Besides the fact that you never stop learning english once you have started. So even if you have a good english proficiency, you'll keep mastering it as long as you use it (which in most cases means for ever). I want to prepare for taking the toelf or ielts test and get a c1 (I currently have a B2 level) but Im also into italian and french, so I will try to do something similar to what you did and see what the outcome is in one year from now.
I was casually studying Italian on and off for a year when I started learning Spanish. I can learn them both simultaneously with no problem, learning Spanish has also helped with my Italian tbh.
I'm currently learning both Italian and Spanish in which I started learning "la bella lingua" for 5 years now. I have to say that it is one of the reasons why I like foreign languages. I use Italian a lot to learn Spanish but there has been times where I start a sense in Italiano and end with Spanish. Ciao, ciao🇫🇷🇮🇹
This is SUCH an interesting topic! I’m just getting where I can handle French and Spanish simultaneously - and now I’m feeling the temptation to start another... 😂

It’s definitely addicting, once you learn one language, you want to learn them all
You’ve said it 👏. French helped me when I started Italian . At an advanced level, I moved on and learned German. I think the locals should appreciate that we speak their language, even though not perfectly. And not pointing at the errors we made.
You're right. When you master one language the other will come easily. I have a high level of Italian and now I'm studying Spanish. Italian is incredible and it helps me a lot. When you master one romance language you'll be able to understand other romance languages without much effort. It's a very magnificent experience and I recommended it to everyone
Sandra, my situation is the opposite of yours. I've studied Spanish for 4+ years and have recently started with Italian. No doubt my level of comprehension is higher due to my spanish but I do worry about confusing the 2 languages. What has been your experience since your post?
This is so relatable lol. The struggle is real! I’m going to school now to become a Spanish and Italian teacher and I get confused all the time lol, but I feel like that is all part of the fun! It is better that I learned Spanish first though because it really helps me with my Italian. Great video!
This video, like all of yours, is very useful and so true. I talked in my Bachelor's thesis about the phenomenon of making mistakes while learning a language and those mistakes are part of the learning, so they haven't to be banned but encouraged, because they are part of rhe process and it's more important to try speaking the language than reaching the "perfection".
Hi! I'm from Poland. I'm learning both: English and Italian watching you:) I think that your methods of learning Italian are very useful and the way you speak English helps me to improve it (English). Polish is one of the most difficult languages, people say it's more complicated than Chinese. It's very interesing for me when you explain English users Italian grammar, because it's much more complicated than English grammar but 20 times easier than Polish grammar. Good job:)
It's just like u said, my first language is Spanish and it helps me when it comes to conjugation of verbs, but since they are so similar yet different, it sort of complicates it more because it like relearning your language but changing the words slightly, so u reach to a point where u don't know when to change it and when not to.
I started learning French in high school and just ran with it and have been practicing it for about 10 yrs now. I guess you could say I’m fluent in French now probably as much as you are in italian. I’m going to Rome this summer and really want to learn Italian. Im glad I stumbled on your videos. Cool to know another American who’s going thru the same language struggles. Just subscribed.
The worst are not words but prepositions, articles and reflex verbs. The funny word all this languages say slightly different is to drive (guidare, manejar, conduire, dirigir)
I mean at the basic level, sure, it may even help solidify grammatical concepts that are sometimes glossed over in anglophone countries (for example here in Canada, we have zero grammar instruction because it's not deemed worthwhile to instruct children on their native tongues' grammar.) But I think it's extremely hard to learn to SPEAK more than one language at the same time unless they're rather distant in terms of their structure. I can only speak anecdotally, but I've formally studied Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. At a certain point I stopped focusing on trying to speak Portuguese and Spanish and only focused on the grammar, while maintaining my diligence in spoken Italian. After a few months, I became conversationally fluent in Italian and am only now starting to open myself back up to speaking Spanish with incredible difficulty. I can make myself understood, but I'm constantly using Italian pronunciation, or leaning on safe phrases (Non lo so instead of No lo se, magari/forse instead of talvez, etc.) I have zero difficulty in understanding, so if you only want to be able to enjoy more than one language, go right ahead. But if you're not 100% concrete in your ability to speak one language I think it best to focus speaking only one while you study a few more on the side (given that they're connected.) I have no problem writing to my friends in spanish or portuguese but speaking is a totally different matter. TLDR: You can STUDY (in textbooks, online, etc.) more than one closely related language to great benefit, but to learn to speak more than one language is not recommended. To study Portuguese/French/Spanish/Italian at the same time will reap benefits, to the point where you can text to your friends in those languages without difficulty, but one should choose a single language to specialize in speaking before learning another. C1 is the level I'd recommend before even considering trying to train for another language.
Interesting video! I grew up bilingual (English and Spanish) so learning Italian allowed me to make connections. Now that I am at a decent level (depends the context 😒) I am looking into studying Brazilian Portuguese this year 😄 I just wanted to get to a good level of Italian first so I wouldn't confuse the languages.
I just started learning French after having learnt Italian to somewhat advanced level and I can relate to everything you have said. The confusion is there but also my Italian is an aid to my french lessons.
I am learning Arabic, Serbian and German at the same time having already mastered 3 other languages. The trick is to have resources readily available to study each everyday and review the others as time permits during the week.
Hi, I just stumbled upon your video...I started studying Spanish around 4 years ago and have a high-intermediate level. At the beginning of this year, I started an Italian course (a language I had briefly studied 25 years ago) and am amazed at how much I can comprehend based on my spanish knowledge (both grammar and vocabulary). Of course producing Italian is another matter. I've been concerned about confusing the 2 languages and it has happened (cucina / cocina is a recent goof). But I'm hopeful based on your French/Italian experience that I can learn more Italian without sacrificing my Spanish. Thanks!
Native English speaker here. Gradually learned Spanish over time because of family and lots of people around my neighbor mostly speaking natively Spanish. I am not sure I think I am between a B1 and B2 in Spanish, due to the fact that I can speak the language well, but I am not the greatest writer in Spanish. Anyways, I am now learning two languages at the same time. Started learning Greek about a month and a half ago and afterwards began learning Italian. Love Greek but the experience can be painful when learning, it's a beautiful language but it's complicated and takes lots of time to wrap around your brain. Italian on the hand I am finding to be easy, Italian feels like a cloned language of Spanish. So, I think picking a hard language and an easy language helps out a great deal especial if they are both very different. Thank you for the video!
Well, i think, i can do it! Thank you! Studio italiano di quasi due anni. Avevo paura che forse non potrei studiare spagnolo, perché un'amica raccontavami che lei ha dimenticata tutto spagnolo se studiava italiano! Ma adesso spero che una volta posso parlare entrambi le lingue :)
I've been learning Spanish and have a decent grasp on it but decided to at the same time pick up french and Italian and have been having trouble with the Italian side of thing. This has been instrumental for me in deciding to just focus on French and Spanish as it seem like learning Spanish and French first then Italian might be easier for me. Merci!
I am currently learning spanish and french. It is challanging and very interesting. It is nice to hear both at the same time like a french explaining spanish eventhough i am still at very basic level. Getting confused not a problem, I just enjoy the process
Since English is foreign language for me, it is good for me to learn Italian with English explanation. I'm learning English and Italian at the same time thanks to you. 😊 And you speak a bit fast, but it is not that hard for me to understand. Your English pronunciation is clear and the accent is great! Thanks a lot for the inspiration!
Hi Tom ! Your video is very interesting. I started learning italian a few weeks ago (that's why I found your channel, thanks to the youtube algorythm), for the fun and to speak better when I travel in, Italy. Italian is very similar to my mother tongue french, but I want to learn it seriously. As you can read, I also speak english (I work in english). I also learned german at school, so english + a bit of german helps me to learn swedish. J'ai aussi appris le russe au lycée, mais je n'ai jamais vraiment pu le pratiquer. Donc oui, on peut apprendre deux langues en même temps. Plus on en apprend, plus c'est facile... et amusant. Feras-tu des cours d'italien pour les français sur ta chaîne ?
I learned french B1/B2 level and i recently started to learn a little bit italian-just words. My mother tongue is swiss german so for me it's not so easy to learn french or italian.
Hi,I am a native Spanish speaker. I am interested in learning Italian and French simultaneously, and I wanted to know if it would be difficult to learn both simultaneously until I found your video. Thanks so much for your advice!!!!! Now I feel more confident. 😀
I'm learning french at school for like 4 years. I'm not really good cause i dont study at home but i so wanted to speak italian so we tried with my mom at home with some books and sometimes we visited our family that speaks italian fluently. But then i forgot some french and i got really confused. So i stopped italian and i'm trying to learn french perfectly that i can start Italian again.
Tom, i often see comments from Italians that your Italian is now so good, you sound like a native.. ( complimenti!) can you tell me if you spent a lot of time in Italy to achieve this or if you managed to get to this level from the States using videos, music, etc.
I study English and Spanish 15min/day (Advanced level), Turkish - 1h listening to dialogues and 30min watching Turkish TV or travel vlogs without active learning (Pre-intermediate), Spoken Persian - 15-30min (zero level). There is no problem, just time-management. Btw, I used to speak French and Italian, I even lived in Rome, I can fully understand you 😊 "il conto o el cuento o la cuenta?" Como o come o como come?
I started learning french first but then I wanted to learn Italian so I began studying Italian more than french. I haven’t been having much trouble yet and I’m doing well😂👍🏼
@@lelandknutson2308 honestly, it’s up to you. I’m doing it for fun, so I’m not too strict on what I’m doing. I study Italian more because I’m more interested in it, but every once and a while I go over French. Personally, they’re both fairly equal in difficulty for me, but Italian is slightly easier because of pronunciation. I say have fun and do whatever you feel like doing! :)❤️
Facts. 4 years of learning Spanish, then went pretty hard on the Duolingo french, then switched back to Spanish. When I realized these things it was the simple Tu when I was speaking Spanish my brain would be like (are you speaking french right now?) and just shut off my brain
I'm also learning Spanish and Italian at the same time I started Learning Spanish at elementary and when I was in Grade 11 I also studied Italian and now I am learning both my Spanish is still intermediate level and need to learn more but I guess I need to focus on Italian first so that I can communicate to people in Milan,Rome or Venice and after that I will go back to Spanish
I’m trying to learn Italian, French, And Turkish. I already had 6 years French in school very long ago. I want to travel to Italy and I love to watch Turkish 📺 tv shows.
Me, me also confuse French and Italian when I suddenly switch languages. Me never confuse them with Chinese and English coz their different. I can easily switch among French, Chinese, and English(it happens when I need to translate for people speaking these 3 languages together); but not french and Italian, no!
i totally relate to the mixing up numbers thing because my family speaks italian and i speak it in italy with my family but then when i was learning spanish at school i got so mixed up🥴
I’m a fluent Spanish and English speaker, and I really want to learn French and recently I’ve had interest in Italian lately and I tried learning it but it gets very confusing (Italian and French) and I’d like to know if it is better if I just focus on French for now, and then Italian?
Actually having broken on my English language for around 10 years and after a some time I realised I need to start a new language and after 9 months of studying Russian I got into spanish! Iranian spanish Russian English!😅😭
My first language was actually Spanish and English but then I just stuck with English now I’m trying to learn/relearn Spanish but I also want to learn Italian. I want to study them at the same time but I’m kinda scared at butchering both of them😂😂
I know a little Spanish and a little French (I have way back French relatives). I have to really think hard when switching from one to the other! Not a master in either one 😂
I don't think so, it's really hard to learn two different languages like Arabic and Russian or even Turkish and Arabic ( u can find more than 550 Arabic words or maybe more in Turkish language) But with (Italian, french, english, Spanish) as I think yes u can
I consider it's easier to study two languages from different language families because there is almost no confusion in the early stages of your learning process. Nonetheless, it will take up more of your time. I'm currently learning Russian and German at the same time, and the only challenge I'm finding difficult to overcome is the lack of time for both.
I think French is more similar to Italian than Spanish, I speak both French and Spanish and while studying Italian I would often notice how similar French and Italian words are
I don't know French, but from what I can hear, the pronunciation between Italian and Spanish is almost the same. Perhaps the grammar will be more similar, but I don't know. I speak Spanish and Italian I speak fairly well. Another thing I may add... Spanish from Spain sounds more similar to Italian in the phrases they use (must be a European thing) compared to my Spanish from Mexico. I notice this when I watch Spaniard shows.
I'm Italian, I can speak and write French, Spanish and English but I can tell that Italian people feel more comfortable with Spanish, even if they've never studied it, as most words sound the same,especially in the south.
Yes, knowing italian would help a lot, for example i'm brazilian and i'm learning italian, so there are so many similar words and things... it's easier
I studied french, english and italian at the same time!! Sometimes is difficult but you can!!! :)

Good that Italy is finally learning its own language 😀

same question 🙄🤔
Italian is a mix of French and Spanish
Actually having broken on my English language for around 10 years and after a some time I realised I need to start a new language and after 9 months of studying Russian I got into spanish!
Iranian spanish Russian English!😅😭
Yeah we are learning numbers in Spanish now in class right now and I said sei instead of seis. I even said giallo instead of amarillo.
I’m starting to learn French but also Spanish because a lot of my friends are Spanish. Wish me luck
I’m learning Spanish for the long run, but I sometimes go to Italy and quickly try to learn some Italian, wich then ruins my Spanish
I’m Italian and I’m learning English, Spanish and German at the same time
I'm American learning Spanish, French, Italian, and Brazilian Portuguese at the same time.
learning 2 languages at the same time is like training for a marathon while training for a sumo competition :)
WHY DON'T YOU SPEAK SPANISH? AHHHH! UNTIL NOW I ACTUALLY REALIZE THAT YOU SPEAK MY BEAUTIFUL SPANISH! C'MOOOON.
Thanks Tom
Grazie Mille.. adesso posso studiare l'italiano ..
I speak English and my mother tongue is Spanish, what do you recommend to learn first? Italian or French?
I'll recommend to learn Italian first since the pronunciation is easier.
My first language was actually Spanish and English but then I just stuck with English now I’m trying to learn/relearn Spanish but I also want to learn Italian. I want to study them at the same time but I’m kinda scared at butchering both of them😂😂
Fantastic!
I know a little Spanish and a little French (I have way back French relatives). I have to really think hard when switching from one to the other! Not a master in either one 😂
Parlo correntemente 4 lingue (italiano, inglese, francese e spagnolo)
anch'io
Thank You!,
I learned Italian and German
I talk catalan and spanish at a native level and this confusions still happen to me.
I have the same problem with word confusing haha
I am Spanish Speaker i dont get confused but i use words incorrectly with i am Speaking Portuguess because they are quite similar too
I've been confusing Portuguese and Spanish a lot lately!
Interesting 😇🌸🍀🌼
I want to learn Italian and Spanish which one is it best to start with?
You can’t go wrong with either one first as they’re very similar. Go with the one you think you are most drawn to first!
Where is portugueses?
I don't think so, it's really hard to learn two different languages like Arabic and Russian or even Turkish and Arabic ( u can find more than 550 Arabic words or maybe more in Turkish language)
But with (Italian, french, english, Spanish) as I think yes u can
I consider it's easier to study two languages from different language families because there is almost no confusion in the early stages of your learning process. Nonetheless, it will take up more of your time. I'm currently learning Russian and German at the same time, and the only challenge I'm finding difficult to overcome is the lack of time for both.
I am studying Japanese and German at the same time at this moment, can I study Italian with them ?
If you want to then sure.
What language is more similar with italian? French or Spanish?
I think French is more similar to Italian than Spanish, I speak both French and Spanish and while studying Italian I would often notice how similar French and Italian words are
I don't know French, but from what I can hear, the pronunciation between Italian and Spanish is almost the same. Perhaps the grammar will be more similar, but I don't know. I speak Spanish and Italian I speak fairly well.
Another thing I may add... Spanish from Spain sounds more similar to Italian in the phrases they use (must be a European thing) compared to my Spanish from Mexico. I notice this when I watch Spaniard shows.
Phonetically, Spanish. Morphologically, and syntactically, French.
I'm Italian, I can speak and write French, Spanish and English but I can tell that Italian people feel more comfortable with Spanish, even if they've never studied it, as most words sound the same,especially in the south.
I'am now entering the world of romance language. 💖
You should learn Portuguese. I strongly believe you'd do pretty well.
Yes, knowing italian would help a lot, for example i'm brazilian and i'm learning italian, so there are so many similar words and things... it's easier
@@luar8165 I'm Brazilian, too, haha. It's slightly difficult for me to understand Italian as well as I understand Spanish, though.
I think he'd like it
I'm teaching myself Korean and Japanese....
