Koliko ti je trebalo da naucis jedan jezik!!1 ili 2 godine!Moze li se sam nauciti jedan jezik bez ljudi sam kuci???na primer sa cd a???hvala

[Torbyrne]

@TheMartikaa Ja ne mogu reći koliko vremena je potrebno za mene naučiti jezik. Svaki jezik je drugačiji. Naučiti jezik kod kuće je moguće za svakoga, samo mora učiti redovito. Assimil je vrlo dobar kurs za to (poliglotta80 je primjer). Pozdrav! :)

thank you so much! i've been struggling with my desire to learn languages for a learn time.

may i just ask one question? do you think that it is more difficult if you are trying to learn more than one language at once. More specifically, do you think you should get to a certain level of proficiency before you attempt to move onto other languages?

My main problem is listening and comprehension so I find it hard to find resources for that!

@morpheus2902 Learning multiple languages at the same time does cut the amount of time down that you can dedicate to learning grammatical structures and vocabulary. It can also create problems with language crossover and interference. However, some people manage it quite well and has no or few problems at all. I say, go with what feels right and a system that allows you to make the progress you feel happy with. :) The most important thing is regular study. :)

Do you know any hebrew? thats a language I want to learn.. my father is from Israel

[Torbyrne]

@julhest I can speak some Hebrew, yes. It is a beautiful language! :)

@PalmyBruce Thank you for writing such a kind and encouraging comment to me. It is always nice to receive such lovely feedback on my videos.  it makes my work worthwhile to hear people find what I am putting on my channel a benefit to other language learners. :)

@EsteticUrban Russian has quite heavy grammar points. If you want to get the grammar right, then you will need to commit to memory the declinations for the cases. A good way of doing this is looking at the tables and doing exercises. When you feel you have mastered the basics, then move onto realia (magazines, books etc.) and look for the patterns in the language. The perfective and imperfective verbs are another thing to focus on in Slavic languages as getting them wrong changes meaning. :)

Are you a believer in learning two languages at the same time? Right now I'm learning French, but I also want to learn Spanish to be able to communicate with my family in Mexico.

YOU! Now you've trigged me at learning languages. You make me pissed off, jealous and very impressed. I assume that's a reaction you'd like, since you actually are inspiring me. I am Swedish and speak English and Icelandic and then Swedish fluently, but fuck this! I'm gonna learn Arabic and Russian now. See you in 20 years, I'll be kicking your polyglot ass! :)

Hi, Richard. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. I am in the process of learning Spanish, I've been taking Spanish since seventh grade and I am a Junior in high school now. I plan on moving to Florida after i graduate, and there is a lot of Latin American influence down there. I want to learn Spanish, and some others, to almost the point of fluency, as I am interested by languages. Do you have any tips for me specifically for Spanish?

Hallo Richard, ich schreib einfach mal auf Deutsch schließlich beherrschst du diese Sprache ebenfalls. Wie kann ich effektiv Vokabeln lernen? Für Spanisch habe ich noch mein Schulbuch, das ich durcharbeiten kann, aber was kann ich bei anderen Sprachen z.B.: Englisch, wo ich schon einen erweiterten Wortschatz habe, machen? Danke für deine Mühe

[RFT93]

wow great !

thank you for the links too!

Hola Richard, que talento y que dedicacion! Nos inspiras a disfrutar los idiomas :). Quisiera que me dieras un consejo: que recomiendas para superar el "language crossover and interference"? Hablo espanol, ingles y rumano y he aprendido italiano, noruego y aleman pero confundo mucho los idiomas que comparten su raiz (ej. italiano, rumano y espanol). Como le haces? Gracias! BTW, eres grande :)!
