Бриджет, привет! Если есть желание, с удовольствием пообщаюсь с тобой на русском (мой родной язык). Также я худо-бедно владею английским и испанским, mas o menos B2 ambos. Hasta luego!🖖😎

You can actually speak Russian, that's crazy! I could sort of interpolate what you were saying. And you could understand the teacher speaking so quickly 😯

Hi! I'm a language enthusiast as well. :) I speak Russian (native), English (C1, got 8/9 on IELTS exam), and I'm currently learning French (B1 now). Anyway, If you ever feel like talking in Russian again, I'll be happy to practice it with you. Wish you luck with all your languages!

Heck yea! Haven't seen you in years. Didn't know you had another channel

What lovely eyebrows

Al principio del video cuando te corregiste la pronunciación de "aunque" no hacía falta, lo dijiste bien la primera vez. De hecho, tu pronunciación y gramática son bastante buenas, vas por buen camino con el español

Your Russian is better than your German. You're right about that. Still, you have gotten the pronunciation down. German is more challenging because native speakers will switch to English if you're having a hard time with German. On the other hand, Russians are generally enthusiastic about helping others learn their language. Brazilians are like that too. During the fall semester of 1996 I took a German class and a Russian class. That summer I had a German class with a professor who also taught Russian. Right now I'm concentrating on Mandarin using an Assimil course with French as the language of instruction. A few years ago I completed one of their German courses and that helped me to produce the language more. TH-cam and Netflix help a lot, but Netflix's Russian selection is very limited due to the political situation. Viel Glück! Удачи!

As a self described Bibliophile, I hate to see you highlight the book. I am currently reading Los Juegos del Hambre, I type out a paragraph I'm having trouble with and import it into Lingq.

hi bridget! first of all great content. the second thing is, i also am an aspiring polyglot who loves languages a little too much and now has to deal with three languages at the time. it was exactly today that i thought about starting a youtube channel so i can really stick to an schedule. am i going to take this recommendation by youtube as a sign? you bet i am. loved the video and what it brought to me wish you the best muahhh

I recommend to have different profiles on social media for every language, so you just get content in th language you are focussing on. Sure, it needs some time to train the algorithm , but then you get only recommendations fo your interest in that language.

Hi! Im now learning german and getting back into relearning in Spanish. And also learning dutch as well. Still working on the german and spanish part though

Great! I'm a spanish spoken, and I have been learning english for around a year and I started to learn German with my english this week, I'm really enjoying this journey

Isle of Tenerife, Spain, Africa. Well done! (Yes, you got the subjunctive right at your first attempt, so double well done!) Thanks for a great video, lots of useful tips. (By the way, why do people of your generation not follow our tradition of using the Spanish version of our names, ages, places, times, numbers, whatever, when speaking Spanish? It's much more fun to be fully immersive in the language, I find, including names and places, and it makes it easier for the natives you meet to interact with you if you're not obliging them to pronounce foreign phonemes every time they'd like to use your name in the conversation. There's a little town named the same as you in the neighboring island here: Grand Canary [as my generation still calls it in English]. Saint Bridgets.) Keep up the great work! Best wishes, Patchy.

Your Russian is quite well👍🏻 Keep going.

This Russian teacher sounds like a typical teacher from Russian school lol

Wow! Estoy impresionado. Me tomó más de 1,5 años para hablar como tú. Pero soy ruso, y desde la infancia no estaba expuesto a la habla española para nada ) Y por cierto es fenomenal que no tienes este tipico acento estadounidense! Bien hecho!

Well done.

Tienes suerte de tener una profesora de español así И привет из Москвы! )) Ты очень приятная милая девушка. Всегда интересно смотреть и слушать твои видео. No matter in which language. Good luck, Bridget!

Im a spanish teacher and i tel you that your spanish skils are fasinating👍🎉!!

Говоришь по русски почти без акцента. Супер!

Your German is not bad at all, I think you just need to build confidence speaking it! Very impressive demonstration! :D

Your Russian is perfect.

your ovaries are expiring, one egg at a time

This was sooo cool! You did amazing, when I’m not actively using a language it’s like it disappears completely from my active vocabulary

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

Your German was better than you made it out to be. You had some trouble with the word order. I don't remember the applicable German grammar rules, but you can see in this video that the verb often is in the second position as well as at the end of phrases.

Great video! I love this kind of content (also quick tip: in German, the letter S before a vowel is pronounced like an english Z)

Very nice Bridget! I didn't know you speak two other languages, of course with time and practice you'll be better at them. About the part of not being able to say what you want, it's normal, you will always understand more than you can say, that's the reason why we, language learners have to practice speaking a lot in order to balanced these two things, in my opinion. In no time you're going to speak better Spanish than me 😱 Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

You don't make many mistakes, but I notice that some of the mistakes you make (not all, but some) are not exactly mistakes, but alternative ways of saying it that are correct but not the most common, or just ways of saying that are the most common in other variants of spanish, which I think is something to keep in mind. There are many different dialects or variants of spanish (there are 21 countries that have spanish as their official language, if I am not mistaken, and there are different dialects of spanish even inside each of those countries). All those variants are still spanish, they are all the same language, but they are still different. So non native speakers learning spanish have 2 options, they can either focus on one specific variant of spanish, or they can learn a mix of several variants. In your case it seems to me (and maybe I am mistaken) that you are learning standard spanish from Spain, but I think you sporadically speak cuban spanish. Which means at least some of the "mistakes" you make are not so much mistakes but a form of spanish spoken in Cuba (or maybe other spanish speaking countries). For example, here 5:15, the way of saying "on top of the table" in Spain would be "encima de la mesa", but I have heard spanish speakers from other countries say "arriba de la mesa". The words "encima" y "arriba" have a similar meaning, but their use changes in different contexts depending on the country. I wouldn't worry too much about that because spanish speakers in general are still going to understand you, but know that those differences exist when you are choosing words, or constructing sentences (and also in the pronunciation, of course).

This was so helpful - I felt like I was piecing this together with you and reinforcing vocab that I had just recently learned, like destacar. Muchos gracias!!

Thank you for sharing this! I’ve found that making comprehensible input the biggest part of my study time and just consuming the content rather than trying to understand word for word has helped me to stop translating in my head. Also if I get tripped up on a word, I look it up in a Spanish dictionary instead of an English one :)

I am also an aspiring polyglot, but I always say with how long it is taking me to get to fluency in Spanish, I’ll be 50 by the time I get to my next conquest haha I just started a page following my journey to fluency in IG, so we’re in the same boat!

He spoke very clearly and was easy to understand. I'm currently crosstalking/speaking. Do you mind sharing his information so I can use him? Thanks in advance!

Be careful Bridget, it says "enmarcado" (which means framed), not "marcado" (which means marked)

Para Mi there is a spiritual element in learning a language. There is a process and it doesn't come cheaply or without cost. Thank you for your transparency in making these videos and sharing your struggles. It is a journey. Each day has its work. Pero poco a poco, dia a dia, va naciendo en nosotros.

Puede ayudarte mucho

Si!!! Bridget, dale los exámenes

Looking more into it, testigo here is probably being used as baton. Pasar/entregar el testigo. Pass the baton.

hola, buen vídeooo. Yo soy hablante nativo del español aprendiendo inglés tú video está genial. Como tip puedo recomendarte que al leer, los tildes, osea los "accents" que son estos: " ´ " arriba de las palabras como en "vídeo" <- por ejemplo (tilde en la "i") te enfoques en pronunciar un poco más cargada la palabra, ejemplo: en el minuto 5:27, Dices "el disparó" que sonó básicamente como a la acción de disparar (He shot), como en esta frase: "él le disparó a otra persona". cuando en realidad bajo el contexto de el texto se enfatiza al sonido del disparo o tiro en sí, (osea "the shot"), espero que sea útil para ti! en español es un poco más fácil saber donde cargar la voz ya que están marcados con tilde cada acentuación, las que no solo se leen normal. sigue así estás super avanzada! un abrazo desde Chile :)

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have been been learning Spanish for several years now and I am always looking for ways to improve my Spanish. This seems like a really interesting way to learn new Spanish words and phrases muchas gracias

Otro vídeo estupendo, Bridget, cómo mola tu contenido! Ahora siento la necesidad de comprarme una copia del libro porque estos videos siempre me dejan con ganas de más.jaja! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Muchas gracias por haciendo parte número 3 me gusta

Hola Bridget, tengo una duda con tu traducción de la palabra testigo (witness). En el contexto ¿no sería más apropiado usar la palabra "baton"? En español también se llama testigo al palo que se pasan los corredores de las carreras de relevos. Enhorabuena por tus videos, sigue así.

Stumbled onto your channel yesterday and the previous video in this series. As a beginner Spanish student I adore this format. Thank you for making these videos!

Tu español es excelente! Me la pasé muy bien hablando contigo. Y me dio gusto ver el video. Sigue así!

Quiero a ver un museo. Puedes hablar en español sobre del museo ?

Tú hablas muy bien en español 👍 sigue tu aprendizaje y seguramente lograrás todas tus metas 🙌

Im really sorry seeing the hostile comments youre getting.

Tu español suena tan bien! Espero que voy a hablar igual que tu.
