    Right now, my go-to app for language learning is Immersive Translate. It’s a free browser extension that supports over 100+ languages. With that kind of scope, you’ll definitely have no trouble finding the language you’re looking for. I personally use it to watch my shows and movies on TH-cam and Netflix, and that’s been a very helpful way for me to integrate myself into the language. I’ve already learned a lot so far, which is really great.

    I’ve been binging your videos and I absolutely love your attitude towards not just language learning but goals and personal image and such. I’m a neurodivergent person with chronic fatigue, so your general attitude and methodology really matches my outlook, and I really appreciate the way you explain things. I’ve been learning Mandarin Chinese for over a year now, and I definitely still struggle with realistic goal setting and letting myself be proud of the steps I’ve taken instead of thinking of everything I feel like I could have done instead. This video is a good reminder to be kinder to myself, and recognize all the effort I’ve put in and how far I’ve come. Also, I know your channel is still very new, but if you ever make a Discord server or something like that for language learners to hang out in, I would absolutely love to join.

    Really good stuff. Thanks for sharing. I feel like I watch these kinds of videos more than actually studying which is why my Japanese is still so poor, lol. I wish I got the hang of studying faster because I've been studying Japanese since high school which was almost 10 years ago now, and I made almost no progress in those years due to bad or inconsistent study. I've finally started "vocabulary cramming" or whatever I would call it, and actually broadening my vocab through study rather than assuming it'll come automatically. Grammar is probably the worst part. Lol. Good luck with the rest of your studies. ^^ edit: I love your bingo idea btw. you're very dedicated! brava

    hello. I watched your previous Korean learning video and I think my skills have improved since then! I am also using drops to learn languages. I think Duolingo is a good app to use when learning grammar after you have learned enough vocabulary. I recommend watching entertainment or media that Koreans talk about, but I also recommend watching EBS. EBS is an educational broadcast for children, and it is good for those who are learning Korean for the first time, and it is good because it allows them to learn the speaking speed of a native speaker.

    The solution to the “dont spend so much time with the language that you hate it or yourself” problem for me has been fanaticism. Fanaticism is second nature to me because i am an American and that is one of my people’s defining characteristics, but im sure other nationalities can learn it. I just convinced myself that the ideal is a me who knows german, and i think about how only cucks and the english even consider a concept as useless and morally bankrupt as “pragmatism”. I think “Fuck pragmatism, im an american. My ancestors sacrificed their lives over representation in government even though the government they rebelled against wasnt even tyrannical. They did it out of principle. If i cant spend at least 4 hours in this language today, i will have failed my ancestors, Jesus Christ, my nation, myself, my family, and my future children. Fuck failure, fuck pragmatism. If i cant live my principles, i have no right to call myself an american, or even a man. If i give in to the pragmatic satan, i will have failed” and then all of the sudden im super motivated to go right back to learning or listening or reading. I think there is probably an equivalent story most people could tell themselves, adapted to their own national history and values.

    First of all, the dislikes must have been accidental, who wouldn't like potato! As for Korean, it's been a while since I started Korean (couple of years), but I used the website Korean from zero, you can access the books with audio for free there. I also used Howtostudykorean, and for a physical textbook I used Vitamin Korean which I really liked, apart starting from level 3 (out of 6) the book was only in Korean and the jump was huge. As for Talk to me in Korean, their podcasts are great and they have a couple of books that are fantastic. But the 10 book series, I've never understood why people are so obsessed with it, I just don't think it's a very good series. If you love vocabulary, how about the podcasts "Story time in korean", "Korean sunflower", "Choisusu" etc.? They are extremely beginner friendly and in my opinion you can get the gist without knowing the grammar concepts, just from vocab.You got this and I am looking forward to your next videos :)

In school I study German and because I'm still at an elementary school, English. I hate German. I have no motivation to learn German, it's completely useless language for me. I'd like to learn more languages at the same time, but I don't have enough time to spend it on learning + Every time I do two things at the same time I fail. Now I want to spent more time with the language I wan't to learn. I made a huge step forward in my Spanish and hope I'll be one day be able to speak it. When I learned one language, then I can learn more. Thank you for the video!
