Je découvre votre canal et vous remercie Zoé pour l'excellence de vos interventions, celle-ci proposant une méthodique précise, bien structurée et personnalisable. Je suis bilingue F/D, et ai appris l'allemand plus vite en travaillant en usine et en vivant en collocation avec des Allemands qu'en étudiant à l'école - l'enseignement était à l'époque un désastre.

Je parviens à comprendre 2 Australiens de Brisbane parlant de foot, ce qui ne faisait pourtant pas partie du but recherché. Par contre je patine en russe et ne parviens pas à dépasser le plateau de A2 et peine toujours à comprendre les employés de banque ou des administrations, bien que j'écoute activement chaque jour les podcasts en russe.

I've been learning languages for almost two years now, but not effectively. I'll get excited and do too much, burn out, forget stuff, etc. Your video has kind of been a calm reminder to start smaller and work my way up with my languages. All of your tips and guidelines are invaluable to me, thank you!
I have been learning Dutch very irregularly for the past few years but have only ever studied very sporadically with ineffective methods and thus, have only been able to reach an A2 level in the language. In the past few weeks however, I have started dedicating 30 minutes to an hour per day to study, using mainly podcasts, television shows and TH-cam videos as well as my Dutch dictionary for vocabulary. I try and write 1-2 times per week to my family in the Netherlands via Facebook messenger and am already finding that my language skills are improving. I find that I can understand more than I can speak, so I will need to focus on conversing in the language, in the coming months. By the end of this year, I am hoping to reach an upper B1 level in the language and hopefully by next year I can reach an upper B2 level. My biggest problems have been getting too excited about different languages and study them for a week before getting bored and moving on, as well as being embarrassed to speak the language amongst family for fear of not being understood and of course, using ineffective methods but I am hoping that I am now on track to be speaking proficient Dutch by 16 and German by 19 ( I will major in German and History when I go to university in 2 years time).

I'm studying 3 languages simultaneously. One is as a master and the 2 of them are as a discoverer so thank you for the advice. Just started to make a general and short time plan.
This is precisely the kind of rigid structure and analysis that I need, as my language learning has been so scattered and disorganised for years. Great work, Zoe!
This is the first time that I see a plan for people who WORK. Usually, people who talks about study plans they talk as we have lots of free time. This plan is for REAL people. Thank you!!!!
I really liked this video Zoe! As I've written before, I study 6 languages simultaneously but I've felt that I need to set short-term goals and bring more structure into a particular language. I feel so great watching Chinese shows on Netflix now for example and being able to catch more and more words as my studies progress. So, to everyone on this journey, never give up because consistency pays off! I always look forward to your videos on my TH-cam feed! 😌
@@Jin_music_de_official heh heh, you and me both, lol. I'm so hooked. Been learning various languages on and off over the years and watching videos like this as well as several other polyglots like Steve Kauffman and Olly Richards have really inspired me to brush up on them and made me realize it's ok, I'm not crazy. Seeing Zoe do 4 at a time made me feel ok because I thought maybe I'm nuts or something. I'm focusing on them all at various levels and they are all from different language families (except for French and Spanish). I'm immersing myself in Spanish at the moment but the rest I'll do in smaller degrees so as not to get myself too confused, lol. I hope you are going strong and enjoying it.
It's exactly what I need, before I watched your video, I was feeling so confused about how should I improve my English and where should I start. For many years my English didn't improve at all, but now I understand why. Thank you so much, Zoe.
How smart woman. Honestly, not just only to teach, but your character build everyone, your vibes are the one most i like your channel, Zoe! motivated each other, and still inspired and educate.
Thank you so much Zoe! A lot of people here in the Netherlands speak more languages, me unfortunately just 1, but i am not ashamed anymore, at least i try to learn Turkish and I am very slow, but i tell people honestly i have a 6year plan! So your positive view on learning a language makes me want to to the best I can do! Thank you so much!
I love your videos! You're the only person I have found that is super real about learning languages. Other people on YT are like, "You just have to do it, just spend a lot of time every day, immerse yourself and talk to lots of people in your target language" which is not always possible. I've learned that people have different levels of ability when it comes to how 'easy' it is to learn a language. Some people pick it up easily, some people struggle a lot. I struggle tons, I've failed at 2 languages and I'm currently now working on a completely different language and I'm not going to give up! Good luck everyone (:
Salut Zoe! Vos vidéos m'inspirent vraiment. Je suis brésillienne et ma première langue étragère a été aussi le français et aussi par loisir, ce qui m'a aidé beaucoup dans mes études dans le master en Histoire. Par contre, malgré soit nécéssaire, l'anglais c'est plus difficile pour moi d'apprendre avec plaisir et encouragement. Je comprends la majorité de vos vidéos en anglais (les sous-titres en français aident beaucoup), je lis quelques sujets, mais parler.... Maintenant j'étudie coréen et arabe. Ce sont de deux langues que j'ai toujours aimé (comme le japonais, l'allemand..... ^^), mais la deuxième je suis dans l'alphabétisation encore. Cette vidéo c'est vraiment utile. Merci beaucoup! ^^
This is by far the best video I have watched on creating a good study plan, and you provided so many good examples! Would love a video on the language learner profiles :)
These profiles are such a sociology student approach to this topic and I love it! I think a lot of people will find this useful regardless of their level and schedule. Great job!
Thank you Zoe for this helpful video. I am American-Palestinian. I have been living in France for 4 years now and I still have a lot of difficulty because I don't really like the language to being with, but my kids and husband all speak it. I don't like to speak in public because I make too many mistakes. I keep making the same mistakes and I just get discouraged, especially around family members, so I don't want to sound stupid. I want to speak French fluently because I have the privilege of living in the country and because I would like to become a French citizen since my husband and children are. I will definitely watch more of your videos!
I like this level of discussion, many channels are for beginners or discoverers only, but I like the focus on the master goal, which I don’t see many polyglot channels for
Hi Zoe! I'm new here. I really love learning new languages but until now I couldn't reconnect with this passion of mine that has been put aside from a long time ago. You're really an inspiration. I can only hope you keep making this amazing content. You have gained another faithful follower. Thanks a lot!
This was extremely helpful for me! Thank you so much for making this video! As a new Korean learner as well as a freshman in high school, having this vid show how to set up an effective study plan is really useful for me! You have such a concise and easy to understand way of explaining things! Seeing you show and explain how you juggle such a busy schedule has given me motivation to be able to strive under pressure! Thank you again!
Zoe, thanks so much for this video. A light bulb went off in my head as I've been wandering aimlessly in my language study for about a year. Your video made me realize I'm not applying any of the goal setting and time management skills I used to earn my Master's and PhD. There was no school establishing a structure and timeline for my language learning and I didn't bother creating one of my own. This video made me realize why I've been lost and not really making progress. If you don't know where you are going, and you don't have a plan on how to get there, it's easy to get lost. The journey then becomes more of wandering around in a maze rather than traveling down a highway to a destination.
I’ve been studying Korean for 5years. However, I was very inconsistent and confused on how I should go about studying. I recently became an Elementary Music Teacher and strategizing and planning is definitely what I need to work on through the summer. Thank you for your guidance.
i loved this video , and you are right in everything , I have 6 months learning english and I just started study french , one of my targets is to be polyglot . and I Practice with all those videos and at the same time you inform me about many important things for learning, you inspire me a lot to go ahead with my learning, really appreciate your advices.
Excelent video! I have wanted to learn French for years and have started a few different programs. I am determined to learn but have never been able to stay with it. I am convinced that having a detailed, written and realistic plan as outlined here is the way for me. Thank you Zoe. This is the BEST approach to learning a language I have ever seen. Thank you! Maybe if schools taught his way more people would speak multiple languages.
Hi, Zoe. This video is the sincronicity I needed to get back in the right path as I listen to my target language, French, every single day but still have difficulty to write or speak confidently. Of course my comprehension level is much higher even though I've been a bit unfocused on my main goal of becoming B2!! Therefore I shall thank you for sharing these tips and that beautiful energy. Greetings from Spain!!
دَمِ شما گرم . من یه ایرانی ام. و واقعا از ویدیوهای شما لذت میبرم. خیلی عالی هستن. ممنون از شما. همچنین ویدئوهای شما به من در یادگیری زبان ترکی استانبولی و انگلیسی هم کمک زیادی کرده. همواره موفق باشید.
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I've been scouring the internet for good language learning material and busy drawing up a study plan. I've already been immersing myself mostly in Spanish to get back to the level I was previously and more, but I need to structure that and all the other bits and pieces I'm learning. I just love languages and you and Steve Kauffman, Olly RIchards, and various other polyglots have really inspired me to learn all my languages properly. This time I'm enjoying it so much more as I'm not delving into loads of grammar and verb conjugations etc. I'm just enjoying it so much, mostly listening at the moment and following some of Olly and Steve's recommendations. I'm learning so much more so fast and even watched a movie in Spanish the other night with no subtitles. I was able to understand quite a lot. This is way more fun!
يا الله، كم كنت بحاجه لهذا الفيديو!! شكراً جزيلاً كنت ادرس اللغه الكوريه على مدار السنه والنصف وحتى الان وأعتقد أن مستواي في التعلم جيد نوعاً ما ،ولكن بدأت أحتار ، أريد حقاً ان اتحدث بطلاقه وافهم بشكل اسرع، خطتي ليست بتلك الجوده المطلوبه، حتى رأيت مقطعك! حقاً انا ممتنه لك ❤
OMG ! Hi I am from French Polynesia and I love how you explain and give tips about learning new languages and stuff ! Now I know that I was doing it the wrong way it's been 2 years now that I just loose hope in learning other languages ! Actually I speak 4 languages Tahitian / French / English and Spanish because I love Asian culture I wanted to learn Japanese Chinese or Mandarin and Korean but now with your videos I get more excited by redoing it and start again once more ! JUST INSPIRING Thank you soooooo much !
Hi Zoe, thank you for another inspiring and helpful video! ✨️ I liked the way you separated between discoverer and master levels here. Also demonstrating how to create a study plan was very useful - I find I lost my structure the last 2 weeks and have been aimlessly studying French, like you mentioned, which results in feeling frustrated and that I'm not learning as effectively. So, a great reminder for me to go back to my plan and persist with structure and consistency in routine! Merci encore et j'espère tu vas bien 😊
Thank you so much for your video. I have been learning English for two years. First of all, I have learned two languages at the same time but have not worked for me. I am focusing on one language now. It is perfect. My goal is two dividends in one year. You are tips and guidelines useful for me.
No meu caso, quero fazer mestrado fora. Eu tenho estudado inglês e chinês, porque queria fazer na Universidade Tsinghua. No inglês eu já consigo entender quando falam e ler, mas tenho dificuldade para falar e com algumas regras gramaticais para escrever e por isso iniciei um curso para tentar corrigir isso e me expressar. No chinês eu estou em um período de inserção, provavelmente farei o curso na universidade para aprender a língua se conseguir a vaga. Mas é difícil para mim aprender a palavra e a escrever porque é totalmente diferente da minha língua nativa. Porém, apenas ouvindo eu já consigo identificar algumas palavras e entender seu significado.
to be honest your different videos really helps to me never give up and continue learning immediately several languages like to Turkish language 🇹🇷 and also improving English language, and for talk with different other people from Poland 🇵🇱, I'm learning Polish language and in my opinion that amazing that you're can speaking in so many languages and you really inspiring to me go next to my all goals.
[Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie meine Fehler auf Deutsch korrigieren würden.] Dankeschön für deine Vorschläge! Ich lerne seit zweieinhalb Jahren Deutsche und habe immer davon geräumt, eine polyglot zu werden. Das Ansehen deiner Videos motiviert mich nicht nur, sondern gibt mir auch viele nützliche Pläne. Ich komme aus Taiwan und Mandarin ist auch meine Muttersprache. Dann lerne ich Englisch und Deutsch für master Zwecke, und ein bisschen Japanisch, Koreanisch, Spanisch und Französisch zum Spaß. Ich werde dich weiterhin dabei unterstützen, toll Video zu erstellen. 謝謝Zoe一直拍這麼流利的說外語影片激勵大家🥺不管是什麼語言，只要至少有英文字幕，我都會點進去看的。這集真的好實用，但持之以恆與對付倦怠期真的是最難的😢
Im learning ASL currently, and want to make my plan more concrete. I love this video because most videos explaining this subject are either to hands on and have no room for flexibility or are to much of a lecture with no sure steps to take you forward. This was a perfect balance of both thankyou so much good luck with your languages
Danke sehr Zoe!!! Du hilfst mir so so viel!! Gerade lerne ich Deutsch und deine Tips sind super!! In der Zukunft ich möchte mehr Sprachen lernen, und du gibst mihr so viel Motivation für das. Danke für alles 💛💛💛💛
In der Zukunft *möchte* ich mehr Sprechen… Ich lerne auch gerade Deutsch und ich finde, das Verb „möchte“ sollte in diesem Satz an zweiter Stelle stehen.
Merhaba Zoe! I love learning new languages, and have been learning Turkish for four years now. I definitely started out as a discoverer, but now I want to move on to masters as I am in a masters program where I am using Turkish sources. This video was super helpful for me in planning my academic language journey! Çok teşekkür ederim!
Zoe, thank you for the video. You are so eloquently spoken and you share real advice that utilizes science. I thought I'd heard every bit of advice, the same thing on and on again from the internet, but you contributed something new. Thank you
I feel happy when you said you learn farsi😁. I live in Iran and farsi is my mother tongue. It would be my pleasure if I can help you learn it faster or better🌸
Hi Zoe, in the past I have attempted to learn French, German and Spanish, but because I never followed a proper plan I failed to complete either of them and dropped out midway. Now, I am planning to learn Arabic, hence, I thought that it's better to look for a language expert, and found your video. I am sure if I am able to be regular (even with 30min lessons on daily basis), I should be able to progress effectively. Thank you for your suggestions. Cheers!!
Thank you so much for the video I am learning 3 languages: Arabic for religion, English for life and Korean as a hobby,, I haven't think I needed a plan,,,, and I realize now that it was a mistake
السلام عليكم , الحقيقة انا استفدت كثيرا من المحتوى فى صفحتك وسعيد لكى بتعلمك للغة العربية , انا محمد من مصر محب لتعلم اللغات وهدفى تعليم اللغة العربية لغير الناطقين بها وانا فى مرحلة الاعداد لهذه الرحلة , شكرا لكى استمرى
This was definitely one of the most useful and helpful video I have ever watched regarding study plans. I have been feeling very confused these past few months because I had no plan or routine at all: I would one day watch a video, another day study some vocab, etc. and I get frustrated of the lack of consistency I have when studying my target language. This video has really been enlightening and I really hope to use what I've learned from this video and implement it in my study plan. Thanks again :D
I really love this video! i have been watching videos about language plans for a few days, because i was feeling a little down and desmotived about my own way to study and not being consistenly in it. So, this kind of videos are helping me a lot, seriously! Thank you so much
My favoriteeee language person , Zoey u inspire me so much to keep learning Arabic and never give up because seeing u speak is so inspiring because u are a foreigner as myself 😍😍😍💕thankyou só much i love your vídeos
Thank you so much, this for me was the best video out there on creating a language study plan. So detailed, well explained and really useful tips and strategies. You are really hard working & it shows you really have to put the work in to learn a language well. Thank you for taking the time to create these videos! ❤️
Thank you for sharing this video! It can be honestly overwhelming to learn a new language from scratch and I appreciate the honest insights that you have shared in this video. As someone who likes learning to be more or less structured, I love how you went over general guidelines to keep in mind when creating a language study plan and shared your own personal examples. Just subscribed! ^^
i am currently learning german, been taking a 3hour course 4 days a week, i can understand the grammer i can understand my homework but i still cant speak a sentence in german or understand anyone and my goal is to master german for academic purposes, this video came at a good time cause even after a month of german and i dont feel like i improved at all and i feel discouraged :(, so thank you for your advice
Do you have a life, outside of language leaning? You work so hard. But I guess if you are truely happy and passionate about your work, then it does not feel like work to you. Very inspiring, and amazing videos, please keep going, and I hope you make any video ethnography someday
I admire you for being my idol. You are so elegant, and good at beauty and fitness. Moreover, you have a logical mindset to study and work, even the way you share in these videos is so effective. Thank you so much for your channel 🥰
this video was very helpful, I'm learning English, Korean, and Japanese, I didn't have a foundation on how to study a language so I didn't have much progress with my studies
I think this video is very usefull! I learn German for now. For my profession I need B2 level. I have courses 5 time a week for 5 hours! But I can't say that it's effective( Soon I will be having A2 exam but I still struggle with grammar a lot! For now I think that reading, watching video and writing an essay is best exercise for me. Thank you!

@@patrickvandijk9187 that’s amazing! I hope you continue to make good progress :)
I believe in you. You can do it. Please never give up for your dreams ❤️❤️❤️
oh yea same here :’)
When I saw those books on the shelves, I realized the huge difference between you and me
Wow, the fact you can speak 7 languages AND do a PHD/lecture at uni in parallel is absolutely amazing, you are an inspiration!
And this is why almost everyone cannot do seven languages at once.
*1st step: Research the language*
*2nd step: Prepare the tools*
1. A main learning resource (book, website youtube channel)
2. An alphabet book or app
3. An excel table or notebook
4. A spaced repetition app (Anki, Quizlet)
5. A dictionary (with audio and conjugasion feature)
*3rd step: Choose a resource*
CRITERIAS:
1. With good quality and video
2. Each lesson has a short conversation, grammar points, a word list
*4th step: Make a study plan and know when to practice with a native speaker*
STUDY PLAN VIDEO:
th-cam.com/video/mS5Y69v0X7s/w-d-xo.html
WHEN TO START SPEAKING WITH NATIVES?
- When you have a basic structure of the language
- At least 100 high frequency words and basic grammar concept (pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, nouns)
HOW TO STUDY A LESSON?
1. Listen to the audio
2. Check new words and grammar points
3. Repeat with the audio
Add new words to the lesson
Ex: Just learned how to say ‘good’, how can i say ‘bad’?
Just learned how to say “He is a student”, how can i say it using ‘I’, ‘You’, ‘Us’?
- Make simple sentences from the beggining, with the words you learned from the lesson
- Insert this sentences in your spaced repetition app (Anki, Quizlet), and review them
- Don’t review just the word you want to, but the whole sentence
-When you see a new verb, don’t just learn it alone, but learn it’s conjugasion
TIP: Make sentences that relate to your daily life
HOW TO STUDY GRAMMAR?
- Don’t write everything down
- Don’t just copy, make phrases on your own
Thank youuu

I like this level of discussion, many channels are for beginners or discoverers only, but I like the focus on the master goal, which I don’t see many polyglot channels for
As an Iranian i wish i learn Japanese like you. You are amazing and beautiful.
You’re a very intelligent person, Zoe. I speak Greek and English ... and I’m studying Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese!
Hi Zoe! I'm new here. I really love learning new languages but until now I couldn't reconnect with this passion of mine that has been put aside from a long time ago. You're really an inspiration. I can only hope you keep making this amazing content. You have gained another faithful follower. Thanks a lot!
This was extremely helpful for me! Thank you so much for making this video! As a new Korean learner as well as a freshman in high school, having this vid show how to set up an effective study plan is really useful for me! You have such a concise and easy to understand way of explaining things! Seeing you show and explain how you juggle such a busy schedule has given me motivation to be able to strive under pressure! Thank you again!
Zoe, thanks so much for this video. A light bulb went off in my head as I've been wandering aimlessly in my language study for about a year. Your video made me realize I'm not applying any of the goal setting and time management skills I used to earn my Master's and PhD. There was no school establishing a structure and timeline for my language learning and I didn't bother creating one of my own. This video made me realize why I've been lost and not really making progress. If you don't know where you are going, and you don't have a plan on how to get there, it's easy to get lost. The journey then becomes more of wandering around in a maze rather than traveling down a highway to a destination.
I’ve been studying Korean for 5years. However, I was very inconsistent and confused on how I should go about studying. I recently became an Elementary Music Teacher and strategizing and planning is definitely what I need to work on through the summer. Thank you for your guidance.
i loved this video , and you are right in everything , I have 6 months learning english and I just started study french , one of my targets is to be polyglot . and I Practice with all those videos and at the same time you inform me about many important things for learning, you inspire me a lot to go ahead with my learning, really appreciate your advices.
Excelent video! I have wanted to learn French for years and have started a few different programs. I am determined to learn but have never been able to stay with it. I am convinced that having a detailed, written and realistic plan as outlined here is the way for me. Thank you Zoe. This is the BEST approach to learning a language I have ever seen. Thank you! Maybe if schools taught his way more people would speak multiple languages.
Hi, Zoe.
This video is the sincronicity I needed to get back in the right path as I listen to my target language, French, every single day but still have difficulty to write or speak confidently. Of course my comprehension level is much higher even though I've been a bit unfocused on my main goal of becoming B2!! Therefore I shall thank you for sharing these tips and that beautiful energy. Greetings from Spain!!
I speak 6 laguages because I study with your plan♥thank you very much zoe
دَمِ شما گرم . من یه ایرانی ام. و واقعا از ویدیوهای شما لذت میبرم. خیلی عالی هستن. ممنون از شما. همچنین ویدئوهای شما به من در یادگیری زبان ترکی استانبولی و انگلیسی هم کمک زیادی کرده. همواره موفق باشید.
Thank you making this video. I have been aimlessly trying to learn a language for a long time. Now I see where I have gone wrong and can do better.
This video couldn't have come at a better time. I've been scouring the internet for good language learning material and busy drawing up a study plan. I've already been immersing myself mostly in Spanish to get back to the level I was previously and more, but I need to structure that and all the other bits and pieces I'm learning. I just love languages and you and Steve Kauffman, Olly RIchards, and various other polyglots have really inspired me to learn all my languages properly. This time I'm enjoying it so much more as I'm not delving into loads of grammar and verb conjugations etc. I'm just enjoying it so much, mostly listening at the moment and following some of Olly and Steve's recommendations. I'm learning so much more so fast and even watched a movie in Spanish the other night with no subtitles. I was able to understand quite a lot. This is way more fun!
يا الله، كم كنت بحاجه لهذا الفيديو!! شكراً جزيلاً
كنت ادرس اللغه الكوريه على مدار السنه والنصف وحتى الان وأعتقد أن مستواي في التعلم جيد نوعاً ما ،ولكن بدأت أحتار ، أريد حقاً ان اتحدث بطلاقه وافهم بشكل اسرع، خطتي ليست بتلك الجوده المطلوبه، حتى رأيت مقطعك! حقاً انا ممتنه لك ❤
OMG ! Hi I am from French Polynesia and I love how you explain and give tips about learning new languages and stuff ! Now I know that I was doing it the wrong way it's been 2 years now that I just loose hope in learning other languages ! Actually I speak 4 languages Tahitian / French / English and Spanish because I love Asian culture I wanted to learn Japanese Chinese or Mandarin and Korean but now with your videos I get more excited by redoing it and start again once more ! JUST INSPIRING Thank you soooooo much !
Good luck
سعيدة انى تعرفت على قناتك بجد شجعتنى جدا، امنية حياتى ان اجيد عدة لغات وان اتحدثهم بطلاقة. تحياتى
Hi Zoe, thank you for another inspiring and helpful video! ✨️ I liked the way you separated between discoverer and master levels here. Also demonstrating how to create a study plan was very useful - I find I lost my structure the last 2 weeks and have been aimlessly studying French, like you mentioned, which results in feeling frustrated and that I'm not learning as effectively. So, a great reminder for me to go back to my plan and persist with structure and consistency in routine! Merci encore et j'espère tu vas bien 😊
Hi Zoe
You inspired me to learn languages now I'm learning English I'm intermediate and spanish I'm beginner
You’re absolutely right, vision is KEY! If you don’t have a vision before you start learning you could end up wasting a lot of time and resources.
Your video ideas , set up , quality and everything gets better & better 😍 !
😉😉😉
your speaking English is also improved a lot comparing with one year ago.
Thank you so much for your video.
I have been learning English for two years. First of all, I have learned two languages at the same time but have not worked for me. I am focusing on one language now.
It is perfect. My goal is two dividends in one year.
You are tips and guidelines useful for me.
No meu caso, quero fazer mestrado fora. Eu tenho estudado inglês e chinês, porque queria fazer na Universidade Tsinghua. No inglês eu já consigo entender quando falam e ler, mas tenho dificuldade para falar e com algumas regras gramaticais para escrever e por isso iniciei um curso para tentar corrigir isso e me expressar. No chinês eu estou em um período de inserção, provavelmente farei o curso na universidade para aprender a língua se conseguir a vaga. Mas é difícil para mim aprender a palavra e a escrever porque é totalmente diferente da minha língua nativa. Porém, apenas ouvindo eu já consigo identificar algumas palavras e entender seu significado.
Ah,falou português aqui? Muito prazer. Vc é de qual país？

to be honest your different videos really helps to me never give up and continue learning immediately several languages like to Turkish language 🇹🇷 and also improving English language, and for talk with different other people from Poland 🇵🇱, I'm learning Polish language and in my opinion that amazing that you're can speaking in so many languages and you really inspiring to me go next to my all goals.
非常感谢zoy！你真的是我的救命恩人💞作为一个学习中文的阿拉伯人我觉你拍的这段视频既有用也给了我大开眼界~~
这真是我在youtube上看到的最有用的study tips了！感谢🙏
چقدر خوشحالم که شما زبان مارو بلد هستید ❤
[Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie meine Fehler auf Deutsch korrigieren würden.]
Dankeschön für deine Vorschläge! Ich lerne seit zweieinhalb Jahren Deutsche und habe immer davon geräumt, eine polyglot zu werden. Das Ansehen deiner Videos motiviert mich nicht nur, sondern gibt mir auch viele nützliche Pläne. Ich komme aus Taiwan und Mandarin ist auch meine Muttersprache. Dann lerne ich Englisch und Deutsch für master Zwecke, und ein bisschen Japanisch, Koreanisch, Spanisch und Französisch zum Spaß. Ich werde dich weiterhin dabei unterstützen, toll Video zu erstellen.
謝謝Zoe一直拍這麼流利的說外語影片激勵大家🥺不管是什麼語言，只要至少有英文字幕，我都會點進去看的。這集真的好實用，但持之以恆與對付倦怠期真的是最難的😢
棒棒的！加油不要放弃！
I started to learn Japanese last year and I’m trying to figure out how can i learn more efficiently and this video has helped me a lot. Thank you
Thank you Zoe, you're the first TH-cam blogger which I pressed the bell on the channel❤️
Im learning ASL currently, and want to make my plan more concrete. I love this video because most videos explaining this subject are either to hands on and have no room for flexibility or are to much of a lecture with no sure steps to take you forward. This was a perfect balance of both thankyou so much good luck with your languages
Danke sehr Zoe!!! Du hilfst mir so so viel!! Gerade lerne ich Deutsch und deine Tips sind super!! In der Zukunft ich möchte mehr Sprachen lernen, und du gibst mihr so viel Motivation für das. Danke für alles 💛💛💛💛
In der Zukunft *möchte* ich mehr Sprechen…
Ich lerne auch gerade Deutsch und ich finde, das Verb „möchte“ sollte in diesem Satz an zweiter Stelle stehen.
@@tychen3191 Danke sehr!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Merhaba Zoe! I love learning new languages, and have been learning Turkish for four years now. I definitely started out as a discoverer, but now I want to move on to masters as I am in a masters program where I am using Turkish sources. This video was super helpful for me in planning my academic language journey! Çok teşekkür ederim!
Zoe, thank you for the video. You are so eloquently spoken and you share real advice that utilizes science. I thought I'd heard every bit of advice, the same thing on and on again from the internet, but you contributed something new. Thank you
I feel happy when you said you learn farsi😁. I live in Iran and farsi is my mother tongue. It would be my pleasure if I can help you learn it faster or better🌸
Thank you Zoe for this video 💗! I'm gonna use your advices to learn English and improve my skills^^ they're really helpful
Probably the best video I've ever seen on the topic so far! Thank you!! 💜
Hi Zoe, in the past I have attempted to learn French, German and Spanish, but because I never followed a proper plan I failed to complete either of them and dropped out midway. Now, I am planning to learn Arabic, hence, I thought that it's better to look for a language expert, and found your video. I am sure if I am able to be regular (even with 30min lessons on daily basis), I should be able to progress effectively. Thank you for your suggestions.
Cheers!!
Good luck
你是我的榜样，怎么达到我的目标。正确的事不是激励他人，而是让他人自我激励。这就是你所做的。我不能感谢你足够 因为你做什么。❤
你说得太好了，谢谢你❤️
Amazing tips and so inspiring video! Thank you so much ❤
Out of gratitude I am commenting for the algorithm. 😄
the spark and passion u have Zoe, ur dream is insallah close to coming true!! Amen!!
please make a video about how you structure your time and what tools you use on your daily (such as apps etc). you are a real goal achiever goddess!
Thank you so much for the video
I am learning 3 languages: Arabic for religion, English for life and Korean as a hobby,,
I haven't think I needed a plan,,,, and I realize now that it was a mistake
السلام عليكم , الحقيقة انا استفدت كثيرا من المحتوى فى صفحتك وسعيد لكى بتعلمك للغة العربية , انا محمد من مصر محب لتعلم اللغات وهدفى تعليم اللغة العربية لغير الناطقين بها وانا فى مرحلة الاعداد لهذه الرحلة , شكرا لكى استمرى
Your videos are gold, Zoe! Thank you so much. I've been learning languages for years and your concrete tips are beyond helpful.
Wow, this video is soooo good and helpful!!!
It was really helpful. Thank u💗
Also as a persian girl, i'm really happy that u are learning this language, have a great time with it.😍
ممنونم بابت این ویدئو. زبان مادری من فارسی است و به عنوان زبان سوم، در حال یادگیری زبان ایتالیایی هستم.❤
This was definitely one of the most useful and helpful video I have ever watched regarding study plans. I have been feeling very confused these past few months because I had no plan or routine at all: I would one day watch a video, another day study some vocab, etc. and I get frustrated of the lack of consistency I have when studying my target language.
This video has really been enlightening and I really hope to use what I've learned from this video and implement it in my study plan.
Thanks again :D
💪💪💪💪
Where are you from?
This is so inspiring!☺💗 How do you manage learning and even improving languages while doing your PhD?! Unbelievably impressive!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent practical, and academic, advice. I have a great-interest in words and music. I wish you good-luck in your endeavours.
I love learning languages as a hobby
I have leaned English by myself and now I'm with the french ❤️
I really love this video! i have been watching videos about language plans for a few days, because i was feeling a little down and desmotived about my own way to study and not being consistenly in it. So, this kind of videos are helping me a lot, seriously! Thank you so much
My favoriteeee language person , Zoey u inspire me so much to keep learning Arabic and never give up because seeing u speak is so inspiring because u are a foreigner as myself 😍😍😍💕thankyou só much i love your vídeos

مرسی ازشما خانم زویی عزیز بابت ویدیوهای مفید شما
سلام زویی. ممنون از ویدیوت❤ من مدتها دنبال یه برنامهی روزانه واسه یادگرفتن زبان بودم و دیدن ِ چنل ِ تو خیلی بهم کمک کرد.
Thank you Zoe, this is exactly what I needed. I was feeling stuck with my language learning. I will follow your tips now! Thanks for the inspiration
Hi Zoe. 🤓 我也是一个PhD student，这一次的视频真的给了我好多启发！感谢！🙏
Excellent. I love the old Chinese wisdom: "I'm not giving you a fish. I'm teaching you how to fish".
I really appreciated the subtitles in french! they are really helpful for connecting the English words to french since I'm learning it!
Thank you so much for this video, Zoe. I have a lot of thinking to do because I have some lofty language goals. This is a great help!! ❤️❤️❤️
There u go. Top audio quality!
Finally got a proper microphone 🎙 😂
@@zoe.languages Love it 🤟🏼
You're amazing, this is exactly what I needed after hitting a wall in learning my target language for academic purposes 🥰Thank you for the video!!
this was a big help, i will definitely be referring back to this video when i start my language learning journey. thank you!
I am admired Zoe very much. She is always positive and encourage me learn more as well.
zoe bana hep ilham oluyorsun herşeyinle günlük vloglar gelsin bence seninle gün geçirelim seni seviyorummmm
Thank you so much, this for me was the best video out there on creating a language study plan.
So detailed, well explained and really useful tips and strategies.
You are really hard working & it shows you really have to put the work in to learn a language well.
Thank you for taking the time to create these videos! ❤️
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this video! It can be honestly overwhelming to learn a new language from scratch and I appreciate the honest insights that you have shared in this video. As someone who likes learning to be more or less structured, I love how you went over general guidelines to keep in mind when creating a language study plan and shared your own personal examples. Just subscribed! ^^
i am currently learning german, been taking a 3hour course 4 days a week, i can understand the grammer i can understand my homework but i still cant speak a sentence in german or understand anyone and my goal is to master german for academic purposes, this video came at a good time cause even after a month of german and i dont feel like i improved at all and i feel discouraged :(, so thank you for your advice
ممنون زویی ویدئو هایی که میگذاری واقعا مفید است و البته بسیار الهام بهش
من هر وقت حرفات رو میشنوم انرژی و روحیه میگیرم ❤
Do you have a life, outside of language leaning? You work so hard. But I guess if you are truely happy and passionate about your work, then it does not feel like work to you. Very inspiring, and amazing videos, please keep going, and I hope you make any video ethnography someday
I admire you for being my idol. You are so elegant, and good at beauty and fitness. Moreover, you have a logical mindset to study and work, even the way you share in these videos is so effective. Thank you so much for your channel 🥰
this video was very helpful, I'm learning English, Korean, and Japanese, I didn't have a foundation on how to study a language so I didn't have much progress with my studies
This was very helpful! Thanks for sharing, now I am going to make a plan!
I think this video is very usefull! I learn German for now. For my profession I need B2 level. I have courses 5 time a week for 5 hours! But I can't say that it's effective( Soon I will be having A2 exam but I still struggle with grammar a lot! For now I think that reading, watching video and writing an essay is best exercise for me. Thank you!
