at this language. For me is challenge to learn English language , because I don’t understand very well this language. But the Russian language i learned when I was a little girl. I learned Russian language talking to Russian people , watching Russian movies, and listening Russian music. Now I only in Russian languange complecting a knowlegge . I suppose that one day I learned perfectly and I understand English language. It’s amazing when the man knows 25 language. It is amazing. It’s as if he wants learn other languages. Finally good luck to him to learn this 25 language perfectly, as well as other languages who wish to learn. On the one hand languages is hard learning, but on the other hand if there is will power and desire then is easy learn languages.
So… I learn languages with some entertainment help.
I like to watch maybe some videos on YouTube in a certain language, for an example, english or russian.
Maybe I dont understand at start but by time watching these videos I start to understand whats there said in the video.
On the one hand, this isnt the best way learning the language.
But on the other hand, this type of learning for me is fun and easy, this is the way how I can learn language in 24/7.
I suppose that I shouldnt count on this type of learning because I will not be always able to learn a language like this, I will maybe only understand the meaning of some word but not like type or say perfectly in this certain language.
Finally, I dont realy like care about if its a good way or a bad way, this is how it works for me and I dont want to change the way how I do it. In school, I only use these things that I learn in home or somewhere else just watching videos, in home I learn, in home there is peace and quiet, in school there is almost like a total warzone where quiet students war against loud students that dont want to do anything.
At my school we teach English almost as all schools of the world, maybe… My acquaintance with English was begun with the second class. It was told us about animals, taught to the numbers e.t.c. On the one hand, it already is the classics of studies to the language, ordinary cramming and before examinations not to sleep at night, to learn something. On the other hand, it is an outdated method of the language teaching already. To teach a language a new century on such principle bored already, they wanted something new and interesting. I suppose, for our century, it is needed to modernize the program to educating of language, because to the children it already not interestingly.Finally, I hope that it was interesting someone to read everything, that I wrote here, and the man in video say true and right things.
I am learning 3 languages German, Russian and English .I tell you how I learned this language. Starting Iwill tell you about the German language. German I learn at school,and at home as well as listen to songs in German. On the one hand listening to songs it is to listen to the word of understanding about what is the song on the other hand others it is only amusement .The next is Russian. Russian I learn talking to relatives, ask what does it mean if what I do not understand, and then it remains in memory. I suppose the Russian language as it will be useful to me later in life. Finally, it is the English language, and it is that learning only what is needed for school, at home I do not learn anything, because it seems that that’s what the school teaches is enough communication.
Hello!
I’m learning languages in school, those are English, German and little bit of Russian.
On the one handthese language learning is basically useless, if you want to work in factory, but on the other hand, if you know at least some languages you can hope you could work in some higher payed work.
I suppose i could learn a lot more languages, if would have the right motivation. Few days ago i downloaded an app called:”Memrise” where are lot of languages to learn. There i finally can develop my knowledge in my free moments.
On the one hand I’m learning english every time when I’m listening songs in english or watching movies. On the other hand I’m speaking with someone or weiting letters to my international friends on facebook. I suppose that I’m speaking good in english and I understan when someone is speaking with me. And finally I think I’m learning english every minute, because in our modern days english is international language and many things around us is translated into english and that is helping me learn faster.
I am learning a foreign language from the other classes, the first foreign language had started to learn the German language, I taught valoda.vācu 5 gadus.piekta class I Pump to learn the Russian language I learn for 4 years.English I learn from the sixth grade, I learn English 4 years.on one hand the English language I know less on the other hand the English language is the easiest to learn.

usually i use internet. i watch videos, read some news or just do my stuff like playing games. But mostly i watch videos. On one hand i think watching videos is good way how to learn, because you hear how to say that word or sentence. sometimes i just look for my favorite song and put in karaoke and try sing and read how it supposed to be. I supposed it`s not the best way to learn, because, many peoples these day`s spoke in slang. Finally, the best way, but definitely not the interesting way to learn is, just check all what you did in lesson or read some school book with the topic what you learn.

Hello,
The very 1st time I watched this TEDx video I was surprised how can someone not to mistake one language with another especially if he speaks as much languages as this guy from the video, sometimes it is reAlly hard even for me despite I know only 4 languages, because one word entangles with anorher in another language.
On the one hand I adore the amount of knowlege about anohet culture and sentiment he gained by learning all those languages, but on the other hand I feel sorry for him because he lost so much time by leatning them, because, I suppose, he could have used all this time to comunicate in real life with real persons around him.
I do believe thats he way he locks the society up from him.
Finally, for conclusion I can surely aver, I would love to met someone like this person and know something more about the real personality and the main goals of his life.
Regards, Alex
On the one hand i think that language is easy learn watch TV or Video In orginal language.On the other hand,Can be easy learn from teacher,or english peoples.I suppose,that languages easy learn everyday talking and learning from dictonary.
Finally,im thinking that languages personally im learning from dictonary and films.
it’s hard to learn languages, but on the one hand we have to learn languags because future in work we need,so we need to learn languages. On the other hand, if you not know languages it’s bad because in life need. I suppose, that is easy to learn but if don’t like languages then is hard to learn. i have easy because i like to learn.when starting to learn from the beginning then is easy. i don’t like learn Russian because i don’t like and I’m not interested.I the beginning i don’t like English and i not understand anything but finally i understand and like english language.
We need to know English as it is an Internatural language.
On the one hand I started to learn English at 8 years old. It was an entertaining way to learn worlds and activities. Tim Doner presents the same method.
On the other hand now. I learn grammar, listen to music,reading the books, watch video and try to communicate with English speaking people,but I feel a barrier.
I suppose, it’s true : the gift of acsents helps a lot in language learning.
Finally, I’d note that one should find the way of breaking the language barrier. And Tim Doner has done it.
How do I learn the language ?
I am learning the language from applications.
And then I try to involve the words to practical work.
I suppose, watching and seeing things or using books is easier to learn the language.
On the one hand it is a favorable way for peoples.
On the other hand wider visual aids i get on the internet.
Finally – I wish all success in language learning.?
Hey , my name is Lelde and I study english language in my school. Currently i’m in 9. class,class who have exam about english language.I’m not that person who can learn fast languages, usually I listen what my teacher tell’s, but thats for me is misterious language. I think most kids in my age learn english language from computer, playing games and talking with kids from all the world. on the one hand i can sit down in front on computer and try to play some games,visit some web pages where u can learn language and meet kid’s who want to help learn english language, but on the other hand i can’t because i’m scared to do that , because i don’t fell confident about my skills in english lessions and i don’t have time to sit in front of computer , beacuse i have volleyball practise.I suppose my volleyball practise is more importat to me then sitting in front of computer and emberasing my self ,about my knowledge.FINALLY my next biggest new year commitment is learn more english so i can be pround of my knowledge.
I know 2 languages quite well – Latvian and English, and I haven’t had too much trouble learning them. Latvian is my birth language while English I started learning when I was 6 years old.
On the one hand, I learned English through cartoons, while on the other hand, I learned it from video games. Both options are basically avaiable on TV, so you can say that the TV is the main assistant. I suppose, the fact that I started to learn English when I was 6 years old also really helps. Finally, I also talki to people, because of video games. from all over the world, like Denmark, Australia, UK and the US.
At the end of the day, I learnt a lot of English myself, and it has really helped me alot with talking to said people from the globe and also it helps me understand the story of TV shows and other stuff.
I Know 3 languages very well (latvian, english, russian) For me languages can’t be forced. All of languages that i know i learned as i go forward. On the one hand learned russian language because i play football and there is a lot of russian kids playing football, so i listened what they were saying and eventualy i learned the languaga of Russia. On the other hand the gadget(phone) helped me a lot, i started to watch some videos that wasn’t in latvian and i liked what they were doing, because they were funny.I suppose the language learning proces has come on its own. So from that day i have been watching videos and mastering the language. Now i watch movies only in english to get the best experience of the movie. Finaly i am happy that i had the chance to learn thees languages as i go.
I know 2 languages very well, except russian. 1st i start learning english language in the third class i guess :D, then i really like to be able to understand this language. The most from i can lear this language is video games and watching videos that contains video games. In the one hand i prefer US accent, but from the other hand i hate brithish accent becouse they talk like they have a hot potatoe in their mouth :). I suppose i’m finnaly done this home work!
I am learning English, Russian (foreign languages). English I really do not give up, because has not been a great exposure to the “English”. However, the Russian language I have a very good response, as has been large enough and good communication. Therefore, I can say that very much like this, in the English language, learn at least enough to have a conversational level!
