    Honestly my motivation is just that it’s cool. I think it’s so impressive when people can speak more than one language. I don’t need to be fully fluent, it’s just a dream of mine to be able to carry a conversation in German competently

    People don’t understand how amazing it feels when you just passively understand things in another language. I’m learning Spanish right now and randomly I just understood some of despacito and it was a song I’ve heard for so many years but Ive never understood it before it was like “en la playa en Puerto Rico” and it was so cool how I could perfectly understand it without even trying it made me so happy it’s a completely amazing feeling different than any other

    Right now I am currently learning Dutch, my motivation is that I am a big fan of a boyband from the Netherlands called Fource. I first heard them when they represented the Netherlands in Junior Eurovision 2017 and thought nothing of it. Last year I rediscovered them and found that they still make music. Most of it is in Dutch and it's really cool! It got me wanting to learn the language, so I could understand their music and their videos or social media posts. Now I have branched out and watch a lot of tv shows/films in Dutch, youtube in Dutch, and have found more great Dutch music. Currently, I find that I can understand a lot of Dutch spoken in videos and such without having to figure out what every single word translates to, I can read some short sentences in Dutch, but I struggle with communication in Dutch whether that be spoken or typed.

On the other hand, I think speaking english is a worth tool to get better work and academic oportunities around the world.

    I’m pretty sure no one will see this but I am learning languages because as a young Puerto Rican/African American/German I sadly was kind of robbed from my own cultures. Due to living in America I never really got the chance to learn my own traditions, let alone speak my own languages :( I have such a high passion for Spanish and French. I look forward to learning more of it everyday. I have a friend who speaks, reads, and writes in fluent spanish and he helps me out. I hope to learn 5-6 languages after college. I want to help out in poor countries (preferably Guatemala and other under poverty spanish-speaking countries) and I hope to find a spouse who also speaks a native language to help me retain my spanish/french speaking.

    My biggest motivation was to become like you because you seemed so happy with learning all those languages in that viral video. I wanted to be familiar with different cultures and how language affected them and visa versa. I took a French class but no one around me spoke french so it was a bit a waste of money, but five years later I bought Le letit Prince and started studying again ^_^ I also took a Spanish class last year, I want to visit South America so much, hike or ride a bike all along the continent kind of like Che Guevara did. But because of the economic crisis I won't be able to visit neither France or America for a long time probably. I'll keep dreamin'.

    I speak French and Spanish reasonably well and am comfortable learning new languages. I'm a Van Gogh specialist and decided to take a Dutch language course at the University of Toronto. I thought it would be a nice courtesy to speak to Van Gogh people in the Netherlands in Dutch. It was terrible. Dutch is a nutty language. I didn't come back for any follow up courses. I admit I was a bit lazy and thought "Aw, every Dutch person speaks great English anyway."

Learn Languages with Netflix is good as well, but that's probably for the more advanced learner. And for the grammar there is a youtube channel called Russian Grammar. Although I'd say you should wait with the grammar till you have an alright vocabulary, that'll make it easier.

He has trouble with the Rs which can be heard right away, but that has little impact on someone understanding you.
