Why YOU Should Learn a New Language This Year
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2019
- New year new language! There's a lot of great reasons to learn a new language this year, so why not? I am absolutely loving my RUclips channel atm by the way. Even this video which is just on a topic I enjoy (learning languages) was such a joy to edit. Adding extra text flairs and things is just so fun and I'm enjoying what I make so much more than ever before. I hope you'll take up my challenge and learn a new language with me this year! It's free, and there's literally no downside. Let's learn! :D

If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

Pros:
Learn a new language
Cons:
Learning
I want to like it, but it's on 69 likes and I don't want to destroy that
now its on 96 😵🤔
Honestly once you start learning and you have good methods, you quickly realize it's not a con at all. Learning process can be extremely fun, you can meet many interesting people who want to learn the language too, and it really doesn't look like a ton of homework and few hours of memorizing words everyday.
@@husarzwadca8610 not going to learn anything im already to overwhelmed with schoolwork so i dont think i need the extra presure xd
I see no cons. I love learning 😊
"Welcome to hard mode superfluous rhododendron" bahahahhaha
2 words that I assume are only understood immediately by 100% fluent people haha
@@evan it was just a pointless, flowery thing to say
Maggie that was beautiful
@@evan thanks, now I'm proud of myself because I'm German and I understood it. :)
I only get superfluous, I'm learning English and this channel helps me to listen, also because it didn't have music in the background and I'm so grateful for that
You inspired me with your German doulingo video to learn Spanish so I started last year and all ready have an 83 day streak!
Same. I have a 63 day streak
I'm on a 294 day streak. I monitor a club where one guy has a +1500 streak, a 487 streak, and some others with insane streaks. I go in every Saturday and remove any inactive people, because I'm not wasting space in people who don't try.
I cant be so constant in duolingo but i wish i could. But i try to practice every week at least for 3 or 4 days straight. But as usual i fail hehe. So i ll say this in spanish to you : felicitaciones son lo más!(that means that : "you are the bests!")
Sí, yo hablo español a.
Ich bin eine frau I'm not actually just trying to learn more German
IM LEARNING GERMAN THIS YEAR AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME
SAME !!!!!!
Good luck😊 It's very difficult, but I think you will learn it.
I am learning German too! My duolingo account is menucha (friend me if you’d like!)
i went ahead and made a German club so we can all learn together!! the code is D949A6 and the name of it is “danke schein Evan”
Ich bin ne deutsche ;-; hay
Yes Evan, you speak very fast but I understand everything perfectly, It is because of your videos that I improved a lot my English.
I started watching your videos because as a language student I wanted to practice my listening skills, and at the beginning, I didn't understand a word of what you were saying but now you're one of my fav youtubers.
I loved those videos in which you made cultural contrasts and talked about your country and the UK. I learned a lot of vocabulary.
You're awesome.
PD: sería genial si aprendieras español. Tenemos memes buenísimos jaja
Es verdad tenemos memes geniales !!!!
I was searching for improving my listening skills
And this is perfect match 😊
Same
Thank you for the motivation and great advice, you’ve inspired so many to get into learning languages and I can’t thank you enough for allowing me to find a great new hobby! 😁
Also gonna be twitch streaming tonight from 9:15pm-midnight so stop on by and hang out later! twitch.tv/EvanEdinger
i know english, french, and i'm in my 5th year of spanish at school, i've been learning german on and off for a year and i'm starting to learn sign language. yikesss it's a lot
LODisamazing i’m so proud of you! you’re amazing keep slaying love♥️
@@SashaStar2301 thanks!! :)
LODisamazing wow knowing/learning so many different languages must get a bit confusing at times I hope everything is going well also I'm learning sign language as well specifically ASL so it's nice to see someone else interested in signing 😊
weird flex but ok
nice job
Well, sign language…that's a lot, I mean okay, German dialect (mostly incomprehensible to normal German speakers), German, 9.5 years of studying English, 7.5 years of learning French, 5.5 years of studying Latin and some comprehension (and just being too shy to speak) in Dutch isn't easy, but learning a new way of speaking? Yikes.
Über eine Fremdsprache Spanisch zu lernen habe ich auch gemacht, nur dass Englisch für mich die Fremdsprache ist. Es ist super interessant, wie die Sprachen zusammenhängen und wie man sich manche Worte herleitet!
Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass ein deutscher Kommentar so weit oben ist
Big problem for English people trying to learn German . I try to speak German . YOU Reply in perfect ENGLISH !
@@jufil8532 war mir nicht mal bewusst, hätte ich aber auch nicht gedacht 😃 aber möglicherweise hat er vermutlich inzwischen auch eine wachsende deutsche Fanbase 🤔
@@anthonykeaveny8860 yeah, I get that, German really is a very hard language to learn! And we start learning English very early on, I started when I was 8 or 9 (actually helpful classes when I was 11 😃)
I was meaning to learn Icelandic for the sake of learning it. It might be not as big compared to spanish or korean but its something that I’m sorta interested in. This vid sorta reminded me about this plan that I wanted to do this year
Eri // Cutiejea that’s the same with me but I’m wanting to learn Russian. Я не хорошо.
I saw this video and remembered I wanted to learn Norwegian , just downloaded duolingo !
Ell I’ve been learning norwegian too!! Its such a fun language haha
Ell stick to it! I’ve also been using duolingo to learn Norwegian, and just crossed 400 days this week 😎 btw you’re going to want to give up at some point (many people get that after the first month). Don’t!
Curios Norwegian peeping her head in, why did you decide to learn Norwegian?
Du kan gjøre det!
@@girv98 "Du kan klare det!" would be more accurate in this case.
so glad to see this video pop up in my subscriptions! love the motivation. am trying to teach myself korean this year and also brushing up on my spanish. it's difficult but just gotta remember that if we keep at it, we'll be so good by this time next year!
You could try watching German RUclipsrs :D That's my "listening comprehension exercise" for English and Spanish.
omg I'm actually so excited! you're my language learning queen, evan :D this year I'll try to keep up my spanish and also add french and russian wish me luck ... love love love, a german native speaker :)
good luck with your language studies!!
i was gonna say learn german, it is so beautiful and underrated, but then read you are a native speaker, so...😂
And I think your English is great too!
Good luck! 🍀 You’ve got this!!
Oh my god pray for you trying to learn Russian. Me as a "native" speaker I think it’s super hard. The grammar is just hella complicated I forgot almost all of it. Like my German and English are waayyyy better.
I just found out I passed my CAE (C1) exams! In my country we learn 3 obligated languages plus our own language (dutch). I'm so happy with my ability to speak, write, read and understand english, because it has opened a whole new world for me (youtube). I also learn German (b2) and French (A2, I'm not good at it). I encourage everyone to try another language! You will not be disappointed haha.
Edit: also learning how to translate Latin has helped me so much with the German cases (I know they can be extremely confusing if your language doesn't have them)
are you from belgium
not a youtuber I'm pretty sure she's said she's Dutch. So the Netherlands
@@lumity3514 nope, the Netherlands :)
I speak the same languages as you, except my german is B2/C1, my French is C1 and my Dutch is A1. Viel Glück mit diese Sprache!!
@@rowan8067 je leert Nederlands?
Ok but how crazy is it that i just redownloaded Duolingo so i could pick back up learn Spanish and Norwegian??? I really want to learn like. all the languages. Lol
Same! Being a picked-up hyperpolyglot seems really cool.
I'd recommend sticking with one rather than doing multiple at a time. Don't wanna burn out! But that's just me
As a Norwegian myself I find it super fascinating that people want to learn the language!~ So fun!~ Out of interest, do you have any reason that you’d like to learn it? (Other than fun I mean!)
Currently learning Japanese myself, but mostly for fun and as I’m a massive weeb it works well! cx It’s a rather slow but interesting journey!~
It really is so hard to pick!! For Spanish I’ve started using Drops as well, you get five minutes twice a day or so and if you have a steak you get up to five extra minutes a day! I’ve got a 455 day streak on Duolingo but there are so many nouns I don’t know, and Drops is good for that. It doesn’t do structure or grammar so not a lot of verbs. I’d love a sister app called Splatters for verbs, because of the conjugation, lols. But the look of it is nice and it’s just enough gamification to be great motivation. I want those extra minutes for free, dang it!
Good luck on getting back into the swing of it!
Hello Evan, do you have a personal relationship with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? The Son of God. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. - Romans 10:9. And please ask the Lord Jesus to bless you with wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and discernment. And please ask the Lord Jesus to forgive you for all of your sins and transgressions.
I love that you love to learn languages so much! I wish I had the same talent for learning them!
It's not a talent, it's commitment. You can do it, too!
Talent doesn't exist, with hard work everything is possible . You can do it!
Evan, you are an amazing youtuber who should have way more subscribers!
I love your username and profile picture
Omg i love how your learning Spanish, I’m so exited for you (I’m learning it to, as a second language too)
Hello. New subscriber here. I am enjoying your videos.
I am on day 298 of my DL Spanish course and doing very well.
I worked as an Immigration Inspector in Laredo from 1997 -2004. The Spanish I learned was good for basic interviews and issuing visitor permits.
I regretted not improving my ability to speak and comprehend Spanish for many years. So last year I began with reviewing my text books and watching basic and intermediate RUclips videos.
Just prior to the new year (2019) I started with Duolingo. I decided to not test out at all. I did not want to skip any lessons and figured the repetition was what I truly needed to absorb and retain the information.
I studied French for a year and a half in high school. It has helped some during my eight years overseas.
However, seven of those years were in Germany where I received a Certificate of German Studies from the University of Maryland, European Division.
I was able to become highly conversational in German prior to returning to the US in 1988. Unfortunately, I have not retained much of that ability.
I plan to start using Duolingo German soon. I will probably do French first though.
There are many Haitians here in South Florida and many speak regular French also.
I am retired and may travel overseas again to improve my language abilities as you have.
I just wanted to introduce myself to a fellow lover of languages.
Best wishes. Jim Regan.
i know both english and french and when people make funny jokes like "Don't eat the french fish, it's Poisson." I can go HAHah, ayyyye.
As a German who had to learn both english and french in school, I'd like to thank you for that pun. I hadn't heard that one before. :)
About a year ago, i hadn't the slighest idea of what u were saying. in fact, i even considered unsubscribing bc i was so frustrated, ( _thats the worst mistake beginners make they want success overnight and try something way too difficult for their levels_ ) and i was like nope, *thats ok* though, im not gonna give
up not now that ive come this far, he seems like an eloquent speaker and im gonna keep persevering, and im glad i did. ahaha today im able to understand u perfectly, though i still struggle a lot with 'phrasal verbs', u can replace them with single words but sometimes u want to sound a little informal and more natural in conversations and some pv do the job incredibly well. Anyway, i decided to keep watching your videos until i get 100% of what whatever u were talking about, and happy end, i succeeded🎊🎉🎉
I think
Congrats! Honestly I speak super quick and also use a lot of colloquialisms in normal speech so you must be super fluent now
Learning a new language is so much fun! I'm currently in my fourth year of French at my high school and I love it. I got the opportunity to go to France with my French teacher last year, where I learned so much about the culture and got to put my language skills out there. Now I also get to to to Quebec this summer and practice even more. Learning another language makes going to places that speak it so so much fun. It also makes it so interesting to learn the culture. When I go to college next year I'll be taking Latin and ancient Greek as well so I can read ancient texts in their original languages (I'm majoring in Classics).
For anyone looking to learn a new language, I recommend watching movies or listening to music in it. Watch a movie you know well and turn on French subtitles or audio. Read a book you know well in the new language. It's so much fun!
I'm on 302 days Spanish streak on Duolingo after watching your video about 302 days ago :D
Good luck Spanish is a Bitch to learn
Sincerely, a native Spanish speaker
Sorry but as a native spanish speaker i m agree with camila and i ll say : el español si es una puta.because if you go to Argentina (my country) we have diferent meanings for certain words if you travel for spain they have other meanings and if you go to chile or to peru or venezuela or mexico etc you have to learn the spanish slang from every country and every town city province or state....so if you go to all the spanish speaking countrys you will have to learn all the spanish language again realy as i, i mean , we know what we are saying we are native speakers (camila and i =we)
Emilia Lavarello sos Argentina? Jajaj soy Uruguaya, but you're 100% right slang is very specific not only to the country but to the area as well
@@cam-tw8eq sip jajaj me encantaría conocer uruguay pero you know the economic situation hahahaha 😄
So about 10 months. More or less?
Hearing about duolingo actually inspired me to see what I can do with Welsh! I am a non-Welsh speaking Welsh person, but I did do it in school and I do still understand bits and pieces. It's a really fun interesting app so far 😊
theprincessed
me too!
I am currently taking a Spanish course in uni, trying to keep up with my French, and am trying to learn basic Italian for a class trip. I look at an object or I think of a task, and think “Can I say this in Spanish, French, and Italian?” And if I can’t, I look it up. After a while, it helps me integrate the language into my daily life outside of my daily studying.
Love this. I’ve been trying to learn Spanish on and off for what seems forever. This year I made it one of my New Year’s resolutions.
YOUR ENERGY IS SO CONTAGIOUS LOVE IT
I grew up Bilingual with English and Spanish (my mother is Spanish), I had to learn German in school, this was at the point when I realised languages are really fun, I soon picked up French, Latin, Italian and Norwegian. I’d highly recommend learning a new language, it’s honestly one of the most fun things I’ve ever done.
Dr. Santiago how do you like Latin? I’m doing Latin too for GCSEs and I enjoy it a lot
I feel like you Native English speakers have such an advantage - because for the rest of us, English is our second language, but since everyone speaks English, it's almost like it doesn't count, and learning a third language is much harder than learning the second, purely because the first one already takes up so much space in my brain, at least for me....and nobody will ever care that I speak Czech - because that's the thing about 'one country languages' - they're just not that practical outside of that country :/
What country s is that language?
I guess I don't know about other people but I find those kind of languages so much cooler because it is so rare to see outside of that country. It's unique!
I disagree. It is to our advantage needing to learn a new language, as it prompts us to train our brain. That in itself should create a superiority in intelligence. Besides, have you read this report:
www.bbc.com/capital/story/20161028-native-english-speakers-are-the-worlds-worst-communicators
The process of learning a language would prompt us to think differently, train logic and therefore use language (even our native) more effectively. I think it is also a good way to train one to be able to see in other people's shoe, and therefore become more open-minded
Yeah, but on the bright side, you and your fellow natives have a brilliant code for when you’re stuck among idiots that don’t have Czech. I’ve never used more Irish than in England.
as a language student i totally disagree!! so many teenagers in the western world who don’t have English as their first language are billingual, they can fluently communicate in two languages at a young age
this makes them smarter and they form connections between words and think about language aspects without even being aware of it
it will actually make learning a third language easier because you’ve got an extra language to compare the new language with, and for that reason it is even more useful if your native language, as in your case, isn’t a Germanic language like English
without being aware of it you know a whole lot about languages than someone who only speaks English
you learned English easily because it’s everywhere around you, mainly on the internet, and that might motivate you to learn languages, at least that’s what it did for me
you might think that these two languages are taking up precious brain capacity but really you got plenty of brain capacity, like i said knowing English would only help you with learning new languages
to close this off i want to say that Czech is not a useless language, every language is special and interesting in it’s own way, there are still millions of people speaking it and knowing this language can be vert beneficial just because of the fact that there aren’t that many speakers of it compared to way bigger languages
my native language is Dutch, i can also have basic convos in French and i speak English fluently, i study German and Polish at university, i’m fluent in German but barely at an intermediate level for Polish
but once i know Polish i want to continue on learning Czech
because the language sounds beautiful to me, because it’s similar to Polish, because i like the Czech culture better than the Polish one and because i absolutely love Prague
so there you have it, why i disagree
Yes, yes and yes! What you said about learning languages improves your English is 100% true, studying languages has taught me so much about grammar that I was never taught in school. Plus, once you learn one new language, it can make it a lot easier to learn other similar languages as you have that base knowledge! I’m also learning Spanish (I’m doing a masters in translation with French and German and I love the fact I get to learn a third language at uni for) love these language-themed videos! 🇪🇸
yessss, looking forwards to the videos in Spanish. Your Duolingo video a while back helped inspire me to start learning some Spanish; I better get back to it!
Only learning a new language for the memes? That is the best reason I have ever heard! Also, great video man!
The german memes are...
Creppy and cool ;-;
i speak finnish and english fluently and im studying swedish as a core subject lol. i've also studied spanish but that double processing confused me too much and made me mix swedish and spanish in sentences so i quit it. swedish is alot more motivating to me. I have slight learning disabilities so that also plays into my motivation to study. it's really cool to know spanish on a base level though because i can recognise spanish words in songs and have that 'ooh i know what that means', it's a very rewarding feeling.
I’m learning Spanish too! It’s such a great language to learn, plus there’s so much culture to learn about which is so interesting! Buena suerte :)
Hey I just wanted to let you know that I genuinely enjoy your videos, I love how theyre different each week and I'm able to connect with it each time
I just lost a 75 day French streak and now I've lost all motivation :(((
CaeciliusEstInHorto the same thing happened to me, except my streak was only 30 days. :(
Use your lost streak as motivation to have a new streak that lasts even longer!
don’t forget that even if you lost the streak you maintain the skill!! you learned french and that’s the important thing. bon courage mon ami!
RIP why didn't you get a streak freeze!
Keep going. You'll realise slowly streaks come and go but as long as you know that you're making consistent progress, you're winning.
For anyone who is currently in school and reading this: if you are going to take a Spanish course, be careful of who your teacher is. My first Spanish teacher was absolutely amazing, she cared about the subject, and she cared about us. My current Spanish 2 teacher is the exact opposite. She is ruining the language for me which sucks because its a useful thing to know. Not quite sure what the point of this comment is but I thought I should put my 2 cents in.
Brooke Mckeever i literally had the same thing. i took 4 courses of spanish and my 1st course teacher was amazing but my teacher for the three other courses was really strict
and unmotivating
Hey im a native spanish speaker and i had the same thing when i was in well all my school life was like your second teacher i did a few intresting things that make me verry interested in doing them but the english language was in all the songs i liked and almost all the countrys where my ancestors came from so i decide i wanted to learn it by watching films or reading articles and talking with my mum etc . You have to make a decition and try to learn the lenguage by your own way like watching videos or films or maybe learning about all the countrys that speak the lenguage you can start with peru or colombia or uruguay or my homeland Argentina you could watch dustinluke he is an american that loves argentinian culture or you could watch Zach morris he is an american that loves colombian culture. And if you want to improve your spanish yo must talk to a native speaker and that you could achive by traveling or like i am doing naw ...watching english speaker youtubers.
Or really any language your high school offers.
Ich liebe deine videos!! I found your channel the other day and you are so captivating to watch! I am an American learning German as well and it's very fun for me to see your journey because it is mirroring my experience in many ways. I'm not nearly as far along as you and I've never been to Germany (Oktoberfest is definitely a bucket list experience of mine), but I'm ancestrally German and it's interesting and it just sounds cool and like "my" language. The last native speaker in my family was my grandfather and he's no longer with us, so it helps me feel close to him too. It's like a puzzle to me that I enjoy figuring out and then I practice talking to myself all day in German like a foreign lunatic. I don't know any speakers, but it's only been a couple months and I live near two German towns that I have yet to visit with my new skills. Your videos have been giving me a lot to look forward to!! 2019 is already exciting! Veilen dank!
I absolutely love to watch you talking about a thing I love! Hope I can improve my English and some Latin this year :)
just signed up for my classes for this semester and added chinese 1 along with my eng/fr!
This video has made me consider restarting Duolingo haha very inspiring!
I watch all your videos about languages and I use it to improve my listen. I gotta say that sometimes I don't understand nothing that you say lol, but when I do I fell fucking great. Keep making videos about languages.
Greats from Brazil
just seeing the title inspired me - thanks evan, this was the push i needed :)
I've been learning Norwegian for about 6 months now and I can honestly say it's one of the best things I've done.
thats amazing!
Hola Evan, me gustaria hablar Espanol con tu en 2020. En 2019, voy a estudiar mucho Espanol para GCSEs. Creo que Espanol es muy util porque mucha gente habla Espanol asi que es bueno que vas a hablar Espanol. Buena suerte con Espanol.
Adios.
Yo hablo español te puedo ayudar con español todo sea por español si tú hablas ingles también ayúdame pero para hablar porque ya se gramática y todo y yo con español para que te mejores en español porque español es español xd
¡Hola! Estudio Español en escuela para mi idioma para GCSEs también. Español es muy útil, pero prefiero griego. ¿Es se profesor de español bueno? Mi profesora está bien.
You made this video a couple days before i made my new years resolution to learn and become fluent in a language by the end of 2019 remind us to continue learning. Lol to keep us motivated .
Me trying to improve my english skills, has been the reason why I initially started watching your videos :D
und Grüße aus Deutschland !
"Over 75% of Americans don't speak any other language" and here I am, a mere EU citizen, having learned at least 2 (aka 4 in my case) foreign languages in school because that's what the EU requires. I learned English, Latin, French and Spanish in school (and I am German, so I speak that as well). My English is great, my Spanish is okay (need to practice it more) but I lost pretty much all of my French, I have also learned some German Sign Language in a course I took and am now doing Korean on Duolingo, so we'll see how that goes. I just think it's a very privileged way of thinking to think you don't need to learn anything else because you already speak English.
Blood, Sweat and Smeraldo Flowers that’s why i’m learning italian haha, i hate being seen as a dumb australian because i only know english. i feel like people respect you more if u know more than one language which is weird lol
It’s surprising to me that Americans don’t learn languages that often in schools. Over the years in school I’ve learnt french, Spanish, German, Latin, Russian and British sign language (not many to fluency though). The other thing that annoys me is when Americans think everyone should speak their language but don’t try learning one themselves.
Laurel K Yeah, I was in a tiny town in the southern US, and we only had Spanish and French as options. People took the bare minimum to meet the standards to pass, two semesters for us, and then promptly forgot it. Most citizens in the US don’t ever leave the US so they don’t think it’s needed. I’m a writer and like the idea of being able to understand and exchange ideas with people I’d not be able to otherwise. I’m working on Spanish and have been for two years. I may add Italian or French next. I’d like to add German and Russian (I took Russian intensively as a little tiny girl, lol, so maybe I hope it’ll help me some) and Arabic. I’d love to learn Mandarin, but I’m really intimidated. So I think I’ll be leveling up, lol. Level II languages first before the harder stuff!
I do wish schools focused more on this, because it helps develop the brain in a way it isn’t otherwise, but a lot of stuff is being dropped from schools, any kind of art and music is gone in many areas, even sports are disappearing in some places. I guess they think since most of the kids will probably never leave the US anyway and grades are dropping, let’s just plug away at that math more. It’s a shame, but a testament to how our schools are fairing overall I think.
@@rowan8067 that's just arrogant, I mean, the excuse, that you're never gonna need it because you don't even own a passport (as many 'murricans do) and any visitor should know your language might be kind of valid, but if you demand it in any region that doesn't speak english as a people, you're just ignorant.
I am fluent in English but i have been taking Spanish since i was in 2nd grade (I am a freshman in high school) and I took Latin all three years in middle school an i would say if you are looking for and easier language take Latin it has so many roots in not only just english but in spansh and in many other laugages now i am sure everyone reading this comment is saying that latin is a dead lauange and you are right but by learing latin it will help you understand english so much more. For example the english word verbatim means word for word but the latin root word is verbum which means "to talk" and it is not just fancy words that no one ever uses but normal words like terrarium has the latin root terra which means earth. So it can be useful in your everyday life.
0:19 your videos are actually great to practice english! It is kind of a challenge, I like it.
I love it when Evan does passionate videos 😁
Duolingo is a good resource for beginners in Spanish but I’ve completed the entirety of the course twice through the years that I’ve been learning Spanish. It will only get you so far
I'm about to start Spanish on dualingo!
@@lincolnclay8261 how did it go
war das gedicht Der Erlkönig? “Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind...”
Yes! That’s the one!
Ja
Dankeschön für das Video! Es war sehr lustig (besonders die Stelle mit dem Frühstück 😁). Ich bin Deutsche und versuche schon seit über 10 Jahren mein Englisch, welches ich mir in den USA erarbeitet habe, zu halten. Vor kurzem habe ich angefangen mit Duolingo japanisch zu lernen und war besorgt, dass wenn ich mit einer 3. Sprache beginne, die 2. darunter leidet. Weil Duolingo noch keinen deutsch-japanisch Kurs hat, lerne ich es jetzt auf Englischgrundlage. Ich habe jetzt Hoffnung durch deinen Rat. Vielen Dank dafür!
I love that you’re so passionate about getting people to learn languages. I’d recommend learning Latin: there’s even more declensions than German, and the grammar is reasonably challenging, but I’ve found that I engage with European languages so much more because of their root in Latin and vice versa - I so often find myself using my comprehension of Spanish, French and English to understand it) (Also rewatching/rereading Harry Potter is just hilarious as Rowling has created a very unique version of Latin mixed in with a little French). Also side note: you’ll use Zauberstab if you ever have kids and read them fairytales (my favourite book growing up was Dornröschen and it’s one of the few German words I know (surprisingly))
Evan: I speak very fast.
Me: *watching this at 2x speed*
I've been learning french for the past three-four months! using duolingo ofc
To try and learn Spanish (or at least the basics) is my new years resolution too! I'm going to Chile this August for a gap year to teach and while knowing Spanish isn't compulsory I want to learn a new language and pick new things up as I'm living there :))
Evan! I’ve always been very interested in German but since people always talk bad about it I never considered really trying to learn it. However, hearing that you were learning it inspired me! I completed a good portion of my German tree on Duolingo and I decided to take German as my foreign language for university (I’m starting this fall!). I was planning on waiting until the summer to really start studying it again (as I’ve fallen off with having a busy life), but this video made me rethink that and I want to try to start now instead, even if I may not be able to go in too deep with my other classes. Thanks for making videos like this! I didn’t know how beneficial knowing multiple languages is until I started learning German and researching it. I hope your journey with Spanish goes well :)
Anyone watching this in 2020?
2020 vision
not yet, I hope
Yes
Bienvenido al mundo de uno de los lenguajes más hermosos en el mundo, el español. Te deseo toda la suerte en el mundo.
Now I just got my motivation back. Thanks for that ^-^
Ich finde es super inspirierend, dass du so viele neue Sprachen lernst Evan! Ich spreche neben Deutsch noch Englisch (tatsächlich auch sehr gut, ich studiere in Englisch) und hatte auch Spanisch in der Schule. Das konnte ich aber nie wirklich gut und habe es nach einem Jahr abgewählt 🙈
Liebe Grüße aus Nordrhein-Westfalen ;)
I've been learning both Spanish and Chinese the last few years so I can communicate with as many people around the world as possible. Plus I know when people are talking **** haha
I've learned more on Duolingo than in German class........that's just sad.
I learn more english with english videos than my english class ;-; und hay bin eine deutsche ;-;
I followed you on DuoLingo because you really inspired me to make much more of an effort to try to keep the flame lit!
This has given me a new idea for my language learning! Currently I'm learning French and German so the idea of connecting them would be helpful. Thanks!
I learnt French all through high school, I’m not completely fluent yet but fairly close and I just started learning Korean because I want it to be my major in uni and I’m starting this year. Therefore I understood the french pun and cringed out loud 😂
I really like using Duolingo, but I wish someday there is a chance to choose finnish as a first language. It would be much easier when you don't need to translate everything to english at first. I mean it's hard enough trying to learn a new language :D
Marikaj yeah same in denmark, but i guess you get better at two languages at the same time 😅 but yeah still pretty confusing
@@Sara-uq6km it's difficult for me too cause some words I'm learning I never knew the German word so I have to look that up too
That's also true! But sometimes it just gets really confusing :D Finnish is so different compared to english or swedish that it makes my brain hurt when trying to translate everything :'D
moi! kiva kuulla, että joku opiskelee suomea, vaikka se onkin aika vaikeaa! what is your native language btw?
@ muse attack if you meant me I'm finnish, I'm studying swedish and also german but I use duolingo in english.
I actually just restarted learning German on duolingo! I'm super enjoying it so far! I also really like how you're wearing your duolingo shirt!
Hooray I can follow everything you're saying even at top speed at the end, I swear my English listening improves every time you upload a video ;)
I already know 2 languages:
English and American
In Deutsch ist es nicht so üblich "zwanzig neunzehn" zu sagen wie in Englisch. Ich würde sagen man sagt eher "zweitausendneunzehn" (obwohl beides okay ist). Meiner Meinung nach ein interessanter Unterschied, denn es scheint in Englisch andersrum zu sein
Blood, Sweat and Smeraldo Flowers in Niederländisch kann man ja nicht “zwanzig neunzehn” sagen, wir sagen immer “zweitausendneunzehn”
ich dachte, dass war eine gute Bemerkung um hieran zuzufügen
(i hope there weren’t any mistakes in that but i bet there were)
Auch wenn man ‚1987‘ sagt‘, muss man sagen ‚neunzehn hundert sieben und achtzig‘. Deutch ist zu hart für mich!!
oooh army vibes unter jeeedem video😉
@@rowan8067 you could just say 'sieben und achzig' because it was in the last century and everyone will understand what you mean.
In deutsch...
Deutschland ;-;
So cool! Machst du super. Ich spreche Schweizerdeutsch, Deutsch, Französisch und Englisch. Ich lerne seit letztem Jahr wieder Koreanisch und möchte mich wirklich darauf konzentrieren besser zu werden in diesem Jahr. Ich wünsch dir viel Glück und Erfolg beim Spanisch lernen ^____^
you’ve definitely inspired me to try and learn a new language. I have portuguese friends and it would be quite impressive know the language. I’ve been on duolingo for two days and I’m actually having fun. dutch is my native language, I know english pretty well and now I’m going to be learning portuguese. just like you, I decided to not take the course in dutch to portuguese (bc im dutch) but from english to portuguese so I make my english even stronger. thanks for the inspo, great vid as always :)
“Very tight butts”-Evan Edinger 2019
Im trilingual, what language do you think in becouse im 13 and change between english ,WELSH and french Love the vids keep it up
Banana Biscuits 73 if you don’t live in Wales your insane. Because oh.my.god is that language hard
@@ricochet4674 i do live in wales
If you want a fairly easy one, try Swahili, Dutch, Indonesian or Esperanto. If you want one that’s more challenging I’ve heard that German is easier for welsh speakers. However it takes a long time to learn. If you want to try something with a different alphabet you could try Japanese or Russian, however with Japanese there are lots of characters to learn and Russian grammar is HARD. Have a look through duolingo and see what interests you. Also if there’s something that’s connected to a language that you’re interested in (like a book or type of music) then try learning that language. About 8 years ago I started learning German to read les miserables in its original language (I’m about halfway through now) and now I speak fluent French. One day I might learn Korean to understand k pop lyrics. Languages can be a personal choice, and it often helps to find the language that’s spoken somewhere you want to go. Keep me updated if you choose one, and viel Glück (good luck in German)
I've been having English classes or classes in English since I was 2 so I can say I understand it and use it.
It sounds perfect because since you're that young it is way easier to learn the language because you're also learning a lot of your native language and you can connect them easily. The only problem I had was that my english was way too basic, I understood a lot of things if I read them but my vocabulary was a shame and I couldn't understand anything listening to it. Since then I've been working on that and I feel like I'm way more comfortable with it. From not understanding anything I'm understanding everything you're saying in your videos without subtitles and I'm also writing this. My vocabulary is way better because I read a lot, I probably read more in English than in Spanish, and my classmates always ask me if they don't know what a word means or if they need a translation.
I do think I need to learn a new language seriously and I will start. At school I'm learning french but in three years I've learned not so much and I wish it was easier. I plan to continue learning french by my side but at school I'll be learning German wich I will take seriously.
Thank you because we all need to get motivated to continue learning.
First of all, I'm always really happy when someone is learning german as it isn't the most popular language and the grammar can be really annoying😅. I have been learning english for seven years now and it improved both my understanding in the internet and my grammatical skills in german and made it more diverse. I'm also learning latin for four years and italian for almost two years and since that's still not enough for me, I started learning ancient greek in school and middle egyptian at home at an 🇺🇸-website, which improves my language skills as well. You really encourage me to go on and do my best, even if it could get annoying (like ancient greek sometimes is).
Thank you very much!
(It was a pain writing this as my german auto-correction keeps changing the words😂.)
You can also say "Zweitausendneunzehn (2019)".
I think there aren't many germans saying "Zwanzig neunzehn (20 - 19)"
Nobody say that ;-;
I know English, Bangali, Urdu, Hindi, little bit of Italian, German and Korean 😆 and I want to learn full France, Korean, Italian and German
DIE DEUTSCHE SPRACH ÜBERNIMMT DIE WELT \°^°/
I found Duolingo through you and I'm currently on a 10 day streak with Japanese and Russian. I've enjoyed watching you on your language journey so much that it motivates me to keep going too! Thanks Evan
Ich lerne Koreanisch auf Englisch ;) ich finde es echt beeindruckend, dass du dir nach wie vor so viel Mühe gibst, Deutsch zu lernen! Deutsch ist wirklich nicht die einfachste Sprache, daher hast du auf jeden Fall meinen Respekt! Bleib dabei!
I’m learning french and the hardest part about it is speaking
oui oui

mon ami j’ampelle (?) lafayette the lancelot of the revolutionary set i came from a far just to say bonsoir to the king casatoir (?) who’s the best ? c’est moi !
i’ve been taking french for 3 years in school and i really love it but speaking (and listening) is such a struggle!!
Ich lerne Deutsch ☺️☺️i Just finished a1 lvl 🙂🙂in 4 months I'll be able to say that I am quadrilingual 😊😊😊
Du lernst deutsch? Ich bin ne deutsche...
Ich kanns dir besser beibringen als eine app ;-; and...
Translate it
I was using Duolingo to learn French last year but quit doing it for some reason... You've encouraged me to start it back up again. I'd made good (before I'd quit) progress so I'm looking forward to starting it up again and refreshing myself. I work nights and have a lot of downtime, so I just need to stay motivated to using that downtime for learning instead of sitting on my phone browsing social media. Wish me luck!
I have been using Duolingo for a few months now, in part because of your videos. I am also learning Spanish and German. I think it is a great idea that you are learning Spanish from German. I am going to try to learn German from Spanish when I decide to start a new tree (I think).
I can't imagine learning spanish throug german because of the gender, that's gonna be a hard one, specially for an english native speaker. I wish you the best of lucks
Yeah gender is different often ugh
But the gender is much easier in Spanish. As a German native speaker who learned Spanish in school, I can tell you that gender wasn't really difficult. You just completely ignore the German gender and use the rules to determine whether its el or la because at least in Spanish it often coincides with the word endings.
What I wanted to say with that: if you've struggled through German gender (props to you, Evan!), Spanish will be a walk in the park! 😊
Screams in Spanish
dios mioooo
escándalo
I’ve been slacking at my french lessons and this video just sparked my motivation again! 2019, lets do this!
good luck with french!
Merci😂
Danke für das Video Evan :D Ich hab durch dich letztes Jahr mit Duolingo angefangen und ich find denn Tipp eine dritte Sprache über die zweite Sprache zu lernen total cool - das mache ich jetzt auch mit Holländisch über Englisch :D
Try learning French so that you can share my pain
you’ve inspired me in the last few weeks to finally learn greek after so many years of going there
I'm so happy that I got the level to watch Evan Edinger! 😍
I love how passionate you are about learning new languages! In 2018 I picked up my learning of Italian and I'm continuing that this year, but I would love to learn another language. I'm already studying a (foreign) language at uni right now though, so it might be a bit much 😂
Aaaah es freut mich, dass du Spanish lernen wirst! Ich kann nicht warten, deinen Gringo Akzent zu hören >;p
Cuando puedas, haz un video en Español para todos los que lo hablan :D
I love learning languages, last year I started taking learning Korean seriously and I learnt so much! This year I'm going to begin learning a bit of Cantonese!
Que bueno que estés aprendiendo español Evan!
Comencé a seguirte por lo rápido que hablas inglés, y ya que entiendo el 90% de lo que dices jaja!
Well, Evan in den letzten 4 Monaten ich habe gelernt Deutsch und dein RUclips Channel hat war eine Inspiration für mich. Wie dich, ich gelernt mit Duolingo auch und ich liebe es...jetzt ich lerne der Dativ Case. In Mai Ich umziehe nach Deutschland. Danke schön für dein Videos sie sind toll. Und lerne weiter...
