It is never too late to learn languages

Language learning is fun, good for the brain, and we can do it any time in our lives, here is a multilingual ramble on the joys of language learning. Something we can all do, especially today in the age of the Internet. The order of the languages is Russian, French, Mandarin, Japanese, Swedish, Spanish, Italian, German and Cantonese. I forgot Portuguese.

Замечательно говорите по-русски!

I watched your video "The Seven Secrets of Successful Language Learning". For me the most interesting way of learning language is chatting with friends and watching some video, in which speaking person has good, easy to understand pronunciation.For example, your video:)

Thank you!

@SmiOlga Thank you.

Russian!!! that's what i'm learning right now !

Je suis Française, vous êtes Québécois?

[lingosteve]

@metiube Cela dépend de la définition de Québécois. J'habite Vancouver, mais j'ai grandi à Montréal, anglophone dans un milieu anglophone.

[metiube]

@lingosteve D'accord, en tout cas vous avez un accent incroyablement français ! Oh et vancouver est une très belle ville!

[lingosteve]

@metiube Merci.

Ha un ottimo accento italiano. Io studio lingue a Siena ed effettivamente i migliori anglofoni a parlare italiano sono quelli provenienti dalla zona di Vancouver. Complimenti!

You're fantastic!! I'm 20, I'm Italian and I speak English, German, French and Spanish; now I'm learning Russian and Portuguese, und ich will viele andere Sprachen lernen! Votre accent français est formidable, come il tedesco d'altronde. Mi ha colpito molto che riesca a riprodurre così bene l'intonazione di molte lingue (almeno di quelle che capisco ;), credo che sia la parte più difficile per molti... Complimenti! Inoltre sembra una persona molto simpatica e alla mano! :)

Haha, ingen som förstår svenska, det är sant alltså :)

Switching from language to language is usually very hard, you have all my respect, sir !

[AshitaNoKanousei42]

Very encouraging. English-speaking societies should put more emphasis on language learning as part of the general education requirements.  I just started learning languages a few years ago and I went in thinking it would be hopeless to get even proficient in a few beyond basic phrases, but in about three years I became conversational in five new languages and basic in four or five others.

Hi Steve. I just want to say that I am so amazed by the authencity of your Mandarin accent.

Greetings from Ontario~

Det hade varit roligt om du pratade lite mer svenska! Vi må vara få på jorden, men många uppskattar hur svenskan låter iallafall. Själv har jag varit förtjust i hur koreanska låter, och jag hade bestämt mig för att lära mig språket. Men nu ska jag lära mig kinesiska (mandarin) först, eftersom jag har en kinesisk flickvän. Det är väldigt roligt, och dina videos är också inspirerande.
