[jhamien920]

You are so great dude! Nice tuts.

[alldsiupdates]

I can only speak english and french, and other 5 languages!!!!

[tartansoxdundas]

Thanks for your message yesterday, Steve. I still have to say, though, that while I agree and advocate so many of your beliefs, esp. in terms of methodology and effective means of enabling linguistic proficiency within teaching, the techniques which each of us uses to self-teach multiple languages are not entirely similar. Could I possibly ask for your permission to draw a comparison between what I think are yours, mine and other approaches to hyperpolyglottery here on YouTube?

[lingosteve]

I look forward to seeing it.

[MrConfusingable]

You are awesome.

[bigballa269]

Your effin insane steve!!

As a Spanish-Speaking American i can say your Spanish is Awesome!

[JoohyunCha]

[behonest69]

[zocurtis]

Goon.

[ZERGSTOERER]

ich kann auch deutsch sprechen

[jancom777]

Try learning Norwegian, dude... Or Danish... They're both VERY difficult to get straight. Especially the grammar.

[blindside70]

Norwegian Danish compared to Russian grammar? ha!

[jancom777]

Try learning the Danish numbers... Just try,

[blindside70]

It doesn't look too bad... In languages like Russian or Polish or Czech I don't think you realize that there are 6-7 ways to say each number according to case. Does that really compare to a number system that's just based on 20?

[ALEXtheEntertainer]

SWEDISH: SVENSKA!!! du äger!!!

[17yearoldkid]

a la chingada i am having an orgasm

[michaeljohns78]

[michaeljohns78]

teach me swedish please!!!

[hkobb7]

You know, that's the problem that I have with the majority of language learning programs, including our school's. However, we have began an exodus of some sorts into a hybrid of your type of method (even though we do have classes and vocabulary lists) and the "old-fashioned" type. I do think, however that the old form has a certain structure that a middle and high school curriculum demands. Anyway, just my thoughts.

Oh, and congratgulations on learning 10 languages. Incredible.

[mattyman224]

how long do u think it wuld take 2 fully learn 1 language and speak it fluently

[Kittymutt]

You are amazing!

[linusret]

I totally agree with you on how to best learn a new language. And it's always nice to hear someone learning swedish since so few people (well at least compared to the "big" languages) speak it.

[teddythefrency]

My first challenge is to learn the languages of the twinned towns of my city (I know some of them more or less fluently or just a little): english, welsh, spanish, portuguese,italian, german, chinese(mandarin) and japanese and dialects.

Les langues c'est formidable, vous voyagez sans vous déplacer et lorsque vous le faites et rencontrez votre premier locuteur "étranger" vous êtes tout surpris de constater qu'il vous comprends et content de vous aider.

[BMtodaP]

Everything you said is so true! I've been learning languages as a hobby for about 7 years and my methodology constantly improves. After 7 years I find that simply listening and reading regularly, without lessons, grammar rules or vocabulary lists, is the best way so far.

[KleaVizion]

HAHAAH.. I caught 'mas o menos'.. which was more or less the only part I understood that wasn't in English :|

[cheesepuffs185]

Wonderful advice. I must say this has really proved true for me. All throughout elementary and middle school Spanish was the only foreign language offered, and we were required to take the class. The curriculum however, followed the rigorous grammar routines often found in formal language classes, and had us translating random Spanish sentences. It also seemed like they were only teaching us phrases we could use to "get by" in Mexico or the like.

(Continues Below)

[cheesepuffs185]

However, after moving to high school I enrolled in the Latin course where our textbook, Ecce Romani, took an entirely different course. The text is basically a storybook, where each "lesson" is a chapter of the book. While the stories are not the most engaging thing I have run across, I find it much more effective as a learning method and an entertaining one to boot. Right now I am looking to learn Chinese, and hope I can find a curriculum parallel to the one used in Ecce Romani.

Although it's impressive your abilities, Lingq doesn't seem to be any different. Free is not necessarily true, since you are limited in your learning unless you buy the ability to work with more content. You can't rule out any learning methods. Ultimately, the best method for any one person should be determined through their own experience.

[Gunner1]

Very good advice.

[languagenow]

I appreciate your perspectives, nice video.

[pandake150]

have you ever tried to learn Dutch? ^^

people say it's a difficult language to learn

I wouldn't know if it really is, since it's my native language ^^

Anyways, you're right about the learning grammer and such... I learned French and English at school that way + I heared a lot of English on the telly and in music

result is that my French isn't that well and English is more like a real second language to me ..... eventhough I had a lot more lessons in French

[anandaflima]

Amazing! Congratulations on your language abilities!

[HaistakaaJoVittu]

You should learn finnish lang. Finland is really kewl =)

[Nikolette11]

Is it really hard?

[mWipple]

Yeah, I'm just about to get into Finnish. Wanting to get in touch with my roots.

[kninametalhead]

@HaistakaaJoVittu Yeah! :))))) I would love if, someday, Finnish, Hungarian, my native language Serbian (but I think it's impossible :/), could be available for learning on Lingq.com! :)

[Nikolette11]

Wow, I really envy you. I hope someday I can speak that many languages.

[chrispymage]

word me to that would be hot

[lingosteve]

I keep a lot of books and especially audio books around in these languages and regularly listen and read. I look for opportunities to use them. I get rusty but they come back stronger than ever after a little use.

[rikj0nter]
