Man that book looks like a mess! Saying that "hinnih" is "less commonly used" is news to me, seeing as it's the only option given - for masculine and feminine - in all the Lebanese grammars I have. So does the author mean that the Lebanese dialect is in the minority (true though that is) or that in some parts of the Levant that word is rare... I mean how would you know? I think the book might be improved if it just concentrated on the dialect from one town, say Damascus, or Beirut, or wherever, and just tried to get you good at that. It's as if a French book tried to teach you standard French but then threw in a southern tonic accent ("less commonly used"), several Picard words, taught you to say "je sommes" just in case you speak to a very old person in some rural part of Britanny, and then a couple of Latin maxims... you'd end up speaking a strange mix of several dialects! The liberal use of silent hs is not helpful either. Well, there aren't so many options for the Levantine dialects, so I guess it's better than nothing. Anyway, you're doing well to make sense of it all, it's fun watching and seeing you confront the same questions I've been having and slowing getting my head around, and your approach with your linguistics background is really interesting.

«Soal» has come to mean «problem» in Indonesian. I guess it’s a problem to not know the answer to questions…😊

I’m considering purchasing the book - does it also have the texts is Arabic script or it the whole thing in transliteration?

Love this, this video is like a direct response to Language Simp’s latest video about hating linguistics!😂

To be honest it felt like too much work and I never got around to it and now she is not at all shy about just telling us with words things she wants anyway.

Bro most neurotic language study session I've ever seen. ma3lim/a is weird you should just say ustaz/a for teacher. These dialogs feel pretty stiff and unnatural, but I have a lot of Lebanese friends so probably biases me toward Leb dialect. a3la kil hal, allah ma'ak.

Formal statement of my goals: 1. Revive my Meme's mother tongue and pass it down to my future child 2. Have the ability to cast spells in my ancestral language Bonus goal: Be able to speak French with the bilingual side of my family, both in the U.S. and in New Caledonia

مرحبتين، صارلي فترة عم تابع قناتك. قناتك عظيمة. مبروك! أنا كمان ساكن في منهاطن (أنا محامي هون) و عم أتعلم عربي و عبري في نفس الوقت. بعرف انو هي الرسالة يمكن شكلها شوي غريبة بس إذا جاي على بالك تتدرب اللغتين مع واحد تاني (و ما خوّتك مع هي التعليق🤣)، اكتبلي. بوعد انو أنا مش شخص مجنون 😅. להתראות

47:15 ish, lebanese speakers often turn "ah" vowels into "eh" or "ih", so "m3allmih" "muhandisih" and "beb" are common in lebanon and "m3allmah" "muhandasa" "baab" are more common in jordan/palestine/syria

The amount of cope here is intense.

Yay! I can and do pray in Hebrew, too. Apart from that, I'm not really multilingual, unfortunately. This video is very much to the point and offers a healthy perspective! Thank you!

That's fantastic Rodney, bonnet de douche! You know, Trigger, Champs Elysees innit? (Del Boy, Only Fools and Horses)

💯

Looking forward to your book when it comes out!

Would you recommend Babbel?

Engagement.

Glang.

Dude, you are cracking me up. 😂 I am just about to start my journey learning Greek, and your videos are going to save me a lot of time finding the first couple steps. Phyllacteries… Phil’s breasts?

Thanks תודה شكرا

Definitely Edinburglers

Just a tip, “bath” in ASL should involve the hands moving in the same direction simultaneously, not in opposite directions. Good luck! Keep it up!!

I have read the Definiteness book, I have never met anyone else who has!😅 I speak Hungarian, and they have taken the concept to another level, having a whole separate verb conjugation paradigm depending on whether the direct object is definte or not. Gotta love it!

Hebrew Time is another great podcast, maybe more intermediate level. I just import into LingQ, and it makes the transcripts, and you can look up every word right away. It has done wonders for my vocab.

Very interesting. I had never heard of baby sign. I am an animal communicator, and I get some of the same reactions to what I can do. People think I'm crazy, or making it up, but there has been too much clear non-confirmation biased results for it to be made up. I actually have vets that I work with who have had good results with their pet patients when I am asked to help. I know this is not a language like humans teach and speak to each other. I don't know how I do what I can do, but I do know how wonderful it is for thinking beings to be able to be heard for the first time.

21:10 - 27:10 i have a couple of notes. 1. maim metukim (מים מתוקים) is a real term and it means fresh water, the derivation is that it's the opposite of salty water. 2. maim mugazim i would consider to be the slightly more rare and slightly fancier way of saying sparkling water in hebrew. confusingly enough the word that is usually used is "soda" (סודה) i say confusing because unlike english, in Hebrew soda only refers to sparkling water. (you will never say in Hebrew something like "Coke is a soda", for example.)

Language deprivation is real for deaf children. Here are some stats for you. Perhaps encouraging real communication for language deprived deaf children and not a fad for hearing children might be more beneficial. However, 95% of deaf children are born to hearing parents who do not know a sign language when their child is born. Many organizations in the U.S. recommend that families consider learning ASL, but some argue that hearing parents are likely unable or unwilling to learn a new language to communicate with their child. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/

I was shocked and saddened to learn that segregation has lead to the development of Black American Sign Language, different from American Sign Language. I have a dream that one day, all Americans will speak the same common language,

Je te suivrai si tu faisais les études d’hébreu à travers le français 😹

Pro tipː If you got praised for your language skills, you are still bad at it.

I desperately need Hebrew book with vowels...

I like Duolingo. I look for the explanations in the internet, because Duolingo doesn’t explain much, but it’s ok with internet help.

1:11:11 my favorite part of the stream haha

Two observations from the UK - we have Baby Sign over here but based on BSL not ASL My main observation is that if you can get your child a DEAF teacher (or a hearing teacher is fluent in BSL) rather than a hearing person using a sign system derived from BSL you get a much better deal. - they will naturally use simplified BSL or ASL grammar and syntax (as they would use with a deaf child) rather than an artificial language system Your child will not only develop sign vocab faster but you and your child will then also develop sign language grammar and syntax which usual also happens earlier than they can in spoken english - they'll get to do numbers earlier and all this will help their cognitive development and their later development of spoken english. Especially the use of placement can help increase long and short term memorability of numbers (my wife researched this in he post grad Deaf education research) Please consider this .

Gosh . That was something that I had no idea existed. Very, very interesting.

I would like to learn Sanskrit to better read Hindu literature.

Wow that's neat. Never knew this existed but it makes sense.

I would like to talkl with my family and learn enough to travel.

I just like how you signed "Jones". :). Nice.

Trying to learn Finnish on duolingo and now I know that Vainö is a wizard

This is so interesting! If I ever should have a baby I will definitely look into this more

I like studying languages but WITHOUT behavior modification social media. The reason there are fake polyglots is because the business design of social media is the more fake and edited you make yourself to be, the more dopamine you get, which encourages people to selectively edit even more to get the “hit”. The behavior modification technique came from Pavlov conditioning (“like”=reward, “dislike”=punishment). So the behavior modification technique is “let me post only what the audience likes so I can get a “reward” (likes) but if they “dislike” it (punishment) I won’t post it again.” I have a cool method for studying languages that’s give me the same “hit” that people get likes on social media. Whenever I study languages I usually use caffeine (which generates emotion and dopamine) and I sync my left and right brain together so the information is easily recalled. I combine this with “variety is the spice of life” principle. (Variety stimulates dopamine). So when you can create your own “hit” there’s no need to get it on behavior modification platforms that subconsciously coerce you into doing “reward” and “punishment” behavior❤

Some more videos about this -- tutorials? -- would be much appreciated. 😅

How to be fluent in Finnish: be quite, say oho when necessary, perfect oho pronunciation and intonations so no one is the wiser

I've never heard this topic before as a childless 26 year old. I'm not super into the developmental part of philosophies of mind. But, this is SO cool and all the babbling stuff at the end is extremely Deleuzean.

I'm commenting because the algorithm just gave me the "more" sign, and also on accounta I'm a word guy and I find your vids interesting. 🤓 I'm intrigued by the idea that preverbal babies can communicate basic wants and needs far "ahead of schedule." Very cool!

Fantastic! I will be watching all of your videos and liking them all. I am not sure if you already made a video about Chomsky's UG, but I would definitely like to watch that. Thanks!

late discovered autistic gen Xer who was a delayed talker (tho early reader 🤪) but luckily went to a tri-lingual preschool (spanish, english & asl) as communicating with my hands often feels more natural so wonder if other benefits might be specifically for neurodivergent folks? signed communication systems not only provide an alternative communication option (something i've seen be helpful in group homes for people with various developmental disabilities) but appear to encourage caregivers developing flexibility/curiosity wrt understanding others 🤔 used "baby sign" with my autistic infant before knew either of us are "on the spectrum" & had similar experience as described in the video 🥳 i'm sure our shared neurodivergence increases our mutual understanding but suspect early communication successes also strengthened our relationship

0:20 I'm pretty sure that Krashen never once claimed that comprehensible input is the best or only method to learn a language. Wait... I'm 100% sure of that. He specifically and intentionally said "acquire" a language and differentiated this from "learning" a language.

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and it’s fantastic. The tips are excellent and you clearly put a lot of thought into it. Instant subscribe! 😊

My friend's baby also uses the "more" sign for "want" :D they are happy with baby sign language, but it didn't have a large impact apparently.
