I took 5 C1-C2 language exams in a year.

[@iclaliano]

hey everyone! thank you all so much for being with me on this journey! the past 6 months have been super challenging, but this was a one-time commitment that I know will pay off for the rest of my life. the process itself was far from being smooth, and now it feels like all those years of hard work are finally paying off! I want to take a moment to thank everyone who supported me during this. your encouragement and support means so much to me! this year brought a lot of challenges. along the way I lost so many people I once loved and appreciated, I realised I didn’t have as many friends as I imagined, and even some fellow polyglots cut me off. it wasn’t easy to experience, but at the end it taught me a valuable lesson: you don’t need people in your life who won’t stand by you or who feel threatened by your success. the world is full of kind, ambitious, and supportive souls, and I’m beyond grateful to have some of them here cheering me on! for anyone feeling stuck or doubting themselves, I hope this reminds you that hard work pays off, even after years. I know it doesn’t feel easy, but keep trying, surround yourself with people who believe in you, and don’t let negativity and jealousy hold you back. thank you for being a part of this and I hope this video gave you a little boost of motivation as we head into 2025! ❤

How did you get the finance to take those exams?

[@danielalmiro6072]

5 Language exams in a year... That is insane!!! I cannot even imagine how hard it was to keep focused all this time. You are such an inspiration. Greetings from Brazil.

[@languagespedro]

As a person who has learned 8 languages myself, I can guarantee you that taking 5 advanced exams in A SINGLE YEAR and passing all of them (hopefully) is a bigger achievement. I do not think I could possibly do it, to be honest. I was shocked when I saw you were actually going to do this and all I have to say is that you are a true inspiration pulling this through and documenting the whole process. I appreciate how you told the story thoroughly and talking about the ups and the downs, because not many people show the negative part of their success. Personally, I'm struggling a lot with my attention. Social media and other influences have really started to affect my cognitive skills and I remember my focus was much brighter when I took the English C1 exam back in 2020. The fact that you have done this really makes me get out of my conformism and study again, because language learning is a true passion of mine and I don't want it to gradually stop learning as intensively as I used to do. Life happens and as I get older, I tend to prioritize other stuff, but seeing your perspective, I'm simply throwing in the towel when I know I've been up for harder challenges in the past. Thank you very much, keep it up and no matter how big imposter syndrome can feel like sometimes, your achievements vouch for who you are and what you have done in life. In dieser schnell ändernden Welt, scheint es, als ob nur Resultate zeigen was du bist. Не забывайте, что вы хотя бы вдохновили человека. Muchas gracias por el vídeo y por la inspiración!

IS a big lie bro )) TOTTAL BULLSHIT))

[@palmacate]

Public law exam, diritto pubblico, the nightmare of all (native) Italian students, and you passed it with 26/30, right after a language exam! You are amazing girl ❤️

[@alamut8563]

Being a native Russian speaker I was puzzled by the complexity of the Russian language test! It seems ridiculously hard! Kudos to you Iclal. I share your passion for language learning and specifically I am a fan of language exams ;) My language achievements are modest: I have "only" C1 in English, German and Spanish. I am hoping to obtain C1 in French in 2025. I am 32 y.o and I am thrilled that people like yourself could achieve a lot at a very young age. You are my role model for language learning. I hope to meet you one day and speak to you in a bunch of languages! Cheers!

[@o_o9039]

lol im learning russian idc about any tests my end goal is to be able to speak to native russians and they wont be able to tell im not russian and im hoping less than 3 years i study on average like 2-3 hours a day mostly using comprehensible input. Also reason why i dont care is because as a native english speaker who btw i have a very above average level of english for a native (according to the tests ive done) and i barely got C2 but thats with over a decade of formal english study 😂

[@spoonerboy6281]

Finally a polytuber showing prophency in languages without vanity and discipline!

[@fangirlinneverland6335]

I feel like crying watching this. I recently also had a thing with my best friend and it hurted me deeply... you transforming all of your pain into an achievement which seemed so impossible and like something unreachable,just shows how powerful you are. You had a goal,you sticked to it no matter what. What a tenacious spirit. I genuinely feel so proud of you. You did an amazing job🫶🏻 now not only your amazing language skills motivate me to be better at languages but your emotional intelligence makes me want to be better version of myself too Thank you for existing and being you,this video was so comforting💖

[@chevalblanc2393]

I also noticed the frontal lobe explosion. Learning multiple languages speeds up your brain in ways you couldn’t imagine. Your achievements are truly incredible. You let us dream big. Polyglott-Queen!

[@MariaLea12345]

before watching the video, thank you so much. You motivated me to learn a new language (italian), it has been one year and I already can understand a lot of italian and I already read 8 books in this language. You are so amazing!

[@user-xw8tu6iz1i]

Congratulations , this is amazing !

[@Yorecore]

i just wanted to say that you are the most genuine and honest polyglot i've ever seen!! and i'm not exaggerating. you're so relatable to me as someone who watches your videos. As a polyglot, i also struggle with inconsistency and burnouts whenever i learn a language, and i'm glad that you show that the path to fluency has never been easy. keep going iclal!!! we love you!!

[@vladimiralvarado9145]

Amazing accomplishment. I took a C1 exam in French and fell short by half a point. I did not prepare much at all, because I was very insecure about my oral production. It turns out I did well in that portion. I am much older than you, but your discipline shows and you have inspired me to try C1 in two of my languages next year. My head has not been in the right place for about three years, but learning languages has kept sane.

[@v4mpirsk4]

i remember when a year ago, i started learning russian and i wanted some tips on it. i checked on youtube and found you. since then, you are my biggest inspiration, and i even consider you my authority. you helped me with my russian a lot, and now i think im a solid A2. im so glad youre happy now and i hope youll never question your talent and work again.

[@v4mpirsk4]

i fucking cried all along the video, because of my pure empathy and proudness of you.

[@v4mpirsk4]

i wish you the best

[@o_o9039]

How much do u study per day? And are you using comprehensible input method?

[@Migrant2008]

Türkçe yazmak istedim. Arkadaşlarınla yaşadığın şeyi kendimden empati yaparak tahmin edebiliyorum. 40 yaşına yaklasmjs bir insan olarak tavsiyem insanlarin seni ve başarılarını baskilamasina seni oldugundan daha küçülmeye ya da öyle görünmeye zorlamasina izin verme. Seni kiskancligiyla hasetle baskilamaya calisan insanlardan direk uzaklaş. Hicbirsey yapamasalar nazar değerler. Ve basarili insanlarin cok arkadasi olmaz bunu kabul etmek lazım. Sana giptayla bakma pozisyonunda olan degil senin takdirle bakma pozisyonunda olduğun, senden bi adim önde insanlarla arkadaslik yapmaya çalış. Onlar senin daha da büyümene vesile olur. Ama diğerleri kendileri istemese de kıskanır bununla başetmeye çalışmıyor ve kıskançlığını farkli sekillerde bariz ediyorsa da arkadaşlığa değmez. Ayrica arkadas o kadar da önemli birsey değilmiş. Ben de yaklaşık 30 yillk arkadasim beni bir günde satınca anladım. Insan başta üzülüyor ama guzel bir ailen destek olan ileride senin başarılarınla gurur duyan bir eşin guzel çocukların olduğunda giden arkadaşların hayatindan hicbirsey eksiltmedigini görürsün. Cok da gerekli değillermiş dersin, hatta daha cok okumana daha cok bilgiye zaman ayirmana vesile olur bu insanların hayatından çıkması... dikkate bile almiyorum ben artik. Umarim daha guzel arkadaslarin, senin kapasiteni genişletmene vesile olacak kendileri de başarılı gercek Arkadaşların olur..❤

[@hogsanmele2617]

Im so glad i came across your channel a couple years ago because you have been my biggest inspiration when it comes to language learning(i also have been struggling with some personal problems and thus neglegting my language learning, but seeing you also struggled but instead focused on your goals is so inspiring). You are by far the best polyglot on youtube bc you are genuine and realistic. You dont give out meaningless, generic advice to people, you always mention that the most important thing is self discipline and hardwork which is so true, just look at how much youve achieved. Anyways, sorry for the long comment, just wanted to say that your content and journey is so inspiring to us and thank you for that

i can't even begin to imagine the genius-ness that is your brain! girl! xoxo. i was feeling like, lately what is the point because i don't think i make any progress with language, but you have absolutely re-inspired me - it's alll about our effort and hard work that pays off in the end. it's hard for example, as i don't have time at the moment to put into the languages - as much as i want - because i have work and other exams to prepare for. but maybe its okay, after all languages are not going away and i'll be able to get back to them eventually!

I’ve seen your videos on different platforms and I’ve always been so proud(coming from a random stranger, I know).

Selam iclal! Privileged konusunda sana katılıyorum. Bütün bunları büyük bir çaba ile kendin için yarattın ve evet kesinlikle gurur duymalısın. İnsanlar büyük resme bakmayı reddediyor ve seni kendileriyle dibe çekmeye çalışıyorlar. Umarım güçlü kalmaya devam edebilirsin🫶🏻 Ben de istanbul üniversitesinde Arap dili ve edebiyatı hazırlık okuyorum. Bu sene arapça öğreniyoruz. Bunun yanı sıra kendi kendime italki dersleri ile destekleyerek fransızca öğreniyorum. İngilizce zaten bildiğim bi dil ileri seviye. Son bir haftadır arapça ve Fransızca konusunda az bi motivasyon düşüklüğü yaşıyordum. Bu videoyu izlemek bana çok iyi geldi. İlham ve güç verdi. Bugün bir arapça konuşma kulübünün buluşması var. Her hafta gidiyorum. Sonrasında eve dönünce italkide bi buçuk saatlik bir arapça dersim var. Ve motivasyon eksikliği hissettiğimden dolayı stresliyim dünden beri ama seni görmek, dinlemek kendimin daha da farkına varmamı sağlıyor. Seviyelerim iyi, sadece ucundan imposter sendrom hissediyorum ve bu da gerçek değil dediğin gibi. Bu yüzden şu an daha istekli ve rahat hissediyorum bugünkü ders ve dil buluşmalarıma karşı. Sana da anlatmak istedim bunu, umarım youtube a devam edersin. Merakla bekliyorum yeni videolarını.🫶🏻🧿
