Remind yourself about the benefits of learning this language, That will motivate you. Read this quote out load every day ‘’If some professional in something remember he/she was beginner’’

I’m Brazilian and when I was 7 years old I had a dream, I dreamed that I was living in New York and I could speak English fluently, after that I started study English by myself. I don’t know if were a fate or whatever, today I live in New York City and I am so happy for it! If you have a dream or want to achieve your goals never give up!

[@sarban1653]

Haha nice, hope you're having a good time. Fellow New Yorker here, I'd to visit Brazil someday.

[@alwaysuseless]

I'm an American. The first week of German in college I fell in love with the language, and I had a dream that I was somewhere in Germany and was talking fluently in German with lots of people. I was so surprised that I could do this, and it was so much fun! Life is full of distractions, and at the time I was actually pursuing a degree in mathematics. I didn't become fluent in German at that time, and you might think that since I wasn't using German very much after I took those classes, I would lose the German I had learned. But because I was relatively young and was enthusiastic, I've actually retained the German I had learned. So now that I have more time, I'm essentially starting from where I left off. I've also become enamored with Spanish. So at some point, after I find I'm more fluent in conversing in German, I'll start seriously learning Spanish. Can a senior citizen become a polyglot? I think it's harder when you're older, but if you enjoy it, I don't see why not.

@Jabali Since I also speak some Spanish, find it very beautiful, and live in California, where a lot of Spanish is spoken, that will be the next language I focus on. Then since I already know some French, that will probably come next. I believe in becoming at least somewhat fluent, perhaps level B2, before starting another language. Mandarin is a really hard language for a native English-speaker. Let us hope that by the time I'm ready to undertake a 4th foreign language, there will be some places in China one can visit without having problems with air quality.

While I was watching this video I had goosebumps, I felt in a way that I can't explain with words. I felt somehow identified with everythign she was saying, and even made me cry out of nowhere, I mean it made my eyes watery. I absolutely loved this conference! Also what you need to learn a new language successfully is DISCIPLINE. One of the many reasons why I decided to start learning languages is because I wanted to travel all around the world and meet new people, their culture, the way they live and some other interesting things that we can't even imagine. I hope I'll be back when I turn 20 and tell you what other languages I've learned and what I've done.

[@-hondosolo4518]

my brother n law (from mexico) watched kung fu panda and other cartoons on vhs over and over with the spanish subtitles on. I've tryied this method and have thought about it a lot. I think after remembering what is being said (the meaning or context) during each scene, the foreign spoken language starts to come into focus. So it seems that hearing something in a foreign language over and over while first knowing it's meaning or message, the brain is better able to imprint it than in other methods. Maybe thats why its very easy to remember hello and goodbye and such in other languages, the message is well established before the sounds.

I loved this video, thank you very much for sharing it. It reminded me of those times when I didn't know nothing about English and after several attempts, I thought it would be impossible for me to learn it. Nowadays, seeing everything I've achieved, I'm glad I didn't pay attention to those bad thoughts that I had being an introvert person. Every day that passes I have more knowledge and I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who finds it complicated. And for all the people who see this comment, just keep working hard, set smart goals and most of all, enjoy the process, that one day you will be happy to see all that you have achieved.

Hey Denver! There are several ways! The simplest is the app “HelloTalk” (with mixed results). Then, you can look on meetup.com or search Facebook for language exchange events and go check them out. Some give you a flag as you arrive, and polyglots will have multiple flags visible once you get there. Other than that, just being social, making friends, and being open to meeting as many foreigners as you can, will make a world of difference. Good luck!

Taking time is the new motivation to learn English, because I put several thousands hours into English so far. If I gave up, it means it would waste time. My aspiration is to work and live abroad with my family. I know I will make it happen.

Great talk. 🤗 I’m a native Spanish speaker from Guatemala. I spent almost 6 years of my childhood trying to learn English until I got frustrated and quit to the language-learning process. Two years ago I decided to give it a shot again but, this time I was going to do something I didn’t do back in my childhood. I started by learning basic grammar stuff and watching my favorite Netflix shows with subtitles in English. After two years I can hold a fluent conversation with English native speakers, I understand almost everything I hear, I don’t need subtitles anymore, I’m able to understand sarcasm and to make jokes using it. I know I make mistakes, but who doesn’t? I’m working one more year on my English hoping to finally reach real proficiency. Then I might learn French, Italian or German. Who knows? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hello! My name is Sandry, I'm 17 years old, I'm from Colombia. What I learned from the video talk is that many times we underestimate ourselves and by doing this we leave aside learning new things, it is true when he said that we do not have to be geniuses to learn one or several languages ​​we just have to discover ways to enjoy the process of learning, we should not get carried away because it can be boring, on the contrary, each person can create their own method to learn and thus enjoy the experience while doing it, it can become something pleasurable. Although it is clearly about discipline, that there is a real desire to do it and not give up, this video gives me the reflection to start planning my time well and leave the fear and accept that if others can do it, I will do it. I will also be able to learn the languages ​​I want. Thank you.

Edit: It's been a year since I started, I still try to study every day. I'm at mid-intermediate to upper intermediate now. I watch lots of youtubers and listen to podcasts in my target language every day and it helps greatly in improving my listening and vocabulary, while practising speaking weekly with a native speaker.

She has reason when says “if you want to achieve fluency in a foreign language, you will also need to apply three more principles; effective methods, systems and patience”. Some people get bored because they only use the traditional model of learning a language, and because they don't get quick results, they give up. Other people, think only the grammar of the language is necessary to learn everything, but unfortunately not. While it’s important, there are other factors that you have to consider in the process. You should speak, hear and practise the language, and find the right way to do it. Very good content.

Day 2 Activity : podcasts and Netflix Instead of wasting time in Netflix I have decided to follow Breaking Bad in English. I have seen the first two episodes. To be sure, I have put the subtitles. Everything I will not understand will be written on paper. Also today I have heard two listening, one about cronic insomnia(a doctor has given some advices to sleep better) and the other one was about loneliness(I have understood loneliness is different from isolation). Isolation is meant strictly in terms of distance while you can feel lonely between the people. 6/12/2020 : due to the Covid situation I don't want to go out, it scares me pretty much. I spend my days studying, for the university and when I finish I continue my activities. I'm watching films and I have taken my first book, "The strange case of Dr. Jekyll(hope it's written correctly) and Mr Hyde. In the future I want to buy 1984 and Animal farm(a book about dictatorship). For the university I am analyzing Hitler's book, Mein Kampf and its influence on the social phenomenon of nazism. in the speaking it seems like native speakers are slower, I can comprehend everything they say.

[@simone222]

I'm from the Philippines and my native dialect is Kapampangan. Gradually, I learned the national language which is Tagalog or Filipino mainly by watching television. By some happy happenstance, I became playmates with children next-door (house next-door was for lease back then) whose parent/s is/are nationals of foreign countries. These children only conversed in English and that was my first introduction to and the beginning of my fascination with an alien language that is English. To communicate effectively with them, I daily-read a thick old picture dictionary with sample sentences. Eventually, my English skills were honed as I began schooling esp. with the constant verbal intelligence tests administered to me until I graduated from high school. When I was ten, I heard a lovely Japanese song on the radio and I fell in love with the language. Later on, I fell in love with French. It was purely self-study with Japanese and French until I was given an opportunity later on in my adult life to live/work in Japan and France in which I was constrained to regularly converse in Japanese and French with nationals of these countries until I gradually became proficient in these languages. Another language I had mastered is Spanish. Presently, I'm stunted in my study of Greek and Bulgarian. As emphasised by the speaker, passion and joy are indeed essential in learning a new language (and other endeavours). And, as much as possible, become immersed in an environment wherein you have to regularly speak the foreign language of your choice. All the best in your journey towards learning a new language! 👍🌸

Hello! I´m Geraldine. I'm 18 years old and I´m Colombian. I think that when listening to the Coach, it is fascinating how Polyglots look for different ways that are fun for them to learn languages by doing things they like, like cooking. In this way they do this task in a more comfortable way and not in the typical boring way.

I really smiled when I heard the Harry Potter example. I was visiting my in-laws in Poland (I'm a Dane speaking, Danish, German and English almost from my childhood) and I saw that my nephew had a Polish version of Harry Potter lying in his room, and asked if I could read while staying there. Great book - also in Polish :)

the way I relate to this so much I'm a slow learner but I love, love learning languages Just the thought of being able to let multiple languages flow on the tip of my tongue makes me feel a sense of achievement The light in her eyes when she talks about learning languages made me feel something resonate in me to work harder

[@eliasbernardes6422]

Many people here pointed out about her voice and I totaly agree with, her voice is so good I can listen for hours. There is some years that I have been learning english and a just started to learn german, I have been figured out what work for me, I've leanerd a lot and keep in the way to achieve the fluency.

My favourite method is watching videos. I like listen and repeat after native speakers.

My dad told me "you are not good speaking another languages" when I was 20 Years old. Today I'm 35. I speak 5 languages studying with love and hapiness for years. And yes, my father is an idiot.

Learning another skills in general tends to be a little bit difficult at the beginning, but once we recognize our improvements the enjoyment starts. I’ve been learning English two years ago by writing a daily memos, and I still do. it’s very helpful method, cause I can see my improvement. Also, watching Ted videos and ALOT of English series help too. I hope that one day I can speak English Language fluently with error free 🧚🏻‍♂️
