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 [Music]
