I Spoke 5 Languages in 5 Lessons in 5 Days, Here's What Happened

[@melissamartinez276]

I love This, maybe one day i'll get the courage to take a language lesson 🤔 it's so interesting to see how you study, i burn out myself in all of my languages at one haha I'm a masochist 🇫🇷🇩🇪🇧🇷🇯🇵

[@elyssespeaks]

You definitely should go ahead and take the jump!!

[@millylz__]

Same!! I just love listen to her speaking all these languages

[@joaopedrolorentz5099]

Muscle memory is stored in a very different region of the brain (and a much more permanent one if I am not mistaken). So what you said about sign languages makes a lot of sense!

[@elyssespeaks]

i should do some research on that!

[@joaopedrolorentz5099]

@@elyssespeaks I'll have a look at it too! If I'm not mistaken, Broca's Area is for vocabulary and Wernicke's area for grammar and structure. I'm not sure how they integrate with motor pathways though.

[@studywithalex]

Omg the part at 6:52 about accidentally sprinkling in the German filler words is so damn relatable! 😂 I have a lot of English students who sprinkle in filler words that aren't their native language or English, and I love it tbh

[@elyssespeaks]

hahahaha it’s such a struggle!!

[@erologuzhut6546]

Hi Elysse, I see that you've been learning Turkish recently! That's great :) If you're looking for a language partner, I'm all in! Maybe you remember, I was a community tutor on italki just like you for a very long time and I would be very happy to help you out with your Turkish. I speak German and Italian besides English and Turkish so maybe we could apply this good old laddering technique together as well. ;) Hope to hear from you! Erol

[@BRStormysea]

Eu achei sua pronúncia de Português Brasileiro ótima.

[@swcorvus]

this motivated me to take a language lesson soon and it also reinforced how much i want to learn ASL. love the video idea, keep it up!

[@elyssespeaks]

i’m so glad!! make sure to work with a Deaf tutor for lessons ~

[@papitosan131]

Bia, veja se meus vídeos te ajudam 💜

[@keanancupido]

Loved this video! It's so nice to see that we all forget words and sometimes we need to build our confidence up again. This happened to me with German, Portuguese and Dutch. Ever since I started working for a German company, I've been using German like everyday and the others with my friends and just taking in a lot of content and it's really nice.

[@elyssespeaks]

i’m so jealous that you get to use German thag mhcb hahaha. and yesss that’s exactly what i hoped to do with the video, so many people assume i’m 100% fluent in everything but i have my struggles too. thank u for watching!!

[@gwchk7]

Woooow this was so fun to watch! I really enjoyed it and now I know you’e crazy 😂 would love to see a video on 5 lessons of the same language to see how quickly you improve :) also waiting for more Portuguese videos because I like your accent

[@elyssespeaks]

I’ll put that video on the list! and hahaha i’ll try :)

[@GeeClef64]

Okay, this was just phenomenal! I also started learning Turkish about a month ago coincidentally. It's the first language that I've ever started from scratch by self-studying. It's been a really interesting experience so far! Something that really helped me was using Language Transfer's free Turkish lessons to build a foundation. It really helped establish my ability to create novel sentences, and I was constantly able to build off of what I already knew. I highly recommend it if you're a fan of audio lessons! Anyway, thank you so much for this video! You've inspired me to start studying multiple languages again.

[@elyssespeaks]

Noted! Laddering is a bit tricky so I might consider some more english language resources. and hey, i’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

[@theshiningwolves1202]

Ok, I'm officially impressed! And I really like the video idea.. I'd love to see it more often on your channel, but it also requires lots of time and effort. Appreciate it very much!!

[@elyssespeaks]

i can definitely incorporate more of my lessons onto my channel! i know it helps ppl to feel more confident seeing even *youtubers* at their most vulnerable 😆 thank ya for the feedback, glad you enjoyed

[@ariannarivera5683]

O termo específico para "Passover" é Páscoa Judaica, ou simplesmente Pessach mesmo. Sua pronúncia é incrível, dá pra se passar por falante nativa.

[@elyssespeaks]

Faz sentido isso. Obrigada!

[@antoniafuentes4691]

You're literally my hero. I'm learning Flemish and Italian right now but I miss German. I learnt it for a few years but I realized I had no one to practice it with so since I'm living in Brussels I switched to Flemish.

[@elyssespeaks]

you’re MY hero, good luck friend!!!

Yesss, I have ADHD and sometimes I find it hard to process stuff in English let alone other languages lmao. Producing has always been really hard for me. Love this video and feel very inspired :)

Elysse I'm still new to your channel but I am S H O O K. How you can speak so many languages is so beyond me, I'm still trying to reach B1 German and it's only my second language like HOW, super impressive 🏆 And you're 22 ?? Like have you been learning since you were legit 2 years old ?? 😂 Sidenote, do you know what level you are at in all the languages you've learned? (Does ASL have a CEFR thing??) P.S congrats on making some awesome videos, I can see how much effort goes into putting them together and it pays off 😊

[@elyssespeaks]

I just don’t have anything else to do HAHAHA and no, i’ve only been on German on and off since i was 16 or so.. i try not to focus on CEFR levels, i have a rough idea but i’ve never taken a test. and ASL doesn’t use CEFR to my knowledge thank u for watching! 🙏

[@jeanthomas7523]

Coming to this video hella late but I loved it! 🎉❤ one, because I’m also a language learner, and two, I’m an English tutor on iTalki so I like being able to check out other tutor styles. Keep up the baller work!

Thank you so much 💜 I’m glad you enjoy them Rafael!! Beijos desde 🇺🇸:)

[@andresouza5751]

When you spoke in Portuguese, you were able to replicate very well the way of Brazilians speak, It's a really hard thing to do. That "Caramba mano, tu fala muito bem" was perfect. I'm trying to do the same learning English but I've a crush for accents, so for curiosity, besides the "traditional" American English, I'm watching some videos about the south accent, specifically from Texas, and the british, taking care to not mix specific words.

[@anabtriizz]

[@elyssespeaks]

thank you!! can i ask a follow up? 😄 what specifically did you like?

[@Imaginfull]

@@elyssespeaks The amount of languages spoken and varying content! I feel like your content lately before these 3 newer videos have been very revolved around German, which I still like but it might not appeal to non-German learners like myself. A balance of sit-down videos and vlogs is nice too. You diving into Turkish has also been fun to watch since it’s a more obscure and complex language, which I’m sure many are curious about your approach as well. This also comes down to personal opinion, but your editing has also become more fun and less dull!!! Anyways, thanks for making such high-quality vids even with all you have going on!!!

[@MF-vc3vt]

I‘m fluent in english turkish and german but I never really had to learn a language because I grew up speaking german turkish and english from an early age. That’s why I always struggle with learning languages I think . I just don’t know where to start because I never thought of language’s as something I needed to learn or study for I just kind of always knew how to talk in them 😅

[@elyssespeaks]

that's still a wonderful gift to have-- three languages right from birth! i have plenty of videos on how to study languages in general, i hope they can help you :)

[@williamhehemann3887]

What an awesome experiment! I love your outlook and the positive takeaways you had despite the challenges. I can empathize with the difficulty of keeping languages straight during lessons on italki. In the last few years I've been taking both Polish and Ukrainian lessons every week, and it's still so hard for me not to mix vocabulary, sounds or accent between the languages. And then, when I recently took a Spanish lesson on italki, I automatically started going over to Ukrainian or Polish! Anyway, this video definitely inspires me to keep up my ability to regularly speak the languages I know.

[@VoidHugger]

So, clout-fishing is when you are trying to gain (fish for) fame (clout). So, gaining fame = clout-fishing. Clout is a newer concept, used more by younger people. Clout-fishing is a negative term because it's used to describe people that do stupid things on the internet for fame. Fishing can be used in lots of negative terms like this.

Your english looks pretty good to me I also just realised I forgot to explain the hearie part In the deaf community there are words used to describe hearing and non-hearing (deaf) people.
