When I started watching you when I was a child I only knew English but now I know French and I just started learning Portuguese. Thanks for all the memories and good times

I love how you noted that "The world is more available to me" when you learn new languages. You are excited about connecting to more people. Back in college, my Freshman Comp professor wrote this quote on the board:

The limits of our language are the limits of our world. - Wittgenstein

This quote really made a difference in my life. It made learning languages to be so purposeful.

Hi, fellow polyglot here, my friends and I have followed you for a while and it's just dawning on me that it's been like 10 years 😿 Glad to see your passion still burning 😊

Learning languages makes me happy, as does meditating, journaling, traveling, reading, and learning in general. Even though I'm at a rough point in life, these things make me feel better. Love you, Jo!!

A goal without a plan is just a wish ❤💯

Can we take a minute to appreciate the beauty of the cinematography of these videos

[CookieFridays]

You know what.... I just watched this video because it's you; because I've been learning Spanish since I was in high school and I'm gonna be 34 this year and I'm still not where I want to be with the language. But you kind of just made me think that I'm probably learning too passively. The idea of repetition and really going hard to drive home what you're learning - that is very good advice. A lot of us have the problem of only being able to understand and not speak the language, and that is for lack of hammering home the grammar and the "essentials/basics" and also simply practicing speaking

[mellotrie]

I mostly use Duolingo to learn French due to my busy schedule. I'm listening to French radio while working to get used to the accents and I has hyped that I could almost understand the language. It proves that applying language learning in daily life, (like listening to radio lol), is crucial.

You just dropped the entire goldmine. Thank you for this!

[indiahawkins]

So glad to see you. And I appreciate this video and the free language learning sign up

[justtiffany]

Hi I’m from Belgium so I speak flemish. You are doing a great job in our language 💪 I’m trying to learn Korean and I’m definitely gonna use your tips. 감사합니다 (thank you)

[outinnaturee]

I have watched videos of people explaining how to study languages and this is by far the most detailed and helpful. Thanks. Am learning Chinese, 你好

[kevdiat]

Aren't you terrified that one language will override the other. I had a brain fart in my Japanese tutoring and started spotting out French for some reason.

*I COULDN'T FIND YOUR CHANNELS! I'M SO SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND YOU AGAIN!!! OMGOSHHH!*

[amayaperry]

There’s a few languages I want to learn and with time the list will likely grow… I took French from middle school to my sophomore year of high school but was never great at listening and speaking. I considered learning Spanish bc it’s the 2nd most spoken language in the US but somehow i fell in love with Korean. I sometimes get criticized for choosing Korean before learning Spanish (which is also on my list) but then i realize that if i follow what everyone else is saying instead of what i want-I’ll learn nothing. Never fully committing to any new language. Plus you never know where life may take you. I might need Korean someday. This video came at a perfect time.
Thanks

[JenniferKennedy]

You've inspired me!! I used to love learning languages when I was in college. I at one point was fluent in Spanish but haven't used it in such a long time. I'm feeling motivated to get back fluent in Spanish AND learn Italian for an upcoming trip to Italy! Thanks.

[najmaelmi]

This video came at such a perfect time. I've been in the Middle East for a month now learning Arabic and hit that mental block you described, convincing myself this language is just too hard to master. Needed to remind myself that it's a long but beautiful journey ahead that could take me years or decades, but language learning will always be worth it in the end. Shukran ya habibti Jo!

[raiysanafiys]

Thank you for making me feel so seen! My mother introduced me to Spanish and French when I was a child. I ditched the French early and devoted myself to Spanish. I added American Sign Language to my list in high school and Chinese to my life in my early 20's. I stopped nurturing them in my late 20's. In my 30's, they spinning the block on me! You have inspired me to document my journey and to understand the gift I truly have.🥰 This is my first time on your channel and I look forward to more of your content.

[cordeliam]

Omg I cannot BELIEVE IT, just bumped into your channel and it’s been ages since I last saw a video of yours, so happy!!!!
