![[french] Comment ai-je appris l'anglais?](/img/n.gif)
Your English sounds like a mix between a British, Australian, and obviously the french accent. It's beautiful really.
She is speaking very well
OMG your Japanese is SOOO GOOD!!! I'm Japanese, but I have to admit that you sound very natural. I couldn't even believe my ears at first. Most foreigners speak Japanese un the way too formal way or a bit too casual, but YOU GOT IT QUITE RIGHT!!! It was such a nice balance of these two... may be better word choice than I'd make haha
Good luck with your study!
Btw, I love your French language lesson videos. I can't wait to study abroad in France when I graduate from college :)
yes, i AM Japanese (born and grew up in).
i think she sounded natural because her word choise was quite different from most foreigners trying to learn japanese. no offence but most of americans' accent usually sound really forein however hard they try. so, to me,she definitely didn't sound like a bignner and that impressed me. i mean, of course, i woun't say she is perfectly fluent but i think she's got one of the hardest part - the balance of politeness - which a lot of foreigners usually cannot get over no matter how hard they try JUST RIGHT.
also, i don't get the point of your asking if im a real japanese. why did you have to interrupt when someone gave a complimet to someone else? why can't you be happy with others' happiness? im not a native english speaker so i might sound rude saying this and i might be saying this in a wrong way but i just don't undersatd why you had to actually comment and say you don't think she is as good...
the only guess i came up with was that you are also learning japanese and you are jealous of her :P jk
anyway, i hope you are not offended and sorry for the long relpy.
Derhek Ok mister. She never said I was fluent nor even really commented on my grammar or vocab, she stated quite clearly that she liked how I sounded and how polite my speech was. Now get over it, you want to hear that you have a better level than I do? If you weren't that bitter and envious, you'd know that it's perfectly common in all languages, to encourage and tell beginners that they're doing good when it's actually the case! Me receiving a kind and encouraging comment doesn't take anything away from you, so seriously why do you even bother? you're quite rude indeed, and I'm starting to get annoyed so change your attitude or disappear.
Apn9a I deleted my previous comments because I don't wan't to "ruin the party". My point was just : don't you think yourself that a sincere proportionate compliment is better than an exaggerated one?
You have a good beginner level, yes. I appreciate your energy. However, I do believe you should be a little bit more humble, and study a little bit harder before showing off your "skills".
It's great if this channel give you strength and confidence, but be careful of the "ego trip".
By the way, I'm not envious at all (of what?) ; just because I comment doesn't mean I really care...
Derhek
i'm not showing off ! people always ask me what languages i speak or know, why and how i came to learn them and such. i even said that myself in the video, and i entitled this video polyglot? question mark here! you're seeng and judging me from your perspective which is clearly negative and mean. I never said I was anything else than a beginner, I didn't cut of the parts where I'm struggling nor did I try to make myself appear better than I am, then how can you even think of it as showing off? the only reason is that it is YOUR own way or proceeding and behaving. life isn't a contest, it's not always about pretending and wanting to get rewards, sometimes it's just about sharing, and sharing our progress, struggles and mistakes! if you cannot understand that I feel sorry for you. being humble? you're the one commenting on my video putting me down, and being so rude to a stranger yet i'm the one that should be humble? and why? because i uploaded a video in which i say i can speak a bit of japanese? sure, i am the one that should be careful with my ego.
Apn9a I have to admit that's just how I felt looking at your video ; maybe because of your tone or because I feel like the whole process of being present on all sorts of social networks is partially egocentric, and looking at the comments I'm not the only one.
I also admit that I might be wrong, that I had a wrong impression and I understand your point of view better now. Since you have a little community of people looking at your videos, it makes sense that this is only about sharing with them. And you're right that there's nothing wrong inspiring others, encouraging etc. I apologize for having been annoying and negative and I wish you a good day !
I'm so impressed that u speak both english and Japanese so well! I'm from Korea and been studying French recently. I found it difficult to learn French without actually being there, but ur method of reading stuff and following it sounds like it'll be helpful! Thx!
good luck!! :)
Apn9a Do you think that you will ever have a go at Italian? What are your thoughts regarding Italiano?
I don't know if you're looking for someone to practice with but I'm an American girl who speaks French and is learning Korean.
Apn9a your English is amazing. I think the French accent in your English is adorable.
Ash Mash hello sorry for disturbing you but i want to say that i'm Tunisian and i'm looking for someone who is english native speaker to practice with him or her ... just i want to add that i speak french well ...thank you for responding me
je suis tunisien et je suis entrain de chercher klk un qui parle bien l'anglais pour faire un peux de pratique avec lui ou avec elle ... merci beaucoup de me répondre
It makes me so angry that anyone would criticize your English. Your English is absolutely amazing, and you are understood absolutely find in all of your videos. I am incredibly impressed with the languages you know!
Très contente d'avoir t'entendu parler un peu de Coréen ! J'apprécie bcp ton talent sur les langues étrangères.
Hongju Kim merci beaucoup ! :))

I can speak German, English, Turkish, French, Korean and a bit Mandarin. German and Turkish are both my mother tongue because I grew up in Germany and in a Turkish household. Since first grade I have been studying English so I'm on an advanced level in English. I chose French as an elective subject in 2011 so I'm able to understand and speak good French (at the end of this year I'll hopefully be A-level) I've been studying Korean for about 4 months now and I actually learn really fast! I can read Hangul without a problem and my grammar and vocabulary is increasing as well! I'm thinking about starting with Mandarin Chinese next year because I really like the sound of the language and the Chinese culture. At first I wanted to learn Cantonese but that was a bit too hard for me because of the high amount of tones. My dream is to become fluent in many langauges ^^
Woah, that's amazing I'd love to be fluent in languages too. The only one I speak is English and some Spanish. I'd love to learn Japanese - I think it's a beautiful language.
Actually, before starting to study Korean, I studied Japanese for a short time. I was able to read Hiragana and some Kanji but I forget everything :( I still remember some words and some Hiragana but that's all. Though I still understand some Japanese as in basic conversations such as "How are you? What's your name?" and stuff like that xD
RuDeCookie7 wow my idol I just can speak english, spanish( native language) and Im at intermediate level in french. thats my dream too! Id really like to speak several languages. Im from Nicaragua (a small country in central america) so HERE actually being able to speak something more than spanish is a BIG THING.
I congratulate you! what u can do is simply amazing!
You have slight Australian pronunciation when you speak English, particularly with your vowel "o" sounds. I wonder if you have a lot of Australian friends that influence you without you knowing it or if I'm just hearing wrong!
You're not the only one. I hear it too. Its cute though :-)
Jenn P You're not hearing wrong, but I think that when she learned English, she went for British English, and although that doesn't sound the same as Australian English, the "o" sound is very similar to it.
My goodness you are gorgeous
your English is more near to the Australian accent
+Khadija Hafez right?
+Khadija Hafez her accent is no where near Australian
Sophie Brooks Yup .. but I mean like some pronunciations are a little to near to Australian .. I'm not saying she has a perfect Australian accent
i know and she said that her English is a bit hard to understand but some pronunciations of words are a bit to the Australian side rather than American / British
but she mostly talks in a french accent
When she said world I fucking flipped out.
omg just speak french forever.
That would be such a dream *-*
We're two Americans who have also learned four languages! We've made a few language guides too!
Omg
Ooommgggg
Omfg
OMG
Omg this comment made me feel so nostalgic
It's so great to see other people my age being so obsessed and fascinated with languages. I speak 5 languages (German mother tongue, English, French, Spanish and Dutch) and I've been trying to get to learn Japanese for years now. I also studied 6 years Latin which was really helpful to understand much about words' origins and linguistic structures here in Europe. There are charts out there saying these languages are easy to learn, those are difficult. I think it depends much on where a person is from and in which language he/she was raised. Out of those I speak, French is the hardest for me because it's all about distinguishing little sounds as well as understanding the context of the words. But I love French :)
Yo tambien hablo español, y me gustaria aprender deutsch
I don't know why i wrote Deutsh haha
I'm also learning japanese :)
it's so funny, really, when I studied languages (french, russian, english) in school, I absolutely hate it due to the pressure of getting good grades. now that I'm out of school, or at least free of the pressure to succeed in the language, I'm so eager to learn more and more and do everything to not fall back. A couple weeks ago I picked up a book about korean and I love watching korean dramas, so that's my next big goal, besides learning french. (I can only speak a little. But I can order a sandwich in a restaurant! :D )
I am 12 and i can talk 9 languages :)
English, korean , japanese , chinese, dutch, french , indian, nepali,thai's
Woah...Those are really hard languages to learn as well! Trust me , those languages are going to benefit you a lot in the future ;)
Mon dieu :) quelle est ta natonalité? (What's ur nationality?)
indian isn't a language
I'm sorry but you could just be saying that. Can you please prove it?
Ah yes... Indian!
I'm really glad that you mentioned your french pronunciation sometimes changes as you learn more english. The same thing has been happening to me as I'm relearning my native Russian language, and my english has been sounding weird as a result despite me being fluent in it
Я русская, и для меня это невероятно большая гордость - узнать, что иностранцам действительно нравится наш язык и, более того, они хотят учить его! Продолжай стараться и у тебя всё получится!
I really want to be a polyglot sooo much.I only speak English at this point but I am learning Spanish and some Korean. I want to learn Korean, Japanese, and Chinese the most! I really love languages and I really want to learn as many as I can because being able to speak to more people would be a wonderful thing. I am trying really hard but I am really nervous when it comes to speaking with native speakers. Anyone have any advice about becoming a polyglot? I really want to hear people's stories! :)
Just relax, don't get nervous when you are speaking, just let the words flow, people will understand you ;`)
Thank you so very much :) I will keep that in mind! I'm trying to not worry about getting something wrong when I talk to natives because I know they can correct me and help me learn even more ^-^ I just want to learn so much~~
Korean's a good start since it's actually very easy - the only confusing part is the sentence structure and that some words are pronounced the same but mean completely different things depending on the context. Good luck!
sowoneul malhaebwa Korean is what I started learning first! I love the culture and kpop. :) I totally understand what you're talking about, those are confusing. Thank you~~ :)
It's all about going through the same process as you went through when you were a child. I kind of explain this in a video but, to make it simple, you have to work on two completely separate things while learning languages, one is the absorption of data (films, music, reading, etc) without paying much attention on what's being said, only getting used to the sounds, the letters, the intonation, etc. The second thing is the the actual study of the language, the grammar, the pronunciation, etc. It's about finding a balance between the active and the passive parts of your study. If you're studying spanish, first listen to the musicality of the language , that's the most important thing: ) good luck
I'm 20 and a foreign language major and I wish I had your skills. I only speak English fluently and Spanish semi-fluently. I did take some French in high school, but I wasn't that good at it. I know a few basic phrases in at least 10 other languages. When I finish learning Spanish, I'm going to learn Japanese and then Russian.
I really don't know why, but I had the impression that people who could speak French would find it easy to get the hang of German pronunciation. I still struggle with those round vowels like ü and ö because they definitely don't exist in my mother tongue, which is Portuguese. Whenever I watch videos on how to learn French, or German for that matter, especially on pronunciation, there comes a point in which I have take a break so that my lips and the muscles around my mouth can get some rest. I really hope it'll get easier and I will finally be able to make those sounds with ease.
It's funny, sometimes your accent sounds australian
i was thinking the same thing!
I think it's cute.
nope... she sounds a bit Scottish at times though
I'm Australian and it definitely didn't sound like an Australian accent. Her accent sounds like a mix between French and British English.
cameii77 It didn't sound all Australian, just some random words reminded me of Australian. You're right, it doesn't really sound Australian.
I am fluent in Tagalog, English, and can speak conversational Spanish and French. I can also read and speak Russian, read Korean, Thai and Tibetan. I love learning new languages :)
You definitely have to teach me about Tibetan. It's such an interesting language and I just love the typography. Where did you learn to read it?
It really is! And the Tibetan script is a work of art itself! You can go on Omniglot.com where they show ALL the languages of the world and their alphabets and scripts :)
*****
Wow, that's an amazing site! Thank you so much!
和ァ独！ no problem! I'm actually using it to learn how to read Devanagari :)
а твой родной язык какой?
You sound a bit British! I think your accent is lovely.
It's interesting, your English sounds like a mix of American, English, and Australian accents.
haha I was coming here to make the same comment. I actually love her accent because of that mixture. There was a stretch of about 4 seconds when she sounded 100% Aussie.
It's always interesting to see other people who speak many languages! My native language is dutch because I'm from Belgium. And I learned French when I was 11, in elementary school. Then at age 14 I learned English and at age 16 I learned German! I could choose to learn Spanish when I was 17. Now I'm 19 and I'm so glad that the schools in Belgium offer all those languages! Good luck with all your languages!
you should learn Italian, you´d love it
Hi, I love how open mided you are in many videos so I felt I could tell you this because you will listen with an open mind. I'm Indian American and Hindu, and the bindi made me uncomfortable because I thought you were wearing it as a trend - especially b/c it has a Hindu religious context and it was worn here with Christian cross earrings. After you told us you base a lot of your life on jainism, it made more sense to me. Maybe your point is that you integrate many religions into your views - like Hinduism, Jainism, and Christianity.
However, next time, I wish you would explain that in the video, to educate followers who don't know much about it. Viewers who don't know much about the bindi might wear my culture as a trend. (But, If I wore a bindi to work, I might lose my job because it's not "professional" and I haven't "integrated", I'm too "traditional".)
It's so exhausting to be a minority trying to educate the public about how to respectfully engage in our culture, so I would LOVE if you could help ♡♡ thank you !
Hey Shrinidhi. I ask this entirely out of curiosity... not to prove a point, argue yours or push my opinion. Do you feel there's anything wrong if people were to wear the bindi without completely (or at all) understanding it's cultural significance? Say a hipster were to wear it, purely because she (or he) thought it looked trendy but had no idea where it even originated from? Wore it purely as a fashion statement?
Hi - thanks for being willing to discuss. This is my opinion. I know many Indians have different opinions on this, and each one is valid.
Yes. For me, it's annoying when people use Indian culture as a costume without even wanting to understand. That shows me you don't care about my culture, and you only want to use it for your benefit. It also matters who is doing it. If it's someone who has historically had power over Indians, it's worse.
Not knowing that you were doing that that is one thing. But, if I tell you that your hipster store of hindu gods and goddesses is disrespectful, and you don't care - it hurts.
This isn't just about me either. In the US, there are so many Indian Americans who make up the culture. Why aren't we reflected in our media, in our TV shows? Part of that is because Indians are not given voice - only white people who use Indian trends are. Yoga isn't cool until a white hipster crowd picks it up. Saris aren't cool till a white Instagram star posts a picture with one. Sure, on their own, it doesn't seem like a big deal. The point is, cultural appropriation is part of this bigger issue of silencing Indian voices. That needs to change, and that starts with talking to Indians about their culture.
I'm curious what you think. Could you share as well? Also, XxxMuseluverxxX , anything to add? You don't know how much I appreciate having allies like you in this.
Thanks a ton for your response! Very nicely put. I didn't have much of an opinion on the matter to begin with. Like I already stated, I was purely curious. But now I guess I'll be leaning towards your argument.
hi, late reply but she has said she wears the hindi because she follows Jainism- she means no disrespect xx
*bindi
Haha you french german accent is really cute...
I speak swedish natively, I also speak english and is a specialist in almost all accents.
I understand russian but can't write or speak it.
I'm learning spanish and i'm also looking forward to learn other languages like german, arabic, japanese, latin, portuguese, italian, icelandic, finish, gaelic, old norse and also fully learn russian.
ah, jag kan tala svenska men mitt modersmål är engelska för att jag bor i america
***** Swedish friends. And the fact that I hated only speaking 1 language as a child :p
If you`re fluent in Swedish, you`re basically fluent in Norwegian too, so add that to your list aswell. At least that`s how it works in Norway. But it might be easier for us since we`ve grown up with swedish television.
And I bet you can make it by in Danish too, can`t you?
Kurs!
Kursus!
^^
YOU SPEAK FRENCH, ENGLISH JAPANESE AND GERMAN! I just love you. I speak English and German and I've always wanted to learn those two and also French, Japanese, Italian and Hebrew. :D But it's sooo cool that you speak four languages and all four of them are languages I'm super interested in.
Also - I think in English and the same thing happens to me. :D My native language is Bulgarian and I remember the first times when the use of English or English-like phrases intensified like crazy. :D And now that I'm immersed with German it sort of happens with German as well. But I still think in English. I don't think that would ever change, since I entertain myself in English... I have the power to think in German though; i just have to kind of remind myself to do it if I want to. :) It's weird. It's really weird.
English has it's own weird difficulties, but honestly, English is somewhat really easy. Maybe because of the opportunity to be inaccurate, because it goes really fast.
My native language is english and I am trying to learn german! Cool :D
essennagerry Woaw, Hebrew? :D I start learning Hebrew in just a few weeks!!
she can even read korean well :D that's great
So much respect for you! And don't worry about not being fluent in every language you speak, you learn through practice and persistance! And you probably already speak more languages than the average person :)
Oh and it's so praiseworthy how well you speak Japanese! (Or at least it sounds really good to me, but yeah I don't speak a single word of Japanese ;D)
I aspire to learn more languages as well since I'm so passionate about them! In fact, French is one of the languages I really want to master because it sounds so beautiful ;3 Currently I am learning Finnish because my best friend is a Finn, and so far I can speak English, Dutch (native language) and a good amount of German (but definitely not fluent either!).
Anyway, your video is really inspirational because it proves that you can certainly learn a language by yourself and that you don't have to leave the country in order to master a language :)
My native language is English and I am also learning german. Next year in school I will be learning spanish. Because I don't have any back ground in learning languages starting my first is difficult. German is very similar to english so i can pick up on a few words... But i am still really slow 😂
It's Iz! Spanish is my mothertongue, I could help you if you want :)
Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. I'm a non-native French teacher in the USA. Je suis absolument d'accord avec beaucoup de choses que vous avez dites. En fait je vais montrer votre vidéo à mes classes pour les encourager sur leurs aventures linguistiques. Je suis fatiguée donc mon français c'est pas assez bon à ce moment. Au lycée, j'étudiais l'allemand, l'espagnol, l'italien et le latin. Mais le français c'est ma langue préférée. Je trouve aussi que je dis des chose bizarre en anglais (ma lange maternelle) à cause des autres langes.
It's a pleasure to hear that Russian sounds beautiful to you, really;) Good luck with all the languages! You're niiice:)
YEEEEEEEEES!!!
Study Russian, it's such an amazing language! It will be hard in the beginning, but the language is so gorgeous that the difficulty of it won't matter anymore.
I tried to learn Russia a few years ago. I really had fun learning it, but it was too late in the evening so I gave it up :/. I'd really like to know it though, since I'm in love with Russian litterature and I'd like to be able to read it in Russian :p
your english is really good, watching you make me realize how my accent sound and it's exactly like yours but i'm not french and my native language is spanish
I saw this video a few years ago, not knowing any japanese. I started studying it about half a year ago and saw this video again, still not understanding anything. Now I watched it again and I could understand everything! I'm so happy right now, it's so good to see the progress I've made 😊
pensé que hablarías español :O
Yo igual! jajaja
yo tambien hahaha she disapointed me
Jajajaja yo también
Your accent is quite beautiful. It almost sounds as if you are British.
+B Murray Okay, well it does to me. It is super pretty.
+B Murray Yes, I know that. I was just saying it sounded a bit British to me and was very pretty. I love French accents as well.
+B Murray I was only stating my opinion. I'm sorry if I offended you.
+B Murray dayum you need to take a chill pill. Didn't know british people could be so aggressive and brutal. She was stating her opinion and how she perceived her accent --> freedom of expression, does that ring a Bell?!
And if indeed she's never been to England, you can be sure that you didn't make her want to after all the crap you just threw to her.
Now go back to your whole mate.
Peace from CANADA!
when people out of America learn English they learn to speak it with an English accent
I speak english, french, russian, ukrainean, romanian , german, and I understand italian language...Am I a polyglot? )
Yes lol definitely
правда? круто)
peut-être !!! apprenez espagnol ;) et voilà !!! hahahahaha.
Boss Boss
Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.
+Tech Shogun yeah, but you should write "ukrainian" without mistakes :)
I'm about to start learning Spanish after I finish my A levels and I can't wait. I've already learned Esperanto to ease my way into learning languages and I hope to one day be at the level you're at with languages. To say that you think in English before you do your native language is amazing!
I really like your video~ It's very inspiring. I am also a polyglot, I can speak English, Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), some Korean (basic communications), and now trying to push myself to learn Cantonese in Hong Kong. Your video really encouraged me to learn and improve my Cantonese, and also to be prepared for the future, since I'm still 16.
Your English and Japanese are great! You still have some accent, but that's understandable, you will improve. As long as people understand you I think you'll be fine. I speak Japanese, English and Spanish, and I'm learning French and Russian right now. I don't know about German, I would like to learn it, but maybe in the future, when I have improved all the others.
This is mesmerizing
i hope this isnt taken the wrong way but is it normal for french speakers to speak really fast? Or is that common for any native language speaker?
As a native French speaker who learned both English and Spanish, I'd say it is common for any native language speaker :)
According to me, native speakers always seem talking extremely fast when you're learning a language. I guess it's a matter of getting used to the language you're learning haha
going on early hip French movies it seems the French language is zippy and at times very compressed. so yes I think it is normal for the French people to be speaking this way. it makes it more difficult if your ears aren't....trained....... to that type of listening but it is certainly a wonder to hear. I actually prefer the more guttural French speakers. this highly educated parlance has no real meat to it. but it is still lovely none the less. x
It's important to know that French movies don't mirror how French people speak in real life ! :p
of coors they do. the films of France have never lied yet. maybe that long one about the freeing the slaves but anyway I think it is the actors that feed the information to our people. they maybe miss the chance to portray the sentiment in a natural way. I suppose if you get a good relaxed actor you get a clearer understanding of what is being said. this girl is good. she is pretty and educated and relaxed in her delivery. it is a welcomed interaction. and I would say, in my uneducated opinion, a mirror of how French people speak in real life.
Marine Roch any native language speakers talk fast, if you hear french people talking you'll think they talk fast but that's the same with every languages
Losing the 'accent' is the hardest thing to do. Even if you've learned English for quite some time as a French speaker. In Quebec (at least in Montreal, Ville e Quebec is another story) many Francophones can converse in English without any detection that they are French speakers. But it isn't easy!
Ha - we have 3 languages in common, though you are definitely better at them than I am. I'm Canadian, so that covers the French and English, but I live on the West coast so various Asian languages are used more than French, so I spent quite a few years learning Japanese as well. The closest I've ever been to fluent in a language other than my first, was Japanese. I has been so long since I've had a French lesson, but I'm trying to pick it back up. I've wanted to learn German for a long time, but haven't had a chance yet. Languages are just fascinating and your video is inspiring :)
I'm from Germany and even for me German is confusing sometimes. :D
Obviously I speak German, then I speak almost fluent English, I can speak French as well and I will improve it by doing a 3 month exchange to France in August and the last language I'm learning is Spanish.
I always tend to mix up Spanish and French because some things are so similar. That's really confusing.
I really want to learn Swedish later.
+Laura Meyer Das ist cool! Viel Glück!!!!
I speak exactly the same languages! I'm fluent in German and English, I speak good French and I'm trying to get fluent by next year and Spanish is the latest one I've learnt! I'm always mixing up French and Spanish XD
I can help u with your Spanish if u help me with german.
+Marcos Henry Donovan I need some help with my Spanish! I can help you with English or Italian!
Laura Meyer why do you want to learn Swedish? Swedish is similar to German because we have lots of loan words from German. The grammar is a little different but they're similar.
Hi, you definitely speak better Japanese than I did at your age! You need to work on sounds like the 語 in 日本語, and your はじめまして sounded like あじめまして, etc. You just need to do some more fine-tuning. Your English accent is a curious mix of accents (definitely not Aussie as someone suggested, lol). You need to re-learn pronunciation of words such as "abroad", "level", "books" and "world"; they could simply be bad habits picked up from learning words in your reading more than from reading with listening. We all have that problem! I'm studying Chinese, too. Try Michel Thomas Mandarin for your tones. Good luck with everything you're doing. Cheers
the letter H is silent in french so its pretty hard to say ha with a thick french accent. I can speak english french and japanese so id know
It’s amazing you found anything wrong about her English accent
Wow, I can sooo relate to you ! C'est dingue comme l'anglais peut prendre le dessus sur le français... il y'a tellement de mots, d'expressions ou tournures de phrases qui me viennent in english first, et très souvent je ne sais même pas comment les traduire en français. alors que c'est ma langue maternelle ! Ca peut créer des situations bizarres genre quand tu sors à tes potes " Attends, comment on dit ça en français déjà..." et que tu trouves pas O_o Just so weird :p También hablo español, 也会说汉语, j'adoooore le coréen ( je sais lire les 한글, now il faudrait que j'apprenne la grammaire et le voc ^^ ) je connais aussi les kanas et pas mal de kanjis grâce au chinois, je suis aussi fasciné par l'arabe et l'hindi...anyway, je comprends donc tout à fait cette fascination pour les langues ;)
Je parle français, anglais et un peu espagnol, je parle et écris et comprend également deux autres langues assez exotiques : l'arabe et le berbère.
Keep it up!
sarahem14 J'étudie le français et I attempt to speak English and también soy hablante nativo de Español
Je parle français et anglais couramment, et apprend l'allemand. L'arabe est ma langue maternelle, pour ceux qui ont besoin d'aide en arabe hit me up!
Le truc des phrases ça m'est arrivée récemment avec "enjoy"
I just loved the fact that you are a Polyglot!! I speak English, Spanish and a little bit of German. Currently, I am trying to learn Russian and French. I loooove languages as much as I think you do :) xo
I love the way you speak! You’re so humble and relatable. Makes me feel a lot better about my own language-learning experiences.
Your English is GREAT, but i think your only problem is individual word syllables. some combinations of letters are spoken quickly in French, but the same combination is halted a bit. Keep it up, your English is superb.
What a lovely comment. ❤ You started and ended with a compliment.
German and Russian languages are very rude and harsh (for most non-native people). But it's okay. I speak 2 languages and it is Russian and English, except my own (German). I wish you the best
I may not be a native speaker but I think that they sound guttural rather than harsh but my mother speaks Russian I'm of German decent(So I still hear a lot of it) so maybe I'm no the most unbiased person to ask.
***** Nah not that great of a language. I may not be a native speaker but I leave here since I'm 5 (for 11 years) and speak german better than some native ones .. but really, the language can be so hard like no stop
why don't you learn spanish?
Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world after the Chinese
more countries have it as their mother language
All these countries have Spanish as their mother language
México
España
Colombia
Argentina
Perú
Venezuela
Chile
Guatemala
Ecuador
Cuba
Bolivia
República Dominicana
Honduras
El Salvador
Paraguay
Nicaragua
Costa Rica
Puerto Rico
Panamá
Uruguay
Guinea Ecuatorial

because spanish is very tough to learn, thats why
***** No tanto
Hablas ingles por chilena? no sabia que los chilenos hablaban ingles como segunda lengua XD
Because not everyone wants to lol
I'm a native spanish speaker, currently learning English and French. My English is pretty good, still improving though. My French is basic just have started to take french lessons, but your channel is perfect for me!!! I can practice both languages listening to your videos. Thanks :)
her eyes are soooooooo perfect, her face is just beautiful!! not trying to simp or so, just her appearance and character is so positive too
My french is way worse than her english... i am trying my best to get better at it. I watch some of her french videos to get better along with norman, cyprien, andy and others.
this is really weird but i've noticed that sometimes your english accent slips into something similar to a new zealand accent? just for a few sounds you sound kiwi haha
I noticed that too, she sounds like someone from Melbourne in Australia.
wow...you actually have almost the same language record I have, I am Colombian and I speak pretty good english, my french is fairly understandable and I can see movies without the need of subtitles, I guess my german is a little bit better than yours but your Japanese is way more advance, you are awesome do some videos about Japanese please!! those particles are like the cases in german..a pain un the a*** Eres hermosísima..besos.
wow you're awesome! i speak german and spanish fluently and a little bit english, and i would loooove to speak french fluently like you, obviously. it's the most beautiful language in the whole world. really (btw you're so pretty)
French sounds so so so so beautiful. I was in Paris a couple weeks ago and fell in love with the language i'm trying to learn it now.
i really want to learn french instead of spanish, and i think i would learn french better because im more interested in it. i might switch to french in highschool
For the time I'm learning Spanish, but want to learn French too) That's because of French music may be ))
афыавфы ыафыафы me too. Im in Spanish 3, but I have a French learning program
French and Spanish are obviously related as idioms of Latin origin. Both are equally difficult to master I'd say, and you'll have plenty of superb litterature to discover in either case.
Up to you to see if you plan to travel to South America & see Macchu Picchu and enjoy speaking with the locals, or if you're more tempted by a deep dive in the dark corners of Paris, Brussels...
On a purely "practical" way, Spanish may cover more ground/countries.
And if you go to Italy, both languages will help you in a funny way (some hits & misses, a few gestures with the hands, and "voilà" :)
Alex Amiga Hi! I'm french and if you really want speak french you will do it! It's not so difficult it's just specific . I mean , you need to use french words precisely contrary the english ^^ I hope you will can speak french fluently!
I also started reading Edgar Allan Poe in french lol ..tranlated by Charles Baudelaire.
I am Russian and your Russian is soo cute) you should definitely learn this language!
thank you !! :) i will i love it!
You are truly amazing, being able to speak so many languages when you're so young. My fiancé is French-Polynesian and I am learning French to be better able to speak to him and his family. I would also love to learn German and Italian as well. Your videos really help keep me motivated in my language pursuits. Thank you for everything you do!
I know English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Swedish, Italian, Hungarian, and I am learning Russian.
Awe, I love your accent when you're speaking English. Great job. I am learning Russian right now, and I did a little French a few years ago. I am going to learn Spanish, French, and German too. So do you confuse words in your head with all your languages? I will be thinking Russian (since that is the first language I am working on), and Spanish pops in haha.
Hopefully, French will be easy I love it. How you feel about Russian is how I feel about Russian and French. I have friends to work on Russian with, and Spanish is always useful as a second language here. I honestly should work on spanish first, but I like Russian better.
I am a nativ.e Russian, and it is always very interesting to see people learning the language!!! Good luck!
Спасибо 😃
uda4i vam))
Fero Mehraliev what does that mean? It looks like something a friend of mine would type when he forgets to switch the register for keys over.
Amanda Robbins it means удачи вам good luck you. Sometimes people write russian words by english letters.
your accent is hot
Das ist so komisch..ich bin aus Rumänien...spreche Italienisch, deutsch, englisch und spanisch...ich finde aber Japanisch das schweeerste was es gibt...du kannst das ohne Probleme nach 2 Jahren sprechen...und ich finde deutsch ist wirklich leicht ..und viele sagen dass es schwer ist..ich verstehe das nicht ^^...ich wünschte japanisch wäre so leicht.. :P
pretty cool you can speak different languages how i wish me too :)
you just have to start leaning some! :D
:) i want too but nobody could teach me, can you? hehe
wow! I just read your comment and I was like 'oh nice this girl can speak a lot of languages'
And a second later I was like 'wait! I don't know German!' :D ahah
:)))) well thats not so baaad :D
I'm really interested in learning different languages! My native language is English, my second language is French , we're currently learning Spanish in school, basic Spanish, which we are only taught for 2 years (I'm on my last year) and its taught by a french teacher who is not Spanish. I don't want to lose my Spanish skills after completing my course, and I can't really practice it that often afterwards. Also, I'm half Italian half Moroccan so I guess Italian would be easy (also its close to Spanish and French) but Arabic would be harder, since I only know basic Moroccan dialect. I love knowing different facts about the world and I would be very happy to learn how to speak several different languages! :)
You probably won't see this comment but I just really loved your video. I'm from Chile and I'm currently studying English-Spanish translation. I think it's simply amazing the fact that you're so young and you already speak four languages. My dream, just like yours, is to speak several languages and to have the chance to learn about the different cultures that are surrounded by each one of them. Once I get a great level in English I hope to have the chance to learn French, I think is an elegant and beautiful language, unfortunately there are few institutions to study this language, so maybe one day I'll go to France and learn in the propper way.
Thank you for doing this video, I think that you don't need to be perfect at something to encourage and inspire people to do the same, you just have to love it and enjoy it and that's exactly what I saw in your video :)
C'est bien de parler des langues, mais l'accent est très important. On peut parler une langue couramment et ne pas réussir à se faire comprendre par les gens parce que l'intonation est mauvaise. C'est le gros problème du japonais. Quand tu parles, on devine, donc on comprends, mais par exemple "Ajimarimashita" ça ne veut rien dire. "HAjimarimashita", si. C'est d'ailleurs pour ça que les japonais ont beaucoup de mal avec les langues étrangères, parce que leur accent est trop fort. Ils sont parfaitement incapables de prononcer correctement le son "rrr", ou encore le "l", puisque ces deux sons ont la même prononciation chez eux. Du coup, en général ils parlent très bien, mais on ne comprend rien. En français nous n'avons pas ce problème de diphtongues et de phonème, cela nous est donc plus facile de reproduire plusieurs langues parfaitement! Il faut vraiment avoir conscience de cette chance et la mettre à profit le plus possible.
Russian is quite difficult but I believe you can do it
Tombée sur ta chaîne par hasard... Ravie de voir que tu inspires beaucoup de monde! Je suis vegan moi aussi et ça fait plaisir de voir une youtubeuse qui fait passer de bonne idées!
Love your hair btw ;) gorgeous girllll
Amazing! I have known French, Spanish, Italian people who have lived in the US for decades, yet can't speak English as well as you do. I have students from all over the world, they are improving their spoken English using Spoken English-2020 software and can speak fairly well in a couple of months. But it is really surprising that you learned (learnt BrE) English on your own. You are definitely talented.
And that Japanese and Korean, OMG! Unbelievable.
Just a little change in the syllable stresses/word stress, and no one can tell that English is not your first language. But I would prefer that you retain slight French accent, it is cute.
You've really inspired me to become a polyglot and start learning French, so thank you! :) I wish more people were interested in learning different languages because it really creates an entirely unique sense of wonder and community that can't be found anywhere else. Thanks for this awesome video!
haha why is she wearing a bindi
because she can
+Mary Ruiz it's not okay to wear the bindi if you're not part of the culture. My ancestors died for my culture.
+Pianca Islam she does it for spiritual reasons. i doubt she wears a dot on her face to offend ppl
+Valentina Hernandez oml thank you for maybe being the only one that gets it
+Pianca Islam she adheres to the religion Jainism, assuming she isn't culturally adhere to something because she so white or French is racist. The only problem is your thinking. Stop culture has nothing to do with race. And it's not a bindi, so maybe before you go out someone down. Do some ducking research you ignorant tard.
I'm 16 and I can speak(or rather learning I guess)
English(native language)
French(since I live in Canada we must learn it)
Chinese(Mandarin)
Japanese(I could understand everything you said in Japanese without even looking at the screen)
Korean(started a few months ago)
and I started a bit of German but I haven't done anything with it yet so idk if I'll stick with it but I normally stick to any language once I've put time into it no matter what
Trust me kid you're going to wish you never knew that many languages when you are around different speaking people. Stick to two languages. TOPS! Thank Me Later. ;)
what do you mean by different speaking people?
Katakanadayo
nvm kid. Keep studying your different languages
Katakanadayo I would like to ask, do you speak and read/write it?
arnaldo vargas cause i've heard that people that speak 5+ languages usually only speak it. They cant read or right it, which in my opinion is sad. A language you can speak but cant read or write is incomplete.
bien, yo estudiando espanol, pero es muy dificil para me porque no hay personas que hablan espanol aqui. claro que si soy americana... asi estudio por eschando musica, y mucho mas. pero yo nessicito una persona que habla espanol. y espanol es muy dificil porque hay palabras para chicas y palabras por chicos. es muy confuso. pero pienso que la idoma is bonita y me gusta mucha! voy a estudiar mucho. oh! y no se cuanda usar la "A" delante de palabras.. como ''A Marsie le gusta perros.'' ayy de me,, no entendio :P
La verdad es que no sé explicar por qué se pone la "a" delante de algunas frases, pero sí sé que "María le gustan los perros" no tiene sentido y suena bastante mal; lo correcto es "A María le gustan los perros", "A Pablo no le gusta bailar".
Sobre las palabras para chicos y chicas, o sea que tengan femenino y masculino y dependiendo de eso tengas que adaptar los adjetivos y el artículo (el, la, los, las o un, una, unos, unas, etc); una "norma general", que no siempre es así, es que si la palabra termina en "-a" suele ser femenina, por ejemplo, "gaviota": "la gaviota", "las gaviotas", "una gaviota".
Y si termina en "-o" suele ser masculina, por ejemplo, "espejo": "el espejo", "ese espejo".
También las que teminan en "-e" como "aterrizaje", "contaje", "garaje" o "despegue" son masculinas: "el garaje", "varios aterrizajes", "un despegue".
Hay muchas excepciones, como la palabra "acción", que termina en "-on" pero sin embargo se dice "la acción" y no "el acción".
De hecho, creo que todas, o casi todas, las palabras que terminan en "-ión" son femeninas: relajación, pronunciación, convención, construcción,...
Otra excepción serían "agua" o "hacha", que a pesar de seguir siendo femeninas, se dice "EL agua" o "UN hacha", para evitar la cacofonía.
Pero normalmente, si terminan en "-o" y en "-e" son masculinas, y si terminan en "-a" femeninas. Esa suele ser una regla básica para poder intuir si la palabra es masculina o femenina.
En "-u" y en "-i" creo que no hay muchas palabras que terminen por esas dos letras. Ahora mismo solo se me ocurren "espíritu", "kiwi" y "pedigrí", todas ellas masculinas.
El español es bastante simple a la hora de escribirlo y pronunciarlo. Tenemos solo cinco vocales, gráficas y fonéticas: a, e, i, o, u. A diferencia del inglés que tiene 12 vocales fonéticas (cinco gráficas).
Lo más "difícil" en español sería:
- Las erres fuertes.
- Las jotas también fuertecitas.
- Las zetas (solo si vas a aprender el acento de España, pero es el mismo sonido que la "th" del inglés en "think" o "thermal" así que no tendrás ningún problema).
- Las conjugaciones verbales, pero suelen tener un patrón común por cada grupo de verbos acabados en "-ar", "-er" o "-ir".
Y en principio ya está, el resto es bastante facilito.
- Lo único recuerda que en español no existe la "v", y se lee exactamente igual que la "b" ("vaya" y "baya" se leen exactamente igual aunque sean palabras distintas).
- Tampoco existe el sonido de la "z" inglesa. Todas las "s" son normales, sin vibración.
- La "h" es siempre muda (silent), como en "hour", "honour", "honest" o "heir".
- Y las consonantes explosivas inglesas tampoco existen. Las "b", "p", "k", "g", "t", "d", etc, son suaves, nunca tan fuertes como en inglés.
Dios Mios gracias por la imformacion! Yo quiero ser Estudiante de intercambio y vivir in Espana. Pero yo estudio Espanol y Coreana y olvido estudiar Espanol tambien jaja. Y en mi escula ensenan nosotros la "Latin Spanish" y no la espanol de Espana. (ensenan nosotros NO vosotros) asi yo nessicito aprender por mi cuenta... Y en general.. personas que hablar espanol hablan muuuuuuy rapido.Y no comprendo nada! Pero si, espanol es facil.. bien mas facil que coreana. la gramatica es un poco dificil por ejemplo, Yo estaba hablando con una persona española y yo dijo estoy calor y se reían. yo no sabía que era "tengo calor" haha. porque en ingles tu no tienes "calor" jaja.
Hi Kay Dee! I speak very well spanish, because is the language official in my country. Furthermore, I studied at university, so I think I have a good way to talk Spanish without accent. I need to practice and improve my fluently in English, so we could practice on weekends by Skype or Facebook a few minutes, maybe 10 minutes in English and 10 minutes in Spanish. If you are interested, this is my address in Skype willy190884 and this my e-mail wfv_1908@hotmail.com. We could choice topics about anything. See you!
I don't have a webcam! but if we could work something else out, then definitely!
Ok! We could chat by Facebook. At least we'll practice our writing. You can find me as facebook.com/wilfredofelix.garciavaldizan
Bye!
I am really grateful to you for posting this video! I have endless interest in languages and is always exciting to know there is someone out there who shares similar passion as I do. and what is more interesting is that I speak or have learned most languages you mentioned.
I can't believe people can speak in so many languages... :o My main language is Lithuanian, and I can speak English too. I've been studying English for almost 5 years in school, and I am pretty good at my age, I guess. I'm not fluent but I read a lot of books in English, I watch movies, I speak with people in English and I can feel that I'm getting better, and I really want to reach that point when I will be able to speak without mistakes.. Well I'm studying Russian in my school too. I started 3 years ago, but it's really hard for me to focus on this language.. I was making progress, but when my teacher changed I just lost it.. I can understand Russian and I know what is someone talking about, I just can't answer or have conversation. :s and when I try to speak Russian in class or have a conversation with teacher, English words always pops in my head xD
J'adore ton style o_o tu es trop belle. Tu es française de base ? Tu fais des études ? J'ai fait des études d'anglais que je regrette trooooop d'avoir arrêté T__T
i'm learning french (je parle un petit, mais je ne sais pas beaucoup de vocabulaire) and i can't seem to find the best way to learn (AND REMEMBER) vocab? also, it seems impossible for me to try and think in french (to become more fluent). can anyone help/offer tips?
ella La persévérance est la clé du succès.
ella I don't know if this will really help, but I'm french, and what helped me a lot with english vocabulary was watching videos in english (even with subtitles) :) So I watched a lot of TV shows and youtube videos and I feel like it helped me a lot, but I think it's easier for me to find english videos than french ones... Anyways, hope this helped, good luck with your french :))
* je parle un petit *peu*, mais je ne *connais* pas beaucoup... (but I get your point, it's just for you to improve your french :))
Anna Arizona that sounds like it really would help, actually, so thanks!! and also thanks for the correction!! :)
Anna Arizona are there any french tv shows/movies that you think are really good? i guess if i enjoy the show a lot then it will help because it won't feel like i'm working (which is where i lose motivation all the time), but instead just having fun
ella Well, I don't watch a lot of french movies and TV shows, but I've heard that the movie "LOL" is great (they made a USA version that was horrible, so watch the french one), and the tv show "Profilage" is pretty good (if you like that type of shows) :) Also, there's a mini-serie on youtube called "le visiteur du futur", and apparently it's really funny, and I know there are english subtitles :) And I think that most of Cyprien's videos are with subtitles (he's a very famous french youtuber) :) I don't if you'll like it, but I also like american & british movies better so I'm not the best at suggesting french movies, you'll judge by yourself ;)
I speak English, and I got a hint of British slang in me. I'm multitalented obviously..
+Zarry Baby are you british though mate
I've watched several of your videos now, and as an American who's native language is English I must say your English is very impressive. I have learned a little German, am learning Spanish, and hope to tackle French and Japanese in the future :)
Omg, I wanna be like you. I mean, I already speak Spanish, it is my first language, then I learned English and now I'm studying French. You just became an inspiration.
i dont care if you speak all the language of this planet im more interested in your beauty,good job
sympa la vidéo ! j'ai vécu au Japon presque 5 ans, tu t'en sors bien en japonais, continue comme ça !! tu y es allée au Japon d’ailleurs ?
je parle plusieurs langue aussi, je parle français, serbe car je suis..... serbe lol anglais et japonais ! et la j’étudie le coréen.
ton anglais est bon mais tu as de la chance de ne pas avoir un accent français ahah moi j'en ai un et du coup je travaille un peu dessus ! mais ton accent est assez australien je trouve :)
+Tina Zlata tu n'aurais pas été au concert de gackt à l'alhambra? Ton prénom+ton visage me disent quelque chose! (sinon je fais totalement fausse route, désolée!) merci beaucoup en tout cas! je suis allée deux fois au japon mais durant de courtes périodes! c'est super le serbe, je connais quelqu'un qui parle serbe également et il me dit toujours que c'est compliqué! (pour ce qui est de l'accent en anglais, oui il semblerait que le mien sonne un peu australien, mais je ne sais vraiment pas pourquoi!)
+Antastesia siii ! c'était il y a quelques années mais en effet j'y étais xD j'apparais même sur le dvd du concert mdr donc toi aussi tu y as été je suppose ? :) tu as une bonne mémoire n’empêche, à l'époque j'avais les cheveux court et roux ahah
oui le serbe c'est compliqué, la grammaire est horrible lol
Tina Zlata
j'ai une très bonne mémoire visuelle! et oui je me souviens que tu étais rousse! j'ai aussi fait le lien avec le fait que tu vivais au japon, je me suis dit que c'était probable! j'y étais en effet! ça ne rajeunit pas tout ça! j'imagine en effet que la grammaire ne doit pas être aisée, tout comme la prononciation quand on n'a pas l'habitude!
Je parle l'français et/und Deutsch!
My mother tongue is Spanish. I started learning English at 5, but I was really bad in it until I was 11. By the time I was 14, I already was in a B1-B2 level. Then, at 17 (and already fairly fluent, because I was in C1 level), I lived abroad (in England), with the hope to improve it, which I did. Because I started learning new languages pretty young, I have no specific accent. The sad thing is the only person I can talk to in English is my sister, because a lot of people in my country is mostly illiterate in other languages (and sometimes they cannot even write or speak properly in Spanish, which is sad). I can do everything in English, sometimes I even think first in it and then I have to find the words to say it in Spanish. It's also worth noting that English is actually the third language I've learned, the second was French, which I used to be fairly fluent when I was a child, but due to lack of practice, I've forgotten most of it, although I can understand it (reading, and listening). Then, I know the basics of German, Italian and Mandarin Chinese, but I'm not near to be fluent in them.
Your mastery of english and japanese accent is pretty impressive makes me want to go back to study japanese
how come you think in english? wouldnt french be more natural to think in?
Not really. Once you learn a new language if you really put a lot of effort into it then you will start thinking and even dreaming in that language. I am a native spanish speaker and I can relate to this since I probably think in english more than half of the time. Dreaming in english is not as frequent though, but still happens once in a while.
Luis Pérez
is that because english is the dominant language and its everywhere? im learning french but i would never think in french 'cause it just not natural..english is so much easier. But then again, english is my native language.
I think it's because your brain uses your new language as a new way of processing information, and once your brain gets used to a new language it will come out naturally.
I grew up on Spanish now i think in English :)
*****
It's interesting to hear a perspective from someone who did not do this/learn English. Immersion in another language is hard when English is the dominating language and culture (media) - and you are not in the particular region/country. I gave up learning French for now because of this. Not only do I have to go to a French speaking region/country to learn, I have to go to francophone area, away from English influence.
Hi !!!
It's a video very interesting , but i'm french and my english is so bad , very bad.
Comment je pourrais faire pour améliorer mon anglais ?
Regarder des séries en anglais, des films, la musique aussi ça peut aider. Mais les films et les séries c'est mieux. Mets-y avec les sous-titres pour commencer comme ça tu seras également l'orthographe des mots.
Lé Leirbag merci des conseils c'est super gentil
De rien :)
Pour améliorer l'anglais je te conseille personnellement de regarder le plus de séries possible en VO, commence en STFR (sous-titre français) puis STEN quand tu t'en sens la force (ou que c'est vraiment facile à comprendre ou pas trop rapide) puis finalement retire les, perso j'ai commencé y a deux ans, je regarde parfois sans sous-titre même si je ne comprends pas absolument tout, mais je suis devenu fluide, en grande partie après avoir passé un an dans un pays étranger plus ou moins anglophone. Et jouer à des jeux vidéos avec des anglophones m'a également aidé, tout comme jouer en anglais tout court. :)
***** Yes , i do that , but thank's :D
j'ai cliqué sur ta vidéo et j'entendais dneifneofneifnekf... je suis française donc je parle français ! OH LUMIÈRE ! MES OREILLES S'OUVRENT
Oh, god... You are the first person that feels the same way I feel with English!
I'm from Spain and I've been fluent in English since I was 14-15. (I'm 21 now)
I dream and think in English too and when I'm speaking or writing Spanish I think the words and sentences in English first and you're right, it's kind of weird. XD
I can understand French as well and Italian and I am currently learning Russian! I highly recommend you learning Russian because it is BEAUTIFUL. For me, it was the hardest language to learn, but definitely worth it! ;)
I'm about to start learning German and Irish as well because, I don't know why, but I love them! I love the sound and the grammar and the different words...
Maybe we're crazy about languages, but you are the first person I know of that loves languages as much as I do and I love that! :D
I speak German, English and Dutch. My Dutch isn't great, but I can do simple everyday conversation and talk about what I studied in the Netherlands. English I'm pretty much fluent, but I'm not perfect at yet. Long term I'd like to have pretty much native level English skills. I often think in English as well and I often speak my thoughts out loud when I'm at home alone. That helps me to practice the language, even though I don't really use it in actual conversation. Thanks to TH-cam and other websites I've been getting a lof of practice in listening, reading and writing.
Then of course my moother tongue in German. I sometimes have problems saying things as well because I can only think of an English phrase. English has a lot of great expressions that German doesn't have or that sound clunky and unnecessarily complicated in German. Of course sometimes that is also true the other way around, but more often I like English expressions better if I have a preference one way or another.
Languages I'd still like to learn would be Spanish, Japanese and Korean. Possibly others as well. I used to have a weird aversion against French, but nowadays I'm starting to like it more. So maybe I'll be learning French one day as well.
Taiwanese is really beautiful 🙂
I know English, Latin, Spanish, and I'm teaching myself Russian. Next is German.
удачи тебе ;)
you should learn Portuguese!
What you said about your mood impacting your language skills is so true! I have been studying French for 8 years now and I still have what I call "good French days" and "bad French days", but I am determined to become completely fluent! Merci pour la vidéo :)
fantastic english - native speaker level! i'm trying to learn french - it is very hard. but i will keep at it - you've inspired me to not give up.
