Is this Keeping You From Learning a Language or slowing your progress? You know the fear of making a mistake? Sometimes it can be so great that it literally controls us and prevents us from trying new things or applying ourselves. This is no different with trying to learn a new language, specifically if you’re taking classes or trying to improve your speaking skills in a second language. There are a ton of factors that can make learning a language difficult but there’s one that you might not have realized and it has everything to do with something called your affective filter. In this video I explain one of linguist Stephen Krashen's language acquisition theories on Affective Filters and the Affective Filter Hypothesis. Understand the difference between a High Affective Filter and Low Affective Filter and how YOU can improve your language learning abilities in the classroom and on your own. Sources: https://www.collaborativeclassroom.org/blog/lowering-the-affective-filter-for-english-language-learners-facilitates-successful-language-acquisition/ Languages and cultures are so complex and interesting that I've always wanted to study and learn them. In this video I share with you all the three reasons why I learn language. ► For more French, English, and general language learning tips and content subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=koala_hugs ► Check out this video: https://youtu.be/Y2wLqU-SB8Q ► Help translate videos: http://www.youtube.com/timedtext_cs_panel?c=UCP6HVSu5UnCrlY05CSmJowQ&tab=2 This video is NOT sponsored.

Even though Valentine's Day was last week, it's still close enough that I wanted to go over words such as LIKE, LOVE, DISLIKE, HATE, and PREFER in English. Hi guys and welcome to Koala Hugs! If you're learning French, English, looking for tips and help with language learning in general then you're in the right place! This video explains what each of these words means and the three ways to use them including how they work with Gerunds (words that end in -ing), and the Infinitive (verbs with the word to in front) in English. Know that if you're using dislike then sometimes it makes more sense to use "DO NOT LIKE" instead, especially for the Infinitive in English. Also know that if you're using Like, Love, Dislike/do not like, or Hate with a noun, if the noun is a count noun then it has to be plural if you're making a broad statement. This is a good video for English language learners especially if you have just started to learn English and want to be able to speak the language right away. ► Count nouns vs. Noncount nouns: https://youtu.be/TZwH2hyfIic For more info on how to use LOVE, LIKE, and HATE, check out this useful website: https://www.google.com/amp/s/dictionary.cambridge.org/amp/british-grammar/hate-like-love-and-prefer ► For more French, English, and general language learning tips and content subscribe: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=koala_hugs ► LEARN THE SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE IN ENGLISH - Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVnBQ8zaadA This video is NOT sponsored.
