The first video on my channel was a polyglot video I made in 2013, and 4 years later, the time has come for me to update. Some of my languages have improved, some have not, and some new ones have come along. I hope this inspires you on your language journey - I would love to hear what you're learning and how you learn!
I do not claim to be fluent in any of these languages: language learning is a lifelong journey and fluency is a construct. I just wish to share my love of languages with the world and I also make videos in various languages to track my progress over the years. I know I may have made some mistakes, so please correct me so we can all learn together! Enjoy and feel free to like and subscribe if you want to see more! Love you all!
2013년에 처음으로 외국어를 많이 하는 영상을 올렸는데, 실력이 많이 달라졌어요 (좋아진 언어 있는 만큼 못하게 된 언어도 많아요!). 4년후에, 드디어 새로운 "폴리글롯" 영상 올릴 시간이 됐네요. 이 10개 국어를 유창하게 하지 못하지만, 다 배우고 있어요. 실수 있으면 부담 없이 고쳐주세요! 여러분은 외국어를 어떻게 부담없이 궁금해서, 꼭 댓글 남겨 주세요! 이 영상 좋아하시면 구독해주셨으면 감사하겠습니다! 모두 사랑해요!!
四年前にはじめて外国語をたくさん話している動画をアップしたんですが、その時からもっと上手になった言語もあるし、めっちゃへたくなった言語もあるんですね。今、やっと新しい「ポリーグロット」動画をアップします！もちろんこの外国語を全部ペラペラではないけど、全部頑張って勉強しています。みんなさんの外国語の勉強についても気になりますが、ぜひコメントをしてくださいね！もし間違いがあると、教えてください！みんな大好き！
Ek wil nou regtig nie in elke taal die selfde tipe inleiding skryf nie, maar dit is seker belangrik om my husitaal ook hier te hê. Afrikaanse mense, ek sien julle!! :D

Right now I'm trilingual with English being my native language and Korean and Mandarin Chinese being my other two. I am learning Hindi now and seeimg you speaking all those other interesting and different languages is exciting and inspiring! Thank you for making this! I plan on learning Japanese too since there is a lot of similarities betweem Japanese and Korean as you've said

yeah it all has to do with intonation and pronunciation

[@miyokio]

Honestly you develop a different personality almost when you speak another language, your voice absolutely has to change when you speak different languages!! I kinda feel shy about it honestly like I’m making fun of the people who speak the language, but I know its the right thing to do if you want to be understood

[@TheGabygael]

Same with French: She still has enough of an accent to feel that she's not a native speaker but she doesn't make most grammar mistakes most foreigner (and most french speakers as well to be honest) make and the way she pronounces her EUHs is incredibly spot on, it's the most parisian sounding euh I've heard in my entire life^^ EDIT: I'm Belgian so I'm used to hearring Flemish people speak french and I was expecting her as an Afikaans speaker to have some type of Dutch-like accent but she sounds vaguely Russian to me

After learning this much languages I would forget my original language 😂😂

[@TaehunSeong.]

lol

[@alex73217]

I forgot all of my German when I was in the US for a bit during an exchange year in highschool (it had been declining before that as well, cause all my freetime was english books/movies/internet etc and then it moved to thinking/ dreaming in english as well. When I was in the US i could not use German. (Passively understanding was fine of course) I once had to write an email for example. I couldn't remember the simplest words. After 30 min staring at the screen I wrote it in English and put it through a translator. I also couldn't talk to my little sister for example, cause she didn't speak English yet. My german was completely gone and after returning to Germany it took me a few months to become reasonably fluent again. But since I still mainly think in English my German is a bit weird nowadays and I quite often don't know words. And thats just 2 languages xD (I needed a second foreign language for 5 years to qualify for high school graduation, but I took Latin and never paid attention and was always just barely above failing, so that doesn't count.) I am learning Chinese now though... cause I am doing a gap hear teaching English in Kindergarten in China. My Chinese definitely isn't as good as hers. It is good enough to order food...

Lindie Botes HOW DO YOU LEARN LANGUAGES ESPECIALLY "CONNECTOR" WORDS LIKE IN, THE, AT ETC HOW DO YOU ASSOCIATE WORDS WITH THINGS THAT ARE SAID PLS RESPOND

[@hughmungus99]

you can just look up words that are "connector" words. Every language has them and they are an essential part to sounding like a natural speaker if you want to learn it properly. I don't speak any japanese but I always her the word "ano" and figured it was a "connector" word. In english there is so, anyway, um, uh, as i was saying, by the way, etc. and in french there is euh, mais, alors, si, genre, en tout cas, quand même, d'abord, soit, ou, etc.

[@lore_nza]

Melissa Schmitz that's what i do for english! You simply have to associate concepts and images to words and speaking just comes naturally after some practice!

[@lius9902]

It's not hard but it ain't easy to learn another language. I'm bilingual and currently in the process of studying Korean. Learning is like a hobby. You need to have passion and dedication. It makes it more fun and less of a pain to study. Spend whatever amount of time you think fit to study that certain language. You don't have to study every day, but you need to keep your schedule consistent. Don't give up and keep learning. Language isn't just a language, it's culture. The way you speak, your tone and expression are a part of that language. You learn how to behave in that certain culture and new things. Always ask for help from others and be open minded. You'll be able to speak, write and listen to a language fast. Edit: I'm also planning to study abroad in Korea. It'll be a challenge and really out of my comfort zone. But I know I won't regret making this decision later on.

Your Korean and Japanese pronunciation are amazing! Indonesian may seem easy at first, but even the natives struggle with it on college-level education because we normally speak our own local language outside of formal settings.

[@kokos1209]

I am Serbian and this is so relatable. Serbian is extremely difficult even for native speakers and you'll never hear a native speaker tell a totally grammatically correct sentence lol. The worst part is that majority of people don't even realize they are making grammar mistakes because they have been speaking that way their whole life and nobody really cares if you make grammar mistakes so I guess that's a plus for foreigners who want to learn Serbian. Also, vocabulary waries a lot from region to region. Sometimes even me, a native speaker can't understand what another native speaker is saying.

[@alifrahimi4701]

If they speak local languages, that probably means their native languages are their local languages, NOT Indonesian, most Indonesians don't speak Indonesian natively

[@Punyulada]

I think what a lot of non-maritime Southeast Asians do not realise (not sure about Malaysia, but definitely true about Indonesia and the Philippines) is that Bahasa Indonesia and Filipino are not languages majority of the population natively speak -- most people in these two countries are native speakers of a local language (as I am, I speak a local language of Sumatra as my native language) and the "national language" is a lingua franca intended to serve as an intermediary language people in the country use to communicate with each other especially when their native languages are so divergent. Add to this that the Indonesian side of my family has not lived in Indonesia in a few generations, and my Bahasa Indonesia functional skill is virtually non-existent: I can understand both written formal and informal Indonesian to a certain extent, but actually speaking it? Udah.

The collection of languages you've learned is really interesting.

You're definitely one of my new favorite polyglots.

OHP77 The commercial resources are even less, so it is more impressive. At least she is a polyglot who will speak in the different languages. Unlike other KZbin polyglots who will say a couple phrases and then the rest of the entire video is in English. There are some suspicious ones to likely frauds, but it is KZbin.

But great work even I want to achieve her level of fluency in korean and Japanese.

I really appreciate how she it's clear she isn't just reading a script. She is stumbling over her words a bit just like you do in real conversation and even though she's not perfect at each language, you can tell she has a good understanding of each one enough to get her thoughts across. Honestly, that's goals

Probably because I love that one so much that I want to be perfect at it.. which as a consequence makes me really shy in conversations and holds me back from progressing faster!

[@AnAmericanlinguist]

You haven't lost your French. I know how hard it is to monologue and you seemed like a natural (yes it's clear you're a foreigner but that's normal!). Impressive talent. I've been trying to learn Mandarin and Japanese now for several years and I'm still at beginner/low intermediate, so I know the amount of work you must have put into all those languages! Really a labor of love. Keep up the good work and keep enjoying it!

[@LindieBotes]

That's very reassuring, thank you! I think I have all the vocab in my brain somewhere, it just takes a while to "fetch" the word if I'm having a conversation. In reverse, when someone is speaking to you first, it's a lot easier. I must say learning Japanese was not as much as a challenge because its grammar is similar to Korean, but Chinese is and was most certainly tough because of the tones. I'm quite visual so Hanzi, though still tricky, isn't as much a huge mountain for me. Pronunciation on the other hand...!!!

You should definitely try Spanish! One of the most wide-spoken languages and it gives you a break from pronunciation! Similar to English and French (more so French), in many ways however it is easier than both of those languages.

Well which languages you see as those "languages" you're talking about and which ones you see as more niche languages that are more appreciated by people who are interested in different cultures depends on what environment you're coming from. I think if you listen to some of her life story that she shared on KZbin it sounds like she learned languages like Indonesian and Vietnamese because those were the "languages" that you were talking about to her. Though, I could be wrong, and as you said every one of these people are impressive.
