Hi everybody. My name is Luca, I am a Roman boy (ah, Rome :-)). This channel is entirely dedicated to my biggest passion: languages. I've been learning languages for almost 20 years. In the last 2 I had some sort of revelation. I had always been acquiring languages without really wondering why what I did was so effective. I just did it. Then I started "cogitating", thinking, and I ended up looking for information on the "language learning" issue from a a scientific point of you. The more I read the more I figured out that only one conclusion is possible: languages cannot be taught, they can only be learned. Everything turns around the learner and his/her passion, drive. Once this point has been fully understood, the whole approach towards this issue changes dramatically and one understands why learning languages in a classroom is not very effective.That is why I decided to share not only my passion, but also to explain how to face the acquisition of a new language. With optimism and method. Passion and experience. Learning a new language takes time, but it is not difficult. That's my mission: make you understand that. And to all those who will tell you that "nah, the only useful language to learn is English, the rest is a waste of time", well, tell them that "who learns another language, acquires another soul"

Salve a tutti. Sono Luca, un ragazzo romano di quasi 30 anni. Questo canale è dedicato alla mia più grande passione, le lingue. Imparo lingue da quasi 20 anni e negli ultimi 2 ho avuto una specie di "rivelazione". Ho sempre imparato senza domandarmi troppo perché quello che facevo funzionava. Lo facevo e basta. Poi ho cominciato a riflettere e a cercare informazioni sull'apprendimento delle lingue da un punto di vista formale e scientifico. La conclusione è che le lingue non si insegnano. Si imparano. Una volta capito questo, tutto l'approccio cambia enormemente, e si capisce perché la maggior parte delle famose "classi di lingue" non funziona o attecchisce molto poco. Perciò ho deciso di condividere non solo la passione e le mie lingue in sé, ma anche il modo di affrontare lo studio. Con ottimismo e metodo. Con passione ed esperienza. Per imparare una nuova lingue ci vuole tempo, ma non è difficile. E la mia missione è far capire proprio questo. A tutti quelli che vi diranno che nella vita serve solo l'inglese, rispondete così "chi impara un'altra lingua, acquista un'altra anima"

「日本語を覚えた人の観点でどう英語を同じふうになれるの?」ってよく聞かれます。信じないかもしれないが、実は元々はNZで日本語の学生の時に日本語を科目として落としてしまいました。

Olá Luca!! Cómo estás? Eu sou Julio, o garato mexicano. Tudo bem? Só quería dizer-te que este é o meu novo canal em Youtube. A outra conta de julces já nao existe. Este canal também será dedicado as línguas, nossa grande paixao. Spero che ti piaccia che io sia un gran poliglotta come tu, Richard, Robert, Moses e tutti quelli. Voy a subir videos donde yo hable idiomas pero hasta que hable un idioma más de los seis que ya hablo. Yo hablaré de multiculturalismo, cosas mexicanas y algunas cosas de la vida. Espero sea un linda experiencia. Kind regards, my friend!! We keep in touch!! Ciao!
