Why You Can't Understand Sentences (Even Though You Know All the Words)
One of the most common problems I hear language learners report is “knowing all of the words in a sentence, but still not being able to understand what the sentence means as a whole”. This video is an in-depth exploration of exactly why this happens, and how to go about fixing it.
If you are a regular viewer of my content, you can probably guess what the solution is: immersion. But, in this video, I go into the actual mechanisms of HOW immersion helps you improve your ability to understand sentences. Hope you find it useful!
