Yeah, I agree with Olly. I think that if you get to a strong advanced/intermediate level and then stop practicing, you are going to lose fluency, but you will never lose the language completely
I was pretty much fluent in French, Dutch and English at the age of 11-12. I live in Belgium, Wallonia (French part of Belgium) 95% speaks French) But I lost my fluency in French because of my old and little brother, I basically always talked in French to my grandparents because they were better at French than Dutch, but since my older brother and younger brother can't even speak French nor English, my grandparents only talked in Dutch to us. And so I rarely used French since then. In school, I hated French lessons because they were too easy and unnecessary for me, because I thought, "I'm already fluent in French." And so, 7 years have passed without a single word of French.. and now I need to study my own language again I've been speaking for 10+ years. I've had a few accidents with memory loss so this could've probably influenced my languages. I still can listen to conversations but can't make sentences. It'll come back when I start studying. (After my Japanese and Spanish language course)
So true, either go hard (until intermediate) or go home, as you’ll then never lose the language. Was my experience with Mandarin (was between C1-C2 level), where it would only get rusty but never lost (listening and reading was always great, writing was always good, and speaking was a bit awkward if not maintained). And the Anki comment really hit home, as it really helped improve my German, but caused a burnout during the process. I had to switch to something like Lingq which acted kind of like a spaced repetition system without the dreadful burnout side effect.
I feel like it's kind of like running/exercise in a way. If you exercise for a few weeks and stop, then start again, stop, etc (in a cycle) without ever getting to a decent high level of fitness, you can end up back at square one really quickly. Whereas if you at least train your body to a decent level of fitness the increase in V02 max or muscle mass takes longer to lose AND is easier to maintain than at lower levels because of the so called "muscle memory" that makes it very possible to bounce back after breaks/injuries. I barely ever run but since I've done TONS of running in the past it doesn't take me long at all to get back to a decent level, and even without running and just doing other exercise I seem to be able to get back into decent running shape fairly quickly. Same with my muscle mass/strength, which has fluxuated up and down by about 10lbs or so over the last few years (though has never atrophied back to an untrained level). Haha I hope some of that makes sense. Anyone else thing this is a reasonable comparison? I feel like fitness principles have a lot of carryover into language learning (like consistency, progressive overload (which is similar to Stephen Krashen's n+1 idea about constantly pushing yourself to go a little beyond where you are).
I kinda feel what they said. I studied Spanish in high school but then when I went to college I started Chinese and stopped maintaining my Spanish. 2 months ago I decided to restart studying Spanish, and it turned out that even if I lack vocabulary and conjugaison, I still can understand reading and listening very well.
My wife’s aunt is a German born citizen of the USA. She left Germany in 1960 at 22. She simply hadn’t spoken German for a half a century when she went back to the land of her birth. She was shocked, she couldn’t speak German. She could read and write it but she couldn’t understand what was being said nor could she form a sentence. 3 days in she dreamt in German and her fluency came back in her mother tongue. You truly must practice a language.
I feel that thing about 3 days. I have a degree in French and Spanish and then I didn’t use anything for 10 years. Italki recently had a contest, so I started doing a whole bunch of classes. Three days in, the door opened and my French and Spanish came back.
I worked with Tai Lopez, and one of the things about him that stands out from working with him is that he constantly made sure to provide education, so I've got some valuable tips for you. Here's what I learned, working with him. All three are the same tip. 1. Motivation, as we know it, is a bit of a myth. What ever you continuously do, whatever you keep up as a habit, will begin to feel itself becoming a motivation. 2. Interests. You're interested in things you're used to seeing. When I met my wife, she had no interest in marketing, but now it's something she thinks about regularly, and she now works with the same types of people I work with. It was just through regular exposure that this changed. You've probably experienced this when you read or listen to a book, and suddenly it sparks a new passion. As long as it feels organic, exposure to new ideas or habits will change your interests dramatically. 3. Taste in food. Your taste in food is based on what you're used to eating. If you find yourself eating only a few select foods regularly, and you're a picky eater, it's for the same reason that you have trouble generating interest in things.
But with 3 it's a mixture of what you said plus a genetic element. There are food that I never liked that I now like, but I know there are foods that I'll never like.
Brilliant clip, far too much pressurising and comparison nowadays in the polyglot world which can take the enjoyment out of the process. Looking forward to more of these chats 🤟🏼
I understand we should have goals and such, but in my case, I noticed that my goals actually brought me down while learning Mandarin, mainly for 3 reasons: 1 - They were somewhat vague 2 - They were somewhat irrealistic 3 - They were based on someone else's achievement I mean, goals should help us keep focus, but when we have a goal like "be fluent in 2 years" and in 2 years we are not "fluent" as we expected to be, we get really frustrated. I had no goals with English whatsoever when I first started learning it and yet I reached fluency in 2-3 years without putting any effort whatsoever, I would just binge-listen to music and binge play video games and that was it, 2 years later I was able to talk to natives with no halt. Be careful with your goals. And don't compare yourself to others, if you do: be fair. What mother tongue does that other person speak? Does this person work? Go to school? Have friends who speak the language? has the same problems as you do? Probably not. Comparing is rarely fair, it's usually just harmful. I even used to compare myself to Ikenna and I would simply get frustrated as he seemed to achieve things easier and quicker than me. Later on, I realized I was not being fair with myself and instead of comparing myself to him, I would merely allow myself to admire him and be inspired by him, that's all. Do the things you like in the language you are learning and do it often. That's the golden key to fluency.
I stopped learning Portuguese. After some years I'm learning it again. I have lost fluency but it hasn't been much. The two main reasons are: 1. My native language is Spanish so most of the words are in my mind thanks to the similarities between both languages. 2. I got to an intermediate/advance level before stopping. With my French, it took me longer to get my fluency back. In fact, I think I've gotten a little better now than before I had stopped learning it. I'm getting to an advance level. I still consider myself an intermediate learner in French. The only foreign language I haven't stopped practicing is English. That's why my fluency has never decreased.
I think the part about making it fit into your life is pretty important. I use English and German at work. Speaking with my family, it's almost exclusively Igbo. Since I enjoy Swedish shows, I typically watch stuff in Swedish, but hardly ever speak. I listen to Russian folks music pretty much daily, and read short stories in Russian too. My French is pretty much non-existent at this point since it doesn't quite fit into my life as smoothly as the others. Since there's no external pressure like school to maintain a certain level, I prefer having some sort of harmony in my life, so it never feels like work.
Ikenna, what I would love to see a video about is learning uncommon or dying languages. Ones such as Native American languages, or Hawaiian, or Māori. Languages where it's difficult or sometimes even impossible to find a tutor/language coach or someone to practice speaking with in general, where a lot of the only resources are primarily books and maybe a few videos. i don't know whether or not you have any experience learning these types of languages, but I would love to know how you would suggest tackling such situations. Thanks for all that you do; you're a big inspiration!
I found that losing motivation wasn't to bad for me. I learned swedish to a low level and then lost motivation. This happened a few times. Each time I came back i felt like i learned the stuff better each time i came back.
Ikenna, I’m going on VR Chat now! Would love to meet you! Come to Japan World. (jk you don’t need to come on 😂). In all seriousness I’m so glad your health is doing better. I was quite worried. I am applying much of your advice for learning Spanish and hopefully in the future I will be able to talk to my Spanish relatives with ease. Take care! ☺️
I've wondered this! I guess I assumed most people would sink back to B1 or possibly be able to maintain B2, assuming they got to like a C1 level. My Russian is still really low (like A1+ or A2 at best), and I feel like if I stopped now I'd be back at A0 in a year. I've heard though that once someone gets to a certain intermediate level it's much harder to forget (at least back to square 1) and can be recalled. Haha as I'm listening this is basically exactly what Olly is saying. Do you think that being at a C1-C2 level is much more "protective" in terms of memory than B1-B2? Or is intermediate and above generally enough to prevent total loss after a period of time?
Good to see you mann, I'm not here to drama but it's great to see multi language teacher/speaker content creator as still up, i really wish laoshu505000 still alive
IM HEREEEEEEEE Also I know this may not be seen but, I want to say thank you to this community and Ikenna for inspiring me to learn multiple languages, I personally just hit conversational fluency in Italian and im starting my Japanese journey. Thank you everyone for inspiring me
I relate to this a lot. I started learning japanese at the beginning of this year and it was going really good until I had the desire to actually use the language. However, It was kind of hard to make this reality which is why I put in on halt until I find ways of how to use the language.
I am joking. (cue to laugh) Seriously though, surely you can pick up phrases or sentences, and with a bit of practice most of what is being spoken. However, French (save Romanian) is the most distinct of the romance tongues, and thus you shouldn't have much trouble, specially considering how... peculiar French phonology is.
Wow that’s hard man …. I spend 3 years learning french in high school I got somewhat good but now that am out of highschool…. Idk man. My mom learned french when we were in Canada only for like a year or somewhat. My family that lived in Canada knows french but they says that now and days not many people use it. I live in Texas and ya….. not many people only here to talk to. I haven’t watched a french show or done anything lately to keep my french. I don’t know anyone or having anything to learn french for. Heck as a matter of fact I think am start to learn Japanese since I am more interested in the Japanese culture or even Korean. After hearing this video …. Maybe ur right. If am really not going to use it then am just drop the language which is a shame ……
I can confidently say I have a high level in English and Spanish, Spanish being my mother tongue, And I really mean cuz these are the only two languages I speak, And the learning will last all my life till I die, Cuz in my native tongue there are two words I recently learned, These are SOSLAYAR, MOKITA. I might learn a third language but not in the near future, I feel tempted to learn Portuguese but to be honest I don't think I'll use as much as English and Spanish
wouldn't just reading 30 minutes per day in one language and then the next day moving to the next language, etc. do the trick? That would at least be exposing you to your languages that you don't use often every couple to few days and I would think that would go a long ways to keeping them much more cemented.
I don't even think you lose it completely at an upper beginner level. I used to study Icelandic in high school. I think I got to an upper beginner level at best. I recently tried to study both Icelandic and German. I ended up finding Icelandic easier.

Hello can i suggest that you react to “filipino teen speaks 18 languages”, i know that this is not a reaction channel, but i just wanna see how would you react
As a native English speaker, it's almost impossible to not be able to use English wherever you are in the world. Not just because it's an international language, but if you want to watch movies and TV shows an absorbent amount of them are from English speaking countries. A lot of people's grandparents that I know that immigrated to the United States have either forgotten their native language or can barely speak English depending on how integrated into the country the decided to be.
I am Irish - Luxembourgish. I have lived between Luxembourg - France - Ireland. I speak English / French / Luxembourgish / German. I am currently working on Italian because I love Italy and want to live there at some point for the better part of a year minimum. I also have Portuguese / Russian / Irish / ASL on my list. All of these are interesting to me. I plan on finding a way to practice these per immersion of some kind because it's the only way I won't cop out 😄😅 I removed all other languages that I wanted to learn for not good enough reasons (useful on the CV - so many people speak it... ) as they don't create the needed motivation.

@@samihaaraisa that’s also very cool!! I’m learning Spanish in school right now, but plan to try and learn more on my own due to language classes in school being horrible, but I also want to learn others after :D
I love you ikenna

As a native English speaker, it's almost impossible to not be able to use English wherever you are in the world. Not just because it's an international language, but if you want to watch movies and TV shows an absorbent amount of them are from English speaking countries. A lot of people's grandparents that I know that immigrated to the United States have either forgotten their native language or can barely speak English depending on how integrated into the country the decided to be.
Challenge! learn danish.
I am Irish - Luxembourgish. I have lived between Luxembourg - France - Ireland.
I speak English / French / Luxembourgish / German.
I am currently working on Italian because I love Italy and want to live there at some point for the better part of a year minimum.
I also have Portuguese / Russian / Irish / ASL on my list. All of these are interesting to me.
I plan on finding a way to practice these per immersion of some kind because it's the only way I won't cop out 😄😅
I removed all other languages that I wanted to learn for not good enough reasons (useful on the CV - so many people speak it... ) as they don't create the needed motivation.
Portugese 🇵🇹.......
