💜 ABOUT ME:
Hi and welcome! I'm Tanya and the only thing I like more than learning languages is probably talking about learning languages (well, that and hoarding language books).
My native language is Russian and I'm currently in different stages of learning English, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Korean, and Japanese.

    @@Rana22222 If I'm honest, I haven't use Duolingo. I use Bussu, because I can send my exercices to natives speakers and they tell what I did wrong. Textbooks: I use them because they also give me an idea in wich level I'm in, I also want at same point do the international language test, I want to learn grammar. It's depends on you, maybe you only prefer an app because you can't stick to do a lesson on paper because it's boring or you prefer something more interactive. if you want a honest review ask Tanya in her next video because I don't know those Spanish books, I only can reccomend you English and French textbooks.

    Thank you for this video. I'd love to see your French books in more detail. If you make another video on books, please tell us the publishers of your favourite books. Sometimes I could see a logo on the front cover, but if you like the look of one, it can be helpful to find more resources of the same kind in another language in their catalog. The books I've seen from East Asia in your other videos are so physically attractive. I lived in Japan for a while, and love the style of supplementary texts (not main grammar texts so much).

Akademia Pana Kleksa is the set book. The movie was great. Great book is for children who learn how to read, for example Beata Ostrowicka "Moje pierwsze czytanki" or Czytanki Sy-La-Bo-we Anna Sójka. I've bought both ot them for my little daughter, who will be learn read. In Poland small child learn read through syllables.

    Hi! From what I understand German is different from English in that it can have SVO structure in some cases (although the V2 word order rule can override that) and SOV in other cases (like subordinate clauses, for example), whereas English is an SVO language. I am in no way an expert on German grammar though!

    Hey! If you ever get round to greek, I have a bunch of suggestions of great resources that I've used 😀 most of them are in greek but you seem to be used to that so it won't be a problem after you've gotten past the very beginner stages 😊 With the book that you've got, I recommend checking the date of it because greek changed fairly recently in quite a lot of ways, I'm not sure the exact date but I think like the 80s (maybe later), but if the words in your book have more than one accent (unless it's just a few words), then chances are it's old and you'll want a new book Here's some of the books and resources I've used that I've really liked - GreekPod101 to get to an A1/2 level Then Ελληνικά Α which is a textbook In greek for A1/2 Now I'm using Κλικ series which goes from A1 to c1 and also the ελληνικά β book which is B1 but the series doesn't go further anymore There's also an absolute must which is free online called something like greek grammar for beginners a1-2 which explains the basic grammar in English which was amazing for me because I've never learnt a language with cases before Anyways,I'm sure this won't be useful for ages haha but maybe one day! Greek is a beautiful and wonderful language + I really enjoy your videos and your style, it's very calming 😊 Best of luck with all of your languages
