I realize you may be a bit unused to such a public format, but I really enjoyed it. I really liked you speaking multiple languages, it really made me put my work away and learn some Czech (the one I'm learning now). And also, the little excursion you did through the city was really interesting 😄 Don't overstrain yourself, get enough sleep, and eat well! Greetings from Ukraine!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I hope you are safe and well where you are....Greetings and best wishes from Australia! ❤
Omg I’m Armenian and was totally taken by surprised when you mentioned the old Armenian community of Singapore! We’re very proud of our alphabet and there’s a lot of art associated with it! Thanks for sharing :)
That is so awesome to hear, thank you for sharing!!!
It's great to be seeing your videos more often again, Lindie! ♥ It was fun watching you while walking around the park and other places. It would be good to do that more but also find some areas where you can sit or at least catch your breath. Also, I really enjoy you adding in stuff about tech and graphic design. This is because my work is similar but more in engineering, CAD, solid modelling, 3d printing, etc. Keep up the great work! 🌏🌍🌎☯🆒☮😎
Lindieee tu español ha mejorado muchísimo 🥺♥️🇲🇽 Realmente siempre me inspiras mucho a seguir estudiando idiomas, gracias por eso✨
Really enjoyed this video! It’s cool to see you speaking so many languages in a vlog type video 😊
I know very little about Singapore, and I find the glimpses of everyday life there fascinating.
I love this kind of video style especially from you!! Take it easy. Much love!
I had my first conversation with a native Japanese speaker a few days ago! Me and my mom were in Disney World's Epcot, and they have the World Showcase there where you can travel to different parts of the park dedicated to different countries. The countries are Mexico, China, Norway, Italy, America, Morocco, Japan, France, the UK, Germany, and Canada. A great place to practice, because they have all sorts of Cast Members that are a part of the different countries that are represented there. I met a sweet Japanese woman at the front of the Japan showcase and I said to her こんにちは，お元気ですか？ And her reaction was so sweet! We had a short conversation and she slowed down her speaking so I could understand her better. It took me a second, but I understood almost everything and we would switch to English when there was a word I didn't know. I could only imagine what was going through my mom's head, not knowing what we were saying to each other. She didn't even ask, because she didn't want to butt in. It was a really cool experience, and I would love to do it again! Definitely speak to natives whenever you can, guys. 頑張ってください！
The video was so great!! I'm sure it was tiring and time consuming though, both filming and editing/subtitling. Talking by yourself on the street feels really awkward, but I loved seeing you speaking different languages and all the different places you went to! Thanks for sharing and I'll look forward to the next videos!!
i reeeeally enjoyed watching this video, lindie! it is such an inspiration to see you shift through languages, and your vlogging is just so calming. i would love to watch more of this type of content, if doesnt bother you💖
I'm loving these vlogs !!!
Hearing all the different languages truly made my day! 🤗 Keep taking it one day at a time!
I'm so glad you said that about the apartment because I was really worried... 😅
Loved this video and getting a bit of a peek of your life in Singapore. Such a great city!
Inspiring as always!!! I love your videos, it was really cool to see you working with design related stuff =)
CHICKENS!!!!! 🐔💗 sooo cute! Lindie, for someone who considers herself still in the beginner phases of Spanish, you express yourself very well 🤓 your journey is always inspiring! Although I am most "advanced" with French and German, I still do my best to focus on those languages and alternate between my other beginner languages... But that may slightly change in the coming new year. Thanks for your wonderful videos 🥰
Are there any bekisars in Singapore?
i follow u for ur language learning content but this outdoorsy vlog was amazing to see, i recently grew fascinated by singapore so seeing more of it is amazing, thank u for showing us around (":
Love love love this vlog! Do make more a day in the life of videos where you converse in multiple languages. It's very inspirational!♥
Also very cool to see familiar places since I'm a Singaporean. Haha. 🇸🇬
I shall set my resolution this year to properly learn Malay! Also just followed you on Twitter. :) 💪🏼
I loved this video! Please do it more Lindie! 😄😃
I get so much from your videos, including in this fun format! I grew up in a city called Glendale in California where there is a very large Armenian community. It was SO cool to learn about Armenian folks in Singapore - totally unexpected! Thanks for all you teach & share❤✨
I think Lindie that no matter what kind of videos you make, as long as you publish them, we'll love them🤗
I love such videos! Thanks for making such content pls make all of such videos 😍
Je suis ta chaîne depuis un moment, et tu m'inspires beaucoup pour garder ma motivation à apprendre des langues. Maintenant je vis à Singapour depuis quelques mois et c'est drôle de voir ces endroits de Singapour qui me sont maintenant familiers dans tes vlogs ! And its true that the chickens are everywhere here haha !
Such an interesting video Lindi. Hope you can do more like this if it is not too tiring.
Really loving this style of video!
I loved the video. I love to see different places and truthfully I am fascinated by your life. I have only come to languages in the last 2 years. Exploring different ones till I fell in love with mandarin and recently japenese.
It was a great video and I enjoyed watching it Lindie 😊 Singapore is so beautiful ❤
Sending love from Iran ❤
Hola, Lindie! Me gusta mucho este formato de vídeo en el que hablas varios idiomas! ☺️
Sólo quería decirte que tu español ha mejorado muchísimo, usas muy bien las palabras y apenas tienes que parar para pensar qué decir! Sigue así! 🙌🏻
Espero que tú y tu familia estéis muy bien ❤️
Great video 👏🏻👏🏻
Omg im early lol
Anyways super excited to watch the video! Lindie’s posts always make my day
Hope you enjoyed it!
I know it’s uncomfortable but I actually enjoyed you speaking outside 😊 was a very refreshing video
this was super interesting and has given me the travel bug! adding Singapore to my list x
Loved it Lindie 💖🌸🔆🌈🍀😄
Thank you for sharing this fantastic video. You always inspire myself
This might be my favourite type of video of yours! Please share more :)
Yay! Thank you!
Very cool to see what a Saturday is like in Singapore.
This park is amazing and this vlog too!
I really enjoy this kind of videos, so i want to watch them more. Please make them 😊😊
I don't know why when you speak Afrikaans I thought you were speaking in English or Dutch, Afrikaans is such an unique language
Anyways really enjoyed the video it definitely motivated us to learn the language we want
This video was really nice! I like the more casual style of talking about languages while just going about your day. The casual switching between languages was also very interesting as I sometimes didn't even notice the language had changed, which shows how well you're able to express yourself in them.
I'm also curious, do you notice that your French podcast gets easier to follow when you're about to fall asleep? I seem to get better at understanding languages I'm still learning when I'm almost asleep and I wonder if it's because I'm too tired to doubt my skills during those moments. I was wondering if others have similar experiences
Incrível acordar com um vídeo desse, grande motivação de Lindie
True 👍👍👍
Hi, Lindie! I loved the video and I'd definitely like to watch more of this kind, as long as you feel comfortable filming them of course. Btw, maybe you've already realized while editing but, anyways, I have a couple Spanish corrections, in case you still need them.
First, "buscar" means to search for something, while "encontrar" means to find something, maybe you mixed them. And second, if you say that someone is a beginner, you use "ser" instead of "estar" because it is about what you are and not about how or where you are (this is hard to explain since in english it's the same verb haha but i hope you can understand it). If you want to use the verb "estar" when talking about being a beginner at something, you can say "estoy empezando" which means that you're starting, like, you've just started and/or you're at a beginner level.
Hope it was helpful
Woah, your life was quite different in Singapore... Please make a multilingual vlog again! I think it's very interesting to see!
Please make more video blogs, this one was amazing.
한국말을 자주 해줘서 더욱 친근감이 느껴집니다. 일상 브이로그 스타일 영상 너무 좋아요. 여러나라 말 공부하는거 너무 하고싶게 만들어 주시네요. 정말 감사합니나. 언젠간 꼭 따라해 볼꺼예요. Thank you very much. 谢谢。
Oh my Gosh, I love your channel. Ok, I’m here, also living and working in Singapore lol
This is an incredible video! Please do more of these from time to time!
Q: What does advanced language study look like for you? You talked about still sitting down to actually study Korean after 10+ years. What are you concentrating on more (vocab/grammar)? Do you even find something new meaningfull to learn?
English is that type of language for me now and I'm kinda lost.
Thank you.
Love from Israel❤
Thank you! I focus on vocabulary. Most grammar concepts are pretty solid but I lack advanced vocabulary. I find new words in the books I read. Good luck with your English!
cada vez me encantan más tus videos, realmente me han mantenido motivo en el camino del aprendizaje de idiomas. Muchas gracias. Espero algún día tener la oportunidad de hablar contigo. Saludos...
That mama hen and her chicks were so cute!!!
I really like this kind of video.
Also, multilingual video is very cool 😎 thanks for posting this, hope to see more!
I love this kind of video where you see other cities and also learn languages as well. If you feel comfortable with it...could you please make this kind of video in South Africa as well?
Hola lindie what a great video
Glad you liked it!!
My insomnia routine is taking a melatonin pill, reading in bed for 30 min, meditating in bed for 10 min, watching asmr for 20 min and then listening to a headspace sleepcast to drift oft to sleep. works like a charm 99.9% of the time
Woah! I was not expecting the shop to be named Inisfree. If you don't know, The Lake Isle of Inisfree is a famous, and one of my personal favourite, poem by Irish poet W.B. Yeats. The poem was written when Yeats was feeling homesick during his time in London. It is also a real place you can visit! :D
A very enjoyable video, thank you !!
我在学习中文。
我觉得中文很难，但我喜欢每天学习。
中文是我最喜欢的语言。(at least my favorite to study at the moment, it's liable to change depending on many factors XD)
我一年前开始。(I think)
And I'll stop here, but I find that if I like the language, studying a bit every day or so is fun and enjoyable and great as a good start of the day.
It's true though that English is my second language and I don't study it, however I do use it fairly often on internet and I found that it's enough for me to maintain english while my chinese needs very, very regular work or I forget everything.
I had a few multilingual days at a Sukkot campmeeting! There was a Haitian-Canadian (if he's talking on the phone and it sounds like French, but I can't understand a sentence, I figure it's Creole), some Spanish speakers came from Mexico and elsewhere, a Brazilian and his wife who now live in Israel baptized two people in Hebrew, and a couple from New Zealand spoke a few words of Maori. Hearing Hebrew in a Miner Brazilian accent and a New Zealand accent was interesting. I read a bit of the New Testament in Greek (also brought the Peshitta) and sang in Spanish a song I translated from Hebrew and another that was translated from Hebrew a long time ago.
Thanks Lindie for your video, i like the idea of us seeing your day but i realise walking in Singapore can be wearing and exhausting having visited Singapore many times over 30 yrs. Keep safe Lindie and thanks again
아마도 특별한 언어적 재능을 가졌다기 보다는 항상 열려있고 끊임없이 매진하는 열정을 다시 일으키는 에너지원을 가지고 계신듯 합니다. 대단합니다^^
Ah une vidéo qui commence en français ! Très bien
FYI: The Spanish word for ‘cafe’ is ‘cafetería’ and ‘forget’ is ‘olvidar’. (:
이게 영상은 스타일 너무 좋아해요
많이 언어들이 들었어요 :)
Museum = bijutsukan 美術館
Keep up the vlogs and great content Lindie, stay safe, more power
Spanish "olvidar" and French "oublier" are both from Vulgar Latin "oblitare", from "oblitus", participle of Latin "oblivisci". Noli oblivisci!
Love how even when abroad and speaking Afrikaans, you still mix it up with English. XD I can't say it's necessarily a South African thing only, but holy smokes do us Saffas mix Afrikaans and English from sentence to sentence.
Bonjour Lindie!!!
Salut!!
The word “museum” has two expressions in Japanese.
“hakubutsu-kan(博物館)” is used for a building where there are historical and scientific objects.
“bijutsu-kan(美術館)” means a building in which artistic objects are exhibited.
It’s a confusing point for Japanese learners…
Where would the graves be then Lindie??
Ah 8:10 German???
Lindie is learning New Languages
😁😁😁😁😁
I was surprised too!
Hi Lindie I was wondering why you left Singapore?
Have a good Sunday ☀️
My mom got sick with cancer so I had to leave.
Tu video fue muy interesante! Estoy en desacuerdo con la persona que dijo que ya no se usa hacer videos así. Creo que es muy chulo ver Singapur desde tu punto de vista. BTW me preguntaba que extraño que no sabes Holandés, si ya eres nativa Afrikaans. Saludos uit Pays-Bas ! 👋
Fort Canning..😍
Ook al is mijn moedertaal Nederlands, ik vind het toch verrassend moeilijk om Afrikaans te verstaan. Ik denk dat ik er ongeveer 75% van versta zonder ondertiteling. Als Nederlandstalige klinkt Afrikaans best bizar en grappig, maar het wel een leuke taal! Is Nederlands gemakkelijk te verstaan als Afrikaanstalige?
Is it true that Singapore is kind of a authoritarian state?
Lovely as always. 国立博物館(National Museum)😆
How much time did you spend everyday to learn these languages?? 🥺🥺🥺
I answer this question in the video!
Are you back in Singapore?
No, this footage is slightly old
Chào em! Chị cũng thích innisfree 😍
Em vẫn học tiếng việt được không?
I just noticed the Mexican flag when you're speaking Spanish. Are you learning specifically Mexican Spanish? Just curious :)
It's a Mexican American friendship concept flag that my friend made. It's not the real Mexican flag
@@LindieBotes Oh okay gotcha! It just looks exactly like the Mexican flag so I was curious
Lindie: mixing all her 6 and more languages up
Me the tryhard-polyglot: can't even switch from German to English to another language I'm learning even with breaks in between
Why I'm reading the English subtitles when she's speaking Spanish if I'm a native Spanish speaker? 😅
palun veel
Olvidar is forget
Do you still have to wear masks in Singapore?
This footage is from a few months ago
Mexico is not a language, it's SPANISH.
I never said that?
@@LindieBotes You use Mexico's flag every time you speak Spanish.
Lols, she uses Mexico flag because she speaks Mexican Spanish lah

Sis,you are a walking google translator 😬
