Polyglot is an educational reality show that was broadcast on the Culture channel. The idea of ​​the show is to explore foreign languages. While watching the program, you have the opportunity to learn to speak a foreign language in 16 hours - 16 video lessons.

The class is taught by a polyglot teacher, Dmitry Petrov (knows about 50 languages), who also works as a simultaneous translator and is a psycholinguist by training. It’s interesting that he teaches groups of eight people, many of them which are famous faces. The participants do not know the language at all, or they learned it at school a long time ago. The guys start communicating in English from the first lesson, which is a plus, because... training begins from the first lesson colloquial speech, and not just grammar and reading, as is usually customary.

An interesting fact is that in any language, 90% of a person’s speech consists of only 300-400 words. This course is based on the study of these words. The main advantage of "Polyglot" is the opportunity to a small amount of time to learn to speak and express your thoughts more confidently. At each lesson, those covered are consolidated and new topics are started at the request of the students. By the end of the course, it is planned that students will freely use in their speech the grammatical patterns and phrases learned during their studies. Greatest benefit The course will benefit those who do not know the language at all, or simply do not remember most of the words they have learned throughout their lives.

In the first lesson, Dmitry talks about the basic forms of past, future and present tense and the rules for their use in accordance with pronouns. On the second, the group learns the rules of construction interrogative sentences. Next, topics such as seasons, weather, days of the week and months will be studied. Subsequent lessons are devoted to various situations.

Thus, with the help of this course you will be able to master basic phrases, words and communicate fluently. household level in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian. To successfully master a language for such a short time It is very important to motivate yourself, not to be lazy and devote at least 5-10 minutes a day to repeating and learning new words! And of course, don’t forget to constantly practice, talk with friends, watch movies and videos, read adapted literature.

A real gift from the famous linguist Dmitry Petrov and the Kultura TV channel. A video course of 16 lessons, after which you will be able to speak English. This is the most useful English course for beginners I have ever seen. Below is the text of the video. Watch and read, you won’t regret it!

 

Good afternoon Today we will begin a course that will take 16 lessons. Our goal is to learn to speak English. To master a language perfectly, even a lifetime is not enough. To learn to speak professionally, you also need to spend enough time, effort, and energy. But in order to simply learn to understand people, to be understood and, most importantly, to get rid of the fear that for many inhibits any desire and ability to communicate in language - I am sure that this will take no more than a few days.

What I offer you, I have experienced myself and it is enough large quantities people: I am a professional translator, a professional linguist, I do simultaneous translation in a number of languages, I teach it to others... And gradually some approach, some mechanism was developed... Moreover, it must be said that there is such a progression: each subsequent language requires less effort, less time.

- How many languages ​​do you know?

There are 7-8 main European languages, with whom I constantly work as a translator and as a teacher. Well, there are 2-3 dozen other languages ​​that I can speak in a situation where it is necessary.

- And what, you learned all these languages ​​in just a few lessons?!

Yes, if we are talking about the second category of languages, this is absolutely true. A week is enough for any language.

Let me explain what is required for this. After all, what is language? First of all, language is A New Look on the world, on the surrounding reality. This is the ability to switch, that is, to make a click - just like in a receiver we change one program to another - to tune in to a different wave. What is required on your part is, first of all, motivation. It could be just a desire to travel, it could be something related to a profession, training, or communication. It could be friendship and, finally, love.

Now we will try to figure out what was stopping you from learning the language along the way. Because you might think that we're talking about about some miracle: how can you speak a language in a few days? In my opinion, the miracle is different: how can you learn a language for months, years and not be able to connect some basic things in it? Therefore, I will ask you to start by giving your names and in a nutshell, say what has been a significant difficulty for you until now, why don’t you still speak English?

- My name is Michael. First of all, there was no incentive for me to speak. And at school, when I was going through this whole thing, at some point I missed it, then I didn’t understand it and...

This is a fairly typical argument, because most of you know a huge number of English words - consciously or subconsciously, but English words hover everywhere. But they can be compared to a scattering of beads, which themselves are scattered, but there is no system. The lack of a system makes it difficult to use words effectively, so one of the basic principles my method, my system is to create this thread, a rod where you can string all these beads.

Please, what is your name?

- Daria.

How was your relationship with language?

- Well, to be honest, it seems to me that only laziness prevented me from learning it, because, in principle, I kindergarten I started teaching him all the time, and I still don’t know, although I have the desire. Now I really want to learn English!

Well, laziness is a state and a property, worthy of respect. We must accept everything that is in us. Because fighting laziness is unrealistic. Therefore, I want to tell you good news: in addition to the fact that our course is quite compact (it’s not years or months, it’s 16 lessons, by the end of which, I hope, if you help me and take a step forward, you and I will simply speak English) you will have to do some things yourself, but one more good news: You don’t have to sit for hours and do some homework. Firstly, because it is unrealistic - no adult will ever do any homework for hours, no matter what he does.

I will ask you to repeat for a few minutes each day certain things that I will ask you to do at the end of each lesson. I can't believe you don't have 5 minutes 2-3 times a day to repeat certain structures. What is it for? The amount of information that is really worth mastering, learning, cramming into yourself does not exceed the multiplication table. It will be necessary to bring several basic structures to automation. What does it mean? Bring them to the level at which, for example, our legs work when they walk, how the structures of our native language work for us. This is quite real.

Please, what is your name?

- My name is Anna. The formal approach prevented me from learning English. Because I actually did well in school, and the generally simple things we learned boiled down to patterns that I can’t use when I meet a real person. Now, for example, a man from Dublin came to visit us, and I feel that there is no full communication taking place. I’m offended, time is running out... At the same time, I remember that I know everything, I have a 5 in English: the table is white, the wall is black, everything is fine, but there’s nothing to say!

Resentment is a very powerful motivation! OK, thank you! You?

- My name is Vladimir. I'm just ashamed. I feel bad when I can't express myself. I understand that it is quite relaxing, as I once had, I was talking to an Englishman after a couple of beers - I could communicate with him easily. For some reason, I didn’t like studying since childhood. I had the feeling that I knew everything. I have a feeling that I also know English. Sometimes in my dreams I speak easily and understand everything. Sometimes watching a film in English, I fall asleep and begin to understand it. But I could never learn to speak.

- My name is Anastasia. It seems to me that my lack of immersion in the environment is hindering me. Because when I start teaching myself and studying from books, these patterns begin: what comes first, what comes next, all the verbs... I can’t improvise anymore, I always remember this pattern in my head and think that I need to substitute it there.

Absolutely right! Our goal is to ensure that this scheme does not need to be remembered.

- My name is Alexandra. What probably bothers me is that there is a huge spectrum different methods and schools. I have a huge amount of information in my head, but I still can’t talk about the past, future and present. I get confused in these forms and, naturally, after 10 minutes my interlocutor says OK... :)

Well, maybe you are generally philosophical about time?.. As the course progresses, we will put things in order.

- My name is Oleg, and I have a certain horror, of course, about irregular verbs...

The beginning was similar: my name is Oleg and I’m an alcoholic :)

- I’m scared all the time, it seems to me that I can’t concentrate on the language, which, as it seems to me, I now know at the level of “yours, mine understands.”

- My name is Alice. I was always hampered by laziness and lack of time to go to courses and simply restore the language in volume.

Language in general, quite rightly, should be perceived as something three-dimensional. Any information that we receive in a linear form (a list of words, a table, a diagram of some rules, verbs) - this causes what we call the student syndrome: learned, passed and forgotten. To learn a language extensively, it is not enough to know words; you need to feel your physical presence in a new environment. Therefore, an image and some kind of emotional attachments and sensations must be connected. Now, if I ask you a question offhand, when they talk about the English language, what association comes to mind? Here English language- what came immediately?

- Envy! When I see children who speak English...

From childhood and for free :)

- And I remember the book. The Shakespeare edition is old, old! At my parents. Such a brown cover... I’ve been leafing through it since childhood, thinking, oh my God! And fields overgrown with heather...

Heather honey :)

So the first schema is the verb schema.
The verb in every language is the stem. Moreover, it must be said that when we talked about the number of words that need to be mastered, there is the following statistics: regardless of our age, level of education, or the language we speak, 90% of our speech is 300 - 350 words. By the way, from the list of these basic 300 words, verbs occupy 50 - 60 words (depending on the language).

According to the logic of using verbs, we can talk about either the present, the future, or the past.
We can either affirm or deny something, or ask or ask a question.
And here we get a table of 9 possible options.

Let's take some verb. For example, love. The functionality of the verb is given by the system of pronouns:

I, you, we, they, he, she.

You love means “you love” or “you love”. Sometimes they mistakenly claim that everything in English is “you”. Nothing like this! In English everything starts with “you”. There is a word for “you” in English, but it is only used when addressing God, in prayers, in the Bible, etc. This word is thou, but we won’t even write it down, because it’s a rare native speaker who even knows it.

Now, if the person is 3rd, then here we add the letter s:

In any language that we take on, in my opinion, we must give all forms of the verb at once, so that we can immediately see the three-dimensional structure. It’s not like today we learned it, in a month - past tense, in a year - interrogative form... All at once, in the first minutes!

Read more about times in the article. There's a video there. Dragunkin explains everything very clearly :)

To form the past tense, add the letter d:

I loved
he loved
she loved

To form the future tense, the auxiliary word will is added: I will love; he will love; she will love.

- What about “shall”?

Canceled. For the last 30 years, “shall” has been used in legal/clerical language.

- So when we were taught it, it had already been canceled?

It was no longer there!)

And here we have affirmative form verb.

- What is “it”?

“It” no. There is no word “it” in English because there is no gender. In Russian there are masculine, feminine and neuter genders, in English there is none. The word it simply means “this” and has nothing to do with it. Unfortunately, many who were taught in school that he, she, it are three genders, remained in this misconception. There is no gender in English! There is one common genus. He and she are words indicating a person's gender, but they are not grammatical gender. In Russian it is big/bolshaya/bolshoe, in English it will all be big.

That is, if I play with the word “it” (it) in some literary way, like in Russian, they won’t be able to translate me?

Absolutely. Therefore, we have to look for some other means.

…
Negative form: don’t is added:

I/you/we/they don’t love; he/she doesn't love.

Negative form in past tense:

I/you/we/they/he/she didn’t love.

This structure is the most important, the most difficult, the very first in the English language. Once you have mastered it, it’s like mastering half the language.

Negative form in the future tense:

I/you/we/they/he/she will not love.

Interrogative form in the present tense: DO, DOES is added.

Interrogative form in past tense: DID.

Interrogative form in the future tense: WILL.

The result is a coordinate system: first I decide whether I AFFIRM, ASK or DENIAL, then I find out whether it WAS, IS or WILL BE?

Here is this list, in which there are 50 - 60 verbs that every person constantly uses (there are, of course, 1000 others, but they occupy 10%). Eat regular verbs: love, live, work, open, close... But there is another half of the verbs, which is called and causes awe and horror, because from childhood everyone remembers these tables with three forms, hundreds of some verbs...

So, in fact, in the basic list that we need to master and bring to automatism, there are half of them, that is, 20 - 30 irregular verbs that we need to master. Let's take the irregular (super-irregular) verb see:

I don't see. It doesn't

Nothing has changed yet...

And only in one case (a statement in the past tense) out of 9 possible cases does the “obscene” form saw appear:

This is the form of the verb that is written in brackets: see (saw).

Moreover, irregular verbs can only be very common, because in the course of history they are used so often that they are inevitably distorted.

The third form of the verb, which we will get to later, is the participle (seen, done, etc.), so it must be lumped together with the verb form.

In all other 8 cases - correct or irregular verb- doesn't matter.

Tell me, are “he came” and “he came” the same thing in English?

The concept of aspect (perfective aspect / imperfective aspect) exists only in Russian (Slavic languages):

Come, come

This is not the case in English:

He came – he came; He came

You take a verb and run it through all these forms. This takes from 20 to 30 seconds. Then take another verb. When mastering structures, regularity of repetition is much more important than the amount of time. It is very important. You will see that after 2-4 lessons this structure will work automatically.

Is this diagram clear? There are several more schemes that are simpler, smaller in volume and more understandable. But everything is based on this scheme, so it needs to be brought to automaticity. When you try to speak, this is the first thing to do. And you either need to spend time and energy on this to glue it together on your internal monitor, or make sure that it works on its own, for you.

With regular repetition, after a few days, this structure will begin to work automatically, which may not have happened for many years.

Usually this is given very piecemeal and the relationship is not explained. When there is no single three-dimensional picture, problems arise that haunt many people for years.

With this we will finish our first lesson, and I really hope that you will find a few minutes to try to move this structure towards automation. Goodbye!
