learn a language with leslie 🇫🇮

Visual approach to learning Russian & Finnish. Easy! Fast! Fun! Free! Anytime! Anywhere!

Welcome to my YouTube channel. It's for monolingual people, former language dropouts, young students, mature-age learners, polyglots, and anyone who doubts that they can learn a foreign language. Change your thinking pattern. You can do it! All you need is curiosity, patience & persistence.

I went to a "languages school" in the 90s but I soon learned I totally sucked at languages. I was hopeless at French. The only two words I can remember learning there are "château" and "s'il vous plaît" (castle and please). I forgot all my German.

I even managed to fail English at highschool –scoring a lousy 47% overall– because I didn't read the prescribed books, preferring to study nerdy science subjects instead.

In 2005 I started learning Spanish (lived in the Canary Islands for 8 years). 
Now I mainly study Russian (❯ 4 years) and Finnish (❯ 2 years) from rural Australia.
