The point about most polyglots learning related languages is a crucial one. Most learners are disheartened when they can’t pick up languages as quickly as polyglots on social media. Now they know 👌🏾

[@PandasRViolent]

95% of these internet polyglots aren't actually polyglots. Sure they know a few phrases in several languages but any one can do that with a couple weeks of memorization and a few cheap camera tricks. are they actually fluent in these languages and have a deep understanding of the languages no. I highly doubt most of them know two languages let alone multiple.

[@PandasRViolent]

Any "Polyglot" that doesn't have a live demonstration speaking to a native speaker of supposed languages they know is full of crap. They should be crisp and coherent and the conversation should not just be about fluff, I went to the grocery store to get milk.

[@alejandraahmed1177]

People do it for survival. If they are immigrants and have a job in another country they would be willing to learn more. Swim or sink.

[@PandasRViolent]

@@alejandraahmed1177 Reading comprehension is key, first and foremost. I said 95% of internet Polyglots are fake, not all Polyglots are fake. Learning Language through immersion is literally the best way to learn, which is what immigrants and scholars do. Even then it still takes time to learn the language and understand it to be fluent, As someone whose traveled and is bilingual most of these people even the immigrants and Scholars i'd argue are semi-fluent really, yes they can have complete conversations, but usually not fluidly. Internet polyglots aren't immigrants struggling to survive or scholars they are vloggers trying to make a quick buck selling people a quick dream only time they will be in said country is on vacation. Lastly if you don't use said language is a muscle you will literally forget it if you don't use it. My ex-gf stopped speaking Arabic when she was around 12 now an adult she can't speak it but only understands certain words

1:38 so true! I speak English and i've been learning spanish for a little while. Even though Im probably just around a2 level spanish, i tried to read an a1 level French text, had a quiz based on that text and you know what? I got all the answers right! I've never studied French but english and spanish REALLY helps. It is way easier to learn a language when you already know another language that is related to your target lang. (my native language is Turkish btw)

This was the most honest talk. Esta fue la charla más honesta.

[@marvintheparanoidandroid42]

It's so true. For example, I had to watch that one Russian series without subtitles because it took them literally months to get the subtitled version available on the internet (:/) Yet, after a while, when the same words and expressions were repeated in similar contexts, I felt like I began to understand the main theme of the conversations, although not word for word. Of course, this doesn't mean that you will learn the damn language after a few episodes, but you kinda realize that learning a language is a combination of the ability to follow patterns and imitate. And oh boy, does that give me joy. (P.S. Ayrıca İclal dur, Sırpçayı önce ben öğrenecektim skskakdk)

[@iclaliano]

yes, i also watched so many content without properly understanding but years later all that turned out super useful :) they just introduce the language patterns to your brain

I absolutely with your points Iclal! I don't think being a polyglot itself is a "talent" as some people phrase it but learning to become one certainly is a skill that's developed. I feel the same way with learning a new language, that each one gets easier. Not because of similar vocabulary (Im learning languages in different families, although I agree with your points) but because you learn how to learn a language. Ex, I now know what type of vocabulary I should learn in order to start speaking and the grammar that is important at beginning stages. Thanks for the video :)

[@iclaliano]

thanks for your contribution! totally agree

[@han_ane9763]

From your experience How to learn language and which kind of vocabulary or ways should follow ? Thanks 👍

[@sandrapopovicc]

What a coincidence I found your video!!! Ever since I was a kid I had a hard time speaking serbian. Its inspiring to see how you were able to pick up on it so easy I've noticed after I began learning spanish and was able to obtain a good proficiency, I naturally became better at speaking serbian due to being around my family again. It felt like I was more capable of recognizing patterns in language. I am wondering if the strengthening of the pattern recognition "muscle" also contributes to the success polyglots have with learning new languages. Or maybe it could be an improvement of memory, increased amount of attentiveness to different languages, or maybe even more confidence to learn. Who knows to be honest, but it was interesting to see how quickly I was able to pick up on things after not being able to for so long. I wonder if other people have had similar experiences

Hello, Apart from french english and spanish that we in Tahiti learn at school, i learn the languages i am interested alone. M'y strategy is to learn related languages. It's way more easier when you know one of the family group to expand to another language of the group.

[@donrumata_]

Well, all Slavic languages are VERY close to each other, way closer than even Romance languages because they separated from Proto-Slavic only about 1200-1400 years ago. For native speakers of Slavic languages all other Slavic languages are comprehensible at least in terms of reading and 1-2 usually in terms of speaking too. For example, as a native speaker of Ukrainian I understand about 95-98% of Belarusian in any form from the scratch. However, general patterns in all Slavic languages are almost the same, and theoretically a person can learn all of them on a very good level in a pretty short period of time. Normally nobody would do that but yes, we can :)

[@iclaliano]

yes, it's just surprising how those languages share even more, i speak only russian and still see the similarity, can't imagine how it would be if i spoke the others because they seem to be even more compatible

[@Uniyou0459]

Yeah its crazy! Im learning polish and i can sometimes understand when I hear russians or ukrainians speaking. even thought I cant do with with spanish as an english speaker.

[@alexanderboehmler6451]

Bulgarian (and Macedonian, if you count that as a language separate from Bulgarian) have a grammar that is very different from the other Slavic languages though. That means much of the vocabulary is still the same, with some terms sounding "religious" to other Slavs, due to Church Slavonic basically being Old Bulgarian. For example in listening or reading comprehension exercises, learners are often asked whether a statement is "true or false", or in Bulgarian "вярно или грешно". But the way sentences are structured is rather different, and that makes it much more difficult to understand, let alone produce, more complex statements. Thus, it is not surprisng that the Bulgarian language course for Ukrainian refugees I have seen heavily focuses on grammar.

[@iclaliano]

didn't know this about bulgarian, that's so impressive. it reminded me of the compatibility of turkish and azerbaijani, we can mostly understand them but how they express things sounds a bit aggressive or offensive to us. meanwhile they say that turkish sounds so formal

[@alexanderboehmler6451]

@@iclaliano Thank you for your answer! Azerbaijani has similar grammar to Turkish though, I think? As for Bulgaria, I do recommend a visit, for example if you ever travel overland between Milan and Istanbul. I think you would enjoy the mix of Russian and Turkish influences there. Actually, Mustafa Kemal (later Atatürk) knew the language: he studied in Bitola (Ottoman Empire, now North Macedonia) from 1896 to 1899. Later he served at the Ottoman Embassy in Sofia (already independent Bulgaria) from 1913. He fell in love with a Bulgarian woman, but her father forbade her to marry him. This is why, in early 1915, he left Bulgaria to join the war. Soon afterwards, he became famous.

[@IanMusa]

Great points, i find learning spanish easier than other would because in my native language we pronunciate the vowel sounds the same as spanish, and i have been living in english for 20+ years, so naturally, i find it easier

[@leonKennedy0023]

Fascinating insights about the polyglot world... grazie mille! PS. Will you attend Polyglot Gathering 2024?

[@thestraightupguide]

I've found learning Spanish to be very easy for me, as a native English speaker, and I credit a lot of that to being such a proficient native English speaker. I spent my childhood reading everything - encyclopaedias, dictionaries, novels, newspapers, text-only story driven video games... I was reading at university level by the age of nine, simply because I'd done so much reading. So, when a Spanish word is a close match to an obscure, rarely-used English word, I immediately understand it, where it might have passed other learners by. I also studied German at school (passed the B1 exam) and it's surprising how often I can more-or-less follow along with Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, even Danish sometimes. So yes, I very much agree about things building on what you already know, rather than being some magical power we're assumed to have!

[@chasesutherland1168]

I have been studying German for about 4 months now and I wanted to see how similar other Germanic languages are. I could understand most of the first mini story of Norwegian without even looking at what the words mean.

[@iclaliano]

[@pm12a]

Hi Iclal, could you make a video about practicing writing in a foreign language? You show pictures of your notebooks sometimes they are so beautiful! I would like to know how to master that skill as well

[@cro_lok2363]

Yeah, I get this. My native language is Bulgarian. Before I tried to learn German and failed miserably. I'm planning on picking it up again this summer. Right now I'm attending a Russian course and listening to many videos on KZbin in that language. Honestly, it's so much easier to understand and learn

[@brianl6128]

You’re right about how some people are polyglots due to circumstance. My friend has a Spanish mother, Algerian father, il a grandi dans la région francophone de Belgique, et puis il a déménagé à la région néerlandophone. Du coup il parle l’espagnol, l’arabe, le français, le néerlandais, et l’anglais. Il est hyper gentil and he’s helped me with my French a lot. I hope that as I progress in Spanish and Arabic I can speak to him in those languages too.

[@iclaliano]

yes, also some had really great education in those languages even if they never tried to become a polyglot, i know a person who speaks several languages just because of the school. rare case but impressive, for countries with better education methods

[@martixon8844]

That's true. We often don't pay attention to WHICH languages someone knows and usually they know several of the same language group exactly as you said. You can't have complexes. I am interested in learning English, German, French, Russian, Japanese and Arabic. As a Pole, Russian is not difficult for me, on the contrary, it is fun and relaxing. I have been learning English and German for a long time. As for Japanese, I am very motivated and to my Polish ear it seems very easy to pronounce. The only languages I really have difficulty with are French and Arabic because I've only been learning French for a short time and I can't quite hear clearly what someone is saying, and Arabic is Arabic. I just know that I have to give myself a lot of time to this language, but at the same time I know how rich and beautiful it is. I wish everyone good luck in learning languages and please never give up 🤍

you are a lovely and humble person and the polyglot community needs you. As a native english speaker, btw, your english is nearly perfect except you made the very understandable mistake of confusing “say” with “tell”.

[@paceeamore5901]

Ma langue maternelle est le français, et je souhaitais apprendre l'italien puis l'espagnol, mais au bout de 4 mois j'ai échoué avec l'italien. La grammaire m'avait découragé avec toutes les prépositions articulées et les nombreuses exceptions. Et puis j'ai commencé l'espagnol tout récemment. Parce que j'ai au final beaucoup plus de raisons d'apprendre l'espagnol que l'italien. Et ce sera aussi beaucoup plus facile à pratiquer pour moi. L'écoute et la lecture peuvent être aussi une solution dans l'apprentissage des langues, mais à mon avis c'est inutile si on n'a pas de bonnes bases. Donc, au moins avoir le niveau A2... mais parfois, je me demande si je suis fait pour apprendre des langues. Avoir un niveau B2 au minimum en espagnol et en italien, ce serait le plus gros exploit de ma vie clairement ! Parce qu'à 30 ans, je parle toujours qu'une langue...

Not true at all! Turkish and Arabic and NOT related! Turkish is a Turkic language, which is in the Ural-Altay language family.

as far as i know im not on the spectrum, but it's true that many polyglots are. i also know some examples around me and the thing is they obsess over some languages from time to time and actually achieve a great level sometimes without even properly studying unlike many people because that language was simply their only major interest for a while

Not only do you have no knowledge about the Altai language family, you are making up information to relieve your own inferiority complex.
