💌 about me: my name is Elysse, I'm 24 years old from the southern U.S. I've been learning languages for about 8 years, and I speak English (native), Spanish (C2), German (B2/C1), French (C1), Portuguese (B2), American Sign Language (advanced), and Turkish (A2). I'm interested in learning Hebrew, Chinese, Georgian, and maybe Náhuatl as well :)

i’m german and your pronunciation is SO GOOD, it’s insane. like you sound like a native 95% of the time whenever you say sth in german 🤩🤩

[reesejacobs]

so cool to listen to how your vocal placement changes between languages (noticed it most in the 8:06 clip), it's super natural but they are truly different voices with entirely different qualities 🤯

[Alyosha_]

As a native persian I laughed so hard when I heard you saying I just wanna eat your liver 😂😂😂😂

[RJ-kumh]

Learning German and Turkish simultaneously takes some serious mental horsepower, good on ya.

[hnurtanic]

Your turkish pronounciation is so good girl you got this

[ozancandemirsk]

We have saying in Turkish, "ciğerim", "my liver", which you can use for people you love 😀 But it's a bit old fashioned and more or less rural.

[achb]

deepl is genuinely so good for translating!

[Speechbound]

Wow, juggling three languages is no small feat! I love how you dive into the quirks of Turkish and your passion for learning shines through.

[gganbp]

As a brazilian its always wonderful to hear you speaking portuguese, the accent is perfect

[ThuyKieuTuyetXuan]

What’s personally worked the best for me as a language learner is Immersive Translate. I use it to generate subtitles to my shows and movies on Netflix every day. That’s how I’ve been immersing myself in my target language, which is Vietnamese. I’ve already learned a lot so far, which is really great.

your portuguese is so good 😭😭 you're doing great!

[jck]

I love how I can almost understand everything you say in German
It’s taken me a while to get hear but I’m getting better 💪

[astragalusson]

By the way I'm sure I've heard "eat" used in English many times to express love, affection or admiration of beauty or personality, mostly indirectly as something like "I can eat him/her up" in English spoken media.

[ozancandemirsk]

By the way, we can't say "olduğunu dedi". "Söylemek" is used for that type of phrases. Dedi is like "said" in the sense of dialogue in the books, or "öyle dedi, şöyle dedi" vs. I know, this kind of nuances are hard, but with exposure to the language it will get easier 😀

[Sonya]

The hair-related words you're looking for are "Spliss" and "Spitzen schneiden".

[yelllow]

as a person who watches so many turkish series, girl your pronunciation is like a native person easlclksdakll

[Engapfsl]

"O calor que está fazendo LÁ FORA agora."

[leticiagoliczevskimedeiros]

Será que esse vídeo é um sinal pra eu voltar com os meus estudos de alemão? hauahuh
Ótimo vídeo Elysse, acho muito legal acompanhar a tua rotina

[Gabtalkss]

She watches german videos to practice her german. I watch her to practice my english😂. Thanks for help us💖

[denizaktug]

I am a native Turkish speaker and what you said is absolutely true. "To eat someone", like "yerim seni!" is such a common way of showing affection. However, be cariful. It is only used in close relationships, mostly within family, or towards babies. It would be wierd to use towards a friend unless you are sooo close. And, yeah, reported speach is so hard.
2:40 "Fazla lezetli olduğunu söyledi" olmalıydı. Nedenini açıklayamam. Ama genellikle "dedi" fiilini doğrudan alıntılamada, söyledi fiilini ise dolaylı anlatımda kullanırız. 😊
