In this video I did my best to pronounce Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic with their original full range of phonemes, including sound distinctions that you won't hear in Modern Hebrew. If you know some Modern Hebrew (or a modern form of Aramaic) the pronunciation in this video will sound different. I'm sure I didn't do it perfectly, but I tried to make it as authentic as possible.

This video is all about the Icelandic language, an Insular North Germanic language (along with Faroese). It can be also be classified as a member of the Western branch of the North Germanic languages (along with Faroese and Norwegian) because it developed mainly from Western dialects of Old Norse. Icelandic is said to be the closest North Germanic language to Old Norse (meaning Old Icelandic as it appears in old literature like the Icelandic sagas). Icelandic retains much of the inflection that existed in Old Norse. Contrast that with English which has lost most of the inflection that existed in Old English - a language which was very similar to Old Norse. The fascinating result is that Icelandic feels just like a familiar but somewhat distant cousin of English. And for anyone who has studied Old English, the relation will seem much less distant. Video credits: ►Producer, writer, and host: Paul ►Video editing and visual effects: Luis Solana Ureña (Acribus Studio) ►Special thanks to Gummi (Guðmundur) Heimisson for his Icelandic audio samples, feedback and suggestions.

This video is all about Luxembourgish and its features, in comparison with Standard German. I also talk about Luxembourg as a rich multilingual environment and try to give a bit of an idea of what life must be like there. Luxembourg is officially trilingual, having Luxembourgish, French, and German as its official languages. Most people speak more than one language and switch between them depending on the setting and the person they are interacting with. The historical native language of Luxembourg is a Moselle Franconian High German dialect, which became Luxembourgish as it was standardized and made the national language of the country. Special thanks to Tom Weber for his Luxembourgish audio samples and helpful advice, and to Markus Doehr for his Standard German samples and helpful advice.

Special thanks to Will Groundwater for his help with research and writing for this video. Until now I've written all of my video scripts myself, but recently I've taken the first steps towards creating a Langfocus writing team. The basic process so far is that team members research and write drafts of scripts, which I then fact check, edit, rewrite and/or write additional sections for. The goal is to be able to produce more Langfocus videos by getting some help, while still overseeing the process and being involved in the scripts. I'm excited about this and think it's what Langfocus needs in order to grow and reach new levels.

Today we delve into the history of the English language and look at the Germanic, Romance, and other influences that have shaped the Modern English of today. Are you learning a language? One great resource to check out is Innovative Language podcast programs: https://langfocus.com/innovative-language-podcasts/. @4:39 to 4:50 there's an error: the text should say "Middle English" not "Modern English". Both are true, but at that moment I'm talking about the changes from OE to Middle English.

When researching this video I looked up the etymology of "in" and read that it's of Latin origin, meaning "into, in, on, upon". So I thought that it must have been one of the early borrowings into Germanic dialects that I mentioned in the video. But I went back and checked the source again, and I realized that the dictionary entry I was reading was for the PREFIX "in－", not the standalone word. The standalone word has always existed in the Germanic language family. And ultimately, both the Germanic and Latin words come from the Proto-Indo-European word "en".** http://facebook.com/langfocus http://instagram.com/langfocus http://twitter.com/langfocus http://langfocus.com Music: Main music 1: “Night Music” by Kevin MacLeod.

In the "Language Learning Edge" series I look at important but often overlooked areas of language learning, with the goal of helping others be better at independent learning. Edge #5 is about avoiding ego traps that harm your progress. The key is to think of yourself as someone who *follows a process and gets a result* instead of thinking of yourself as someone who IS "bad with languages" or IS "good with languages". Both of those attitudes can lead to hesitation, avoiding practice opportunities, going in circles, or giving up. Love the language and love the process and don`t give any meaning to failures and successes - everyone faces them all the time.

Some of the most famous people in the world are English speakers but have learned a foreign language. Find out who and which languages they`ve learned. My viewers who are non-native speakers of English will probably laugh at the title of this video, because outside of English speaking countries, it`s not really much of a surprise when a celebrity speaks another language! But in the USA, the UK, and so on - we just tend to be monolingual and find it quite exotic that people are bilingual or multilingual. ** At the 3:14 mark I say that Gwyneth Paltrow studied Spanish in Mexico, but that`s a mistake.

Whether to spend time learning a Japanese dialect is something that I`ve seen a number of Japanese beginners ask about, especially when they are planning to move to Japan soon or have recently arrived. Before I moved to Kansai I wondered if studying Kansai dialect would be a valuable use of my time.

This is a review of Pimsleur French and the Pimsleur Method overall. I completed 4 levels of Pimsleur French (as well as a level of Egyptian Arabic, Hebrew, and Tagalog) and I think it`s quite a useful method for building your speaking, listening, and command of basic sentence structure. It`s a great way to build to escape the trap of traditional book-heavy learning that may give you a lot of knowledge of the language that you can`t apply to communication. But Pimsleur isn`t the only material you should use, and there are some reasons for this: visual input is important; uncontrolled practice is important.

How to use a phrasebook effectively! If you have ever traveled with a foreign language phrasebook and found it useless, you simply weren`t using it as well as you could have. Phrasebooks aren`t very useful if you just use them on the fly when you`re trying to communicate with someone. Even if you manage to make yourself understood (which could be a tall order depending on the language) you won`t understand what you`re saying in the foreign language, and you won`t understand anything the other person is saying. In a case like that, might as well use Google Translate. But Phrasebooks make great portable study tools. Find out how to use them most effectively.

I studied everyday the past week, using audio CDs, a phrasebook, a textbook, anki flashcards, and Skype lessons with a teacher through italki. The results? You can judge.

As a fairly frequent visitor to Philippines I thought it was time I started learning some of the national language Tagalog (AKA Filipino). Until now, I`ve always been able to get by with English there because almost everyone speaks it. But languages are not just for "getting by", they`re also for enjoyment, making connections with the locals, and understanding the culture and country more deeply. I only started a few days ago but so far Tagalog is fun. I have studied Bahasa Indonesia/Malayu in the past, and was interested to see if they had much in common with Tagalog. I see some similarities in vocabulary and the verb system, but not that much obvious similarity. And Tagalog is more complicated.
