Easy. The best language to learn is the one you want to learn. Reasons, culture, travel, connecting to your heritage. Connecting to native speakers that you work with. Engage your brain. For learning sake. For fun. An educational requirement. You can do 15 minutes a day. You could do an hour. Any language to any level. Start most any language for free. Just do it.

Lived in China and Japan 20 years and learnt both languages. Can you PLEASE do a session on how EASY Mandarin grammar is because the writing scares people off. There's only 4 tones which people say are a hassle. But honestly speaking, Mandarin was a walk in the park compared to the mental gymnastics you have to do with Japanese. I do however LOVE the Japanese language so much.

[@noseboop4354]

I'm pretty tone deaf, tried to learn Mandarin but sadly never got beyond basic tourist level. Also terrible at karaoke for the same reason.

[@峯芽苗]

I’ve spoken it since I was a child and I’ve noticed that people who regurgitate this opinion almost never speak natural sounding Chinese. I’d agree that it’s harder to be technically wrong in a textbook sense but it’s just as easy as any other language to sound wrong to natives used to the way natives say things. Maybe you’re an exception idk but it seems to me that this mindset leads a lot of people to neglect learning the way people actually say things and pat themselves on the back while sounding strange because it isn’t technically wrong grammatically. I get the intention of not wanting to scare people off of the language but I think this talking point being popularized does at least as much damage to learners as it does good.

[@nhelv808]

@@峯芽苗 Yeah, while the grammar and tones aren't too hard, there is definitely this "certain" alien feeling when speaking the language. It may be easy to get only the tones, but combining them with the correct pronunciation AND the natural way of speaking, to achieve the flow of the native speakers is VERY hard. It's probably the biggest problem, alongside the endless proverbs and cultural contexts/references. Not to mention how fast your confidence will dissipate after getting into a taxi and trying to talk with the driver 😆.

I actually might listen to you and start learning Romanian AGAIN. 😅 I used to study Romanian at university and since I'm a Bulgarian I can confirm there are a lot of Slavic words in Romanian. It's definitely so interesting and original. You could feel the Roman/Latin vibe, the Slavic influence and some Romanian vibe that doesn't resemble anything else at once. In my opinion the grammar isn't too difficult but of course there are some specific grammar rules that don't exist in the other Roman languages. I spent about 3-4 years learning it at university and I stopped learning it about 2 years ago. After I graduated I focused on my Greek and Turkish but in fact I had a goal to come back to Romanian before the end of this year. I don't know if I'll do it this month or in January but I guess it's time for me to reconnect with Romanian. 🇷🇴

Reading these comments, it's really nice hearing about all the different languages people are learning. It's honestly refreshing compared to other places where I've seen people "compete" over which languages are "better" and of course just racism in general. Language learning is a beautiful thing no matter which one it is!

[@coco_1002]

Yes, it´s so refreshing to see so many people connect via learning new languages. It´s such a beatiful experience! As you said, there are unfortunately places where many people seem to have a different opinion on that. I once even found a short video that asked people to comment which language they consider useless...There was literally a war going on in the comment section of people putting down other people´s languages, while considering the political status (and whatelse...) of the given language. It was honestly so disgusting to witness that. Each language has importance, as it contains undispensable elements of the country´s history and culture. There is so much more to it! Language is supposed to unite people but certain individuals tend to forget about how much of a treasure a language really is.

[@coco_1002]

@hi_iamiau Honestly, just do what you feel is right. If your family is against you learning a certain language, then it´s actually their problem, not yours. There is nothing wrong about learning a new language and getting to know another culture. Stay truthful to yourself and your interests. Don´t back away from it, only because someone disapproves of your choice. Learning a new language is such a beautiful thing to do. I can only recommened to go for it :)

[@coco_1002]

​@hi_iamiau I´m sorry for making you emotional! That certainly wasn´t my intention 😅 I know, it can be hard sometimes with one´s family, but life is simply too short to let it drag you down. Follow your passion, do what you love to do and I´m sure one day it will pay off. By the way, what language do you want to learn?

[@coco_1002]

@hi_iamiau Norwegian is such a cool language! I actually also want to learn it, especially since I´m a German speaker. Well, as English is a global language, it´s becoming more and more important to know it. But I mean, as long as you can hold a (basic) conversation, it´s more than enough, honestly. Your English is already quite good, so don´t worry too much about it. It´s absolutely possible to start to learn a new language while you are still improving in another.

And I'd like to go deeper in the Korean culture as well, because it's often just seen by foreigners as "Seoul-country with pop modern culture" and that's it, which is not, of course, the case !

Same here. I do have some basics but had to take a break from Sweidsh to make room for other languages but it's time to seriously dust off Swedish grammar books and to get my Swedish to a decent advanced level. So next year will be devoted to working on Swedish.

18:09 That Hungarian word pălincă is actually of Slavic origin too. It comes from the Slavic "paliti" = burn, distil. Therefore pălincă is literally (as a product) and etymologically the equivalent of the English "brandy", a word derived from Dutch "branden" = burn, distil.

With my basic latin and spanish skills plus having french as a first language I once accidently found out that I could actually understand the gist of a romanian text without having ever see or heard the language before so pretty accessible for people who already speak a latin language (or a few of them). In the same vein sweden is close to norwegian (that is a little simpler to learn for english/french speaker) both nice languages to learn Would love to learn korean cuz it's the new asian-cool (been watching a few very good korean drama on Netflix).

[@shugyosha7924]

I learnt Japanese, next I'd like to learn Korean. I understand the grammar is very similar to Japanese. The pronunciation seems pretty tough with the double consonants and strong consonants and the variety of sounds not in English (or Japanese).

[@Beryesa.]

You should also check out Turkish after them, you'll find it very familiar :P

[@BlueSwampyCraft]

I’m fluent in Japanese (studied in college and went there afterwards) and I’m studying Korean now. You’re exactly right. The grammar is a piece of cake for me (my classmate who doesn’t speak Japanese finds it quite confusing) and there are many similar words because they come from Chinese. The phonetics are very confusing though. So many rules and I still can’t spell properly 😂

[@BlueSwampyCraft]

I was watching this in order to get some inspiration for my next challenge but I never expected Romanian to be the surprise. As a Romanian, I can tell you that we appreciate a lot when foreigners are using even "Buna ziua" or "Multumesc" in conversations. We know Romanian language is a difficult one but if you are dreaming about discovering our natural wonders, definitely you will need some Romanian words. In case anyone here is interested, there are few series done by Charlie Ottley (Wild Carpathia, Flavours of Romania) in which he presents Romania

Well, I liked how you started with Japanese and even though I've been to Japan 7 times (hoping to make it 8 in April 2024) there's no way my Japanese is anywhere near your level from 10 years ago. I will say I'm a step above knowing just enough to get around so I figured I'd start with your Intermediate level. After diving right in, so far it looks like I've made the right choice. Listened to the story the first time, got about 50% of it, listened to it again, got 60% overall and a third to 4th time got me to about 75%, admittedly with the help of Google Translate with the words I don't know. All this before even looking at the transcript (my reading is rather rusty, but I know I need to look at it!) and will probably NOT look at the English Translation unless I truly get lost. I'm hoping that won't happen.

[@teddytodorova]

Mentioning Romanian was cool. Many people aim for more popular languages - of course nothing bad, but knowing at least a little bit of not that popular language is cooler. (For longest period I've been aiming to Swahili.) In Bulgarian we also use "Mersi" for Thank you and we have many words that comes from French, etc.. We have also Turkish words which remained from the past. We do not have word order, you can say the sentence however you want (just don't end with preposition) and it will sound totally fine. Another plus is that Bulgarian is phonetic language. Also many Bulgarians do not know proper grammar (yes, I am grammar police, and I am not sorry!) and they do not write or speak properly, but they don't care, so even if you make mistakes nobody will give a s*** and most probably learning it from a book you will speak more correctly than Bulgarians.

My autodidactic language learning journey: Since childhood, this child (me) has native languages such as Balinese and Indonesian. I learned Malay easily because of the cartoons I watched since kindergarten. I studied English when I was in elementary school, ofc there were a few difficulties because learning in class was only once a week without tutoring (actually it could be through films or games) After middle school, I continued learning Japanese through anime or videos that use subtitles (so that it's easy to understand the pronunciation and meaning) then I learned hiragana, Katakana, and kanji. After that I wanted to be able to learn Korean, just to understand the meaning of the conversation of kdramas without subtitles and that was quite helpful even though the Hangul writing was a bit lacking. Currently I'm practicing Mandarin conversation through apps and watching c-dramas which made me interested in this language. Before learning a new language, you must know the goals and benefits in the future so that it is easier to understand the language.

Hindi is great language to learn. Only issue is still the scarcity of learning materials for English speakers who are complete beginners. I do believe that people from India could produce more of them to make others learn their language more easily. What given the demographic of India would benefit the future of the country. In my country we already have huge immigration of people from India but both immigrants and our own native citizens stumble upon a language barrier. With more materials for learners of Hindi available online communication in our local communities with immigrants from India would work much easier. What would benefit our business and cultural contacts.
