My first childhood friend was Polish and spending so much time with him and his family made the language such a nostagic and addictive hobby. It is also a challenging language and I like to challenge myself. I am at the point where I can read it well. I’m still very shy when it comes to speaking. But I think I am going to start a video channel like you have

Wow, I have motivation to learn English but if I see fantastic Russian woman who loves our Polish culture, I feel an honour to hear that all. I am big fan of "Lalka" ("The Doll"). This masterpiece in Polish is probably our best novel ever. But it's very hard to understand every nuances even for a contemporary Poles which Bolesław Prus included in that book.
Best wishes from Warsaw. I hope you'll fluent in Polish! :)

I was born in korea and when I was 2 I moved to the other side of the planet, South America. I speak korean at home because of my parents who can't speak other languages, so if I want to eat food, I had to speak korean. Then, I graduated high school and went to America where I finished my econ phd and when I was in Argentina, I went to l'alliance francaise for most of my secondary school. I also practiced kendo so I got some Japanese. I went to work to shanghai china where I got some beginning exposure to their language and also worked in Skolkovo Oblast west of Maskva. So my motivations are immense and planning to learn other languages like Italian, German, Arabic and Hebrew before I die because I understand the pleasure of learning a new language like how you describe in your video. Kudos!

Great video! I agree that the Polish language is beautiful and I believe its complexity adds to its charm. I'm glad though it's my native language, saved me all the work ;)
As to the foreign languages I learn, I do it mainly to be able to read literature and communicate with others.
Have a lovely day, Kate :)

I look forward to your videos. You are such an original new voice in the YouTube language learning community. I’ve always liked the Polish food we have here in Canada. And the handicrafts are so. beautiful. I don’t know much about the literature. I’d better fix that.

Fantastycznie, Kate! Pięknie mówisz po angielsku i po polsku.

I have just started learning Polish. I have plenty of experience in language learning, but I'm not sure I've ever tackled a language this difficult. The fact that I am unable to say a single sentence without memorising it word for word is tough. Every noun, as well as the pronouns and adjectives, has to be inflected. I am at a stage where I have some vocabulary and can think of the words I need to make a sentence, but it takes me half an hour to decline everything in my head!

Привет ! Я из Сербии и очень, очень люблю русский язык. Самый мелодичный, романтичный язык в мире. Тоже говорю сербский и английский, сейчас изучаю испанский. Я бы хотела научить французский потому что люблю французские фильмы и тоже ещё один славянский язык .
Твой канал 👍 Я тоже очень люблю книги и иностранные языки
