Cleaning out my language books | Bookshelf tour with a twist
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 апр 2018
- A long awaited bookshelf tour with a twist. I'm always ready for the next adventure and it's good to be prepared in the sense of not having too many books to take with you if you plan on moving overseas sometime. In any case, I'm also interested in minimalism, and cutting down on language books helps me focus on the languages and books I really need, letting go of the others that I may not have touched in years. This video is also somewhat of an archive for me to remember some of these books before I say goodbye to them.

Isn't it smart!!
I am brazilian, so, I use this videos to learn english too 😊
NyaNya Nya cool
Me too. I like her english, she has a nice voice and talks very calmly.
Como é plural falamos these :)
Eu falo Espanhol 🇲🇽 eu amo Brasil
eu também :3
I'm not less impressed with your language learning skills after seeing the number of books you haven't finished, if anything, it just shows how relatable you are! I've got Turkish and Greek books that I haven't even looked inside.
Lol 😂 same. I bought japanese, German and Italian books that I never used since I dedicated time to another languages 🥺. I thought it was the only one.
I’m learning Mongolian, nice that you are learning it too. Defiantly the most underrated Asian language.
Hi！I really want to start learning Mongolian too, but... may I ask if do you know some good books to learn it? I have a hard time finding Mongolian books in English :l
@@wikia3266 It's always the lesser-known languages that are the hardest to find.
I like the fact that you have so many books and haven't used many of them. That honestly makes you more relatable.
I throughly enjoyed this video! I don’t know why I liked it so much 😹 I hope I can obtain a language learning bookshelf that’s similar to yours someday~
I love this video, I am so jealous of your shelf 😅 I need to expand my language library! Love you, Lindie ❤
I am jealous of yourself because of your shelf... Okay I'm leaving.
Same...
Me too i want to buy books
I love language books. Even if I'm not learning the language, they help keep that "spark" of the language learning passion alive in me. :)
5:08 That Thai learning book is AWESOME! It comes with a super audio CD companion too. You should have kept that one!
I am 14 year old I like to study foreign languages now aim learning Spanish french and japanese by my self lindies videos are an inspiration to me to study
That's a lot of language!
Wish you luck
I'm learning correctly
Esperanto and hebrew
日本語の「書き言葉の文法」は難しいので 話し言葉で沢山喋って慣れて下さいね。
漢字は読めるようになって それから書けるようになるといいですよ。書けなくても読めれば十分便利ですから。
I'm 14 y/o too ☺ I luv learning languages too I'm learning English(my native language isnt Eng), Japanese, Spanish and Esperanto currently :D
Hello! I'm Vietnamese. I am learning English, Chinese And Korean now. I want to learn Japanese.
Wow love your collection!
Awesome bookshelves! It's always tempting to get everything for language learning, especially when trying to learn several languages!
You keep inspiring me why I love to learn languages 😘
Just watching this while I reorganise my language bookshelf!
Ohhhh...what an amazing collection!!! 😍😍😍
Firstly I like how you used and marked your dictionaries, I might do that too.
Secondly, that red page for answers in Japanese books is an awesome thing!
Just dropping by to say that I love your videos, even the ones that don't pertain to my target language! Keep up the good work, I genuinely look forward to your upcoming videos :)
loved the video. bought living language set of english for my mom!
It might be hard but you could do a subscriber giveaway or something with them. Just a thought (I'm not saying this because I want a free book, I don't study most of the languages mentioned I just think it's a neato idea).
Aussi c'est bien cool quand tu changes à français, ton accent est très clair :)
Great idea but i donated most of my books to missionaries who are going to Japan - the other books I sold here already :) I cant afford to ship books internationally to subscribers - maybe one day if RUclips pays enough!
You are amazing, so inspiring. Thank you for share with us.
A grant total of “zero” pages ha! 🤣 that made me laugh cause I do the exact same thing
I love this video so much! (just re-watching it for about the 100th time)
Being able to see that you have purchased books and have not used them all made me feel better. I come across books to learn languages, and I don't always use them. 😅 But I can't seem to get rid of them because I plan to use them in the future. Also, my collection of books isn't as extensive as yours. But either way, I get attached to my language learning books so much I haven't gotten rid of any of them.
Hey Lindie! I like your videos and I recently discovered your channel and I’m impressed. My name’s Julio, I’m from Mexico and as you, I’m crazy obsessed for languages. And I like your books. Many of them I download them since I’m poor and aren’t sold in Mexico. But whenever I can, I buy them physically because I like to have them. Anyway, keep up the good work!
WOW! That's a lot of books!
Actually I lookvup to you because you show when you don't advance in learning but still keep going and finding what works for you. I would have abandonned because of that but you make me realize it is normal! so thaannkkss!!
i heard 어머 at 6:34. hahahah
yo i cant stop bingeing your videos!
The episode is beautiful 😊
I got a little bit dizzy trying to figure out how to learn all those languages through your pile of books. You are so beautiful and brilliant. God bless you.
Thank you very much, Miss Lindie.
It inspires a lot to see the textbooks used by you alongside your languages milestone, and how you progressed through all these years.
I hope that i can become like you in the near future (or even better).
let us live up to the best good workings.
حيّ على خير العمل.
がんばってくださう。
6:13 Me with my language books
wow this is amazing 😊
I am Kazakh, but I Russian native speaker I use your videos for learning English. I think you really cool language learner, you are my favorite Language blogger
Relatable, I have a bunch of language books too (some I haven't studied yet)
Why would somebody dislike such a good video!
Rupert Snell's Teach Yourself books for Hindi are fantastic--among the best in the series.
Your books are beautiful
Love a bookshelf tour. I am also distracted by your cute shirt.
Loves the video, but would also like to point out that i love you shirt too!!
This actually makes me laugh because I do the _exact same thing;_ just buying a lot of language books and only using a small handful while others collect dust. 😂
I’ve actually had to tell myself when ever I want to buy another book of language learning “are you ACTUALLY GOING TO USE IT?” And “you have so many books already, don’t. D o n t. DONT.”
Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nai So true! I have actually told myself no more books until I’ve gotten through the ones I already have. Lol! I honestly have every book/tool I need for my target languages!
Idk why but this is kinda relaxing...
Impressive collection. I would love to have a neighbor like you. It is a paradise.
5:04 - 5:08 me with my books... I must be *literally forced* to get rid of my books! Then, I end up needing them once they're gone. @_@
Also when you were speaking in French about the Vietnamese books you got from your friend, surprisingly, I was able to comprehend what you said. Mind you, this is after 3yrs not practicing even the basics! °0°
한국어로 베트남어 첫걸음을 배우면.. 외국어로 외국어를 배우는 거네요 대박
You are very awesome! I'm interested in your language learning timeline, like how long did it take you to be fluent in Korean or other languages
I love KGIU. I have the beginner book.
Nagyon ügyes vagy! :) gratulálok :)
Kedves Lindie!😊 Érdekes volt látni, hogy milyen nyelvkönyveid vannak! Látszik, hogy nagyon jó vizuális memóriád van, mivel sok ideogrammákat (mint pl. a japán kanjik) használó nyelvvel foglalkozol! A szanszkrít nem érdekelne? Tudtommal, beszélik anyanyelvként is Indiában. További sok örömet és sikert kívánok neked a nyelvtanulásban! 😊
I'm like you, beacuse you always study languages!!! Nice to meet you i'm from indonesia!!! 😁
It's fascinating how your accent and inflection changes on certain words.
Q: I'm currently learning korean but I keep remembering the syllables of words in the reverse order. Repeatedly. For example, I would say or write "목과교" instead of "교과목". Even writing that out now was confusing me a little. Is this a common thing? And if so, how can I overcome this problem in the future?
❤️ A big love for your books ❤️ I wish you could ship the books overseas, then I could get. 😢
How you choose the language books. I hope you have a video about this topic. Thanks
Wait... You know french too? How do you have time to learn all these languages? How many languages do you speak?
I have a few videos about that and more details on my website www.lindiebotes.com
My vice is books...every time I pare down it leaves room for ...MORE BOOKS!
I'm hoping to be able to learn Japanese, Korean, and Norwegian. I'm going to start during the summer when I'm not as busy, and I hope it goes well 😅
Any updates?
Btw u inspire me to learn new language
I wanna languages books:/ but super hard to find them! Regards Lindie, I love your videos!
Mariavictoria Ortiz That quite rude .
I live in a small city so It's even hard to find English dictionaries, so you can see.
What are some good Korean and Japanese books to learn Korean and Japanese?
I hope i have some of japanese books like yours.
I was so looking forward to buying these and then I realised... this is the old haircut. Then I checked the comments and it just confirmed that they were gone!
This is my current haircut..?
Lindie Botes Oh! I cant think straight! Sorry!
Its okay 😂sorry I cant ship the books overseas for a giveaway 🌻
Hi lindie , I'm learning Japanese by my own and I would like also to learn Hindi, anyways I was wondering if have you ever taken a Japanese exam? And how long time did it take for you ? And how often did you watched something in Japanese ? Because unfortunately I don't have the time to do the listing every day. I hope it's not a bad thing
Sorry for the long text and thank you very much !
I'm Learning chinese and korean!
Thankyou because study vietnammien😍
how/where are you planning on selling your books?
hi! just wondering what name the book is at 10:18 and where you got it? I've been looking for a good book in Korean studying English in order to learn Korean
Are you going to sell those books because i would buy a few of them
#i do Looove all the books in shelf!!wat place were they got from & the country..
와우~~ 정말로 프랑스어를 배우고 싶습니다 please recommed me which books to read!?!? Thank you
👏🏻👏🏻
I'll take all your Japanese books to go thanks so much! Lol
I NEED YOUR HELP, GIRL!!! I want to buy a russian grammar book, but I don't know wich one is good, wich one you would recommend. What about the Oxford russian grammar book?? Have you heard about it?
Video was posted around a year ago... I wish I could have had some of those books...
Hi Lindie where do you sell your books, i would love to buy living language japanese !!
"Et après ça I have.." Me speaaking franglais on the daily
Salut! Est-ce que tu vends tes livres sur Internet? J'apprends le japonais depuis l'anglais et tes livres ont l'air plutôt cool! :)
I thought I had a lot of language books. I do not think I could part with most or any of my books.
I wonder how long it will take for you to fill that shelf back up
Dankie vir jou eerlikheid! Watter is jou gunsteling tale?
I really enjoyed this video...and you gave me motivation to learn Japanese i hope you see this comment
Should I buy Japanese books to learn Chinese or should I buy korean books to learn Chinese or English books to learn Chinese ?
I don't know where to find the living language series in my country :( Are they good for beginners?
Give me that books that was on the floor :v (joking hahaha).
This video is great! 💖
Your haircut is bomb
I don't have any... I should buy some. But where??? Local stores only have Japanese from Sinhala (my native language). But it's easy to learn Japanese in English.
xD Haha, its not disappointing its the reality. Unfortunately there have been languages that I have taken an interest to that I've bought books for but didn't work out for me because I either didn't have time to take away from my Japanese studies (my current major) or I just didn't stick through with it for very long (Chinese [I have that same book "practice makes perfect"], Korean, re-learning Bulgarian [learning grammar properly and more technical vocab]... etc...)
어머ㅡ에서 빵터졌어요 ㅋㅋ
Сайн байна уу ? Чамайг Монгол хэл сурч байгаад баяртай байна. Hello . I am so happy for you learning Mongolian. Keep going forward and good luck. 😎😎
Our library in my country full of Oxford learning English books
And few French books
The only way to learn other languages is by internet
👏👏👏👏👏👏
저는 개인적으로 白水社의 『ニューエクスプレス』시리즈를 소수 언어 종류가 많고 쉽게 되어 있어서 좋아하는데 린디님 책장에 한 권도 없네요. 한국에 살지도 않고 가 본 적도 없다고 들었는데 한국 책은 어떻게 구하는지 궁금하네요 한국에는 아마존도 없는데. 영어로 된 책이 비싸다고 생각하시나요? (영어로 된 외국어 교재가 한국에서 사기에 비싸거든요)
Eu adoro seus videos ok ????kkkkk
where do you sell the japanese books?
From Mongolia. Thank you for your interest to learn Mongolian. I'm happy :) I would like to help you .
Do start with Polish language or any language in slavic language family
최근에 언어 배우는거에 관심이 많이 생겨서 찾고있는데 저에게 잘 맞는 책을 쉽게 못고르겠어서 고민이에요ㅠㅠ 보통 책들 어디서 구매하시나요?
구립도서관에 자주가셔서 browsing 겸 둘러보시고 인터파크 교보문고온라인으로 검색하고 리뷰도 읽어보고 주문하시면 되죠.
I meant, How can you read all the books ? They contain many many things which I think that may bigger my brain, how can you remember most of them and how do you read them ? Such a persistence you have .. wow
What is the website you mentioned where you can buy Korean books?
MandieThePanda there are great ones at talk to me in Korean
Your collection is just amazing 😭❤️. I wish I could have them. Could you please insert the purchase links for the Japanese dictionar9and books? Either it is an amazon link or any available one. 🙏
I've never bought on Amazon, I'm so sorry! Do you mean the Oxford dictionary? Perhaps try entering the title and seeing if it pops up?
Lindie Botes I was referring to the dictionary of contemporary Japanese, but it is alright thank you. I will definitely search for them online. Thank you for the video. 🙏❤️
Ooh I got that one at a second hand store but it seems pretty famous so I am sure it'll be on Amazon! 🌸
Lindie Botes thank you. Some books that are purchased in Japan can be difficult to find online. I am hopeful I will be able to find online. ❤️
