00:08today I want to share with
you my secret daily relaxing
00:14routine of learning languages as a beginner
00:22thank you so so much for liking my first
video about language learning about how
00:31to learn languages in a lazy way if you haven't
watched it I'll put a link right here actually I
00:40got a lot of questions regarding how to move
from a beginner's level to a level where you
00:47can start understanding what peoples are saying
in the videos or in the podcast and so on so on
00:55and basically to start adopting the lazy
language learning routine and it's such a
01:03great question and it just so happened that I'm
learning a brand new language right now which is
01:10Arabic so I would like to share with you guys
today my relaxing Arabic learning routine and
01:21you might already know this I I use the word
relaxing instead of lazy in this video because
01:30bad news as a beginner you still have to study
to some certain extent but I hate studying when
01:40it comes to language learning so I try my best
to make my routine As relaxing and yeah maybe a
01:50little bit lazy as possible just to have fun you
know in general let's get right into my relaxing
01:58Arabic language learning routine hey so it's
around seven o'clock in the morning and usually
02:07after waking up I spend around 30 minutes to an
hour learning languages because I find my brand
02:16working more efficiently in the early morning so
it's a great time to learn languages so I'll first
02:25start with reading out loud my own Arabic notes
so the thing is actually for Arabic I'm learning
02:35with a teacher right now well actually at First
I was like I don't want to spend any money when
02:43it comes to language learning you know nowadays
there are so many free resources online right and
02:50when it comes to language learning I just want to
spend as little money as possible however after
02:56doing all this research regarding Arabic learning
resources surprisingly there aren't that many on
03:05top of that Arabic is such a complicated language
with so many different dialects so in the end I
03:13just find it much easier to learn from a teacher
and I'm fortunate enough to find a teacher that
03:21match with my learning style a lot so anyway I'm
gonna start reading go up Di talaga the Sakina
03:39so what I'm doing right now is uh I have a shared
Note with my Arabic teacher I basically just wrote
03:49down all the vocabularies sentences or grammar
points I learned from him and then just put
03:57it on my own note it all for me I'm really old
school when it comes to language learning I can
04:02also put it on like a word file or like a Google
sheet but I just prefer to write it down I think
04:09there's this beauty of writing something down it
just helped me to memorize I don't really force
04:15myself to memorize all these vocabularies you
know as a beginner it is important to build up
04:20your vocabularies otherwise you wouldn't be able
to start understanding what peoples are talking
04:24in your talking language right but within this
I really don't want to make it into a study mode
04:31like I won't like test myself like ask myself what
is table in Arabic I wouldn't do that I just like
04:38keep reading out loud all the things I wrote on
my notebook and that's all that's how easy it is
04:53so you might be wondering just by reading out
now all these vocabularies or sentences are
05:02you really going to memorize those vocabularies
yes believe in me like you don't even need to
05:08force yourself to like or that test yourself in
these vocabularies if you're just like repeated
05:13it like every day and then just read it out
loud you are gonna memorize it believe it
05:18hi guys I'm back I'm gonna watch YouTube videos
05:35in Arabic and again just like what I do in my
previous video I specifically just like directly
05:43go with the Egyptian YouTubers that I found online
and this YouTuber tarim I really like his video
05:51it's very like high in quality and he shoot a lot
of like Vlogs type of video so I love watching it
06:00and also like this is actually my Arabic teacher
yeah he also do vlogs like travel Vlogs and really
06:08interesting to watch his videos as well and in
some of his videos he also put like subtitles
06:13English subtitles so it's also a great way to
First understand the content context of that
06:18video and then you can turn it off and then just
try to like watch it and just immerse yourself
06:24into the environment and you may be wondering
that as a beginner do you understand what he is
06:29talking no of course not 99. like nine percent of
time I do not understand anything he said [Music]
06:44when I find like um they are saying
something that for me it kind of
06:50sounded really interesting I just repeat after
them it's just you know for fun it's just like
06:55to have fun when watching a video that you just
understand nothing about what they say induction
07:14all right so I'm always so happy when I finally
understand a word for example Kareem he just said
07:26Talega Talega means refrigerator as you gradually
build up your vocabularies you're gonna understand
07:33more and more and just by Expose yourself to these
videos and for this video especially as a beginner
07:40I watch the same videos over and over like again
and again adapt yourself to how the local peoples
07:48are talking like there's speed and also the way
they pronounce the word Etc and the more you
07:55watch this kind of video the more you just like
find yourself unconsciously and gradually you
08:01just start understanding what they are saying just
like one day you will just all of a sudden notice
08:07that wow you are understanding like 40 of the
contents and later on 50 60 and 70 percent foreign
08:27and another good thing about starting to watch and
immersive solving how the local people talking is
08:40that it's really going to help your pronunciation
I know but there are ways of your study phonetics
08:45that will help you to better your pronunciation in
your target language but for me of course I do not
08:52study like I just don't like it so I love to just
immerse myself in just listening and expose myself
08:58to a lot of how the locals talk and I just find it
very useful for example for English like there are
09:07quite many people thought that I either went to
International School it's before or I lived in an
09:15English-speaking countries before but actually
I did neither of them and for Japanese as well
09:27hi guys so it's currently around
1 30 P.M I just finished my lunch
10:31and I'm very sleepy right now so I'm going to take
30 minutes nap and while taking a nap I'm going to
10:40listen to Arabic podcast since I'm not gonna
understand most of the podcast anyway so it's
10:48more like a background music for me and you don't
have the pressure of needing to pay attention to
10:55it because for me even if I pay attention to it
I'm not gonna understand it anyway so this is the
11:02podcast that I'm going to listen to It's called
I'm trying to read the Arabic alphabet here is
11:13podcast throws podcast and also another Egyptian
female YouTuber that like it's called Sarah hany
11:22and she also put some podcasts in her YouTube
channel so I also sometimes listen to it
11:34one hour later time time to wake up
11:43so the last thing I will do in my relaxing Arabic
letter name routine is that I will spend some time
11:56to write a journal you might be wondering wait but
aren't you a beginner how can you write a journal
12:05well the thing is for me even if it's one sentence
it's still a journal and I think writing a journal
12:14really helps you to practice the vocabularies
your grammar or sentences that you learn because
12:21personally I really don't like to force myself
or discipline myself to memorize all those points
12:29when I am writing a journal you will feel like
you are actually putting it into use instead of
12:34just like studying and then just like memorizing
all of it without even knowing how to use them or
12:40without even knowing that when are you gonna use
it exactly so it's very motivating for me in that
12:46sense so writing a journal really reminds me that
I can already use it write it into a sentence even
12:54as a beginner now I'm gonna write my channel so
do you guys still remember like the notebook that
13:03I mentioned in the morning often refer back to
the notebook that I have so when I'm writing the
13:10journal I just don't use any of the electronical
devices it's distracting anyway [Music]
13:25so I finished writing my very short Journal
today so among the four things that I did
13:32today which are reading out loud my notes
and then watching YouTube videos and then
13:38listening to podcasts and then writing journals
I would say in general all of them are quite
13:46relaxing I guess maybe the first and fourth
one are relatively hardcore but really like
13:52just no stress keep it consistent and just
do it every day and you're gonna for sure
13:57improve I guarantee you really you're just gonna
improve if you do it every day so that's about
14:03it thank you so much for liking my previous
video Yeah to you bye bye bye bye bye bye
14:14I really want to share with you guys the one model
that I find so inspiring when it comes to language
14:23learning which has less is more why I find this
model to be specifically so inspiring to me is
14:37because I think in this era we are very blessed
we have so many free resources or paid resources
14:45language learning resources online where we can
just get within a few clicks for a few seconds on
14:52top of that there are so many people sharing how
they learn languages and what different methods
14:59what different tips what different resources
what different apps they use so I used to be
15:06someone that I would spend hours and hours online
just researching for the materials that I think
15:14will suit me the most and just download
so many different language learning apps
15:19and so many different PDF files visit so many
different websites and so on so on and I will
15:28also watch so many videos regarding how to learn
languages and just like try out different methods
15:37of learning languages and in the end I found
that after I've done all this my energy and my
15:47motivation has already gone by 50 because to be
honest it takes a lot of energy and motivation to
15:59just like try to adapt to different methods and
try to research for different resources and when
16:05I actually am going to start learning my target
language my energy and my motivations has already
16:13only like 50 left right and you know as a beginner
it's especially challenging so you know my
16:22leftover 50 percent of motivation and energy were
still gone so and then in the end I gave up with
16:30language and that's the stories about basically
many different languages that I tried before
