How I am learning The Russian Language (LingQ Overview)
VCM privyet the brothel Amanda my canal
me as aboot Jordan is savonia ya Yan is
now you cut get this Quezada
what's going on everybody welcome to the
channel my name is Jordan today I'm
actually gonna be going over one of the
apps that I have grown to enjoy and
found it has added tremendous value in
my journey of learning the Russian
language it is called link this video is
not an advertisement nor am i affiliated
with this company at all I just wanted
to share with you guys a big part of how
I'm going about learning the Russian
language now I do have a link for a link
in the description down below if you
guys want to check it out there is a
14-day trial I believe don't quote me on
it but I think there's a 14-day trial so
to me that's enough time to determine if
it's gonna add enough value to you
equivalent to the dollars you would be
spending on the app and I also want to
add to you guys that this app is not
only specifically for the Russian
language there's a multitude of language
that it has loaded onto the app like
Spanish French Ukrainian English there's
a ton of different languages that have
great quality sources and contents and
topics all relatable so it's not just
for the Russian language and I wanted to
add that as well there's actually a lot
more depth to the app itself but let's
just jump into the app and review it and
I'll show you guys the way that I like
to work it ok guys so as you can see i
just opened to the front page here and
we'll get started i'm just gonna run
through this really quick i'm not gonna
go through absolutely everything but
just give you an overview of what i like
to do and how i like to work this
application so up at the top here you
can see this is the amount of words that
you know I do not know nine hundred and
thirty seven words that are some names
and things like that in there so this is
your word counter and in here is where
you can choose what language you want to
learn and like I said there's a handful
like a ton ton ton ton of different
languages that you can choose from Greek
polish Ukrainian English so like I said
you can actually learn to three multiple
languages at the same time if that's
what you're into I
can't do that I'm gonna stick with just
Russian for now guys so yeah here at the
top you have your lessons which I'll get
back to this is kind of the main nuts
and bolts of the application so I'm
gonna jump over to tutors though because
this is pretty cool so here you guys you
can actually hire a tutor and slot them
in say so this guy he's 18 and our slot
him in a time when he's available when
you're available and sit down and go
over whatever you guys want to go over
so this is a really cool addition to the
application is that you can actually
hire a personal tutor if you're having
some serious trouble with something then
you can obviously talk to a native
speaker so that's really cool part of it
I'm gonna jump over to community cuz
this part I feel gets overlooked but it
plays such a big role in this
application of course I'm going over the
desktop application you can get this for
your iPhone and etc so this is the
forums so you can talk about anything
that you want to talk about how find out
how other people are learning languages
quickly and pretty much this is just a
whole forum of everyone helping each
other reach their goals so this is
really cool and it's really active too
so it's not just you post something no
one responds as you can see there's
always a comment for everything so there
is activity on this forum right here
writing exchange this is a cool part of
the application so you can write in
whatever target language that you are
going for write whatever you feel like
writing and as you see here somebody
wrote Russian so let's just check this
out
so somebody wrote rush-rush in here and
basically you're just practicing your
writing so as you can see he got a reply
and people native speakers will correct
your errors so that's really cool and
this part gets overlooked but this is
such a major help to anyone who's
actually serious about learning the
language I find because you can just
practice your writing and get corrected
and fix all of your mistakes you can
write in any language that you're going
for just submit your writing and write
whatever you want to write and then
somebody will correct it so that's
really cool but I'm gonna jump back to
what this app is really all about and
how I really utilize this
application so we come over to the
lessons now this is how it works you
basically search up whatever you want to
search and guys there is unlimited
sources that you can derive from in this
place but you got to find something that
you're interested in like I got to find
something that really interests as me or
excites me so I have the mental capacity
to sit there and learn as you can see
books podcasts news business
entertainment sports technology there's
all sorts of different topics so you
just got to find something whatever
interests you but for this purpose here
this tutorial purpose I'm just gonna go
with a short story man I can never spell
story right but so here you can filter
it beginner I have it set the beginner
intermediate ooh you can go to advanced
too if you're feeling confident in
yourself but I'm not that confident
myself right now
so here you got a bunch of short stories
and within these there's all sorts of
there's 13 lessons as you can tell in
this one there's five lessons one lesson
two lessons so you just gotta find
whatever is interesting and exciting to
you so I'm just gonna jump into here
really quick this is one I really enjoy
I like there the link mini stories it's
really helpful for beginning and
starting out in the language so I'm
gonna go to a different one one that I
haven't even opened before so I'll go to
this one okay so what I like to do so
basically this app guys you click Play
and basically whoever created this
content is gonna read to you in their
native tongue and you just follow along
and all these blue words blue
highlighted words indicate words that
you haven't seen before throughout the
application all the yellow words
indicate words that you have seen but
you mark them as you don't know what
these words are so every time you click
a word it brings up a dictionary and it
won't play right now because I'm
recording my screen so but you can play
it and you can just repeat the speaker
try to pronounce it exactly how he
pronounces it so say if I click this
word
there's your dictionary and you can
choose whatever you want this word to
mean to you so if
click home now as you can see the word
turned yellow but I do know that words
so I don't want it to be yellow so what
I would do is I play through this lesson
it will play he'll read read read and
you follow along and once you get to the
end I go back and then I reread it just
by myself going through it by myself and
any word that I don't know I will mark
it as I don't know and any word that I
dunno I'll mark it as I dunno and I'll
read through the whole story basically
translating everything and then I will
go right to the very beginning and then
I will play it one more time through and
this time I will have an understanding
of everything that he's saying and this
is how I acquire the language through
comprehensible input just like that and
this app has been so helpful I can read
so much faster and a big part of it is I
can understand the whole language as a
whole better I might not be able this
app might not be helpful for me speaking
or having conversation but it definitely
helps with my understanding just because
I can't bring a word up doesn't mean
that I don't know what that word is if I
hear it in a conversation later down the
road after I've read it inside here I
will have an understanding of what that
word is and I will know what you guys
are talking about so don't talk about me
behind my back I'm coming for you ok so
quickly I'm going to actually jump into
this so here's what here's where your
lessons are I forgot to mention this
stuff but here's where all your lessons
are so any lesson you chose is all in
your lessons then you can go to your
vocabulary and all your vocabulary is
here words that you barked as you don't
know words that you used to know or used
to not know now you know them they're
all in here so it's like your little own
personal mini dictionary you can save
phrases and review these at any time
that you like and one last cool thing
that I really like about this is the
playlists so you can add anything to
your playlist and this is where I really
use my phone application so when I'm
driving when I'm walking when I'm
running whenever I'm doing something
that I can't look at my phone or read
along you can at least play it
listen to the story being told you don't
necessarily have to read it and follow
along so this is a really cool addition
as well but yeah let's jump back to my
library but yeah guys that's pretty much
the overview recap of this application
there's so much more to this app but I
thought I would just give you a quick
little guide I don't want to make this
video an hour-long so I hope you guys
enjoyed that and hopefully it shed some
light and added some value to anybody
out there who is trying to learn a
different language and sharing how I am
going about or a major part of how I'm
going about learning the Russian
language so there you have it guys I
hope you enjoyed this video like I said
if you guys want to take a look at it I
have a link down below in the
description so you can check it out
there and like I said I think there is a
free trial for sure so that can give you
enough time to determine if you do want
to spend the money on it because for me
spending money on something just adds
more value behind it and it makes me
utilize it more whereas if it was a free
app or something like that I feel like I
want to be as obligated to sign-in and
therefore not learn really as much so
there you go guys I would love to hear
from you let me know if you are learning
a different language and what techniques
and what kind of sources you guys use to
learn these different languages because
I'm open to exploring everything I want
to learn as fast as possible just like
you I'm sure so let me know what's going
on with that so make sure you guys
comment down below subscribe like and I
will see you on the next one paka paka
