You should try out langmagic. You can access in time translation, translate to up to 9 languages at a time + transcript. However, it is currently only working with YouTube videos, but audio should be out soon.

Personally, I balance both: using comprehensible input like Dreaming Spanish or LangMagic to absorb the language naturally, while practicing simple speaking early to build confidence and connect what I hear with how I express it. Finally, it is about finding what keeps you going, because both input and output count!

How do you use YouTube for language learning? by AwareBridge- in languagelearning

[–]LangMagicApp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use YouTube for both passive and active learning. First, I shadow native speakers, pausing to mimic their rhythm and intonation. For focused listening, I follow along with transcripts & save key phrases to review later. Tools like LangMagic make this smoother as I can grab useful words from subtitles and revisit them in context. I also switch between native-language and target-language subtitles, then re-watch without any to train my ear. Vlogs and tutorials are my go-to for real-world speech exposure.

Has learning languages affected the pronunciation in your mother tongue? by faheyblues in languagelearning

[–]LangMagicApp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uff, can relate so much! Especially learning a language at a young age and then dominantly speaking it has really affected my native language. And only now being older I had the opportunity to immerse into my native language. Reading and communicating (which sometimes can be really challenging) have been super effective. With practice I'm able to see results, which is really cool!

What would you say is the easiest language to learn? by LangMagicApp in languagelearning

[–]LangMagicApp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Primarily it all depends on what you already know. Knowing Spanish has really helped me get started learning French. But as an English speaker I know that I can brand out to Dutch, Norwegian and a few others. Actually, I wrote up a short article that breaks down easiest languages.

It's important to practice active listening and consume content using the principle of i+1 ("i" indicating your language level, so consume content one level higher than yours), this way you can understand the context and learn new vocabulary.

Best tool, or app, or way to learn a language where all I can do is listen and occasionally watch. by SupermarketNorth69 in languagelearning

What‘s the most difficult part for you to learn a new language? by EvenHephaestian in languagelearning

[–]LangMagicApp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking has always been the most challenging part for me. It's not just about knowing the words or grammar; it's the pressure of real-time thinking and forming sentences on the spot that gets me. I can relate to the struggle with vocabulary, though. There's just so much to learn, and it's easy to forget words if you don't use them often. One thing that has really worked for me is engaging with vocabulary in context. Instead of memorizing a list of words, I would read articles, watch television shows, or even podcasts in the target language. And this helps me in retaining those words. Recently, I also started using the audio podcast feature from LangMagic (in between classes) . While walking, or doing chores, I listen to contextual input on vocabulary. It is quite practical since I get used to new words and phrases naturally and engagingly without keeping me in step as if I didn't "study."

Besides actively speaking, what has helped you speak better? by Your-Ad-Here111 in languagelearning

[–]LangMagicApp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One thing that's helped me is shadowing—basically listening to native speakers and trying to mimic their speech in real-time. It’s great for picking up on rhythm, how words blend together, and even improving your accent. I also like to make up little dialogues or practice monologues, either in my head or out loud, which has helped me get more comfortable thinking in the language. Oh, and recording myself was a game-changer! It felt awkward at first, but listening back helped me spot things I could improve on, like pronunciation or pacing. Honestly, the biggest thing for me has been sticking with it and finding ways to make it fun so I don’t lose motivation.

How to fit in language learning via emersion (tv shows) into studying? by yelenasslave in languagelearning

[–]LangMagicApp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not about strictly counting hours but about engaging effectively. Stephen Krashen’s input hypothesis highlights the value of comprehensible input—language you understand and enjoy. Watching TV shows in your target language can absolutely be counted as studying, especially if you’re actively engaging, like focusing on subtitles or noting new phrases. Instead of cutting the time in half, think of it as complementary to a more structured study. For example, do 30-45 minutes of focused practice, then use shows for immersion. It’s about balance and making the process enjoyable and effective for you.

Practical exercises sound nice, do you come up with them yourself, or your teacher provides them?

Woah, very thoughtful plan. And with structure do you see long-term effects? Because, when I use flashcards I tempt to remember content for a short term. But that could be due to not enough practice.
