💌 about me: my name is Elysse, I'm 22 years old from the southern U.S. I've been learning languages for about 8 years, and I speak English (native), Spanish (C2), German (B2/C1), Portuguese (B2), French (B1/B2), American Sign Language (advanced), and Turkish (A1). I'm interested in learning Hebrew, Chinese, Georgian, and maybe Náhuatl as well :)

Notion has been such a game changer for me, in so many areas of my life. Language study, video planning, art project organization, even just for journalling and helping me get this chaotic mess of a mind into one space where I can organize it later. I use it for literally all aspects of my life. I'm always curious to see how others use Notion. Figuring out what works for you and getting inspiration from others. I love Notion and can't recommend it enough! ❤
Yes x100! I started using it just for language learning but now it's holding my entire life together LMAO i don't know anyone with a bad thing to say about it!
As a Turkish person, i’m really surprised that someone wants to learn turkish!! It’s a really hard language, and not that interesting. But yeah i reallyyy appreciate it!
It’s totally interesting! hahaha that’s just your native perspective i guess
"Not that interesting" demenin nedeni ne tam olarak?
Çok ilginç bir dil bence! 😊
Ive been trying to learn it for like 6 years now but i always stop thats why i still dont speak it but honestly im obsessed w everything turkish
9:52 SAME! I cannot assign a certain time for a certain day. I would rather work towards a goal rather than falling behind!
Yes! it’s so much easier to stay motivated that way.
This video has helped me so much in organizing my language studies! When I was using Notion daily this was the notebook I went to. I switched to an open-source alternative so I had to re-watch and re-setup my notebooks with some adjustments for how the new program works but I wouldn't even know where to begin without this video. Thank you so much for sharing!
My guess is Arabic because one of the resources you listed for the mystery lang is Busuu and the only language with a different alphabet completely that you haven’t studied before is Arabic :D
I am using Duolingo. İt is very great resource for the beginners
But Arabic is in the list
I decided yesterday that I wanted to try Notion for my language learning (I saw a video), then stumbled upon this video and immediately purchased your template. Thank you so much for helping to make one of my 2023 goals that much easier!
Perfect timing, I just started learning German and was wanting to get Notion but didn’t know how to use it. Always followed you vids, they are so good and a great inspiration. Thanks for everything you do for us we greatly appreciate all your time and work you put into everything.
Yep happy you got a filming spot😊
I'm happy for you on the Notion front and the German front! Good luck with both, I'm glad I could help
As a native German I feel bad for you with all the articles we have Lmao
This is so amazing! Thank you so much! And loving seeing you learning my language 🇧🇷☺️
I have been using your notion template for my language planning and it’s been great! Thank you!
aahhh i'm so glad!! :) thanks for the support
this is the absolute best notion template for language learning i've ever seen!! thank you so much
i’m so glad you like it!! :D
It's the first I've heard of Notion, and it looks so helpful! Thank you for sharing.
I LOVE this. I also built my Language Hub on my Notion. But, your setup gave me some new ideas that I can add. Thanks!
awesome!! glad i could help out
sua pronúncia em português é tão boa, só sei inglês até agora e quero muito aprender outras, também to sofrendo com portunhol 😵💫vc inspira muito
Notion is the best, thanks for the video, I hope you make videos every day ❤
Hahaha maybe not every day but every week at least :P maybe. Glad you liked the video!
@@elyssespeaks By the way, the graduation photos are beautiful and wonderful
The vocab table is extremely helpful
Tysm for inspiration, I’ve been trying to organize my language studies for some time using notion and this video is so helpful :)
I'm glad I could help out!! I'm thinking of making a longer video, maybe making it a mini course.. hmm
@@elyssespeaks it’s a great idea, I could definitely use a lesson or two 👌
Espero que você não se importe de eu escrever este comentário em português, até porque sei que você vai entender :). Esse vídeo veio em um momento perfeito, pois estou pretendendo estudar alemão e holandês, mas sou um pouco desorganizado. As dicas que você deu no vídeo podem me ajudar bastante!
Que bom! Mesmo se você não usa Notion dei um monte de dicas gerais hehheh
Super smart and gorgeous, rare combo. I learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Been learning english and french since 2020 and to be honest, i've never have any good languague learning plan (although I try to adhiere to one). I hope to success 2023 with a functional plan. Thanks for the video.
Been learning Mandarin for +2 years after six months study many years ago (wanted to resurrect the language). I have to say the combo Italki tutor + Notion to stick to complementary rss and self study made my level skyrocket the first three months. Now reaching intermediate plateau, I am sure sticking to a Notion calendar again would help me slowly break through to a higher fluency. Nice content, thanks for sharing the details.
Kudos to you, I'm happy you've made some progress! :)
It’s nice to talk to native speakers but sometimes it be nice to speak to a person studying the same language and just interested in sharing information with each other and talking
YES! And speaking with other learners can even be more beneficial than speaking with natives in some ways bc they notice things you might not
Holy crap! As a Portuguese speaker, I was literally scared by your beautiful pronunciation. You're doing really well, keep going! :D Also, thanks for sharing your plan with us!!
love it!!
Hey Elise. I’m glad you’re making progress in French again. Too many people start languages and ignore them later on. I just want to mention that in 15:19 it’s à l’oral not par l’oral. Same thing for à l’écrit.
I have tried to use notion the last couple months but it is always unsuccessful (I just find all the functions so overwhelming 😂). Definitely gonna give it another try tho after this video there is just to much useful stuff especially for language learning. I am probably way off but I think your mystery language may be Arabic 🧐
you should definitely give it a try!! it’s been so life changing. and hmmmm good guess
Thank you so much for this fantastic video. You are so amazing person for me
thanks for watching & enjoying it!! right back at ya :)
Muito organizada. Não só com os idiomas mas de modo geral. Obrigado pelas dicas. 🙋🏾♂️
obrigada eu! ✨
great content! thank you for sharing!
I'm not the kind of learner that plans everything but I loved this video lol
Thanks
that’s perfectly okay too!
Inacreditável que você se considere so B2 em português, vlw pela inspiração com meu Alemão!
Parabéns! Estou pensando em voltar ao meus estudos de alemão e seu vídeo foi muito inspirador. Obrigado
P.s.: adorei te ouvir em português ♥️🇧🇷
Volte entãoooo! Te desejo muita sorte
I love this ❤
I’m glad you liked the vid!!
Amazing, thank you very much.
Nice job, nice plan. Cheers from Brazil 🇧🇷
thanks so much!! 💜
Hey Elysse, awesome notion setup! If you’ve got info on your ASL page or when you’re learning and you add info, could you show us a little on how you’d set it up and use notion for learning? I’m trying to learn BSL and would love do try something similar. 😊
I don’t use Notion for ASL:0
yeyy got to watch another video!
^__^
Great advice Elysse! Do you ever use audiobooks to improve your language? We share classic audiobooks and since I have started studying French we are going to look into sharing some French language audiobooks too!
are you curious of learning rarer more historical languages like latin, icelandic or greek, I have noticed you will start taking a look at Hebrew, are you focusing on learning Ladin? it would help with your spanish, plus it would help you to learn old spanish and middle spanish, amazing for reading el cantar de mio cid and Don Quijote.
"My notion Lair." jaja got me with that one.
you really inspire me to continue learning languages. i started learning french in the beginning of this year. i want to learn spanish,turkish,korean, russian,hindi,amhric. i love learning languages but i am afraid that i might get confused if i started learning two or three at once.
I have a video about how to learn multiple languages at once, look at my tips & advice playlist!
@@elyssespeaks thanx i will see it
Hi, I'm a native Spanish speaker and I'm currently learning English and Italian, so if you need someone to practice with, I will be happy to help you 🌺
GIRL, how you have such a good accent? (im brazilian and omg, it was really good) I was wonder if you could give some tips on what you did/do to get the accent part right
Hi Elysse, I've just read the description and realized you know sign language. Can you share a bit about that journey? I have cousins, one of them is very young, who are hearing impaired and I want to learn so I can communicate with them, but I don't know where to start. Also, thank you for your videos, you inspired me a lot with my German learning
Yeah, I normally don’t talk about ASL on my channel because I mainly talk about how to self-study languages and I don’t think ASL is a language to ONLY be self-studied, it has to be learned involving Deaf/HH people :) but I might make a video on it soon
Thank you, I am study English, thank you for this video
good luck! ❤️
Thanks Im a new suscriber, Im learning fastly english language thanks to you
that's so great! good luck with your studies ~
@@elyssespeaks Greetings from Mexico amiga!
Eu não sei se foi porque eu abri o Notion pelo celular nas duas vezes que tentei usar, mas achei muito complicado. Tudo isso que você fez pareceu tão intuitivo que me deu vontade de dar mais uma chance pro Notion, talvez ele me ajude a me organizar melhor pra estudar coreano e inglês. Obrigado pelas dicas!
i need to learn how to use notion like this
Could you show us how you made the "card" thing on the home page with all languages ?
Oi Elysse, seus vídeos realmente me motivam a estudar novas línguas. Apenas um comentário, no projeto de Português, ficaria melhor escrito se fosse “Projeto Escrita”, é uma palavra que usamos mais nesse contexto :)
📝
I just looked up "Languages" and came upon the VERY recent video 😅 Thank you!
AHHH i’m glad the algorithm likes me that much 😹 thanks for watching!
I'm sorry to ask but how do you add how long you have been studying the language for because I saw another ytber has it and I would like it?
Hello ! Comme le français était ta priorité pour le mois d'octobre, je me permets de laisser mon commentaire en français :) (d'habitude je traduis en anglais). J'aime vraiment ta manière de te fixer des objectifs et surtout de fixer des priorités. Personnellement, j'ai fait une loooongue rupture dans l'apprentissage des langues depuis juillet et ça me manque tellement que, ça y est, je reprends. Je parle couramment anglais et espagnol, donc je n'ai plus à m'en soucier. Désormais je souhaite apprendre l'italien, l'allemand (pays limitrophe à la France yeah) et le norvégien, ce sont mes trois priorités. Je veux me concentrer sur ces trois là avant d'en commencer d'autre !
En tout cas je te souhaite d'atteindre tes objectifs, tu m'as vraiment motivé à me donner à fond durant les prochaines semaines pour atteindre mes objectifs !!
merci!! :) oui je crois que le chemin au succès commence avec un bon plan, organisé comme j'ai expliqué dans la vidéo ~ bonne chance avec tes études, vu que t's déjà appris un tas de langues l'italien ne sera trop difficile hehehe
Elysee, have you ever heard of Casimiro? Ele faz muito sucesso aqui no Brasil! Ele é muito engraçado hahahaha
Recomendo muito para português ❤️
In most cases, the reason for unsatisfactory results of learning a foreign language is a loss of interest in the student, or you have stopped at some stage of their training and began to "stomp in one place. Thus, the effort and time you have spent in the absence of new techniques will not allow progress in mastering the language. For example, if you spend your time and effort learning the alphabet for months on end, you will not learn to read, write, speak and understand the spoken and written language. Yuriy Ivantsiv in his book "Polyglot Notes. Practical Tips for Learning Foreign Language" writes that you should not selectively stop at one thing, and try to gradually move forward, without skipping anything and not jumping, developing all the necessary language skills for you proportionally. Only then will you get effective results. In your strategy for learning any information for you, including a foreign language, you should adhere to the following principle: you made a breakthrough - mastered the new information, then you need to take the time to consolidate the material and bring it to automaticity. The next step - learn new material and master it, and so on. "There are no secrets to success. It's the result of good preparation, hard work, and learning from your mistakes." Colin Powell. Many thanks to the author of the channel for the tremendous work in creating the instructional video. Thanks to such helpful videos, we have rapid progress in language learning.
I wanted to use notion but it has a lot of tools that I find it kinda complicated to get used to it. Have you ever used Obsidian? People say that it's also good
There's definitely a learning curve but it pays off! I haven't heard of Obsidian, honestly I'm good with Notion for now :)
Obsidian is really cool, only thing is don’t write sensitive info cuz the data is not encrypted (I heard)
arabic!!!! I just started learning it in college! Al Kitaab is a good website.
📝
My undiagnosed ADHD likes to collect resources, so I buy a lot of books, how to I get past the wanting to use all the shiny things at once? Even when I try to plan I end up feeling scattered and not knowing what to do so I never progress >.
Okay miss organisation! 🤩
Still convinced the mystery language is Klingon tho
ohhhh u got me smh
Bravo pour ta vidéo ! Une autre astuce : mettre ton tél, voire ton ordi / ta tablette dans une langue que tu es en train d'apprendre, ça aide vraiment ! J'ai tout mis en néerlandais ou norvégien, ça aide vraiment !
can someone explain please how to make "last studied" formula
hi someone pls how does she add the pictures at 11:30 to the small links to the pages per language, I can't figure out how to make them not white 😢
Hi Elysse, Would you use it for one language? I've never used Notion before. Does it refresh every week or you have to uncheck everything yourself? I like your channel and your humour.
It doesn’t refresh, every week i go through and clear it out and add stuff for the next week :) you can totally apply Notion to just one language!
Thank you
Hi. What English grammar books ( B2) do you recommend?
that Brazilian accent was actually really good wow
Purrrrr thank you
anna lenks 😍
I really like this video,it will help me a lot to organise my language plan
J'ai juste quelque chose à préciser : dans ta section "opération parler" en français pour le but, on a plus tendance à dire :" réapprendre à bien m'exprimer en français à l'oral et à l'écrit "
Can you make a video of a French italki session that you have ?
that’s a good idea. 📝
I would love to know more about how can I measure my progress in a language? Even with a routine. Do you rely on exams? tests online? How in other words can we know if we have learnt a language?
I’m not sure because I don’t constantly monitor my progress in a calculated numerical way
@@elyssespeaks oh, then how do you measure it otherwise in terms of how far you have come with your language learning? I agree too much calculated measuring may not always be the best thing.
Hi how to add it to my notion account??
It is telling me that it can’t accept my card. I tryed to the but the cozy study corner thing but it wouldn’t let me. I will continue trying but thank you so much for the tips ❤
Aww i’m sorry, maybe it’s not available for your country? Sorry about that!!
Is the language arabic? Please tell me if I'm right because later on you say "which accent" and "print out" and I remember you mentioned that in your qna as a language you wouldn't learn. It might just be that because I'm arab. (please tell me if I'm right and I love your videos and get so much inspiration from them)
Yeah that actually makes sense
Maaayyybbeeeee…
@@elyssespeaks the "some tunes for you" playlist was what gave it up lol
@@elyssespeaks Oh it totally is
My first language is English, and my second language is Spanish.
My dream languages to learn are
German 🇩🇪
French 🇫🇷
Russian 🇷🇺
Italian 🇮🇹
Romanian 🇷🇴
Portuguese 🇵🇹
Greek 🇬🇷
Finnish 🇫🇮
Dutch 🇳🇱
Hungarian 🇭🇺
Czech 🇨🇿
Bulgarian 🇧🇬
Polish 🇵🇱
Ukrainian 🇺🇦
Estonian 🇪🇪
Catalan 🇪🇸.
hey, can you tell me what Turkish book you are using? I tried one I didn't like at all and now i'm using "Turkish in 3 months"
it’s called Türkisch für Anfänger, it’s a German book
Where do you source your vocabulary in languages that you are around an A2-B1 level in?
I use different resources for every language, usually through videos and stuff that I watch, also LingQ is great for new words
Does anyone else feel like it would be much easier to learn a new language if there was , like , a website or so , where you can buy digital short stories in your target language for a dollar or a little more , and just use it as an ultimate study material, because as a language learner myself, I really can't find a such thing on real-life stores.Does any one else feel the same ?
You can actually find an Ai chat, and they can create a story for you in your target language
Hi,
Love the content of your videos but I have a quick question if you don’t mind?
I have been learning Spanish for two weeks and am really enjoying it. What’s the best thing for me to concentrate on to maximise my learning?
I’m using some online tutorials, The Language Tutor on UA-cam is a free resource and brilliantly laid out with a podcast to back up the lesson, I’m also listening to Spanish songs and writing in Spanish.
I’m not speaking Spanish yet, do you think this is a good approach?
Thank you
I enjoy Spanish with Pablo on UA-cam. Getting a variety of books (I started with early elementary school level) is easy in Spanish, especially the library.
It's a good approach as long as you're meeting your own goals, for example, the Refold folks suggest that it's not that important to produce output at the first stages of learning a language, but that's totally up to you.
¡Saludos desde Venezuela!
I like your videos 😘
thanks so much for watching them! ⚡️
Nasıl bu kadar dili öğrenebildin? Keşke ben de öğrenebilseydim. Çince, Korece ve Japonca dillerini öğrenmek isterdim.
When I read ‘both dialects’ I thought Norwegian but then I saw ‘alphabet sheets’ and that made think of Arabic but there are more than 2 dialects though so why ‘both’
I can’t think of any other language that would fit this description haha
i didn’t know there were multiple dialects of Norwegian, cool!
@@elyssespeaks There are many different dialects, but what I think was ment, are Nynorsk and Bokmål, the two written standards of norwegian
Maybe it’s Korean? I’m not sure but I’d assume there are a North and South dialect. Or maybe it’s Ukrainian, although not sure if there are 2 dialects… 🤔
Muito bom
Why should you use Notion when you can do it in the Notes app? I personally write my goals and other details in Notes app.
The notes app is so reduced. You can’t make folders, no differences in text size except for title and text, I could go on. There are so much more options and tools to use in Notion that make things easier. I was such an unorganized mess when I just used the Notes app, yuck, never going back to that
In notion you can have databases that are related which is awesome for statistics or even just for to do lists etc. i use it a lot for my whole life. For languages i have different databases that are related like tasks, ressourced, activities, vocabulary etc. so in a task i did you can see the resources i used for this and what activity it is realted to. For example when i have an activity called „chapter one of book xy“ the task would be „worked in book for 30 min“ they are related and they are both related to the resource of the book. And the vocab is related to the source (activity) it came from.
In the notes app you would have to change things in every view and its not automatically synced
I will give it a try then.
i wanna use this so baddd but i can't just buy it :((
If it makes u feel better, I JUST found out about Notion… 4 weeks ago. 😅
I just typed in app on the App Store
Gonna learn how not to have a smooth brain and then carry on with Portuguese and Turkish
The graduation from smooth brain 🫡 lol I respect it
Can you teach how to lesrn Spanish pls. Thank you heheh
You, your attitude, your pedagogy are amazing. Thanks
P.S. can you be my life coach
What did you major in at college ?
I'd recommend you to watch ''Barış Özcan'' to improve your Turkish. He is a storyteller and publishes a video every Sunday in 4k resolution. Many of the videos also have English subtitles as well and I think he has inspiring videos on very interesting topics.
thanks for the rec, i wrote it down :) 🗒
What was the mystery language?
Hey does anyone here know any free resources for learning Russian?
Tu as fais quelques erreurs sur ta page dédiée au français, est-ce que tu voudrais que je t’en fasse une petite liste?
if this doesn't make me fluent in german in 2 days flat I'm gonna cry
uff no promises but USE IT WELL
God you are amazing
so are you!
The bad part of being a language learner is the fact that you can easily give up in the process
Ouves algum conteúdo em português europeu?
Nenhummm
@@elyssespeaks era fixe veres se consegues compreender! 😉 (fixe é uma palavra portuguesa, que é o equivalente a "legal" no português brasileiro). É verdade que é mais provável encontrares uma pessoa brasileira do que um português quando se viaja, mas é tão agradável para um português ver alguém que sabe falar o português europeu, já que a grande maioria das pessoas que aprende português foca-se no brasileiro. Mas o que interessa é falar! 👏🏻
ESTÁ BIEN me evangelizaste jajajajajaja
JAJAJ que bueno
Edineceğin Türk arkadaşlar arasına girebiliyor muyum?? Lol another great vid!
is it korean?
No 🤣😁 but good one! That one’s still on my no list 🚫
pls pls pls be arabic so we can learn it at the same time lmao, great video too! its so motivating seeing you learn languages
Hmmmm 🫢 you might be in luck
Is the mystery language arabic?
Yeeee
