Direkt írok most neked magyarul! El sem hiszed mennyire sokat segített nekem az amit most bemutattál a videóban Pontosan ettől szenvedek csak fordítva (angolt tanulom) Nagyon köszönöm, főleg azt, hogy láttam a megosztott jegyzetben, hogy nem kell félnem a hibáktól!
Comment from : @JagasitsPeter

Great video, thank you!😄
Comment from : @КсенияО-ж5г

I really like the logical method you implemented I speak English and Hungarian fluently It is kinda weird to see someone's struggle learning a language in reverse Meant that my mothertongue is Hungarian, but I learned English at a very young age 16 That is why I find your videos so fascinating Thank you

So helpful 🙏🏾
Comment from : @chadbailey7038

I tried it with Korean today, and even though it was difficult to write something long enough, I enjoyed a lot the correcting part! Thank you for this video!

i write a journal in English (my native language) and pay a native chinese speaker to translate into chinesethis is how i learn chineserelevant content
Comment from : @invisiblegraveyard4742

What if I am two weeks into learning ? Should I do this?
Comment from : @richardpateau8034

This is exactly the depth I needed!! Thanks so much for the clear process People keep saying to write when learning but they don’t say how to do it!
Comment from : @SB-lc5qg

Hi Lindie, I am an Afrikaans tutor When doing a writing excercise with my students, for example, if we have to write a letter together, to help them get started, I encourage them to give me a sentence in English and the we translate it together, using Stompi, don't know if you are familiar with that Is this the best way do improve writing or do you have other suggestions?
Comment from : @Afrikaanse_hulp

Thank you Lindie for your videos, I have discovered sooo many useful resources for language learning through them 😊
Comment from : @Panallpina

Szia Lindie, szerintem nagyon ügyes vagy, csak így tovább! Néhány apróbb nyelvtani hibát látok ugyan, de nagyon jól haladsz ❤ további sok sikert 😊

Thank you for sharing this - very helpful
Comment from : @MyDarlin1

Hi I sometimes do this with English, but unfortunately I can't correct it, 'cause I don't know what I did wrong😅🥺😭 (I just can read it) It doesn't stop me either way, after some time it would be hilarious to go back and read how much funny mistakes I made You did pretty well
Comment from : @lonelyfrog5499

What was the first app you mentioned for your corrected notes? Journaly?!
Comment from : @lucie442

Great tips! Thank you ✨
Comment from : @ThePlannerPlaceCo

When I started posting my writing on sites like Journaly, it took me a surprisingly long time to embrace/get over the slight embarrassment that I felt whenever someone found half a dozen errors in just a few sentences of writing I've always been complimented as a very good and eloquent writer in English and was basically the human form of Grammarly for my friends' writing, but suddenly I was writing in a language other than English, and I wasn't as good as I was used to being I had to realize that the corrections obviously weren't directed at me as a person; these people just want to help me learn, and I put it up there so that they would do that The point that I'm trying to make is that these mistakes and typos that you make and corrections that other people make will only help you get better, and you shouldn't get discouraged or embarrassed by them
Comment from : @lostfroggs

Well done Lindie, a great idea that I will use myself Thank you !
Comment from : @solea59

3:23 - Lindiegirlare you using Korean notes to study Hungarian? I quit lmao That's mad inspiring!

Great tips and ideas thank you !
Comment from : @LaraChristine

I like the background pumping song It give goosebumps 😁
Comment from : @cheersfor6323

Thanks for your videos It's so helpful ! As a beginner in korean and russian It's hard for me to write full correct sentences But everyday, at the end of the day, I try to write a full text or at least a little sentence about the day in each language I learn including spanish and english (cuz I'm French), but your method will help me to do it more efficiently Thank you so much for your videos !
Comment from : @cynthiacourvoisier

I am so glad to find this kind of video, very useful as always Thank you so much, Lindie
Comment from : @teresitalozada

Super helpful Your advice and delivery is honestly awesome :)
Comment from : @EU-PTJourney

I think your approach is a very effective tool in learning most of the language in its context This is what I call phase 1 in the language acquisition process brPhase 2 is the speaking and conversion process which requires a different approach Little studying and lots of practice This is typically two years for full immersion brPhase 3 is similar but it’s the understanding process This process encompasses all of phase 1 and 2 In the additional understanding process this requires even more time You will be increase your phonetic accustomization (Understanding everyone who speaks colloquially) This process takes up to 3 to 4 years with total immersion The two elements are watching tv and engaging with the community brAfter all the phases are completed you will begin to think naturally in that language in some cases you’ll be more comfortable in that language than your native

Ek is besig om Spaans te leer en jou videos help my so baie Ek dink dis die eerste keer wat dit vir my bereikbaar voel want ek approach die leer proses op ‘n hele ander manier So baie dankie!
Comment from : @marykevanjaarsveld7139

this is so helpful, thank you!! everyone keeps saying a great tip is to journal in your target language but i just feel so stuck cause i feel like i have little foundation to build on but i can see how useful it is to be able to recognize my own thought patterns and common words/phrases
Comment from : @caraamethyst6956

Nomadland was a great movie indeed I'm trying to learning Korean, but just getting my head around Hangul and the sounds before I attempt writing stuff like this

How do you know or decide what words are important?

Comment from : @Hókuszpók_jéghokizik69

I recall you using essays to practice your comprehension Could you potentially do a video showing us how you do that?
Comment from : @misaandcoart

Hey Lindie, I'm French (so sorry if i make English mistakes 😅), I'm 15 years old and I'm learning Russian on my own (well trying) I watched many of your videos (not all 😄 sorry) and i really admire you (you speak a lot of languages and you're always smiling !! 😊) brSo, I don't know if you'll see my comment (I hope you will 😁) but here's the problem : I am so motivated in speaking languages (russian for now) I know some of the basic words and phrases (and I wish one day I'll become fluent 🤩 but for now I'm very far from it) and I watched maybe a hundred of "language learning" videos (instead of studying, I watch videos who tell me how to study 🤣😂) and even if I watched a lot of those videos, I'm still confused, and a bit lost brI bought a notebook to write things as you do inside, but I don't even know what to write and HOW to write (I mean, I don't know enough vocabulary and the russian's "déclinaisons" (sorry I don't know this word 😅) and a lot of other stuff which could help me at writing) I have a grammar book, I have a lot of language learning apps, and I even have a russian tandem partner (but as we're young and unexperienced it's quite difficult to teach each other) And with all of it, I feel like I'm more lost than at the beginning, so I don't know how to start brThe question is : could you, please, tell me what can I do ? I really need you 😅brThank you and have a great day !! 😄😉I love what you're doing, keep going !!
Comment from : @fenoexnb8759

when you write using the method you talked about in the video (using english words when you don't know the language in your L2) do you still write in the L2 grammar? So for example in korean if you didn't know the word for water would you write something like "이갓은 water입니다"? sorry if this is a silly question :)
Comment from : @michaelshort2388

I really want to be able to write in Korean It's one thing I want to be able to do I need a better grasp of sentence structure, though and an easy understanding of how Korean is different in reading vs Writing
Comment from : @jasminedubois6711

Hi LindiebrActually i have just started learning English, could you recommend English books for learning englishbrThanks
Comment from : @LazyLee22

Hi, lindie i love your videos and im not sure if you have went over anything like this before but i want to ask you when you were learning chinese or your first Character based language, how did you learn to read it since, i do not have any prior knowledge in Character base language i find it very hard to understand or even find content i like that has a transcript Thank you, have a good day
Comment from : @camrenkennedy64

I will do this!! Thank you Lindie ^_^
Comment from : @ulicec

im on chromebook and idk how to get french accents for the e's and such
Comment from : @hollybarker3229

I love this! I always stop to look up words I don't know in the dictionary, but I'm definitely going to start using this method It will be so satisfying to be able to flip back through my journal and see fewer and fewer corrections as I improve Thank you for the great idea! <3
Comment from : @sharonm4257

Ügyes vagy, és emelem a kalapom a kitartásod előtt! :) Csak így tovább, mert nagyon jól beszélsz magyarul! :) És még a levél szövege is majdnem jó lett nyelvtanilag, egy kettő mondatban voltak ugyan bakik (apróbb hibák); de egy magyar anyanyelvű is tökéletesen megérti, hogy mit is írtál A nomádok földje c filmről ;) :)
Comment from : @sandorguth

I wanna do writing, but I'm always outta ideas, idk what to write about
Comment from : @rk6483

That's such a great idea I think I'll try it in a couple of weeks when I know some more words😇
Comment from : @marquisdehoto1638

I am learning chinesefollowing 2 or 3 resources sometimes becomes challenging Your practice method gives me courage to keep going✌谢谢你

I've actually met you on omegle So nice to meet you! Im kinda shocked You said you come from south africa and you live in singapore that's how i knew it's you! :D
Comment from : @WaterFAK

Sorry for this question to be totally Unrelated to this specific video but Isn't 아름답다 supposed to be 아름다와요 instead of 아름다워요 ? brAs the last vowel in the stem word is ㅏ ??brbrNeed Guidance(Just thought someone who would be learning korean might be here)🤕
Comment from : @akazawayuki984

Hey!! I really like you and your channel❤️❤️ what do you think about Slavic languages? Do you want to learn one?
Comment from : @alicegordievskaya2983

I've always wondered about this question since you're always using pen and paper for your learning🙂 Have you tried using a fountain pen in your studies before?brspoiler bI'm a fountain pen devotee/bbrThanks, new sub here!!
Comment from : @raffisandoval9103

Hey Lindie how do you go about learning a language that barely has an resources of substance I’m trying to learn Norwegian and a lot of the apps don’t have it Which I get cuz only like 5 million people speak it If you have any tips that would be great

Hey Lindie! Love your videos As a hungarian, I found deepl Com and webfordifashu to be the best tools for translations First is ai black magic, the second is ingenous semantic translation
Comment from : @Kukasauto

Sok sikert! ^_^br As a person who is hungarian, lived in Korea two times, communicated there mostly in english :D I found this video very fun :D

So happy to see you're using journally I think you and Robin McPherson make such wonderful viedos and I hope there will be a collab some day!
Comment from : @virginiavallejos5452

Hi lindie! This is not related to the video but it's something i'm curious about 😅 do you listen to korean sermons? If you do, how long did it take for you to completely understand sermon in korean? I had an intermediate level in listening comprehension but listening to sermon in korean is a whole other level to me 😢 my head hurts when i do lol can you give some advice on advancing to that level?
Comment from : @kjia98

I want to try this but I think my grammar is bad and that I don't know enough words :
Comment from : @mervaid

More of chinese How to remember characters and I struggle so hard with the pronounciation :)brThank you for your care about us!
Comment from : @alexandergulder6532

This is a brilliant idea oh my goodness I’m gonna start doing this immediately, but with my own twist! Your version is super in-depth lol I can speak Italian just fine from a script, but I cannot remember things so maybe if I focus on writing my memory will improve and speaking will come next!
Comment from : @UnpaidInternJR

Thank you so much for this video, i've started studying korean recently and I was asking myself how I should practice writing because I study grammar and vocabulary but never use it and this is just such a great method , I think I'm going to use it too (adapting it obviously) Thank you again! your channel is amazing!
Comment from : @ranocchiasimpatica

Great ideas! Really appreciate you sharing these gems w/ us Keep 'em coming :-)
Comment from : @crooniegrumpkin4415

Lovely exercise will definitely be trying it out on my current challenge as well 😁
Comment from : @andrewgibler

Check out the "SZTAKI SZÓTÁR" site for online dictionary It suggests rarely used meaning for words usually, and sometimes provides full sentence examples for specific words It offers the meanings of certain often used phrases too, not just single words
Comment from : @badideas5757

Your video is so inspiring! I've never watched this kind of video before
Comment from : @zazuzazuka9307

Lindie using Journaly! How awesome!
Comment from : @plumhead195

It's always heartwarming to see someone learning my native language Quick tip: if you have an iPhone and Mac, you can copy-paste between them without having to use Whatsapp :)
Comment from : @BalintFarago

This looks really clever, I love it! I've been shying away from keeping up a journal for my Spanish because I honestly didn't know how to go about it in an effective way I'll definitely try this Thanks for sharing!

I know so few words but I wrote down the steps and wrote a very small sentence, I will work on it!
Comment from : @hopefillledday9026

Have u ever thought about being a translater or interpreter? brI also really keen on learning langugaes and I'm fluent in 4 of them However I'm not sure that turnig them into a profession would be a good idea or would it be better to just keep my langugage skills and love of langugaes as a hobby What do you think?
Comment from : @vviki23

So helpful! I'll give this a try this weekend! :)
Comment from : @tinyquail

I love how thorough your approach is I also like that you’re kind to yourself throughout the process! I use some similar principles when practicing writing in Ukrainian, but I definitely learned a lot from this video and will implement those things in the near future! Thank you for sharing 😊
Comment from : @clairewoodfin3336

I am learning Korean and I am having problem with writingbrCurrently what I am doing is "Podcast dictation"brIts help me to sew what I think was right during the podcast and after that check it if it right or wrong by naver dictionarybrI know its random and will not work but something is better than nothingbrP S I will try your method too when I will become more confident on my grammar, sentance structure and more vocabs 😊

Comment from : @clairegittens3707

This is so awesome! I like your layout and how you go about getting your final result so that you have something to practice with Looking forward to trying this myself
Comment from : @phantomx2003

This has reminded me that I always had a notebook for every language I was learning and did actual writing regularly I've got so used to just passively reading and it's not enough
Comment from : @claireloub

Thank you for the video! I also learn Hungarian for around 8 months and I am quite good at listening, because I am lucky to have Hungarian friends and colleagues, although I live in Austria (I am Russian tho, but anyway), and my speaking is ok, but I barely practice writing and I regret neglecting it, as well as I feel bad about not learning grammar thoroughly, like, from the book I learn Hungarian like a child, just by listening, memorizing, repeating, analyzing and coming to conclusions about the usage of words based on the native speakers' speech That was not my purpose to learn like this, I am just too lazy But this week I have been thinking that I need to write in HU more, and pay more attention to the grammar Your video kinda gave me even more enthusiasm and motivation ❤️ And your handwriting is just so beautiful, I join to the people writing here about it and say that your handwriting is absolutely fabulous even when it's just some side quick notes - it's still ahhhh beautiful Lindie, I adore your videos with all my linguist heart and I wish us both (and all HU learners) to never give up on Hungarian, this language is a treasure ❤️💪 Thank you for what you do, Lindie! ❤️ Ügyes vagy!!!brPS Hello mindenki magyar aki olvassa ez a megjegyzést 👋 Az anyanyelvetek nagyon nagyon szép! ❤️
