[@francisbacon7738]

I only started seriously learning languages a few years ago, I have a rough plan to study each language for 2 years (to begin with). I started with French and now I have done about 10 months of German. I am 59 years old and really regret I did not start 40 years ago, but better late than never. I am determined to live to well over 100 so I can realise my language ambitions!!

[@chocklad9]

Good job!

[@Erika-pq7ip]

Me watching this while getting ready for a date because im no simp for men just languages 😂❤

[@elyssespeaks]

ooooo go get ‘em girl 🫢

[@Emma-tz2nf]

Good luck on the DALF exam! You’re the reason I started learning French because of you so I hope you do well!

[@ahmetkandemir4639]

Finally there is someone who's knowing the crossword's value.

[@Cation_bibliophile]

Can’t believe the second quarter is almost over Wtf 😭 I’ve been basically focusing on French through out the whole time, but now that I’m done with highschool for this year I’ll focus on studying Spanish and prolly German alongside with French!

[@why9886]

A great way to organize your schedule, Elysse if you know how wonderful your style in videos makes watching your videos without boredom, because of your wonderful spontaneity

[@elyssespeaks]

awww these are my favorite kinds of comments ♥️ i’m glad you enjoyed my company hahaha

[@Antimanium]

I've also been planning my language goals according to each quarter of the year! I'm mainly focused on improving my English to B2 and my French to B1 by the end of the year :)

[@elyssespeaks]

great minds think alike 😎

[@tieuthumangnuoc]

I could eventually achieve the Goethe-Zertifikat B2 after a year working hard. Your channel has been my great motivation ever since I started learning German.

[@elyssespeaks]

i’m so glad for you!! keep working at it

[@Lema_the_youtuber]

You the reason I started my language KZbin channel because I am also a polyglot and I look up to you so much keep the good work

[@elyssespeaks]

awesome ❤️ YOU keep it up!! that’s amazing

[@Lema_the_youtuber]

@@elyssespeaks thankyou so much

[@_gabiicortes]

loved this!🫶🏼

[@markus_rut]

YOOOO. You are so structured. I love it so much!!!! Your German accent by the way is very good (I'm German).

[@elyssespeaks]

it would be a German to complement me on structure 😭 dankeschön!

[@markus_rut]

@@elyssespeaks hahahaha :D so funny now that you mention it

[@su5311]

Good luck on your Turkish learning journey! It's so good to see you learn my lovely mother tongue Türkçe

[@dianaruth12]

I started in Q2 cuz I had a mental health hiatus. Spanish is my main focus and I'm just dabbling otherwise basically but using German and Italian as breaks but also taking Lithuanian slowly. Korean is for just seeing an effective way to learn a newish script but also for media purposes. Lithuanian is to help a friend get back into learning the language. I'm just brushing up on Japanese and French and Vietnamese and maybe Croatian will be dabble every now and then.

[@darinalipatova6220]

Ah, I love your videos so much! Thank you!!

[@jssmedialangs]

That's so cool! I'm not studying German yet but I'm going to listen to the episode. 😄 Good luck with the DALF!

[@RachelHaraburda]

I am just about to finish the Lingoda German Super Sprint and I am so ready to stop actively feeling my thoughts, but I think it was just the kick I needed to make some significant progress as I'll be taking the Geothe C1 exam within the next calendar year. I am also considering doing the regular sprint for French to finally push myself to learn

[@adventureswithmadison]

Whenever I do begin learning French I want to do Lingoda's 60 day sprint 🤧

[@elyssespeaks]

awesome!! i’m so glad it’s working for you, it’s funny cause i’ll be doing the same for my German C1 :P we’re just switching places hahaha

[@55karly]

How much time it takes per day usually to finish? I am wo dering whether it would be viable for me...

[@adventureswithmadison]

@@55karly i know Lingoda has very in depth rules and explanations but I believe the lessons are an hour a piece so that will either be each day or every other day

[@DobleD06]

This is the first time I watch a video from your channel, and I'm amazed. The edition, your charisma and humor, your organization... I admire you Elysse. Keep up the hard work! I don't use Notion cause it looks complicated, but I might use it with your template. I wish you all the best with your goals. Thx dor the inspiration! Pd: I didn't doubt to subscribe to your channel btw. Pd2: Your French pronunciation is really good.

[@cagdaskefeli8078]

as a Turk I geniunely thought about how few one cup of black tea would be the second you said it lol. I drink at least 5-12 cups of tea every day. I used to bring a termostat to school back in high school, but since I would practically drink 7 cups of tea (about 1 for each lesson break) I just kept buying from the cafeteria.

[@melaniegrace7707]

I don’t know how you do it. I’ve started on many languages but honestly I’ve ended up sticking with 3 for now and I can barely do that. Managing to keep German at a barely b2 level while just trying to get my Spanish and Haitian Creole (south Florida languages ya know) to usable levels it’s a struggle I feel my German could get so much better if I focused solely on that but the relevance of the other two languages is a constant motivator and distractor. Also that’s wild I have this mug from my grandma that says “crosswords are fun” and I was just talking to my bf saying I never really enjoyed them. But you’re motivating me to give them another try 😅

[@jsuisEla]

i was feeling so demotivated to study german and french at the same time this summer, this video helped me thanks! Love from Turkey

[@jsuisEla]

also your turkish accent is so spot on

[@Yourturkishteacherr]

Hi everyone! I started to youtube make videos about Turkish language :) So if you are turkish language learner i am waiting your video ideas 🥰

[@morganmcmahon3021]

You are such an inspiration and badass. I feel the same way with French after high school and one semester of college my French vocab wasn’t up to par. But over the past almost 3 years I’ve met people from Cameroon where I work and have been able to practice speaking again. Fingers crossed for the DALF exam results🤞🏻 Bonne chance Also it’s been an interesting journey learning Japanese, originally loved anime and now it’s also being used as some fun study material so I feel like I’m missing out on part of the story. But it’s been interesting and I’m wondering if I can probably find Japanese crosswords😂😂

[@brunemedeiros8194]

also going to pass the DALF but on september... cant wait to hear more about your experience

[@elyssespeaks]

i’m definitely gonna make a couple videos about it :)

[@ugurozkusen2049]

[@osonhodeleon]

You're an amazing polyglot.

[@corvusway]

1. love the cats in your laptop lol 2. you're gonna ace the dalf exam, all the best!! excited to hear your experience 3. could you make a video if everthing goes well and you get your refund in the lingoda sprint to convince my skeptical brain? :')

[@elyssespeaks]

heck yeah i’ll made a video on it

[@TheMarinettes]

I did it in german and got the refund if that helps your brain ahah I know I was very skeptical before actually having the money back on my account ;)

[@corvusway]

@Marie F oh i wanna do the german sprint, thanks for sharing :)

[@V1CTOR07]

Elysse it's getting prettier ☺️

[@betinaceciliafeld9854]

I tend to think a quarter is a four months period as it sounds so similar to "cuatrimestre" in Spanish (my native language). I need to double check that concept every time I hear someone talking about their quater 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@GladysHunnam]

June 15th is tomorrow! Good luck with the exam!

[@elyssespeaks]

THANK YOU BBY

The betrayal I felt when you didn't post the Q1 and Q2 wrap up early this year was real. I swear. I was like "She said in her goals we would keep ourselves accountable!" But here the long awaited video is! Whoo

[@elyssespeaks]

girl gimme a breakkkk 😭

[@leiselr5135]

Hi Elysse, Kinda unrelated but are there any crossword puzzle apps that you would recommend in French, German or Spanish. I cant find any with definitions in the target language like those in English.

[@enory5983]

always a good video. I have a problem with stop getting overwhelmed with schedule I make for me. Can you make a video about? How are you adjust your schedule for any kind of learners. Thank you. 😊

[@alexandermagnus7384]

[@my_graphics]

You work really hard, I wish I could too. I am at A1 (German) for almost 2.5 years and I feel stuck at A1. I hate myself now.

[@caglaaaaa]

i can do • yap(-abil)irim i do • yaparım i can't do • yap(-a)mam i don't do • yapmam it's sometimes confusing even for us (turkish people) to see the difference between these two but the important thing is to keep in mind that "-ebilmek, -abilmek" shows that someone is able to do (or here comes any verb) something in a positive turkish sentence. in the negative version of these "-ebilmek, -abilmek" is "-a". don't forget that these "-mek, -mak" at the end of "-ebilmek, -abilmek" is turkish version of "to" (like "to make, to swim") in english. ❤

[@jbad6066]

[@elenaekanathapetrova2282]

I've settled my year goals and do self reflection how it's going. I still learn English and also Ukrainian (for 5 Month), Hindi. I have started Japanese recently. And this one is the biggest surprise for me. I feld that i'm stucked in Hindi and obviouse solution is learn it better, isn't? But I start new language instead. Just one day i found mysesf doing that))

Hi elyless

[@PimsleurTurkishLessons]

yapamam = geniş zaman yapamıyorum = şimdiki zaman USAGES OF PRESENT SIMPLE TENSE ( R (+will, +request) I wrote present simple tense but we call it “Geniş= Broad” tense. 1- It can be used for “will tense” (uncertain, unplanned, guessed future) Belki yarın gelirim= maybe i will come tomorrow. Yarın yağmur yağar mı? = will it rain tomorrow 2- and it can be used also in questions to request.Such as “would you please” kapıyı açar mısınız= would you open the door? (request) çay içer misiniz? = would you drink tea? 3- It can be used to tell general facts such as “Sun rises from east.” 4- Yes you can use this tense to talk about daily routine but it is not common usage because we use present continuous tense to talk about daily routine. - USAGES OF present continuous tense (-yor) 1-present continuous tense is used to talk about the moment. şimdi su içiyorum = I'm drinking water now. 2-present continuous tense is used to talk about daily routine her gün çay içiyorum =I'm drinking tea everyday. But there is also present simple tense in Turkish. 3-As it is in English, present continuous tense can be used for planned future tense "to be going to". Yarın akşam geliyorum. =I'm coming tomorrow evening. But there is also a future tense in Turkish.

[@OzkAltBldgCo-bv8tt]

Crosswords bro and with that crosswords extra jumbo large index cards to write the words you learn everyday folded in half so you can't see the words that are in English and testing myself daily

I want to go back to just learning one language at a time. I've been trying to juggle Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Spanish and it's killing me. The Lingoda Sprint seems like a scam. I mean, if they refund all of your money how do they pay the teachers?!

[@elyssespeaks]

then one at a time is probably good for you. and bahahaha think deeper than that, most people don’t complete it bc it’s a challenge so their ROI is likely high
