Learning a new language sometimes might be frustrating, as it requires so much time and efforts, but we can't deny the joyful moments when you make progress ..

[@JobirHamroyev]

Q

[@learnurduwithsara1068]

Learning a new language means you are going to learn about a completely different culture, and that is fun!

[@wellbodisalone]

Definitely! Culture is part of the learning process.

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

I totally agree with you. You are a wonderful teacher. I really love your videos

[@charlieisnotawallflower783]

Being a person from India, I've never personally known someone who knows only one language.

[@huimintang8365]

I can see she was a little bit nervous during the speech, but I love the opinions she presented. Simple, concise, and very persuasive!

[@user-kw6om3hp6f]

She is non native but your pronounsation, vocabulary,grammar are advanced

[@xddp4910]

She said she is an English teacher. To teach a language which is not your mother tongue requires having a high level in it.

[@rekaspallino6573]

Very interesting video. I was raised bilingual and became with time, effort, studies, and love for the languages, polyglot. I am today fluent in 7 languages and learning my 8th.. I have 7 recorders and I love to switch among them :)

[@TanNguyen-hz9jk]

Great! You can share some experiences to me to learn languages. Thanks

[@aimafarooq3283]

[@Salvo_Solotraveler]

Many people say that learning a new language is like running a marathon, I disagree profoundly. When you ran in a marathon like it or not there will be an end. Language change, evolve, learning a new language is something that you need to embrace forever!

[@user-ny7ki8ss3x]

To be honest, it's so captivating how languages are working. Like when you learn new languages you also know your own too, so always when you heard something in language that you learn and you understand it even a little bit it brings me some thoughts like wow how the brain is working. You can understand one word in different languages, whole phrase in different languages and it is so unusually fascinating

[@elenayxn6804]

[@jamesduncan1076]

In answer to the initial "why?" question. I accidentally discovered Western classical music on the radio at age 9 and was hooked for life. That drove me to dig deeper, so in high school a few years later, I did 4 years of French and German. Numerous benefits. Unfortunately, most everyone here in California, except many Latinx folks and immigrants, only speaks one language so I never get to practice with other people. To keep my languages basically alive, I do sundry things like reading Quora out loud in French and German plus attending stream media in those languages. Due to lack of direct practice, my two-way conversational skills are weak. On rare occasions speaking French with someone, my brain may insert a German word when I've forgotten the French word for something and vice versa. These days, what I really need is Spanish, and I should do that.

[@faizzaembabi5640]

I wanna learn spanish too
