Thank you for keeping it real. Your notebooks remind me of mine. I've got all kinds of notes from lots of different resources and native content. I also start and stop languages all the time. My first language is English, then I started learning American Sign Language (ASL) when I was 5, and within a few years I was fluent. I used to be an interpreter for the Deaf and I love teaching ASL classes. Right now, I'm learning to read Spanish, Korean and Mandarin and dabbling a little bit with Italian. In the past, I've played with French and German and I'm thinking about starting German again, it was a very fun language. My goal with all my non-native languages is to be able to consume native content, especially newspapers, books, vlogs and documentaries.

Would you like to make a video about language learning, not just I grew up in x country so I speak x, did a course in y, etc, but something much more specific, either based on what you actually did, and/or on reflection what you would do differently now given your experience. Eg these are the materials to use to get to level A2, supplement with media, talking, about 50% materials, 50% media talking. etc. I find most of the videos of how I speak 10 languages disappointing as they tend to be just a description of one person's life, but don't add value to a language learner.

My best foreign languages are Hebrew and French. For me the hardest aspect is pronunciation and accent. In both languages, my accent is reasonable, but natives can hear that I am not native. In particular, I have a hard time with the Hebrew reish, especially when there are two consecutive reishes, individual gutterals are ok, but I find two consecutive gutterals hard to pronounce. In French I find it hard to pronounce r and u. Any advice would be appreciated.
@donraitan10 ай бұрын
I can't help much with Hebrew, but with French u [y], I'd say something my French teacher would say: "Say /i/ but your mouth should be in the shape of /u/". I'm sure there are some French-speaking channels which will explain that much better.

My biggest goal for this year is to get my physical health in a better place and to learn how to maintain it. I'm currently dealing with a mystery health condition of some kind and am in the process of figuring out what it is and how I can manage it. Part of this goal is to maintain basic healthy habits while figuring this out, eating regularly and well, drinking enough water, taking care of my hygiene, etc. because as someone with depression and executive dysfunction struggles it can be really hard to take care of myself even when I'm not weak and tired all the time. Overall I'm in a good spot considering all of this (great friends, great partners, great job) but I'm trying to not let myself dismiss the negative things I'm feeling because of this illness while also not getting caught up in and overwhelmed by it. On a more related note, I'm also studying Japanese again. My main goal there is to build habits and consistency while having grace with myself for all the other shit in my life that will inevitably get in the way at points.

Your notes look sooo neat! I mean, the pen colours, the off-white paper shades... I really like the idea of focusing on chunks and expressions rather than single words (lexical approach and stuff). By the way, two years ago I did a webinar on KZread on different ways to organise a lexical journal. Some people may find it useful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i5xhmLt-c660pMo.html My lexical journals follow the principles of BuJo and I find it most convenient now since I mostly keep them on and off and there may be just one exression from a video so I don't feel like creating a new 'chapter' for it.

Hello and Congratulations! I'm a Pole. It was nice for me to listen to your story about the process of learning foreign languages. Some of them I learn too. The first language that I had to learn was Russian. It was taught for 4 years in primary school and for 4 years in secondary school (high school). I didn't like it because I was not good at it and it was compulsory (Poland was at the time in the so called Communist Block and Russian played the role of lingua franca inside the Block). In my secondary (or high) school there was German language for 4 years but it was taught on a rather low level so I didn't get a knowledge enough to talk in it. But during the years 4 and 5 I started also to learn English on my own using a textbook with pronouncing signs (API) and records. The thought of learning English came about due to difficulties in communication with Swedes which I encountered at a summer camp, because they talked only in English and a little German with us, Poles. During my College years I was learning German and English. Then I tried to learn some Swedish too as I liked it very much (it sounds beautiful) but then there were not many materials for learning it. For many years after ending education I was learning English and a little bit of German, but only from time to time and only on my own. During those years I also started to learn French but was learning it for a rather short time as it seemed to me too difficult (especially the conjugation of verbs which is quite difficult). I even tried to learn some Hungarian language, I was even going for classes to learn it better. But Hungarian language is very difficult (it has a very different grammar, it is from another branch of languages, Finno-Ugric) and I had to quit learning it due to lack of time. I used to listen to foreign radio stations to try to understand German and English (1980-ties) and a few years later (1990-ties) I used to watched satellite TV programs. Sometimes I even used to buy German or English Newspapers but they were very expensive at the times. Then times of the Internet have come and it changed everything in foreign languages area. Now there are so many more possibilities of learning foreign languages than ever! Not long ago, the previous year, I started to learn Spanish! I like Spanish but it's rather difficult for me - there are some strange things like 3 equivalents for 'to be' (ser, estar, haber) and quite difficult conjugation. Now I'm 56 and I don't know if I'll manage to learn Spanish language to a level enough for understand everyday texts or talks but I hope so. Now I'm still at a beginner level. Spanish has quite difficult pronunciation too like pronouncing 'b' and 'v' is b at the beginning of a word (Am I right?) or something between b and v and pronouncing of 's' is something between English s and sh. And what about pronunciation of 'll' like in word 'paella' - is it lya or ya? The textbook I've got teaches how to pronounce standard Spanish in Spain but what about Latin America? Could I understand it (similar difficulties occur with different kinds of English although in Polish schools they teach rather British English)? In the end I'm European so I'll learn European Spanish where 'cinco' is similar to 'think' (is it really?)! Tell us also more about Italian language - is it very similar to Spanish or not? What are the differences? As to the method of learning, I learn foreign languages traditional way, using a textbook and a dictionary. I also use free films on YT but they contain not so many material as textbooks. I don't use language applications yet except for an application for learning Korean letters (or signs, I don't know how to call them).
@donraitan Жыл бұрын
I feel like Italian is like "Spanish with French grammar". I'd say this veeeery loosely. Castillian Spanish vs. Latin American Spanish. There are many differences, but I feel like you'd be able to understand most things. Still, I'd always recommend familiarising yourself with different kinds of Spanish, especially everyday content, as it is there that things tend to change the most. Grammar is mostly the same (with some exceptions which are country-specific).

You're the second person whose quoted Christina Aguilera today 🤣Thanks for giving us insight into your setup! I'm working on my planner failures and hope to get back to something that works well soon.
🤣🤣🤣 welcome!
I mean, you're welcome. And welcome. And thanks for commenting. What am I even doing? Hahaha
@@donraitan I mean what are all even doing, ever
@@donraitan I mean what are any of us even doing, ever 🥸
@@stationery.shenanigans right? That's the vibe I'm looking for on this channel
Always love lineup videos and totally cool to change when things don't work! It can be fun and functional!
Glad you liked it!
Love the little useful doodles!
🙌
The Lady Gaga reference made me fly ✈️🔝 I like your simple and functional planning system!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 thanks for stopping by!
Hi~! I'm your new subscriber. I find your contents interesting because you post your language learning and planner related stuffs!
Welcome!
Oh God! I was so impressed when you said that your first language is Spanish. I'm Mexican and my mother tongue is Spanish too. I've been learning English for 2 years and recently I want to learn Korean. I'm so happy to find your channel, you motivate me a lot to keep learning. Thanks. <3 Espero que esto esté bien escrito. 🤭
My native language is English (USA) and I am currently studying 한국어. Honestly I think studying this language has been the most fun I've had in years. It took me a long time to get the hang of reading and writing, but I feel more confident now than I did a year ago. (Even if I still have no clue what is being said.)
Best of luck!!
Your notes look sooo neat! I mean, the pen colours, the off-white paper shades... I really like the idea of focusing on chunks and expressions rather than single words (lexical approach and stuff). By the way, two years ago I did a webinar on KZread on different ways to organise a lexical journal. Some people may find it useful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i5xhmLt-c660pMo.html My lexical journals follow the principles of BuJo and I find it most convenient now since I mostly keep them on and off and there may be just one exression from a video so I don't feel like creating a new 'chapter' for it.
thank you! I'll check it out!
also, I did bujo for years. Maybe I should make a video on that too x
Molto bene!! I don't really know Italian but after watching The White Lotus season 2 I wish I spoke it haha 👌
Gosh, I've yet to watch that show! Hah
I would love to maybe hear about the mechanics of your language learning, like do you schedule it out, track your progress, etc. And maybe some things you do to keep momentum and feel motivated. (especially with working/having a busy life!!) Thank you!
Oh wow this is amazing! Could you do a video about the resources that you use? I feel like Italian and Korean are much easier to learn through Spanish than English (I’m also a native Spanish speaker!)
Me lo apunto, ¡gracias!
Hi! I'd like to see a YT video about how to retain vocab
Noted!
It’s 서른 세 살이에요 😊 10:11
thanksss!
Ουαου μιλάς πολύ καλά ελληνικά επειδή είσαι Ισπανός ! Το ίδιο παθαίνω κι εγώ με την ισπανική μου προφορά 😮😊 Χαιρετίσματα από την Ελλάδα ! ❤
Ma il tuo italiano è eccezionale... Sul serio... Niente parole... You just need to boost your confidence and go with the flow!!!!!
Piano piano... ;)
It's fabulous to find you. I'm also a stationary lover and a language learner. I'd love to see your language techo if you have any.
Not that long ago I posted a video with my language notebooks. Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by and welcome!
@@donraitan Just watched it! It's really good.

Complimenti Ruben, sei d'ispirazione!
Grazie mille!
Hi! What's up? Watching this video was super interesting, I love the way you approach languages. I was wondering if you're looking for a study buddy or if I have ever thought about it. Just in case, Italian is my mother tongue, I could help you hone yours, exchanging with English. Let me know if it's endearing and it could come in handy!
Thanks for the offer! At the moment I'm quite pressed for time, but I'll keep that in the back of my mind just in case 💖 Ho appena pubblicato un video in italiano :)
@@donraitan I've just watched it! As I also commented in your last one, your Italian is fabulous, keep going because you're doing well. You also said you're a teacher. Where can I apply for lessons with you?
@@laurapiranese1418 at the moment I'm not in a position to offer any online classes, but who knows which turns life can take 😉
Oh man, i stopped studying korean a long time ago, now i wanna go back to it, wish me luck!
Same, Camila, same! hahaha I first got into it shortly after SHINee debuted. Heck I even listened to BoA when she started in the early 2000s. WE GOT THIS!!
Also, thanks for stopping by! Feel free to take a look around the channel.
Complimenti! Ottimo lavoro 🤩
Grazie!
Ruben, ce l’hai fatta ❤️❤️❤️ Ti capisco così bene, siamo insegnanti ma tante volte non sappiamo mettere in pratica quello che diciamo ogni giorno 🥲 hai un italiano proprio buono, dobbiamo parlarlo qualche volta ❤
when u speak greek u sound like a native greek speaker. amazing
Ευχαριστώ!!
Hello and Congratulations! I'm a Pole. It was nice for me to listen to your story about the process of learning foreign languages. Some of them I learn too. The first language that I had to learn was Russian. It was taught for 4 years in primary school and for 4 years in secondary school (high school). I didn't like it because I was not good at it and it was compulsory (Poland was at the time in the so called Communist Block and Russian played the role of lingua franca inside the Block). In my secondary (or high) school there was German language for 4 years but it was taught on a rather low level so I didn't get a knowledge enough to talk in it. But during the years 4 and 5 I started also to learn English on my own using a textbook with pronouncing signs (API) and records. The thought of learning English came about due to difficulties in communication with Swedes which I encountered at a summer camp, because they talked only in English and a little German with us, Poles. During my College years I was learning German and English. Then I tried to learn some Swedish too as I liked it very much (it sounds beautiful) but then there were not many materials for learning it. For many years after ending education I was learning English and a little bit of German, but only from time to time and only on my own. During those years I also started to learn French but was learning it for a rather short time as it seemed to me too difficult (especially the conjugation of verbs which is quite difficult). I even tried to learn some Hungarian language, I was even going for classes to learn it better. But Hungarian language is very difficult (it has a very different grammar, it is from another branch of languages, Finno-Ugric) and I had to quit learning it due to lack of time. I used to listen to foreign radio stations to try to understand German and English (1980-ties) and a few years later (1990-ties) I used to watched satellite TV programs. Sometimes I even used to buy German or English Newspapers but they were very expensive at the times. Then times of the Internet have come and it changed everything in foreign languages area. Now there are so many more possibilities of learning foreign languages than ever! Not long ago, the previous year, I started to learn Spanish! I like Spanish but it's rather difficult for me - there are some strange things like 3 equivalents for 'to be' (ser, estar, haber) and quite difficult conjugation. Now I'm 56 and I don't know if I'll manage to learn Spanish language to a level enough for understand everyday texts or talks but I hope so. Now I'm still at a beginner level. Spanish has quite difficult pronunciation too like pronouncing 'b' and 'v' is b at the beginning of a word (Am I right?) or something between b and v and pronouncing of 's' is something between English s and sh. And what about pronunciation of 'll' like in word 'paella' - is it lya or ya? The textbook I've got teaches how to pronounce standard Spanish in Spain but what about Latin America? Could I understand it (similar difficulties occur with different kinds of English although in Polish schools they teach rather British English)? In the end I'm European so I'll learn European Spanish where 'cinco' is similar to 'think' (is it really?)! Tell us also more about Italian language - is it very similar to Spanish or not? What are the differences? As to the method of learning, I learn foreign languages traditional way, using a textbook and a dictionary. I also use free films on YT but they contain not so many material as textbooks. I don't use language applications yet except for an application for learning Korean letters (or signs, I don't know how to call them).
I feel like Italian is like "Spanish with French grammar". I'd say this veeeery loosely. Castillian Spanish vs. Latin American Spanish. There are many differences, but I feel like you'd be able to understand most things. Still, I'd always recommend familiarising yourself with different kinds of Spanish, especially everyday content, as it is there that things tend to change the most. Grammar is mostly the same (with some exceptions which are country-specific).
@@donraitan Thank you for the hints.

Μπράβο σου για τα ελληνικά. Συνέχισε έτσι!
Ευχαριστώ!
I’m a new subscriber. Thank you so much for sharing us important details of your language journey. En mi caso, Mejorar el inglés y después, seguir con el francés.
Welcome!
Ideas: 1- Podrías crear una lista solo para los que aprenden Español, enseñando tips. Por ej. La pronunciación de la “r, rr” cuando su lengua madre es inglés, el artículo fem. o masculino, etc 2- En Español, como mantener varias lenguas de forma real y como lo haces tu, porque hablas muy bien varías lenguas!!!
