I know I'm late,but I'll still reply. I've been learning Spanish religiously for three months. This means daily learning for 1+h,bouth great book,wrote down everything,all assignments,was talking with myself constantly. I had quit, it's 5 years now and I don't remember anything..
Yeah... I forgot Spanish after learning it for four years in school. I used to be great... now, not so much. But at least I can still read and pronounce things in Spanish quite well
I forgot spanish my first language and it breaks my heart becauseI have trouble communicating with my grandma and my friends parents, I can understand fluently but have trouble speaking because I get nervous and embarrassed and I forget the words :((
I can relate. I speak Spanish fluently, but I hardly speak it nowadays. When I see old friends that only speak Spanish I fumble through the conversation and they look surprised lol
Michael Wallace I should have elaborated. It takes me about half an hour of warming up to start speaking smoothly again and to regain everything. It’s only when I have to speak the language at a moment’s notice that I fumble
My biggest regret in life would be forgetting how to speak my first language after moving to America. I can still understand it, which is a headstart. My parents encourage me to speak to them but I'm too scared because I feel like I have too much of an accent, or I'll make grammar mistakes ;-(
What is your mother tongue? Don't do it please!! Speak with your parents 😊 The best way to learn is speaking. If you have accent, it's okay!! I'm started this year learning English and it's okay. Sorry for my English for the moment is pretty bad.👋
Same! I’ve forgotten my first language (French) since moving to the u.s. as a young child. I can read and understand it, but when it comes to conversation it’s terrible.
Same here, Moving to Egypt and not talking the language for 9 years destroyed my French, It's a shame bec I love the language and would have liked to flex a bit more.
@@arkti3928 bruh....can relate so badly....I studied Chinese(Simplified Mandarin)when I was in primary school.....now that I'm not learning it,it makes me forgot some words😔
haven't visited channel for few month and surprise. See so important theme for me. I studied French at school, but was not interested in foreign languages as i am now. so unfortunately i forgot it. now i hope i'll remember it once
My mother tongue is spanish and I used to speak it so well as a kid but I don't as much as I used to. I usually watch videos on yt to improve some of my Spanish as well as talking to my mom but mostly my grandma bc she only speaks Spanish and I'm forced to lol. when I talk to my mom we end up just speaking English at the end lol 😂
Oh goodness I desperately needed this!!! I’ve taken a break -cough 8 YEARS cough- from mandarin and now that I want to get back into it I’m floundering. This came at a great time as well because I’ll have time off so I’d like to get some practice in. Thank you Lindie!
This video came out at just the right time for me! I recently started a new job with new hours and new days off and I've been struggling to find balance in just my everyday life (not including any language learning). I've been feeling really frustrated at myself for not having time to study and worrying about catching back up. Lovely tips! I plan to incorporate a couple :)
So I'm actually born and first studied kinder in Japan and my native language is Japanese, but then when I hit primary level, we moved to Australia and now go to school there and every year I'm now slowly forgetting Japanese and also can't talk properly with my dad on the phone that's why I have to relearn it again since we're planning to go back in Japan in a few years
Me being Mexican American (essentially Hispanic... both parents Mexican just born in America) 👁👄👁 forgetting Spanish and struggling so hard/getting made fun of for sounding weird now/being shamed for speaking back to family in English instead of Spanish. 🧍♂️
Same I ONLY spoke Spanish during preschool. But the teachers told my parents to speak to us in English. Nowadays I can’t even have a conversation with my grandparents.😔
I stopped speaking German in preschool bc I was made fun of the way I spoke so I stopped and now I really wish I didn’t :( I’m trying to learn it again but it’s so hard and now my English is sounding weird 😂 and people are making fun of me
Lindie! You are amazing! I am watching your videos (especially about Chinese, because I am learning it for a few weeks) and you are very motivating. You gave me a lots of useful advices. I am inspirated to learn foregin languages now. I am Hungarian, so I can help you if you need help 😉 I wish you the bests! 谢谢! 😀
I forgot how to speak Turkish fluently, i can speak basic parts from it but a full conversation is nearly impossible for me, unless i talk to my grandpa who prefers to speak Turkish. I can understand it almost fluently, but only if it‘s not spoken too fast or if it comes to certain words. But when it comes to other family members or other Turkish people in my class, i get really embarrassed and end up forgetting everything. It really sucks that German has taken over my entire vocabulary
I was playing Lindie Botes videos in the background while I did other things, Letting the ads play in support this good content, When an ad began to drag on for much longer than I was expecting... So if there's a bump in this month's ad revenue, it's probably present Because I sat through an ad that must've been 30 minutes long. 😅 It was for some special dog food... and I don't even have a pet, But it was somewhat interesting to hear about what ingredients belong In a healthy diet for a dog. I just wish it were in my language target. 😂
I have the French DALF C2 certificate, and yet my spoken French has gone way down over the past few years... When I was at the Polyglot Conference back in October, someone started speaking French to me and my mind went almost completely blank. It was so embarrassing! I'm not particularly motivated to maintain the language, which is perhaps the biggest problem, but, what's more, I'm also hopeless at switching from one language to another in general.
I am so sad I forgot Arabic since I moved from yemen in 2014 I started studying english and Finnish and other languages they teach in school nowadays I speak finish somali and english but not Arabic I am depressed 🥺
How fortuitous that you would make a video on this topic. Recently finished the course of modern Hellenic (GFreek) that I was doing and have been strongly considering starting German again, which I haven't really used much since I graduated high school.
Haha did you actually book a lesson with Palin? She was my first tutor earlier this year and she's really lovely! (Sadly there aren't any free time slots in her schedule at the moment but I'll keep checking) 加油 :)
it sucks even more when it's your mother tongue. like you know it but you also don't. either way, where I live, I get tested for it in school exams. TT
i am currently learning japanese and korean at the same time (i will try N2 level next year, korean absolute beginner)- do you think it is a good idea to learn both on one day? like 2 hours korean and 2 hours japan, and during the day immersion in both languages? or is it more effective in the long run to seperate the days?
uk Korean and Japanese have some words too much and some same i recommend learning them separately; im saying this for my experience im upper intermediate in Japanese and soon be advanced and Korean is in the loading of intermediate
Ummm i yousto live in findland and finish wasent my first language and i noved back to albania and im moving to findland but i havent spoken finish in 2 years i forgot everything 😢😂
Thankyou so much for this video!!! But I have a question, I'm born in Italy and I lived there until I turned 8 years. But then I stopped talking in Italian because I moved to Sweden and there was nobody that spoke italian. So unfortunatly I forgot the language completely (I'm 16 years old now). My question is: Will I be able to talk Italian without an accent if I learn it again. I'm so afraid that I will have an accent because that's the most important language for me. (Sorry I forgot to tell you that I also speak English, Arabic and swedish fluently, idk but i heard that the languages you speak can affect your accent).
funnily enough im also trying to learn mandarin again because i forgot 99.9% of it and it was my first language so i used to speak it fluently but stopped speaking it when i was 5 and for a whole decade i’ve wanted to learn it again rlly bad but i didn’t know where to start so ty a lot for this video 🙏
Would love a video about how you manage both your language learning and your RUclips, ie how do you prioritize the language learning when running a business, this is a struggle/or maybe I should say hurdle
I’m also learning chinese, I’ve only been studying for 2 months and I’m already struggling haha, I’m planning on going to China next year as a exchange student so I really need to learn. Do you know any good apps for learning? :)
I actually started following you in the purpose of finding tips about learning Mandarin Chinese xD So I'm finally getting what I was searching for. Still, I loved all your other videos and your advices were very helpful + I'd never thank you enough for making me discover lingodeer
I'm also learning chinese! I've been studying for 5-ish months now and I'm interested in also studying traditional characters since I'm planning on going to taiwan as a exchange student next year! However I can't seem to find any grammar book with traditional characters 😭 any recommendations? Love u and your videos by the way! Keep up the good work ❤
Thanks for your helpful advice! What I do to maintain foreign language proficiency is to spend a few minutes in the morning to read newspaper sections where I could learn one expression for Chinese, English and Japanese every day! Practice makes perfect in the end!
Do you have favorite Chinese speaking youtubers? Can't seem to take a decision... Also if you have a favorite dictionary app for Japanese? One on which we can draw kanji. Just discovered your channel and really really Love your videos!
My first language is Chinese but, I was never good at it. When quarantine started, I haven't really talked to anybody.I always use English and never use Chinese, I forgot most things and it's hard for me to communicate with other's,even though I understand what they are saying.
Dk why but I've been learning Japanese for more than a year now and for some reason I'm beginning to forget a bunch of words both in spanish and english. It's such a weird experience, considering the fact that I'm forgetting way more words in Spanish than in English (and Spanish is my mother tongue).
I took 3 years of German in HS 6 years ago. Didn’t do much with it afterwards except ordering a Taco Bell order in German, when then drive thru guy happened to jokingly start with it. Had a good laugh from that but haven’t used it since then. Though 6 years is quite a long time, def need a decent refresher.
it’s weird bc i speak french fluently i think, i started french immersion when i was 8 snd do all my classes were in french all the way up until grade 10. now i sm done grade 12 and somehow i can still remember snd speak w my french friends in french for hours, but bc i haven’t practiced for years i have forgotten like words if that makes sense? so i can speak for hours w someone in french but every few mins i’ll have to say wait how do u say door again? how do i say i used to? snd it’s annoying !
My mother language is Spanish, I speak it everyday, it's the language spoken in my country, and once I forgot how to say "silla", and forgot about the word in English too. My memory is really bad.
You can always try to make a video in that language too so that it forces you to speak on the spot (or even if you prepare a script, you'll learn something through having to look up words that you may not know or remember) although that can be a little bit scary!
This is so much needed now as I am taking Brush Up Swedish at school next semester because I have forgotten everything as I don't have any use for it... I studied Swedish from 2004 to 2014 at school and during the past 4 years I have forgotten everything 🙈🙈
I’m embarrassed deeply when I’m told to speak in my family’s language because I was born and raised in a different country for 5/6 years even though I used to come and visit my dad every holiday up until we moved back and that’s when I was needed to speak and I suffered and still do when I’m learning the language although I do call myself fluent but I make a few grammar mistakes. My first word was in English and I grew up watching English shows and reading in English.
I’m on my 7 years learning mandarin in school and my Chinese is not that good and I think it’s because each summer as I don’t study with my professor when I get back in September in school I can’t even introduce myself ugh
I completely forgot spanish and I had been studying at school for 5 years. It makes me sad because that language is so close to french. Thx for your tips
thank you! I'm studying Japanese & Business at college and so I have to follow "a script" when there are more effective ways, such as shadowing and rtk (heisig method). Like how I can I combine these 2 "ways" in order to not disregard follow the strict way with textbook and what my sensei tells me? I hope you understand what I mean :D
Just the tips I need, I hadn't touch many of the languages I used yo study because I am a bit bussy with my baby, sometimes I don't have enough time. Only English because it is in all parts
Thank you for recommending italki. I didnt know this platform. But with your link I registered now and will book my very first lesson very soon. Feeling a bit nervous about talking in my target language. But sure it will help me and I can learn a lot with it.
Oh yeah!! I had my Khmer lesson, via iTalki, this morning. Awesome teacher👍🏽👍🏽 iTalki is great! Best wishes brushing up on Mandarin. It is a difficult language!
can you please answer my question? when i was young 6 years old I used to talk Portuguese fluently. now i have been seperated from this language 18 years and I totally forgot this language amd have no idea about i cant talk niether understand? i your opinion can I remeber this language fast? or I have to work like any one needs to learn it from the beginning?
I am not her, but I would say that you should begin as everyone else, but you most probably will learn faster than the average because your mind retained features of that language (I am saying this based on evidences from an experiment in linguistics that I read some time ago). Btw hi from Brasil, I always feel happy when I see people wanting to learn (relearn in your case) my native language.
I think so. I forgot German when I moved to the states at age 5. I stopped speaking German since I lived in the US.. I still remember most of the grammar structure and some vocabulary. This is why I’m working on increasing my vocabulary and reading/writing. I guess it depends on what you still remember?
Can't believe it took me so long to watch this video... I "learned" French for basically my whole life but I've never been fluent, but I also am much higher than base but little pieces of lower things are gone. It's been intimidating me so this is really helpful ❤
This has been a huge struggle for me-- I'm currently working full time on top of taking an online graduate school program. I'm also earnestly learning to drive for the first time in my life (I know, weird for a middle-aged guy who doesn't live in New York not knowing how to drive), and am working on a power-lifting program. The goal when I graduate is to teach English in Moscow or St. Petersburg for a year and then come back and start on my PhD. But I've let my Russian go and it became very easy to let my Russian tutoring go. I have a lot of work to do, but what I can do right now? Watch Russian horror movies, I need to get my ears accustomed to it again. Plus I love horror movies. Great video, thank you.

You better get to it!
Grandma’s not gonna be around forever! Mine is gone now, and I completely regret not learning her native language.
I can relate. I speak Spanish fluently, but I hardly speak it nowadays. When I see old friends that only speak Spanish I fumble through the conversation and they look surprised lol
If you fumble through a conversation, you're not fluent, even if you once were.

Thanks for giving me the idea to turn my phone into that language 😉 thats really REALLY useful... My brain is too dumb tk think of that, but thanks🤩
I’m embarrassed deeply when I’m told to speak in my family’s language because I was born and raised in a different country for 5/6 years even though I used to come and visit my dad every holiday up until we moved back and that’s when I was needed to speak and I suffered and still do when I’m learning the language although I do call myself fluent but I make a few grammar mistakes. My first word was in English and I grew up watching English shows and reading in English.
I used to be fluent-ish in Spanish but I haven't been using it at all for the past four years and it's completely gone. Help :D
I’m on my 7 years learning mandarin in school and my Chinese is not that good and I think it’s because each summer as I don’t study with my professor when I get back in September in school I can’t even introduce myself ugh
I completely forgot spanish and I had been studying at school for 5 years. It makes me sad because that language is so close to french. Thx for your tips
when you have an assignment due at 12:00 and its 11:34 and you forgot how to speak Spanish: 👁 👄👁
thank you! I'm studying Japanese & Business at college and so I have to follow "a script" when there are more effective ways, such as shadowing and rtk (heisig method). Like how I can I combine these 2 "ways" in order to not disregard follow the strict way with textbook and what my sensei tells me? I hope you understand what I mean :D
Just the tips I need, I hadn't touch many of the languages I used yo study because I am a bit bussy with my baby, sometimes I don't have enough time. Only English because it is in all parts
Thank you for recommending italki. I didnt know this platform. But with your link I registered now and will book my very first lesson very soon. Feeling a bit nervous about talking in my target language. But sure it will help me and I can learn a lot with it.
i’ve nearly forgotten my mother tongue and i didn’t even travel anywhere wtf
Oh yeah!! I had my Khmer lesson, via iTalki, this morning. Awesome teacher👍🏽👍🏽
iTalki is great!
Best wishes brushing up on Mandarin. It is a difficult language!
can you please answer my question? when i was young 6 years old I used to talk Portuguese fluently. now i have been seperated from this language 18 years and I totally forgot this language amd have no idea about i cant talk niether understand? i your opinion can I remeber this language fast? or I have to work like any one needs to learn it from the beginning?
I am not her, but I would say that you should begin as everyone else, but you most probably will learn faster than the average because your mind retained features of that language (I am saying this based on evidences from an experiment in linguistics that I read some time ago). Btw hi from Brasil, I always feel happy when I see people wanting to learn (relearn in your case) my native language.
She always comes up with videos I need right in that moment!!! I love you lindie keep on learning languages and inspiring us to do the same!!
Thank you for all those great tips !!! One of my biggest resolutions for this upcoming year is to improve my Korean ^^
aaaah! I hope your move goes well, Lindie
Io mi sto dimenticando l'italiano. È davvero terribile non parlare con i connazionali per paura di sbagliare.
Hi, did you learn the languages alone ?
Does this work if we used to be fluent and forgot it after childhood?
I think so. I forgot German when I moved to the states at age 5. I stopped speaking German since I lived in the US.. I still remember most of the grammar structure and some vocabulary. This is why I’m working on increasing my vocabulary and reading/writing. I guess it depends on what you still remember?

Hey Lindie, can I ask what's your age?😋
변태 ㅋㅋㅋ
Can't believe it took me so long to watch this video... I "learned" French for basically my whole life but I've never been fluent, but I also am much higher than base but little pieces of lower things are gone. It's been intimidating me so this is really helpful ❤
I love your videos^^
In learning korean so please make more korean videos
This has been a huge struggle for me-- I'm currently working full time on top of taking an online graduate school program. I'm also earnestly learning to drive for the first time in my life (I know, weird for a middle-aged guy who doesn't live in New York not knowing how to drive), and am working on a power-lifting program. The goal when I graduate is to teach English in Moscow or St. Petersburg for a year and then come back and start on my PhD.
But I've let my Russian go and it became very easy to let my Russian tutoring go.
I have a lot of work to do, but what I can do right now?
Watch Russian horror movies, I need to get my ears accustomed to it again. Plus I love horror movies.
Great video, thank you.
