What a beautiful video 😊 ... You can get great language audio input here on youtube with bilingual stories, they will read a sentence of a story in English then read the same sentence in target language. Polyglot Beats on youtube does that well for multiple languages and there other channels for specific languages... its been helping me get passive listening and learning when going on walks... time is by FAR hardest obstacle in language learning - anything that can get us some passive learning is a plus
I am from Brazil, my first language is portughuese. I am self taught in some language, I am fluent in English, I have an good understanding in Spanish, Italian I understand a good amount in reading, I started French and German but I have to go back because I stopped. I fell in love with Norway so I decided to learn Norwegian and I am proud of my progress after 4 months. My next goal is asl I think I should already learned, I think Japanese for sure and maybe Arabic ,Greek. Mandarin should be on my list but I don't plan on traveling.
I've been learning Arabic for three years, specifically the Levantine dialect. While studying the classical Arabic back at school, it was difficult, but now I have adapted to speaking Levantine moderately. I wish to learn French, Spanish, or Korean.
I went to college with a minor in French. I hope to be fluent in ASL (American Sign Language) because if there's ever a time when people can't speak or hear, (noisy places, laryngitis, underwater, nonverbal autism, through glass, deaf, long distance, not allowed to talk etc.) nonverbal language is the best way to communicate.
For tourism, English is more often than not enough, but when living in a new country for an extended period of time, it is often more practical to learn the local language.
If you think you don’t have time to learn a language, try learning toki pona! It’s a minimalist conlang with less than 150 words in its lexicon, and only requires a few days of study for basic usage. It’s a very fun and simple language that can help with overthinking and is fun to use for art.
As a Turkish native speaker, I'm able to speak a couple of these languages. However, in the future once I have a chance to learn latin languages, I'll start with Esperanto. Not solely it's a made up language, but also it includes the basic grammar and morphology of the other five Latin languages
@ I know, but if you want to learn something other than Spanish, Portuguese is a great option! It’s actually a critical language unlike Spanish meaning speakers are in high demand
I’d say the list is pretty good except I think Russian should be higher based on the fact that 16 countries speak it (yes, I am considering Transnistria to be a country), a shit load of people speak it all over the world, a lot of people that speak it don’t speak English or any of the other major languages like how a lot of German speakers speak English, and various other reasons like opportunities. Here in the US if you speak it, it is very easy to get a government job because they do not have enough people that speak it. It’s been very useful to me as a second language because there are a decent amount of people in my area that speak it and it has provided some interesting interactions. I study Japanese as well and I’ve literally never used it to communicate with someone irl because there are hardly many Japanese people in the US and I understand Russian a lot better. I mainly learn Japanese just because I’m into Nintendo games and JRPGs and honestly if you aren’t into Japanese media or don’t deal with things like shopping on Japanese auction sites, it’s honestly a pretty useless language.

Mandarin chinese is getting more and more important with more and more foreigners starting to learn the language, some even let their kids start to learn it while they still young. With the rising of china, i wouldn't dare to say it will definitely replace English as the universal language in the world but i guess it's safe to say it has a high chance to become 2nd universal language in the world.

You don't have to. Us Spanish speakers don't. Just go by Spaniard dialect, it's simple and lovely. It's not mandatory to learn every single dialect cuz well it would be too nonsensical. Why would u? Or learn Mexican, it's the easiest one to be honest.
@@Santyxs-jr6fe Thanks I guess If I Learn from duolingo then it uses latin american Spanish so would every Spanish speaker understand me and what should I learn first ,
It certainly can be useful to know those languages, but the average person will never become fluent in them as it takes too long to learn them. A much better choice is to learn Esperanto. You'll get fluent in a reasonable amount of time and you can use it to speak to people from many different countries like Hungary, Finland, Iceland, Chile, Chinese, etc. There are certainly enough Esperanto speakers for it to be a very worthwhile undertaking.
No Hebrew? Really? BTW, I already learned languages like Japanese, French, Spanish, Portuguese and German. I will soon learned Turkish if I get a chance.
My Pakistani husband went to university in China and therefore speaks Mandarin pretty fluently. But he’s struggling with German and me as a native speaker can’t blame him. 😂
@ It’s not because of the pronunciation, but because of the difficult German grammar and long words. While Mandarin has very simple grammar and short words. 🤭
Learming Spanish is borderline useless unless you want to learn a different version for every country, or for one specific country. Get a Mexican, Nicaraguan, and a Chilean. Tell them each separately, in English, that the assignment is to make a turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with dijon mustard, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. Now physical gesturing allowed and no English allowed. The results are hilarious. I know, because we did this at work. They got it mostly right, but it took just under seventeen minutes.
Very much disagree. I have found my Spanish to be extremely useful in life and I am able to communicate with Spanish speakers from most if not all countries.
@carolyns3720 You must be very special. Unfortunately, this doesn't really come down to a matter of agreement. It's just a statement of fact that the languages are wildly different in the various Spanish speaking countries.
@@billygoat5302Do you speak Spanish? Because it sounds like you don’t. They are different in that they use different expressions but you can definitely communicate with other Spanish speakers from other countries. If you don’t speak Spanish, I don’t know how you think you have the authority to call it “useless.”
@carolyns3720 Not fluently. I never finished learning because I don't like it. I don't have to speak Spanish to know about it, either. Do you speak Spanish? Because if you do, it sounds like you only know one. It is not "different expressions", it's entirely different words. My Chilean great-grandmother could not speak to my Mexican grandmother in each other's Spanish. They only spoke English to each other. You seem to not have a lot of experience with this. I do. Decades of it. Like a story that I told in my original comment. It's insane to think that Spanish can be so universal when someone from New Orleans can barely understand someone from London and vice versa.
