[@SpeakTheWorld.]

This was one of my biggest mistakes while beginning Spanish! I will not make the same mistake with German. Thank you for the tips!

Thanks for the mention. Hope you'll give us a read sometime -- The Crystal Hunters Team.

[@NihongobyAmanda]

Yes ofc 😍

[@klaudiamultilingual]

Haha The Little Prince and Harry Potter are like the Rosetta Stone of these times😂 Almost every language learner will read at least one of these in other language 😅 The best thing about it is that you can buy the translations of popular books like this pretty easily online :))

[@NihongobyAmanda]

Yep, I always fall back on Harry Potter. The know that story by heart ☺️

[@FransceneJK98]

Little prince is sooo boring!! I never liked it

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Thanks Amanda. ! Your advice is spot on ! So many videos here are full of
completely useless advice from self appointed " experts "...!
As for so called " polyglots "...😂😂😂 ...who speak 9 languages....Please...!?!?
It hurts when I laugh.!!
