I completely agree with dabbling & making connections. I’m learning French with my daughter while also learning Spanish independently and I was told that it was kinda a “no-no” for beginners because of the similarities. However, I have actually found it extremely helpful and my Spanish knowledge has complimented my French learning.
@@LindsayDowLanguagesEnjoyed seeing you and hearing your enthusiasm about dabbling in languages. Recently downloaded several free books of various Australian languages because, why not?!🎉😊
This is a good video. Different people have different goals. If dabbling is all you need to accomplish your goals, then there is nothing wrong with dabbling.
It's hard to keep up with all your language learning exploits over the years. Now it's Maltese. I hope you have fun. I think maybe I've been following about close to 10 years.
The paradox is that while technology has made it possible to learn any language, at the same time it has made language learning redundant. As long as you carry your smart phone with you, you can talk to anyone, regardless of the languages you can speak. You can serf the Internet sites in any language, you just translate the page into your language. Only videos in unfamiliar languages remain inaccessible, but subtitles are becoming more and more common. Of course, you can keep learning languages as a hobby, your free time is yours. I have the same hobby and I do not plan to stop learning languages, no matter how far technology goes. 😃
I guess the thing that is left after technological spaces have achieved better and better translation systems is the old-fashioned human connection and being able to understand another culture more deeply. I’d like to hope technology will never be able to replace that

Happy to see you 😊. I completely agree with you ma'am. Lot's of love from India ❤
This is reassuring, i dabble in all the ones i come into contact with with, because it is interesting...
Absolutely! There's no rule that says you must reach C2 in every single language you're curious about! Keep enjoying your languages :)
