If I had a nickle for every time a giant language-based youtuber uploaded a video going over a specific method of learning languages / course type thing in the last 40 minutes, I’d have two nickles, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
😅
Nickel…
If I had a pickle… lol.
I’m talking about you and Xiaoma btw

Paris/mallorca in few weeks. I learned Spanish with Olly and Harry Potter books. Switched to French 7-8months ago. Thanks olly. Please more books in each language
As a result of a previous video that Olly made, I am now studying Brazilian Portuguese very hard. I really appreciated the clip of his convo with a Brazilian.

Português é o melhor idioma.
é muito estranho quando alguém acha a nossa língua materna estranho, mas é o que é Português
As someone who started Portuguese br ~2 and a half years ago, I would say.. it is still difficult 😂 although it does get easier and easier. My #1 tip (if you haven’t done this already) is look at the endings of words in English and then in Portuguese.. and your translator uses br portuguese, atleast in 99.9999% of the time so don’t worry about that.. anyway some example. Helped (ed) ajudou (ou) and most words that end in ed in English will end in ou in Portuguese. Or ei.
Ajudei (ei = I helped)
Ajudou (ou = he/she helped)
Ajudaram (am = they helped)
Nós ajudamos (os = we helped
Words ending in tion (action, reaction, transformation) almost always end in çao (acção, reação, transformação). (Ções For plural acções , reações, transformações)
There are a lot more endings of the words depending on how you use them of course I would say don’t stress over them but most you won’t hear in every day life.. just reading books and it might be rare to see some forms.. but if you come across an ending you don’t know, write it down and pay attention.
Anyway just think of random English word endings and do what you did here this helped me soooo much I can’t explain it.. the amount of words that end in ei, ou, am, çao, os and a few others. With the simple word endings that are almost always the same like every tion word ending in çao, it makes things so much easier!) sorry this is so long.. I’m even cutting it short.. but I would also add the br Portuguese to your phone and turn word suggestion and the emoji recommendation on. Believe it or not, this is very helpful. Especially when you don’t know how to spell a word it can help. Just make sure to check the word cause some words will trick you and your mind will think it means something it doesn’t. I can’t think of an example.. but there are some words that we have in English.. they don’t mean the same thing whatsoever lol. And emoji recommendation.. you might accidentally spell a word wrong and find another word and see the emoji and go oh huh I didn’t know this meant sad 😢
@@bellamortsos sons são estranhos 😂 mas também é muito divertido né. Inglês não é uma língua divertida, mas é útil.
This are my fav types of videos , keeps
Me motivated to learn
Awesome! Thank you!
When in mallorca last year the guy at the restaurant asked adentro o afuera and I responded adentro like it was English, I was over the moon. And I kept talking in Spanish to him. Love it
It’s funny as I went to Paris last week and I literally did the first couple of steps. Basically I put together about 40 tourist specific phrases I needed and practised them everyday for 2 weeks leading up to the trip. The confidence I had was amazing.
That is awesome!
Olly I’ve reached a really decent level in Spanish with many resources, but StoryLearning really pushed me through my latest plateau. I’m a nurse, so French is my next endeavor (Doctors Without Borders is a dream of mine). Wish me luck! As always, great video!
You got this! 💪🏼
This vid describes me preparing for the everyday life as a person on the spectrum.
Can do a Video about if Vietnamese Is really a hard language I’ve seen you do ones about Chinese And Korean and Japanese and since Vietnamese 🇻🇳 has a similar culture to China 🇨🇳 and the words are also similar I would greatly appreciate it if you could make a video about if Vietnamese 🇻🇳 is really a hard language Ty for your time to read this.
I’ve been “studying” Norwegian just through duolingo, but also self study things like listening to music, watching tv/movies/youtubers, reading books, writing things, etc, since 2020, but this entire time I’ve never once actually used it with another person. Just this month I got to visit Norway for the first time, and the first few times someone spoke Norwegian to me I froze up… and started responding in Spanish 😳 Which is very funny considering I’ve basically never actually “studied” Spanish, but I’m picking it up a lot purely through immersion and use at my job, so my brain is extremely used to it now and I couldn’t convince it to switch out of Spanish speaking mode! Meanwhile I could read everything in Norwegian I came across on signs/etc with ease because my vocabulary and reading skills are very strong. My stay was VERY short, only one full day, and very hectic, but I did manage to have some proper interactions in Norwegian that I was proud of (and some terrible misunderstandings too) by the end of it… But it’s definitely made me more curious to try to improve my practical language skills through better means and next time I’m able to go be able to actually talk to local properly and unlock experiences I wouldn’t have been able to this time.
Fun, signing, stories and backpacking around the world!
Cheers, Olly!
This video is PERFECTLY timed for me
Thanks Olly:)))
Hi, Olly! These tips are great–even for someone who has been studying a language for a while but hasn’t traveled to a country where their target language is the official language. Learning how to navigate in the country is a separate skill set from knowing how to have conversations with language exchange partners or tutors. You have to learn new language islands, and intentional practice is key. This summer I’m heading to Jordan for two weeks and I’ve been studying the language for 3+ years now in my spare time. I’ll be using some of your tips to get ready, as I’m much more comfortable talking about life with native speakers than ordering food in a restaurant or communicating with a taxi driver. Shukran jazeelan!

So Mr. Bean 😂😂😂😂
When I went to China I wasn’t fluent but I’d picked up quite a few words and phrases after hanging out with some Chinese friends in my home country. It was so helpful and it also enriched my interactions with Chinese people wherever I went. My proudest moment was being able to order a small ice cream in Chinese without pointing to the picture on the menu and being understood. I still feel so proud of that little moment. Another proud moment was being able to understand and to thank a very kind and delighted taxi driver who helped me and three Chinese people when our bus to the Beijing airport didn’t arrive. My limited Chinese helped me not to miss my flight to Hong Kong!
