💜 ABOUT ME:
Hi and welcome! I'm Tanya and the only thing I like more than learning languages is probably talking about learning languages (well, that and hoarding language books).
My native language is Russian and I'm currently in different stages of learning English, Spanish, Polish, Italian, Korean, and Japanese.
Disclaimer: this video is not sponsored, but some of the links are affiliate links (which means I will get a small commission with each purchase at no cost to you).
I always worry about “distracting” myself with too many languages to learn but this video gave me motivation to keep doing what makes you happy! I subscribed so I can keep following you in our journey with Japanese, Spanish and Polish! Love from Italy ❤
Oh, wonderful. I've been afraid of purchasing language textbooks only to grow bored and end up put them down. I do see some I might like and I think I'll try them.
Thanks.
It’s so nice that you are learning my native language Greek! ❤😊
polish resources are so hard to find so tysm for showing off your books!!!
I'll be making a more detailed video on Polish resources soon!
Lovely bookshelf. I've always wanted a ton of books but $$. Thank god for libgen tho
indeed :)
Ooo! Thank you for the recomendations! I'll definetly need to buy these spanish books!
That was sooo interesting! Many channels usually recommend the same boring Spanish textbooks but here I found a lot of great books😍 Hope to buy them soon🤩
Glad it was helpful!
Really interesting video, and I love just how honest you are! Just subscribed 🥰
Great books for learning Polish. I’m Polish myself, but my husband is learning my native language right now. I’ll buy these for him :)
Yep, these books are amazing! I wrote a short thread on twitter about why I like the Krok po kroku series - you can check it out here if you want: twitter.com/botanechka/status/1585340869586325504?s=20
I'm native Spanish speaker, and when I saw those book in your bookshelf makes me smile🤗I'm glad you like it that much ❤
Also, your accent when you speak sounds from Spain, not Russian which it is really impressive :D My bookshelf is still little, I'm only have two English books and a couple of French. Because I started to learn those two languages two months age. I'm more focus in English, because it's more important nowdays😆 Un abrazo enorme desde Argentina💖
Are these textbooks useful when we learn Spanish from Duolingo?
Also do they have Spain accent since Duolingo focuses on the Spain accent as far as I know
@@Rana22222 If I'm honest, I haven't use Duolingo. I use Bussu, because I can send my exercices to natives speakers and they tell what I did wrong. Textbooks: I use them because they also give me an idea in wich level I'm in, I also want at same point do the international language test, I want to learn grammar. It's depends on you, maybe you only prefer an app because you can't stick to do a lesson on paper because it's boring or you prefer something more interactive. if you want a honest review ask Tanya in her next video because I don't know those Spanish books, I only can reccomend you English and French textbooks.
Okay! Thankyou
Omg Thank you for the Links! & on Notion?! You are too kind 🤩🤗🫂 loving the content and substance you bring. Keep being awesome.
Edit: the page you opened on the Dirty Italian book 🤣
Thank you so much 💜
Yeah, that book is a minefield - you never know what you are going to see flipping through the pages 😅
I have been waiting for this video! Thank you!! I would also love to hear about children's books or more graded readers that you have found effective / books for reading that you would recommend for different levels! It's so interesting!!
I am actually working on a video where I will share my step-by-step process for reading in my target languages. Hoping to publish it by the end of this month!
@@tbenavente Ahhh!!! Cannot wait! Thank you for all that you do!
Podziwiam naukę polskiego :) . Osobiście jestem native speakerem, ale nigdy bym się go nie nauczyła gdyby nie to, że tu się urodziłam
Thank you for your recommendation! I have already been using effective extensions like DeepL and Immersive Translate for a long time. Especially, Immersive Translate has been incredibly helpful for me. I will definitely consider trying out what you've recommended.
Thanks a lot! I was just looking for some text books to improve my Polish ☺❤
Thanks for sharing! I too get a lot of my books from thrift stores and the library. I just got a nice Spanish reader and a couple of novels on my most recent outing. I also study Japanese, Polish, and German.
Also, I tend to buy books from languages that I am yet to start, but it's too good of a deal to pass by
I'm learning Polish too.
Thank you for this video. I'd love to see your French books in more detail. If you make another video on books, please tell us the publishers of your favourite books. Sometimes I could see a logo on the front cover, but if you like the look of one, it can be helpful to find more resources of the same kind in another language in their catalog. The books I've seen from East Asia in your other videos are so physically attractive. I lived in Japan for a while, and love the style of supplementary texts (not main grammar texts so much).
Yay I'm so happy you posted this!! Whenever you study using a workbook, how much time do you dedicate that you feel has been working for you?
Thank you ❤
oh, it's so exciting seeing someone learning polish:D good luck with that!
Dzięki 💜
Just a comment on the "dirty" books: they are actually not as silly as they look, there is a lot of commentary in English explaining different cultural nuances.
For Brazilian Portuguese Try out Novo Avenida Brazil (A1,A2,B1)
I would appreciate it if you make a video about your Spanish books here. 😊
Gracias Tanya por el video. Una consulta ¿Cómo comenzaste a estudiar japonés y cuales fueron tus recursos?
For French Try Dèfi & Cosmopolite (A1,A2,B1,B2,C1,C2)
I'm Polish and I've never learned grammar, much less phonetics. Nice to see someone who want to learn my native language! The great Polish book witch you recommended is not a set book. Akademia Pana Kleksa is the set book. The movie was great. Great book is for children who learn how to read, for example Beata Ostrowicka "Moje pierwsze czytanki" or Czytanki Sy-La-Bo-we Anna Sójka. I've bought both ot them for my little daughter, who will be learn read. In Poland small child learn read through syllables.
Wow keep going
Очень классный канал и прекрасные рекомендации! Может ты всё-таки вспомнишь книги, которые можешь порекомендовать для начального уровня испанского? Если нет, то все равно спасибо за контент!
На русскоязычном канале как раз такое видео было: ua-cam.com/video/ZHc7rQWNfPM/v-deo.html
Ohh you have a lot of Korean books I've actually never seen before, but they look extremely interesting ~ (need to stop myself as I already have way too many Korean resources to go through...)
I think there needs to be a rule where one is only allowed to buy a new book once they're done with at least one book that they already have :D
@@tbenavente I'm trying to pretend there is such a rule (but it's sooo hard ugh) :') we're fine. We'll be fine *sniffs*
What app were you reading in on your iPad that has an in-app translation feature?
could you please recommend something to read in korean for level 1? Thanks
For German Go with Netzwerk & Studio D
Nice video ❤ well I would like to ask which app you use for translating words while reading on tablet?
I usually just use whatever built-in features there are on the reading app. The one in this video was Google Play Books, but iBooks and the Kindle app also have similar features
Now you make me want to read my abandoned japanese books lol
Can you please make a video for Italian learning resources? Junco veo contenido de gente aprendiendo italiano so no se si los libros en Amazon son buenos o no 😢 I was so happy when I found your channel because I saw that you’re learning Italian and I’m also interested in learning it for myself and my family. So can you please recommend work books or books in general, physical or online, and maybe some strategies and tips? Gracias! :)
Also can you just give tips or how you learn Japanese and Italian? I want to learn them but I’m lost on what to do after I learn the basics 😭
I am definitely planning a video on Italian resources soon!
I want more information about the Japanese , kanji dictionary.
Can you make a video about Korean resources? Thank you in advance ❤
Yes, probably some time next month!
Hey, where can i find the japanese books you show at 25:04 ?
I believe I got them from omgjapan.com/
The psychology book in Korean wasn't on your Notion Page, could you please put a link or at least the title in a comment. I don't know any korean yet but i would love to read that book when I finally learn it
Thanks for pointing that out! The book was not on Amazon like most other books, so I completely forgot to add it to the list. I just added the link to the Notion page, but I'll leave it here too: global.gmarket.co.kr/item?goodscode=2032977362
@@tbenavente thanks! I can't read Korean so I needed the title to put on my list, thanks
Hola un saludo desde España, ¿Como estudias el vocabulario? con anki? leyendo? . Me alegro mucho de haber descubierto tu canal.
¡Hola! Últimamente he estado usando Clozemaster para obtener una base de vocabulario suficiente para leer. Y una vez que empiezo a leer, la lectura se convierte en mi fuente principal de vocabulario nuevo. Me gusta Anki también pero la verdad es que soy demasiado vaga para crear nuevas flashcards de manera consistente 😅
@@tbenavente Yo tambien intento usar anki pero me da pereza jaaja muchas gracias por tus videos. Un saludo!!
Hi Tanya, can German be written using the English sentence structure? I have done my own own research and found out that German has the same sentence structure as English. Is this true? 😊😊
Hi! From what I understand German is different from English in that it can have SVO structure in some cases (although the V2 word order rule can override that) and SOV in other cases (like subordinate clauses, for example), whereas English is an SVO language. I am in no way an expert on German grammar though!
@@tbenavente it’s okay, i appreciate your help. ☺️☺️
ioo😊i
Hi everyone if anyone would like to do a language exchange, I would be willing to trade English for Spanish as well as German! I am a native English speaker and am a beginner in both Spanish and German.
Any book recommandation for Chinese level beginer ?
Never studied Chinese, so unfortunately no recommendations from me personally, but here are some awesome people I follow who talk about learning Mandarin:
- @biancalearninglanguages here on youtube
- studynotepad on insta
- Mischa Wilmers on twitter (he has a podcast called I'm Learning Mandarin)
Hope this helps!
Thank youb so much
Hey! If you ever get round to greek, I have a bunch of suggestions of great resources that I've used 😀 most of them are in greek but you seem to be used to that so it won't be a problem after you've gotten past the very beginner stages 😊
With the book that you've got, I recommend checking the date of it because greek changed fairly recently in quite a lot of ways, I'm not sure the exact date but I think like the 80s (maybe later), but if the words in your book have more than one accent (unless it's just a few words), then chances are it's old and you'll want a new book
Here's some of the books and resources I've used that I've really liked -
GreekPod101 to get to an A1/2 level
Then Ελληνικά Α which is a textbook In greek for A1/2
Now I'm using Κλικ series which goes from A1 to c1 and also the ελληνικά β book which is B1 but the series doesn't go further anymore
There's also an absolute must which is free online called something like greek grammar for beginners a1-2 which explains the basic grammar in English which was amazing for me because I've never learnt a language with cases before
Anyways,I'm sure this won't be useful for ages haha but maybe one day!
Greek is a beautiful and wonderful language
+ I really enjoy your videos and your style, it's very calming 😊
Best of luck with all of your languages
Thanks for these resources. I’m learning Greek. (Very beginner at the moment 😊) 🙂
Thank you so much for this! I'm actually planning to focus on Greek after I solidify my knowledge of Italian a bit more, so I'm sure your advice will come in handy pretty soon!
ааа, нашла твой второй канал, может там что-то будет
ага, там есть старое видео, называется как-то вроде "как я учу испанский"
What is the name of your Russian channel?
It's this one: www.youtube.com/@tanyabog but I left the links to the specific videos I mention in the video description
