How to Learn Two Languages at the Same Time | 5-Minute Language

[@Anthony-tu2mm]

When I speak French, I feel like I'm a different person entirely, and not just a character. I don't exactly know what I become when I'm speaking French. It's weird.

[@english_with_aga]

I think many people experience this - I definitely have!

[@thebeanz6593]

Its scientifically proven that your personality changes when you speak another language

[@eboli7146]

I love this quote from Charlemagne: "when you speak another language, you possess another soul"

[@pablonicolasag]

when I speak English my pitch is higher than when i speak Spanish. When I speak Japanese it's lower. Don´t know why

[@oswincruz4031]

the same thing happen to me when I speak English I feel so confident but when I speak Spanish I become a shy person XD (Spanish is my first language tho, and I'm still learning English)

[@sebastianholstesn2385]

I'm learning Chinese and Japanese at the moment. I began learn Chinese about a year before Japanese which means I already knew a lot of Chinese characters. This, I found, makes it so much easier to learn Japanese because I already know quite a few of the kanji characters, which a lot of people struggle with when learning Japanese. So your tip about learning two languages definitely applies to my situation.

[@lyndaa7937]

I currently learning Japanese and Korean. But my Japanese is intermediate while my Korean is totally beginner so that's one tip I was already following.

[@english_with_aga]

Great! I hope this will help you with your studies going forward :) Are you using any particular resources for Japanese? I'm learning Japanese too so I'd be interested to know!

[@lyndaa7937]

I started in school using the "Genki" textbook. That was good for foundational knowledge and getting started. Now that I'm not in school I don't use it anymore. Now I've been using lang-8, memrise, guidetojapanese.org and Rikaichan. Lang-8 is good for having people check the things I write. I get my grammar corrected and learn words that may be better suited for what I was trying to say. I'm using memrise for vocabulary. I use guideto japanese.org for grammar. And Rikaichan is a great extension to be able to read Kanji when you don't have it. Like on Lang-8 I correct entries for people learning English and they have what they mean in Japanese underneath. But I don't know all that kanji so I'm able to use Rikaichan to read what they wrote even though I don't know all that Kanji but I understand the grammar. So as I use it while browsing the web or watching Japanese music video I kinda slowing get familiar with some Kanji and words. But yea these are my resources nothing too rigorous at the moment.

[@evenightshade565]

I am 37 years old and finding out what a polyglot was inspired me to continue what I left behind as a kid I picked up a few in Spanish and Greek, and in high school as a teen French I was not much of a class person, I guess not fighting in trying to find my legs and being bullies held me back, but I always loved learning languages and how contrary and cultures and travelling, then I gave it up for pride and my future now I am 37 years old I think it is about time before it is to late to try and continue where I left off from and continue it, and become a polyglot what I really wish I could be fluent in 50 language or more and enjoy them before I die.

Hi danielle im morroco. İ want to learn englich .. can you help me to practice it ?

[@mariaelenajimenez2683]

hi, great tips. My native language is English, my second, Spanish. I have been teaching myself Italian(c2 years) and Greek (c1 year). One thing that spanish, Italian and Greek have in common is that the pronunciation never changes unlike in English. As you know, English can be quite difficult. You think an /f/ is pronounced one way when bingo one comes across a /ph/ gh/ ough/ all pronounced like /f/ . Russian ( studied c1 year many years ago) is like sp,it,gr in that way, how you see it you read it, never changes! 😁 Once you learn the sounds and how to write the letters in Greek and Russian, that is half the battle. Presently, I would say I am an advanced intermediate with Italian and beginner with the Greek. I dedicate about 2-3 hours per day sometimes more to Italian doing DuoLingo, reading, writing, listening to music, watching Italian tv, etc. I do this in the morning in a room I call the " Italian" room ,😁. My Greek, I do in the evening, in my "Greek" room for c 1 hour listening to some very good audio Greek radio lessons that were online with transcripts, so I get to practice listening, reading and writing. Every few days my Greek American friend calls me so I can review with her and practice speaking. This routine has worked out quite well for me. And being retired, I have the time to do all this 😁One has to have the motivation and the discipline if one wants to embark on this most exciting journey, right??

[@english_with_aga]

Thank you for your comment Maria! You seem very determined and I'm sure you'll do well! :) And yes - I know what you mean about the changing pronunciation! I'm learning Japanese right now and the pronunciation can be very different depending on how a particular character is used. :P

[@mariaelenajimenez2683]

5-Minute Language wow Japanese. I heard that there are also different ways of saying the same thing to a man or a woman, right? Sayonara!! I like that Japanese is polysyllabic, correct?. easier to pronounce, I would imagine.

[@english_with_aga]

I've certainly found it quite easy to pronounce, compared with other languages I've learned. In terms of addressing different people - I'm not an expert on this yet but my understanding is that yes - there are different levels of formality/tone that you use with different people. If anyone can shed any light on this here - let me know!

[@eyespywithmylili]

Wahh!!! Can you give some good Greek resources? I am also planning on learning greek and I don't know what to listen to, what to read and any good resources. Thanks in advance!

[@NetAndyCz]

Yeah, modern English is really two languages in one, spoken English and written English are rather distinct languages now. Written English is kind of medieval English frozen in time while spoken English evolved quite a lot since then. On a side note, the rune "ᚦ" was trancribed differently into English, sometimes as "th" and sometimes as "y" (it was pronounced in both cases as th originaly), so in older English you can see "Ye" instead of "the" or "thou" which evolved into "you"

[@rogert.jewell5863]

Thank you for this. I am an English speaker who is currently learning Spanish, for work, and Japanese, for pleasure, and was concerned that I may be attempting to accomplish too much. You have reassured me that I am capable of this and helped with my organization. Thank you again!!!!

[@nicholesomething491]

Taking multiple languages at school helps. I had 3rd hour Japanese, 4th hour Spanish, and English 7th (my native language)

[@Αφροδιτη-ψ9ο]

It definitely helps but it depends a lot on the education system of the Country. For example in my country at school we take 2 languages,it's not an option you gonna have the classes neither you want it or not witch is actually good. In the first language you don't have an option : English and in the second you can choose between France and German . Also we start from a very young age , 3d grade of primary English ,3 hours per week ,but the class hour is 45minutes,5th grade France or German, 2 hours per week. The problem is that the system in learning sucks, a lot. You definitely gonna learn a lot more in a year at home by your self ,by songs or movies etc. than what you gonna learn in one year at school.

I started learning Mandarin the end of December in 2019. Yeah, so it's only been a few months of self study. I plan on taking Chinese as a college course this summer though. My motivation and inspiration, was mainly to watch Cdramas without English subtitles because after watching 59-60 episodes per drama, out of 9 dramas I got tired of reading English And just wanted to enjoy the show in it's entirety. I'm thinking of learning Korean at the same time because this language intrigues me just the same. I just wanted to see if it's possible and if it's been done by others 😊.

Hi all!

I practice English and I'm focusing on learning French as a beginner at the same time. Thanks for your advices, I'll consider to have different personalities to speak these foreign languages and I liked what you suggested , I won't study both languages in the same day. They are the ones that I consider as my week points.

Hi! It's my first time here. At the moment I'm studying English, because I need to learn English as soon as possible but I was thinking about to learn another language at the same time. I speak Spanish and Catalan, because I lived in Spain (Catalunya) 7 years and right now I would like to learn French too. My doubt is if this can be hurt my English learning (English is much more needed right now) or maybe even can be better, I mean, to learn another language, can help me to learn English as well. I forgot to mention that I speak Portuguese, of course, as my mother language.

I think to learn Slovakian languages the best way to start is to learn Slovak as a base, like in French, and Spanish and Italian being romance languages I can not remember the other romance languages so I would say English or French would be the base language which is my native language, I am not sure what you call the Hindi, Punjabi and Arabic, chinees and so on type languages so what ever those type of languages they are I would say if you choose the base the 1st language of those languages, the base languages of the Romance, Germanic, Slovakian and chinees and Greek and Hindi type language would help you learn other Romance, Germanic and Slovak and chinees type languages.

[@english_with_aga]

I'm glad you found it useful - thanks for watching! :)

[@jaykyung9177]

So good tips. By the way, my native language is Korean, and I am super beginner at Chinese. In this case, would it be effective to learn Chinese by watching youtube videos in 'English'? I think my English is at advanced level..:)

[@ibrahimmuhammad8154]

german - chinese - french - spanish - russian - english( i am b2).. so could you make these 6 languages as a three groups to learn two languages at the same time .. what is the best mix ? note: i do not know anything about the 5 languages ..

[@kennyjonespiquero4147]

I'm a Filipino and I'm learning Korean . I need a to learn vocabolary for Korean but I need to learn proper grammar for English . My Listening Comprehension in English Advance , but not that good in Speaking . In Contrast , I can speak Korean in Intermediate level , but frustrated in listening .

I'm learning 2 very different languages and living semi-permanently in one of the countries. Therefore literally every time I leave the house, I am forced to switch my brain into that language. On the other hand, I want to keep up with my other language, which I had studied for many years, but neglected due to needing to learn this new language. You mention in the video that it is not helpful to learn both languages on the same day, however for me regardless of the day I must at least speak my second language. Is there a productive way I can fit in my third language (the one I studied for many years)? For example, In the mornings I study that language, and in the evenings I study my new language? I'm interested in your ideas. Thank you.

[@asmaatawfek5625]

From my own personal experience it isn't that studying two languages in the same hour that makes you confuse the two languages. For example I learned English and Spanish at the same time. But I didn't study the vocabulary with my native language, I learned Spanish with English. Only sometimes I would mark a word in my notebook in my native language because it was a more accurate translation or description of the word at the time. What I had difficulties with, though, was confusing two languages that I was on a similar level on with each other. I started confusing Spanish and Chinese, although they have nothing in common just because I was on a similar level learning these two languages. When I tried to form a sentence in Spanish my brain would go back to Chinese vocabulary for some reason and I never studied them together. It was very frustrating for me. But I must also say that it was not yet possible for me to think in those languages. My level just wasn't high enough for that yet.

[@english_with_aga]

That's interesting! I've been studying Spanish and Japanese, and haven't had this problem because I find that because the languages are so different from each other, it's hard for my brain to get confused. But then everyone is different and the same methods won't work for every single language learner! Good luck with your language studies!

[@villanelleveeeee]

thats what happened to me with japanese and korean

[@actualfrenchie3235]

I absolutely HAVE TO know more than one language, being in europe without more than one language under your belt would be very hard!

[@english_with_aga]

Good luck!

[@Enoc63]

I’ve developed an obsession with wanting to learn many languages ASAP but I know that it’s not realistic and that sucks lol but I hope to expand my languages in time

[@yugitsukasa9520]

I'm learning Arabic and Japanese. After I get fluent at both I want to learn Korean and possibly Maderian! After that I'll see :D

[@english_with_aga]

Amazing, I wish you all the best!

[@yugitsukasa9520]

@@english_with_aga Thank you!!

[@angelanaemi8468]

Hi my first language is Persian and my second language is English and I’m trying to learn Turkish and Arabic at the same time when you said for the languages not to be similar to each other is Turkish and Arabic similar to each other

[@tabijozwick]

Turkish and Arabic are in two totally different language families. Turkish is part of the Turkic language branch of Indo-European languages while Arabic is a Semitic language.

Me gustó mucho eso de tratar de imitar a un personaje o ser otra persona, me parece una muy buena idea. Gracias por tus consejos, por ahora estoy aprendiendo inglés y ruso, por supuesto, en inglés tengo más ventaja que en ruso puesto que en el segundo soy principiante... También desde mi punto de vista, la disciplina lo es todo, incluso antes que la motivación, porque bueno, no todos los uno se siente con ganas y motivado, pero si tienes disciplina aunque tengas flojera debes de estudiar ese idioma. Me fascinan los idiomas suenan tan hermosos, ahhhh, también me gustaría aprender "idiomas locales" de mi país como: Azteca, nahuatl, otomi, Maya y otros. Gracias, y cuídense gente. Buena suerte a todos, y ojalá aprendan todos los idiomas que quieran... 😀😀 Y a disfrutar la vida tal cual.

[@tremiliques3]

Loved the tips! I'm just afraid that building personas can sound a little bit offensive when you talk to natives on that languages. Does that makes sense?

[@english_with_aga]

I can see what you mean! The reason I think it's a useful technique is because it helps you create connections in your memory by associating certain thoughts and images with each other. It doesn't necessary mean that you have to believe that a stereotypical French, etc. person is a certain way. It's just a technique that's meant to help you with your learning. I understand your concerns, though!

[@martinschmelzle4864]

I have a question: I'm currently at B2 in language A and A1 level in language B. Would you recommend studying language B using materials that are written in language A? Or would that make everything worse?

[@shami5enwow]

I'm a native English speaker, and intermediate at Japanese and want to learn Spanish (Mexican dialect) but I'm having trouble cause these languages are so different from each other, especially socially lol

[@assemyossef4506]

Useful tips ❤️

[@english_with_aga]

Glad you found them useful! Thanks for watching :)

[@AnhAnh-wl2xw]

Hello. Thanks for a great video! I'm Vietnamese. I'm learning English and French. My English is so OK but I am a beginner in French. I usually learn French vocabulary and put the English meaning beside. Is my way good?

[@english_with_aga]

It's definitely a good idea to use one language you know to learn another language. Have you also tried writing down French vocabulary with French definitions? I find it useful :)

[@AnhAnh-wl2xw]

5-Minute Language For example: "School = Where teach students about many things" Is it right? (I can't make a good sentence in French)

[@english_with_aga]

Yes - that's the idea! They can be very basic sentences - that way you can practise a little bit of writing as well!

[@CJ-vk8fk]

I’m English and learning Vietnamese. Xin chào!

[@briannahebert295]

Good idea! Now I'll do my German lessons and put the translation in Spanish from now on! Hopefully I'll get it lol

[@VenalesM]

Guys! I've learned English a while ago; Want to learn German (I have beginner level) and I know next to nothing of Chinese (Mandarin, knowing only the numbers) . Is there any advice particularly related to the time I must spend on each, and the specific input (listening, reading, writing, etc.)? (I have lots of German and Chinese films to watch) Bytheway, my native language is Spanish (Venezuela)

[@wafaben1598]

thank u So much for this

[@madelynnjane4827]

My native language is English but I have been studying Korean a lot but recently I had to take Spanish in school so I decided I wanted to learn both

[@english_with_aga]

Amazing, I hope you manage to combine the two!

[@kaarthikaas1286]

[@akshay5406]

Can i learn German and Spanish at the same time??

[@DaniArt]

I’m learning English and Italian.

[@english_with_aga]

Brilliant - good luck!

[@mahakarzoun6213]

thank you so much for the useful tips. my current condition is I live in Danmark ( i am an Arab) and study high school danish class and at the same time, I have English as a higher level. the teacher and the student use both languages at class. I feel like both of the languages are having a bottle inside my head,( for example, I remember the Danish word when I need the English one when speaking and the vise verse) and I also became worse in English without a real improvement in Danish. how can I balance both languages or at least maintain the levels without mixing up or losing one to another? sorry for the long comment ^-^
