    This video outlines my motivation for learning Foreign Languages and where it all began for me growing up and going on family holidays to Spain and Mallorca and hearing Spanish in person for the first time. Watching Laoshu 505000 (Moses McCormick) was also very fascinating to me when I was in Secondary School, around 15 years old. I thought it was so cool he could speak so many languages. I also talk about my experience at University living and working in a very international environment and hearing different languages being spoken every day. I also talk about learning German and the joy it brought me speaking it when I was traveling in Mexico. Lastly, I touch on my current motivations for learning languages and my plans to travel in the future.

    Das Video hat mir doch so viel gefallen. Ich hab auch ein ähnliches Erlebnis gehabt als ich nach Kolumbien in 2014 geflogen bin wo mein Onkel lebte, und ich war total überrascht wenn er mit seiner Familie auf Spanisch gesprochen hat und mit mir auf Arabisch und wir konnten alle auf Englisch unterhalten. Sprachen sind mega cool insbesondere wenn man mit Leuten auf mehr als eine Sprache unterhalten kann.
    Love ur geilen videos ♥️

    Well as it says: “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart”
    I have recently also started learning German and when I tried to speak in German with a lady from my yoga class, you could defo sense genuine joy when someone makes effort to understand your native language. People seem to be more willing to emotionally connect with you if you speak their language.
    Although, it always freaked me out when someone tried to speak with me in my native 🇷🇺 language, so I guess I’m an exception.
    Anyways, удачи в изучении русского. Язык, конечно, с прибамбасами, но что есть, тем и богаты 🌈 Нужна будет помощь - зови 😸

    Bangla is my mother tongue and English is my second language but I treat it as my first. My Spanish learning journey started from Dora the Explorer :v very cringe but I am honestly very grateful too. I also got to learn Hindi involuntarily while watching TV shows. My parents hired a tutor so that I can learn Arabic. I learnt French in my university. And now, I'm learning German so that I can move to Germany for my master's degree and get a job as a UX/UI designer.

    Since you studied German because of your mechanical engineering degree, you probably know my most favorite German word: "Kopfkürzungszahl" and what it means^^ And for everyone else: Yes, its an actual word with a very specific meaning!

    C'est dommage d'avoir fait un semestre Erasmus en France en restant qu'avec des personnes anglophones mais il n'est jamais trop tard pour (ré)apprendre le français 😉 sinon bonne continuation, tes vidéos sont très intéressantes.
