Hello friends! I accidentally made the video go live a day before it was meant to - whoopsie. Happy accidents, I guess! I am SO EXICTED about this because Robin is super cool, we have some fun languages in common, and this was just a nice wholesome chat about languages, life and more. I hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it - and stay tuned for the video on his channel coming soon!
In case your language partners haven't told you by this hour of the day... the base form of the verb is: "Confundir." And NEVER SAY: "confundar" because it doesn't exits in Spanish. 21:00
I’m literally not reading the english subtitles anymore. It’s just so amazing to watch them conversing in a lot of languages. Languages are just so beautiful and I just enjoy hearing new sounds even if I can’t understand a thing haha 😆 So inspiring! Thank you so much for this!!
So, this is gonna sound weird and a bit rude (lo siento) but I loved hearing you work through your Spanish. Maybe you forgot some words, maybe it was hard but watching you keep going and keep trying really comforted me. Spanish is my target language (and my only acquired language) and now I don't feel so alone because I have seen you (who I consider an expert) language learner, in the process of learning a language. Cheers.
Thank you guys for such a great video! My mother tongue is Japanese and I’m learning all other 4 languages (including English), and it was a great pleasure for me to be able to understand what you guys were saying. This is the exact moment when I feel learning languages is really rewarding, even though I haven’t reached a high level. Thank you so much!
"Constantly forgetting ", relearning, and above all being honest to our levels are probably the greatest entity of being 'polyglot', as they're not the permanent resident of 'safety chamber ', they passionately explore their limits; irrespective of all hostility. "The polyglot is a linguistic nomad."--Rosi Braidotti. And also thanks for including French, I used it as my listening comprehension. Thanks Lindie.
I didn't realize how much Japanese I could understand until I watched this! Even though that isn't a lot, I'm really proud of it! Thank you for making me motivated to study more!
Lindie et Robin! vous êtes les deux polyglottes sur TH-cam que j'apprécie pour les mêmes raisons: vous êtes simples et vous donnez l'impression d'être passionnés et très enthousiastes. Et en plus dans cette vidéo vous parlez dans ma langue maternelle! Quite interesting to know how French people are seen from elsewhere :)
We love us a good guest Lindie, thanks for inviting Robin. You are both such Inspirational people, not only because of language learning but everything else you do with your life's!
Lindie, it's really cute how you don't roll your tongue when speaking Mandarin.(I mean it sincerely 😄) It really sounds like Cantonese or Taiwanese accent. Btw I'm a native Mandarin speaker from TW, so if you ever need any help with the language, let me know :) I love how authentic this video is and you two are both so honest about making mistakes. It's really motivating!
Thank you for this video! I'm a Japanese native who is currently learning Korean, Chinese, Spanish and Indonesian. Both of your Japanese are amazing:) While I love learning languages and am passionate enough to try and find time to stick to all of them, sometimes I can't help but feel defeated realising how little my progress has been and how much I've lost what I've learned in each language. Watching the two of you in this video was inspiring both in terms of your honesty/authenticity and the apparent efforts that you've put into those languages to reach this point. Salute to both of you! いつも励みや参考になる動画をありがとうございます。これからも楽しみにしています^^
I'm French, study English, German and Italian. I will learn from next September Japanese (then Chinese / mandarin). I really like it and this kind of videos, it shows perfectly multiculturalism 👍 I'm really glad to hear my native language ! 😀
Coucou ! Moi aussi ! J'apprends le japonais, l'espagnol, l'anglais (Les trois ok) l'Italien (depuis un mois et demi) et l'allemand (j'y vais lentement) ^^
Whoa I mostly understood what you two said in Japanese without subtitles! 🤯 If you're multilingual, wildly mixing words from different languages in a sentence is normal and it still make sense 😆
I thought I was losing my Japanese ability, but to be able to understand everything they said reminded me of how far I have come :o how great. I hope your Japanese has continued to improve since you commented this! haha
I love to watch your videos!! And Robin's too, it's amazing to see both in a video! I love the video and the experience you have share:3 You both are my motivation for language learning!
Wow!! This was incredible, I truly enjoyed watching this and also getting to know Robin. I am totally consumed with his channel now too. Thank you, Lindie! You both have put in so much work into your languages! Should be so proud, this is truly something and I loved watching it. This has inspired me immensely to keep going in my LL journey…. Many thanks to you both for being honest and sharing this space and your incredible skills with us all. This is what the community should be about! More connection and transparency, please!
Both of your Mandarin isn't bad, but I highly recommend shadowing podcasts or using a spaced-repetition audio heavy program like Glossika to practice your tones!
I never knew Chinese syntax was this difficult for non-native speakers, when looking at a perspective from you guys. Additionally, Chinese has very little shared vocabularies with western languages, unlike Japanese with katakana. For instance you guys are trying to say 挑戰, but in Japanese, I bet there is a word which would sound something similar to English. When you encounter higher level Chinese, the syntax will be a little more tougher, because Chinese language loves to throw in expressions referenced from classical Chinese, examples like 此地不宜久留 vs 這裡不適合停留太長時間, and the vocabularies are starting to get more flexible where you can sometimes kick off a character and still meant the same thing.
English used to be a lot more like that, but because so many people speak it who arent traditionally from an English background, the literary and old style phrases have been dropped because too many people didn’t know them. English has simplified itself a lot to work for the people who use it. If millions and millions of Non Chinese people start using Chinese at work and at social events i think the same thing will happen.
The only two languages in know in this vid are french and Spanish and I somehow felt proud of myself understanding french and even noticing some mistakes but I didn't understand a lot of things in Spanish and had to use subtitles ! I'll save this vid for another day when I'll be able to speak Spanish... Marvelous video as always Lindie :)
MY TWO FAVOURITE POLYGLOT TH-camRS - COULD MY DAY GET ANY BETTER?!? My view on video: For me learning Japanese, the hardest part has actually been vocab. I love Kanji (same as Robin, I find it fun), and grammar was usually pretty easy for me to grasp, but something about memorizing the right reading + the meaning + pitch accent was always difficult for me. The only thing that works in anki right now. I haven’t done much with Keigo yet, but I am very nervous that I’ll accidentally use casual talk with my iTalki teacher, or if I use Keigo with my Japanese friends on Tandem. So far, I’m good, but it still makes me nervous. Man, now your speaking French which I already speak, I feel like this video is tailor made lol. I definitely agree with just putting lots of time towards French! I learned French in school, and there really were lots of times when I felt like I hated French and was bad at it. I’m so glad I never dropped the class, and my French teacher was always kind to me and encouraged me to do my best. As for the pressure, although I’m nowhere near a polyglot yet, I often feel like I’m misleading people. If I make a mistake in French, a lot of times I’ll think “Man, am I really good at French after all?”. With Japanese, I’m still a beginner, so I still feel like my mistakes are just part of learning. Its useful to remind myself of all the mistakes I make in English. I forget certain words all the time, and I still have to google a word now and again. Its okay to make those mistakes, even if your advanced in the language. I don’t speak any Spanish, but I did go to a Spanish immersion school in my first few elementary years. My parents told me that I was really good at it at the time (I’ve forgotten all of it, I can barely count to ten now) and it was my first time with other languages. I hope one day to reconnect with that Spanish, but it’s certainly not a priority yet. I’ll be working on Japanese for quite a few years before I even think of learning other languages - and Afrikaans is probably my next choice, since I’m half South African. Lol, I definitely understand the “あの” slips, I use it more than “Um” at this point, even with English, and people always get confused. To which I respond with “あのうう… It’s hard to explain.”
@@vangogh8644 I’ve been learning French for four years in School, and two years self studying (worth noting that I didn’t study very often per day though, I likely could’ve reached my level faster if I invested more time and money into studying). I am Canadian, so for our Junior High French classes are required, and for High School they’re optional. I’m taking them again for Grade 11, just to help maintain the language since my High School didn’t offer Japanese. I’ve only been studying Japanese for a month now, but I’ve always loved the country. How about you, what languages do you speak (or studying towards)?
@@tiny_tuba9756Thanks for replying. I speak English, Hindi (my mother tongue). I have been learning French for almost 3 years now. In Japanese I only know Hiragana and Katakana so far! Lol. And I have been learning Spanish for fun on Duo Lingo.☺️
LOL the same with me, Im really bad at remembering vocabulary reading, but I remember it meanings and how to use it, and pitch accent, lol, for now im working more on understanding the language so I'm not really looking for speaking related studies 😷 But damn, I love kanji, I like how the grammar works (even when there are some things that I dont understand, but naturally i will, e.g., は and が particle, now im really good at them)
This video is delightful.. two of the most humble and honest "polyglots" out there... neither are afraid to tell you how much learning languages is really hard work but also immensely rewarding and even life changing
I am so happy I could turn off subtitles during the spanish section and understand everything you two said! Its moments like that that keep me motivated to learn not only spanish but other languages over time!
Y’all are inspiring! To be able to learn many languages and speak in them is so awesome! I can only hope to become that good with my Japanese and improve my French 😩 great collab! 💕
OMG guys I LOVED this video!!! I was expecting this crossover for a long time! You both are so inspiring in the language learning journey, I am currently learning french and mandarin chinese (I already know english and spanish, which is my mother tounge), thanks very much for this, it was quite entertaining and inspiring, I hope that one day I could be able to do this challenge as incredible as you guys did. Thanks again, love you both
I love how down to earth this video is. This was very enjoyable to watch, the conversation was interesting and it was great to be reminded that it's okay to forget languages.
I was able to understand almost everything in japanese with subs (yt generated). Im happy. Btw, I loved the video, I love all ur videos it makes me inspired, thank u a lot for making them.
Hi Lindie and Robin! I can speak in all the languages you spoke in this video, but at different levels. The thing that made me proud was that I understood almost everything in chinese, although I've been learning it since this march and I'm aiming to a HSK 2😅👌 moreover, I see that your spanish has improved a lot! Enhorabuena, Lindie! 👏 私もリンヂイさんとロビンさんのように日本語を話したいですよ😍
Thank you so so much! It was a challenge for us listening to it without subtitles too😄 and your openness about making mistakes is admirable, 非常感谢, muchas graciasss
I couldn't stop smiling! It was so so pleasant to listen to your conversation! And so many important and inspiring things have been said! Hope to see more collab videos from you two! :)
Amazing convo! I enjoyed a lot this video, you guys are my favorite polyglots, I been waiting for this Collab like you guys have no idea! Thanks for being so genuine and vulnerable by not being afraid of making mistakes in every language, God bless you guys, saludos desde México! :)
I really appreciate the honesty of this video. Sometimes we feel like we are the only ones struggling and, as you said (it was the part in french I think), it is important to show the mistakes as well and not try to give a perfect image. As a language learner, I think this video is way more inspiring than seeing seemingly perfect people. I'm very impressed about the taking-notes-in-japanese part, I tried it once and it just seemed impossible. And you just answered very honestly my everlasting question about how to maintain our highest level in all languages: you don't, they just keep varying in level and we keep forgetting and remembering. Thank you very much for your honesty and for motivating everyone!!
This was really cool to witness. Was nice to see times where they corrected themselves and helped each other out too, like when Robin started with "我知道很多人" and corrected to "认识"
It's 1:30am and I was just gonna pop into this video to check it out a little bit before going to bed but it was so interesting that I stayed for the whole video. I hope you do more; it would give you guys some more conversation practice and me some listening practice in my languages.
This is so interesting! As a French native speaker it's always really nice to hear people speak French. I also really like the fact that both of you are super honest on how language learning can fluctuate and how maintaining languages is sometimes hard!
This is the coolest video, I'm so happy to see two polyglots I admire soo much doing a video together speaking these languages!!! I just couldn't understand Japanese 🤭😍😍 do make more videos like that
También comento por acá :') (te stalkeo por twitter, Insta y por aquí) Que felicidad me da este video! Los dos son fantásticos. Y me encanta como ambos disfrutaron la charla.
This video was truly amazing! It should have been a herculean task to activate switches between languages timely! Languages and languages are everywhere...Great job, Lindie! 😃
Muy amable por publicar este vídeo en tantas lenguas! Me siento más cómoda por mirar los dos practicando los idiomas sin guión frente de una gran audiencia! Me puse paralizada por hablar en cualquier lengua aparte del inglés. Después de llevar diez años estudiando el español, la manera en que lo hablo le falta esa cierta calidad... supongo que es la fluidez. 谢谢多这个视频！我不知道怎么口音我学。到现在我学了中文四年了。我一切明白你们，很高兴极了😊
I wanna be both of you when I grow up omg This was so fun and just comforting to watch! It's really nice to hear from you both so honestly about your experiences, especially as fellow very-online language learners. I loved getting to watch the French and Spanish without subtitles and feel like part of the multilingual chat too! I can't wait to come back to this someday when I've studied some Japanese and be able to follow another one of the discussions in a new way :)
this type of videos motivate me to keep learning I'm in shock of how much japanese and french I understood. Thank you for making this video it was a lot of fun to watch ❤❤
Literally my favorites in one video ❤ I cannot wait for Robin's video with you, even though I don't know a lick of Japanese lol English and Spanish were the only ones I understood in this one, but it was so great to see this comradery ❤💙 as always, you guys are so inspiring ❤
I really wasn’t sure how I was gonna like this video. But it was GREAT!! I really enjoyed seeing you guys travel the world through language before my eyes! Such an awesome interview. And excellent questions Lindie 👍🏾
this is actually crazy. I was really convinced that forgot all my french because my level of speaking was never high enough in school (95 in listening tests and 0 in writing tests). I studied it for 7 years and got to the point of really understanding almost everything but i was simply never able to speak… so i gave up on french even after i started studying other languages. But here i forced myself not to look at the subtitles and it’s crazy that i only had to look at them for a certain word once or twice. I genuinely thought I wouldnt be able to understand more than two words so this is… really crazy for me. It’s an eye opener. And even tho I probably won’t get back to learning french any time soon I will get rid of that thought that I simply “failed” at french and should move on. Thank you for this
i really had an amazing time watching you bpth speak all the languages that i already master or that I'm learning currently, i'm so proud of you and myself too because i made so much progress that i'm not using subtitles anymore. i remember a year earlier i was watching your videos to get some Japanese learning resources and now that i can understand what are you saying makes me really happy . Thank you Lindie for being a huge source of motivation for me . Je ne pourrais jamais être assez reconnaissante ❤️
Robin: でも what's everybody?? Lindie: 都？！🤔 Robin: 大家😁 Lindie: 大家!😅 They both are reflection of me while I was talking with my friends learning language as well by switching languages one n another, it's quite getting my brain suddenly forgot to remember word even a basic word.
이 비디오 진짜 사랑했어요! 린디와 로빈 너무 재밌어요! je viens de commencer à apprendre le coréen et c’est vraiment amusant ainsi que le français! And I think this video just shows how fun it can be :) Love from the USA ❤️❤️
One of the best videos. I just love you guys. Thanks for the meeting and for the video. I'm a follower of you both I few months now and always wanted something like that to happen. 👏👏👏😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Tienen muy buen nivel de Español considerando que lo aprenden solos, se dan a entender y alcanzar un nivel así siendo autodidactas es muy complicado, requiere muchas, muchas y muchas horas de estudio y pasión. Felicidades a los dos, son una inspiración!
watching the spanish and chinese was so encouraging! this is the level im at when i speak vietnamese even after almost a year and it made me feel a lot better to see other people showing this level of proficiency in a conversation
after several months of studying, its really exciting to be able to understand everything you both said in french. For me, the most exciting part of language learning has been graduating from understanding material meant specifically for learners to being comfortable with some material meant for native speakers. It really does feel like taking off the training wheels to a bike and being able to balance.
This video was so fun to watch! I'm an intermediate French speaker and a beginner at Mandarin so It was really enjoyable to see you guys speaking normally at varying levels of fluency. It was also a fun test for me to see what I could understand. :) Super inspiring to watch, thank you so much!
Wow, I've enjoyed it so much 😍 thanks for doing your best to be authentic here. I came across your channel a few weeks ago then forgot about it. But yesterday I saw one of your videos again and now I'm trying not to binge watch it all tonight ! Thanks for creating this channel, I'm remembering how grateful I am to be fluent in another language than my native one 🙏
I am Japanese, learning English and Spanish. Thank you for uploading this video. It gave me a lot of power. Muchas gracias por subir el video. Disfruté y aprendí mucho ありがとう！とっても楽しいビデオでした。また頑張ろうと思いました。
I spent my whole life in Singapore and I still can't understand Mandarin 😬Lindie, if you stay in Singapore any longer, you might just wanna pick up Malay too. It's such an easy language that you'll be speaking fluently in a couple of months 🤣
Robin's spanish is actually quite good, he doesn't make that many mistakes with genders and verb conjugation wich are the two things that many non native speakers struggle with, on the other hand you can see Lindi making these tipical non native mistakes but her pronunciation is quite good. I love seeing people learning my native language ❤️
Robin has been learning for many years and he's excellent! Really inspiring. Yeah, I haven't even learnt the past tense yet cause Spanish is my newest baby language. I'm a total beginner hahaha
absolutely loved this video! you two are both big inspirations for me and a big part of that is your honesty. I think you should do another video with robin where one of you speaks language 1, while the other replies in language 2, then cycle through these different languages you share. could be a fun twist on this video (much more difficult too, i'm sure)
Thank you so much to both of you for doing this video! It was great to see conversation in so many languages and it was even greater to see the honesty concerning levels, ability, and struggles. (I don't know past tense in Spanish either, but that's OK, it'll keep us grounded in the present! 🤣) I also really enjoyed learning more about the Chinese language and the different accents.
Lo que me gusta especialmente es que realmente tenéis muchas cosas que decir. No es hablar por hablar y decir tonterías. Il y a trop de youtubers qui seulement parlent de conneries principalment pour surprendre les autres. Speaking other languages should be also a means of interchanging relevant information. Another thing I appreciate very much is how relaxed you feel with making mistakes or not remembering words. Nobody's perfect.
I just discovered your channel and I loved this video! I'm a Spanish native speaker, so I want to say: ¡ánimo estudiando español! Your level is good and you said you were just starting! I was also able to understand some bits in Japanese and French, because those were two languages I used to study. I hope I can find the time to retake them, and this channel might help inspire me, so thank you!
Me encantó este vídeo porque a pesar de los errores lo que dicen se entiende y creo que es lo más importante : hacer que la gente te entienda para poder compartir con los demás y experimentar 🥰
You can see Lindie made some mistakes & isn't that confident speaking Spanish, but I was really impressed despite that. That is great progress for someone who's only been studying for ~1 yr. And it's interesting how Robin's voice & mannerisms change noticeably when speaking other languages.
Super vidéo ! J’ai adoré. Voilà ce qu’il nous faut pour nous donner envie à tous de poursuivre. Merci à tous les deux pour votre générosité et bravo pour votre travail !

My parents told me that I was really good at it at the time (I’ve forgotten all of it, I can barely count to ten now) and it was my first time with other languages. I hope one day to reconnect with that Spanish, but it’s certainly not a priority yet. I’ll be working on Japanese for quite a few years before I even think of learning other languages - and Afrikaans is probably my next choice, since I’m half South African.
Lol, I definitely understand the “あの” slips, I use it more than “Um” at this point, even with English, and people always get confused. To which I respond with “あのうう… It’s hard to explain.”
Hello.. thanks for sharing your views.. how long have you been learning Japanese and French?
@@vangogh8644 I’ve been learning French for four years in School, and two years self studying (worth noting that I didn’t study very often per day though, I likely could’ve reached my level faster if I invested more time and money into studying). I am Canadian, so for our Junior High French classes are required, and for High School they’re optional. I’m taking them again for Grade 11, just to help maintain the language since my High School didn’t offer Japanese. I’ve only been studying Japanese for a month now, but I’ve always loved the country. How about you, what languages do you speak (or studying towards)?
@@tiny_tuba9756Thanks for replying. I speak English, Hindi (my mother tongue). I have been learning French for almost 3 years now. In Japanese I only know Hiragana and Katakana so far! Lol. And I have been learning Spanish for fun on Duo Lingo.☺️
LOL the same with me, Im really bad at remembering vocabulary reading, but I remember it meanings and how to use it, and pitch accent, lol, for now im working more on understanding the language so I'm not really looking for speaking related studies 😷 But damn, I love kanji, I like how the grammar works (even when there are some things that I dont understand, but naturally i will, e.g., は and が particle, now im really good at them)
@@tokkieram Can you suggest some books for Kanji?
she sounds like a native japanese speaker when she speaks japanese omg ! i love it
Robin is an absolutely brilliant source of inspiration. So pleased to see this collab. Loved his one with Richard Simcott recently too :)
This video is delightful.. two of the most humble and honest "polyglots" out there... neither are afraid to tell you how much learning languages is really hard work but also immensely rewarding and even life changing
I’m loving this video, Lindie! I would love to have a chat with you, maybe one day. ^^
I am so happy I could turn off subtitles during the spanish section and understand everything you two said! Its moments like that that keep me motivated to learn not only spanish but other languages over time!
Y’all are inspiring! To be able to learn many languages and speak in them is so awesome! I can only hope to become that good with my Japanese and improve my French 😩 great collab! 💕
Ahh thank you Ruby!! We're all in this together!
Amen. Sothlice.
OMG guys I LOVED this video!!! I was expecting this crossover for a long time! You both are so inspiring in the language learning journey, I am currently learning french and mandarin chinese (I already know english and spanish, which is my mother tounge), thanks very much for this, it was quite entertaining and inspiring, I hope that one day I could be able to do this challenge as incredible as you guys did. Thanks again, love you both
I love how down to earth this video is. This was very enjoyable to watch, the conversation was interesting and it was great to be reminded that it's okay to forget languages.
I was able to understand almost everything in japanese with subs (yt generated). Im happy.
Btw, I loved the video, I love all ur videos it makes me inspired, thank u a lot for making them.
Oh my gosh, that's one of the best feelings ever! Good job 😄
Love these videos! Hope to see more of these multilingual conversations! Awesome! Thank U
Thank you for watching! Always nice to see your comments!
Yes, Lindie, could we have more? Maybe a three-person? Even another dozen two-person( hope that's not too ambitious for me to ask) videos😉.
OMG I love Robin!! 😭😄😄 Love all the videos of you talking with other polyglots!
He's great! We had a lot of fun
Yeeees! 😍 Made my day seeing you two together!
Thank you for watching!!
Hi Lindie and Robin! I can speak in all the languages you spoke in this video, but at different levels. The thing that made me proud was that I understood almost everything in chinese, although I've been learning it since this march and I'm aiming to a HSK 2😅👌 moreover, I see that your spanish has improved a lot! Enhorabuena, Lindie! 👏 私もリンヂイさんとロビンさんのように日本語を話したいですよ😍
Thank you so so much! It was a challenge for us listening to it without subtitles too😄 and your openness about making mistakes is admirable, 非常感谢, muchas graciasss
I couldn't stop smiling! It was so so pleasant to listen to your conversation! And so many important and inspiring things have been said! Hope to see more collab videos from you two! :)
Amazing convo! I enjoyed a lot this video, you guys are my favorite polyglots, I been waiting for this Collab like you guys have no idea! Thanks for being so genuine and vulnerable by not being afraid of making mistakes in every language, God bless you guys, saludos desde México! :)
Oh god! I always wanted to watch your conversation video with Robin 🌸
I really appreciate the honesty of this video. Sometimes we feel like we are the only ones struggling and, as you said (it was the part in french I think), it is important to show the mistakes as well and not try to give a perfect image. As a language learner, I think this video is way more inspiring than seeing seemingly perfect people.
I'm very impressed about the taking-notes-in-japanese part, I tried it once and it just seemed impossible. And you just answered very honestly my everlasting question about how to maintain our highest level in all languages: you don't, they just keep varying in level and we keep forgetting and remembering.
Thank you very much for your honesty and for motivating everyone!!
This was really cool to witness. Was nice to see times where they corrected themselves and helped each other out too, like when Robin started with "我知道很多人" and corrected to "认识"
It's 1:30am and I was just gonna pop into this video to check it out a little bit before going to bed but it was so interesting that I stayed for the whole video. I hope you do more; it would give you guys some more conversation practice and me some listening practice in my languages.
This is so interesting! As a French native speaker it's always really nice to hear people speak French. I also really like the fact that both of you are super honest on how language learning can fluctuate and how maintaining languages is sometimes hard!
日本語の部分とても楽しく聞かせてもらいました、ありがとうございます！日本語ってほんとに難しいと思うのでここまで話せるようになったお二人はすごい！！感動してます
This is the coolest video, I'm so happy to see two polyglots I admire soo much doing a video together speaking these languages!!! I just couldn't understand Japanese 🤭😍😍 do make more videos like that
También comento por acá :') (te stalkeo por twitter, Insta y por aquí) Que felicidad me da este video! Los dos son fantásticos. Y me encanta como ambos disfrutaron la charla.
I love these kinds of videos where you have conversations in other languages
This video was truly amazing! It should have been a herculean task to activate switches between languages timely! Languages and languages are everywhere...Great job, Lindie! 😃
Muy amable por publicar este vídeo en tantas lenguas! Me siento más cómoda por mirar los dos practicando los idiomas sin guión frente de una gran audiencia! Me puse paralizada por hablar en cualquier lengua aparte del inglés. Después de llevar diez años estudiando el español, la manera en que lo hablo le falta esa cierta calidad... supongo que es la fluidez. 谢谢多这个视频！我不知道怎么口音我学。到现在我学了中文四年了。我一切明白你们，很高兴极了😊
Your Chinese has some grammatical errors，you need say感谢这个视频！我以前不知道怎么学口语。到现在我已经学了四年中文。现在我已经明白了，非常高兴！
I wanna be both of you when I grow up omg
This was so fun and just comforting to watch! It's really nice to hear from you both so honestly about your experiences, especially as fellow very-online language learners. I loved getting to watch the French and Spanish without subtitles and feel like part of the multilingual chat too! I can't wait to come back to this someday when I've studied some Japanese and be able to follow another one of the discussions in a new way :)
this type of videos motivate me to keep learning I'm in shock of how much japanese and french I understood.
Thank you for making this video it was a lot of fun to watch ❤❤
Lindie and Robin...! wonderful...! Best regards from Venezuela.....
jasjas, que bueno saber que hay otro latinoamericano que mira este canal😂,saludos desde México
Literally my favorites in one video ❤ I cannot wait for Robin's video with you, even though I don't know a lick of Japanese lol English and Spanish were the only ones I understood in this one, but it was so great to see this comradery ❤💙 as always, you guys are so inspiring ❤
Igualmente. Español y inglés.
Linda hablando español es muy tierna 😊😊 and she is getting better
i’m beyond proud of myself for understanding the spanish bit without subtitles, this is a new feeling for me 😂😂
Love the both of you, not only for all your language work but for who you are.
Wow, two of my favourite YTbers for language learning! Nice video, mach weiter so! Seguid igual! 🙏👏🏻
I really wasn’t sure how I was gonna like this video. But it was GREAT!! I really enjoyed seeing you guys travel the world through language before my eyes! Such an awesome interview. And excellent questions Lindie 👍🏾
Amazing, congrats guys!!!
this is actually crazy. I was really convinced that forgot all my french because my level of speaking was never high enough in school (95 in listening tests and 0 in writing tests). I studied it for 7 years and got to the point of really understanding almost everything but i was simply never able to speak… so i gave up on french even after i started studying other languages.
But here i forced myself not to look at the subtitles and it’s crazy that i only had to look at them for a certain word once or twice. I genuinely thought I wouldnt be able to understand more than two words so this is… really crazy for me.
It’s an eye opener. And even tho I probably won’t get back to learning french any time soon I will get rid of that thought that I simply “failed” at french and should move on.
Thank you for this
i really had an amazing time watching you bpth speak all the languages that i already master or that I'm learning currently, i'm so proud of you and myself too because i made so much progress that i'm not using subtitles anymore. i remember a year earlier i was watching your videos to get some Japanese learning resources and now that i can understand what are you saying makes me really happy . Thank you Lindie for being a huge source of motivation for me . Je ne pourrais jamais être assez reconnaissante ❤️
谢谢您给我制作视频了。你们用汉语和日语对话的时候，你们的对话也是特别是对提高我的聆听力有大帮助。我还正在学习，如果汉语法错了的话很抱歉！🙏🏻 以后我也会努力学习汉语和日语和韩语。。。
你的中文很好，加油！
@@salmonpeach5703 谢谢您！
Robin: でも what's everybody??
Lindie: 都？！🤔
Robin: 大家😁
Lindie: 大家!😅
They both are reflection of me while I was talking with my friends learning language as well by switching languages one n another, it's quite getting my brain suddenly forgot to remember word even a basic word.
이 비디오 진짜 사랑했어요! 린디와 로빈 너무 재밌어요! je viens de commencer à apprendre le coréen et c’est vraiment amusant ainsi que le français! And I think this video just shows how fun it can be :) Love from the USA ❤️❤️
One of the best videos. I just love you guys. Thanks for the meeting and for the video. I'm a follower of you both I few months now and always wanted something like that to happen. 👏👏👏😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏
Tienen muy buen nivel de Español considerando que lo aprenden solos, se dan a entender y alcanzar un nivel así siendo autodidactas es muy complicado, requiere muchas, muchas y muchas horas de estudio y pasión. Felicidades a los dos, son una inspiración!
watching the spanish and chinese was so encouraging! this is the level im at when i speak vietnamese even after almost a year and it made me feel a lot better to see other people showing this level of proficiency in a conversation
Robin is one of my favorite language-learning TH-camrs. It's so much fun to see the two of you together!
I always have motivation to learn languages after watching your videos! Thank you Lindie for being here❤
Oh my gosh, you two know each other! I've been following both your channels and didn't know it! XD
after several months of studying, its really exciting to be able to understand everything you both said in french. For me, the most exciting part of language learning has been graduating from understanding material meant specifically for learners to being comfortable with some material meant for native speakers. It really does feel like taking off the training wheels to a bike and being able to balance.
This video was so fun to watch! I'm an intermediate French speaker and a beginner at Mandarin so It was really enjoyable to see you guys speaking normally at varying levels of fluency. It was also a fun test for me to see what I could understand. :) Super inspiring to watch, thank you so much!
I love it! Vulnerability is the main takeaway in this video. Keep it up. 🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, I've enjoyed it so much 😍 thanks for doing your best to be authentic here.
I came across your channel a few weeks ago then forgot about it. But yesterday I saw one of your videos again and now I'm trying not to binge watch it all tonight !
Thanks for creating this channel, I'm remembering how grateful I am to be fluent in another language than my native one 🙏
My two favourite language TH-camrs having such a great conversation, I love it! This is a fantastic video, thanks for sharing
ロビンさんの「そやねえ」がいいね！
ちょっと関西っぽいアクセントで、優しいイメージです！
Found you
I am Japanese, learning English and Spanish. Thank you for uploading this video. It gave me a lot of power.
Muchas gracias por subir el video. Disfruté y aprendí mucho
ありがとう！とっても楽しいビデオでした。また頑張ろうと思いました。
Hola, tu español es muy bueno, felicidades.
@@gerlautamr.656
¡Gracias!
I spent my whole life in Singapore and I still can't understand Mandarin 😬Lindie, if you stay in Singapore any longer, you might just wanna pick up Malay too. It's such an easy language that you'll be speaking fluently in a couple of months 🤣
U should study mandarin in Taiwan
Robin's spanish is actually quite good, he doesn't make that many mistakes with genders and verb conjugation wich are the two things that many non native speakers struggle with, on the other hand you can see Lindi making these tipical non native mistakes but her pronunciation is quite good. I love seeing people learning my native language ❤️
Robin has been learning for many years and he's excellent! Really inspiring.
Yeah, I haven't even learnt the past tense yet cause Spanish is my newest baby language. I'm a total beginner hahaha
@@LindieBotes you are doing very good i know how complicated learning a language is !
absolutely loved this video! you two are both big inspirations for me and a big part of that is your honesty. I think you should do another video with robin where one of you speaks language 1, while the other replies in language 2, then cycle through these different languages you share. could be a fun twist on this video (much more difficult too, i'm sure)
Aaaaa this video was so nice to watch!!!!
Thank you so much to both of you for doing this video! It was great to see conversation in so many languages and it was even greater to see the honesty concerning levels, ability, and struggles. (I don't know past tense in Spanish either, but that's OK, it'll keep us grounded in the present! 🤣) I also really enjoyed learning more about the Chinese language and the different accents.
Two of my favorite TH-cam friends! I love both of your channels! What a wonderful talk. It is definitely interesting and fun to listen in! ❤️😊
The more I watch your videos, the more motivated I am on learning more Languages!
As someone who’s studying Spanish, understanding their conversation is one of the best achievements.
Lo que me gusta especialmente es que realmente tenéis muchas cosas que decir. No es hablar por hablar y decir tonterías. Il y a trop de youtubers qui seulement parlent de conneries principalment pour surprendre les autres. Speaking other languages should be also a means of interchanging relevant information. Another thing I appreciate very much is how relaxed you feel with making mistakes or not remembering words. Nobody's perfect.
managed to turn the subtitles off during the spanish bit and still understood everything :D very exciting
I just discovered your channel and I loved this video! I'm a Spanish native speaker, so I want to say: ¡ánimo estudiando español! Your level is good and you said you were just starting! I was also able to understand some bits in Japanese and French, because those were two languages I used to study. I hope I can find the time to retake them, and this channel might help inspire me, so thank you!
Ah yes! Happy you guys finally doing a Collab now! Felt weird to me I hadn't seen you two interact much! But now all is right in the language world.
I wish the video would not end I loved the video so much.. I love you from Oman 😘💛
Me encantó este vídeo porque a pesar de los errores lo que dicen se entiende y creo que es lo más importante : hacer que la gente te entienda para poder compartir con los demás y experimentar 🥰
You can see Lindie made some mistakes & isn't that confident speaking Spanish, but I was really impressed despite that. That is great progress for someone who's only been studying for ~1 yr. And it's interesting how Robin's voice & mannerisms change noticeably when speaking other languages.
Super vidéo ! J’ai adoré. Voilà ce qu’il nous faut pour nous donner envie à tous de poursuivre. Merci à tous les deux pour votre générosité et bravo pour votre travail !
Great chat, nice to listen to (and watch). Inspiring. Thanks to you both.
This is already one of my favourite videos. 二人ともの日本語がやべぇな！还有这是我第一次我听过你的中文的说话啊，挺厉害！ HAH wanna do this with yall!!!
