  • Dive into the captivating world of languages and cultures with TJ Huizar, a multifaceted filmmaker, author, and traveler from the United States. In this exclusive interview on Polyglot Dreams, TJ shares the extraordinary journey that led him to become a polyglot with proficiency in languages such as Russian, French, German, Spanish, and more.
    As a language learner, TJ emphasizes the unique power we possess to not only become immersed in local cultures but also to elevate our exploration of the world and enrich our interactions with its diverse inhabitants. Through captivating narratives, TJ shares tales from his globetrotting escapades, offering a glimpse into his experiences documenting endangered languages in the Mayan jungles of Guatemala and navigating the intricacies of survival during an interrogation on the Russian border.
    At the young age of fifteen, TJ initiated his exploration into the world of languages, a journey that has taken him to over forty countries and immersed him in dozens of languages. As a polyglot, he has discovered the transformative impact language can have on breaking down barriers, connecting with people, and navigating the unexpected twists and turns of global exploration.
    Join us as TJ Huizar invites some of the world's best language learners to reflect on the shocking limits of their linguistic skills through the lens of global exploration. This presentation not only delves into TJ's riveting adventures but also serves as a testament to the incredible doors that open when one embraces the world through the power of language. Subscribe to Polyglot Dreams to witness the fusion of language learning and adventure, as told by the intrepid TJ Huizar.

      Some people like this kid and guy are born genetically different that allows them to learn languages very easily ….they are just too humble to admit it.
      Just do what you can and don’t compare yourself to anyone because some are lucky to be born into a multinational family or get to live abroad.

      Based on your name, I’m guessing maybe you’re Vietnamese. I’ve been struggling to learn Vietnamese for the past 10 years. It’s a pretty hard language because the pronunciation is hard for me. I can see that English is hard for a lot of Vietnamese people, as well. I’m sure you will continue to improve.

    I speak three languages: Oromo, English, and Amharic ( Oromo and Amharic are from Ethiopia). I also love Turk films I’m addicted to it, so my goal is to learn their language. Foreign films hits very different. I love Turk culture. Hopefully, I can watch one day without subtitles. His story is so inspiring. Learning about people’s cultures is beautiful and unifying no matter how different we are. When you learn people’s language, it shows how you care about them and recognize cultural diversity and appreciation for their culture. Thank you for this. Keep up the good work.

    Seeing young people who have an insane drive to learn foreign languages is such a massive inspiration, and myself being 27, I have tried my hand in dabbling with 35 languages - languages are addicting 🤣 (conversational in at least 9 of them, but can read Arabic, Persian, Greek, and Russian - learning to read Georgian and Armenian) and it's such a motivational feeling when conversing among people who are capable of expressing themselves in other languages besides English.

    Beautiful!! Learning someone elses language is the fastest way to peace.. Connection of the heart. I have recently fallen in love with learning languages too. Its addictive. And its not a natural gift. Languages were my worst subject at school. I dont have a good ear, not musical, very shy.. But somehow i overcome all these obstacles just because i love it so much. I am learning pali, hindi and gujurati at the moment. I like learning languages of the same family, it gives a nice round picture, one can make many connections and understand more of the way things work and develop. Because pali is part of indo European languages, it helps me to understand the foundations of english even, which is part of the same language group. I also know hebrew and learning arabic. Then i can learn languages that have influences of both language groups like urdu. Also i never liked history in school, but now that my love of cultures have been ignited, i am fascinated by our stories. Of course travelling and meeting people is a part of that. I like thst this guy is going into international relations, may he never lose the heart of what he loves, the communication, community

    I’ve always been interested in learning languages because I grew up bilingual and attended a European school which was very language focused. However the way we were taught in school wasn’t very effective so I quickly lost interest because I thought I was never going to make any progress.
    I grew up speaking Spanish and German and started learning English at school from the age of 5, although I didn’t really start speaking it properly until I was in middle school and actually wanted to learn the language (now it’s the language I think in the most!). I attempted to learn French and Korean throughout middle and high school but I wasn’t putting in enough effort and interest to actually reach conversational level, which I now regret.
    Now I’m in university in Italy (South Tyrol specifically) so I not only get to practice my German, which I had been neglecting for a couple years, but I’m also learning Italian. Since it’s very similar to Spanish I’ve already reached a more or less conversational level in just 3 months and I’ve just really noticed how great it is to be in a foreign country and being able to communicate in the local language.
    I think I’ve finally renewed that interest I had in learning new languages and I’m very happy that my university also puts an enormous emphasis on language learning so I can attend various language courses for free. I definitely want to relearn French and Korean which I barely remember anymore and hopefully in the future I will also start learning Mandarin and Russian!

Hell, here's the proof that people like what crazy stuff: I did a video on how to learn 20 languages in 10years and it blew up my channel. However, my concern with him is that anybody can say I LEARNED that many languages but, even I could say: you know what, I speak 20 languages but deep down I know it's total bullshit, because I speak 7 bwell, but the other 13 are all A1, maybe A2, I took between 5 and 10 iTalki lessons.

      Yes, as someone who is learning 2 languages at 19 aside from my mother tongue and English, this always feels like a toxic competition. The fastest to learn, the genius that started at 13, the one who mastered all 15 languages he speaks... It sounds great, I am truly happy for him and I wish him the best on his journey, but I would love some realism. I would love someone who tells me that they speak fluently 3-4 languages (to a c1-c2 level) /which is already impressive enough for 23 years old/ and that they are the same as me, making mistakes, not knowing how to write, conjugate, I want to see how they study, how many hours a day... Is it even possible for me to replicate it? Do they spend full time doing so? No matter how beautiful and encouraging this message is. In the end they just show the beautiful part, learning in months what takes years to master... I am learning Chinese and German. I don't buy it. I don't think someone can be completely fluent at all of that that quickly. Arabic, Slovenian, Russian, complex alphabets... Years of practice, in a visit to the country for a few months.
      I like to see models, aspirations to look up to, not gods. Speaking 4 languages fluently and learning two more in A2 level, and one more in B1, and six more in A1 THAT IS OKAY. learning a language is about going to your own rythm, but they make it feel like the rest of the world is falling behind.... At least, that's how I feel. Imagine someone that is older than me, someone who is only starting to master his first language at 25...

    Such videos about polyglots don't mean much unless the person specifies level for each language he speaks. I reached B1 in French after studying it in Montreal for 3 years. It's not fluency. And I remember when I came to Canada with B2 in English I was also struggling. C1 is IELTS 7 out of 9 (so basically every 2 words out of 9 you will be missing. That's not comfortable either).
    It took me 4 years in Canada to get my English from B2 to C2. Based on that I can guess that I will need even more than that to get my French from B1 to C2. When I hear that some polyglot speaks 10-20 languages... Well, A1s don't count. B1s don't count either.

    • @polyglotdreams
      @polyglotdreams  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences regarding language proficiency. It's commendable that you've dedicated significant time to learning and improving in multiple languages.
      I completely understand your perspective on the importance of specifying language proficiency levels. It's indeed crucial to differentiate between A1, A2, B1, etc., as these levels indicate varying degrees of proficiency. Just to provide a bit more context, at the A1 level, individuals typically know around 500 to 600 words, while at the B1 level, the vocabulary expands to around 2,500 to 3,000 words.
      You rightly pointed out that achieving fluency, especially at higher levels like C1 or C2, involves a more nuanced understanding of the language and a broader vocabulary. It's interesting to note that the most common 1,000 words in a language often constitute around 80% of everyday conversations, underscoring the significance of progressing beyond the basic levels. So people at a B1 level may be able to communicate perfectly well on a great number of subjects.
      Your journey from B2 to C2 in English over four years is impressive and serves as a testament to the time and effort required to attain higher proficiency levels. I agree that when polyglots mention speaking multiple languages, it's crucial to consider the depth of their proficiency in each language, as A1 and B1 levels may not provide a comprehensive representation of true fluency, but neither does C1 or C2 since one must consider the potential impact of accent, prosody, and speech habits on perceived fluency. These factors can significantly influence how fluent someone appears in a language. It's worth noting that someone at a B1 level, with a clear accent, confident prosody, and fluid speech habits, may give the impression of being more fluent than a C1-level speaker who struggles with these aspects.
      Fluency is a multifaceted concept that extends beyond vocabulary and grammar. The ability to express oneself naturally, adapt to various contexts, and handle the nuances of pronunciation and intonation all contribute to the overall perception of fluency. It's a reminder that language proficiency is not solely determined by the number of words one knows but also by how effectively and comfortably those words can be used in diverse situations.

But let's talk about listening comprehension (which is my biggest problem at the moment). Let's say someone with C2 in English got IELTS score 8 out of 9 in listening. So he would be missing every ninth word (basically, it's one word in each sentence). And not because his vocabulary is small (at C2 vocabulary is already big enough) but because of level of listening comprehension. That's how it works: even if you know every word, it doesn't mean that you will catch 100%.
      B1 in English is IELTS 4.5 out of 9. So based on that math half of words in speech will be missed. No way it's "be able to communicate perfectly well". When I watch news in French, I understand some words and phrases (and can figure out meaning based on those words that I understand) but I also miss a lot (because B1 is not high level at all).
      I see that there are some polyglots on TH-cam that take language exams and they have several languages at C1 level. Yep, that's impressive. B2+ is probably good enough too.

      @@alphabravo0 I understand that but it is not always just a matter of the level that is measured by these tests... speaking fluently involves other skills too such as being able to rephrase what you want to say when you run into a lexical or grammatical roadblock and emotional states such as confidence.. I never take such tests because I have nothing to prove by taking them... the proof is in being able to communicate and understand.

What is the next language you would like to learn? How about Spanish and Portuguese- knowing Italian helps out so much.

    Now many of you ask what is Bengali? It is not known to many people despite being the sixth most widely spoken native language of the world.

    It is the sole official language of the People's Republic of Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩and is used as an official language in the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, Barak Valley of Assam.
    Bengali is often regarded as the sweetest spoken language of the world 🌎.
    21 st February is celebrated as the International Mother language Day in order to honour the martryrs of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 who gave thier lives to save the Bengali language.
