Hi, Luca! Why don't you learn Arabic??? Learning Arabic is learning 32 languages (dialects spoken by 10 000 000 - 100 000 000 people each) It is a real challenge. If you can't learn Arabic you are not a polyglot 🤣🤣🤣 Do you accept the challenge?
I have this feeling that when you learn to speak Turkish ,visit Turkey and speak Turkish with the locals you will love the language and the culture more Luca. Because we are also talkative and friendly like Italians.🙏✨☺️I hope you find motivation to continue your studies every single day.Grazie per questo video!🙏🥰
As a native Hungarian speaker I say to you that you can learn Turkish (or other Central Asian or native Siberian languages) easily if you speak Hungarian well. I say this as my experience, I had a Turkish flatmate for 2 months and I was curious about her language and it was very easy for me, like the Spanish language for Italians or the Russian for the Polish. The grammar is very similar, there are only few exceptions (ex. in Hungarian there aren't that big number of Verb Tenses than in Turkish and in Turkish there aren't that big number of verbal prefixes that can change the meaning of the verbs than in Hungarian, etc.) But the main features are the same, ex. the agglutinative structure, vowel harmony, a lot of mutual words and grammatical structures(ex. he/she/,it= "o" in Turkish, "ő" (in Hungarian), in= "-da/de" in Turkish, "-ban/ben" in Hungarian, etc.) So, if you speak Hungarian you will learn Turkish or other Turkic/Uralic languages much easier. And I have a message to you in Hungarian😁😀: Haver, le a kalappal előtted! Nagyon jól megtanultál magyarul ahhoz képest, hogy a többi nyelv amit beszélsz mennyire különbözik a magyartól. Persze az akcentusodon rendesen hallatszik, hogy nem az anyanyelved, de ez már az a szint, amikor simán lenyűgözöd bármelyik anyanyelvi beszélőt. A legtöbb magyarnak le fog esni az álla, amikor meghall téged beszélni, hogy egyáltalán ennyire meg tudtál tanulni anélkül, hogy nem magyar vidéken laktál. Szóval ez hatalmas teljesítmény! De mondok egy pár vígasztaló szót is: sok magyar, aki nem beszél vagy nem olvas eleget, vagy csak simán nem elég művelt, még azok sem tudnak rendesen beszélni magyarul. Tudtommal ez a világ egyik leggazadagg ragozási rendszerével bíró nyelve (van aki a baszk komplexitásához hasonlítja), a szavakhoz kapcsolódó lehetséges ragok száma nagyon nagy és ehhez nehéz hozzászokni, plusz sok az összetett szó is. Úgy hogy sok, kevésbé olvasott magyarnak is kihívást jelenthet néha ezek használata. Amit eddig elértél, az már nagyon jó!
Tip for you: Go to Vojvodina. It’s the area in northern Serbia bordering Hungary and the Hungarian minority lives there. You can practice both. Subotica is a beautiful city, highly recommended. FYI I saw many many bilingual signs there in Serbian and Hungarian.
I've been waiting for this video for so long, Luca! Thank you so much for sharing with us about your journey learning these three non-romantic, not-so-well-resourced languages! As a student of Jordanian Arabic, I can relate to many of your challenges, and I can also appreciate/affirm the reality that it takes longer to learn languages like this. This was very inspiring! Thank you!
I'm on my 3rd, 4th and 5th languages now which are Russian, Bulgarian, and German and I speak 2 languages fluently now which are English and Serbian and I wish you all the best of luck in learning them
It's interesting with Hungarian. For me it's been fits and starts - I am about a B1 speaking now with a lot of ingrained errors. But I found that speaking early really helped me, and adding input now is fine and fun, but I'm at that mid-point Dunning-Kruger phase where you know that you make mistakes. My gf tried a much less speaking based approach when we lived in BP during 2010, but she never progressed, sadly, despite being a good linguist. The resources you mentioned are good, but it would be amazing if there was more for Hungarian. I still feel a bit deprived with it.
There is no need to master the accent. Simply reduce your accent. If possible use GoogleTranslate or DeepL. Look some words in a Wiktionary. Read from time to time a little about the phonology of your target language. Be aware communication is more important than perfection.
Hey Stefan! I really advice you to watch all easy spanish video on RUclips so you will improve your English and Spanish at the same time... there is like 360 video that you could watch and it work surprisingly well for me. Go to walk and listen to the podcast learn Spanish and go in addition you will see rapidly your progress! Same for easy German there is plenty of video but try to focus on one language is far more efficient
I think what makes Turkish so easy to progress in is how outgoing the people are. Turks will talk to you whether you understand them or not. Same can’t be said for Japanese unfortunately.
Hi, Luca, as you, i have 2 babe languages: Turkish/ Türkçe🇹🇷, Scottish Gaelic/ Albanach Gaelige🏴⚔️, but i'm improving it. My 2025 language: Vietnamese/ Tiên Viêt 🇻🇳
I live in Iowa where there's a really big Bosnian population. I'd like to learn Serbian for that reason. I am learning Turkish because I think it is so cool!
Yep, Hungarian is like that, you need to take much more input before you try to output because it's so different than all other languages, logic you use for most other languages you can't use with Hungarian because it's so unique, I hated it at first but when I started understanding the logic behind it I started to love it, I got to A2 lvl but I'm still battling the grammar and the fact you can say one thing in many different ways, it will take me a while before I can say I speak it fluently but I'm not giving up. But I got to edit I got to A2 after couple of months, after 9 years I think I would be fluent.
Dell'Assimil esiste un corso di serbo-croato (che ha principalmente dialoghi in serbo nella variante ekava) ma è vecchio e non viene più commercializzato, comunque si può reperire in rete su un noto sito di vendite e aste. In alternativa esiste come hai detto il corso di croato su base francese (anche io ho usato quello). Se si vuole imparare il serbo si può partire da questo libro e poi imparare le differenze tra serbo e croato: in fin dei conti stiamo parlando di due varianti della stessa lingua.
E' così differente dal russo? Considerando che Luca conosce anche il polacco dovrebbe esserne facilitato, ma da quanto ho capito ne viene fuori un mix letale un pò come quando provo a studiare portoghese ma sapendo italiano e spagnolo mischio troppo le parole.
I've never heard of someone aproach languages like children or family, it's an interesting analogy. You really have an exceptional friend, it's no joke translating/addapting the whole course!
Hi Luca thanks for another nice video - always a pleasure to tune in! I'm sure you get this a lot but I am looking for a good resource to make quick progress from A1 to B1/B2 in Polish. If you have any advice, I'd be very grateful! Best wishes for the weekend. Rob.
Learning Serbian through Croatian doesn’t seem to be a big deal. In my view, in terms of grammar and pronunciation, the standard forms of those two languages are comparable to the difference between American and British English, just the vocabulary and script are more divergent.
Not really. British and American have differrent dialects but not grammar. Serbian and Croatian have different words and even grammar. For example, Croatian often uses the auxiliary verb "htjeti" (to want) to form the future tense, while Serbian uses the auxiliary verb "će" In the future tense, Croatian spells the infinitive and auxiliary verb together when the infinitive ends in "-t" and is immediately followed by an auxiliary verb. Serbian lists these words as separate verb forms in their grammars. Croatian: Pisat ću, Reći ću, Ići ću Serbian: Pisati ću, Reći ću, Ići ću And the pronounciation and affectaton is much different, and of course they have a different writing systems. Also Croatian have unique words while Serbian 'borrows' words everywhere and uses international formats. hljeb (Serbian) kruh (Croatian) etc. Serbian and Bosnian have lots of turcisms, where Croatian has ingrained germanistic and even french words. Because the generations have learned merged language it is comprehensible, but it might not be within 50 years. I've immigrated to Canada 35 years ago and there are words in Croatian, even sentences that I can't understand.
I've needed 3 years to speak Turkish fluent, but I didn't practise regulary. At first the language was very alien like to me in every aspect. Now the language feels very natural to me.
I had pretty much the same frustrating experience with turkish (using lingq, youtube, podcasts, chat, etc) until I found someone who only talked non stop in turkish with me, everyday, for months. I also heard how turkish was used in everyday life. When I didn't understand, I wrote and looked up the words. Then I saw some progress.
Strange! Croatian culture is much closer to the Italian. I wonder if you are learning the language because of the cute girl? Croatian does not have cyrilic letters and is more unique as it uses specific words vs. mishmash of international words and expressions.
Luca,Do you speak Neapolitian and Sicilian?If not..Would you learn them?I have always been curious to know.Growing up in the Bronx.These are the languages I heard.Not Italian so much.
I am going to focus on 3 languages at the beginning 2 months of next year 2025. They are Turkish, Finnish and Hindi. Maybe Finnish and Hungarian are a little bit similar? 🤔 I hope i can talk with you Luca in Turkish someday... haha
9 years of Hungarian (on and off) and you're a B1?? That doesn't give me hope lol. I've been learning it since end of July 2023 and I'm not even A1. I just don't understand it, the grammar is a nightmare and I haven't managed a solid learning plan. Been having lessons once a week for 10 months and I remember nothing once it's over. I have no idea how to learn a language as an adult with a full time job and other things going on in the evenings.
Thanks for the kind words! I am still at a B1+ because I did not make it a priority, but I think that if you spend 3 years focusing only on Hungarian, you can make it! As for what you said: having lessons once a week is not enough. If you don't plan it or record it and listen to it later, it is not going to make a dent. If you are really determined, you need to make space and time for language learning every single day, at least 30 minutes a day.
@LucaLampariello At the moment I've been doing duolingo every day which sort of helps if the topics line up with my lessons but mostly I think it's not very effective 😅 and drops for vocab. I have several Hungarian books and the big grammar one that I was trying to work through but I haven't done it for ages. I have found other Hungarian learners and native speakers at my work so will be organising coffee meet ups with them to practice speaking more.
Ali Yilmaz is amazing for A2-B1 levels, I totally reccomend it if Easy Turkish is still too much 😃 when I was struggling with my A2 Turkish a while back (and still trying to power through Easy Turkish videos🤭) Ali Yilmaz came as a breath of fresh air and let me enjoy this beautiful language in a very chilled way
Tengo mucho celos de tí. Vivo en Estados Unidos y estoy muy lejos de cualquier idioma aparte del español y el francés y es difícil visitar un país donde se hable otro idioma. Me gustaría mucho mudarme a Europa pero es muy difícil porque no tengo pasaporte europeo
For example Take 20new words generate with chat gpt 10 easy sentences that include those 20 words in context ,,,,,create ai voice audio with those sentences now you can repeat and hear und speak only new vocabulary sentences and speed them up up to 2x speed in ur audio mp3 player on your phone ,,,,this way you become an expert in 2x speed speaking and listening with only ur new vocabulary and then do it again and again and again

And I have a message to you in Hungarian😁😀: Haver, le a kalappal előtted! Nagyon jól megtanultál magyarul ahhoz képest, hogy a többi nyelv amit beszélsz mennyire különbözik a magyartól.

Tip for you: Go to Vojvodina. It’s the area in northern Serbia bordering Hungary and the Hungarian minority lives there. You can practice both. Subotica is a beautiful city, highly recommended. FYI I saw many many bilingual signs there in Serbian and Hungarian.
Also Zemun is in Vojvodina but it's still part of Belgrade. You can practise Serbian there too. Munze konza😄
From now on, i will treat my languages as a family too 😁

We've got so many languages in common Luca, but I really would like to master the accent, it is something I cannot get rid of
There is no need to master the accent. Simply reduce your accent. If possible use GoogleTranslate or DeepL. Look some words in a Wiktionary. Read from time to time a little about the phonology of your target language. Be aware communication is more important than perfection.
Thanks for these anecdotes Mr. Super Polyglot. And as always Happy Turkish Learning :))

Because of your advices I learnt 4 languages without much difficulties ❤❤
German is the most difficult language in the world 🌎 You will be suffering 😂

As an Estonian my deepest condolences for the pain that Uralic languages (in your case Hungarian) cause 💀
Luka, you have said that you like history. There are two good history channels in Serbian which I would recommend. History corner and history cast.
Learning Serbian through Croatian doesn’t seem to be a big deal. In my view, in terms of grammar and pronunciation, the standard forms of those two languages are comparable to the difference between American and British English, just the vocabulary and script are more divergent.

Bravo Luka! Pozdrav iz Crne Gore. :)
Are your bespoke-made Serbian learning materials posted anywhere?
Hi, Luca! Definitely you look like my cousin lives in Ankara 😊

I also heard how turkish was used in everyday life. When I didn't understand, I wrote and looked up the words. Then I saw some progress.
Luka, in Serbian it's actually better to say vidimo se/видимо се instead of gledamo se.
These are two different meanings.
On se regard. (gledamo se) A la prochene - vidimo se.
Strange! Croatian culture is much closer to the Italian. I wonder if you are learning the language because of the cute girl? Croatian does not have cyrilic letters and is more unique as it uses specific words vs. mishmash of international words and expressions.

You should consider learning Persian(Farsi/Dari). It is such a poetic language.
could you share the audio files for serbian?
