A LINGUIST!\n\nToday I've got a very special linguist on the show: Mathilde from Elles Comme Linguistes, a French YouTube channel dedicated to linguistics pour tous! Mathilde visited the Fluent show to talk about what linguistics is all about and what it is like to do a PhD in Paris 🇫🇷.\n\n\n\"Traditional education is about languages, not linguistics.\"\n\n\nIn this show, we focused on learning more about loanwords like champagne in English, mousepad in French, kartofle in Polish and beamer in German. Every language has loanwords, but \n\n\nWhy do so many loanwords come from English?\nWhat decides why some words come into the language as loanwords?\nShould you use them when you're learning a language yourself?\n\n\nBILINGUAL EPISODE ALERT\nThis podcast is a bilingual episode, meaning that we occasionally switched into speaking French. This type of episode is fantastic listening practice if you are a French learner. If you are an excellent French speaker, I apologise for all the mistakes I make. If you are not an experienced French learner, there will be some parts of the podcast that you don’t understand. But like all language learners, you’re not alone in that feeling.\n\nI always remember what the lovely Ron Gullekson said: “I want to get used to feeling uncomfortable.” So fear not, trust that we will come back to English again and again, and the interview will still be interesting for you.\n\nThank you to Mathilde Hutin for this episode introduction.\n\nThank you for listening to the Fluent Show!

You may forget some, you may lose some, BUT hey you’re learning more than one language.\n\nIn this Q\u0026amp;A episode I answer a question from the wonderful Elizabeth:\n\n\nWhen did you know you were ready to start Mandarin?  And how do you keep your Welsh healthy, happy and well-fed?  What does a two language study routine look like for you?\n\n\nIn my answer, I'll take you on a trip through my language love life featuring English, French, Italian, Latin, Spanish, Polish, Icelandic, Luxembourgish, Welsh, Russian, and Chinese.\n\n6 Tips for Starting Another Foreign Language\n\nTip 1: Teach your previous language. That way you will never lose it and you’ll actually get extremely solid knowledge.\n\nTip 2: Keep saying YES, don’t worry so much about losing skills or levels. It's all part of life. You can get them back really quickly whenever you need to.\n\nTip 3: Use that interference when it comes up - it's your brain helping you with extra vocab.\n\nTip 4: Get to a point of “solidification”- for me it’s roughly B1, but ultimately it’s a gut feeling. When it’s a dabble, you’ll lose it. When it’s solid, you won’t.\n\nTip 5: Do intensive re-familiarisation weeks where you only study and practice your previous language. In country, out of country, in conversation. Weeks where you are rubbish at the start and better at the end. They boost your results!!\n\nTip 6: Have fun!!!! If you forget a language along the way, that is not a big deal. You don’t have to be so serious and it’s not like money. With languages, you get to have a serious go at playing.\n\nThank you to Katie Harrison for this episode introduction.\n\nThe Fluent Show is also backed by a community of supporters on Patreon.

Write your words on post-its and stick them up around quirky places that do have a connection to the ideas you’re describing. The added creativity involved in connecting the abstract concept to the object will help you remember it as you spent more time contemplating the word and making it ’sticky'\nThe Language Play Method In addition to associating the concept with an object, you can also use the linguistic characteristics of the word you’re trying to remember. This can be sound, spelling, etymology. Find what your word rhymes with, associate the sound of the word with its meaning, or research exactly where it comes from.\nChunks of Language Instead of individual words, the idea is to study chunks of language, that could be short sentences or little phrases that you can use. So instead of “hungry” you’d learn “I’m so hungry, I want to eat” or instead of “where” you’d learn the whole phrase “where is the bathroom?”. For your question of abstracts, this can be helpful because you now have a full sentence to write down and something that you can sing to yourself.\nFind examples of the concept in music and art\n\n\nThe forgetting curve: humans tend to halve their memory of newly learned knowledge in a matter of days or weeks unless they consciously review the learned material.\n\nThank you to Wesley for this episode introduction in Persian.\n\nIf you liked this episode, please tell someone about it.

She encourages you not to break the rules, but to look beyond the rules.\n\nHere are some questions we discussed:\n\n\nHow could you play with a language you love?\nWho owns the rules of a language?\nCan we see beyond the need to be correct, to achieve a higher level of connection and an authentic self-expression?\nDoes being so touchy-feely mean we'll miss all our goals?\n\n\nThis was a fascinating conversation about permission, ownership, and what we think we’re all allowed to do in another language. It helped me understand my role as language coach and language teacher in a whole new way.\n\n\n“It doesn’t need to have any specific goal or purpose. It’s just pleasure and self-expression.”\n\n“For me, a foreign language has to come along with my own personality and background. I can’t be following someone else’s rules.”\n\n\nWorkshop: Creative Writing, Public Speaking and Performance\n\nI want to let you know as early as possible that María and I are actually taking this one step further. We have been working on a joint language workshop inviting you to  explore how creative writing and performance find your voice and courage to speak and elevate your communication skills. \n\nIf you struggle to express your true self in another language, and wish you could find the right words for how you feel, this new workshop is just perfect for you.\n\nYou can catch this workshop at Langfest in Montréal (tickets available now, 15% off using code KERSTIN).\n\nSupport This Podcast\nLike all podcasts, the Fluent Show is supported by your online reviews and word of mouth. \n\nIf you liked this episode, please tell someone about it.

I’m trying out different methods in order to establish a routine that works best for me. This is starting to frustrate me because I feel like I am going in circles without making any real progress in the language.\n\nI absolutely love Japan, and so I’m trying hard to stay motivated and keep going, but the lack of progress is starting to zap my enthusiasm.\n\nIs this type of “wheel spinning” typical when you are a first time, self-directed language learner?\n\n\nOMG ELIZABETH I LOVE THIS QUESTION!!!!!!\n\nYou’re taking your first baby steps into indie learning and choosing what is right for you, and that’s just super strong and amazing.\n\nIn today’s episode, I’ll take the opportunity to talk you through a few key steps as I teach them in the Language Habit Toolkit, my all-in-one package to help you create a great language learning routine.\n\nThe idea of this language HABIT is so important because of what a good habit signifies.\n\n5 Steps To Establishing Your Language Learning Habit\n\nAssess your resources - are they right?\n\nYou want a guiding resource, some input resources, and a few reference materials.\nLearn more about this in my blog article \"No More Hoarding!\".\n\nAim for higher levels of COMFORT not skill\n\nWork with the right goals\n\nThere are two types of goals you need for language learning:\nVision Goals and Path Goals\n\nTrack what you do\n\nIf your goal is the habit, progress is coming closer to the language being an absolutely irremovable part of your life. Progress isn’t always about knowing one more word of vocabulary, but instead about one tiny little degree of comfort.\n\nMy most basic check-in is the “daily contact”, keeping me feeling accomplished even on super busy days.\n\nReview Regularly\n\nThis is where we find out what’s real and what’s not, and that means whether you are actually spinning your wheels. The key is to answer questions like \n\n\nWhat went well, what didn’t go well\nWas there any surprise\nWhat do I want to do next\nWhere am I in relation to my goals\n\n\nTRUST IN YOURSELF you’re doing an awesome job Elizabeth!!\n\nSupport This Podcast\nLike all podcasts, the Fluent Show is supported by your online reviews and word of mouth. \n\nIf you liked this episode, please tell someone about it.

Tomás has good English and regular exposure through books and TV, but he feels unsure about whether he's ready to add a new language like German or English.\n\nThis has happened to me a few times, and I’ve also studied up to 3 languages at the same time.\n\nIn this episode, I reflected on what matters most when you are facing this question and shared 3 core rules for you:\n\n1. When you don’t practice a language, you’ll lose a bit of it\n\nNot practicing a language doesn’t mean that you’ll never remember it again. In fact, you are unlikely to ever go all the way back to zero. \n\nBut it does mean that your progress will slow down and if you don’t do anything, it means that you will forget some of what you practiced in the language most recently. Remembering that memory is all about repetition and exposure, it seems likely that you’d lose what you were last exposed to. \n\nSo maybe as a rule of thumb expect that you’ll step down one level. But if you’re already a few years in, you won’t lose all those years.\n\nIf you stop actively studying after 3 months = it can feel like nothing sticks.\nIf you stop actively studying after 5 years = it will not all disappear.\n\n2. Make sure you adjust your expectations for both languages\n\nYou could be learning five, ten languages at once and in fact there are ways in which this will absolutely propel you forward. But don’t expect the results of a sprint when you are in fact practicing a triathlon. Progress is not linear - it’s not always what you expect or predict, and often your destination changes\n\n3. Declare your intentions\n\nOnce you have worked out your goals and you got in touch with what you really want, you get to decide and move forward. Your decision is not forever.\n\nAnd as far as I can see, you are in an absolutely perfect position.

Listener Simon from Dublin was feeling a MAJOR case of frustration and wrote in to the show. Here's some of what he said:\n\n\nSometimes I just cannot seem to lock down a concept in the language I'm learning, no matter how much I try. \n\nThese mental blocks can be demotivating. They force me to use simpler sentences than I know I can produce. They make me feel uncertain when trying to express certain concepts, and they can cause frustration when they seem like they're always going to be stopping my progress. Sometimes these blocks are the reason a person thinks they're not good at learning languages. \n\n\nFrustration In Language Learning\n\nThere's a truth about learning any language: Frustration is real and it's normal and it's extemely ennoying! Once you start to feel it, you have reached a new stage of growth...expect to be frustrated for a few years.\n\nFrustration's good sides are:\n\n\nIt's a sign that you care.\nIt pushes you to re-commit to the process of learning a language.\n\n\nYou cannot really eliminate all of this and fix every mental block, but you can REDUCE and EMBRACE the frustration.\n\nHere's how to do it:\n1) Change your outlook. The mental blocks are not hindering your progress. They ARE your progress.\n2) Deal with the practical challenges one by one, not all at once.\n3) Cut out comparison. Where you are right now is fantastic, and it's important to examine the source of your high expectations.\n4) Set the best possible goals for yourself by leveraging the Zone of Proximal Development - not the Panic Zone!\n\n\n\nMore about all this in the episode - click play and I hope you'll find it helpful.\n\nThank you to Stephen for this episode introduction and to kick-ass language learning app Clozemaster for supporting this show.Sponsored By:Clozemaster: Visit our sponsor Clozemaster, the free addictive language app in over 50 languagesLinks:Why do we get frustrated when learning something? - QuoraThe 30-second briefing: What is the zone of proximal development? | Tes NewsThe Language Habit Toolkit | Fluent Language — Goal Setting and more with the Language Habit ToolkitZone of proximal development - WikipediaThe German Pronunciation Masterclass | Fluent Language — Example of a pronunciation course and its structure","content_html":"\u003cp\u003eListeners, this is a big question and let me tell you I wrote several pages of notes to answer it.

For most independent language learners, listening comprehension is what starts bridging the gap between reading a textbook and moving on to confident and independent language use.\n\nFor Elisabeth as a French learner in particular, there’s a lot to unpack.

In my experience, it’s easy to overestimate your skills.\n\nWhere can you go to find good listening material?\n\nDuring selection of materials, consider:\n\n\nLevel right for you?\nLanguage register (formal/informal) right for you?\nTopic interesting?\nAffordable and accessible for you?\nWhat do you need to understand, what do you want to understand?\n\n\nRemember: “A polyglot cannot survive on audio alone”.

A lot of this is thanks to Chuck's contributions, along with the wonderful Polyglot Gathering team. \n\nThis year, Chuck published his first language learning app, Amikumu.\n\nWhat is Amikumu?\n\nWant to text another person and ask them to meet up and practice a language...without looking creepy?\n\nAmikumu will help you find people near you who love languages. The purpose of the app is to help you find people nearby to chat and meet up, and it supports the world's 7,000+ languages (including 100+ sign languages).\n\nThe idea for Amikumu came out of Chuck's love for the planned language Esperanto. It’s not a natural language choice, it’s a minority language. Why would anyone bother to learn?\n\nLanguage Learning Apps\n\nIn recent episodes, we've covered language learning apps on a regular basis. If you have a smartphone and you live in the 21st century, they are an essential component of language learning. More and more developers are working on apps for language learning, and Chuck's experience stands out from the crowd: he is the creator of Duolingo's Esperanto course. \n\nIn our interview, Chuck explained how he came to work on Duolingo and why he loves gamified learning, how we can bring more soul into language learning apps...and why you could probably learn a language if you have three apps.\n\nCheck out Chuck's app recommendations in our link list below.Special Guest: Chuck Smith.Sponsored By:Clozemaster: Visit our sponsor Clozemaster, the free addictive language app in over 50 languagesLinks:AmikumuAmikumu's Kickstarter CampaignClans of Caledonia: A Game about Whisky, Trade, and Glory by Juma Al-JouJou — KickstarterTrovu loĝejon | Pasporta ServoMemrise - Learning, made joyfulLearn Esperanto in just 5 minutes a day.

The interview in today's episode was one of the most amazing and inspiring ones that I have ever recorded. I loved talking to André Klein, a fellow German native speaker and teacher of German. It is really a gem, there is so much in there just for you to take a new, fresh, alternative approach to language learning.\n\nFluent NewsMy books Fluency Made Achievable and The Vocab Cookbook are finally here, and you can buy them to really improve your language learning methods.

Full info over at www.fluentlanguage.co.uk/bookNews Article: 20 BBC readers who lost fluency in their languageWhen we find ourselves in an immersion environment, sometimes it can be hard to remain entirely at ease with the language we grew up with. The BBC collected stories and opinions from 20 readers who shared their own stories.Examples include swearing in your native language versus swearing in a foreign language, saying \"I love you\" and losing your native dialect.Here is a sound sample of Moselfränkisch, my fun German home dialect (does NOT sound like German)Send me your own opinions to kerstin@fluentlanguage.co.ukHave you lost fluency in your own first language?Is immersion worth losing your languages over?Do you fear this ever happening to you, or would it make you proud?Main Event: Interview with André KleinAndré is a writer, teacher, linguist and creator. He runs learnoutlive.com, a fabulous blog and learning resource for language learners AND teachers. What I love about André is how he innovates quietly, and in his own way. A total pioneer. His books are now read in schools teaching German, and students get to enjoy language learning much more!An App shows you smiley faces, but if you don't go out and speak to someone you will never know where you are on the scale.Stories help learners get the feeling of relating to the language as a whole, not just individual parts of it.You can't torture people with the Konjuktiv 2 and sentences that go on and on forever and nobody knows where the verb is!We must not treat learners as empty receptacles - go out and explore!Main Points:Which Language is André learning right now - and why doesn't he find stories to study with?Why it's so tricky to speak to those native speakers!André's surprising tip: What is the best genre for finding simple and engaging language learning content?Where is the riskiest aspect in learning a language through reading by yourself?André's amazing and innovative Choose Your Own Adventure Kindle Books -- and what happens when you misunderstand something in one of thoseHow has the internet changed language learning? Forums, Duolingo and exchanges, are they actually making learning easier?How are Andrés self-published story books different from classic textbooks?Why are we independent language teachers, writers and educators?
