I recommend you use Wikipedia for find phonology of language ,its will show ipa symbol ,it help to distinguish sounds better , and also use wiktionary to see word with ipa pronounce and sound.
How long in your in your city 🎉
I do not tell you out of the city I think you travel a lot of the country per year
Technically, Hungarian is a category 2 language, so it isn’t hard at all - those lists aren’t accurate! The easiest languages to learn are the prettiest languages ever aka the Germanic languages (English is the easiest language ever created, and Dutch and Norwegian and Icelandic and Norse and Faroese and Gothic and Danish and Luxembourgish and Swedish and the three Frisian languages are among the easiest languages to learn) and also the 6 modern Celtic languages (Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx which are category 1 languages, and Irish and Scottish Gaelic which are both category 3 languages) and the actual Latin languages (Galician / Latin / Gallo / Portuguese / Sardinian / Occitan / Pretarolo / Venetian / Sicilian / Friulian / Ladin / Corsican / Italian / Guernsey / Esperanto / Walloon / Ancient Latin / French) and Hungarian and Slovene (the easiest and prettiest Slavic language) and also Finnish / Latvian / Estonian - I highly recommend learning languages from this list which only contains the pretty and easy languages, especially Icelandic / Norse / Dutch / Norwegian / Faroese which are the prettiest languages ever that are as pretty / refined / poetic as English and that are way too pretty not to know! However, to get to a native speaker level in a pretty and easy language or in multiple pretty and easy languages, it takes at least two or three years - it isn’t possible to learn over 10.000 base words automatically in 24 hours only or even in five months etc, so it takes a few years of regular and constant éxpòsure and a lot of watching and rewatching of vocab videos with hundreds and thousands of words over a longer period of time and watching every video and movie with subs in the target languages and memorizing as many lyrics as possible etc to reach true fluency!
The only easy languages from that list are Dutch and Italian and Portuguese (category 1 languages) and Hungarian (mid category 2 languages like Old English) and, the rest are hard to learn! Serbian is a category 3 or category 2 language if it uses the Latin alphabet, but most words aren’t easy to memorize, so it isn’t easy to learn, and Slovene would have been a way better option as Slovene is the easiest Slavic language and has a very light and organized spelling and mostly pretty words, so it’s way easier to learn than Serbian, and Czech is a category 4 language, just as Polish, with very heavy spelling, and the rest are all very hard with different alphabets and characters and odd spellings etc and very non-pretty words and sounds that are extremely hard to memorize, and Chinese / Japanese / Korean etc are category 10 / category 9 languages with impossible characters and tones and very similar words that sound the same and that are very confusing! The prettiest languages are always the easiest and the most fun to learn, so I would have included Dutch / Norwegian / Icelandic / Norse / Faroese on the easiest languages to learn, as these 5 languages are as gorgeous as English with very pretty and memorable words and very easy pronunciations, just like English, and English which is the easiest ever, but that goes without saying - so these are the easiest and most fun to learn for a speaker of English, but also in general, as they are very easy to learn and memorize, and languages like Welsh and Breton and Galician and Spanish and Italian and Slovene and Hungarian etc are also super easy to learn and pronounce etc!
Sorry for making a mistake and using the German flag instead of the correct Dutch flag! 🇳🇱
Things happen🤪
Maybe it is confusing because "deutsch" (german for german) sounds similiar to dutch.
We know Americans suck in Geography, don’t worry
Wou net zeggen 😂
🇳🇱
As a native English speaker, I just wanted to let you know that you made no mistakes when speaking English and that’s very hard, so props!👏🏻
Hy I’m learning english and i really wants to talk with a native speaker to improve my communication skills , could u help me?
You’re doing good so far, also don’t worry too much about grammar because most people who are native to English have horrible grammar. 💀
It’s not hard, as English is literally the easiest language ever created, in every way, which was designed that way on purpose, so that it could easily become the universal language fast - it has the easiest / most modern / coolest pronunciation ever with the softest sounds that are very easy to make, just like Icelandic and Norse and Faroese and Dutch and Norwegian, and English also has the easiest and most flexible word orders, and the easiest spelling, which is why English words are the easiest to use and the easiest to type on any device, as they have no diacritics and no accent (except for very few loanwords like esumé) and no umlauts etc, English having the lightest spelling ever, just like Dutch spelling, and it also has the prettiest words ever, just like Icelandic / Norse / Faroese / Dutch / Norwegian words, these 6 languages being the prettiest languages ever with the prettiest words and the most pretty words, which makes them super easy to memorize and learn, as one naturally remembers the prettier and more distinctive words faster!
By the way, Hungarian is a category 2 language, so it isn’t hard either - those lists aren’t accurate! The easiest languages to learn are the prettiest languages ever aka the Germanic languages (English is the easiest language ever created, and Dutch and Norwegian and Icelandic and Norse and Faroese and Gothic and Danish and Luxembourgish and Swedish and the three Frisian languages are among the easiest languages to learn) and also the 6 modern Celtic languages (Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Manx which are category 1 languages, and Irish and Scottish Gaelic which are both category 3 languages) and the actual Latin languages (Galician / Latin / Gallo / Portuguese / Sardinian / Occitan / Pretarolo / Venetian / Sicilian / Friulian / Ladin / Corsican / Italian / Guernsey / Esperanto / Walloon / Ancient Latin / French) and Hungarian and Slovene (the easiest and prettiest Slavic language) and also Finnish / Latvian / Estonian - I highly recommend learning languages from this list which only contains the pretty and easy languages, especially Icelandic / Norse / Dutch / Norwegian / Faroese which are the prettiest languages ever that are as pretty / refined / poetic as English and that are way too pretty not to know! However, to get to a native speaker level in a pretty and easy language or in multiple pretty and easy languages, it takes at least two or three years - it isn’t possible to learn over 10.000 base words automatically in 24 hours only or even in five months etc, so it takes a few years of regular and constant éxpòsure and a lot of watching and rewatching of vocab videos with hundreds and thousands of words over a longer period of time and watching every video and movie with subs in the target languages and memorizing as many lyrics as possible etc to reach true fluency!
The only easy languages from that list are Dutch and Italian and Portuguese (category 1 languages) and Hungarian (mid category 2 languages like Old English) and, the rest are hard to learn! Serbian is a category 3 or category 2 language if it uses the Latin alphabet, but most words aren’t easy to memorize, so it isn’t easy to learn, and Slovene would have been a way better option as Slovene is the easiest Slavic language and has a very light and organized spelling and mostly pretty words, so it’s way easier to learn than Serbian, and Czech is a category 4 language, just as Polish, with very heavy spelling, and the rest are all very hard with different alphabets and characters and odd spellings etc and very non-pretty words and sounds that are extremely hard to memorize, and Chinese / Japanese / Korean etc are category 10 / category 9 languages with impossible characters and tones and very similar words that sound the same and that are very confusing! The prettiest languages are always the easiest and the most fun to learn, so I would have included Dutch / Norwegian / Icelandic / Norse / Faroese on the easiest languages to learn, as these 5 languages are as gorgeous as English with very pretty and memorable words and very easy pronunciations, just like English, and English which is the easiest ever, but that goes without saying - so these are the easiest and most fun to learn for a speaker of English, but also in general, as they are very easy to learn and memorize, and languages like Welsh and Breton and Galician and Spanish and Italian and Slovene and Hungarian etc are also super easy to learn and pronounce etc!
I would say getting a tutor is one of the best things you can do when you're in the beginning of learning a new language.
Challenging yourself is one of the perfect and amazing thing. It changes your whole life. It's so enjoyable right😊. You gave me an idea to challenge myself again Veronika .Thanks a lot. Love you.....😊❤
Yes! Thank you!
Agree
"You're not just teaching English; you're changing lives. Thank you for your dedication!"
I love your passion about learning foreign language much Dear Veronika My Dear Beautiful English Teacher.🤗😍🥰
Thank you!
Hello Veronica, my native language is Greek and when i watched your video i was so happy that you tried to learn some greek phrases in greek. Greeks made the Latin alphabet which English is based from also there are plenty Greek word that there are used in English for example (philosophy, geometry,crisis, architecture...) Indeed, it has been claimed that as many as 150,000 words in Modern English have their roots in the Ancient Greek language. By some calculations, that's 30% of the English language! 5% of these words are directly borrowed from Greek, while another 25% are borrowed indirectly, mainly through Latin.
Oooo what a difficult challange 🎉🎉
It’s perfect ,you are perfect Veronika❤
I don’t know if Greek was an option, but Pimsleur has really motivated me. You're really speaking and understanding after even 1 lesson.
Wow! What a dificult challenge! I do appreciate your effort to make this interesting video. I know a few phrases in Greek because of a video game "Age of mythology". ❤❤❤
As i am Korean, I highly recommend that you would learn Korean alphabet called ‘’Hangeul”. Hangeul is super well-organized so I bet you will be able to learn how to write it within 24 hours. I mean.. Just the way to write. but, as you know and i know that learning speaking is sooo difficult to non-native speaker.감사합니다! (Thank you!)❤
I'm judy from Philippines and Korean is one of the languages that I.wanna learn as for now I'm listening to.songs though I don't understand them however it's motivates me to.learn the language.
솔직히 말하면 러시아 사람들에게 한국 회화가 어렵지 않아요 왜냐하면 러시아어에서는 모음과 자음이 한국어와 비슷해서요
@@gkssk_4사실 러시아인들한테 한국어 회화는 생각보다 어렵지 않을수 있다고 봅니다. 왜냐면 러시아어의 모음과 자음이 한국어랑 많이 비슷하거든요.
한국어 공부를 정말 열심히 하신게 느껴져서 한국인의 입장에서 방금 쓰신 문장이 더 자연스럽게 들리도록 살짝 다듬어봤어요. 저도 러시아어를 배워보고 싶다는 생각이 드네요. 파이팅!
@@nottolearnbuttouse 아 네,전 한국학과 학생이에요. 다듬어서 감사합니다. 러시아어를 배우기를 바랍니다 !
I am Greek and I feel like I don't know Greek. This language is so rich, it takes a lifetime to learn it. But it is also so beautiful. Because when I try to speak in other languages or in English, there are some words that don't exist, so I can't describe exactly what I want to say or feel.
I'm from Brazil I've been trying to learn english, I know it's not easy to learn a foreing language. But I don't give up easily. I like the way you teach english
I'm also Brazilian and I'm learning English on my own, I love these videos talking about the subject.
The best language CZcamsr who gives the best language advice ❤
Thank you!
Hi Veronica

I'm from UZBEKISTAN 🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿🇺🇿😊😊😊😊
It was really fun to watch this video, now I also want to challenge myself! Thanks Veronica❤
Omg its incredible when you set a timer you can do anything u want, i enjoy this video thanks Vero 😄
BRAVO ❤🎉 Just got to realize how much you've been avoiding learning Korean, Actually i also love learning new languages, and i started with Korean! it's was actually difficult starting at first, but became easy and interesting at some point, just give it a try.❤
glad to see one more video of yours...we love ya
I really liked this video! 👏🏻👏🏻 I could watch this from begging to end and not see time pass. I aways want to learn greek and now I want to learn it soon.
this video gives me such inspiration to learn languages😊
Such an amazing video😍 you really have to make videos like this🎉
Thank you!
For me as a mathematician and fluent speaker of Serbian and Russian, Greek alphabet was very easy to learn.
I really loved this idea because challenging yourself make you strong more than you are and this the best thing because challenging your self is better than challenging other people. I really loved this video and i will do this challenge my self to learn french in 7 days but not right no because. I am a student in high school and i don't have time to study other language because in these days I am focusing on my english. I hope that you do challenge on learning Arabic I really hope so 😊
I learned a lot from you. Thank you. The best teacher and the most beautiful teacher
Veronika I like challenges but this is really hard, thank you for sharing. I want to try this now. Ok, let’s help me to choose new language to learn.
You can do it!
Ahí te va una 💡: Podes tomar una oración mediana y probar en que idioma la pronunciación te da mejores resultados.
I love your all videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I hope your all videos trend in invasive way❤.
Hey ! Loved the video, it was really entertaining 😊 I have to say the sponsorship wasn’t really stated clearly from the beginning, even though it felt like one, I got it only later on. I like it better when it’s on the screen straight away, personally!
I lover your videos!! I learn a lot with you😊😊
Beautiful presentation ❤
I think it really good how to learn other languages, i will try to learn like this to challenge myself.Thank you so much 🙏
Hey!! Ne (Ναί) is exactly the same in Korean! YES in Korean IS Ne (네)!!!!
Btw, Loved the challenge!!!It was really FUN!!

Thanks my small teacher 😂 keep going learning greek 💕
What a challenge!!
Thank u very much ❤❤❤
Your font was perfect . Better than mine as I am Greek. And by the way the grammar is crazy hard.
Awesome 😊
Helenica makes sense ! We use that word in French as well, for example Greek culture would be culture hellénique 😊
Great!
Love your videos ❤
Thank you!
I'm doing this tomorrow with Català, thx for the idea!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello Veronika,
thank you for the interesting video. I've been to Greece 🇬🇷 many times and you're right, the language is difficult. The country is very beautiful.
I've been to Russia 🇷🇺 a lot in my life and it's true that my Russian language skills didn't help with the Greek language.
Kind wishes, Gerold
Loved your video! Discovered it when I uploaded a video of learning german in 24 hours.
Now I'm gonna focus on many other languages. 😅😂 I'm gonna be the fastest polyglot of all time! lmao
Hi Veronika! I m really glad that you started to learn greek. I am from Romania and a greek speaker. If you want help with the greek I will be glad to help you, because I now that on the internet there are so little resources. Thank you very much helping me with my english. Just I started my university in foreign languages with greek and english!😁🤗
Hellooo. How are you. I want to learn greek.can you teach me?
@@nilifarorolova1442Hello! Yes, I will be glad to help you.
Awesome!
Thank you!
You inspire us everyday to learn learn learn
Thank you!

Love to see you and hear your voice
Thank you!
Good job
Hermosa profe de ingles Veronika
😇 new video ❤

I'll check it out!
这期真的太有趣了
I like your talking style....so much........I from Bangladesh
I'm a Greek and I see your greek writing and is very good🎉🎉🎉🎉
I was rooting for Hungarian 🇭🇺, because I am Hungarian and I would have been curious to see how and how much you would have learned.😂🇭🇺
The video is great! ❤️
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!
I liked your keyboard. =)
You need to try Portuguese, because the last one that did this became very famous here in Brazil. Brazilians love people who want to learn their language, I'm Brazilian and I also think that's amazing.
It is not the "24-hour" that matters, it's the will to do the challenge and hopefully to create technique(s) for yourself and others.
2:26 Great. Korean is a bit difficult. Since I am also Korean, I feel that learning another language is not easy.
It's a really really amazing and interesting vedio and challenge. I really enjoyed watching ❤ and got some awesome tips to learn language. Greek is an amazing language and some of its alphabets are used in many subjects like mathematics (as many great philosophers who invented great theories are from greek). The alphabet with round shape you just shown (and that's not in my keyboard) in electrical engineering we call it as 'ohm' the unit of resistance and the second one '∆' is called delta.
Please continue to make such kind of interesting videos for us, we really enjoy watching such kind of interesting content ❤😊.
Thank you!
@@veronika_languagediaries Hey Ms. Mark I want to request to you. Can you please do a short lesson on 'Exercises to speak clearly and slowly.'
I love your video. It's a such a challenge for sure. However, I wouldn't start from the alphabet if my focus was to SPEAK a language in 24 hours.
Try to learn Brazilian Portuguese ! I would love to watch that ❤🇧🇷
Hi Veronica, This video was awesome 👌. And it's so fun.I have an another doubt. In how many days can one speak English like a native speaker?Which age good to start learning English to speak like a native English speaker? Please tell me.
Your English is very good, do have a short video
Nice❤❤❤❤
ngl, i wish u learned turkish (my native language) it is kinda hard for non natives but i really love it! I hope u check it out❤
Love from 🇳🇵
Korean is easy to
Try it honestly you will lovr it
I learned it in 2 weeks basic level
Wow! okay!
I I joyed to watch your hard working and learning deferent languages you know actually I'm from Afghanistan but I'm learning English on CZcams I have been using a very useful app can help to know deferent languages with deferent people around the world I'm figuring out their accent well and New words on their conversation it's very helpful I suggested it to you if would like download it.
I like your challenge and challenging ourselves is quite enjoyable and what we achieve a say a small achievement we feels good and satisfied ...
Many Greek letters are used in studies like delta , omega , alpha many more ... This language is quite useful
Thanks for the video ❤️❤️☺️
Absolutely!!
@@veronika_languagediaries you're so beautiful.................I love your all videos
I am Uzbek girl, who can fluently speak Russian and English also I'm learning Korean. When you said that Korean is hard I wondered why. Korean alphabet Hangeul is very easy and Korean grammar is logical😅 and understandable. It'd be much easier if you chose Korean 😊
Do one of the easy languages
I am from Iraq and I love you very very much I hope to meet you + your content is great do not leave it
Like Russian girls or just any white girls?
@@DanyloZorin Neither this nor that.... I love the character of this girl and I don't want to meet her for a bad reason... It's just admiration.
VERY NICE DEFINITION OF TIME...
Time is slow when you wait.
Time is fast when you are late.
Time is deadly when you are sad.
Time is short when you are happy.
Time is endless when you are in pain.
Time is long when you feel bored.
Every time, time is determined by your feelings and your psychological conditions and not by clocks, so have a nice time always.
Wow, amazing challenge! Do you recommend Cambly App? Do you know this app?
👏
I skipped to see her lesson with a teacher and was disappointed when it was fast-forwarded so we couldn't hear veronika attempt to speak. However as someone that is an English tutor on italki I'm very confident that she probably just said a couple of sentences in greek and she used English to ask her questions.
