  <title>83 - Turn your EGO into an EGG and break it! Learn like a child!</title>
  <description>Here is the YouTube version of the episode: https://youtu.be/rTbuThPqxGA?t=1 (don't forget to follow) English teacher and lifelong learner Hamid shares with us what he had been learning during the last two decades when it comes to learning a new language. How should we learn a language? It's quite simple. Learn like a child!&amp;amp;nbsp; In episode 83 of my fluent podcast, Hamid shares his tips and tricks in a spectacular way. Gripping. Simple. Understandable.&amp;amp;nbsp; Let us all turn our Ego into an Egg!&amp;amp;nbsp;  Chapters 11:05 For the first week, Hamid doesn't teach his students English. Instead, he gives them general lectures about language learning - how to learn a language.&amp;amp;nbsp; 11:50&amp;amp;nbsp; Which group is more successful when it comes to learning a language?&amp;amp;nbsp; A. Language acquisition of the first language by children or B. Language acquisition of the second language by adults?&amp;amp;nbsp; 13:40 The child starts listening first and then speaking - if you want to learn a language successfully, you should learn a language like a child. Listen and speak first. 20:08 Vocabulary is more important than grammar. But nevertheless, learn grammar at tha same time.&amp;amp;nbsp; In the child's case, fluency comes first and then accuracy. 22:57 What could be an effective way to learn vocabulary? 26:05&amp;amp;nbsp; The child plays, enjoys and learns! The best teacher you can have is yourself. Do anything you like. Read, listen etc. do whatever you want. Learn like a child. 28:48 The child is the better learner but still makes mistakes!&amp;amp;nbsp; We learn by making mistakes. Don't be afraid of making mistakes! 32:14&amp;amp;nbsp; The child has no EGO issues. Turn your EGO into an EGG and break it!&amp;amp;nbsp; 33:53 E comes before D! Remember that! 37:40 Learn English in English! 41:14 The child is playing and is in an ideal envirnonment and still needs about 10 years to command his language. Is the child a bad learner? 10 years = 20 semesters.
