What has language learning taught YOU?👇

[dmitriykovtun]

I am Ukrainian, and if I hadn’t decided to learn English I wouldn’t have found such a great channel

[raykleiner]

I speak 5 languages fluently, and have lived in 7 countries, including in the Middle East. It has made me a citizen of the world for which I am grateful and was a blessing. The only way to connect to local culture is to speak the language, otherwise you will always be a tourist.

I traveled to Spain on my own and for two weeks I spoke only Spanish as a native English speaker. I had many years of Spanish, but I got a lot better using it everyday. I welcomed the loneliness aspect as it allowed for deep introspection and I learned a lot about myself during that trip. There's nothing wrong with some time to yourself and doing things alone, not everyone needs to thrive with others.

That moment with the old lady was so wholesome ❤️. I was kinda nervous at first for y'all but y'all did fairly well 😭

I'm a 43 years old argentinean. At the age of 21 I moved to USA. I spoke very little Ingles, whatever I learned in highschool wich was nothing I found my report carts with failing grades in English class. I remember saying to myself why would I learn English when I live in this small town and I'm so poor I cant afford to go anywhere.
Somehow I ended up living in USA for 22 years.
Learning English at the age of 21 opened a new universe.
After 22 years of hard work I moved back home and I living my dream life. Now I teach English for free to kids that can't afford English classes while I reinvented myself studying computer science and it is a huge advantage to know English in this industry while I'm in Argentina.

I started using italki to learn Japanese back in December and it added so much quality to my learning and structure. I'm absolutely in love with the language and have been working hard MOSTLY every day to practice. Having someone to speak with 2 times a week for an 1hr and 45 minutes is incredibly helpful.

I've managed to acquire English and it has changed my life dramatically, now every day is different and I don't even remember how I'd been living without it. And I expect Japanese to give me something of the kind. I've been learning Japanese for years now, thousands of hours, able to read and comprehend speech, but I realize I would be scared to death to talk to those people and it breaks my heart. I see how you deal with them and they're sweet to you, I do want it but something in me is terrified of going out and having a conversation with a stranger. The thing is everyone is a stranger in this world before you talk to them. I've moved away from my country and really feel so lonely out here most of the time, I can speak some and they can answer some, even have a laugh occasionally, joking around via 300 words or so. I don't really think loneliness is all about the language as I've seen people get together with only an online translator. It's deeply rooted in the fear of people themselves.

This is one of the best videos on YouTube. Very inspiring and a great reminder of how important it is to connect with people.

Learning extra languages is initially to be interested in the culture, traditions, and people of that country. What you're trying to do has a great impact.

Hi Will, I'm Will from Montreal. I don't know why but your video happen to be in my recommendation. I've been living in Japan for 2 years and am really impressed with your determination to learn a really complicated language for English speakers (although being born and raised in MTL, French grammar is much more complicated).

[susannicky]

Learning people’s own language is definitely important for relationship with them.
The market's direction can swiftly change, with indexes frequently transitioning from a bear market to a bull market precisely when the news is most negative and investor sentiment reaches its lowest point. I came across an article highlighting individuals who achieved profits of up to $150, 000 during challenging market periods. Considering this, I am curious about the best stocks to purchase now or add to a watchlist.

[fabsir]

It's so beautiful what you're doing man, congrats!

[jjn]

Knowing at least 2 languages changes all the possible life paths one can have. And, the perspective you gain from knowing how other cultures think and what they value are invaluable and insightful in helping you understand your place in the world.

[ntrg]

I've been learning Japanese for 2 years already, and honestly i cant wait to learn another language, its just too fun to learn languages

[cecehong]

I also found taking in-person language course helpful. It was a slow process. But now i appreciate so much of the culture is learned through the language. Sending a lot of support to you guys. U got this..!

[Xyzxxxxxx]

I love it! Very beautiful! Everyone looks very friendly and kind ❤

[samkgp]

I will never regret learning new languages. It gave me the opportunity to work when I thought I wasn't enough for job positions in my country. I also had the chance to meet people from other countries while I learned more about their cultures. I feel more curious about this world, and It opened the door to new knowledge. I hope everyone can have the chance to learn a new language.

I studied Spanish as my 3rd language at 29 year old. I think the key is to constantly remind yourself the purpose of why you’re doing it and do it constantly. Talk to native people and incorporate your hobbies with the language you’re learning (songs, movies, games, etc)
