This is going to be a quick vlog style video about my experiment of learning Portuguese in 3 months. I was just curious if it's even possible and how far would I get to in this short time. I'll tell you about my method and techniques for language learning and I'll try to speak Portuguese for the first time! And yes, I know I made a mistake in the first phrase of the video! So I guess 3 months is not exactly enough... But no more spoilers, check out my result in the video!

As a Brazilian, the Portuguese at the start of the video took me very off guard, haha, loved it

[@MsCaleb79]

They also speak portogese in Angola, Angola means ”large angel”

[@tomaszgarbino2774]

@@MsCaleb79 No, "angel" is "anjo" in Portuguese and the country of Angola took it's name from the Kimbundu language word "ngola", which was a title held by native African kings at the time of the Portuguese colonization.

[@jacsonfh]

As a Brazilian, in a world where more and more people from distant places come closer due to the use of the English language, it becomes inevitable to study English, on the other hand, with Portuguese spoken in few countries few people are interested, for this reason, I think It is admirable when someone from another language decides to discover the beauty that is present in the Portuguese language. I'm still improving my English, but if you need to chat casually with a native Portuguese speaker, you can send me a message.

[@KaymanDZN]

Como brasileiro, lhe desejo muito sucesso nesta jornada a fluência neste belíssimo idioma! Really enjoy your videos, so keep it up! 🎉🎉

[@hephaistion3402]

So the only major Romance language that you do not speak is Romanian? Why don't you try learning that? Since you speak Russian, it will help a lot with the non-Latin vocabulary.

[@petersimple2543]

Technically there are a lot of other Romance languages and dialects, from Catalan to Romansch. They just aren't national languages.

[@dragasan]

​@@petersimple2543For me, Romansch would be an interesting language for me to learn as it is the closest living language to ancient Latin.

[@gerald-dw7vp]

@@dragasan No, the closest to Latin are Sardinian and Italian... Romansh (spoken in Switzerland) is very different from Latin ; Romanian has kept declensions (but very different from the Latin ones) but apart from that it's very different from Latin...

[@j.f.8611]

​​@@petersimple2543In fact Romansch is national language along with French, Italian and German in Switzerland. In the other hand Catalan is the only national language of Andorra... So, bad examples, but I get your point

If I could find the Aladin's lamp, my wish to the Genius would be to know all 7,100 languages spoken in the world (according to Ethnologue) in C1 level. This is to show how I love to learn languages. My first foreign language was English, when I was teenager. I took 1 year in a course with daily classes. As I'm Brazilian, I took less time to learn Spanish. Unless we are talking about Esperanto, I don't think some one can really learn a language in 3 months. 6 months yes. I learnt Catalan, which is also a Romance language, easier than Spanish, in 6 moths. All other languages I'm taking 1 year os more.

[@juanfervalencia]

Oi Juli o/ this video is coming exactly when I needed, right now I need to learn spanish in the fastest way I can.

[@Marcotonio]

Hah, muito bom trabalho, Júlia! I was just watching some random YT videos about click languages, enjoyed yours on the Khoisan family and saw this on on the related recs. I've been learning Elvish (Quenya) for the past 36 days and getting pretty quick results after "learning how to learn a language" with japanese, so I got curious to see your angle. Sadly there isn't much - if any - input to be had in the language, so it's a diet of flashcards and grammar guides. Once I'm done with them, I will listen to what little I can find and then begin speaking my own sentences out loud. While it doesn't apply to my current language, I really identify myself with the feeling of "I can finally waste time watching stuff and excuse it as study time!", I almost feel guilty now when I watch something in English instead of Japanese. And hey, even if you're not as conversational as you'd like, you nailed the rhythm and some pronunciation details that even some of my more advanced students with certificates to prove struggle with. The "having a life" part can really get in the way, so I advise you find some Brazilian friends - they're everywhere - and use it to have both a social life and productive Portuguese sessions. Good luck with your channel.

I just stumbled across your channel this morning. How does one go about learning a language that is not fully written? In particular the Eastern Keres language in New Mexico. What approach is taken to learn a language and write it? I am from Zia Pueblo and am a beginner in the language. I do not live on the reservation but am relatively close to it. There are seven Pueblos that speak Keres in New Mexico, both Western and Eastern.

Como português, desejo que seja bem vinda à nossa língua. Com o tempo irá compreender também a diferença de fonética e de algum vocabulário entre o português europeu e o português brasileiro. Quanto a aprender alemão, quem sabe inglês, com um bocado de treino, consegue também aprender alemão. É uma língua que redescobre a fonética do latim clássico, como português falante de alemão, sempre achei isso muito fascinante.

Cats react well to Hungarian, that's a fact proven by British scientists. Sometimes they just respond with a “Don't disturb mee, hooman” look, though. 😂

[@michaelzapletal4638]

Since spanish and portugese are rather similar (?) languages did you have problems with mixing some words or grammar? I had some problems mixing czech and polish words, especially the verbs. With ❤ from Vienna

[@Zapatero078]

yes

[@popvoid]

I'd love to see someone learn Danish in three months. 😂

[@mytasmic]

I guess this "automatic" thing works only if you know other language which is somehow similar to a new one, especially in terms of shared vocabulary. For example, as a native speaker of a slavic language i can start to understand any other slavic language just buy listening to it for some time, but that doesn't work with something like hebrew or arabic at all because i just don't know them words and there's not enough context to make the meaning out. probably for such case input feed shouldn't be just anything but something that will convey meaning not only by speech but also by some other means.

[@neilreynolds3858]

Beautiful cat! Cat is my second language.

[@Shunshnura]

I don’t know if this is just a me thing, but I personally have an easier time learning languages that don’t share much of a resemblance to the languages I already speak. I’ve been learning both Spanish (Castilian) and Armenian (eastern) recently, and for some reason I’ve just had an easier time with the latter. I have roughly the same interest in both, and I arguably spend more time with my two Spanish friends who’re teaching me than my Armenian one, yet I’m still picking up on Armenian more easily. Not to say I’m doing horrible in Spanish comparatively to Armenian, I’m doing pretty alright, the gap isn’t absurdly massive, but at least whenever picking up new vocabulary, new grammar, new interesting quirks it just comes easier to me in Armenian. I speak German and Hungarian (semi-dual native), and Hungarian obviously doesn’t help me with either, however I thought German would at least kind of make my Spanish more easy, and it did in certain aspects, but for some reason whenever I can “directly translate” grammar or words into English or German I guess, it just doesn’t quite click the same? With Spanish I almost feel as if I’m re-learning the same grammar and same words at times but just slightly different, where as with Armenian it’s all just mostly brand new and I get comfortable with it way more easily.

[@mikiex]

But once you learn Spanish it should be easier to learn French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Romanian.

[@PeaceNinja007]

I speak Spanish and now i'm curious. What aspects did you feel German and Spanish were similar in?

Hi there! Im very interested about languaje learning, actually trying to study by myself Japanese ( I basically use Pimsleur and japanesepod 101. Ive been doing it for 8 weeks now obviously the process is slow because, as a mexican , Im facing an absolutely different languaje, and its a pretty big challenge. But I absolutely agree with you , if I put my effort three months in a romance languaje, the story would be different, ( my wife has made a lot of progress in italian using just Babbel and Bussu). I think the limitation to this basic approach is that we can learn the new languaje to some extent and be able to basically speak it with a little fluency , but we would have limitations ( important ones) about reading, ,writing, and grammar understandig. But as you say its a good point to start and be motivated. I have two questions for you, first , whats is your oppinion about Pimsleur? to me is great as its based on learning with conversations that trains our ears and brain, and my point of view is that works well. And my other question, I need some advice here, what is your suggestion to keep motivated? Languaje learning is fun and interesting but we can face sometimes frustration and maybe a little anxiety ( speaking for myself) when we are in the middle of a slow progress curve. By the way, your content is awesome, fun and educational. Keep up the good work. Greetings from México

What has prevented me from continuing to learn languages is the lack of opportunity to immerse yourself within it. I was really pleased to see how you adopted Lingopie for immersion. That you like it. Lingopie is totally new to me so I will check it out. Potentially sounds like a gamechanger for learning language as the must need for language is to apply it regularly or it is mostly forgotten - this is my experience. Would like to learn Finnish but can see Lingopie does not have it yet. So a continuation of German, Russian or French sounds like a good option for me to begin. I like Duolingo so seems the 3 months or thereabouts of Duolingo and 2 months of Lingopie is worth the try to see what happens. Thanks!
