I love how you noted that "The world is more available to me" when you learn new languages. You are excited about connecting to more people. Back in college, my Freshman Comp professor wrote this quote on the board: The limits of our language are the limits of our world. - Wittgenstein This quote really made a difference in my life. It made learning languages to be so purposeful.

[@ginabee1212]

As far as language learning goes, I have learned so much Russian using a combination of Pimsleur and Duolingo. When I used Pimsleur CDs to learn Polish 17 years ago, I didn't have Duolingo, but I STILL remembered SO MUCH Polish when started with Russian, but Duolingo really upped my game.

[@jofranco]

This is the exact reason I started language learning and why I've deliberately learned the 5 most spoken languages (Mandarin still under construction). To communicate with the world

This is a great approach and philosophy to have when learning languages. ☝️ There are a number of closed minded older minds from my part of the world who are too afraid to approach languages this way.

Hi, do you know about Jesus? He lived, died, and resurrected so that those who believe in Him shouldnt perish but have everlasting life. Cause yeah, right now, those who live in sin are dead in it; the wages of sin is death, but God gave a gift of life through Christ Jesus. So what? He loves us, He doesn't desire that any perish but reach repentance, and that includes you ❤. I pray you turn from your sins if you haven't yet and then seek God. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him in faith. 😊

[@CookieFridays]

You know what.... I just watched this video because it's you; because I've been learning Spanish since I was in high school and I'm gonna be 34 this year and I'm still not where I want to be with the language. But you kind of just made me think that I'm probably learning too passively. The idea of repetition and really going hard to drive home what you're learning - that is very good advice. A lot of us have the problem of only being able to understand and not speak the language, and that is for lack of hammering home the grammar and the "essentials/basics" and also simply practicing speaking

There’s a few languages I want to learn and with time the list will likely grow… I took French from middle school to my sophomore year of high school but was never great at listening and speaking. I considered learning Spanish bc it’s the 2nd most spoken language in the US but somehow i fell in love with Korean. I sometimes get criticized for choosing Korean before learning Spanish (which is also on my list) but then i realize that if i follow what everyone else is saying instead of what i want-I’ll learn nothing. Never fully committing to any new language. Plus you never know where life may take you. I might need Korean someday. This video came at a perfect time. Thanks

Hola Jo, ¿qué tal estás? My name is James and I came across your channel for the first time today, and I wish I had found it sooner. I watched your video on your reasons for learning languages and I found it very inspiring. I speak English and Spanish, understand a bit of Italian, French, and Portuguese and have this fleeting desire to someday be fluent in all of the above, although the realities of life have held me back. I also saw that you grew up, or at least spent a good amount of time in Connecticut. I was born in Connecticut and lived there for 34 years before moving to Spain to live with my Spanish wife and daughter. I was just wondering what part of Connecticut you're from. I don't have a channel of my own but I hope to someday create videos on language learning as inspiring as yours. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. Perhaps we can chat someday.

Enjoyed your video and tips. I just started learning Arabic, solidly for about a month, through Duolingo. Since I want to learn the Egyptian dialect I've also just started to use KZbin videos. At times, I feel like I'm never going to get it, some of the sounds are so difficult to distinguish from another or to pronounce. Hopefully, with time I'll be able to refine my ear as well as my verbal dexterity. Look forward to checking out your other videos and your starter kit. I'm curious when learning a language with a different script, is it better to fully know the letters and sounds before starting in on vocabulary and grammar? I've been doing both at the same time and definitely struggle more when I'm less certain of the letters.
