Great work Israel! Please do this more often. Regarding your questions 6 and 7: in addition to lack of respect for minority cultures, I think many people reduce language to a vehicle for transmitting information, not for improving relationships with people. That's one reason people say "why learn Welsh if they all speak English, Catalan if they all speak Spanish, Dutch if they all speak English, Ukrainian if they all speak Russian, etc"
You are a Master at language learning Israel !...You're Awesome!.. In spite of it all your modesty shines through!! You have to do more videos like this one! All of the tips are spot on!❤
Thanks for the kind words, I needed them! I haven't done much on RUclips along these lines because I feel like I'm just repeating what many RUclipsrs have already said. But having done this talk irl and seeing the response, I might do more! Stay subscribed to know when I do!
Lots of really good points (and reminders.) Lately I feel like I haven't been creating a nurturing environment for my target languages. And I really need to get back to the JOY of learning. I will implement these in my journey from here on out. 😊 Also that is so dope that you score music!! I'm so jealous because I've wanted to be able to do that. 😭 Great talk!
BTW I'm curious to hear your thoughts on written Cantonese. I plan to learn it someday, but I've heard it's mostly spoken. That's already a challenge for me because I need to see it, hear it, write it, then say it. I've also heard (from a Cantonese speaker) that writing it can be confusing because apparently the characters vary so much that some natives aren't sure which to use... 😫😫
I'm just chuffed you didn't find it a waste of your time 🥹 That's definitely a whole other lecture, but for starters this video might be a good introduction ruclips.net/video/9w3BsdCHg8U/видео.html It's from a native's perspective but it might shed some light on the issue for you as well

The camera angle could have been better, but the casual vibe and great info are unparalleled.
T_T I tried, but someone moved it just before I started
