      13 years of failure learning Tagalog first with conventional lessons then it must be 2,000 hours of storytelling and then this year LingQ that I thought would add something to make the difference. Failure. I have now begged you and your staff and other polyglots what is wrong. I know you probably laugh but I think there is something that polyglots know or do that makes the difference. So what can it be. I can tell you all details for 13 years. I am surrounded by Tagalog and cannot understand talk and I cannot speak.

    Steve these two sentences from you will always be the biggest help I had in terms of my language learning
    „Follow your interest. Find ways to enjoy the process“
    I initially started learning Japanese because I wanted to watch anime and read light novels in Japanese and it kept me going for a while. Then I realized how long it would be until I really would be able to do this and that really sucked out all of my motivation. But over the course of my trouble with kanji I discovered my love for calligraphy, or more so習字, and now I feel like the time just melts away when I’m going through a text in LingQ and try to write the kanji I don’t know as neatly as possible on a sheet of paper with a fude pen, sentence after sentence.

    Extremely excited for you to add Hindi to LingQ. I was just talking about it to friends that I hoped it would be added soon, because I have several South Asian friends and they'll often talk to each other in Hindi which makes me want to learn.
    I'll have to add that to my language learning plans in 2024 haha. Originally I was going to focus on learning Arabic (beginner) while also enjoying content in Spanish and Chinese (intermediate), but perhaps I'll take the first few months of the year to learn some basic Hindi then resume my other studies. It'd probably go faster if I focused on one language at a time, but I find I learn best when I follow where my interest leads me.

As I am currently learning Korean, I wonder at the time when you were learning Korean, what books did you read to facilitate your understanding of the history and culture of Korea?

    Language learning is very fun for me. I have ESP with sound. So I can listen to audios of languages for hours with all my senses dormant (touch, taste, smell, sight) except SOUND. This triggers my brain circuitry to always return, almost like how tobacco companies designed cigarettes so motivation is never a problem for me❤

    OK, so by now I've understand your message: Just Read, Speak and Listen! WhereI struggle the most with is finding good content to listen/read, especially in the complete beginner / a bit advanced learner, as most stuff is complex language and really hard to understand. I really like the Mini Stories on LingQ as they are good for beginners, but you can't learn a language just with them.

Although I'm certainly improving and I know I am, I hope I can read a book by the end. I have read a book already.. I just didn't understand most of it.. so I didn't really enjoy it. Paper book is my next goal!

    You are such an inspiration to me. I started learning Japanese almost 2 years ago, and everything you say is so relevant. Because language learning can happen in sort of a vacuum unless you're in a classroom, it's easy to think, "I'm the only one who can't remember the grammar," or "Why can't I recall words instantly like other people?" But when I take a conversation class, I see other people, including those who have been studying longer, struggling with the same things, and to hear you say it helps too. I will not give up! I love my language journey -- although I'm coming up on causative passive grammar right now and I think that might do me in, haha.

      ​​@@rafacs1.63if you're coming from a very different language like English, I don't think you'll be fluent in Japanese in only 2 years unless you're actively living in Japan and using it every day. I've been learning it for about 3.5 years and although I can understand a lot I can't really speak all that much (mainly because I haven't had much chance to practice with anyone). I don't mean to dishearten anyone of course, the reality is it's a difficult language but with effort you'll definitely get there eventually. As for me, I'll keep going until I'm proficient

    As an Egyptian, I would say that Arabic Fusha is understood in every country but no one use it in daily lives. Egyptian dialect is the most famous one because of the famous dramas and songs so I'd say 75% will understand you perfectly if you use the Egyptian dialect. levantine dialects is also so easy to understand among arabs. I'd say the hardest will be (Algerian, Morocans, Tunisian) because they mix arabic and french. In the end, I don't want you to try to grasp every single dialect cause it will slow you down.

You inspire us to learn and explore and create our own environment in that language. My language learning journey is great with you. And yes I also do the same things as you. I just don't speak or learn the language I live it , I feel it & get into the culture. I feel like that is the key , and I think that every polyglot 's desire is to move to that country (where the language they are learning is spoken) and communicate with the NATIVES.

      @@vincer2147 Agreed - it can be very tempting to try to do more than one language at the same time - I really want to refresh my Italian, it's an itch it's hard not to scratch - but I've decided to spend the time on Japanese and come back to Italian in two years time. Which is the point really - input is king, and every half hour lost to doing another language is *bad*. The problem is getting enough input, every day. And that does not even include the issue of trying to imprint different patterns into the brain at the same time.
      (and then you have the Duolingo users who "study" five or six or ten languages at the same time - a 100% waste of time, but then again all Duo activity is a waste of time)

    I started learning German this year January. I currently reside in Berlin. But to be honest, I have been slow, mostly because I work everyday. I am stuck at A1 level, can barely string words and can’t understand when spoken to. I really hope I can at least make A2 by 2024 and B2 by 2025, cause I’m putting a lot of time and resources into this

      you can totally get to b1 or b2 by the end of this year!! i reached b2 in 8 months. i have a few recommendations, two books on LingQ, and two yt channels, my primary resources to fluency.
      LingQ books:
      1. Die Nachbarn. i read it, has an entertaining plot, it has a lot of unknown vocab at the start but 2-3 chapters in youll be used to it and youll be learning at a good rate
      2. albert einstein biography. each chapter is really short, two pages long, so you can get a bit of practice a lot of times, there are ~ 32 chapters (so less than 100 pages) and id say 5 chapters in (15 or so pages) youll start getting used to it
      Now I also have two excellent yt channels that helped me reach this levek
      1. Natürlich German. start with her absolute beginner, total beginner, and beginner playlists. she uses comprehensible input so it's tje same idea that steve kaufman supports. just remember yiu wont understand every single word but that's fine
      2. Easy german. i still use it now, i recommend it after having tried all the other resources as it's a little more advanced, but itll carry you far
      the above 4 resources made up a large part of my german learning leading me to b2 in 8 months.
      viel glück!!!

    The longer I studied spanish the easier it was to speak because even though I never tried to speak much before, I knew instinctually if it sounded okay, I also had heard certain phrases ad nauseum so those phrases would more readily come to mind instead of thinking of how to build a sentence from the ground up.

    Hi Steve and Guys, I´m from Brazil and My question is: How important you consider our writing practice? I´ve learned english and Spanish Alone and I´ve be consumig - Since the final days of 2023 - Contents in french, just because these three languages are derivated from latim, so, i becomes in theory a little bit easier to "catch" so many similarities aming these languages; In the beginning of my study of english I used to writing expressively but as the time passed I stopped.
    So, I thought really interesting when you mentioned How important is to follow our interests in order to learn a language, I remember that one of the greatest esteps I´ve taken in just one year to improve my listening skills in english was just, in the search bar in youtube I always look for something by writing in english; Example: I could look for "Como posso melhorar as minhas habilidades de escuta a língua francesa?" but as I´m studying french I look for "Comme Je peux améliorer ma habilité de ecouté la langue français?".

    Looking forward to Hindi on Lingq and an opportunity to see your journey with that language. For the major part of the 2024 I'm planning to focus on polishing my Italian and German and then I'm planning to start learning Hindi. So I'm already browsing through some materials and I'm happy to see I'll be able to use Lingq 😍

    Hi Steve, I hope you’re well. I’ve got a question for you, I am very interested in LingQ so to learn Spanish. The only problem is that Spanish (on lingq) is only available in English. I am French and my English skills are quite limited (b2). Do you you think it might be a good idea to learn a new language using a language I do not master yet ? Thanks a lot

    I wish you all the best in 2024, keep being an inspiration for so many ppl. I suggest that you start giving some research on language learning that supports your words. I know that you've mentioned Krashen many times, still, I feel like we need more support for input-oriented learning that I myself practice on my own and with my English students. I truly believe it's the most effective way to learn, however, there are people who find it too overwhelming and they need more assurance that it really works. Additionally, I wonder how much influence learning grammar really has. I feel like in the beginning it's useless and when you're intermediate it makes a lot of sense.

    I recently came across a video channel about Esperanto. I have always thought about learning it and I have a book and take that I’ve had for years but sort of forgot about it. I was wondering if Esperanto is one of your languages and what you think about it.

      Hi Clarence. Esperanto is among the 10 languages I learned over the years. Compared to other languages it was easy to learn and even master, months instead of years. Recently I discovered AlenaFenomena on Twitch.tv. she speaks and sings in the language. I was surprised that after more than 10 years of not using it, I could still understand her, but even more than that. I could still also produce coherent sentences. This wasn't the case with the other languages like Greek and Turkish that I learned and then forgot. My only problem with Esperanto is that you have to go looking for situations to be able to use and practice it.

    Hi teacher. I am grateful for reading the elements of Turkish culture. Turkish history dates back to before the Ottoman Empire. You can experience many different things about our history, geography and traditions. If you want to learn about M. Kemal Atatürk, the most important statesman in recent Turkish history, I recommend you to read the books of the author İlber Ortaylı.

Just this year alone I couldn't read much or respond in Portuguese. Now I write to m friends all the time and can read what they say easily. And just a few months ago I understand nothing of Spoken Portuguese. Now it's becoming easier.. still super difficult.. I've had 2 conversations this month on the phone. The 2nd time I understood a lot more than the 1st and I really didn't study much at all since Thanksgiving. I'm definitely improving. Now I can tell (for my listening comprehension anyway) reading.. idk. It's all just a slow gradual process.

      Olá! Estude um idioma de cada vez. Se você estudar vários idiomas ao mesmo tempo, você vai acabar não aprendendo nenhum. Foco é fundamental! Escolha um idioma e fique só nele até adquirir um bom conhecimento sobre a língua e a cultura. Estude em blocos de tempo curtos, por exemplo, 30 minutos. Evite ficar horas a fio em cima de livros. Você também precisa se divertir ao aprender. Espero que minhas dicas sejam úteis. Sucesso!

      Concordo com Daniel. Não só você está aprendendo uma idioma difícil, mas você está aprendendo MUITAS idiomas difíceis. Acho que isso provavelmente não é uma boa estratégia. Mas se você está contente aprendendo todas as idiomas.. Provavelmente é uma boa ideia fazer uma pausa. Talvez chinês um dia, japonês outra, Alemão outra e coreano outra dia.. ou provavelmente até melhor, uma semana por idioma. *Isenção de responsabilidade* Eu estou apenas aprendendo português agora mesmo então não sei se isso é conselho boa ou não, mas isto é o que eh faria.. a língua mais importante primeiro ( primeiro semana do mês) ou dia a da semana.. e provavelmente dedicar 2 dias por o mais importante. 10 hours por dia.. mano.. Seu cérebro só pode absorver até certo ponto. E 4 idiomas também.. 😬 é por isso que você está frustrado e se sentir como você não está aprendendo. Talvez dar uma pausa por uma semana ou duas.. o um mês.
