From my experience of learning English as a foreign learner, I highly recommend exposing yourself to the language through movies and any other audio-visual content, this helped me get used to the pattern of that language and gave me a huge advantage among other learners who were learning English in a straight forward and boring method.

I speak English and Arabic fluently and I’ve been learning French for few months now and it’s actually fun ! I’m only 18 and I don’t plan to ever stop learning languages because it’s one of my favorite things to do ! You inspire me a lot and I loved this video 🥰

The fastest I have ever learned a language was when I was 5. Me and my family moved to poland and after 2 months I was speaking fluently Polish.

I haven’t made the full commitment to learning a new language yet. However, I’ve found that listening to music in a specific language helps a lot. Not only do you get to hear the language in an enjoyable way, but you also find yourself singing along with the song which helps with pronunciation and accent. I love spanish music and I’ve learned tons of spanish words and phrases from just listening to songs. Whenever someone speaks to me in spanish, most of the time I only understand only a few words a sentence. But it’s usually enough for me to figure out what they’re trying to say by using context clues.

Totally agree with you with the fact that learning a language really well does not take 2 weeks! Finally someone says it. :) Even as a philologist you will always have new things to learn and to improve. So language learning process is something that never ends if you want to speak well. If you stop practicing, you will forget a lot of vocabulary.

"Real progress takes time"!
Totally true ✨
Just like going to the gym to get in shape.

I agree with you: we just don't always have to reach an advanced level in all languages. Level B1 is more than enough for our fifth or sixth language. When it comes to polyglots, people always expect C2 level in all spoken languages ​​and it is quite unreachable! 😆

I've been learning languages since I was a teenager and it's been such a rewarding journey. I learn English, German, Italian and Turkish and, like the speaker, I'm not a language genius, just someone who has found effective methods. It's refreshing to hear honest advice about language learning.

Quick-fix promises can be tempting, but real progress takes time and effort. I've found that consistent time every day, even if it's just 15 minutes, really pays off. The speaker's walking technique is brilliant! I've used similar methods and they've helped me improve my listening and speaking skills so much.

Connecting with native speakers, whether online or in person, has also been invaluable. Making mistakes can feel embarrassing, but they're part of the learning process. It has actually helped me improve more quickly. Overall, this video is full of practical tips and encouragement, and I can't wait to incorporate some of these ideas into my own language learning routine!

Fun fact: Writing by hand is more effective than typing when you want to commit something to memory! In short, the motor component (actually forming the letters with the movements of your fingers & wrist) will help your brain build associations. It especially helps with languages that have foreign letters or entirely different writing systems. Other motor excercises - like walking while listening - will also help, compared to studying with no motor component at all.

(But honestly - if typing feels more convenient, there's no need to bother with writing longhand. It's way more important to find the system that works for YOU than to minmax based on a statistic.)

I love languages. They are certainly my fav thing to do. I currently, at the age of 14, speak Spanish (my native language), English (learned it since i was 2), sindhi(my father taught me) and hindi (my father taught me too) fluently.

I have a B2 of french (and a DELF certificate that proves it), I have done the HSK4 of mandarin, which is a B2 aswell. I am learning German in school, I currently have a B1 level. Im studying Italian on my own, i now have an A2.

My love for languages started when i was 6 and thanks to my dad i could speak 4 languages fluently. My father died when i was 8 and to stop the sadness i started learning chinese and french.

Languages completely changed my life. Really, if you want to learn a language, go for it!

For the talking tip, you can also talk at your pets or with friends who don't even really know the language when you're starting. It helps to get comfortable with talking in the language and get rid of that starting anxiety. Then move onto talking with strangers in your target language.

Regarding typing, I think this depends on what type of learner you are. For me, writing down the lecture at university helped me quite a bit in committing the material to memory while for others this distracted them from listening. Same is true for me with learning languages.
