  1. I am a native turkish speaker with a b2 or up english and i want to learn bosnian and seeing my own language at level 4 made me realize that i was exaggerating learning a new language😭

  2. Honestly, I don't even know a drop of Korean and I never thought I'd learn it because of pressured hate.. but here I am. My reason for learning is to one day go to Korea, even if for a trip, without needing a translator. I also want to go to a concert maybe!

    I didn't actually start by learning the hangul writing system. For the first three months, I picked up words and learned their meanings, I used ROMANIZATION instead of hangul.

    My reasoning for that is because "I will be more motivated to learn the writing system if I already know how to write a few words because of ROMANIZATION"

    And it definitely worked!! For example, I learned "gaja" in ROMANIZATION which means "let's go!"
    And I recently started learning the hangul writing system and I've already MEMORIZED the CONSONANT and a few of the simple vowels.

    This greatly motivated me because I immediately started to write words. And I succeeded. Like gaja is 가자. This made me Hella excited because it meant I am PICKING UP what I'm learning. I also tried what little alphabets I know to write names(of my language) and I was only a little wrong.

    Idk about you all but this greatly helped me because motivated!

  3. i learnt English with those methods to the level that i understand everything in this video in 3 years! now i came back to gain motivation to learn the next language

  4. Not recommending reading is crazyyyy.

    Also no SRS for remembering words is also kinda crazy.

    I like most of the advice, though.

    But also… The step between "watching YouTube" and "understanding 70%" is like… 2 years lol. You kinda glossed over that methinks

  5. I started learning Japanese using chatgpt plus(paid) and so far it's good. It's teaching me the scripts first and gives me homework to do by myself. I've learned most of the basic hiragana in one day. I know it'll be a process spanning years but I'm determined to learn it as I plan to move there at some point in my life. I always loved learning languages and I want to learn more than one.

  6. We're in the language business and you know what's the strongest motivation for learning a new language as an adult? In our experience , people are reeeally motivated to lear a new language when they form a special friendship with a foreigner 😉

    We respect the commitment but also… have you considered just using FlaiChat?

  7. 1:15 – I think wanting to watch anime in Japanese can be a good motivation if you can watch anime all day long and combine it with textbooks. To learn a language it is important that you consume a lot of media in that language and if you are an anime fan you can practice your language skills while enjoying your favorite anime.

  8. Whenever I see "Cantonese" anywhere, I first think it's some Form of Swiss-German. But then I look it up and see it's one of the Languages spoken in China and such. I mean the Swiss literally got the Kantonspolizei, so hopefully my Confusion is somewhat justified
