How I learned 30 languages - Practical tips for you!

"You live a new life for every new language you speak. We have only one chance of living on this Earth but if we never stop learning new languages we can live more than just one life." - You made me cry with this quote. Thanks for this more-than-inspiring video. I think it's time for me to learn Chinese again and then other languages that I'm fond of. Thank you!

I've been struggling with German for years, but after watching this video, I'm gonna change it now. I already can speak Portuguese, English and Spanish and my goal is becoming a hyperpolyglot by 35. Let's do it!

0:54 (1) We have to get used to thinking in another language 4:00 (2) We have to find the way to learn that is best for us 4:47 (3) We have to deal with new linguistic concepts 7:39 (4) We have to learn to recognize ans produce new phonetic sounds 8:55 (5) We have new vocabulary 10:30 (6) We have the challenge of understanding cultural context 11:12 (7) We may lack confidence 12:50 (8) We have to create new linguistic and cultural identities

He is right each new language you learn is easier than the one before.

in last 6 years I learned 10 languages. I can relate many of your tips

This is the most honest, complete and realistic description of language learning I've ever seen. Thanks for this amazing content.

im a native portuguese speaker, who speaks english quite fluently and can understand spanish as well as saying a lot of things! currently learning korean ❤ loved your tips, aspiring to be polyglot!!

I really appreciate you making this video! Thank you!

Very inspirational, it's amazing what you achieved! The road of languages truly never ends!

I love the positivity and practical encouragement.

Your ability to learn languages is impressive! I have a lot of difficulty for non-Latin languages, so Im fluent in Spanish and French, I study Italian; I'm Brazilian, so portuguese is my mother tongue. My dream is to speak and understand English perfectly since I have a lot of resistance....

Great video, very practical. I always found polyglots to be so inspirational. Sometimes language learning seems like the hardest thing 😅 It's great there are people like you though!

Thank you very much for publishing this ultrauseful video! Have fun in Providencia! Greetings from Paradisos, Sitonia, Greece!

So happy I was recommended this video! I'm a native English speaker and have been a language enthusiast since I was a kid. I currently speak Japanese (B2, but used to be C1 many a year ago), Spanish (B2), Swedish (B1), a bit of Georgian, and have dipped my toes in many others ( As of now I've dabbled and learned some basics of Bulgarian, Zulu, Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, German, Hindi... I'm sure I'm forgetting a few). It's been such an obsession of mine and it fills me with so much joy. I can't seem to stop getting excited about picking up more languages and having my mind opened to whole new worlds and ways of understanding and looking at the world. I'm also fascinated with dead, indigenous, and endangered languages. I'd love to study Old English/Anglo Saxon seriously one day as it's appealed to me for many years. I also find conlangs extremely interesting as well, and have been working on one of my own! Oh if we only had infinite time to pursue everything we loved... I'm curious, are there any languages that you just don't really like that much? Ones that you have no interest in learning (as of now) or ones that you simply don't like the sound of? Also, have you ever studied Georgian? It's hard to find polyglots who tackle this beautiful language. I used to live in Georgia and fell in love with the country, culture, and language and hope to become much more proficient in the future. Sorry for my rambling comment, but I got a bit excited. Looking forward to watching more of your videos! ❤

This is why i love advice from expert, concise and straight to the point

Excellent. This is what I'm trying to do. Thank you for sharing.

awesome! Thank u!

You are super, professor! Thank you for your precious video.

My first foreign language i was forced to learn german. I am comfortable in speaking german, and can understand when someone speaks fast. After that i started learning Spanish, 3 months later i can have not so fluent but long conversations with spanish speakers. after 6 months or more i will hop on to portuguese while still learning spanish. I cannot express how joyful it is to learn new language. How i learn spanish is simple. I am busy person, so i walk to work everyday and listen to audio course on spanish. This way i get my both physical and mental workout

so happy to find your channel, thank you! I’m also so passionate about learning languages)
