💌 about me: my name is Elysse, I'm 22 years old from the southern U.S. I've been learning languages for about 8 years, and I speak English (native), Spanish (C2), German (B2/C1), Portuguese (B2), French (B1/B2), American Sign Language (advanced), and Turkish (A1). I'm interested in learning Hebrew, Chinese, Georgian, and maybe Náhuatl as well :)

It’s very hard to make mistakes because it hurts. I try to be as less perfectionist as possible.

[@poprostuszczepanski7683]

Schools often dosen't help because of focusing on punishing for mistakes. For example by giving negative grades which is usually something that you want avoid no matter what because "your future is at stake" or at least that's how it looks in Poland. How school systems (I mean especially grading system) look in your countries? Edit: maybe rating system is more correct but I have no idea in this situation... Sorry for makeing some people's ayes bleed, lol

[@lukeodubhda]

definitely make a video about thinking in a new language! that would be very interesting i find translating literally better for learning, but you also have to remember the non-literally nuances like you say at the end

[@audylu5681]

I have made all 5 of these mistakes in my Spanish learning journey! Especially the tendency to translate in my head. Would love a whole video dedicated to that topic. Thanks!

[@mollywelsh9395]

Annnddd the angel elysse has blessed us with another video to step up my language learning gameee!! Thanks honey for calling out on my baseless random language learning goal. I will definitely try to structure my learning routine and be a bit more specific with my approach... Lots of love! Also can you make a video regarding how to manage the listening , reading, writing and speaking skills of a language, like I'm learning German and it's pretty hard to find a balance between them

[@Theintroverted_traveler]

I need to do this vocab one

[@Andrecivicc]

Well. While Elysse records the video at midnight, I watch it at midnight after a LL session. My biggest mistake, for the record, was to take for granted writing, which is such a powerful tool to enhance other aspects of a language, like vocabulary, by searching for synonyms.

[@consistencyiskey_]

"12 at night in the morning." I love that! Haha!

[@sheeliekittie9298]

Hi dear Elysse! I would like your advice on German grammar, if you can offer some suggestions. I find it is definitely difficult... am I just too dumb or something >.< How do you keep these rules together, it's the most difficult language I've encountered in terms of grammar ( well....aside from Polish and Hungarian but I gave up on those! ) I'm taking a German class now and find the dative / akkusative changes to be so hard...well, any thoughts you have I'm glad to hear!

Hi! If you want to improve your Spanish, my recommendation like a native is: you should listen music as Chilanga banda by Cafe tacvba, La Dosis Perfecta by Panteón Rococo and Triste Adiós by Inspector. Barrio’s music!!

Speaking of the intermediate plateau, there aren't enough KZbin videos out there about it + how to get through it! I've currently hit it in Japanese, and would really appreciate any tips you may have

[@soloespanol8295]

If it's too hard for you to stop being a perfectionist then try seeing it this way: Every type of personality will have an upper hand or advantage related to achieving one the 4 primary virtues, Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortitude (Courage). Perfectionists tend to achieve Prudence easier but not Courage, while in Extroverts/Care-free people the opposite happens. _Saludos linda._

[@phgillon2614]

Elysse, I wanted in this 2023 to thank you enormously for having, amongst only a few people in the world, to reconnect to learning foreign languages and using them! I am a father, husband, grandfather, work and train so, learning languages will take more time and juggling that someone being single or/and has not got a family to raise. But such a can do! I am on my way later to re-learn some German to relax (am putting Hebrew aside for now) as I adore its history, plays, Germanic disporas, Germany/Austria/Swiss cultures etc... Pourquoi choisir l'allemand kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6S7mphnqMaDabs L' allemand dans le monde - Karambolage - ARTE kzbin.info/www/bejne/mpfMemuubq-Zbas Pero, ahora, ¿cuál es mi objetivo para los próximos dos años Ma langue maternelle est le français, je parle aussi couramment l'anglais et l'américain (car j'ai vécu plus de 12 ans aux Etats-Unis d'Amérique et 22 ans en Grande-Bretagne, toute ma petite famille étant anglaise). Je suis en train de rafraîchir mon niveau B1 de mon espagnol mexicain (même un peu costaricien et espagnol guatémaltèque) à un niveau plus élevé à atteindre comme niveau C! L'espagnol mexicain est très différent du français, en termes de prononciation et de verbes, ainsi que de vocabulaire mexicain (que j'adore) : mais j'ai bien l'intention de l'apprendre ! El inglés es un buen idioma para conocer, pero no lo suficientemente bueno ahora como para abrir de inmediato puertas comerciales/educativas/culturales/artesanales a países que no hablan inglés como primera o segunda lengua oficial. Además de que el Brexit de Gran Bretaña y muchos trumpistas siguen siendo extremistas, la gente en el mundo está empezando a usar menos inglés y a cambiar cuando puede al francés, portugués, ruso, español, etc... ya comenzó desde 2021. Además, el inglés es bastante limitado para expresar algunas emociones o sentimientos, así como el lenguaje de los debates. Me gusta más el español mexicano (y algunos latinoamericanos) que el español de España (este último me parece muy rápido de tempo y los sonidos son menos suaves que los del español latinoamericano). Además, las palabras o expresiones mesoamericanas del español mexicano son simplemente divertidas. También me atraen la historia y el folclore de las Américas. Especialmente la civilización maya y tanto la olmeca Merci Elysse de m'avoir inspiré à utiliser mes quelques langues étrangères pour ouvrir beaucoup plus de "portes" diplomatiques, d'échanges culturels, de logistique internationale et même de commerce holistique qu'en utilisant principalement une seule langue ! En outre, si nécessaire, je peux faire appel à un/une interprète local pour obtenir des informations privilégiées ou cachées. Pascal phdgillon.mmm.page/main

[@littlekelley98]

Yes, please do a video about not translating everything in your head. I lived in Germany for one year (I'm in an English speaking PhD program) before I realized that people actually THINK in their other language. Now that I'm aware that I'm supposed to think in my target language, I don't know how to make myself do that.

[@KingsKeep]

The best way to do that is to start to literally think of what you see in that target language. For example, if you see a slice of bread on a plate, think of bread in your target language instead of immediately thinking of the word in your native language. Apply the process of words you understand in your target language to all objects you see and verbs performed. Do this on a daily basis and you will soon hear yourself speaking in another language automatically.

[@keti.rg.editzzz]

You should emerse yourself in the language for instance listen to German music, watch movies in German, read books in German, and try only talking in German after awhile you will automatically think in German

[@KingsKeep]

@Keti.rg.editzzz This is a more concise explanation on how to achieve a target language 👍🏽

[@Izaltinodsouza]

Listening a lot audio book when you started to understand without effort, you will not translate in your head.
