It’s so refreshing to hear from someone else working to study so many languages instead of putting strict limits on themselves or insisting it’s “impossible” to study multiple languages at once. It certainly is possible and your priority system is a practical way to make it work.
You're one of the few people who set attainable goals.. you are down to earth. Your videos are motivational:)
Language learning is my best hobby!
And it definitely helped me get a job that I wanted. I'm happy that it paid off. I will continue my journey with Language learning
I’m learning Chinese and Spanish, I love watching these videos to keep myself motivated and get new ideas how to learn
I plan to fouce on Turkish and Spanish in 2023. And sure, I always learn English 😺
Yeni yılın kutlu olsun! 🎉
Feliz año nuevo! 🎉
I like your goals and your result of 2022, for me I start learning English and Turkish in Sept 2022
Now I have B1 in English and a still beginner in Turkish
Mes goals for 2022 were:
Read 2 books in English ( I read 1)
Have B2 ( I have B1)
Be able to understand fluent people ( I can )
Turkish:
Finished A1-2 Istanbul textbook (I finished just 3 unite from A1)
Watching a series with subtitle (I watched eşkiya dünyaya hükümdar olamaz 3 seasons and I understand with Arabic subtitle and without I'm very happy for this)
2023:
English : speak 30 min /day for a month
Turkish : same Goals of 22
Fr: read 2. Books
çok güzel! Hayırlı olsun! 🙏
love your transparency with how you met/didn't feel you met your goals! Great organization tool to set low/medium/high priority languages, especially with multiple languages it's a lot to keep up with. Your passion really shines through, and I'm happy to hear you improved your turkish! It will be lower priority for me this year but arabic and russian are my focus! Yeni yılınız kutlu olsun!
U are not a failure! You are a working in progress😂 i like the 30 day output challenge and the 10 sentences in writting. 😊
I like that you have goals, but if they don't pan out in practice, it's not the end of the world.
ビデオありがとう。よいお年を!
Since you like video games consider this playing Oxen-free 2 and Kentucky route zero they are graphic novel video games. That you can use to progress your language learning.
im greek and i speak greek, english c1, german b2 and a little russian and turkish this year im gonna focus on french and hopefully i will get into a university in france
I hope you succeed this year!!! 💖
Now you can learn my native language Greek ❤😂😊🇬🇷🇬🇷❤️❤️
My japanese goals are reaching 20.000 cards on anki and 2.000 hours in 2023
I currently have 11.000 cards on anki and 115 hours since the beginning of the year, which in 17 days so far of the year it's 6.7 hours on average, but overall the goal is if I'm not doing something in japanese I'd be studying for college, no more English
頑張って!
My goal is to read fluently in Hawaiian and b1 level in french en some sentences in Italian.
Your goals sound very attainable! Do you mind sharing which textbook you're using for Chinese?
Best of luck in the new year! 새해복 많이 받으세요~
I'm LOVING 當代中文課程: studywithalex.com/resources/chinese-resources/#:~:text=%E7%95%B6%E4%BB%A3%E4%B8%AD%E6%96%87%E8%AA%B2%E7%A8%8B,%C2%A0978%2D9570845693
새해복 많이 받으세요!!!
So glad I found your channel!! Could you make a video about embracing the language learning process...and not comparing to others..thank you 😉
I'm Turkish and one of my Japanese friends told me, Turkish god, damn hard and impossible to learn. and It's really wondering about that learning Turkish process.
It's tough and requires a lot of hard work. Türk ailem olsaydı 🥲
I like the video game idea. I played horizon forbidden west in German for a few days but got lost and switched back to English. Need to replay it completely
It's funny you mention that because I was going to do Horizon Zero Dawn in German for my goal, but I think Pokemon Brilliant Diamond is more fitting for my German level. I wish you the best in your replay 🎮
Hyvä päivä kaikille täällä ✌
みんなの一日を 😇
Een geweldige dag voor iedereen hier 🤚
आज हर किसी के लिए ✨
יום טוב לכולם כאן
Un grande giorno per tutti qui 😆
یک روز عالی برای همه در اینجا ✋
Bedankt! Jij ook !
My second question is how to maintain all the languages we know. Like multiple languages, especially someone like you who knows what, 8 to 10. It isn't practical to study them all every day. So how do you go about maintaining and if you learn a new language how do you ensure you don't lose track of the ones you already know more of?
Very good question. I recently wrote a blog about this exact question: studywithalex.com/2023/01/12/can-you-learn-multiple-languages-at-once/1341/
Hopefully, that can answer your question.
Also Nintendo switch is not region locked so if you felt like playing Spanish.or.French or what ever
Hello friend :) I would like your advice on 2 things whenever you get a chance:) one is, what has your experience with russian been like. I like the sound and,, in general this language I like it...but omg the grammar terrifies me! How can we learn to stop fearing languages with hard grammar?
For a native speaker of English, it's tough. You will need to do a lot of practice for that grammar to come naturally to you. I hope you can look past the difficulty and see the amazing expressiveness of Russian!
My goal this year is to write in Ukrainian every day! Most of it will be example sentences rather than a diary since I am a beginner, but Ive heard writing something down can help you remember. I'm also hoping to add more small goals later in the year because I think staggering them out will help keep me from getting too discouraged if I cant meet them.
Good luck!!! 😊
I hope you do amazing and I know you will!! Greetings from Venezuela :)
Hey, how are you doing?
It's been eight months now. I was wondering how your process is going?:)
PS Alex, how did/do you feel about Italian? I know you had studied it this past year, did you feel it was too similar to the Romance languages you already know? That happens often with me, easy to confuse! I think to keep languages of the same family separate, that alone is a talent ;-)
And, would you ever consider learning Hindi or Urdu? I think surely you'll pick it up in no time =)
To be honest, the extent of my Italian studies was what you saw in the video I made in that video. Italian was similar, and I think that was a strength. I was able to predict structures and key grammar. What remains is just a matter of learning new orthography, new vocab patterns (like -zione where I learned -tion from French), and new articles. I definitely want to revisit Italian someday.
I definitely want to learn Hindi or Urdu! I have no knowledge about South Asian languages and that whole Sprachbund even though so much culture, movies, music come from there. Definitely will someday, but not likely in 2023.
@@studywithalex :) aw, well if you change your mind to try and start it THIS year, I can help you. the cool thing is, its kind of like 2 for one because urdu and hindi i'm sure you know, are essentially mutual intelligible, the scripts are different but you could easily learn them!
promo sm 👊
Shouldn’t you focus on one until you feel good enough to talk naturally with locals and then move on to the next one? I really don’t see trying to learn all of them at once being efficient
But you do you, it seems that it is working for you
This is a question that deserves a full video.
Simplified version: I love the process, and efficiency is not my priority. I enjoy struggling through a language and that in and of itself is fun for me.
On top of that "good enough to talk naturally" is totally subjective and you can move the goal posts.
