Humans didn't migrate from Africa. That is a lie. Man and woman were created in the middle east, very close to Israel.

Arabic writing was so complicated that Ataturk the president of Turkiye switch to latin alphabet for the turkish language and this also help a lot to improve the litteracy of people in Turkiye.

Should we expect new writing functionality on LingQ?

Thanks for an interesting video, Steve. :) Wouldn't it be easier if you didn't have to learn both the new alphabet and the new language at the same time? Have you tried writing English in one of those different alphabets? :)

I've learned English and become fluent in it on my own, from my late teens to early twenties(Now I'm in my early thirties), without putting a lot of effort. Of course for me it was much easier since I had to learn English... And I'm from a developing country, so there isn't much good content in the internet in my native language, and I don't like the culture from here, so I had no choice... What I did was since the beginning, immersing myself, not moving to an English speaking place but on the internet. Also I changed my phone language to English. I'm always on YT, and I used subtitles to understand what people were saying in the videos. Afterwards I started to use English to write on my journal(I write my thoughts on it), and started to read in English regularly. After I became fluent I only use my native language when speaking to people around me. On the internet everything is in English. Even my thoughts are in English, and I like speaking to myself, and I do it in English. Only when counting I use the words for numbers in my native language. My English isn't perfect, but I am completely fluent and I'm pretty sure I can speak it clearly, even though I've never spoken to another English speaking person.

I don’t enjoy how you tricked all of us on April fools day 😅

Its called Palestine not Israel. Don’t forget that the israel occupation colonialism Palestine.

Merci !

For some languages the beginner courses at LingQ are too difficult. It's not the vocabulary, but the length of the sentences, which makes it hard to really understand the sentence. I speak the sentences into GoogleTranslate. Of course my pronunciation is not always perfect, so I prefer shorter sentences, where I can play with the pronunciation. Somemtimes I make mistakes which I don't understand. For example I wanted to say "earning" but it was recognized as "running". And I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with my pronunciation.

I'm inspired by your honesty and earnestness in sharing your mistakes to help us. You make language learning feel real and down to earth, and less of a perfect process if that makes sense. Thanks a lot, Steve! You're my language hero! (p.s. do you have any warm messages to young learners? Or, if you were 19, what would you like to tell yourself about life overall and its dynamic with language learning? Thank you :D)

I've been learning Greek for about 2 years now and then started in Arabic and messed around with some Chinese and Hindi too and noticed that even though many words are shorter than Greek, it was a lot harder to gain vocabulary like it was much harder to remember even though many Greek words have an entirely different sound than English they are still much easier to stick in my brain. Maybe that is partly due to just getting used to the language though as I've been reading in it for awhile now.

Good to know about your experiences Steve! I'm in my first language yet: English. However, it's cool to know about your mistakes and pitfalls. I'm thinking about to start a new romance language (I'm a Portuguese speaker), maybe French...

muchas gracias por las recomendaciones

أنا أتعلم العربية أنني أريد أن أدعم فلسطين بلغتها 🇵🇸❤️‍🩹 English: I study Arabic because I want to support Palestine in its language. Feel free to point out any grammatical errors! AIPAC bots not allowed, btw.

ممتاز... آفرين

I should learn Turkish to have the three combo :)

Good thing about learning them all is that they all have multiple connections

Always so interesting and always a pleasure to hear you, Steve. Thank you.

North African arabic cant really considered arabic because they are are arabized copts and amazigh people

There is an app for learning kanji with a portion where you write the kanji with the touch screen, I should get back to using it

FREE PALESTINE ❤

Steve good evening watching ur channel on trucish it takes time u learned Japanese and Chinese ur a pro at language s good luck with the new language thank you good luck

Steve, your suggestion to WRITE early is more than intriguing. I think there is a lot to recommend that alongside oral exercises.

I love the editing on your newer videos, very enjoyable content. You are my language hero Mr. Kaufmann!

I found Greek grammer to be more difficult than Arabic. Arabic grammar, however, is more vast than Greek grammar.

Arabic, the best language in the world, and the best and great book(quran) in history is written by it. You should read them

Steave ...I'm curious.How many books have you read in Japanese or chinese? cuz I've read 82 novels in Japanese and there are still so many words that I don't know...thanks

Mr steve , Arabic writing system its not too much hard just it require practical methods to learn

I wish you long live

Freeeeeeeeeeeeee Palestine

You are amazing 👏

😁😂😉😂😂

හරිම අගෙයි..excellent

انا من مصر😂

استیو نازنین، امیدوارم از این سفر پرماجرا که در مسیر یادگیری زبان‌های مختلف داری، نهایت لذّت را ببری! با آرزوی بهترین ها برای شما. 💚

Free Palestine!

Hi, Steve! Are you planning to add an Amharic cours to LinQ?

Thanks for this enjoying and informative video. Even we, the Persians that are familiar with Arabic script, have our struggle with Arabic language because of its vast and complex grammar system. I wish you will have a good journey and success with these languages. If you traveled to USA, you can practice your Persian in Loss Angeles which has over 100k Persian speakers. Wish you best.

I say Long Live Palestine in all 3 languages.

Good evening how are you ! I am a 47 year old English teacher live in Cairo , Egypt , an Arabic native speaker , who is fond of studying languages ( about 12 languages as far as I remember , I am really impressed by your talent and perseverance and would like to help you conquer any difficulty concerning learning Arabic , I also have great experience of more than 30 years now , my journey with languages I mean , so I wish we can talk some day and exchange our thoughts together and I even thought and always dreamt about construction a universal language theory that will help all learners learn languages fast and want to discuss my thoughts with a man with a very long language learning experience ! very best of luck !

Steve will never be able to speak and understand Arabic and Turkish. He just does not have put enough time and energy to learn these languages. Learn more seriously instead of making and publishing this kind of video which is still a fun for us followers. Apart from Chinese and Japanese he learned when he was young and professionally active, all languages he knows are European languages which are easy for a native user of one of European languages. Steve is brave enough to show us a good example of those who can never complete language learning.

معكم معلم اللغة العربية...لدي خبرة جيدة في تعليم اللغة العربية لغير الناطقين بها ...I am a teacher of Arabic Language with good experience in teaching Arabic to non_ Arabic speakers. I am willing to give you support.

Keşke sizinle bir kez konuşsam size hayranım❤

I deeply appreciate your content and can relate enormously, especially when dealing with learning many languages. For myself, the hardest thing for me to do is when becoming familiar with a language, however seeing the lack of importance it would serve me, and choosing to abandon said language, I feel a looming sense of letting down the people whom speak the language, so it is quite a disheartening moment. Although I have to remind myself that (especially in my lifetime) these languages are not going anywhere and will have plenty of time to learn them, with all that being said, thank you for your advice!

I envy this man for being such an awe-inspiring polyglot and here I'm struggling with my 4th language (Japanese) on my own.
