Many of my friends tell me this. That I’m lucky I can speak languages. That they cannot because they are not good at it. The truth is all (or almost all) is discipline. I suck in languages but I practice everyday.

Language learning comes down to emotional intelligence. As always, your ideas and approach are gold Lucca!. Thanks always for the rich insights.

It's not talent but passion that drives us to learn. 🙏 Gracias Luca!

I learn so much from your channel Luca, way beyond just about language learning. I can't thank you enough.

What a great video, incredibly articulate and very useful...and considering English isn’t your mother tongue...you are very impressive...thank you for this.

I like the direction of your new content. You and Matt definitely seem to offer the best advice regarding language learning.

[grzegorzmartowski]

I think the problem is that nowadays people want to have everything right now. Learning languages is however a long journey and if they don't see any rapid progress, they just quit. Patience and perserverance that's the key to success !

[petrosstefanidis]

More power to you Luca! You look like a good fella to hang around. Keep inspiring us!

[AntipodePolyglot]

Thanks for this great video, Luca! This is such a popular excuse to say "I'm bad at languages".

I often told many people that there is no concept of "being bad at languages" but now I can just send them your video.

[VanyaQA]

Omg! You are my role model! You live a good life!

[juancarloshernandezhernand]

Perseverance and training is the key to find whatever we want to learn. Thank you Luca to keep motivating us to persevere in language learning.

[AntipodePolyglot]

Watching other polyglots is a great source of motivation for me. And that was you who has shown me that high proficiency in many languages is achievable. I admire your attention to the details, especially pronunciation.

And athletic talent does not exist either...no one is talented. Just run a lot and you will be a world class sprinter. Play basketball and you will in the NBA. Why people peddle this bizarre form of modern day Cartesian dualism is beyond me, as if the mind floated off the body and therefore is not subject to the same constraints as the body. Individuals have different aptitudes. Why do some people effortless acquire a new phonology whereas others never do? Why do some people never get certain grammatical concepts? Effort is part of it but that does not explain the relative ease with which some individuals acquire certain linguistic features vs. others. Sure von nix kommt nix, i.e. effort but that there is individuated distribution of ability is as obvious as the fact that some people are tall and others are short.
