Basically, I've got this idea, that I'm not sure whether It'll work or not. Let me start off by saying that when I was a little child, I soaked up words like sponge, and I pretty much grew up bilingual, trilingual even. Learned German through cartoons, learned English with internet and video games. I am older now, a teenager, and I'm attempting to learn another language. However, it's just not working out... the online lessons are boring, and hard to remember and way too long. And just.. not fun. Call me a kid or whatever, but if the only way to learn a language is through endlessly studying grammar and words, I don't want to do it. There must be a better way. And then I got this idea. I personally enjoy watching YouTube videos and playing video games, why not use it to learn the language? That can apply to anything you enjoy really... Enjoy listening to music or singing? Start singing in that language! I want to start something, like a Youtube channel where I can both teach and learn languages. Like, for an example there could be videos in which I play a video game and speak in German, but with English subtitles. Also, i'd pause from time to time to explain sentences or words from the game... Different genres of games would allow for the watchers to pick up a wide variety of vocab, all while being actually entertained. There could also be group videos and collabs where people with different levels of the language could speak and play. I could find some native speakers... There could be game servers, groups... and things like that. And different series for each language... I've searched for a thing like that, and I have yet to find it. So I thought about maybe starting it myself... I have no idea if that'll work, so I'm looking for some 'pro' linguists to give me their opinion. I basically googled "language forum" and that's how I came here.. So yeah! :ninja:
