I have created a Youtube channel, where I will be discussing both how to increase your fluency in Czech, and my language learning approach in general. Today I put the first few videos on there, and hopefully I will keep up the enthusiasm to keep doing so.

Even though it is very much slanted towards learning Czech, I think there are ideas in there that should be relevant no matter what language you are learning. At the very least, you will get to see what I look like and how I sound :-)

Thanks for posting your videos, Splog! I would like to listen to you speaking Czech, because I have never heard the language spoken. Russian and Polish, yes, but never Czech.

It will come! In each video I will likely be introducing more and more Czech, and slowly, less and less English. I am hoping that the videos will lead naturally from very basic concepts all the way up to a flowing conversation. Ideally, it won't just sound like a monologue of foreign babble but, rather, people who followed the earlier videos will have at least some idea of what I am saying.

I have added four new videos to my channel, teaching people how to improve their ability to listen to a language so that it doesn't sound like babble. It is all based on ideas I learned from great people on this forum:

1 : The Problem - it all sounds like babble

2: Intensive Listening - learning how to hear the words

3: Shadowing - Copying what you hear

4: Extensive Listening - the Listening-Reading method

I hope I have done these approaches justice. At the very least I have been honest about how I have used the methods, and I apologise wholeheartedly if I have misrepresented them or misquoted anybody.

I enjoyed watching your videos as the ideas apply to any language. Well done.

I added a new video today describing a technique I use for remembering new things as I learn them.

It is a technique I call "Remembering Living Stories" and the idea is that you continually evolve a set of stories that you find compelling, so that they grow with your experience. As your fluency increases, the stories become richer.

I have been using this technique for about three years now, and at least in my experience the stories have provided a rich and helpful context for remembering and recalling new things.

Here is the video
