Steve es una gran inspiración para mucha gente de mi edad, yo tengo 70 años y aprendí inglés cuando era joven, hablo también bastante italiano, y desde hace 5 años comencé a aprender francés, y ya puedo hablarlo y entenderlo bastante bien, y tengo intenciones de aprender alemán a partir de ahora. Gracias Couch por estos videos y saludos de Argentina !!

Dear Laura, I got to know you through Elsa (Piece of French) I've been following her for a long time, and let me tell you I have learned a great deal of french now, but recently I watched a video with Elsa and you speaking in french and let me tell you, a new and fresh spark of hope lit up in me as far as learning french [the language I am now studying until december of 2023] possibilities that you inspire me a great deal, you make learning languages seem so simple and fun, I think I liked you right away because you have, or rather project so much positive energy and entheusiasm for language learning. I watched your video with OUR "Godfather" of all Polyglots [in my book] Steve Kaufmann, a man I've also been following for years. When I saw you with him in a collaborative video I immediately stopped the video and subscribed to your channel and I am commiting myself to follow you and your teachings in different languages[ I speak nine although my primary goal is to speak twelve even at 66 years of age that I am] with that sweet smile of yours and beautiful eyes , it's hard not to want to heed what you say and all the great tips you give to master any language. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You are a breath of fresh air in the polyglot world to inspire others as you have inspired me also. Blessings.

A FUN video to watch. I could follow almost all of it up to the Swedish … I totally relate to Steve (who I’ve seen on numerous KZread videos) - as I’ve done most of my language learning after 65 … - and I totally relate to you both regarding the “phases” of language learning - with a truly “fun stage” being that initial exposure to a new language over 3-9 months or so, when you are listening, learning the structure - and finally the joy of being able to understand a good bit of what you are hearing (except for, as Steve says - that “other 40%” which consists of much less commonly used words which nevertheless are so VERY important to truly understanding). And it helps to see my favorite polyglots run into similar problems that I have mixing words when doing a “rapid switch” from one language to the next - but still understanding and being able to communicate! THANKS AGAIN to you both for your enthusiasm in all that you both do! - :)

I watched the interview on Steve's KZread channel, and it was great! It's definitely an inspiration for us folks who "only" know a couple of languages haha! I currently live in Japan, but I haven't got a ton of motivation to learn a lot of Japanese. It kinda scares me (and I have a unique living situation in which knowing Japanese isn't totally necessary for me to function here, so that kills the motivation too). But my New Year resolution is to start with an app to learn some basics, and then get a native speaker tutor to further learn! But I also want to maintain my Spanish, continue to take Russian lessons, and I teach English, so that's a lot of languages going through my mind!

In italian you can both say "capire" or "comprendere": these two verbs are synonymous, meaning "to understand". En italiano se puede decir tan "capire" como "comprendere": estos verbos son sinónimos y significan "entender". Muchas gracias por subir este vídeo, siempre disfruto los contenidos de Steve.

Por supuesto "comprendere" tiene también sentidos diferentes respecto a "capire", pero básicamente se dices, por ejemplo, "Capisco quello che dici" y "Comprendo quello che dici" no hay diferencias e ambas oraciones son correctas. Muchas gracias a ti por todos los contenidos interesantísimos de tu canal. Una buona Domenica. 😀

Alguna vez intentaste estudiar musica? tocas algun instrumento? Yo siento que tienen alguna relación, la forma en que uno aprende. Considero que es un lenguaje mas.

It was beautiful to watch the pleasure and passion that you derive from speaking all these languages. Puede que falte de vez en cuando algo de fluidez pero en el fondo no importa. Wat belangrijk is is dat de comunicatie klopt. Und dafür zählt jede Sprache gleich. N'importe pas dans quelle langue nous parlons. On trouve un niveau de communication. Bei Russisch habe ich ja nun gar nichts verstanden, aber es war trotzdem schön zu sehen, dass ihr euch anscheinend verstanden habt und auch Schwedisch ist als gesprochene Sprache doch zu anders als Deutsch, auch wenn man Geschrieben viel versteht. Per supost, les llengues no-indoeuropeos son molt diferents i em passa com a tu, Laura, es un món tan different que jo mateix no arribe a llançarme. En el meu cas tambê es que en senc profundament europeo. Avant d'apprendre una llengua d'eixes segur que començe amb el polac o portugués qui resultan més props a la meua identitat.

Subtitles Bug: If it happens to you (as to me) that the English subtitles seem to be available only for one language, just check the settings --> subtitles --> set English subtitles again. It gets switched off every time you switch from one language to another, but is easily solved that way. Encontré tu contenido gracias a Steve, le echaré un vistazó!
