Language Learners and Polyglots discussion

Hello everyone,

I've just published a book on language learning, but with a very different approach. Human way of learning rather than technical way. It is psycholinguistics, language learning mixed with psychology. Education, Travel, Self-Help and Communication in one. In case anyone is intereested the title is Fluent Without Borders.

Greetings,
Marton

Congratulations, Marton, that sounds like a fine achievement and an interesting holistic approach.

Hello everyone!
I'm a language teacher and I recently created a bilingual activity book (English/French) for learners and teens.
I'm looking for a few readers interested in reviewing it and sharing honest feedback.
I can provide a free review copy (PDF).
If you're interested, please comment or send me a message. Thank you!

I would normally be interested, Eman, but not now that Goodreads has stopped direct messaging. I don't want to post my email address.
I think you have may have lost your opportunity on Goodreads because of this. I hope you find someone who can review your book. Well done on achieving it. What is the book's title ?

I’ve also been exploring different ways of learning languages, and I found that music-based approaches helped me a lot with motivation and consistency.

I’m curious to hear what others here think about using music as part of language learning.

I don't know about using music to teach languages but I found it interesting that my best students were nearly always musicians. Not only Hesse saw the close connection between music and language.

My current language course provides songs, as more memorable than prose exercises. I find, though, that I have to like the song or the tune for it to work.

That’s a really interesting observation. I’ve noticed something similar... music seems to strengthen pattern recognition, memory, and rhythm, which are all essential for language learning.

It makes sense that musicians would have an advantage, even if the learning itself isn’t explicitly music-based.

That makes a lot of sense. I’ve noticed the same thing, emotional connection really matters. When the song resonates with you, it’s much easier to remember patterns, sounds, and even structures.

I think that personal taste plays a big role in whether music-based learning actually works.
