Hi, fellow polyglot here, my friends and I have followed you for a while and it's just dawning on me that it's been like 10 years 😿 Glad to see your passion still burning 😊
Omg me too, now I feel old 😂😅
I didn't recognize her at first because it's been a long time, but when she showed the old videos it clicked. Omg it's truly been a long time!!
In first in Brazil and in Portugal citizen speak the same language...
I love how you noted that "The world is more available to me" when you learn new languages. You are excited about connecting to more people. Back in college, my Freshman Comp professor wrote this quote on the board:
The limits of our language are the limits of our world. - Wittgenstein
This quote really made a difference in my life. It made learning languages to be so purposeful.
As far as language learning goes, I have learned so much Russian using a combination of Pimsleur and Duolingo. When I used Pimsleur CDs to learn Polish 17 years ago, I didn't have Duolingo, but I STILL remembered SO MUCH Polish when started with Russian, but Duolingo really upped my game.
Wow that sounds like one hell of a teacher!
This is the exact reason I started language learning and why I've deliberately learned the 5 most spoken languages (Mandarin still under construction). To communicate with the world
This is a great approach and philosophy to have when learning languages. ☝️
There are a number of closed minded older minds from my part of the world who are too afraid to approach languages this way.
When I started watching you when I was a child I only knew English but now I know French and I just started learning Portuguese. Thanks for all the memories and good times
Can you help me learn French? The pronunciation is tuff and unlike Spanish which I did in school I have no idea how to pronounce anything
as someone who been studying it for 7 years i know how you feel plus the pronunciation isn't that much of a deal @rmilan3839
@@thisformilan3839 hi :) i’m french if I can help 😊
Je suis française. I'm french and I plan to make a TH-cam channel for those who want to study it easily. Just don't give up ! 💙🤍❤️
@@thisformilan3839 maybe I can help since I’m french, do not hesitate
Learning languages makes me happy, as does meditating, journaling, traveling, reading, and learning in general. Even though I'm at a rough point in life, these things make me feel better. Love you, Jo!!
Same omg
Me too, love this

Hi, do you know about Jesus? He lived, died, and resurrected so that those who believe in Him shouldnt perish but have everlasting life. Cause yeah, right now, those who live in sin are dead in it; the wages of sin is death, but God gave a gift of life through Christ Jesus. So what? He loves us, He doesn't desire that any perish but reach repentance, and that includes you ❤. I pray you turn from your sins if you haven't yet and then seek God. He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him in faith. 😊
You know what.... I just watched this video because it's you; because I've been learning Spanish since I was in high school and I'm gonna be 34 this year and I'm still not where I want to be with the language. But you kind of just made me think that I'm probably learning too passively. The idea of repetition and really going hard to drive home what you're learning - that is very good advice. A lot of us have the problem of only being able to understand and not speak the language, and that is for lack of hammering home the grammar and the "essentials/basics" and also simply practicing speaking
I am brazilian, from Salvador and your videos are an important moment to my english studies, so, I love when it has a new video! Desculpa pelos possíveis erros.rsrsr...
Your English is good, there're some mistakes, like, you should've said "I love it when there're new videos" but it's normal and I'm sure you'll improve soon. I'm currently on the path to learning Portuguese and I've to say it's harder than I thought. I'm having a hard time with all those verb conjunctions haha
Good luck!! ❤
@@vivies2 I'm Brazilian and I have to agree with you 😅 I'm learning English and I've been meaning to learn Spanish too. Good luck with your journey, Portuguese is a difficult language, but it's a beautiful one ❤
Hi I’m from Belgium so I speak flemish. You are doing a great job in our language 💪 I’m trying to learn Korean and I’m definitely gonna use your tips. 감사합니다 (thank you)
SAMEEE, I just started though so I only know the letters in 한걸
flemish isn't a language 😭 (i'm flemish born and raised and studying linguistics at uni)
Hi there , I was so happy to FINALLY see a black woman in the polyglot community, that means a lot to me, you're inspiring .
Jesus, y'all just HAVE to drag race into everything don't you
Americans are seriously sick in the head.
You just dropped the entire goldmine. Thank you for this!
I admire your energy!!!
So glad to see you. And I appreciate this video and the free language learning sign up
Thanks for this Jo much love and blessings ❤🙏🏽
*I COULDN'T FIND YOUR CHANNELS! I'M SO SO GLAD TO HAVE FOUND YOU AGAIN!!! OMGOSHHH!*
I’m learning Swahili now. I started when I was in Kenya and am preparing to go back and be able to speak and sing in Swahili. I needed to see this. The why is there. Time for the action and accountability. ♥️
Kenyan here! Great that you're learning Swahili!
I want to learn Swahili too since my family is Kenyan. I now a bit, but I'm going to relearn once I learn German
Aww that is great. I want to learn Swahili and Spanish after I become fluent in French. I know a few words in Swahili.
You've inspired me!! I used to love learning languages when I was in college. I at one point was fluent in Spanish but haven't used it in such a long time. I'm feeling motivated to get back fluent in Spanish AND learn Italian for an upcoming trip to Italy! Thanks.
YAY! You cna do it!!!
What helps getting through the hard times is discipline or setting up a good habit routine for learning. Plus everything else that Jo said.
So true! Habit is more powerful than anything else!
This video came at such a perfect time. I've been in the Middle East for a month now learning Arabic and hit that mental block you described, convincing myself this language is just too hard to master. Needed to remind myself that it's a long but beautiful journey ahead that could take me years or decades, but language learning will always be worth it in the end. Shukran ya habibti Jo!
Where in the Middle East are you!? I’m in the same boat, sis 🥲 Arabic is so hard but beautiful!
I have watched videos of people explaining how to study languages and this is by far the most detailed and helpful. Thanks. Am learning Chinese, 你好
There’s a few languages I want to learn and with time the list will likely grow… I took French from middle school to my sophomore year of high school but was never great at listening and speaking. I considered learning Spanish bc it’s the 2nd most spoken language in the US but somehow i fell in love with Korean. I sometimes get criticized for choosing Korean before learning Spanish (which is also on my list) but then i realize that if i follow what everyone else is saying instead of what i want-I’ll learn nothing. Never fully committing to any new language. Plus you never know where life may take you. I might need Korean someday. This video came at a perfect time.
Thanks
I literally search for this video yesterday... and you uploaded today!
Thank u for all the advice!❤
Thank you, i'm so excited for my journey into learning Portuguese.
I just discovered Language Reactor thanks to you. It's amazing. I was frustrated trying to improve my Portuguese with Netflix but always had to switch between Portuguese and English subtitles. By the was, I am from Belgium but the french part, but I speak Flemish as well :)
bravooo! boa sorteee!
Thank you for making me feel so seen! My mother introduced me to Spanish and French when I was a child. I ditched the French early and devoted myself to Spanish. I added American Sign Language to my list in high school and Chinese to my life in my early 20's. I stopped nurturing them in my late 20's. In my 30's, they spinning the block on me! You have inspired me to document my journey and to understand the gift I truly have.🥰 This is my first time on your channel and I look forward to more of your content.
You are an inspiration just like our beloved Jo ;)
@@rompecabeza1509 I'm honored to be equally inspired!
Omg thank you for this video!!!
How are you all not excited!! She is amazing!!
I am so happy I found your channel!! I’m learning Korean but I’ve gotten stuck between upper beginner/lower intermediate.
Omg I cannot BELIEVE IT, just bumped into your channel and it’s been ages since I last saw a video of yours, so happy!!!!
this is amazing!!! thank you!!!
Ohhh what a good surprise finding this video! I followed you since long time ago , I missed this videos ❤
Hi Jo! You are an inspiration and it is so cool that I am learning Flemish just like you! We got this, girl!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
signed up for the kit, thanks!
It is super inspiring to see that you have learned greek! I have been learning mainly duolingo since august of last year and just having your video here has really broken the ice on how i can further my language skills! Thank youuuuuuuu
I remember when Jo started the 21 day challenge. I started it but never got further than the first day. Hopefully will try that again 😊
Thanks so much for this video Jo. I decided to pick up learning Spanish last year after dropping it years ago. While doing Spanish lessons I thought let's add French too! lol. For a while I thought I was crazy for trying to do both, but this video makes me more confident in learning more than one language.
Thank you for this inspiration. ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤I am definitely motivated thanks Jo!!! Tuning in from NYC❤❤❤going back to re-learning Italian, Russian and Arabic ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching!!!
Your energy is so inspiring and contagious that it makes me want to learn even more languages! 🤩 (But I’ll stick with my French journey for now)
Thank you for this. New way of looking at languages for me.
Reality hit for me a year in. Then, I fell out of learning the language for 6 months, started back up again 2 months ago. I have a lot I’ve been reviewing, but I’m coming at learning with more patience, like you mentioned.
You are a fantastic teacher and polyglot role model. On my 4th language. Nothing better than learning all about a new culture through language 💙.
Thank you for your videos! The thought of being able to unlock new areas of life by learning language is so exciting! I hadn't thought about it that way before
am on day three learning chinese and i think your ideas are really helpfull ... thanks alot
I needed to see this video. I started learning Portuguese (Brasileiro) over a year ago and I’m so glad I stuck with it. Watching this video inspired me to start practicing more vocally and more intentionally. Thank you!!
Hi there! I just started learning Brazilian Portuguese. How confident in Portuguese do you feel after one year, what would you rank yourself?
RI Not AI ❤️this term and concept!!!! You're Amazing and I am grateful to have been blessed to find your channel ❣️
This is amazing!!!
There is a lot of stuff out there for people to learn the languages.
I need to make one of these videos a quarter because I'm finding so many new good apps and resources!
@@jofranco That will be great
OMG... Thank you! I have ALWAYS wanted to learn multiple languages!!! THANK YOU!
This is incredibly helpful
I'm attempting to learn my first second language which is Arabic misri and gotta say you're the reason I've gone with Pimsleur and on top of that I found an amazing tutur on Preply, Somaia! She is really really awesome! I've hit that kinda slump that you talked about there and I have to say Somaia told me the same thing and I'm kinda recognizing this part of the journey. For me its not a slump much as its a realization of what it actually takes to really learn a language/culture. It's a lot! But I've not stopped having an awesome time learning with a new friend! So thanks Jo! 🤘👿🤘
How’s your learning going? Good choice going with Egyptian though, it’s definitely the easiest dialect to learn!
I look forward to meeting you one day. Born and living in Ghana, I got my DALF C2 last year. I now speak some 8 languages in total ... And you were definitely a big inspiration when I started this "madness" back in 2013. Thanks and all the best to you! 🥴
You inspire me to get back up and continue trying to be healthy, I think a lot in those low times about how when you got shot and how you realized how important it was that you had a healthy active lifestyle which allowed you to recover when you were having a health crisis 😢❤
@8:32 you are so funny a natural comic....luv you with the songs rapping.
good luck thank you for sharing ideas
A goal without a plan is just a wish ❤💯
Look here I am 59secs into this video and I LOVE YOU! I am trying to learn Emirati Arabic and French as well I started off well but now I am slacking. I have to get your book!
GREAT video. AND. I can't believe you're learning Flemish! So few people learn it. Veel plezier!
oh my GOD, this is amazing. first of all, I'd like to say that I'm a huge fan of yours and second, the fact that you said my country makes me 10 times more interested in your Flemish learning journey. I'm originally from Suriname and we do speak Dutch and from what I hear it can be a challenging language or even an understandable language, which ever one it is, I'm sure the journey will be well worth it. the languages that I currently would like to learn and are learning are French, Italian and Turkish. Have fun on this Flemish learning journey. I hope that one day you can come to Suriname and speak Dutch.
Thank you for learning Flemish ❤
I absolutely love you! You have given me hope. My two loves are Spanish and Turkish and I am quite frustrated. I let Turkish drop a bit to focus more on Spanish only to find out that I had forgotten a lot of things that I had already learned. So, I'll probably buy your book. I must remain consistent. I've already shared my video with my cousin who also likes languages. Who knows, maybe we can do the book together.
Great video sis! 👊🏾
Holy moly 😍 i love you ❤️
Nice content ! I love it !
I just started following you cause I really want to learn a language ( french) and you should be a motivation for me,i just saw your video for the first time today
Você é a minha inspiração ❤
This video is inspiring ❤❤
just about a minute in... but omg the journal looks amazing
I mostly use Duolingo to learn French due to my busy schedule. I'm listening to French radio while working to get used to the accents and I has hyped that I could almost understand the language. It proves that applying language learning in daily life, (like listening to radio lol), is crucial.
Add more tools than Duolingo. It's a tool, but not a very good one on its own.
I loves languages with a compassion help mr
Don't use Duolingo because it makes sentences that don't make sense or that you will never use
@@Roumiiiiii- I agree some of the sentences on Duolingo are a bit weird but it's free. I use it daily so I don't forget what I already know. It just keeps it ticking away in my mind so I don't forget.
Great vid!
I’ve two main languages that I have to maintain. But then also learning Korean (at home alone) and French plus English in school. So I’ll put these tips into good use. Thanks❤
(Also your Italian pronunciation is amazing)
7 languages , that's amazing, I admire you
I’m learning my third language right now and I think you have lots of great tips!
Fantastic video 🎉
If anyone needs a tagalog study buddy let me know!
Im philam and finally seriously started learning 6 months ago. Ive hit a wall and this video was very helpful! I hope i can buckle down even more to have more quality learning time!
I would like to be that study buddy but how would we do it?
JO SUCESSOS PRA VC na sua carreira de poliglota
Great video!
Spanish...I have dreams of speaking fluently but I am definitely not there yet.
Can we take a minute to appreciate the beauty of the cinematography of these videos
Appreciate this comment 🥰
Your glasses really complement your face, you're so pretty!
Hola Jo, ¿qué tal estás? My name is James and I came across your channel for the first time today, and I wish I had found it sooner. I watched your video on your reasons for learning languages and I found it very inspiring. I speak English and Spanish, understand a bit of Italian, French, and Portuguese and have this fleeting desire to someday be fluent in all of the above, although the realities of life have held me back. I also saw that you grew up, or at least spent a good amount of time in Connecticut. I was born in Connecticut and lived there for 34 years before moving to Spain to live with my Spanish wife and daughter. I was just wondering what part of Connecticut you're from. I don't have a channel of my own but I hope to someday create videos on language learning as inspiring as yours. Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself. Perhaps we can chat someday.
Hi dear i was looking your video and you inspired me to keep learning new languages and don't quit it cause sometimes i have the same questions of why I am learning this new language but im not going to give up thank you for motivate me 😊😊🎉🎉
Fun and helpful video.
I'm Brazilian. Is your video so good .
Hi Jo! There has been a quantum leap in my learning since I watched your videos. I was c1-c2 speaker in German but could not overcome some mistakes.... now.... I am better than my boss in his own language! BOOM! Now I am going for French with a Motivation, girrrrlll! Nothing can hold me back!!! Yeah!!! Thank you, thank, thank you! You are my hero!
I'm also learning french!!! Do you want to connect? I started 2 weeks ago!!
tysm, i'm trying to create new habits now that i'm feeling like i'm in a positive time on my life (idk what is going on either) and learning new languages has become one of my favorite habits, so your help has been essential for me to start learning French, i hope we could spill some french tea together someday
Me encanto su video. Mi aprecio mucho sus palabras. Eres intelligent y muy amable. Muchas gracias. I'm a native English speaker who is trying to learn Spanish. I don't know if everything I wrote here is correct but I know if I keep doing things like this daily I'll get better than I am. Thanks a million for the idea of daily text messages to someone who speaks the target language you are trying to learn. Very often I send message to friends who speak Spanish in English because it's easier for the both of us. But if I want to learn - I gotta put in the work even when it's uncomfortable and leads to frustration and/or headaches lol.
Vandaag de dag hebben we zoveel middelen om een taal te leren, daar ben ik echt jaloers op, dat hadden we in de jaren 90 niet, toen ik heel graag Italiaans wilde leren. Nu leer ik Zweeds en Duits omdat dat makkelijker is voor mij als Nederlander, als ik deze talen een beetje onder de knie heb, begin ik misschien wel met Italiaans.
Succes met je Vlaams.
Thanks 😊
I’m from Egypt, learning Spanish and I’m so happy that you visited and learning Arabic! I can see you learn the Egyptian slang ( because it is different from other accents in the Arab world countries)
Oi Jô!!! tbm amo aprender idiomas, o que eu to aprendendo no momento é francês. Não é tão dificil por causa do português e espanhol, mas as suas dicas, vão me ajudar muuuito a desenvolver ainda mais a minha aprendizagem
Enjoyed your video and tips. I just started learning Arabic, solidly for about a month, through Duolingo. Since I want to learn the Egyptian dialect I've also just started to use TH-cam videos. At times, I feel like I'm never going to get it, some of the sounds are so difficult to distinguish from another or to pronounce. Hopefully, with time I'll be able to refine my ear as well as my verbal dexterity. Look forward to checking out your other videos and your starter kit. I'm curious when learning a language with a different script, is it better to fully know the letters and sounds before starting in on vocabulary and grammar? I've been doing both at the same time and definitely struggle more when I'm less certain of the letters.
Please do a video about your Greek journey and an updated Arabic vid 🙌🏽
Omg! You’re so cute & funny… thank you so much for this video, you give me hope. I can do this 🥰
Trynna get like you Jo! 🇵🇹🥰
Thank you 🫶🏽
thank YOU!
The effort and skill that went into the cinematography of this video is so advanced and amazing. THAT should be your profession, if it isn't already. #LoveIt
Thank you for this comment!!
@@jofrancoit's deserved. After I commented I went thru more of your videos and discovered that you ARE in fact a professional at this. #Salute 💪🏾

New subscriber this was good
Lindaaaa q saudades dos seus videos!
Hi, Jo! Sua descrição dos objetivos pra aprender uma língua me deixaram com o coração quentinho. 😊 Afinal, em um mundo em que inteligências artificiais prometem fazer tudo, aprender uma língua nova se mostra uma atividade tão HUMANA, não é?
