Learn the Words That Matter to You

My Blog: http://blog.thelinguist.com/ My Facebook Page:   / lingosteve   My Twitter:   / lingosteve   Visit https://www.LingQ.com We learn words because we need them not because they are on some frequency list. My dates in Europe: Dec 11-15 Lyon Dec 16-19 Wales Dec 19-22 Bath Dec 22-Jan 3 London Jan 3- Jan 7 Paris Anyone interested in a meetup? Any ideas on where and when? Transcript: Hi there, Steve Kaufmann here. You can see that I’m back in Vancouver. You can hear my wife practicing her piano in the background. We came back from Palm Springs yesterday and, of course, it’s raining today in Vancouver. I just put up the final video in Polish for my 90-Day Challenge. I will continue to read and listen to Polish, but the 90-day period of intensive study is over. It was a wonderful experience. I learned so much about Poland I now feel that I understand the language. I can understand podcasts so much better, I can read the newspaper. I don’t know what my next challenge will be. I’ve got so many languages that I would like to improve in, yet the challenge of taking on something like Arabic or Turkish really sort of catches my fancy. We’ll see what happens. You’ll notice in my video in Polish that I struggle with some words like for meat, pork and beef because these are words that have not come up in my listening and reading. You can only learn the words that are relevant to whatever your needs are, so if I were visiting and going to restaurants or buying food in Poland I would learn the words for food. Some people think that some words are naturally more important or higher in the pecking order than others and you should learn those first, but I think it all depends on what you are interested in. You need the words for the subject matter that you are listening to and reading, so your interest will dictate which words you learn rather than some arbitrary list, in my view. Again, my language learning is driven by my interests. One further thing I would like to mention is that my wife and I are going to be traveling to Europe, we’re going to visit my son and his family who live in London. We are going to fly to Paris, we’re taking the train to Lyon and we’re going to spend three days in Lyon from the 11th. So we’re leaving here the 10th, we arrive in Paris on the 11th. The 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th we are in Lyon. On the 15th we fly to Bristol and then we’re going to spend three days in Wales and three days in Bath. We’re going to visit and get to know parts of England. Then from about the 22nd on we’re in London until about the 2nd of January. Then we’re going to spend about four days in Paris from the 3rd to the 7th, including a side trip to 02:41.2 where we have some very good friends. So if there is any interest in a meetup either in Lyon or somewhere in Wales, Bath, Bristol and then in London and then in Paris, please let me know. I will put the dates here in the description. You should get the transcript for this video within a day or two, but I’m putting it up right behind my Polish video just to explain that the conversation I had with 03:24.4 was initially about food and I definitely struggled to express myself about what Canadians like to eat. Thanks for listening and I look forward, hopefully, to meeting some of you during my trip to Europe. Bye for now.
