2:22 When she said "do you know how smart I am in Spanish?", I nearly cried...
I feel you.

At the end of the day, my friend from Syria was correct. He said you get a soul for every language you learn.

I have attempted (in school) Spanish and French, only picking up a minimal amount. Now as an older adult I tried to learn Korean (so I could understand the K-Dramas I was watching). I was having to relearn the same words over and over. Now, at almost 70, I am going to try my hand at Irish. No one to talk to. I just love their ancient culture and mythology. But I may revisit Korean again

I'm trilingual--English as mother tongue and then the serial study of Japanese and French. I just started German three months ago and have been doing something in all four languages every day. This video helps me confirm what I've been experiencing. What's most wonderful about language #4 is that my mind is so much more "at ease" with language acquisition.

wow, i wondered why writing out my feelings in spanish is different and almost made me feel a little detached from them, but now it makes perfect sense

I’m 63 and learning German. Really enjoying it. ❤

Has anyone else when using a third language and not knowing a word then switch to your second language to finish the thought/sentence rather than switching to first language? It happens all the time for me. I’d like to understand the science behind it. 🤔

I am from Ankara, Turkey, at age 18 I moved to the USA ( Portland, Oregon ) and learnt English..At age 27 I moved to China ( Shenzhen, Guangdong ) and I learnt Mandarin Chinese. Now at 46 I started studying Spanish online and next year I will be moving to Colombia to improve my Spanish.. I have to admit I am not certain that learning these two foreign languages has made that kind of a big difference in my brain in terms of exercising it like a muscle, but I know for a fact that it has changed my life in ways unimaginable and it has enriched my life beyond belief ...

After I learned English, I think differently, it’s magical, it’s like I have adopted another personality of mine, when I speak my native language Chinese, I always be introvert and socially anxious while I speak English I could be honest

The point about recognising different patterns and finding foreign concepts less alien than monolingual people is something I noticed about myself quite recently. I used to translate everything and would struggle when certain words don’t have a good translation or when a sentence structure was vastly different from my native languages. But over time I felt less of an urge to translate things and sort of became more “accepting” of strange concepts and sentence structure in other languages.

After learning Japanese learning Spanish feels like I'm cheating

Olly, this is one of your all time greatest videos. A member of my Spanish conversation group had a stroke last year and for several weeks could not communicate in English but could in Spanish.

I sh*t you not, that ninja segway gave pause to a ninja coffee maker advert and it couldn't have been more perfect 👌🤣

As a bilingual Spanish speaker I was able to learn enough Russian in 1 year to hold conversations with native speakers. Attending language meetups and practicing with apps like Tandem has proved invaluable. Bottom line: conversing with native speakers provides the context to help my brain retain the information I care about🧠🤓

Wooow the doing therapy in your second language to emotionally detach and think more logically is such a good idea!! I wonder how far you can take this though because I'm an "empath" for lack of a more scientific name, and that doesn't go away in Spanish or French. In fact if I'm angry, I feel like the words in Spanish can better fit what I want to say with more passion. I often break into Spanish swearing when I'm angry 🤣 it's very satisfying. 😂

One thing I would like to ad to the study method, is that you want to be moving after about 45 minutes of inactivity (standing while studying does help) and then for about 15 minutes get your heart pumping just a bit, like walk on some steps, just take a regular walk (preferably a bit faster than normal but any exercise is good exercise) this helps to create focus and helps you learn and remember/make memories better while also making you happy, cus it’s exercise!

Also another thing for your eyes is to look away after 30 minutes at something about 30 feet away (10 meters) for at least 30 seconds (closing your eyes also works).

Grammar + reading + listening + writing + speaking + thinking= learning successfully.

After round about three months of studying Spanish (because I have a true motive);
I have started mentally and subconsciously translating everything that I hear-- and comments under every YouTube video that I watch-- into my target language (German and French are also on the pipeline).

There is so much pure joy in learning languages.... especially the urge to converse with native speakers, on a daily basis (#1 for me).
