The Language Learning Show

In this episode, I replied to a comment from a follower who said the following: "language learning sounds so hard and I'm so tired. Mostly I do 3 minutes a day on Duolingo because I have no energy these days." Feel free to to message me @polyglotazren or email me at https://azrenthelanguagenerd.com/contact if you have any comments or questions.

I realized recently how much CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) and TBLT (Task-Based Language Teaching) have helped me in my language learning journey, particularly at the intermediate level. I explain why this is in this video. Contact me @polyglotazren or by email at https://azrenthelanguagenerd.com/contact if you have any comments or questions.

A podcast where I discuss switching languages, decision paralysis, and the importance of knowing yourself as a language learner. The writing program I referenced is https://essay.app. Contact me @polyglotazren or at https://azrenthelanguagenerd.com/contact if you have any comments or questions.

If you're learning a language and feel frustrated about a grammar point, a letter that's hard to pronounce, or even just a general lack of progress, this video is for you.

In this video, I answer a question from a viewer. This individual wanted tips on what he could do to avoid getting stuck when he hears a native speaker use a word he doesn't know. As many of us can probably relate, it's so easy to get stuck on a word we don't know and then stop listening to what someone is saying altogether. I hope this video helps you overcome this challenge.

Aside from discussing the effectiveness of immersion, I also share a few insights I had after watching a talk about language acquisition by Stephen Krashen. Contact me @polyglotazren or at https://azrenthelanguagenerd.com/contact if you have any comments or questions.

I'm back after a 5-week break! I was in Mexico for 2 weeks, Ottawa for 1 week, and I took 2 weeks to myself as a staycation. In this episode, I share my plans for Gujarati self-study resources and a piece of advice around immersion. Enjoy!

I believe that private language teachers can benefit from taking private lessons themselves. I recently took two Korean lessons and learned a useful way to improve fluency and make learning more immersive. In this episode I also share a simple activity to your improve listening comprehension skills and one way traditional language classes fall short.

The movies I mentioned are Language Lessons with Natalie Morales and Mark Duplass, along with Wakanda Forever. The actress I mentioned who spoke 5 languages in Wakanda Forever is Lupita Nyong'o.

The CEFR is a widely used framework for to measure proficiency in another language. Although many language learners are aware of the six levels ranging from A1 to C2, there is a lot they do not know about it such as:   → The elusive seventh level of fluency  → What the the CEFR Companion Guide is and how to use it to be a better language learner  → Sub-categories of proficiency for each of the 6 main levels   I talk about this and more in today's episode.

If you thought fluency equals confidence, think again. There is not a direct correlation between the two. Listen to this episode for an explanation of why this is and how to actually develop more confidence.
