I am 24 now but I started learning Chinese at age 22. After a while of intense learning of the language, strange things started happening, such as remembering things that happened long ago deep into my childhood, or vivid visions of dreams that had been dreamt years ago and long been forgotten. I'm not sure why this is happening, but it is almost like I have unlocked the secret storage compartment in my brain that has been holding all the information from my childhood that had long been forgotten about.
Me studying korean at age 18😇
If I were you Dave, I would've checked my childhood photos because sometimes your brain remembers the tiniest details. Also, I would've ignored this because I think it's a coincidence to remember things that happened in the past. In addition, an active imagination can be caused by watching too much Netflix, so I would cut down the time i spent doing this.
This is what I hope for! Thank you for sharing this!
This happens to me too ... I don't learn intensely ... Just a couple of words daily
..
I cud memorise things I dreamt 2 days ago ....
I think it's to do with synesthesia connections in the brain

I started learning Spanish in 2002 to speak to a Mexican woman at my job then I married her and we have 2 children and I am now very fluent. I always thought learning Spanish changed the Way my brain operated in some way but I didn't know exactly how.
Sweet, I'm learning English, I have a good level but still aiming for accuracy, Since I still lack some vocabulary
@@astranger3377 come to hello talk..my name is Sunil Kumar..
I've been learning English for some years all alone. Learning will never be a problem for me, however, I have to face the fact that I have to learn two language at once, the one from the books and the real one that comes outta the people's mouth. The spoken language, the nativelike language people speak on the street, or, their causal way of speaking is what I would call the Jackpot. So I've got to find a solution to grab my Jackpot.
Way to go!
Yo comencé el aprendizaje del español hace cuatro meses. Espero que me ayude.
I know 4 languages since childhood and I'm learning german now at the age of 17
omg really, I speak 2 languages Albanian and English and they are very different, Im learning deutsch too , its not easy so far I hope it gets better , Do u have any tips
@@albrini8850 hey. I know English, Hindi, Marathi, Kannada and I'm learning Deutsch since the last 4 months now. all the other 3 languages except english have different writing system. like the symbols. As I'm from India, my school taught three languages "English, Hindi(national language) and Kannada (state language)" and Marathi is my mother tongue language so I just know it. even tho I know these many languages, they are helpful only when I'm in india? they won't be helpful if I go abroad. also, regarding tips. I don't really know 😅 I was just born learning 3 languages and I learnt english at school and now I'm learning german.
wow
I only know english saldy y hablo poco español. Estoy aprendiendo español ahora. Con mucho suerte yo aprenderé
One thing I've found that I find interesting: I've had a very difficult time reading aloud every since I was a kid. I stumble over my words a lot. I've been learning Norwegian, German, and Spanish and I've found that after studying, I can read aloud perfectly in my native language for about half an hour.
The younger you are, the easier, therefore, will be to speed up your language learning process. However, if you speak already at least 2 languages, it’s then gonna be less difficult to get fluent in a third one as your brain is already adapted to learning languages. Now then, the best option to learn fast is to live within an environment where the language you want to learn is officially spoken, however not all people have the change to do so.
I can attest the last part is a myth. All you need is surrounding yourself with media that uses that language. Be it your phone or youtube videos or music or podcasts or simply talking to yourself. Trick is you have to do this over and over again until your brain gives up and takes it all in as a native language.
Estoy aprendiendo español. Tengo treinta y nueve años, hablo solo inglés. 😢. I'm thinking about transferring at work to where spanish speakers are to speed up my learning. Downside I might not keep up, I'm a hard worker...but not that hard of a worker lol. Maybe if I was still in my 20s.
I'm 30 years old and i am currently self studying japanese for 2 months followed by learning korean this month.. And i found it fun and relaxing.
Awesome! I'm almost 30 and I'm learning Spanish.
Good luck studying!
So awesome! I am self studying Mandarin and Spanish. Hope your Japanese and Korean studies are going well!
@@jocelynno.37 Thank you 🥰 you too.. Goodluck with your studies..
@@Lottedbruyn Thank you 🥰 Goodluck with your studies too..
@@Gankoittetsu Thank you!!😁
I began speaking Chinese, Japanese, and Spanish at age 3. Now learning Russian. Multilingualism has really been a positive thing for me over the decades mainly manifesting itself in the ability to see situations much more holistically than my monolingual counterparts.
I speak Dutch and English. And i'm now learning Spanish. It's not easy, but it's awesome and rewarding. Love love love Spanish. There's so much more expression, it makes Dutch and English seem kind of blend. Haha.
¡Genial!
¿Cómo vas con tu español?
I'm a native spanish speaker .I hope you can learn to speak Spanish in the future .Keep going y buena suerte :)
Alles goed? Ik heb in Nederland vier jaaren gewoond. Prachtige land
Tengo cuatro meses aprendizaje español. yo haria como para aprender neerlandés algún día lejos en el futuro.
The animation in this video is incredible; the information is incredible!
The animation was just WOW! I've never seen such an interesting animation 🌸❤️
music too
I'm 26 and have learnt 3 languages. English, Mandarin + Cantonese, Malay. The only one that I require subtitles for is cantonese.
I'm thinking about learning Japanese / Korean cuz its so close to Chinese.
I hope to start learning Tamil and Hebrew by 2023. I hope I'm not late for the plasticity bus.
Best of luck! I really hope you are able to do it.
Focus on a few languages and master those.
Tengo cuatro meses de spanish de aprendizaje. Spanish is hard enough, can't imagine Chinese. It would probably be a good thing to know, pretty sure them or India will take over the world economy one day. I would love to know japanese, I love thier culture.
Portuguese here! I've learned english easy, and now I want to learn italian, german, french, spanish and dutch
@Juicy Fruit I am trying to learn Brazilian Portuguese
@Juicy Fruit I like the language and culture. Portugese kinda sounds like a Russian/pole tring to speak Spanish which I like.
@Juicy Fruit sure
Você fala português, genial. Eu não falo português. estoy aprendiendo español, yo haría como para aprendero algún día.
Combination of art style, animation and 3D visuals. Amazing!
Indeed i am bilingual cause i speak perfectly Italian and English and, this, has taken into many perks for me. I can switch between a language and another in a flash!! (:
Ciao. Parli italiano, fantastico! non parlo italiano. piacere di conoscerti. Yo solo sé pocas frases en italiano. Estoy aprendiendo español y el italiano parece muy cercano al español.
4ヶ月に日本語を勉強しってでした。これは綺麗なごです。日本語と日本が大好きです！毎日練習します。日本に津で欲しいです
So that's why I started to actually understand the song in background while productively learning language.. I've never been able to do it (enjoy song past it's beat as a second task)
Creo que aprendiendo idiomas de la música es muy difícil.
What an elite animation/graphic design team!
This made me even more excited to keep going.
Grew up English and French and now I'm learning Japanese.
Let me guess ur an anime nerd?
@@xevidv2622
What does it have to do with anime?
@@richboyinnightgown usually people who watch anime want to learn japanese
There are a bunch of languages i want to learn :
(This is just personal notes for myself)
- Spanish : im currently learning spanish in school & once im done with this year & next year's classes i want to continue learning.
- Polish + the culture : i have a lot of polish family on my mom's side & i want to learn the language with her specifically so we can both communicate.
- Ukrainian + the culture : i'm also Ukrainian, most of it on my dad's side & i think its a really cool language & that it'd be fun to learn.
- French : i know its a difficult language to actually grasp but i still think it'd be really neat to learn at some point in my life.
- Korean + the culture : i think its a really cool language & that it'd be fun to learn. Theres a *lot* to it but i feel like me beingba fan of kpop would help me a bit since i listen to the language so often.
I want to go to all of these countries & explore there for a while as well.
Fantastic video. Very well done.
What a beautiful animation! And illustrations!
My memory has improved immensely since I learned a second language and my brain is as sharp as 🤔 I've forgotten what i was going to say. 😂😂😂Encouraging video 🤗
Aprendiendo español me ha ayudado hasta ahora.
Random person: What kind of bender are you?
Me: A mind-bender!
The reason that study found that kids store their native language in a different area of the brain to adults is in the way 99% of adults go about learning languages, as if they were math problems to be solved, consciously analysing every single detail. If adults just relaxed and did full time immersion for 7 years, as children do, that language would be stored in the same place as their native language.
I speak english and I'm learning spanish now but I want to be able to speak mandarin and French as well.
Hola, cómo te va hoy? Solo sé hablar inglés también. Estoy aprendiendo español. Cómo va tu aprendizaje?
Very interesting and encouraging

This is just a fantastic video.
Animation is beautiful..
For many language learning is MUCH EASIER LATER IN LIFE. Why? because the older person is much more disciplined, knows what hard work is and is more focused on the goal as compared to a typical lazy 20 year old, who thinks more about partying than studying.
Not all 20 years are lazy at learning you know.😊
you're 50 arent you
old people are also prone to dementia and many other problems. don't generalize a whole generation being lazy just because you're mad
@@crafterrium8724 Dementia? I'm not talking about 80 year olds, and I said typical...typical. I just proved you are a lazy and sensitives reader and young child. You just got B slapped. 😂

Lovely presentation
Great video!
Verbal gym, I like that.
I only speak spanish (my native language) and english. Although right now Im learning french and korean :)
I'm 14 and after being fluent in English i thought to learn Spanish and I'm learning it
Hola, que tal? Solo sé inglés. Estoy aprendiendo español. Cómo va tu aprendizaje?
Do you get to a point as to wear if you learn a new language hard enough the language wall breaks and you understand the language and speak it just like your birth language that’s what I always wanted to know?
Its not so much a break as it is like maturing into it as though you grew up with it. Native speakers dont have a completely full vocabulary even at 15 years old so 10-20 years dedicated to the language you can get fluency and even a dialect :);
Estoy aprendiendo español. No estoy en este punto en mi camino.
maybe I'm doing something wrong I see many comments what say they speak multiple languages I have studied English for 5 years and I cannot keep a fluent conversation yet, frustration ,🥴
Whats the name of the last music in the vid?
I know many languages with varying levels of proficiency 💥
solo se hablar inglés y un poco español. Espero que un día pueda aprender más idiomas.
nice!
Its really helpful for brain🧠?
