Ooooo. How fun! I would love to learn a language in an actual school instead of the internet. I'm considering saving up to attend Middlebury's immersion program!! 🫶🩷✨

That's what I was looking for.

Helo! Fi oedd ar y delyn yn 3:55! Just isho eich llongyfarch ar eich Cymraeg arbennig! Diolch i chi am helpu i gadw’r iaith yn fyw ❤ Gobeithio mwynheuoch chi’r Eisteddfod!

Will you come back to youtube? Love your videos

Always love a bookshop tour! Just be glad the background wasn't stars and stripes lol. We non-England English speakers outnumber you'all like 20 to 1 ;)

Es heißt „welche deutschen Ausdrücke“ nicht „welche deutsche Ausdrücke“.

Great video! Apparently, Demel quietly changed its recipe a couple of years ago to add another layer of apricot jam in the middle. I guess a lot of people felt the way you did about the two versions. 😊

I bought the book and the back cover states that audio files for the stories are available at the teach yourself website. Does anyone know where they are lurking? It would be very helpful to hear the words spoken as I am learning them.

I've seen some of the content for this course and I can't help but think that he booted up ChatGPT and asked it for a bunch of stories and explanations. Feels kinda cheap for the steep price tag so I'd just stick with his books then get a tutor from iTalki.

Good video!

I know it's a lot to ask for (especially after 5 years have passed) but it would be incredibly helpful to have subtitles here. Pello is not known for his light-paced manner of speaking and Euskara can be overwhelming on its own, but I know for a fact that he has a lot of interesting things to say:) By the way, his band Zetak has recently released a new album inspired by wider Basque culture. It's really worth checking out

Lydia, you make it sound so easy. I have been trying to learn Polish all my life. I finally found a book (I am 71), but it seemed too hard. I found the book again and am committed, but it is still very hard. I am not young like you anymore.

Minha prioridade é aprender inglês. Adorei o vídeo ❤

The best method of learning a language must be a three part road for me. Find great music in the target language and listen to it, sing along to the songs translate the lyrics and try to understand the metaphors used or the saying. The repetition is really great. Then find good podcasts and documentaries about cool topics it can come from any of the songs or any interests of your own. Then get to start reading and talking/writing. Talk to yourself as if you have a friend or a celebrity over for a stay. This is after the A1 and A2 levels. Working methodological with things that you love is always great. Then forget about what level you are at. There will come a time when you get "Sprachgefül" so to speak. Lower the expectations and keep going. I am learning German and I found Herbert Grönemeyer and I love his music. He has taken me to documentaries about Ruhrgebiet, Currywurst, Uwe Barschel scandal, Neue Deutsche Welle music and U-boats. Now I'm eager to knit his pullover from Das Boot.

Road signs in Gaelic aren't going to do much for the language. I see them all over the Connemara Gaeltacht in Ireland and the number of native Irish speakers is down to 23,000....

You should do online zoom classes for children

I have a trip to London in November and I appreciate you showing us this area! Putting it on my list.

watching your vlogs as I am considering coming to the Polyglot Gathering in 2024. Seems like so much fun!

Ditto!! I'm re-learning Hungarian and I'm going to Budapest. I've also been to Hungary twice - 1991 and 1999.

I approve this message!

Loving the dinosaur!

Hi Gareth! I feel better for adding in Italian now, to my Chinese and French. Italian is beginning. And the same reason, we are planning a trip there.

Magyarként mondhatom, hogy sok sikert kivánok önnek a magyar nyelv tanulásában. PS.: Ha tényleg megtanulja a magyar nyelv kiejtését (de nagyon pontosan), mindekit le fog nyűgözni.

The wait is over. Good choice!

Nice! Will you do the four-day course before the Conference? See you in the Country That Shall Not Be Named. 😄

Biba! Hori bai hizkuntza deigarria :) Ekin!

hmmmmmmmmm see you in [country redacted] soon I suppose ;)

I use traditional paper flash-cards for phrases and chunks. I use the free versions of Brainscape and/or AnkiApp to build vocabulary.

Great content thank you 👍

The Wild West saloon music is drowning out your voice and, living as I do in Oakland, making me nervous a shoot-out might start any minute.

How's my language learning going? I'd say it's on tick-over at best! Really a bit too passive and not enough of it. It currently consists of 10-15 minutes of Duolingo first thing in the morning and then very passivly hearing live streamed Portuguese TV whislt I make my KZbin thumbnails 6 days a week. I'm getting quick at those so that's only ten minutes a day... I'm hoping to get back to a class becasue it forces me to priorise it. I struggle to do this with so many other things that need to be done every day...

Do I like structured courses? Theoretically, yes - in practice I'm way more chaotic! Do I like paper flash cards? Yes... though I find the apps quicker, easier and more convenient, especially on public transport and that sort of thing. I gather next years Eisteddfod is not a million miles from where I'm located so I might bump into you!

Always appreciate your honest approach that doesn't sugarcoat the fact that successful language learning requires long-term commitment! By the way, I stayed in an Airbnb in Brixton before, and went out of my way every day to visit the Walled Garden... what an amazing place.

Very happy to see a new video of you my dear Dr Popkins ! I always liked your channel ! Congrats on being disciplined and consistent on your Japanese ! We truly share the same passion and I hope to see you in October in Budapest ! Did you lose your camera ? the quality looks as if it was shot in 360p and not 720... and we hear the wind a lot, I thought you had a mic with the fluffy thing... Anyway I just started MY OWN KZbin CHANNEL 1 month ago, I uploaded 6 videos so far of me speaking in Russian, German, Portuguese, Italian and Polish, now working on a Ukrainian video ! You are one of my biggest inspirations to start a KZbin channel on language learning and vlogging !

Wondered how you were getting on! Thanks for the update; glad to see you back.

привет, а ты русским занимаешься еще?

This was such an interesting video, thank you so much. I loved the reading excerpt (especially as I am an early intermediate (I think?) German learner) I am definitely getting this book and will take all your tips. Thank you once again.
