Easy Language Immersion Tips #1

In this video I discuss a few methods to change settings incorporating the immersion language learning method. If you cannot go to the country of the language you speak, you can still modify portions of your life to use the language on a daily basis. Here are 3 quick and easy ways to accomplish this. I've started with changing my Windows PC, my Netflix profile, and an idle game for my mobile device. Once I get comfortable, I'll start changing other things that I use, and little by little this should hopefully start improving my reading of things as if I was using these things in the country of my target language.

I should add that as someone born in the 70s and a kid in the 80s.... I'm an original G1 Transformers fan - none of the Bayverse stuff.😂
Optimus Prime is a Semi Tractor Trailer
Bumblebee is a Volkswagen Beetle
Jetfire is a Veritech/Valkyrie fighter.... wait a minute... am I the only one who remembers that crossover?😉

PS - I do explain how to change your setting back as well if you get stuck :-D

NOTE: I am a fellow learner and not claiming to be a teacher in any of these subjects, but sharing my learning methods. I hope some of these videos are helpful to people out there learning new skills in adulthood. Please feel free to share your experiences with me and others. Remember that we are always learning together.

My translations, karate techniques, spoken language, etc., will often have mistakes as I'm figuring this out on my own as much as possible. The mistakes are necessary for learning.

I will make lots of mistakes in the videos as I'm still learning these subjects.... over time, I'll find things to correct and make new videos to document my progress.

Continuing with the current sound setup with minimal editing for now, I'm happy with the audio using a lapel microphone - though I might start lowering the initial volume level. This time, my camera is a brand new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra using the front facing camera in Portrait Video Settings. Additionally, I upgraded to another PC with better...everything. For the near future, I'll use this setup for my next videos and will continue to focus on camera presence and video production.
