¡Qué increíble el vídeo Olly! Thanks so much for chatting with me.

[davidbarryjr.]

The assumption that living abroad always aids language learning is incorrect, I lived in the Netherlands for a year and wasn't motivated enough to learn Dutch so naturally I gravitated towards the international community there, isolating myself from experiences to learn Dutch with Native speakers.

[ShaneGodliman]

I was wondering if Nate would be one of these videos! Love how much passion he has for languages and how much fun he has with it

[languagelearningdabbler]

I’m enjoying these videos so much. It’s fascinating to hear everyone’s language learning journey. 🤓

[tjohnson]

So glad I found your channel. It's really motivated to continue with my Spanish. I'm ten months in in for the first 5 months i almost quit 6 times because I wasn't understanding people. Then around 6 months one day i was watching a video on a YouTube channel called Hola Spanish with una profesora de Argentina que enseña español. And I just suddenly understood 98% of what she was saying, i don't know, it just clicked out of nowhere! I also purchased your short stories in Spanish book. Quiet entertaining and helpful! Thank you Olly

[chadbailey]

Another banger episode Olly! I’m tearing through you channel today haha! Thanks for the awesome content and motivation on my own language journey 👍🏾

[lucystephanieproperties]

Oh my, it really takes a while to learn. Haha. But I just wanna learn because it's something new to do and another way to expand my knowledge. 😁

[EricLovrien]

Me encanta este video y Nate! Muchas gracias!

[Tehui]

Hunger, hunger, hunger. When you hear him talk about his language journey it just oozes out of him.

[ofgodzeus]

I agree on that point you made, about not having to live abroad where your target language is spoken in order to learn it, because I reached a very high level of English, here at home, in Algeria, before I even learned what A1 A2 B1 levels are XD

I love these real stories Olly. it is so true. As a young Australian going on a working holiday I thought I would learn German when I got to Europe. I did buy a book, and thought reading it along with some effort would be enough. I learnt a little at work and then did an intensive German course for 2 months and worked every night in German. I was far from fluent though. I realise now that I was just beginning to get to where I would have really had to put in the hard work. Years later, I didn't even try to prepare my children before we moved to Switzerland even though I had previously struggled myself !?! 😮 I just assumed they would learn German in school, kids are supposed to be sponges I had been told. That was not fair in hindsight. I was kind enough 😉 to help them learn some French before we spent some time camping there as I've since gone through the struggles of really learning languages myself and I know how dedicated most people need to be to learn a foreign language.

[MrDaniloGoncalves]

I’ve learned English and Spanish (intermediate) without leaving Brazil

[udlu]

Two school years to get to a good level at a foreign language is relatively fast in my opinion. In Germany, I had English class for seven years and after that you were supposed to be at B2.

[zackf]

Great story! Wish I would have done this 30 years ago in western Kansas.

[bikram]

Estoy 21. Aprendiendo español ❤️ I'm not fluent but trying my best. I'm learning it since 5 months

[leeantony]

My Spanish language learning story is similar. Except it was more than 30 years ago, before the internet and modern resources. My father would give me $5 per day for lunch in Nevada. Instead of using the money for food, I saved it and bought a FSI (Foreign Service Institute) Spanish language course. I'd learn concept, then go to school and practice it with native speakers. For example, if I was studying the present subjunctive at home, I'd create as many opportunities to use that tense as possible until it was cemented in my head and came naturally. I was fluent by the time I was 17 years old. I realized that I had trouble understanding Caribbean Spanish speakers, so I started watching the Cristina Show. She was a Cuban talk show host based in Miami. At 18 or 19, I moved to Puerto Rico and then to Cuba. Many years later, I used the same method to teach myself Portuguese then moved to Brazil for 7 years.

[jeanthomas]

I love these types of videos from you! Thanks :)

[josefabry]

Soy chileno y estoy viendo videos de como aprender español 😂

[beedle]

For me if the convo is dying out for some reason i always have back up jokes to either break the ice or keep it going.

[danielsalloum]

Yes very interesting. Sounds like a familiar breakdown.
Any information around about how you mitigated the dizziness?
