How I'm learning six languages | priorities, schedule, goals

Hi everyone! In this video I briefly mention that I prefer language projects over language goals. If that's something you're interested to learn more about, there's now a whole video about language projects where I also share the template for my Language bucket list in Notion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/injWZKusiqh_ppI ✨

I'm also planning to be able to speak 7 languages, but only at the short term. I speak more or less five and one a bit worse, and I am currently learning the seventh, while I improve my other ones. I hope that all of you are doing great. The first comment was four months ago. How is it going, guys?

Learn languages advice - Don't start two languages at the same time - Settting priorities, how much time do you want to spent in every language - Pick your languages style and what work for you - Define your goal for the language - Schedule my study session - Search for a course or something like that - Set some projects for every language - Don't forget any of your languages

[@gaymensmeditationssunku]

Incorrect you can learn two languages at the same time as long as they are not similar languages ie Spanish and Potuguese, Dutch and German etc.

[@gaymensmeditationssunku]

The two students’ race In order to better illustrate what I mean by “managing one’s time,” here’s a story I call “The Two Students’ Race.” Two students (both Italian) decide to compete for a challenging and ambitious goal: learning ten foreign languages. The judges give them a ten year “time budget,” and the rest is up to them. Student A decides that he will pick up two languages every two years. He starts by learning English and Spanish. At the end of the two years, he picks up French and German. While learning French and German, he enjoys conversing with native speakers in both English and Spanish, languages he now speaks with a certain level of fluency. He also loves reading books. By the end of the fourth year, he is relatively fluent in German and French, so he starts learning Portuguese and Swedish. At the same time, he moves to Pariswhere he gets the chance to use the four languages he learned and continue to actively learn Portuguese and Swedish. At the beginning of the sixth year, he decides to learn Mandarin and Romanian. Two years later, he finally picks up Japanese and Dutch. Then ten years later, when time is up, he speaks English, Spanish, French, and German fluently; Portuguese, Swedish, Mandarin and Romanian well; and Japanese and Dutch decently. He has weak languages, but he reached the admirable goal of building a core in more than five languages. Moreover, he will never forget these five languages. He could get rusty in them, but they will quickly come back to him.

Thank you for this. I am learning 5 languages at the same time - Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic, Portuguese. I focus on 2 languages a day, and then the next day study two more, and I use my strongest language, as the ladder. I LOVE the bucket list idea. Fantastic!

[@plrc4593]

Learning several languages at a time is a very, very bad idea. I'm talking from own experience. Learn just one language at a time. Learn it till 6000 words (that will be B2 I suppose) and start a new language. I'm excluding English from it, because English is that important you need to learn English entire life.

Loving your channel! I'm studying both Ukrainian and French, however French has been mostly lots of conversation practice. As for now, I'm gonna try to just reach advanced levels on both languages and then I can move to another language. I feel like social media helps me a lot to maintain them, with English I don't study it anymore (besides some mandatory lessons at my job) but I consume a lot of content. Great content, Tanya. This channel is going to be BIG, I'm sure of that.

Loving your channel! I am also studying 6 languages, 3 of them are languages that I studied at school 20yrs ago and 1 I studied while living abroad 12 years ago. Much of the learning has been reviving things I used to know so the learning has been quick. And in 2 of the 4 I have managed to get to a higher level than I used to be! I started Arabic dialect learning last year and this year started European Portuguese. I can really relate with the way you learn languages, it’s intensive and passionate and at times chaotic but the spurts in few languages at a time bring proggress and don’t get boring. Looking forward to seeing more of your content ❤️

[@womblero]

Very sound advice. I'm currently learning 3 languages, and am doing so very close to your method, 3 hrs per day devoted to these languages, 1 hr. each: 1) KOREAN is totally new to me (but I already speak Japanese C2+ and am at a upper-intermediate, B2, level of Chinese), my "project" is to take TOPIK 1 this year and finish TY Korean Stories 2) CHINESE, which I have been studying off and on for more than 20 years but I'm finally getting more confident and comfortable with. I'm planning on taking HSK5 this year. My Projects are short-term study trip to Taiwan, HSK5, and read 20+ books (graded readers) 3) ITALIAN, my third Romance language after Spanish and French, so it is relatively easy for me. I have Assimil's Perfectionnement, so I'm now studying Italian via French. Projects include finishing that textbook and reading 10+ graded readers (I've read four already). 4) My problem is not having time to maintain my other languages: namely Spanish, French and German - all which are B2 level, so I'm not that worried about it, but it would be nice to consume more content in those languages. Japanese is my language of work and life so I don't lack for any opportunity there.

[@tbenavente]

Since most people at my job speak Spanish, I have no problem getting practical use from that. I have russian speaking friends so I use the Spanish to learn Russian. From that I went to Arabic Hindi and Chinese mostly because they were completely different from Roman based languages. I keep track of all five languages and am close to being able to think in spanish now. My goal is to be fluent enough to be able to speak with more than 1 billion people.

[@aryarchy]

Hey there, first of all, the video production is fantastic! I also really like overall pace of the video. My native language is also Russian. I've learned English just by watching KZbin and playing video games for 5 years. This lazy method allowed me to acquire English to about C1 level and actually make content and hang out with people. And now I'm doing the same thing with French :). I think the hardest part about learning multiple languages is actually NOT to learn them all at the same time but to niche down to one specific language and focus on it for the next whatever-you-decide amount of time. Coz I'm also in love with Polish and Japanese and it's soooo tough to not switch my attention to them. As for advice about language learning: Immersion is key. You can never ever speak or write in your target language but watch and consume as much of it as you can and eventually you'll start outputting naturally. "Refold" (A language learning program made by Matt vs Japan) is also a great source of understanding how language learning actually works. If you don't know anything about language learning I definitely recommend to start with this one.

[@halfmoon3017]

Just clicked on the video. I want to learn more languages. I think learning languages are great for self development. When I jear a beautiful language I can't help myself, I want to learn it. I know Azerbaijani (it's my native language) , English abd Turkish. I plan on learning new languages and I would like to share my plan. Now I'm working on my German skills and after 4 month I'll start learning Russian alongside German. I actually understand it because everyone in my family speaks it and I've been hearing it all my life so it's not a completely new language. So many people know it here and I feel ignorant since I don't know it well. Then I plan on learning Spanish (in 2025-2026). Again it's also not a new language for me I've been a fan of this language since I'm a kid abd it's not veey hard to understand for me. I love it very much and everything about Spanish makes me feel home. I love every single thing about this language. I tried learning it before but that year I had to take university entrance exam so I stopped. After I'm done with Russian and German hopefully I'll be able to learn beautiful Spanish 🩷 Then I wish to be fluent in Korean. A reason for this is because I started learning it years ago for fun thanks to my love for K-pop and kdramas. I stopped at some point again because of my laziness and I regret stopping because I was way younger back then and I believe it's way easier learning languages as a kid. My wish is to be fluent on these languages. Thanks for reading this far

[@LadyLLanguageLearning]

This was great. I am for sure that person that has to study multiple languages at one time. But putting space in between them is a must for the sake of not burning myself out. I have a bad habit of overwhelming myself at times. I decided to just focus on Spanish for now and a will pick back up on my Japanese in a few months. I will start another one later on this year. I was studying greek for awhile, but stopped, but I will go back to it. But having goals for each language is good, because some don't necessarily need to be for speaking.

What I find works well for me is having one main language that I study everyday, and two others that I alternate every other day with. Once I reach a satisfying level in the main one, I will move it to maintenance mode, then bring another one to the forefront, with two others I alternate with. If I study only one language all the time I will burn out. It's interesting how we are all different in that respect. :)

I am planning to make a video in Spanish soon, but to be honest, I am a little torn when it comes to making those "polyglot speaks X languages" videos (if that's what you meant). I don't focus on conversational fluency, so i feel like a video of me speaking all of my languages without preparation would be a torture to watch. I could, however, write a script and memorize it, but then it wouldn't be representative of my actual level 🤷‍♀️

[@polyglotsjourney]

I don't believe that you are slowing down your progress if you focus on more than one language. You're only reducing the time for dedicating yourself to only one language. However, you might distract your efficiency if you are learning more languages from scratch that are similar. I had that issue long time ago when I used to learn French, Italian and Latin at the same time...Great video, Tanya!😊

I'm binging your videos, they're really good! Could you make a video on how you use notion?

[@tbenavente]

A Notion video is definitely on my list!

[@constanzacortes9400]

Puedes ayudarme con como programar mi sesión de estudio para principiantes ? Que libros leer , que podcasts escuchar , cuanto tiempo y como dedicarlo a las actividades para aprender ingles ? Gracias

[@julesie0]

I would love it if you shared a Notion template for your language project ideas. Love your videos and learning style.

[@tbenavente]

That's the plan! I have a video coming out this week where I'll share the template and talk about how I'm using it

[@myhappycloud]

Excelente video! Gracias por contar tu experiencia. Yo estoy estudiando Coreano, japonés, inglés y francés y me pasa que cuando estoy estudiando un idioma pienso que debería estar estudiando el otro, entonces no logro concentrarme en ninguno y me desespero porque no siento que avance en ninguno al final. Gracias por este canal! 🙌❤

[@tbenavente]

Te entiendo muy bien, me pasa a mí tambíen 😔

[@user-um4qx7jb8gh1]

Учу английский полгода - понимаю 70% информации. Учу корейский 1,5 года - ☹️. Видимо, все те годы, что я не притрагивалась к английскому, какие-то слова запоминались сами, поскольку были в информационном поле.

[@yannirepeynado]

Where do you get the graded reading books in Italian?

[@Locosporlapsicologia]

I am from Spain and I prefer to study French and Italian at the same time, also Portuguese because its more easy to me remember similar vocabulary and I have never had any problem with that. I try to use English language in my notebooks because this is my main and second language and I have to improve it more :)

[@supernoleva129]

Enjoyed your channel. What is the least amount of months it would take to learn Spanish, French and Italian in that order? Thank you. Much respect!

[@sarahshiham3410]

I was wondering where do you find language books in your stronger languages? I couldn't find any..

[@littlemoonvlog]

this is really helpful video! currently I'm trying to learn chinese as my new language and speak english fluently...

[@IowaLanguages]

I’m adding Turkish again with French and Spanish. I’m trying to decide if an hour each a day is doable. I’ve been getting up at 4:00 and it’s working out with two. Only Spanish is from scratch. I’m using the method of time keeping you described in another video (using automations and Toggl Track).

[@Skzlovestay_4]

Loved this video!! I was wondering, what is the app you used in 0:24 ?

[@whateverart]

i currently am learning italian in school. i also want to learn korean, japanese, mandarin, spanish and probably more

[@blueberry44.]

Can you make a video going deeper and in a more detailed way on your study routine? Thanks

[@Lilina3456]

I like your videos, it is so relatable. can u please make a video how to start with a new language, I think your expertise would help immensely.

[@tbenavente]

Thank you for the idea, I'll definitely think about it!

[@engmari]

слушаю вас с удовольствием🌱 у вас приятный голос.

спасибо ✨

[@irenamcg]

Can you talk about the best resources you learn with for each language: textbooks, books, apps, websites ...? Thanks 😁

[@tbenavente]

Yep! That's the plan for my future videos!

[@Naomi-vf2rg]

This is really good advice.

[@Be_st8]

What textbooks do You use for learning Spanish? Polish and Korean also! It would be great to see your collection💓

[@tbenavente]

This is literally the topic of my next video :D Publishing it tomorrow

I've been learning Greek for 6 months and will be going a full year until I start Finnish. Ill be happy when I reach B1 on both but of course I wont be satisfied and want to reach higher levels.

[@zenbrandon]

Reading Bolaño in his native language is one of my biggest language projects!

[@Rosyx01]

Till now I know 4 languages Arabic ( Native) English ( intermediate level) Korean ( Beginner A1 ) French ( A1-A2) I want to be fluent in all of them but at the same time I need to search for jobs after graduation and I feel like I'm lost.

[@未来-p3n]

For me, I know 3-4 languages Arabic (Native) English & French (Intermediate level B1-B2) Japanese (Beginner level N5) I want to improve my English & French and I want to learn the following languages THIS year: 1-Japanese 2-Korean 3-Spanish 4-Chinese So I'm trying to do my best, Good luck to you too ☺️

wow you are very smart i wish you have always successful in your life . me i was long time when i learn english i can read but i can't understand just little i try to learn two languages but i don't know how i can do this

[@khan5195]

You got very good collection of books, can I get a list of your books ! or may be all the books and apps you use in a separate video !?

[@arbanaszildiko5904]

I've just found your channel but I already love it. :) I am really interested in that Italian children's book about the scripts you are reading at the moment. Could you write its author and title?

[@tbenavente]

Sure! It's 'Di segni e di scritture' by Henny Boccianti

[@arbanaszildiko5904]

@@tbenavente Thank you! 😊

[@FFrencis7]

can I ask you which applicаtion do you use for taking notes? looks amazing

[@tbenavente]

I use Goodnotes 5 for most of my notetaking! I'm actually working on a video about how I use my iPad to study languages and I'll talk a bit about taking notes there

[@javierbrenesramirez2523]

I wonder what you do to improve your speaking skills. Sueles hablar mucho en inglés o español? O tienes algún metodo que te ayuda a mejorar? Mucha suerte en tu canal, veo contenido muy interesante.

[@tbenavente]

Escucho muchísimo y hablo mucho conmigo misma -- describo cosas y lugares, narro mi día, me hago preguntas y me las respondo. Parezco loca, pero funciona 😅

[@soph0416]

Hii new subscriber! I really wanted to know what were the books in the vid you showed were for Spanish? I’m at an intermediate level and am really looking for some workbooks!

[@tbenavente]

Hii! Those are "Uso avanzado de la gramática española" and "Español lengua extranjera - Curso de literatura". I have a lot of other books for Spanish and I'm planning to make a video about them, so stay tuned!

[@soph0416]

@@tbenavente oh yay thank you so much!! 💓

[@aurasofficiaI]

I’m learning korean which I’m at a a1 ish level, spanish which I’m not that close to A1 but I can still hold a beginner conversation in it, and I’m currently starting Dutch! But I feel like I should start learning/studying korean and Spanish everyday to get in the habit then start on Dutch. Cause I suck at vocab in both languages and I don’t know how to get it into my brain tbh

[@Chessmaster_kpop]

I plan to know about 4 different languages before the age of 20,so far i know english and arabic fluently,french not 100% but i can write and read and understand but not speak that well and korean which im still going to improve on later because im still developing my french❤i have about 7 years to be fluent in all of these wish me luck🇺🇸🇪🇬🇰🇷🇫🇷Im fluent in 2 because of school and almost fluent in french because i also take it in french,the only language i havent taken at school is korean

[@lucasblocher8405]

I just found your channel it’s Amazing!:))

[@tbenavente]

Thank you so much!!

[@JustAnotherNameYo]

I wish that I had waited to start Korean because I had only been studying Russian for 6 months at the time. I dropped Catalan in order to do it and also stopped maintenance with Spanish. It’s a lot of work but I love them both so much so there is no going back.

[@tbenavente]

yeah, life would be so much easier if we could just settle on one or two languages but so much more boring at the same time 😅

[@sarahshiham3410]

Also can recommend any story books in French please? I don't have access to much books in French so I'm trying to find some good books

[@tbenavente]

Have you tried www.thefrenchexperiment.com/stories? These are beginner-level stories though

[@makeandbeauty-hy5qh]

Hello, I am from Myanmar. I starting learn English. Later ,I want to learn Thailand.

[@paulwalther5237]

I’ve heard the advice that you should avoid similar languages if you don’t want to just study one and I get that you will confuse them but at the same time the huge problem of just acquiring new vocabulary would be alleviated if you can cheat and just make words sound French or Spanish etc.

[@AmonRa156]

Thank you soo much for share. ☀️☀️☀️

[@tbenavente]

Any time!

[@nosedejameenpaz]

I adore languages but I think it's crazy to learn more than 2 at a beginner level and in the same time. I prefer getting b2-c1 level and then start learning new language. idk. just my personal preference I guess.
