Bro by Summer 2020 she's gonna be communicating with the aliens.
After learning every human language, she starts making videos on languages that we have never seen before, and the UN starts taking a particular interest in this, because these languages shouldn't be available to the public.

Lol hahaha

This just called me lazy in 12 languages
🤣
This called me 'stupid', 'fool', 'idiot' and 'useless' in 12 languages..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Trust me, you just have to find something you're keenly interested in and that you find valuable in your life. That's the only reason why anyone is productive or accomplishes great things: they saw it to be beneficial and interesting enough to put hard work towards it.
Here is a good advice in learning the languages: Learn them one by one, and when you go to the next one, learn it in the most recent language you learned. (for example you learned Spanish and have plans on learning French, learn French in Spanish)
happy studies.
I haven't done this but this sounds like an amazing idea! Please know that I will be trying this!
Good points but at the same time there are just so much more resources learning from English depending on what languages they are
I actually just started to learn French and even when people said that is more easy if you learn it from Spanish (my first lenguange) I noticed there's a lot more resources to learn it in English
It is true that there are more resources in English, but I just personally think that it is better to learn newer languages through the recent languages, because it helps you in both languages, the one that you are learning, and the one you have learned in making it stay in your head while also learning a new language, besides it could be a fun challenge.
This is a really good advice. I'm a native spanish speaker trying to learn japanese with english resources. I must say it's helping me build the confidence to start using english actively instead of just reading/listening.
Lindie: learn 12 languages in 2020

she was/is interested in icelandic!! i'm so honored
I've heard Icelandic is hard.
Chocolate Rain icelandic is hard even for natives
ég er líka að læra íslensku ;) 🇮🇸
Well ,she also has the money to learn all of those laungages. I checked lingoda, and to gave private 1/1 instructions like she had for Spanish is more than 200 eur/month. Anyway, she is really encouraging.
Valeria VPV what
When I was 7 years old I had the goal/dream to learn 14 languages, now I'm 21 and only speak 4 languages. I hope to learn the 10 remaining languages, this video really inspired me because I kinda gave up on learning new languages.
Learning a language was so much easier for me as a child, now I'm scared of messing up.
That is so cute! But don't be scared, that is not something someone is forcing you to do, you do it for yourself so feel free to do it on your own terms. :)
When I was like 4/5 I had a dream of four languages and additional two. I never thought much about it until I was about 17/18 and realized I've learned two of them. I then got excited to learn the other two as well. However, in the few following years I got to knoe about more languaged and cultures and fell inlove with two other languaged which are not part of the dream. So now idk if I'll ever learn the original two to a very good level, maybe I'll only dabble in them. But! *I don't feel bad about it. ^^* It's my dream so I changed it to my preference. Life can take us in different directions.
Don't be scared! You can just learn for yourself and enjoy reading stuff, listening to music and watching movies in your new language. If you do mess up, nobody will be any the wiser, and you'll gradually improve if you stick with it. And if you choose to try out your new knowledge on native speakers, which I recommend, you don't need to worry. They'll be extremely appreciative of your efforts and they won't judge you for messing up. You'll get compliments and looks of surprise, not criticism, even if you are far from perfect. Go for it!
Also, if you decide to take the leap, and write up a schedule and all that, don't be too hard on yourself if life gets in the way and you fall behind. Keep marchin' on, slow progress is better than no progress!
@@EmperorsReview me or Tranquil Lee?
You can do it!
@@EmperorsReview ok then :) I practically grew up bilingual in Romanian and Hungarian, to which I later added English, French and Italian. Out of the three, I rate my English as very good, the other two are somewhat weaker but still good enough. I also understand written Spanish to the point of being able to read and enjoy a novel without much effort, but spoken Spanish is a bit trickier... But I can carry out a basic conversation. I also know a little German, but I should brush up on it - it's only good enough for going shopping or asking for directions if lost. During last year I added Turkish to the bunch, and while it's still very much a work in progress, I can now follow a movie or TV series without subtitles, and I have been able to hold conversations with people in Turkey when I went on holiday there this summer. By no means perfect, but I got no flak for my mistakes, and this experience is what makes me say you should just go for it and learn the language you want to learn without worrying about mistakes. I feel even the tiniest amount of knowledge goes a long way and opens up new worlds. Plus, that little glow of satisfaction you get when you are able to communicate with others in your new language is just priceless, in my opinion!
I actually am rather shy and I have a bit of a fear of failure too, so I understand these feelings, but I've luckily reached the point where I know it's better to just embrace the messiness of it and dive right in without worrying too much - the more you practice a language the better you eventually get at it. Even if you're no longer that young, you shouldn't let your age put you off :)

Hi, do you have any recommandation of resources to learn russian ? I'm French by the way 😉
Aisu Aisu any tips for Russian language??
@@LeMondedeCarla04 Hi😊 Unfortunatley can't recommend you anything. I learned the language at the same time with my mother language. Also I live in Russia so it was easy for me than. The only thing I can recommend is to listen to russian-speaking people. Cuz writing and daily speech are very different.
한국어도 알아요?
@@aysu8850 Thank you for the reply though 😉 And do you maybe have any russian youtuber that you think I should follow to listen to spoken russian ?
Me, a bilingual : I'm smart :D
Me, seeing you: I take that back
😁😁 ya same here
You're still smart! Most people here in England don't even bother learning their own language properly!
@@OneBiteoftheCherry As an Asian with decent English i've noticed that too. Particularly from those who didn't finish highschool...
Hey. Many people only speak one...so you're way ahead of most people. But working on a 3rd would be great. Trilingual!

Good idea to learn Russian, a very nice language. Russian is my mother tongue and I would be glad to help you with learning it. Moreover, I am a teacher on italki. teach.italki.com/teacher/4499656
Can we learn Japanese and French together.
Also, Hindi is my native language, so I can help you when you start
You'resolovelyI'msolovelyWe'resolovelylovelylovely persian is such a beautiful language. If you need any help, feel free to ask.
Hebrew wont be hard btw but truetvme you need to learn how to roll your R
Why? Why do you need these all languages?
I’m being a little more realistic with my languages and giving myself a year to learn each one of them and become fluent. Hopefully I can master
French
Spanish
German
Russian
Mandarin
Bonne chance!
I m also learning French, Spanish, German and Russian. All the best.
Jake Jacobs wish you the best of luck man! I’m starting to be able to say simple phrases in French... we got this!!!!!
Good luck but give yourself more than a year as a realistic goal as I have studied 1 hour a day for a year of french and am still not to fluency so I would say give yourself at least 3 years
How's it going?
I really need to know how you find the time for all of this. I'm struggling enough working on two languages
Same, I can't even keep two languages at the same time.
Maybe it all comes down to experience and knowing a few languages already? I only know 2 languages atm and my goals for 2020 will be to learn one more. I don't think it'd be realistic for me to learn 4 in that year for example, but I'm hoping that for 2021, I'll be able to learn 2 or 3 rather than just 1 :)
Lots of free time on her hands, I suppose. I mean, good for her, but even if I had every single hour of the day on my disposal I wouldn't try studying 12 languages...
I was thinking about what I wrote. A better answer would be: she has a lot of time on her hands AND she really wants to learn all these languages, so she's using all that time doing something she loves doing. My intention was not to "roast" Lindie or anything... Sorry if it sounded like that. In fact, I admire this will of learning all those languages.
She's been studying for around 10 years every day for at least an hour or two often more. It's achievable, especially as she's living in a country where she has to speak four of the languages on her list week to week.
I spent 7 years studying danish and I am so glad I saw it on your list. I rarely see anyone considering danish as a language to study! It’s such a beautiful unique language.
Wow she has a full time job and she does tutoring and is aiming to learn 12 languages.
I usually don't watch +10 minutes videos, but for Lindie I could watch a whole hour of them! :D
I don't usually let the commercials run, either; but I let them roll so that Lindie gets something for the upload.
same
If you want to study lao language i cant help you
I think Lindie makes every part of the video fun and interersting to watch :)
my goals:
♡french - I've just started high school and I'm learning french 21 hours a week sooo quite intense
♡korean - I can read and write but can't really understand much. Consuming media everyday helps me tho!
♡japanese - can understand most of the time but can't read anything besides hiragana :( I need to step up my game
♡chinese - it's honestly so challenging but I ain't giving up
♡thai, vietnamese, greek, german - some languages I'm interested in :)
You got all the languages I wanna learn!! I think Italian is beautiful as well! Good luck 💜

those who really love learning languages understand that "junky" feeling when u dig into a new language (s). it's so cool that this girl makes us feeling it again n again 🤘
When I was still studying Russian as my third language, i was terribly struggling. When i finished studying it, i was so proud of my self and for wht i have achieved. And then there's this girl who's studying 12 at a time which makes me feel like I've reached nothing 🤣
me too...Russian is also my third .. i feel the same way..
studying Russian as your third language is pretty good as well. There are many people who can only speak one language!
Learning a language shouldn’t be a race. Everyone is different. It’s a great accomplishment that you’ve learned Russian. You should be proud.
@Mike K I've been huge fan of this Russian classical pianist for 4 years now and I wanted to understand some of his interviews because, you know, he speaks Russian most of the time. This might be a very shallow reason but that was just the start. Now I am more determined to learn Russian for all the other things such as travelling, because I wanted to learn a new language, and etc.
@@juliaromero7512 I'm proud of you Julia Pomero! I've been studying Russian for years now with little success. Just got back on the wagon. So if you are comparing yourself to others, remember that some people haven't achieve what you have. Keep striving, never give up, you're doing great!
How can someone learn so many languages at the same time? I have been focused on Japanese and passing N3. I tried learning other languages but whenever I try to learn other languages it takes up so much of time or it makes my Japanese level go down. It's really hard for me not to mix up languages and balance time with it because just one language alone is a lot of work. I wonder how someone does that
Focus on one. It's better to have an intensive period of learning only one language. Master it to the level you can communicate and understand at least every day conversations. Then add a new language.
Really, there is no point in learning many languages at once especially when you have no opportunity to use them.
redMonkey the reason I asked is how does Lindie study so many languages? Does she focus on one mostly and the others are just side things?
I once tried, it worked if you like to learn new languages. I learned Japanese, German and Korean at the same time.
@@desakputurakaparamita954 Interesting. And what's the result? You don't feel like you could have made faster progress in one language, if you had focused only on learning one for some time?
@@pinkvalentino I think so too. The progress is depend, it's mostly effective if you had a lot of holiday and spare time. The result is I mastered one of the language faster than the other, of course. It's all about learning capability....

Hi, Lindie. You seem to be one of the first to come up with an annual plan for 2020. This weekend, I'll move out of my parents' house (Dad died in 2002 and Mom last month) and into an apartment by myself (actually the basement of a stranger's home). My plan is to have different language courses in different locations in the apartment, and what I study will be based on where I am at the time. I have several MP3 players because I prefer to use audio programs (Innovative Language podcasts, Michel Thomas, Glossika, etc.) and I'm now in the process of choosing which language and course to put on which MP3 player and where to put it in my home (one beside my bed, one on the couch, etc.), as well as which languages I'll study by book (intermediate Japanese textbooks for reading practice) or via computer (Language Boost courses created by polyglots Jan van der Aa and Lucas Bighetti). I'm tentatively planning this winter to focus on Japanese (mostly reading/kanji), French (mostly listening), and Russian (mastering the basics/high beginner level)--however, I might still change my mind on which languages. I had a good Add1Challenge experience with German this year, so I might add German or substitute Russian with German. Also, I've tried to learn Mandarin Chinese, but so far it's my most difficult language, and I don't know if I want to continue it. Best wishes on your goals and languages! Thanks for the video.
Yeah, it's so hard to find that balance of pushing yourself but also going easy on yourself when you take on too much. Also, trying to focus on the languages you already know and make them REALLY GOOD, this is what I struggle with. I know that I should spend 2020 just honing French and Swedish, but I doubt I'll be able to resist starting a new one by, say, June haha.
Good luck with your goals!
Oregon Polyglot oh please, don’t drop Russian. Этот язык будет скучать по тебе)
Chinese is my main language, and the problems most foreigners face is the pronounciation, it’s hard. I wish you the best of luck in learning!
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother. May God be your comfort in this transitional period!
What a wonderful and unique idea you have about the language courses in different locations! That's almost like creating an immersive zone for each! Super cool. And I know what you mean about Mandarin. The struggle is real. Good luck for 2020!!
God bless you 💓 nous vous aimons tous and will be praying for you
I started watching you a year and a half ago, before I could talk any Japanese, this December I’m going for JLPT N3 and starting learning Korean. Thank you so much for inspiration)

Forças que tu consegue anjo :D
When I saw your instagram post I feel really inspired and decided in my languages goals for 2020. English and Korean both with the goal to take the exams. I just want to say thank you!
Bon courage avec ton français et la conjugaison !!
Bienvenue!
Las conjugaciones son difíciles en todas las lenguas romances
C’est vrai que la conjugaison en français est un casse-tête!

Sur le début c'est diffcile, mais après pas
I think you have a lot of passion and that’s great. You have a hobby and that’s cool. I am a language teacher in China and Japan and I have to say that you are spreading yourself way too thin by taking on so many languages as an adult. I only speak English, Chinese, and Japanese, but if you want real depth with what you are learning I think it’s better to have some focus. But what you are doing is still cool as a hobby. Best wishes.
Luckily not all of these languages are at beginner level and I'm learning new ones through other languages. This is what I enjoy and I appreciate your thoughts but I enjoy what I'm doing! Of course it would be a terrible idea to learn all 12 languages from scratch. I've been learning Korean for 10 years and that's enough of a base and depth to let it be a language medium to study others from.
Hola! Spanish speaker over here. :) I found your video sooo inspiring. I'm focusing on german, russian and mandarin this year. Te deseo mucho éxito estudiando la lengua de Cervantes este año.
Inspirational! I love how you add in that learning languages is a learned skill, not some sort of inherent talent - it makes becoming a "polyglot" seem so much more doable for us not-so-clever folks. One day I hope to be as good at my TLs as you are at Korean, I hope your drive will inspire me to continue!
My goals for 2020 are: reach a B2 level in Welsh, and reach a B1 level in Portuguese. I might start Korean if I have enough time... My ultimate (life) goal is to speak eight languages, but I'm taking things slow. :P
PS. LOVE your Lingodeer plushie!
Yell Heah hi,I’m a native Portuguese speaker and I’d like to know what Portuguese are you learning because if it’s Brazilian Portuguese I’d be really happy to help you getting through it
I've been learning Korean for 3 years, I love it but I however have to warn you : learn it ONLY if this is the only asian language you like. If you also like Chinese I would highly recommend learning this one as it is in higher demand and is way easier outside of the character aspect. Korean may look easier but when you actually get into it it is HELL
i saw the title and just from that i almost had a heart attack
u got this!!!!!!! good luck with all ur language adventures!!!
Lindie, I have watched this video so many times because it is so motivating for me and has inspired me to keep working on multiple languages myself. Your update videos after this one are reassuring for when your goals and plans don’t go as you originally planned. Love your advice, and thank you for what you do! 안녕!!!
Language I know :
French , this is my native language
And I can speak and understand 4 other languages:
-Italian
-Spanish
-English
- Norwegian
And I am 15 years old 👋
Logan Carson Parles-tu ces langues couramment ? Parce-que on ne peut pas prétendre de les parler en comprendre juste parce-que tu les bosses au collège et un peu chez toi (le niveau en 4ème est le A2, donc très basique). Au collège tu ne sais que la langue de manière très basique (et donc pas assez pour prétendre la connaître). Par exemple, dans mon cas, je peux dire que je parle couramment 2 langues : l’Italien et le français (j’ai vécu en Italie jusqu’à l’âge de 10 ans, puis j’ai déménagé et ça va faire mnt 6 ans que je suis en France); je saisis toutes les subtilités de ces 2 langues. Pour ce qui est de l’anglais je comprends 95% quand les gens parlent dans n’importe quelle conversation, je sais également m’exprimer (de manière basique) à l’écrit. Ceci est pareil pour l’espagnol, ce n’est pas pour autant que je me dis que je parle ces langues.
En tout cas ne prend pas mal ce commentaire, je ne vise strictement pas à ne pas reconnaître les compétences que tu as peut-être, je cherche juste à m’assurer que tu sais bien ce que tu prétend savoir, sans tomber dans des abus de langage 🙂
@@korboat en tout cas merci tout ce temps pour ce commentaire très constructif et pour te répondre je n'ai aucun mérite à savoir parler et écrire dans toutes ses langues car en fait , ma famille et moi , on déménage beaucoup à cause du travail à mon père, alors ses langues je les apprend pas au collège, mais dans la vie de tout les jours , et aussi je suis passionné de langues donc ça aide aussi , désolé si je fais des fautes d'orthographe, cela fait déjà 4 ans que j'habite en Californie où on parle anglais et beaucoup espagnol et si je parle italien , c'est parce que ma mère est italienne bye 🖐
Logan Carson D’accord, merci de m’avoir éclaircie 😊 Bonne journée (:
Woah!
wow you're really good
Fluency in 15 languages!!! Dayum! I've been learning 4 languages over the last 10-11 years. Russian has been my opus magnum. I literally just finished reading War and Peace in Russian. It was a hell of a a mountain to climb. Even after living in Russia for 5 years. Удачи с твоими целями изучения иностранных языков 👍
OMG! Not all Russians read 'War and Peace'. But it's a foreign language for you and you did it.. 😱😱😱
Wow!! I'm Russian and I can say that knowing this language at your level is extremely impressive! Good luck learning other languages
@@likami6830 wow how old are you?
My goals for 2020 are: Italian (B2 level), German (A1 level) and English (B2 level). I'm studying Italian at the university now.
My goals are Korean (A2 level) and Portuguese (A2 level)
@@isabeltorres8614 Good for you👌
Quale libro stai usando all'uni per studiare Italiano ?
@@Mark-ko8sc Progetto italiano 1 (A1-A2) e progetto italiano 2 (B1-B2)
German is one of my goals too
Thx so much. This has inspired me to learn more languages and I have even made a plan like this! I love your vids and almost all the time, especially when I feel discouraged, I watch your vids and I feel a sudden boost of motivation! Keep on making more videos! Ami
I'm new to your channel, but you have clearly found your deepest passion in life. Congratulations: that is a rare thing. Finding your joy is the Holy Grail of life.
I love how you pronounced hindi properly instead of saying hin-DEE
My goals for 2020:
French, German, Latin, Italian - just maintain through low level practice. I'm not fluent in these but comfortable enough to let them progress slowly.
Arabic - add in lots of exposure for listening practice as so far I've focussed only on reading, writing and grammar. Also start branching out from standard Arabic to include a dialect.
Japanese and Chinese - focus on reading and writing to improve my memory for the characters rather than just speaking and listening.
Korean - work through a few textbooks to make sure my grammar is correct. Keep building my vocabulary.
Others - I'm really interested in different writing scripts so, depending on how things go, I would like to learn maybe 2-3 more next year.
For everything, I need to work on my confidence in speaking. My tongue turns to lead and brain panics and goes blank.
Thank-you for your videos Lindie, you've inspired me to work harder in my language learning and to have the confidence to follow everything I'm interested in when so many people tell me it's too much and too hard. I still call myself monolingual because I'm too nervous to speak but my dream is to one day be confident enough to answer 'yes' when someone asks if I can speak another language.
How much time do you spend learning languages overall?
@@CrisOnTheInternet it varies depending on my other commitments, but between half an hour of active learning on busy days or when I'm too worn out, and 3 or more hours on less busy days. Then in addition to that I have more passive activities in other languages like watching TV, reading books, watching CZcams.
yassss good luck! ✨
I love how in Arabic you’ll start including a dialect. Because that’s the real experience when you learn standard Arabic and a dialect alongside each other this will allow your Arabic to be as natural as possible. This way you’ll understand other dialects too once you’re comfortable in standard Arabic and a dialect, because you’ll then realise Arabic dialects are more similar than you think, it’s all about the origin which is standard Arabic. Good luckkkk
Which form of Arabic are you studying?

this is really impressive, the effort that goes into understanding & learning languages with such diverse history is commendable! I'm fluent in 11 languages but all are native to India. You're an inspiration! I'm going to give Dutch, Spanish & Portuguese a shot in 2020.
Anurag I don’t know if English is native to India lol
@@M_SC i think he meant that they are all official or spoken in India
I absolutely loved your style of talk. It seems like you give individual attention to each syllable, so that when you talk it's clear and crisp. Your notebooks look very neat too. I just started learning Mandarin, and this video gives a good feel of learning. Thanks.
i'm really appreciate that you want to learn Malay language.
because i'm from Malaysia💛

Your work is really inspiring! I speak two languages fluently and I just started learning Japanese! Which is what brought me here.
I had no idea they had Polyglot conferences, or that there were Polyglot CZcams channels like this. Someday I'd love to go to a conference like that... I can't practice my French very often where I am 😅

Ооо, ты учишь Русский язык. Круто) как успехи?
I always come back to this video when I'm I'm as motivated and feel drained. I am only learning one language right now and my dream goal is to be fluent in both French and Mandarin. I'm learning French in school and although it is at a very good level, I want to intensely study on my own for a while. Mandarin is the language that I am focusing on mostly even further than in school. Seeing you tackle and talk and plan for things you are confident and trust yourself to accomplish and inspiring. If you can focus on all those languages, imagine the knowledge I can get from both my languages in a year of intended study
Hey! I can speak French and Mandarin too. Why are you learning these?
Great video. VERY interested to see when you start posting content on learning Norwegian!! 🤩✨
I didn't realize it was possible to learn more than one language at a time. Thanks for the motivation. Love the earrings.
You’re learning Norwegian! I’m always happy when I see people learning my language. I’m studying korean and a french myself 🙆🏼♀️
I want to study Norwegian and Danishhh btww I'm a Filipino
