      Good for you :), learning a new language opens our horizons. I learned German, French, and now English. I spoke the language of the country that I used to live. Austria, Morocco and now Canada. I speak Polish as well because I polish and I cultivate my language so I don't forget it. I am glad that you are willing to learn polish.

    When i moved to England I didnt speak any english and didnt even bother to learn it since it was too hard for the 8 year old me. I learned english without studying, by just hearing the language everyday where I went. I am learning Japanese now, and I plan to move there at some point because im so in love with the country.

    Cześć, Ryan! Nazywam się Juliano. Jestem z Brazyli. I found your channel last weekend, because I’m studying Polish and I will travel to Poland in May next year to participate in the Polyglot Gathering in Teresin, 30 km from Warsaw. I will be there from May 24th to 31st. Your channel is simply great! The videos are exceptionally well produced, and the content is very rich. You’re doing a great job! Thank you so much! I’m watching 2 or 3 videos per day. I’ve watched a bunch so far. I’m having classes on italki with a Polish teacher, and also watching Easy Polish on RUclips, and using a textbook. Polish is my seventh language. I am a polyglot and a translator. I also have a channel where I talk about translation, but the videos are mostly in Portuguese, another channel for languages, where I am telling in German about my Polish journey, and another channel for a conference that I organize in Brazil, similar to the Polyglot Gathering, but smaller, it’s called Poliglotar. I hope we can meet in May next year, maybe you could interview me, or we could just go have a coffee somewhere in Warsaw. My email is julianotmartins@gmail.com. Do zobaczenia!

    I love watching your videos and your journey in learning Polish. It's indeed not an easy language but I commence your effect. I wish I learned this language as I used to have a violin teacher who was from Poland.
    You're absolutely right, when we speak different languages, we're a different person, and it has definitely earned you your current life and family and all the blessings that come from it.
    Being a Malaysian born Chinese, I speak Malay, English and Chinese, when I speak Malay, I feel like a Malay, when I speak Chinese, I feel like I'm in China, when I speak English I feel like a westerner.
    I've dabbered with other languages as well but I've settled down with learning Hebrew, and when I'm speaking Hebrew, I feel like an Israeli or a Jew even though I'm not one, the language triggers a certain personality or sensibility in us in different but fascinating ways.
    Interestingly, I found that learning different has taught me different aspect of life, for example, English teaches me internationalism and innovation (from a non-native point of view), Chinese teaches me family values such as the famous filial piety. Malay teaches me community and down to earth spirit, and Hebrew teaches me about searching for the roots (being a Christian with shared heritage with the Jews, I'm indeed into searching for the roots of my faith).
    Thanks for sharing your wonderful videos. Keep it up!

    Nicely said Kurt! As a guy, who speaks English and Czech fluently, I am learning Polish and Russian myself, because those are slavic languages and I'd love to speak with my friends in a natural way, because I would consider weird to talk English as a Slav speaking to a Slav. At this point, I am able to slowly maintain simple conversation in Polish and chat with Russian on social media with few pauses, thanks to 1 year of "self-learning".
    RUclips is also my hobby, but after 10 years, I see that this kind of community is hated more and more, thanks to users, who use their younger audience to create stupid trends they can blindly follow, in order to make money.
    In that case, I want to become an omniglot, which is my another life goal that would make me more respected and maybe famous too.
    Besides my current knowledge, I also know alphabets of Ukrainian, Serbian, Mongolian, Croatian, Hungarian language and know, how to pronunce their words (with addition of knowing few of each language), so in my opinion: learning languages is fun and it allows you to connect to certain parts of the world in a more natural way, which gives you more knowlegde about certain countries and also gives you many awesome friends!
    Fun fact: during this moment, I ate barszcz czerwony z uszkami and was writing this comment on RUclips, that is switched to Russian language for educational purposes, as a proof I am deadly serious in learning Slavic languages.

    I'm Polish and I speak English, Russian, Ukrainian and Spanish. I was exposed to Russian and Ukrainian as a child, thanks to my family as I come from mixed family; my dad's from Ukraine, my mom is polish. I was learning 3 languages at once, polish being my native. I started to learn English when I was 5 (now I'm 23). Knowing languages is so useful and freeing, especially when I meet many people from Ukrainie over here that sometimes get lost due to not knowing polish so well. The look in their eyes that someone is willing to help them and spoke to them in their native language despite being so far away from home, is magical! I'm proud to know so many languages and I'm so thankful to my family that encouraged me to learn from the get go!

    I recently took the ancestry DNA test and found out that we Poles are decended from the Sarmatian knights and the Amazon women. We were the first horse people and Rome got tired of us raiding them and forced us to be thier calvary. They would take the sons very young to serve the Roman's army and the daughters were forced to be the warriors and defenders of the tribe. They wouldn't marry until the men eventually returned. The Roman's have busts of the Sarmatian faces and my family looks like these faces 5000 years later, plus I have an uncle that looks like a twin of one of them. If the Poles look up these Sarmatian faces they would see thier family 5000 years ago and be amazed you should do an article for the Poles about this.

We they came to defeat the Sarmatians they were so impressed by their battle tactics plus they but the fear in them that when the battle was over to spare the entire tribe they were force to give all the sons generation after generation to serve Rome till the won thier freedom to go home . They also help alaric sack Rome and claim the land of Poland because the vistogols were hunted and eliminated by the eastern empire

    I whole heartily agree that a second language is a plus. And certainly If you move to another country you should make every attempt to learn that country's language. However, when there is an attempt to force native speakers to acquiesce to the language of an invading illegal horde, that's another matter. Here in California, we are overrun with mexicans and other illiterates from south of the border who expect us to learn their gibberish. I say gibberish because most of what I hear sounds nothing like the true Spanish I heard in Spain.
