What are you doing to create your own language learning world?

[Malik_Sylvus]

This woman is gifted and very intelligent, she was able to find the right method to learn alone and quickly, she is a very good example for young people who do not want to waste their time on futility.

[Sinan]

As a Turk, I am completely proud of her hard work. She encouraged me to learn English way more. Im gonna keep running toward my goals until Im successful. My biggest dream is to become a plane hostess on Turkish Airlines.

When we are talking about America. A person who knows three and more languages is very educated person. A person who knows just two languages is an immigrant. And a person who knows only one language is 100% American.

[kensmaman]

Her accent is so natural in each language that she almost sounds like a different person when she switches languages. Very impressive !

[hz]

Je suis français et je peux vous dire qu’elle parle français comme une native. C’est juste incroyable

[hellyripphin]

My goodness. An old soul in a young body. Such maturity and self knowledge.

[Efetrefe]

İşte gerçek Türk kızı helal olsun iclal 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[sheqthetube]

You are such a brilliant Turkish girl, iclal. We are proud of you 👏 👏 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷

[gandolfthorstefn]

This woman is incredible. She never missed a bit through the languages and transitions. Anhygoel!

[Chris-wxmr]

Some comments are just jealous of her bcs she may be younger than you but already speaks 7 languages. Wouldn’t be better if you take it as an inspiration? Like I am 22 and I only speak 3 languages, but this girl inspires me instead of discouraging me. Stop being jealous 🤷🏻‍♂️

[yaminaboub-jolb]

You guys are not just fluent in languages, you guys are very cultured and knowledgeable about various topics and you have very strong communication and speaking skills .

[BryanAJParry]

Look at Steve's look of pure joy and happiness to see a young polyglot, a kindred spirit. So wholesome all round! ❤

[MC-uwrq]

Some years ago, I met an 11-year old Yemeni girl who lived in a mountain village. She could also speak 7 languages fluently: Arabic, English, French, Spanish, Italian, German and Japanese. She said she had learned them through interacting with tourists. I was amazed, but she told me other children in her village were like her, too!

[LanguageSimp]

When are you going to learn Ancient Albanian Sign language?

[hajiradenahmadshauki]

I think the Turkiye government would do well if she could be hired in the Turkiye diplomatic service. She is a credit to all Turkiye. May she have a wonderful life ahead.

[mutluumutlu]

She is a really really hardworking girl and I am proud of her as a Turk. All of her success is the result of her effort. Not about istanbul, not about Turkiye. Just the benefits of technology and her studious character. No pain no gain. She is very diligent. Go Iclal go, crash’em all 😂

[e-genieclimatique]

in brief:
The video is an interview with Iclal, a young polyglot from Turkey, who speaks a wide variety of languages remarkably well and has learned them all at home.
She discusses her perspective on grammar and shares her experience learning different languages such as Russian and German.
Iclal emphasizes the importance of finding a balance between grammar and other language skills.

Iclal shares that Turkey is a multicultural country with a lot of tourists, providing an opportunity to practice different languages with native speakers.
However, she believes that language learners should wait until they reach an A2 or B1 level before having meaningful exchanges with native speakers.
To reach that level, she recommends focusing on learning the basics and building a foundation in the language.

Iclal uses the internet to find conversation partners and prefers platforms like Tandem, HelloTalk, and Conversation Exchange.
She believes that people can learn languages effectively without visiting other countries, as long as they have a strong determination and take advantage of available resources.

У вас прекрасное русское произношение! Я много лет учу английский и французский, но не добилась такого естественного произношения, как у вас во всех языках. Вы огромная молодец!❤

[FlightBoyKizer]

The most amazing part about it is acquiring and retaining all of the vocabulary to speak at a fluent level
