"Pure & passion for the language learning process" with Lindsay Williams - Irina Pravet
Show Notes:
Lindsay's website: www.lindsaydoeslanguages.com
An intro to Finnish cases, Lindsay & Irina: www.lindsaydoeslanguages.com/introduction-to-finnish-cases-irina-pravet/
Language Stories - Documentaries: ua-cam.com/play/PLByFxX2gaCXZAUPfr1ooB9tsQUxxShETa.html
I've come to find that the best way to keep the process of learning rolling is to touch base with other learners, who share a passion for the process.
So I reached out to Lindsay in the hopes that an interview could capture the positive energy, insatiable curiosity and growth mindset I've come to know her for...And did it ever!
Lindsay's openness to so many languages makes her a great person to speak up on behalf of the value that languages have to offer at any stage of the journey IMO.
Grab your headphones, head for a walk and join Lindsay and me!

    Gonna answer you here in English. Understand Finnish but have a hard time writing in it. I relate to this. I'm Swedish and have been in Brazil for some time. I've hated when people have asked me how long I have been here, because I know they are then judging my answer to how good my Portuguse is. And I always feel like explaining why my level is the way it is. But people are generally not so interested in that, but rather then just put you in some box. And yes, I agree, langauge learning is very complex, it's a whole process of how integrated you are, where you're focus is, and there are so many different ways to learn it than going through some grammar book or taking a class

    Moi Irina! Kiitos sun videosta :) Tätä samaa olen huomannut tapahtuvan myös Alankomaissa, kun puhun hollantia. Juuri tuo vertailu ja "tuomitseminen" saattavat jarruttaa oppimista, sillä jokainen oppii omaan tahtiin eikä sitä tarvitse lokeroida hyvään tai huonoon. Itse olen oppinut kuuntelemalla ja yrittämällä. En käynyt kursseilla juuri sen takia, että koen kirjaoppimisen aika tylsäksi. Ja kun kuuntelen ja elän tässä kieliympäristössä, kieli muotoutuu mehukkaaksi ja omaan suuhun sopivaksi. Tykkään oppia pikkuhiljaa ja "tarpeen mukaan". Musta oli tosi kiva kuunnella sinua puhumassa suomea. Olisiko sulla jotain vinkkiä mun hollantilaiselle puolisolle, että miten suomenkielen oppiminen voisi olla hauskaa tai helpommin lähestyttävää? Terkuin, Emma

    Very interesting take on these. I like your descriptions and think they're very well thought out and described, except for a teeny tiny disagreement with the inhaled "joo" and "nii". I'm not sure if it's a regional thing, or even smaller "my group of friends act this way"-thing, but I've come to associate this inhaled version of "joo" and "nii" to a sense of impatience. Like I agree with you, but please get to the point or oh my god I know this already and agree, tell me something I don't know. So inhaled versions of this are less positive in connotation, where the exhaled versions are positive and reinforcing. Also quite funny that the YT algorithm decided to present this to me three years after it was put up. I wonder why. Regardless, interesting content!

    I have no words to say how much I thank you. I've been learning Finnish for 10 years with my ups and downs, but for the last couple of years it's been one really deep hole... You illustrated this perfectly with that "crossing the river", I've been feeling this way for so long and I have no idea what to do. I dream about speaking Finnish fluently, but it's just like a giant failure... It's so heart-warming to know it's not only me struggling. I'm gonna try and try, and try till it finally clicks. Thank you so much, greetings from Poland ❤

    Every languages are useful. If you feel the need and want to learn a specific language, go for it, you'll benefit from it and thanks for the internet, you'll easily find people to talk to in the language you want to learn, and find a good "use" to the language :)

  • @LukeBland

    Nice to see your face again, Irina! I understand where you're going with this and maybe you're onto something. What if we could learn enough to start using the language in everyday life? Then as we use it, wouldn't it pretty much go forward on it's own? Great conversation starter!

    • @IrinaPravet
      @IrinaPravet 4 роки тому

      Hey Luke, nice to see your face and comment here :D Absolutely, learning just enough to use in everyday life would mean we're growing while doing whatever we're doing (assuming we are doing things)! Going a step back still, what if we started by acknowledging (maybe even taking inventory of) what we already know right now? This way we're not constantly focusing on some future time "when we can use the language in this way" but rooted into "what I can say/do/etc. right now," and allowing that to take us forward too. Trusting that we never start at zero - and on the days it seems that way, the invitation is to look even closer still ;)

  • @blooksyaha1531
    @blooksyaha1531 4 роки тому

    Having a goal of where you want to get is good in that it gets you to hold a standard for yourself that you can apply in your general study, however expectations in relation to that goal pr even just spending too much time doting on the idolisation of it, I think, is inherently unhealthy simply because your engaging with what becomes a superficial infatuation of who or what you want to be, made superficial by the fact you are no longer enjoying or developing the journey you are embarking on but rather spending time with your head on the clouds.

    • @IrinaPravet
      @IrinaPravet 4 роки тому

      Well said Blooks! Neither a goal nor expectations are inherently bad, but an awereness of how they're affecting our enjoyement and process are important measure too - I love it! It makes me wonder: How can we flow with the process instead of becoming regid?

    • @blooksyaha1531
      @blooksyaha1531 4 роки тому

      @@IrinaPravet thank you:) it is an interesting train of thought you have brought up, I think recognition of what it actually is to achieve a goal -what you're excercising in your effort to achieve it, for example if you have the goal of learning 500 Finnish words your plan it to learn 10 a day, you are exercising and acclimitising yourself to self-discipline, a skill that will impact your sense of self as a person once you've followed through. There is likely of course other surprise gains to your being in committing yourself to a process or new habit, its interesting to think of the network of neurons we are and how we can see that when we percieve the personal interconectivity that resides in each of us with our own perceptions of life, being able to recognise and take joy in things as they come I believe is how refresh your interest and keep thoughts/engagement from stagnating.

Подскажите, пожалуйста, есть вопрос, на который никто лучше Вас не ответит: Изучаю финский язык почти 7 месяцев (хожу на курсы в СПб, занимаюсь в среднем 1,5 часа в день, без учёта курсовых занятий, суомен местари 1 прошёл, суомен местари 2 - в процессе), владею английским С1...... так вот, насколько эффективно и правильно было бы изучать финский, с использованием английского (или на английском) далее, когда освоен материал суомен местари (ч.1 и ч.2) и есть базовое понимание, скажем так, "базовой структуры финского kirja-kieli"........ Поделитесь, пожалуйста, опытом..........заранее спасибо.

Henkilokohtaisesti olen taysin samaa mielta kanssasi aiheesta. Englantia opin katsomalla televisiota ja vertailemalla puhuttua englantia seka kaannettya tekstia. Lukiossa englanninkielentaitoni oli parempi kuin opettajien vaikken ollut koskaan "opiskellut" sita. Kaiken kukkuraksi aidinkieleni on Ruotsi. Kielioppi on minulle yhta vieras kaikilla kielilla. :)

    Hi! I’ve been learning Finnish for about 4 years now and it felt like the easiest journey of learning a language. I’ve been also learning French in school for about 8 years and I’m still unable to speak fluently without having to think of what I want to say. So I have learned much more Finnish in 4 years than French in 8 years. My explanation for that is: I was ”forced” to learn French without really being interested. And my interest for the Finnish language was very big. For sure I had some struggles (and I still have) but I always saw a progression which gave me the motivation to learn more. Instead looking at the grammar and being lost, I saw it more as a discovery, which was very interesting. Now I still struggle with some parts of the grammar, but those aren’t as important because I am still understood. The most important is that you can speak freely without translating in your brain. And of course being able to interact with other people. I really like your videos, continue with that! Greetings from Switzerland!
