I so wish that I found this more than a week before my exam, such a cool video

I actually stumbled upon your channel finding a notion template for my language learning! This is by far the most useful video I've found for learning French and I've gone through many because just like you I studied French in school but went out of practice so while I can do the basics pretty well, I had no idea how I could improve on my fluency! Very informative and I love how your video feels like I'm just talking to a friend!

Thank you for the video ! I'm currently struggling with A Level History and this helped me a lot `⎚⩊⎚´ -✧

Hey Flavia Nice video once again. Have you ever tried or heard of Assimil method? The Assimil method is a unique approach to language learning that emphasizes gradual and intuitive acquisition, much like how we naturally learned our first language. It focuses on exposure to authentic dialogues and texts, allowing learners to absorb the language organically. (Rosetta had a similar approach I guess but in a programmtic way on the computer screen). The Assimil method also makes use of parallel texts, presenting the material in both the target language and your native language side-by-side. This helps to facilitate understanding and build vocabulary without constantly needing a dictionary. Idioms and special expressions are explained separately, often with pronunciation guides in parentheses to help you master the spoken language. I personally used the Assimil books alongside other resources when I was learning French and (still am learning) Spanish, and I found them to be a valuable addition to my language learning journey.

Hey Flavia, I wanted to wish you the best of luck on your journey to learn German! I know it can be a really challenging language to master, especially with its complex grammar. Even the American author Mark Twain once joked that life is too short to learn German - and he spoke it quite well himself, having spent time in Berlin and other parts of Germany long before we had the digital tools we do today! It's definitely a challenge, but it's absolutely possible. English actually shares a lot of commonalities or "cognates" with German thanks to their shared Anglo-Saxon Germanic roots. As someone who also speaks Dutch and a bit of Low German, I see those connections even more clearly - but that's a whole other topic! To me studying a languag is kind of like preparing for some sports There are so many great reasons to learn a language. I also speak French, and it's been incredibly helpful when traveling. Who knows, maybe we'll even run into each other in Germany someday! Have fun and keep up the great work. I've subscribed to your channel and look forward to following your progress. All the best, Marc PS. Learning a language is a bit like preparing for a sports competition - you have to put in the daily training and practice until it all pays off. But it's incredibly rewarding when it does! Herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland! (Warm greetings from Germany!)

I love the video and adore your language plan, keep doing more videos about languages. I enjoyed so much ❤😊❤

Have you learned Irish already?

Hello , Flavia . Congratulations on the passing DALF . Could you tell us the themes that you had on Production Ecrite and Production Orale parts on the day of the exam ?

Where are u from? Ur accent is so pretty as you ❤😊

Did someone here try to learn Kabyle? ( A Berber language spoken in Algeria as an official language alongside Arabic)

I speak nine languages (romance and germanic) and for me the hardest ones I encountered on my path are Swedish, plus Russian (my first slavic one) and, exceptionally, Mandarin. Just for knowledge sake. If I read a Wikipedia article I can understand quite a lot of Swedish and I can get the gist of most sentences in Russian. About Mandarin I got familiarized with all the syllables in pinyin and I can read the language easily saying the tones correctly (no matter if I don't understand anything) plus now I know all the radicals by shape, meaning and pronunciation. Even I can spot each one of them in a compound character. I'll go on with the three of them but after so many languages learned previously I'm taking these three ones as the last ones to put a real effort on.

Try sudanese dialect

Spenny , i love the uk slang fit into this . I hope some foreigners see this and pick it up

Trust me, if only we could a lot of italians won't learn English at all too :D

Agreed on Japanese and other super complicated languages. Learning it for 2000 hours and then struggling to read a novel or watch native content? No, sorry. It's not worth the effort, especially for someone like me who lives in Europe. I can probably learn 3 European languages to C1 with the same amount of hours it'll take me to reach some kind of proficiency in Japanese but I'll actually have a real use and profit out of it.

Definitely understand what you mean for Korean 😂😂😂 I have been learning it since 2015, and I am now mid intermediate. So hard.

As an Arabic and Turkish speaker I can tell you that : if you learn Arabic Turkish will be easy to you and you don’t have to learn any dialect (fusha)is enough trust me. even if I wish if you learn Syrian dialect😅

Lol knowing Spanish is really like a cheat code when learning - let's say - French. You can in most cases just do word by word translations in your head. I myself am a German native speaker and I can most certainly not do that, but I have B2 in French though. I'd definitely love to improve it, imma have a look at Lingvist, great inspiring videos!!

Is it correct to say "i will not be learning" and "i will not learn"?

What about Croatian? I'm trying to learn it for years and make zero progress lol

I have been learning German for a few months now. I go with Nicos weg as well but I couldn't succeed the way I wished actually.. Now I am planning to use the tips you told about so thank you so much for bringing my urge for studying german again😁💕

I feel the same way about the Arabic language I think that hindi is an interesting and cool language

If you are not interested in the culture, it is okey not to learn the language. But the fact that it is hard shouldn't bother anyone. Good resources and textbooks help a lot. I agree that without necessary resources it is too tiring to learn kanji for example. I don't want to learn italian or any other more european language such as portugese, dutch, romanian etc. just beccause they are easier to me than asian languages. I would choose to learn chinese instead of 4 more less spoken european languages.

Italian is the most beautiful one of the romance languages. You are missing a lot. I recommend everybody to learn Italian. Even lingua franca should have been italian instead of english. Sooo beautiful.

I agree with what you said about chinese! I studied it for about two years and only reached HSK3 (B1) level, which felt like minimal progress considering the immense time and effort it took.🙃🙃 eventually, I decided to stop and i'm trying to learn french now I'm also planning to take spanish lessons at uni (which is next year you're not allowed to take language lessons at the first year) so I'll have the opportunity to become proficient in more than one language!😆😆

Wow, I'm learning French too.

Arabic.😂

If you want to learn a language just learn Swedish, it's so easy that I learned in 3 weeks and it's proven to be one of the easiest for English speakers. The level of difficulty is 3.4

10:36 And Catalan is, like Basque, another reason to prefer Carlismo over Franquismo, since Dios, Patria, Fueros, Rey would not have involved banning languages other than Castilian (pretty as that one is too).

An interest I had in Dutch: Tanith Lee, The Dragon Hoard - found in Amsterdam in Dutch translation. T. W. Rolleston, Celtic Myths and Legends - found in Amsterdam in Dutch translation I fortunately also found Nederlandsch Zweedsch Woordenboek in Amsterdam, or the other two would not have been much use to me.

انا عربي و اتفق معك ان تعدد اللهجات هو العائق الذي يجعل الناس لا تستطيع تعلم العربية ، لو كنت مكانك لتعلمت اللغة العربية الفصحى . صحيح لن تفهمي الناس ولكن على الاقل يمكنكي سماع وقراءة الاخبار و التكلم مع الناس بالفصحى

Try learning Serbian. see how you do. perhaps make a video... "Hajde da vidimo ako možeš da učiš na Srpskom" I am new to your channel

Hi ethnic Chinese to my father and my father’s family and I grew Listening to people speaking various Chinese languages (no, they’re not dialect) For this reason, I had the phone in the pronunciation in my ear in my mind and on my tongue, so it was very easy for me to learn them to a certain degree However, for people who Do not have the benefit of listening to these language in their formative years I can feel for them. It’s not easy. I grew up in an English language bubble in the United States Surprisingly, with the number of Korean immigrants living and working nearby me I hear Korean spoken quite a bit

Mongolian, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Albanian, etc.

I think I will never learn slavic languages except for Russian. They are too difficult! I prefer learning Greenlandic!!

Since learning a language takes a lot of time, you have to have valid reasons to learn it. You don't have to apologize if you don't want to learn a language. Right now the only reason I'd want to improve my Russian would be to do an Udemy course in that language. I'm not interested in moving to a country where Russian is spoken or marrying a woman from one of those countries.

I agree with you so hard about the mixing up languages part-that's why I'm scared to learn portugese as someone who just learned spanish! lol

I find that learning languages, especially the harder ones, actually helps me improve my grades in medical school. Prior to my language learning journey I was admittedly flaunting every possible subject but when i decided one day to pick up german I noticed that my memory was getting better and I could take in large chunks of information like never before. So if you're planning on studying medicine or law or some other impossibly hard discipline..learn a hard language lol

Kaixo Flavia, soy de Austria, no vecinos vascos, but native German speaker. A few years ago when I retired I decided to learn Basque. After some years of Chinese I thought it would be easier, not really. BUT, its a fascinting journey, the differencies will give you a lot of insight in your own language, too. If I got you right from your video, you are Spanish. Its the language that has the most teaching material for Basque. So for one it is an advantage, on the other hand you have to get deep enough into Basque, you have to shake of the Western Grammatic coat, and see how the Basques see their language themselves. I dare to prophecy, sometime in the furure you will regret not to have tried it. your brain is mucher younger than mine (72), so the learning should be much easier for you, but being younger you also shy away from it with poor excuses, instead of taking the energy to do it. Beside Spanish and French words there are also Latin and Arabic words in Basque, plus a rich history not always pleasant around them. And a pre Chrstian mythology. And words like otsail which means February , which comes from otso wolf, mating season in February. or asoka market comes from soukkh in Arabic ... buen viaje!

i totaly get ur german - dutch resoning, however what iv noticed is the sound diffrences are well enough (siriously) that u most likly wont mix em up, however if u realy wish to keep then seperate, learn dutch after u hav a german base built up. itll help with ur dutch

japanese is overwhelmingly hard. ive spent probably hundreds of hours learning it and yet I don't feel like ive made much meaningful progress

Basque would be cool to learn, probably one of the hardest and simultaneously most useless languages to learn. I really hope the revitalisation efforts bear fruit and keep the language alive because it is a wholly unique one and deserves study. If you like the idea of non-IE languages spoken in Europe then maybe look into Finnish/Estonian/Hungarian. I'm currently trying to learn Finnish and it's a cool language, beautiful too! Latvian is also an interesting one as it's a bit of a hybrid between the old Baltic languages and Finno-Ugric so it really sounds like nothing else. Latvian and Lithuanian are the only remaining bastions of the Baltic tongue so they are both very unique. A bit like the Celtic languages in that regard. Speaking of which, it would be so awesome to be able to speak Irish. Probably one of my favourite languages but damn is it hard to learn, and pronounce. It's one of those that just oozes with mystery and old tales of fairies and magic. I once did a fantasy short movie and all the spells were in Irish. We probably butchered the pronounciation but even speaking those words gave me a feeling of connection with the ancient past, almost like a religious epiphany. One day, if I can ever master Finnish, I'll give Irish another go. I also want to give a shoutout to Greenlandic because nobody seems to even know it's a thing. Definitely an oddball and extremely difficult to learn. Heavily agglutanive, forming very long words with complicated grammar and very strange sounds. Probably one of the hardest languages on the planet to learn.

I'm beginning with Chinese

me picó la ceja cuando escuché vasco y no euskera JAJAJAJJ Ahora se habla muchísimo más entre los más jóvenes pq es mucho más obligatorio y para conseguir trabajo en el gobierno y estudiar es lo peor skkf

i'd never learn japanese, Russian, dutch, finnish and hindi. totally agree with the japanese part you said

I encourage you to learn Brazilian Portuguese. Even at a basic level. We love when foreigners try to speak our language.

im japanese and i think learing japanese sucks. i wouldnt learn this if im not japanese. takes you so much time to be able to speak.

Thanks to speak good about catalan. I can help with spanish and catalan too. És una llengua nolt bonica

As someone who learned Basque since she was a child, I can confirm it’s a very difficult language to learn, and not so useful since the population here is not that big. I haven’t spoken basque since I ended school and now I have a huge trouble speaking it, I can understand it and read perfectly though😅
