    This video is similar to what happened to me. I was from a humble family from Syria and we left our homes because of the war. Years later, I decided to learn languages and began to improve my English in Syria, knowing that there was no internet or electricity. Every day there was an hour. Only one electricity and the rest of the day without electricity. I studied high school and decided to travel to Russia to learn the Russian language, and now I am in Finland and I am trying to learn the Finnish language and I want to study languages when enrolling in university and Thank you for this wonderful channel. I have been following you for several years, and this story inspired me very much

    This humble story motivates me to go ahead in learning languages.
    I'm an Ukrainian teenager who will learn five languages in the next five years. Although it's slightly challenging to live in Ukraine with the current situation, I don't give up on my learning and life. Hard work, sooner or later, will bear delicious fruit.
    Thank you, everybody for reading my teeny tiny comment.
    Best regards from Ukraine!

    I have listened to your story on your Chinese channel and I am glad that you posted a video about it here as well, with much more different details. I felt so moved by your emotions and noticed your eyes almost in tears at some points. Thank you so much for taking courage and sharing your story. Thank you for showing us what has been behind the scenes, the difficulties you have been through. Your "weaknesses" and how you overcome difficulties help people relate more to you and even find solutions and encouragement for their lives. Personally, I would like to hear more stories from your life about anything, especially how did you overcome certain challenges. I would also like to know how do you prepare for an exam (ex. Study methods, routines), how to heal from burnout, what are your future plans after completing your PhD. I would also love to see your daily routine videos of different day sequences. By the way, there was such a video on your channel, but now is unavailable and I am so sorry. Everytime I feel unmotivated, watching your routine gives me a fresh motivation. I have been through my last BA year with a lot of inspiration taken from you. Maybe in one video you would like to share with us how your teacher life and goals look like. To be a teacher suits you so well. I would love to hear more about Zoe the teacher and maybe you can share more books and journals you have read and even articles you published. I know this message is quite long, but I am very enthusiastic about this video and your openness. I wish you all the best with your exams and presentation and hope to hear from you soon.

    A very emotional story zoe. I really loved hearing the challenges you overcome to become who you are.I could feel the pain in your voice when you were saying your health became poor because of over work. A good decision to reduce your workload and pay for health. Regarding study abroad, even I gave up my dream for study abroad seeing tuition fees in US. It is only after I got know about tuition fees in Europe that fulfilled my dream.And yes it comes with the caveat of learning the local language.And from struggling to learn French you have now become a polygot.So proud of you!!!

    Don't know if you will notice this comment, but thank you a lot for sharing your story. After hearing your story, I found that I had an experience really similar to yours. A Chinese kid who dreamed a lot about the life and studied abroad for his own dream. However, instead of being so confident, I'm a real loser with mental problem now. This year is also my last PhD year. I spent 7 years living and studying in Spain for investigating how to learn and teach Spanish more efficiently, but sadly I end up moving back to China because of family issues and now struggling to get an ideal job. I'm feeling right now so lost and keep questioning my decision, I spend days and nights wondering if I've wasted 7 years of my life for nothing, cause some of my family members consider me as a failure. I quitted the gym, refuse social activities, lock myself up in my room hating myself. Then today I found your story on UA-cam, and it really helps me to get myself together. Thank you very much Zoe! And hopefully one day I'm able to come back and say I made it.

    This was such a touching story, thank you SO much for sharing it. I also have a love for languages and I started with Chinese :). It has been officially 3 years and I still struggle with holding a conversation with Chinese people. I am familiar with a good decent amount of characters and I do immerse heavily on watching Chinese dramas/movies in order to acquire the language better. There have been times that I just want to quit but I realize that I have come far in this language. I may not be where I want to be but I am not where I was, so that keeps me going. I have invested so much time trying to learn Chinese that I cannot go back, nor do I want too. I also have been studying Persian, Arabic, Russian, Thai, and a small fragment of Japanese, and I took up German for college this coming fall, because they did not have Chinese so I went with German. I did German last year and failed miserably because I did not put enough time to study due to work (which requires long hours of sitting down, sedentary job) and having one kid, a single mom, so it was SO very hard for me and challenging. How do you manage to study all of those languages, go to school, work and actually achieve that level of proficiency? It's so amazing. I am very inspired by your video, and I hope that one day I will get to that level in the other languages that I am currently learning. Thank you for sharing your video, it was truly the highlight of my day.

So, i had a better start than you though, because i learned different values in Europe from the very start of my life, still my parent‘s mindset kind of held me back in my development in comparison to,other people here - so i can imagine, how many burdens you have put behind you on your way. Congratulations for that! 🥳 You are very inspiring.
    Also i am glad that you‘ve mentioned how long it took you to reach a proficient level in Arabic. I love the culture and the language, but it really broke my self-esteem. I started over and over again, but it won’t stick to my head. If you say that after one year it was still not enough, i feel relieved that I am not dumb.
    Again congratulations for having reached your goals. You are a beautiful example for a cosmopolitan from the old world. Classy, educated and refined. 😊

    After watching this video, you inspired me to work harder for my dreams. I was emotional when you mentioned your hard time in a foreign country to study because I was once in a similar situation but in another city and it was so hard I know. I feel like you and I are kinda similar, after graduating I outgrew some of the friends from uni because our interests are not aligned anymore. I also love to learn new languages, right now I speak 4 languages but I'm going to try new languages in the future. My dream is to study abroad one day and study about their cultures.

    Thank you for sharing your language and life journey story. I came across your videos when I sought other tools to aid my learning of Mandarin. The growth mindset concept is one that really resonates with me, as I've felt that my career wouldn't be what it has become without that focus and belief foundation. You are the perfect example that it is real and not just a concept. You are a genuine person and an excellent storyteller. Keep up the good work and good luck on your thesis!

    Thank you for this very moving video! I started my French language lessons about 3 years ago, and I truly appreciate how hard you have worked. I had a similar experience to yours when I studied in Germany. I became fluent in German by immersing myself in all kinds of activities when I wasn't in class. It was so painful but satisfying. Now that I'm in my 70's, and learning French, I am having so many memories of those earlier struggles. Your videos inspire me to persevere!

    I found your video on learning French accidentally and I really liked it because your tips were actually really good. I checked some of the resources you recommended and they turned out to be very helpful for self-learners. I'm usually very skeptical about youtubers who claim to speak many languages because many of them often haven't even reached fluency in any of them. Some of those "UA-cam polyglots" actually speak many languages but were spoon-fed the knowledge by private tutors and so their advice is useless. But your channel is not one of these.
    I find your channel very inspiring! I speak two languages fluently and two languages rather poorly (German, French). Thanks to you I have made myself a challenge to reach fluency in those two as well! Speaking 4 languages fluently seemed to me like an impossible challenge previously, thank you for letting me know that with hard work it is possible.
    You spoke of your studies in some previous videos and I was actually wondering what's the exact field you are in. I even once tried to google any of the research papers you wrote but I failed. I would be interested in learning more about your research, unless you find this too intruding on your personal/professional life.
    I really liked the last part of the video about the growth mindset. Thanks for sharing your story, it's very motivating. Cheers.

So happens your video fell onto the part where you speak about something similar, and now I am all ready to pick-self up again.
    To summarize, I am saying Thank you.

J'ai vu un reportage sur les écoles en Chine, c'est un autre monde ! Mais je vois aussi que partout dans le monde, quel que soit le pays, on se démarque de la masse dès qu'on veut se créer notre propre vie, sortir du chemin tracé par la société (maison, enfants...) Bravo en tout cas, ton parcours est inspirant, et bravo pour ta maîtrise des langues !

    姐姐你真的很棒,你的視頻中的成長心理激勵了我
    而且我很認同,當你移民去一個國家的時候,你就是一個殘疾人,因為你要很努力才能做到正常人簡單做到的事情。你的那一段學習法語的過程像極了我當初學了一點書之後。就去跟日本人聊天的那種感覺。
    當時我感覺我就是個殘疾人。很多都聽不懂。
    幸好一切都過來了。而且我我終於明白為什麼以前困惑我的東西是什麼了。
    就是所謂的成功的標準,因為我的父母跟我講的也是進一個好大學,然後進一個好工作,然後生孩子買房買車。It was not I want.It is not my life.我看日本的教育視頻。有句話我非常認同。
    It's my life.

    Après avoir échoué dans mon apprentissage des langues (notamment arabe, mandarin), il y a une chose que j’ai apprise : il n’y a rien que l’on ne puisse apprendre, c’est une question de temps et d’effort.
    Cette vidéo en est le parfait exemple.
    Je me répète : encore bravo pour votre parcours et bonne chance pour la suite.
