Steve's Language Learning Tips, When Learning a Language DON'T Study the "Basics"

When Learning a Language DON'T Study the "Basics"

Hi there, Steve Kaufmann here, and today I'm gonna tell you don't try to learn

the basics of the language that you are trying to learn, and I'll tell you why.

But remember, uh, if you enjoy these videos, please subscribe.

Click on the bell for notifications, and if you follow me on a podcast

service, please leave a comment.

I do appreciate it.

I'm gonna tell you, don't try to study the basics.

Don't try to master the basics.

Don't even worry about the basics in a language, especially at the beginning.

Why do I say that?

A number of reasons.

Uh, first of all, because I have found it impossible to master the

basics of grammar, the basic, uh, vocabulary, the basic anything, uh,

if I deliberately try to do so, and that's despite looking over explanations

and conjugation tables and all this other stuff, it just doesn't work.

The second thing, and I think this might be more interesting, is something called

the Natural Order of Language Acquisition.

It's one of Steven Krashen's, sort of, principles of language acquisition,

and it says that there is a natural order, uh, according to which we

acquire the structures of a language.

And if you were to, uh, Google the, uh, Theory of Natural Order of Language

Acquisition, you will find all kinds of, uh, material on the subject.

It's a bit controversial.

You'll find people supporting the idea.

You'll see people criticizing the idea.

One of the criticism seems to be that obviously if an English speaking person

is learning French, then there may be a natural order of acquisition for that

English speaking person learning French.

However, if a Spanish speaking person learns French, then that natural

order would be different because obviously the Spanish speaking person

is influenced by their familiarity with, you know, Latin based languages.

So assuming that that's true to me, that doesn't in any way make the theory

of natural acquisition less valid, it just says that there is a natural

order of acquisition, which may be different depending on your native

language and depending on the language you're trying to learn, but there is

a natural order, uh, you know, are we gonna learn, you know, uh, if it's

English, I go, or I'm going, which one are we gonna start using earlier?

Uh, should the teacher teach you the, I'm the continuous form first or in Spanish

... uh, before to, you know, the form ...uh, Is it important for the teacher

to sort of determine, you know, in chapter one we will teach you this, and

in chapter two we will teach you that.

And by the 20 chapters of this book, you will have acquired all the basics

of the language or uh, and this is, I think, Krashen's view and my view,

and that is that you will gradually acquire these different aspects of the

language in an order that is more or less the same for everyone, depending

on your native language, depending on the language you're learning,

depending on some other factors as well.

But there is a natural order and the teacher and the instructions will

not influence that order so much.

Uh, so, uh, but if you do a lot of listening and reading, if you, you know,

increase your level of comprehension, if you increase your vocabulary, again, the

vocabulary will be acquired naturally.

Some words are going to appear more often than others, so you'll acquire them

earlier without any particular effort.

You don't have to go and find a list of the most common

a hundred words, 500 words.

They will show up and by dint of showing up more often, probably

you'll acquire them earlier, but uh, some of them may be resistant and

there'll be some order whereby you acquire the, acquire these words.

You know, an example of how difficult it is to acquire something that is usually

taught very early is the third person singular of the present tense in English.

Everyone I think is taught that in English it's, I go, you go, he or she goes, and

then you go, or we go, you go, they go.

So it's only the third person singular in the present tense that has an S.

It's not a difficult concept.

Uh, and, and obviously when you are reading in English, you

don't even need to notice that it's he goes rather than he go.

It wouldn't bother you.

It wouldn't affect your comprehension.

However, when speaking, it's very difficult for people to remember,

you know, on the fly while speaking English that that third person singular

of the present tense has to have an S and, and if they're thinking about

it, they'll probably get it wrong, but when it eventually becomes a

habit, it'll just come out naturally.

And of course, sometimes the third person is hidden because it refers

to a house on the hill that on...

you know, and then when you finally come to the verb, you've forgotten

whether that takes an S or doesn't take an S if you're a non-native speaker.

Whereas if you're a native speaker, somehow or other the, you know,

brain has developed habits so that it will, in most cases hit the S.

And it really doesn't matter if you don't hit the S, the person

will still understand you.

But it's just to illustrate that there are certain habits in the

language that take longer to acquire.

And so for that reason, when I see people say, you know, first master

the basics, and then if I master the basics, then I'll build on that.

And of course, everything that we acquire in the, in the

language is more like jelly.

We can't build on it.

It's kind of this amorphous thing that we...

fuzzy thing that we gradually become more and more familiar with.

A few more things slot in, things become a little clearer and it's not obvious,

uh, which items, which grammatical patterns, which words are gonna sock in

first and which ones will come later.

And it, it's not correction, it's not because, uh, you know, if, if

a child, even an English-speaking child is, is, is used to, okay,

the one pattern that the child will pick up on is "ed" for past tense.

So, uh, you know, uh, I eat, I eated.

Uh, that's a normal thing to say that shows the brain is, is, you know,

thinking in terms of logical patterns.

I eated, and even if the mother doesn't correct the child, Eventually

the child will start to say, I ate, and that'll happen at a certain time.

And it doesn't matter if the child spends six months or a year saying I eat it,

because eventually, I mean, they won't be saying that when they're older, unless

they are surrounded by people who are also saying, I eated, in which case that

will then become an ingrained habit.

But I think it's, it's important to, to uh, sort of, I think, de-emphasize

this idea of basics as if learning a language is like building a house

and you lay the foundation and then you start putting bricks in place, or

you know, wooden frame or whatever, and you build up this structure.

That's not how it is.

It sort of comes at you and you forget it and come back again.

And if you keep on listening and reading and using the language and maybe hearing

the native speaker, what they say, which is maybe a little different from what

you say and slowly but surely you will develop proper habits in the language.

So, uh, you know, the idea that we're gonna nail down the basics

or learn the basics first, I don't think it's realistic.

And I think a lot of people, uh, beat themselves up because they will continue

to make mistakes in some of the most basic things for a long, long time.

I use the word basic, you know, in that understanding we have like,

you know, people continue to not putting an s on the third person

singular of the present tense.

It's basic maybe, but they continue to get it wrong.

And I do the same in languages that I speak I get a lot of basic things wrong.

I continue to get them wrong.

I can still communicate very well.

I understand what people are saying.

I can get my meaning across and I continue to make the most basic mistakes.

And we have to accept that.

And that the only, and, and we can review the rules and stuff and it

may or may not have some effect, but ultimately it's only by continuing to

listen and read and speak and wanting to, you know, wanting to pay attention

to what's happening in the language.

Slowly, slowly, slowly, we improve.

So don't beat yourself up if you can't master the basics,

focus on enjoying the language.

Thank you.

And I'll leave you with a couple of, uh, videos that I've done

on the subject of basics before.

Thanks.

Bye for now.

I do appreciate it. Ich weiß das sehr zu schätzen. Fico-lhe muito grato. takdir ediyorum.

I'm gonna tell you, don't try to study the basics. Ich sage Ihnen, versuchen Sie nicht, die Grundlagen zu lernen. Size söyleyeceğim, temelleri çalışmaya çalışmayın.

Don't try to master the basics. Versuchen Sie nicht, die Grundlagen zu beherrschen. No intentes dominar lo básico. Non cercare di padroneggiare le basi. 基本を極めようとしないこと。 Não tente dominar o básico. Temel konularda uzmanlaşmaya çalışmayın.

Don't even worry about the basics in a language, especially at the beginning. Machen Sie sich keine Gedanken über die Grundlagen in einer Sprache, vor allem nicht am Anfang. No te preocupes por lo básico en un idioma, sobre todo al principio. Non preoccuparti nemmeno delle basi di una lingua, soprattutto all'inizio. 特に最初のうちは、語学の基礎も気にしないでください。 Não se preocupe com o básico de uma língua, especialmente no início. Özellikle başlangıçta, bir dilin temelleri hakkında endişelenmeyin bile.

Why do I say that? Warum sage ich das? なんでそんなこと言うんだろう。 Porque é que eu digo isto? Bunu neden söylüyorum?

A number of reasons. Dafür gibt es eine Reihe von Gründen. Por varias razones. さまざまな理由があります。 Por várias razões. Bir dizi neden.

Uh, first of all, because I have found it impossible to master the Erstens, weil ich es für unmöglich halte, die Uh, en primer lugar, porque me ha resultado imposible dominar el Uh, prima di tutto, perché ho trovato impossibile padroneggiare il ええと、まず、私がマスターすることが不可能であると判断したからです。 Antes de mais, porque achei impossível dominar o Во-первых, потому что я не смог освоить Uh, her şeyden önce, çünkü ustalaşmayı imkansız buldum.

basics of grammar, the basic, uh, vocabulary, the basic anything, uh, die Grundlagen der Grammatik, das Grundvokabular, die Grundlagen von allem, 文法の基本、基本、語彙、基本的なこと、何でも、あー、 o básico da gramática, o básico, uh, vocabulário, o básico de qualquer coisa, uh, dilbilgisinin temelleri, temel, uh, kelime dağarcığı, temel herhangi bir şey, uh,

if I deliberately try to do so, and that's despite looking over explanations wenn ich es absichtlich versuche und das trotz überfliegen von Erklärungen se provo deliberatamente a farlo, e questo nonostante esamini le spiegazioni 意図的にそうしようとすると、説明を見ても、そうなってしまう。 일부러 그렇게 하려고 하면, 그리고 설명을 살펴봤음에도 불구하고 se o tentar fazer deliberadamente, e isto apesar de estar a ver explicações если я сознательно пытаюсь это сделать, и это несмотря на то, что я просматриваю объяснения kasıtlı olarak bunu yapmaya çalışırsam ve bu, açıklamalara bakmama rağmen

and conjugation tables and all this other stuff, it just doesn't work. und Konjugationstabellen und all das andere Zeug, es funktioniert einfach nicht. y tablas de conjugación y todas estas otras cosas, simplemente no funciona. e tabelle di coniugazione e tutte queste altre cose, semplicemente non funziona. とか、活用表とか、そういうのは全部ダメなんです。 활용 테이블과 다른 모든 것들은 작동하지 않습니다. e tabelas de conjugação e todas essas outras coisas, simplesmente não funciona. и таблицы спряжений, и все остальное, это просто не работает. ve konjugasyon tabloları ve diğer tüm şeyler, işe yaramıyor.

The second thing, and I think this might be more interesting, is something called Die zweite Sache, die vielleicht interessanter ist, ist etwas namens La segunda cosa, y creo que esto podría ser más interesante, es algo llamado La seconda cosa, e penso che questo potrebbe essere più interessante, è qualcosa chiamato 2つ目は、こっちの方が面白いかもと思うのですが、以下のようなものです。 İkinci şey, ve bence bu daha ilginç olabilir, adı verilen bir şey.

the Natural Order of Language Acquisition. die natürliche Ordnung des Spracherwerbs. 言語習得の自然の摂理 언어 습득의 자연스러운 질서. Dil Ediniminin Doğal Düzeni.

It's one of Steven Krashen's, sort of, principles of language acquisition, Das ist eines der Prinzipien des Spracherwerbs, die Steven Krashen formuliert hat, È uno dei principi dell'acquisizione del linguaggio di Steven Krashen, これは、スティーブン・クラッシェンの言語習得の原則のようなものです、 이는 스티븐 크라센의 언어 습득 원리 중 하나입니다, Это один из принципов овладения языком, разработанных Стивеном Крашеном, Steven Krashen'in bir nevi dil edinimi ilkelerinden biri,

and it says that there is a natural order, uh, according to which we und da steht, dass es eine natürliche Ordnung gibt, äh, nach der wir e dice che c'è un ordine naturale, uh, secondo il quale noi そして、自然の摂理があると書いてある。 И там говорится, что существует естественный порядок, согласно которому мы ve bize göre doğal bir düzen olduğunu söylüyor

acquire the structures of a language. sich die Strukturen einer Sprache anzueignen. acquisire le strutture di una lingua. 言語の構造を習得する。 овладение структурами языка. bir dilin yapılarını kazanır.

And if you were to, uh, Google the, uh, Theory of Natural Order of Language Und wenn Sie, äh, die, äh, Theorie der natürlichen Sprachordnung googeln würden Y si buscaras en Google la Teoría del Orden Natural del Lenguaje... そして、もしあなたが、「言語の自然な秩序の理論」をググるとしたら。 И если бы вы погуглили "Теорию естественного порядка языка". Ve eğer, ah, Google'da, ah, Theory of Natural Order of Language

Acquisition, you will find all kinds of, uh, material on the subject. Akquisition, finden Sie alle Arten von Material zu diesem Thema. Adquisición, encontrará todo tipo de, material sobre el tema. 取得すると、あらゆる種類の、えーと、資料が見つかります。 Acquisition, вы найдете всевозможные материалы по этой теме. Edinme, konuyla ilgili her türlü materyali bulacaksınız.

It's a bit controversial. Das ist ein bisschen umstritten. È un po' controverso. ちょっと物議を醸していますね。 Это несколько противоречиво. Bu biraz tartışmalı.

You'll find people supporting the idea. Sie werden Menschen finden, die diese Idee unterstützen. Encontrarás gente que apoya la idea. Troverai persone che sostengono l'idea. その考えを支持する人たちを見つけることができます。 Bu fikri destekleyen insanlar bulacaksınız.

You'll see people criticizing the idea. Sie werden sehen, dass es Leute gibt, die diese Idee kritisieren. Verás a gente criticando la idea. 批判している人たちが目につきますね。 İnsanların fikri eleştirdiğini göreceksiniz.

One of the criticism seems to be that obviously if an English speaking person Einer der Kritikpunkte scheint zu sein, dass es sich offensichtlich um eine englischsprachige Person handelt Una delle critiche sembra essere che ovviamente se una persona di lingua inglese 批判のひとつは、明らかに英語圏の人であれば 비판 중 하나는 분명히 영어를 사용하는 사람이 Одно из критических замечаний, по-видимому, заключается в том, что, очевидно, если англоговорящий человек Eleştirilerden biri, açıkça, eğer İngilizce konuşan bir kişi ise

is learning French, then there may be a natural order of acquisition for that Französisch lernt, dann kann es dafür eine natürliche Reihenfolge des Erwerbs geben がフランス語を学ぶのであれば、その習得には自然な順序があるのかもしれません。 프랑스어를 배우고 있다면 자연스럽게 습득하는 순서가 있을 수 있습니다. изучает французский язык, то для этого может существовать естественный порядок приобретения знаний Fransızca öğreniyorsa, o zaman bunun doğal bir edinim sırası olabilir.

English speaking person learning French. Englisch sprechende Person, die Französisch lernt. フランス語を学ぶ英語圏の人。 Fransızca öğrenen İngilizce konuşan kişi.

However, if a Spanish speaking person learns French, then that natural Wenn jedoch eine spanischsprachige Person Französisch lernt, dann ist das selbstverständlich しかし、スペイン語圏の人がフランス語を学べば、その自然な Однако, если человек, говорящий по-испански, изучает французский язык, то естественно Ancak, İspanyolca konuşan bir kişi Fransızca öğrenirse, o zaman bu doğal

order would be different because obviously the Spanish speaking person die Reihenfolge wäre anders, weil die spanischsprachige Person offensichtlich orden sería diferente porque obviamente la persona de habla hispana スペイン語圏の人とは明らかに違うので、順序が違うでしょう。 порядок был бы другим, потому что, очевидно, человек, говорящий по-испански sipariş farklı olurdu çünkü açıkçası İspanyolca konuşan kişi

is influenced by their familiarity with, you know, Latin based languages. wird durch ihre Vertrautheit mit, Sie wissen schon, auf Latein basierenden Sprachen beeinflusst. は、ラテン語をベースにした言語に精通していることが影響していますね。 на это влияет их знакомство с языками, основанными на латыни. Latin kökenli dillere olan aşinalıklarından etkilenir.

So assuming that that's true to me, that doesn't in any way make the theory Angenommen, das stimmt für mich, macht das in keiner Weise die Theorie Así que suponiendo que eso es cierto para mí, que de ninguna manera hace que la teoría それが私にとって真実であると仮定すると、それは決して理論を作りません Так что если предположить, что для меня это так, то это никоим образом не делает теорию

of natural acquisition less valid, it just says that there is a natural des natürlichen Erwerbs weniger gültig, es sagt nur, dass es einen natürlichen gibt 自然獲得の有効性は低く、自然な獲得があると言っているだけです 자연 획득의 유효성이 떨어집니다. естественного приобретения менее обоснованным, он просто говорит, что существует естественный

order of acquisition, which may be different depending on your native Reihenfolge des Erwerbs, die je nach Muttersprache unterschiedlich sein kann ordine di acquisizione, che può essere diverso a seconda del nativo 取得の順序は、あなたの母国語によって異なるかもしれません。 yerel bölgenize bağlı olarak farklı olabilecek edinme sırası

language and depending on the language you're trying to learn, but there is の言語と、学ぼうとしている言語によって異なりますが、あるのは

a natural order, uh, you know, are we gonna learn, you know, uh, if it's eine natürliche Ordnung, äh, wissen Sie, werden wir lernen, wissen Sie, äh, wenn es un orden natural, eh, ya sabes, ¿vamos a aprender, ya sabes, eh, si es 自然の摂理とでもいうのでしょうか、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、そのようなことを学ぶのでしょうか?

English, I go, or I'm going, which one are we gonna start using earlier? Englisch, ich gehe, oder ich gehe, welches von beiden werden wir früher benutzen? 英語、I go、I'm going、どっちを早く使い始めるか? 영어, 내가 갈까요, 아니면 내가 갈까요, 어느 쪽을 먼저 사용할까요? Английский, I go, или I'm going, какой из них мы начнем использовать раньше? Turkish, gidiyorum ya da gidiyorum, hangisini daha önce kullanmaya başlayacağız?

Uh, should the teacher teach you the, I'm the continuous form first or in Spanish Sollte der Lehrer dir zuerst die kontinuierliche Form beibringen oder auf Spanisch? 先生が教えてくれるのは、連用形が先か、それともスペイン語が先か。 Должен ли преподаватель учить вас сначала непрерывной форме или на испанском языке Uh, öğretmen sana öğretmeli mi, önce sürekli formum ya da İspanyolca

... uh, before to, you know, the form ...uh, Is it important for the teacher ...äh, bevor, Sie wissen schon, das Formular ...äh, Ist es wichtig für den Lehrer ... uh, before to, you know, the form ...uh, Is it important for the teacher ...ええと、その前に、その、フォーム...ええと、それは先生にとって重要ですか? ... ah, önce, bilirsiniz, form ... uh, öğretmen için önemli mi

to sort of determine, you know, in chapter one we will teach you this, and um es irgendwie zu bestimmen, wissen Sie, in Kapitel eins werden wir Ihnen dies beibringen, und para determinar, ya sabes, en el capítulo uno te enseñaremos esto, y を決めて、第1章ではこのように教えますよ、と。

in chapter two we will teach you that. In Kapitel zwei werden wir Ihnen das beibringen. 第2章では、そのことを教えてあげます。

And by the 20 chapters of this book, you will have acquired all the basics Und in den 20 Kapiteln dieses Buches werden Sie alle Grundlagen erworben haben そして、本書の20章までに、すべての基本を身につけることができるのです

of the language or uh, and this is, I think, Krashen's view and my view, der Sprache oder äh, und das ist, denke ich, Krashens Ansicht und meine Ansicht, の言語か、えーと、これはクラッシェンの見解であり、私の見解でもあると思う、 языка или э, и это, я думаю, точка зрения Крашена и моя точка зрения,

and that is that you will gradually acquire these different aspects of the und zwar, dass Sie sich nach und nach diese verschiedenen Aspekte der という、このようなさまざまな側面を少しずつ身につけていくということです。

language in an order that is more or less the same for everyone, depending Sprache in einer Reihenfolge, die für alle mehr oder weniger gleich ist, je nach の言語が、誰にとっても多かれ少なかれ同じ順序で使用されます。 언어를 모든 사람에게 거의 동일한 순서로 표시합니다.

on your native language, depending on the language you're learning, auf Ihre Muttersprache, je nach der Sprache, die Sie lernen, を、学習する言語に応じて、母国語に置き換えてください、

depending on some other factors as well. auch von einigen anderen Faktoren abhängen. 他の要因にもよりますが

But there is a natural order and the teacher and the instructions will Aber es gibt eine natürliche Ordnung und der Lehrer und die Anweisungen werden しかし、自然の摂理があり、先生や指示によって

not influence that order so much. diese Reihenfolge nicht so sehr beeinflussen. は、そのオーダーにあまり影響を与えない。 не так сильно влияет на этот порядок.

Uh, so, uh, but if you do a lot of listening and reading, if you, you know, Äh, also, äh, aber wenn du viel zuhörst und liest, wenn du, du weißt schon, ええと、だから、ええと、でも、もし、あなたが、たくさんのリスニングとリーディングをしたら、もし、あなたが、その、

increase your level of comprehension, if you increase your vocabulary, again, the Erhöhen Sie Ihr Verständnis, wenn Sie Ihren Wortschatz wieder erhöhen 理解度を上げれば、語彙を増やせば、また、その分 если вы повысите уровень понимания, если вы увеличите свой словарный запас, опять же, то

vocabulary will be acquired naturally. Der Wortschatz wird auf natürliche Weise erworben. ボキャブラリーは自然に身につきます。 лексика будет приобретаться естественным путем.

Some words are going to appear more often than others, so you'll acquire them Einige Wörter werden häufiger vorkommen als andere, so dass Sie sie sich aneignen werden Algunas palabras van a aparecer más a menudo que otras, así que las adquirirás 一部の単語は他の単語よりも頻繁に表示されるため、それらを習得します Некоторые слова будут встречаться чаще, чем другие, поэтому вы будете приобретать их

earlier without any particular effort. früher ohne besondere Anstrengung. 特に努力することなく、以前から раньше без особых усилий.

You don't have to go and find a list of the most common Sie müssen nicht erst eine Liste mit den gängigsten のリストを探しに行く必要はありません。 Вам не нужно искать список наиболее распространенных

a hundred words, 500 words. hundert Wörter, 500 Wörter. cien palabras, 500 palabras. сто слов, 500 слов.

They will show up and by dint of showing up more often, probably Sie werden auftauchen und dadurch, dass sie öfter auftauchen, wahrscheinlich Aparecerán y, a fuerza de aparecer más a menudo, probablemente 彼らは現れるだろうし、より頻繁に現れることによって、たぶん 그들은 더 자주 나타날 것이고 아마도 더 자주 나타날 것입니다. Ze zullen komen opdagen en waarschijnlijk vaker komen opdagen Они будут появляться и, возможно, благодаря тому, что будут появляться чаще.

you'll acquire them earlier, but uh, some of them may be resistant and werden Sie sie früher erwerben, aber einige von ihnen können resistent sein und しかし、中には抵抗力のあるものもあります。 вы приобретете их раньше, но некоторые из них могут быть устойчивыми и

there'll be some order whereby you acquire the, acquire these words. Es wird eine Reihenfolge geben, in der du diese Wörter erwirbst, erwirbst. habrá algún orden por el cual adquieras las, adquieras estas palabras. この言葉を身につけるには、何らかの順序があるはずです。 이 단어를 습득하는 순서가 있을 것입니다. будет определенный порядок, при котором вы приобретете, приобретете эти слова.

You know, an example of how difficult it is to acquire something that is usually Wissen Sie, ein Beispiel dafür, wie schwierig es ist, etwas zu erwerben, das normalerweise 通常では入手困難なものを手に入れることができる、という例で

taught very early is the third person singular of the present tense in English. taught very early ist im Englischen die dritte Person Singular des Präsens. taught very early は、英語の現在形の三人称単数です。 는 영어의 현재 시제 3인칭 단수입니다. Учили очень рано - это третье лицо единственного числа настоящего времени в английском языке.

Everyone I think is taught that in English it's, I go, you go, he or she goes, and Ich glaube, jedem wird beigebracht, dass es im Englischen heißt: I go, you go, he or she goes, and 英語では、I go, you go, he or she goes, と誰もが教えられると思います。 Всех, я думаю, учат, что в английском языке это: I go, you go, he or she go, and

then you go, or we go, you go, they go. dann gehst du, oder wir gehen, du gehst, sie gehen.

So it's only the third person singular in the present tense that has an S. Es ist also nur die dritte Person Singular im Präsens, die ein S hat. つまり、Sがつくのは現在形の三人称単数だけなんですね。

It's not a difficult concept. Das ist kein schwieriges Konzept. 難しい概念ではありません。 Это не сложная концепция.

Uh, and, and obviously when you are reading in English, you Und wenn Sie auf Englisch lesen, müssen Sie natürlich 英語で読んでいるときは、当然ながら

don't even need to notice that it's he goes rather than he go. brauchen nicht einmal zu bemerken, dass es "er geht" und nicht "er geht" heißt. ni siquiera necesitan darse cuenta de que es él va en lugar de él va. は、「彼が行く」ではなく「彼が行く」であることに気づく必要すらありません。 가 아니라 그가 간다는 사실을 알아차릴 필요도 없습니다. даже не нужно замечать, что это он идет, а не он едет.

It wouldn't bother you. Es würde Sie nicht stören. 悩むこともないだろう。 Вас это не беспокоит.

It wouldn't affect your comprehension. Es würde Ihr Verständnis nicht beeinträchtigen. No afectaría a su comprensión. 理解力に影響はないでしょう。 Это не повлияет на понимание.

However, when speaking, it's very difficult for people to remember, Beim Sprechen ist es jedoch sehr schwierig, sich daran zu erinnern, However, when speaking, it's very difficult for people to remember, しかし、話すときは、人が覚えるのはとても難しい、

you know, on the fly while speaking English that that third person singular Sie wissen schon, dass die dritte Person Singular beim Sprechen der englischen Sprache 英語を話しながら、その場で、その三人称単数を 영어로 말하면서 즉석에서 3인칭 단수인 weet je, terwijl je Engels spreekt, die derde persoon enkelvoud

of the present tense has to have an S and, and if they're thinking about des Präsens muss ein S und haben, und wenn sie an を考えているのであれば、現在形のS andが必要です。

it, they'll probably get it wrong, but when it eventually becomes a werden sie sich wahrscheinlich irren, aber wenn es schließlich zu einem ということになるのでしょう。

habit, it'll just come out naturally. Gewohnheit, es wird sich einfach von selbst ergeben. の習慣があれば、自然と出てくるものです。 привычка, то все получится само собой.

And of course, sometimes the third person is hidden because it refers Und natürlich wird manchmal die dritte Person versteckt, weil sie sich auf Y, por supuesto, a veces se oculta la tercera persona porque se refiere もちろん、三人称が隠れていることもありますが、それはそれを指しているからです。 И, конечно, иногда третье лицо скрыто, потому что оно относится к

to a house on the hill that on... zu einem Haus auf dem Hügel, das auf... を丘の上の家へ...。 к дому на холме, который на...

you know, and then when you finally come to the verb, you've forgotten und wenn man dann endlich zu dem Verb kommt, hat man es vergessen. ya sabes, y luego cuando finalmente llegas al verbo, has olvidado で、いざ動詞になると、もう忘れている。 а потом, когда вы, наконец, подходите к глаголу, вы уже забыли.

whether that takes an S or doesn't take an S if you're a non-native speaker. ob man dafür ein S braucht oder nicht, wenn man kein Muttersprachler ist. 非ネイティブスピーカーであれば、Sを取るか取らないか。 ли в этом случае S или не S, если вы не являетесь носителем языка.

Whereas if you're a native speaker, somehow or other the, you know, Wenn man hingegen Muttersprachler ist, wird das irgendwie, Sie wissen schon, 一方、ネイティブスピーカーなら、どうにかこうにか、その、、 В то время как если вы носитель языка, то так или иначе, вы знаете,

brain has developed habits so that it will, in most cases hit the S. Das Gehirn hat Gewohnheiten entwickelt, so dass es in den meisten Fällen das S trifft. 脳は、ほとんどの場合、Sを打つように習慣を身につけています。

And it really doesn't matter if you don't hit the S, the person Und es macht wirklich nichts, wenn du das S nicht triffst, die Person そして、Sを打たないと本当に意味がない、その人

will still understand you. wird Sie trotzdem verstehen. は、それでもあなたを理解してくれるでしょう。

But it's just to illustrate that there are certain habits in the Aber es soll nur verdeutlichen, dass es bestimmte Gewohnheiten in der Pero es sólo para ilustrar que hay ciertos hábitos en la には、ある種の癖があることを説明するためなのですが。

language that take longer to acquire. Sprache, deren Erwerb länger dauert. 習得に時間がかかる言語

And so for that reason, when I see people say, you know, first master Wenn ich also Leute sehe, die sagen: "Erster Meister そのため、「ファーストマスター」という言葉を目にすることがあります。

the basics, and then if I master the basics, then I'll build on that. und wenn ich die Grundlagen beherrsche, kann ich darauf aufbauen. 基本を身につけたら、それをベースにする。

And of course, everything that we acquire in the, in the Und natürlich ist alles, was wir in der, in der そして、もちろん、私たちが取得したものは、すべて、その中にあります。

language is more like jelly. Die Sprache ist eher wie Gelee. la lingua è più simile alla gelatina. は、ゼリーに近い言語です。

We can't build on it. Darauf können wir nicht aufbauen. Non possiamo costruirci sopra. 積み重ねができないんです。

It's kind of this amorphous thing that we... Es ist eine Art amorphe Sache, die wir... 私たちは、この無定形なものを...

fuzzy thing that we gradually become more and more familiar with. eine unscharfe Sache, mit der wir nach und nach immer mehr vertraut werden. だんだん身近になってくるファジーなもの。

A few more things slot in, things become a little clearer and it's not obvious, Ein paar mehr Dinge fügen sich ein, die Dinge werden ein wenig klarer und es ist nicht offensichtlich, Algunas cosas más encajan, las cosas se vuelven un poco más claras y no es obvio, もう少しいろいろなことがスロットインして、物事が少しずつ明確になっていき、それが当たり前ではなくなる、

uh, which items, which grammatical patterns, which words are gonna sock in welche Begriffe, welche grammatikalischen Muster, welche Wörter werden in qué elementos, qué patrones gramaticales, qué palabras van a calcetar どの項目で、どの文法パターンで、どの単語を使うか。

first and which ones will come later. zuerst und welche später kommen werden. を先に、どれを後にするのか。

And it, it's not correction, it's not because, uh, you know, if, if Und es ist keine Korrektur, es ist nicht, weil, äh, Sie wissen schon, wenn, wenn そして、それは、訂正ではなく、その、もし、もし、もし、もし

a child, even an English-speaking child is, is, is used to, okay, ein Kind, selbst ein englischsprachiges Kind, ist, ist, ist daran gewöhnt, okay, un niño, incluso un niño angloparlante está, está, está acostumbrado a, vale, a child, even a English-speaking child is, is, is used to, okay、

the one pattern that the child will pick up on is "ed" for past tense. Das einzige Muster, das das Kind übernehmen wird, ist "ed" für die Vergangenheitsform. el único patrón que el niño captará es "ed" para el tiempo pasado. ed "は過去形の "ed "であり、子供が覚えてしまうパターンです。

So, uh, you know, uh, I eat, I eated. Also, äh, weißt du, äh, ich esse, ich habe gegessen.

Uh, that's a normal thing to say that shows the brain is, is, you know, Das ist eine normale Sache, die zeigt, dass das Gehirn... Sie wissen schon, ええと、それは、脳が、その、あることを示す、普通のことなんです、

thinking in terms of logical patterns. Denken in logischen Mustern. 論理的なパターンで考える

I eated, and even if the mother doesn't correct the child, Eventually Ich habe gegessen, und selbst wenn die Mutter das Kind nicht korrigiert, kann es sein, dass 食べたのですが、母親が子供を矯正しなくても、最終的には

the child will start to say, I ate, and that'll happen at a certain time. wird das Kind anfangen zu sagen, ich habe gegessen, und das wird zu einer bestimmten Zeit geschehen. el niño empezará a decir, comí, y eso ocurrirá a cierta hora. 子供は「食べた」と言い始めます。

And it doesn't matter if the child spends six months or a year saying I eat it, Und es spielt keine Rolle, ob das Kind sechs Monate oder ein Jahr lang sagt: "Ich esse das, Y no importa si el niño se pasa seis meses o un año diciendo me lo como, そして、その子が半年かけても、1年かけても、私は食べるよと言うのは関係ない、

because eventually, I mean, they won't be saying that when they're older, unless denn irgendwann werden sie das nicht mehr sagen, wenn sie älter sind, es sei denn porque con el tiempo, quiero decir, no van a decir que cuando son mayores, a menos que というのも、いずれは、つまり、彼らが大人になったら、そんなことは言わなくなるのですから。

they are surrounded by people who are also saying, I eated, in which case that sie von Menschen umgeben sind, die ebenfalls sagen: "Ich habe gegessen", dann ist das と言っている人たちに囲まれている。

will then become an ingrained habit. wird dann zu einer festen Gewohnheit. は、その後、習慣として定着していきます。

But I think it's, it's important to, to uh, sort of, I think, de-emphasize Aber ich denke, dass es wichtig ist, die Bedeutung des Themas zu vermindern. しかし、私は、重要なのは、そのようなことを強調しないことだと思います。

this idea of basics as if learning a language is like building a house diese Vorstellung von Grundlagen, als ob das Erlernen einer Sprache wie der Bau eines Hauses wäre かしらもじのかんがえ

and you lay the foundation and then you start putting bricks in place, or Sie legen das Fundament und fangen dann an, Ziegelsteine zu setzen, oder で、土台を敷いてからレンガを並べ始める、あるいは

you know, wooden frame or whatever, and you build up this structure. Sie wissen schon, Holzrahmen oder was auch immer, und Sie bauen diese Struktur auf. 木枠でも何でもいいから、この構造を作り上げるんだ。

That's not how it is. Das ist nicht der Fall. そんなことはないんです。

It sort of comes at you and you forget it and come back again. Es kommt irgendwie auf einen zu und man vergisst es und kommt wieder zurück. 忘れてもまた戻ってくるという感じです。

And if you keep on listening and reading and using the language and maybe hearing Und wenn Sie weiter zuhören und lesen und die Sprache benutzen und vielleicht hören そして、もしあなたが聞き続け、読み続け、言葉を使い続け、そしてもしかしたら聞くかもしれない

the native speaker, what they say, which is maybe a little different from what der Muttersprachler, was sie sagen, was sich vielleicht ein wenig von dem unterscheidet, was ネイティブスピーカーが言うことは、もしかしたら少し違うかもしれません。

you say and slowly but surely you will develop proper habits in the language. und langsam aber sicher werden Sie richtige Gewohnheiten in der Sprache entwickeln. というように、少しずつ、しかし確実に言葉の習慣を身に付けていくことができます。

So, uh, you know, the idea that we're gonna nail down the basics Also, die Idee, dass wir die Grundlagen festnageln. だから、その、基本に忠実であろうとする考え方は

or learn the basics first, I don't think it's realistic. とか、まず基本を学ぶとか、現実的ではないと思います。

And I think a lot of people, uh, beat themselves up because they will continue Und ich glaube, viele Menschen machen sich Vorwürfe, weil sie weiterhin そして、多くの人が、自分自身を責めてしまうのは、これからも続くからだと思います。

to make mistakes in some of the most basic things for a long, long time. 非常に長い間、最も基本的なことのいくつかで間違いを犯すこと。

I use the word basic, you know, in that understanding we have like, Ich verwende das Wort "grundlegend" in dem Sinne, wie wir es verstanden haben, 私はベーシックという言葉を、私たちが持っているような理解の中で使っているんです、

you know, people continue to not putting an s on the third person Wissen Sie, die Leute setzen weiterhin kein s an die dritte Person 三人称にsをつけないのは相変わらずですな

singular of the present tense. Singular des Präsens. 現在形の単数形。

It's basic maybe, but they continue to get it wrong. Es ist vielleicht einfach, aber sie machen es immer wieder falsch. 基本的なことかもしれませんが、彼らはそれを間違え続けているのです。

And I do the same in languages that I speak I get a lot of basic things wrong. Das gilt auch für die Sprachen, die ich spreche, und ich mache viele grundlegende Dinge falsch. また、自分が話す言語でも同じで、基本的なことをたくさん間違えてしまうんです。

I continue to get them wrong. Ich habe sie immer wieder falsch verstanden. 私はそれらを間違え続けている。

I can still communicate very well. Ich kann mich immer noch sehr gut verständigen. 今でもコミュニケーションはしっかりとれますよ。

I understand what people are saying. Ich verstehe, was die Leute sagen. 人の言うことはよくわかる。

I can get my meaning across and I continue to make the most basic mistakes. Ich kann meine Bedeutung vermitteln und mache weiterhin die grundlegendsten Fehler. 自分の言いたいことは伝わるのに、一番基本的なミスを続けてしまう。 Я могу донести свой смысл, но продолжаю делать элементарные ошибки.

And we have to accept that. Und das müssen wir akzeptieren. そして、それを受け入れなければならない。 И мы должны это принять.

And that the only, and, and we can review the rules and stuff and it Und das ist die einzige, und, und wir können die Regeln und so weiter überprüfen und es そして、その唯一の、そして、私たちは、ルールやものを見直すことができます。 И это единственное, и, и мы можем пересмотреть правила и прочее, и это

may or may not have some effect, but ultimately it's only by continuing to eine gewisse Wirkung haben kann, aber letztlich nur dann, wenn sie weiterhin を続けることでしか、効果は得られないと思います。

listen and read and speak and wanting to, you know, wanting to pay attention zuhören und lesen und sprechen und, du weißt schon, aufmerksam sein wollen 聞く、読む、話す、そして、その、注意を払うことを望んでいる。

to what's happening in the language. auf das, was in der Sprache geschieht. を、言語で何が起こっているのかに

Slowly, slowly, slowly, we improve. Langsam, langsam, langsam werden wir besser. ゆっくり、ゆっくり、ゆっくり、改善していきます。

So don't beat yourself up if you can't master the basics, Machen Sie sich also nicht verrückt, wenn Sie die Grundlagen nicht beherrschen, だから、基本をマスターできなくても自分を責める必要はない、 Поэтому не стоит корить себя за то, что не можете освоить азы,

focus on enjoying the language. sich auf die Freude an der Sprache konzentrieren. 言葉を楽しむことに重点を置く。

Thank you.

And I'll leave you with a couple of, uh, videos that I've done Und ich lasse Sie mit ein paar Videos zurück, die ich gemacht habe そして、私が行ったいくつかの、えー、ビデオを紹介します。

on the subject of basics before. über das Thema der Grundlagen. 以前、ベーシックをテーマにした

Thanks.

Bye for now.
