The mere fact that you put in the effort to put subtitles for a variety of languages just comes to show you're a hard worker. Not to mention you'll attract a larger audience this way from around the globe.

As a native spanish speaker I can say some things about the spanish language , a spanish speaker can understand 89% of portuguese, and also the other way around , a portuguese speaker can understand 89% of spanish , these two languages are complementary, if you know spanish you can master portuguese in 6 months and perfect 9 months aprox.Spanish is a good choice is the 2 most spoken language after chinese mandarin, congratulations for your 100k.

Hi Zoe! Thank you for answering my questions! I was very excited to see that part! You’re truly inspiring! I found your channel when I was searching for tips for learning several languages, and I was deeply impressed by your story and tips (how you learned four languages at the same time! ) I’m learning Spanish and Portuguese at the moment, and having exactly same thoughts that one day I’m going to visit or even live in South America. I love the nomadic lifestyle same as you, currently live in Québec, just keep in mind, you have a big fan here! Hopefully one day we can meet in person and speak French or English or Chinese together ❤️ Keep sharing and keep motivating more languages lovers! Bring the world together through languages! So proud of you! ❤️

I'm really glad to hear you mention in a little more detail the differences between your spoken Chinese dialect and Mandarin. in my language learning journey I got to the point where I'm like okay, I know English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and I needed a different challenge from a romance language. based on contact with cultures and the population in Canada, I felt I had the choice between either Arabic or Mandarin. I decided to go with Mandarin and it's been 4 months now. I know I need to work harder but I've learned probably upward of 200 characters so far. your videos have helped me to make a plan according to my language learning goals. thanks so much! 谢谢。shoukran 🤗

Civilized is a strange word to describe a population, I'm an Anthropology student and even a professor advice me to not use the word civilization due to some negative connotatios. I wonder why did you feel the need to use that word. I hope nobody refers to Kurdish people as savage, that would be so sad.

"And sometimes we don't do things because they are useful, but because they are enjoyable." Absolutely! I lost count of how many times I've been told learning a language is "useless" because "English is so common these days" and there isn't a lot of diversity where I live. But never once did anyone stop to think that maybe the reason I learn different languages is simply because I enjoy it! No other need to do something. No grand scheme on what I'm going to use my language skills for. I just enjoy learning a language and then in turn, enjoy media content in that language.

Hello dear, I hope you are well To learn Kurdish, its good to know that Kurdish and Persian both have common roots and are branch of Iranian (iranic) languages, so learning Kurdish will not be difficult for you, especially in grammar and vocabulary! But as you said, Kurdish has several dialects that are sometimes very different, the Sorani and southern dialects that are often spoken in Iran are closer to Persian, but the Kurmanji dialect is also a little more difficult due to its grammar and gender segregation in grammer You probably know this beforehand, but if you dont know, I told you to consciously choose the dialect you want 💕😘می‌بوسمت
