You're brave to share your language learning efforts with the world. Congratulations and I hope you continue with Korean. There are few who can speak Korean, Japanese and Chinese conversationally.
Congratulations and thank you for sharing your journey!
this was great, congrats on finishing your challenge. It was nice to hear your statistics from lingq and all you accomplished. It was nice being able to follow with you via these daily updates. Keep up the good work
I know I'm late but I still want to tell you, CONGRATULATIONS! I love all your videos. I don't comment much but I'm always watching them. I've been following you from almost the beginning of your UA-cam career. You are an inspiration and someone I wish I had the pleasure meeting. Thank you for your videos!
Congratulations, Steve! You're a testament to the power of being persistent and consistent.
I'm on day 65 of my 90 day Korean challenge and i'm still finding it difficult to study at a particular time and method. I'm wondering what I can do to be more persistent. Love your videos!! 고맙습니다!
Congratulations. I hope to see the level you'll take your Korean and other languages in the future.
Nice one Steve. You've inspired me to go on such a challenge with my Vietnamese come University holidays.
This is pretty cool. Congratulations for completing the 90 day challenge, Mr. Kaufman!
Fantastic effort. You deserve a break now - just don't make it too long :-)
Congratulations
Crochet is pronounced Kro-shay. LOL I enjoyed that.
You're a genius.
Your son seems to be a smart man.
대단하시네요 ㅎㅎ
축하해요
Umfang an Trainingzeit, Möglichkeiten des Sprachkontakts, Maß der Motivation oder das Lernziel.
Hi Steve! I apologize if I've missed it but is there anywhere you've documented how you boosted yourself from your level here at the end of the 90 days to your perfect comprehension and AMAZING speaking level in your spongemind interview?
Thank you! and this whole thing might have felt laborious at the time but it's a huge motivational piece for other people so thanks for doing it
I don't remember my spongemind interview.But learning any language improves me in all of them I feel.
Thank you for doing this challenge, Steve. I actually did it alongside you, albeit not at LingQ. I began learning Mandarin from scratch on January 16, and today, three months later, I can proudly say I have acquired over 1200 unique characters. My reading ability is strongest at this point, followed by speaking. I haven't learnt how to actually write out the characters; I can only type them in using the keyboard. My listening comprehension is by far my worst component, so I still have a long way ahead of me. I've been devoting around an hour and a half a day on average, and I fully plan on sticking to it as I really enjoy learning this language.
Поздравления
Great to hear it. Just keep going and you will get more and more momentum.
Hello steve I am a beginner in russian. I have some beginners books but I dont like memorizing vocabulary how should I use the books so that I read the content without memorizing the vocabulary.
Just join LIngQ, lots of Russian resources there.
Hi Steve. Just a question : were you an absolute begginer at Korean when you began the 90-day challenge?
No, I made that clear. M goal was to see how much progress I could make in 90 days. No doubt that I would have been further along in a European language. I am still working on my Korean an enjoying it more and more.
What is going to be your next challenge?
We'll see.
Did you get the VIP version
i dont know if i should write it here but please tell me somebody why can't recover my password on llingq?

are you going to start new 90 day challenge? whats your plan on language learning?
Don't know yet.
Congratulations
are you going to be doing another political video? it would be interesting to see your opinion on the current actions of Kiev, especially considering how they rode into power.
I think that Putin is pushing the world into a cold war that will be even less pleasant than the last one. This is just the beginning.
Steve Kaufmann - lingosteve oh yes Putin is, because it's russia that's trying to start revolutions on NATOs borders. It's the Russians that have been trying to surround the united states since ww2. It's Russia who said that using force (force consisting of occasional snipers which have no evidence of even being Kievs; and riot police with shields) on peaceful(a word that I find doesn't describe Euromaiden in any way shape or form) protesters; and mere weeks later not only turned a blind eye to full fledged military operations on protesters, but supported them. It's Russia that has been deploying it's navy across American borders. Its the Russians who bombed Yugoslavia encouraged "democratic" (a government that rides in on protests and immediately not only cracks down on protest but supports terrorist and control's media doesn't fit my definition of that i'm afraid, maybe in Canada it does) tried desperately to intervene in Syria, antagonized the Chinese, and invaded Afghanistan and Iraq. It's the Russians who said that Taiwan and Kosovos independence was well deserved and great; but that Ossetias and Abkazias was not. it's the Russians whose navy budget exceeds the entire American defense budget, It's Russia whose been building up military presence in Europe with the obvious target of the US; it's the Russians who signed a deal saying they wouldn't expand their alliance any further east if a certain pact was disbanded; and literally immediately pushed deep to the East when it was. If you consider starting a cold war the Russians not sitting down and letting their nations national security be threatening by an empire that seems to be desperate to control the entire world sure they are. But unfortunately, Russia is not Europe or something like Canada and Japan, who will just sit down and shut up if Washington tells them too. the Russians will defend their national interest and nation when it's perfectly obvious that it's being put under threat. now I know in much of the West people have a silly illusion of the world, where NATO is filled with people who only want to bring hope and freedom and liberty to the world, and that the big scary evil men sitting in Moscow and Beijing want to put the world under their boots; but i'm afraid geopolitics doesn't quite work that way.
Steve Kaufmann - lingosteve and as for worse that the last one, do I need to remind you how terrible life was then? How people suffered in Poland Czechoslovakia Germany Bulgaria Romania and the USSR? about the purposeful starvation in that the Kremlin was doing, the suffering of those in Vietnam and Korea because of it turning into an East vs. West battleground? about how easily you could be killed or sent to something like a gulag for nothing? about the economic havok it brought upon much of the East; which still harms Russia and other old SSRs today? Even if Russia and America do have another cold war(tbh the US never stopped their cold war military policy, so it may as well have carried on) it would be nothing like that even in China. and yea you're right; this is the beginning, cause now 'Murica has support and they've taken a huge tactical advantage in their ability to control how things fall in the Ukraine; who knows maybe they'll bomb up Minsk next, or perhaps they'll keep pushing in the middle east starting a war with everyone there that doesn't like them.(who cares about what is/isn't democratic, they don't care Saudi Arabia is proof of that) maybe they'll find an excuse to invade Armenia or push in Kazkahstan, you see the fundamental difference in todays "cold war" is that it's no longer Russia who has the power to push and hold a bunch of puppets. that now lands soley with Washington and they can do whatever they want with it; the Americas and their faithful puppets have invaded sanctioned bombed or attempted to do one of those three things in every country around the globe that isn't with them. Russia pushed only when a country that could directly threatening her security is pushed into. and hell even then they don't do these mass invasions that the Americans oh so love, they take the pro-russian areas of Ukraine(don't even bother with the non-pro russian areas; more than I can say for the EU/US) same in Georgia. is that particularly good? perhaps not but it's sure a hell of a lot better than the West. but oh wait the Western foreign policy is controlled by America; and precious freedom filled, symbol of democracy America is infallible, anything they choose to do is automatically right! How could I forget
Steve Kaufmann - lingosteve I apologize for the long winded comments. I would love to hear why you think Putin is responsible, but if your argument consist of him supporting pro-russian protest in Ukraine. 1. explain how that's worse than the West supporting pro-west protest in Ukraine and 2. explain if you think that if for some reason a half of Canada or Mexico decided they wanted to join the SCO or something, overthrew the government in Ottawa or Mexico City, threw a censorship over the country and stepped hard on anyone who didn't support the move. and then invited the Russians and Chinese to protect them and build bases on Americas borders, in areas of immense strategic value. America would not take any of it, hell I doubt they would just support separatism in pro-American areas either, they would just bomb the shit out of them and invade, as they did in Serbia. and if you think they would you have not spent any time at all studying geopolitics.
why than is Russia doing the same thing so evil? because they're the reincarnation of the USSR? because they're not pro-west? because their ideology doesn't fit with the western ideology?
What a load of self-justifying nonsense! I may just do a video on the subject.
Steve, as-tu entendu du naufrage en Corée du Sud dans les nouvelles ?
cute :)
