That's what most spanish speaker say to me, but when the topic gets complicated, i don't understand it all. So saying that someone is good in some language can be a lot of things I suppose.

You're actually one of the very few polyglots who show the real side of a polyglot's learning schedule. The most ones upload videos where they're seeking so much attention. I've been watching you since the beginning and you've been real through all this time and I really appreciate your work. Because all this language acquisition is a result of hard work and process. Not many people actually show to their audience their textbooks or tell them info like how many hours I read or mention their language level. As for the videos and their content, you've actually helped me a lot, because I've been learning languages too but I'm a lil bit younger and such advice has been always welcome. I had once focused so much on languages like Ancient Greek and Latin, ending up to study the actually spoken languages passively like the previously mentioned ones. But I've again found my way. Keep rockinnnn!
that's because German is way harder of a language and that's why no one in the language community learns it🤣 but don't feel bad cuz I have been learning German for about a year and can't even form a sentence
It depends a lot on your method and whether it works for you. After Russian, Japanese, and Korean, I find German relatively (and refreshingly) easy. By listening to beginner material from Deutsche Welle and practicing speaking with Michel Thomas and Language Transfer, then talking to myself in German, and finally practicing conversation with italki tutors, I was able to develop basic conversational skills. Just don't be too concerned with saying everything perfectly correctly: That destroys self-confidence and prevents learners from being able to say anything. Even after many years, I'm shy about speaking French with anyone but a paid tutor because I don't like my pronunciation. I don't have that baggage with all of my languages, fortunately. Here's a method that works for me for speaking skills: I pick a topic, read a list of vocabulary words on that topic, pick a few useful but difficult words to memorize (but not the whole list!), write conversation questions in my target language and how I would answer them, and then practice conversation on that topic with a tutor. Even if those particular questions don't come up in the conversation, I still find it to be good preparation. Memorize corrections from the tutor and practice the same topic with another tutor, then another. Then change topics and start over. After a few rounds with different topics, I start to gain confidence and speaking becomes less difficult. With German (this was last year), I stopped after two topics and switched to a different language. If I had continued this way, I'd be speaking at a solid intermediate level by now. I'm sure there are other good methods out there that accomplish the same thing. Through trial and error and/or combining different methods and resources, you'll find your path. This is what Lindie does, and that's why she can pick up Spanish (or even "difficult" languages) more easily than most people.
Thank you for the advices! I really appreciate having fellow polyglot. Even though I have been learning German for years I speak : Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Catalán and English. Thank you very much

I do 1-2 lessons of All in One Spanish every Saturday. ARE ALL OF THESE LANGUAGES HARD To juggle, YES. Hell yes.😂✊🏾 Why?🤔 Personally, because I had lacked discipline, routine, and proper study methods. Lindie Botes and Steven Kauffman, helped me to smooth all of that drama out.😂 I'm also reading this book called, "How to study", so to improve my study methods. Now, as far as progress,In as little as two weeks, since I've started RElearning Korean, I've learned over 20 korean verbs and 20 short phrases, thanks to TTMIK. My ability to retain information, the second time around, has improved alot. (With ALL LANGUAGES) I was PETRIFIED to learn more than one Language at once until I discovered Lindie And Steven, and many more, on RUclips. Their progress has been very motivational and each of them has spent YEARS on some languages. I think Lindie said she's been learning Korean for about 10 years, in total. MY ADVICE IS: 1. Push pass fear. 2. Develop a study plan 3. Start small if it'll ease your anxiety. 5 words each Language a a day/a week and etc 4. Don't beat yourself if you forget it, just review it again 🤷🏾♀️ It'll eventually stick. Just like how we have to tell Children something more than once sometimes, until it's integrated. Anyway, I think it is possible to juggle many Languages you just have to stick with it. Ok. I'm done. 😂 It's getting pretty lengthy.😂😂😂 ✊🏾🖤💜 #Study Smarter Not Harder😁
Here is a tip from the MyLangs RUclips channel: 'When you get to the advanced pojnt of a language, it would be very hard to forget.' And remember this, (a tip from me:) Immersion is very important. And think of how long it took you to learn your native language from birth. You were immersed and surrounded by the language, weren't you? And it took about a few years to talk more fluidly, right? Mhm!😊☺
Yes Some kids speak REALLY WELL by age TWO.😬 As if they are FOUR OR FIVE. With other kids they don't speak alot until around age four but they understand Alot. So, I kinda Imagine that as adults, we could cut those times in half because we have already learned ONE Language. (Native)
Your videos have helped me a lot in learning a language. And I’m really thankful for all of these great tips and facts about language learning, because I love learning languages but sometimes i didn’t have the knowledge of how to start or where to go when learning a language. And now my goal of being multilingual seems very possible because as of right now I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese and I’m learning French. Thank you so much!
I love the Hungarian update the best. 🇭🇺 It’s really especially interesting and awesome when polyglots learn languages not usually given much love. Nice progress, Lindie! Inspirational as always. 😎👍🏻
I like these update videos a lot! On the one hand they're just super fun and inspiring and I immediately want to dive into my language learning materials after watching them. And on the other hand they are also such an honest reflection of how goals change and focus shifts but it's still possible to enjoy the journey. I have such a hard time not being disappointed with myself when I don't meet my studying expectations (and I guess most of us feel that way), but it's not just about which goals you set January 1st but also about enjoying the actual studying. Why is that so easy to forget sometimes haha. Again, it's so so so inspiring to see your video's no matter how much or how little progress you make in a specific language so please continue making these! Groeten uit Nederland!
J'adore ton nouveau style des vidéos - je pense que c'est très bien d'au moins essayer de dire comment ça passe avec toi et toutes les langues que tu parles EN LA LANGUE PARTICULIÈRE ❤️ Bises de la République Tchèque, t'es la meilleure. 😘
I honestly admire that you can learn so many languages at the same time. For me it's difficult to study more than one at a time, but lately I've been mostly learning Korean and somewhat passively maintaining Spanish. I feel a bit frustrated that I lost so much of my Spanish and Finnish skills. It would be easier for me to practice Spanish on a regular basis considering I have friends that are native speakers, but Finnish isn't that easily accessible. I already find it confusing to think or speak at times because I keep forgetting words in all languages, including my native one. 😂 Je pense que le français est surtout difficile pour l'écriture car contrairement à l'espagnol, on ne prononce pas toutes les lettres. Bon courage!
It's not easy! I also struggle with motivation, mixing languages and making mistakes. But it's a fun journey! Good luck with your Finnish, that sounds so difficult!!
@@user-ik9pk4gg7q Moi Anni! Olin vaihto-oppilanas Suomessa vain 12 vuotta sitten! I used to be at an intermediate level with Finnish language but I struggle to remember words. I still understand well when I read or listen but speaking is just 🥴 I recently watched season 2 of Sorjonen and apart from the technical terms related to investigation/police work I could understand fairly well what was going on.
@@user-ik9pk4gg7q I'm not sure how we are supposed to write in private on RUclips 🙄 but if that might help to get in touch and write in private, my instagram is reea_viita!
Loved hearing you speaking hungarian! It warms my heart when I see foreigners learning this extremely difficult, but beautiful language. I'm also happy to see that you loved Testről és lélekről! You might also like Liza a rókatündér (Lisa the Fox-Fairy) Here's a correction for the hungarian part: 'Hétfőn és csütörtökön csak magyarul tanulok.' 'Hétfő és csütörtök az én magyar-tanulós napom/napjaim. '-the second one sounds less natural, 'my hungarian days' doesn't translate really well to hungarian, but we still understand what you meant here, it's not a big mistake :) the first sentence, however is perfect, you can just say that instead. I hope this helps :)
I'm so glad you're prioritizing Vietnamese! I'm totally enchanted with it. I have the same book of Vietnamese Stories; you can download the audio files from Tuttle's website. It's Northern dialect, which is good for me, but maybe not so good for you. I'm holding off because it's a bit above my level, and I'm working on my conversational vocabulary first. When I need to learn how to say "to prostrate oneself abruptly", I'll go here first. If you want to geek out on Chinese loan words or final particles, the brand new Routledge book "Vietnamese: An Essential Grammar" is a great resource.
I really like how much effort you're putting into learning languages (taking tests, classes online, textbooks, etc). I've seen many "polyglots" on YT who would only like know a few memorized sentences in 10 languages and then later clain to speak 20 languages.
may I ask where you're from out of curiosity? I studied Turkish a bit myself, and having studied korean helped me a lot with the grammar/vocal harmony. I' from France btw ^^ good luck with your learning journey!
Szia Lindi! :) Tök jól beszélsz magyarul, csak így tovàbb! I really enjoyed this video! I really like that you actually speak in the languages that you are learning instead of English!
Nice progress Lindie! Love your dedication to studying. My lang prog - Actively studying Korean, Japanese - Maintaining Mandarin Chinese Thinking I'll sprint Spanish this fall since my latina mom is mad jealous I spend all my time with Asian languages 😂😂😂
I love these kinds of videos that you make because I get to cheer for you and get excited on your progress as well as motivate me to continue my own language learning, despite the many struggles 💛💛💛👍🏽 great job!
I'm learning English since December 2019 and I love to practice my listening with your videos!! perhaps I'm binge watching your channel too much because right now I really want to learn Korean (I just know the basic-basic) but anyway just wanna say you're an inspiration to me 💙
This is encouraging--I often read that humans should concentrate on only one language at a time but I'm learning four--two focus languages and two less-of-a-priority-but-just-as-fun languages. And then I'd really like to learn Persian. Thanks for being an inspiration!
カメラに向かって一人で話すだけでも難しいのに、色んな言語でペラペラ喋れるのは本当に尊敬します✨I’m also doing Lingoda since I saw u on RUclips and getting much better with my german skills!! また私は以前ハンガリーに住んでいたので、なんだか懐かしい気分になりました😊これからも応援してます！頑張ってください❗️
¡Tu español es muy bueno! He hablado español toda mi vida e incluso a veces me confunde un poco, además, cuando aprendí inglés me di cuenta lo complicado que debe ser aprender español. Me enorgullece escucharte hablar tan fluido, ¡sigue así!
Good Luck Lindie on your languages. Your Spanish progress is very good. I am currently learning spanish, arabic, and brushing up on my vietnamese. But really just spanish and arabic because my vietnamese is probably the best out of the three. I hope you can meet your goals. Good luck!
Hi, Lindie! So as I'm writing this, I'm a little under 1/2 way through the video and just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to continue my journey of learning Norwegian! Tusen takk 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I am fluent in English and Spanish because of my family and now I recently just started learning Korean on my own, I’ve been studying for almost half a year and i have loved it so much, of corse it has its difficulties but I love it and I’m excited to soon start learning more languages once I am better at Korean, your videos have been one of the things that have kept me motivated and I’ve gotten most of my tips and techniques from you so thank you 🤍🤍
My language goals this year... I've been focusing a lot in Russian, hope to get to a B2+ in a few months, right now I can understand about 90% in movies and youtube videos, and can speak at work, but I really want to get to the upper levels soon. My Japanese is on maintenance mode right now, just seeing movies and reading, but quite frequently. There aren't many Japanese speakers where I live, so I try to keep it as fresh as I can. After I finish with Russian, I'll focus more on Arabic, now I can use it at work, but outside of my work enviroment I am lacking vocabulary, so I hope to get at least to a B1 by the end of the year The rest of my languages are on super low maintenance, I like seeing movies every now and then... Thanks for everything, I like seeing how other language learners use their time ;) I've always tried to keep nice and pretty notes like the ones you have, but I am terrible at it haha
Русский, японский и арабский? По-настоящему сложные языки. Терпения Вам и удачи ❤️ 頑張ってください

Hello from Vietnam. Love to see you here 🥰🥰 and practice Vietnamese together. Ive been watching your channel for a long time and now I’m starting to learning Chinese. Thank you so much so your tips and motivation.
Hi Lindie! Good to see you, you look gorgeous!! you are such an inspiration, currently I am leveling up my spanish then going to take up french or swedish
Love this type of video from you to get a peek behind the veil! This is also really motivating for me - I've been slacking off on my languages the past few weeks! I'm personally at a B2 plateau en español, and keep kicking back and forth between beginner German, Russian, and Uzbek
I'm currently in the middle of the Lingoda super sprint for french(which I was able to sign up for thanks to your reminder back in June). I haven't missed a day yet but my internet didn't work so well on the second day so I missed the first 4-5 minutes, so I'm pretty sure I already lost the refund, haha but so far I'm making good progress and I might be able to move up to the intermediate lessons in a few weeks. Your videos help me to stay motivated and are so helpful, thank you for everything :)
Congratulations on all of your language progress! Can't wait to hear how your scores comes out. I've been focusing my time this year improving my Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek. Greek has been, by far, the most challenging. Still, I've been practicing every day and seeing slow, but steady progress :)
I’ve been learning Spanish since ~April...no words can describe how amazing it was when I turned the subtitles off when you spoke Spanish and I totally understood...it was beautiful 😂
Hi Lindie, thanks for the video! I don't know other languages but as for French I just wanna say that you've improved sooo soo much in your speech since last year! You sound very fluent & natural. It's totally visible that you're spending time with a 'francophone.' You've very blessed to have such a lovely friend who not only talks & hangs out with you but also dedicates her time to correct your writings
Yeah, Vietnamese has diacritics so the pronunciation is kinda hard. But I think you can do it cause you've learned a lot and you're super talented. Fighting, Lindie !! 😊💜 P/S : I'm super happy that you decided to learn Vietnamese. Your videos are very inspiring and motivate me to learn new languages.
Guys if anyone here needs help with Hindi, you can ask me questions by replying to my comment. You're welcome. And yes, in India, the script is drilled into our brain so the best way to study it is by writing it again and again. And we have different letters for *sh* but they all sound the same. But don't switch the letters while writing anything. Good luck!!
I'm so amazed at how fast you learn! You're like 'hey guys, I recently started this language!' and you're already able to speak in it and not only say some typical textbook phrases. I guess it shows that the way you approach language learning is really productive compared to schools or something haha, because I feel like there you're always taught to use set phrases and not to actually express YOURSELF in that language
you are such an inspiration ! you seem so dedicated ! engels is my eerste taal, afrikaans is my tweede taal en ek is besig om sweeds (swedish) te leer ! thank you for the motivation :)
Thanks for the great video, Lindie. It's the 1st time to write a comment here, but I am always motivated by you. I started 2 languages this year , Spanish and Indonesian. The same to you, I'm learning Spanish on Lingoda, hopefully I can get the process like you after the sprint challenge.
I'm learning Korean Mandarin Chinese Spanish and Thai and I have a hard time staying motivated to do languages when everyone tells me I should be doing smt useful like maths and it has worked I haven't studied for months and I feel terrible about it but when I watch your videos it really gives me back motivation and inspiration to keep it up so thank you so much
I'd hear other foreigners speaks Spanish even after months of learning it, and you had mostly none of the accent that comes with it!! It's amazing!! 💙💙 I'm trying to keep up with my Japanese, start learning again French and study for the IELTS. It's hard between everything but you're such and inspiration!! Thank you so much!!
It-s an inspiration to see how are you progressing on your goals. Thank you for the video ^^ By the way, your Spanish accent is reallly good. You are doing an amazing job.
I love the message but also the design of ''Let Your Glory Fill this house''. Having seen Lindie's design work, I would not be surprised if you yourself produced this, Lindie! I can see a definite link there between a love for design and the beautiful penmanship in languages with an interesting script. Very inspiring!
How the hell are you THAT disciplined???!!! No way can I trust myself to juggle multiple - no matter how many times I say "maintenance mode" lol Respect!
Lindie, gyönyörűen beszélsz magyarul,öröm hallgatni! ^^ Kiválasztottad magadnak a világ 2- vagy 3. legnehezebb nyelvét, és kifejezetten szépen és helyesen beszélsz, ami külföldieknek nem könnyű, sőt! Sokan úgy tartják, hogy magyarul csak mi magyarok, és Isten tudnak beszélni, de jól megtanulható ez külföldiek számára is ;) És köszönöm a nyelvtanuláshoz a tippjeidet, nekem is hasznosak, mert én épp spanyolul tanulok. Még kezdő vagyok, A1-A2 szint határán, de azon dolgozom, hogy jövő nyáron már B2 szinten legyek. Folytasd kérlek a videózást, és számolj be magyarból a fejleményekről, kíváncsian várom őket! Dalma
For me, it's really hard getting time to study more than one language, I can barely study even one, not to talk of three of four. For those who can, you should feel proud of yourself, and work harder in your goal☑️
Your Spanish is impressive! you're an inspiration to all language learners out there. I can barely keep up with Japanese (Intermediate) and Korean (Beginner). I don't count English since that's kinda my second native language.
My language goals this year are Japanese korean and mandarin! Its really motivating hearing you speak korean 💜 btw your Spanish is really good, it’s pretty understandable
Historias Perdidas is a great Spanish podcast if you like history. The Spanish is easy to understand, it runs around 20mins per episode and the speaker is great to listen to.
Nagyon boldog vagyok, hogy magyarul tanulsz! Sokk szerencsét kívánok és remélem egy nap fogsz tudni folyékonyan beszélni! (Bocsi, Slovákiaból vagyok, a magyarom nem nagyon szuper 😅)
Hello ! I am so glad that you are going to learn Burmese coz I am from Myanmar ^^ I used to watch your videos and these make me motivated to learn new languages. Currently , I am learning Japanese , Chinese , Thai and Korean . but my main focus is Japanese and Thai ^^ Hope u can learn Burmese well **
I'm still getting settled in my new place. I havent properly studied Korean in over a month. I feel like I'm going crazy. I can't wait to get back into it
Lindie you have no idea how happy I am to hear you can't study new languages for more than 30 mins. I don't mean that in a bad way, I thought there was something wrong with me and that I was just too lazy, but I too cannot concentrate on new languages for more than 30 mins. Languages I already know I can study for hours but new information assimilation is more difficult for me. Thank you for sharing this struggle with us!!
For anyone reading this comment, I wish you the best in your language journey(s?)
Same to you! Thanks for the lovely message!

Even if those particular questions don't come up in the conversation, I still find it to be good preparation. Memorize corrections from the tutor and practice the same topic with another tutor, then another. Then change topics and start over. After a few rounds with different topics, I start to gain confidence and speaking becomes less difficult.

Lindie Botes and Steven Kauffman, helped me to smooth all of that drama out.😂
I'm also reading this book called, "How to study", so to improve my study methods.
Now, as far as progress,In as little as two weeks, since I've started RElearning Korean, I've learned over 20 korean verbs and 20 short phrases, thanks to TTMIK.
My ability to retain information, the second time around, has improved alot. (With ALL LANGUAGES)
I was PETRIFIED to learn more than one Language at once until I discovered Lindie And Steven, and many more, on RUclips.
Their progress has been very motivational and each of them has spent YEARS on some languages.
I think Lindie said she's been learning Korean for about 10 years, in total.
MY ADVICE IS:
1. Push pass fear.
2. Develop a study plan
3. Start small if it'll ease your anxiety. 5 words each Language a a day/a week and etc
4. Don't beat yourself if you forget it, just review it again 🤷🏾♀️ It'll eventually stick.
Just like how we have to tell Children something more than once sometimes, until it's integrated.
Anyway,
I think it is possible to juggle many Languages you just have to stick with it.
Ok.
I'm done. 😂
It's getting pretty lengthy.😂😂😂

#Study Smarter Not Harder😁
I love that you leave in cuts where you make mistakes. I find it so encouraging :)
Here is a tip from the MyLangs RUclips channel:
'When you get to the advanced pojnt of a language, it would be very hard to forget.'
And remember this, (a tip from me:) Immersion is very important. And think of how long it took you to learn your native language from birth. You were immersed and surrounded by the language, weren't you? And it took about a few years to talk more fluidly, right? Mhm!😊☺
Thanks for the tip!
@@antonio_090 You are welcome! No problem! Take care.
Yes
Some kids speak REALLY WELL by age TWO.😬 As if they are FOUR OR FIVE.
With other kids they don't speak alot until around age four but they understand Alot.
So, I kinda Imagine that as adults, we could cut those times in half because we have already learned ONE Language. (Native)
@@nicoleraheem1195 Ahh! I have no idea what you just said, but you are right.
@@nicoleraheem1195 Oh, I get it! And I agree! We should.
Your videos have helped me a lot in learning a language. And I’m really thankful for all of these great tips and facts about language learning, because I love learning languages but sometimes i didn’t have the knowledge of how to start or where to go when learning a language. And now my goal of being multilingual seems very possible because as of right now I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese and I’m learning French. Thank you so much!
I love the Hungarian update the best. 🇭🇺
It’s really especially interesting and awesome when polyglots learn languages not usually given much love. Nice progress, Lindie! Inspirational as always. 😎👍🏻
I like these update videos a lot! On the one hand they're just super fun and inspiring and I immediately want to dive into my language learning materials after watching them. And on the other hand they are also such an honest reflection of how goals change and focus shifts but it's still possible to enjoy the journey. I have such a hard time not being disappointed with myself when I don't meet my studying expectations (and I guess most of us feel that way), but it's not just about which goals you set January 1st but also about enjoying the actual studying. Why is that so easy to forget sometimes haha. Again, it's so so so inspiring to see your video's no matter how much or how little progress you make in a specific language so please continue making these! Groeten uit Nederland!
Everytime I feel down about my languages, I watch your videos and get all the inspiration I need. Thank you!
12:38 is literally the most relatable moment out of all the language youtubers I’ve ever watched lmao I luv Lindie such an icon ❤️
@I like beans onceeee ❤️
J'adore ton nouveau style des vidéos - je pense que c'est très bien d'au moins essayer de dire comment ça passe avec toi et toutes les langues que tu parles EN LA LANGUE PARTICULIÈRE ❤️ Bises de la République Tchèque, t'es la meilleure. 😘
I honestly admire that you can learn so many languages at the same time. For me it's difficult to study more than one at a time, but lately I've been mostly learning Korean and somewhat passively maintaining Spanish. I feel a bit frustrated that I lost so much of my Spanish and Finnish skills. It would be easier for me to practice Spanish on a regular basis considering I have friends that are native speakers, but Finnish isn't that easily accessible.
I already find it confusing to think or speak at times because I keep forgetting words in all languages, including my native one. 😂
Je pense que le français est surtout difficile pour l'écriture car contrairement à l'espagnol, on ne prononce pas toutes les lettres. Bon courage!
It's not easy! I also struggle with motivation, mixing languages and making mistakes. But it's a fun journey! Good luck with your Finnish, that sounds so difficult!!
I'm finnish if u want to speak w me!! I'd love to help u cause I know it's really hard
@@user-ik9pk4gg7q Moi Anni! Olin vaihto-oppilanas Suomessa vain 12 vuotta sitten!
I used to be at an intermediate level with Finnish language but I struggle to remember words. I still understand well when I read or listen but speaking is just 🥴
I recently watched season 2 of Sorjonen and apart from the technical terms related to investigation/police work I could understand fairly well what was going on.
@@user-ik9pk4gg7q I'm not sure how we are supposed to write in private on RUclips 🙄 but if that might help to get in touch and write in private, my instagram is reea_viita!
@@laurence2391 they did the dialect in Sorjonen so bad that I couldn't bare to watch it but it's good if it helped u
I speak Portuguese and I was able to understand quite well your Spanish!! Great work!!
Loved hearing you speaking hungarian! It warms my heart when I see foreigners learning this extremely difficult, but beautiful language. I'm also happy to see that you loved Testről és lélekről! You might also like Liza a rókatündér (Lisa the Fox-Fairy) Here's a correction for the hungarian part: 'Hétfőn és csütörtökön csak magyarul tanulok.' 'Hétfő és csütörtök az én magyar-tanulós napom/napjaim. '-the second one sounds less natural, 'my hungarian days' doesn't translate really well to hungarian, but we still understand what you meant here, it's not a big mistake :) the first sentence, however is perfect, you can just say that instead. I hope this helps :)
Don't know why but hungarian gives me more satisfaction than any other language, even though I am still lousy. Feels like a real achievement
Wow I’m so happy you are interested in learning burmese 🇲🇲 !
Szia Lindie nagyon örülők , hogy az anyanyelvemet tanulód ! Sok sikert továbbra is! 😊💯
I'm so glad you're prioritizing Vietnamese! I'm totally enchanted with it. I have the same book of Vietnamese Stories; you can download the audio files from Tuttle's website. It's Northern dialect, which is good for me, but maybe not so good for you. I'm holding off because it's a bit above my level, and I'm working on my conversational vocabulary first. When I need to learn how to say "to prostrate oneself abruptly", I'll go here first. If you want to geek out on Chinese loan words or final particles, the brand new Routledge book "Vietnamese: An Essential Grammar" is a great resource.
Gyönyörű a magyar kiejtésed! ❤️👍👏 Annyira jó hallani, ha valaki a mi anyanyelvünket tanulja és beszéli!
I really like how much effort you're putting into learning languages (taking tests, classes online, textbooks, etc). I've seen many "polyglots" on YT who would only like know a few memorized sentences in 10 languages and then later clain to speak 20 languages.
Actively studying; Uzbek, Russian, Dutch
Maintaining mode: Turkish, Spanish
On and off; Kyrgyz
What resources do you use for Turkish?
may I ask where you're from out of curiosity? I studied Turkish a bit myself, and having studied korean helped me a lot with the grammar/vocal harmony. I' from France btw ^^ good luck with your learning journey!
i was born in the netherlands but i’m turkish so i know both dutch&turkish i wish you lots of luck like they’re both really hard😭😭
Wow those are some unique languages you're studying. I don't know of anyone who's studying Uzbek and Kyrgyz.
I can help with dutch if you need help!
Oh My God! You are even learning Burmese!!!! Thank you! And wish you good luck!!
"Hoy hablamos" es un podcast español muy bueno. Yo lo usé durante mucho tiempo. Creo que te podrá ayudar con tus estudios.
Ty
gracias! estaba buscando por este comentario👀🙏🏼
@@itschostudies5407 de nada! lo puedes encontrar en spotify tambien;)
Gracias. I'll try it. I've already subscribed to so many podcasts lol
Es en España español o latinoamericanos español?
Wow your spanish accent is really on point! Because of you I am more motivated than ever to learn German!
Minden elismerésem , újra és újra emelem kalapom !
Szia Lindi! :) Tök jól beszélsz magyarul, csak így tovàbb! I really enjoyed this video! I really like that you actually speak in the languages that you are learning instead of English!
Nice progress Lindie! Love your dedication to studying.
My lang prog
- Actively studying Korean, Japanese
- Maintaining Mandarin Chinese
Thinking I'll sprint Spanish this fall since my latina mom is mad jealous I spend all my time with Asian languages 😂😂😂
I love these kinds of videos that you make because I get to cheer for you and get excited on your progress as well as motivate me to continue my own language learning, despite the many struggles 💛💛💛👍🏽 great job!
I'm learning English since December 2019 and I love to practice my listening with your videos!! perhaps I'm binge watching your channel too much because right now I really want to learn Korean (I just know the basic-basic) but anyway just wanna say you're an inspiration to me 💙
what's your native language?
@@mileshoney9818 it is Portuguese
Your English is amazing, keep it up! 😊👏
@@ViviZafir thank you so much!!! 💜🥰
This is encouraging--I often read that humans should concentrate on only one language at a time but I'm learning four--two focus languages and two less-of-a-priority-but-just-as-fun languages. And then I'd really like to learn Persian. Thanks for being an inspiration!
カメラに向かって一人で話すだけでも難しいのに、色んな言語でペラペラ喋れるのは本当に尊敬します✨I’m also doing Lingoda since I saw u on RUclips and getting much better with my german skills!! また私は以前ハンガリーに住んでいたので、なんだか懐かしい気分になりました😊これからも応援してます！頑張ってください❗️
¡Tu español es muy bueno! He hablado español toda mi vida e incluso a veces me confunde un poco, además, cuando aprendí inglés me di cuenta lo complicado que debe ser aprender español. Me enorgullece escucharte hablar tan fluido, ¡sigue así!
Impressionante! Eu consigo entender tudo através do meu português.
Good Luck Lindie on your languages. Your Spanish progress is very good. I am currently learning spanish, arabic, and brushing up on my vietnamese. But really just spanish and arabic because my vietnamese is probably the best out of the three. I hope you can meet your goals. Good luck!
Hi, Lindie! So as I'm writing this, I'm a little under 1/2 way through the video and just wanted to thank you for inspiring me to continue my journey of learning Norwegian!
Tusen takk 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Lindie your Spanish accent it's excellent, so neutral and natural, it's so clear, keep on it! Greetings from Mexico ✨
I am fluent in English and Spanish because of my family and now I recently just started learning Korean on my own, I’ve been studying for almost half a year and i have loved it so much, of corse it has its difficulties but I love it and I’m excited to soon start learning more languages once I am better at Korean, your videos have been one of the things that have kept me motivated and I’ve gotten most of my tips and techniques from you so thank you 🤍🤍
My language goals this year... I've been focusing a lot in Russian, hope to get to a B2+ in a few months, right now I can understand about 90% in movies and youtube videos, and can speak at work, but I really want to get to the upper levels soon.
My Japanese is on maintenance mode right now, just seeing movies and reading, but quite frequently. There aren't many Japanese speakers where I live, so I try to keep it as fresh as I can.
After I finish with Russian, I'll focus more on Arabic, now I can use it at work, but outside of my work enviroment I am lacking vocabulary, so I hope to get at least to a B1 by the end of the year
The rest of my languages are on super low maintenance, I like seeing movies every now and then...
Thanks for everything, I like seeing how other language learners use their time ;)
I've always tried to keep nice and pretty notes like the ones you have, but I am terrible at it haha
удачи)
@@svetaova3931 спасибо!
Русский, японский и арабский? По-настоящему сложные языки. Терпения Вам и удачи ❤️ 頑張ってください
Hello from Vietnam. Love to see you here 🥰🥰 and practice Vietnamese together. Ive been watching your channel for a long time and now I’m starting to learning Chinese. Thank you so much so your tips and motivation.
hoy descubrí que un gusto culposo de Lindie es grabar videos.
Congrats! your spanish accent is amazing!
Hi Lindie! Good to see you, you look gorgeous!!
you are such an inspiration, currently I am leveling up my spanish then going to take up french or swedish
Love this type of video from you to get a peek behind the veil! This is also really motivating for me - I've been slacking off on my languages the past few weeks! I'm personally at a B2 plateau en español, and keep kicking back and forth between beginner German, Russian, and Uzbek
I'm currently in the middle of the Lingoda super sprint for french(which I was able to sign up for thanks to your reminder back in June). I haven't missed a day yet but my internet didn't work so well on the second day so I missed the first 4-5 minutes, so I'm pretty sure I already lost the refund, haha but so far I'm making good progress and I might be able to move up to the intermediate lessons in a few weeks.
Your videos help me to stay motivated and are so helpful, thank you for everything :)
Congratulations on all of your language progress! Can't wait to hear how your scores comes out. I've been focusing my time this year improving my Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek. Greek has been, by far, the most challenging. Still, I've been practicing every day and seeing slow, but steady progress :)
I’ve been learning Spanish since ~April...no words can describe how amazing it was when I turned the subtitles off when you spoke Spanish and I totally understood...it was beautiful 😂
Hi Lindie, thanks for the video! I don't know other languages but as for French I just wanna say that you've improved sooo soo much in your speech since last year! You sound very fluent & natural. It's totally visible that you're spending time with a 'francophone.' You've very blessed to have such a lovely friend who not only talks & hangs out with you but also dedicates her time to correct your writings
Yeah, Vietnamese has diacritics so the pronunciation is kinda hard. But I think you can do it cause you've learned a lot and you're super talented. Fighting, Lindie !! 😊💜
P/S : I'm super happy that you decided to learn Vietnamese. Your videos are very inspiring and motivate me to learn new languages.
I am from India and still learning Korean. Very thankyou for inspiring me.
Seeing burmese in a video get me so excited 🥺🥺🥺
Guys if anyone here needs help with Hindi, you can ask me questions by replying to my comment. You're welcome.
And yes, in India, the script is drilled into our brain so the best way to study it is by writing it again and again.
And we have different letters for *sh* but they all sound the same. But don't switch the letters while writing anything.
Good luck!!
I'm so amazed at how fast you learn! You're like 'hey guys, I recently started this language!' and you're already able to speak in it and not only say some typical textbook phrases. I guess it shows that the way you approach language learning is really productive compared to schools or something haha, because I feel like there you're always taught to use set phrases and not to actually express YOURSELF in that language
“Perdón por el spanglish” it’s quite a good podcast, it’s not about learning languages but it can help you with your Spanish pronunciation.
you are such an inspiration !
you seem so dedicated !
engels is my eerste taal, afrikaans is my tweede taal en ek is besig om sweeds (swedish) te leer !
thank you for the motivation :)
Thanks for the great video, Lindie. It's the 1st time to write a comment here, but I am always motivated by you.
I started 2 languages this year , Spanish and Indonesian.
The same to you, I'm learning Spanish on Lingoda, hopefully I can get the process like you after the sprint challenge.
Good luck for your learning process on Hindi.... Wishes from India🇮🇳
I am from Burmese and I haven’t see in RUclips who learn Burmese but when I saw you like planing to learn my mother language I was like 🤩🤩🤩🤩
I'm learning 6 languages at the moment - love your videos 😊
Woah that sounds like a lot of work!
Wow isn't it hard... but keep the faith nd the good work u can do it 💜
Damn girl good luck!
Wow good luck! Which ones are you doing?
whichhhhhhhh oneeeesssssss pleaaaasseee
I'm learning Korean Mandarin Chinese Spanish and Thai and I have a hard time staying motivated to do languages when everyone tells me I should be doing smt useful like maths and it has worked I haven't studied for months and I feel terrible about it but when I watch your videos it really gives me back motivation and inspiration to keep it up so thank you so much
Your videos always give a huge motivation boost 🥰 you're such an inspiration I really do look up to you
I'd hear other foreigners speaks Spanish even after months of learning it, and you had mostly none of the accent that comes with it!! It's amazing!! 💙💙
I'm trying to keep up with my Japanese, start learning again French and study for the IELTS. It's hard between everything but you're such and inspiration!! Thank you so much!!
you're such an inspiration Lindie! You encourage many (including me) to keep up the hard work, so thank you so much
It-s an inspiration to see how are you progressing on your goals. Thank you for the video ^^ By the way, your Spanish accent is reallly good. You are doing an amazing job.
Szia, Lindie! Tetszik, hogy maszkban voltatok, amikor az utcán beszélgettetek a barátoddal. :) Bárcsak mindenki hordaná a maszkot. :)
I love the message but also the design of ''Let Your Glory Fill this house''. Having seen Lindie's design work, I would not be surprised if you yourself produced this, Lindie! I can see a definite link there between a love for design and the beautiful penmanship in languages with an interesting script. Very inspiring!
Thank you for noticing! I did make it but it's far from anything professional - I just enjoy writing sometimes!
This kind of videos are super exciting! Thank you for sharing this!
Nagyon sok sikert!💖🥺
I've been jamming out to Snotkop for about a month now he's teaching me well.
How the hell are you THAT disciplined???!!!
No way can I trust myself to juggle multiple - no matter how many times I say "maintenance mode" lol
Respect!
Lindie, gyönyörűen beszélsz magyarul,öröm hallgatni! ^^ Kiválasztottad magadnak a világ 2- vagy 3. legnehezebb nyelvét, és kifejezetten szépen és helyesen beszélsz, ami külföldieknek nem könnyű, sőt! Sokan úgy tartják, hogy magyarul csak mi magyarok, és Isten tudnak beszélni, de jól megtanulható ez külföldiek számára is ;)
És köszönöm a nyelvtanuláshoz a tippjeidet, nekem is hasznosak, mert én épp spanyolul tanulok. Még kezdő vagyok, A1-A2 szint határán, de azon dolgozom, hogy jövő nyáron már B2 szinten legyek.
Folytasd kérlek a videózást, és számolj be magyarból a fejleményekről, kíváncsian várom őket! Dalma
For me, it's really hard getting time to study more than one language, I can barely study even one, not to talk of three of four.
For those who can, you should feel proud of yourself, and work harder in your goal☑️
Recently found your channel, I just started learning Swedish and your videos and advice has really helped me out
Her Korean skill is almost perfect! I can guarantee it
Your Spanish is impressive! you're an inspiration to all language learners out there. I can barely keep up with Japanese (Intermediate) and Korean (Beginner). I don't count English since that's kinda my second native language.
Wow Lindie you work so hard 🙌🙌 You are such an inspiration 💖 You helped me a lot with languages, thank you so much 😍💕
My language goals this year are Japanese korean and mandarin! Its really motivating hearing you speak korean 💜 btw your Spanish is really good, it’s pretty understandable
Omg I really want to speak whit you in real life in hungarian becouse you speak so good! Csak így tovább nagyon ügyes vagy!
선생님 안녕하세요?선생님 5급을 얻을 위해서 어느 책으로 얼마나만큼 단어들을 외워야 돼요?조언을 할수 있어요?
Hello! I'm from Mexico and for a beginner your spanish sounds really good!! I love your videos :)
tu acento en español ha mejorado muchísimo 😍 enhorabuena!
Historias Perdidas is a great Spanish podcast if you like history. The Spanish is easy to understand, it runs around 20mins per episode and the speaker is great to listen to.
Nagyon boldog vagyok, hogy magyarul tanulsz! Sokk szerencsét kívánok és remélem egy nap fogsz tudni folyékonyan beszélni!
(Bocsi, Slovákiaból vagyok, a magyarom nem nagyon szuper 😅)
Woww Lindie..I’ve been a big fan of u since I started learning korean. I didn’t know that u also speaks BURMESE which is my native language actually❣️
Ok, grité un poquito cuando te escuché hablando español porque es muy genial ¡has avanzado mucho! 👏👏👏
You are such an inspiration for me! Thank you ❤️
Hello ! I am so glad that you are going to learn Burmese coz I am from Myanmar ^^ I used to watch your videos and these make me motivated to learn new languages. Currently , I am learning Japanese , Chinese , Thai and Korean . but my main focus is Japanese and Thai ^^ Hope u can learn Burmese well **
You learn South Vietnamese accent. That is really cool
It's tricky but I find it easier than Northern!
Lindie Botes maybe you should try middle accent, for example Hue or Quang Ngai accent 🤣
I'm still getting settled in my new place. I havent properly studied Korean in over a month. I feel like I'm going crazy. I can't wait to get back into it
I'm Mexican and your Spanish is really good, Lindie! 😊😊😊😊🌸
Nice work Lindie, you're an inspiration.
Tu español es en realidad muy bueno!! Que sigan los éxitos!!!
¡¡¡Tu español ha mejorado muchísimo!!! No creo que tengás acento de extranjera, la verdad. ¡Impresionada por tu progreso! ❤
Lindie you have no idea how happy I am to hear you can't study new languages for more than 30 mins. I don't mean that in a bad way, I thought there was something wrong with me and that I was just too lazy, but I too cannot concentrate on new languages for more than 30 mins. Languages I already know I can study for hours but new information assimilation is more difficult for me. Thank you for sharing this struggle with us!!
your videos make me want to study all day
I'm trying learn korean..... But when I see you upgrade I just get more inspired.... ☺☺
