Hopefully you make more lessons in the future!
I hope so, too. By the way, I have subtitled this module and others. Maybe subtitles will be more helpful to you.
Unë di t’i them diçka asai.
Ti thua diçka. Do te t’i thuhes diçka?

Use the subtitles, too. It will help!
Well done! You are doing great! I'm impressed!
Your lessons are far and away the most helpful I've found. Anxiously awaiting your future modules.
Thanks a lot! I have recently subtitled almost all the channel, but all the videos on this channel will be subtitled. It just takes time and I am doing this all alone, that's why I couldn't do this earlier. But thanks for your support!
It seemed to me that "tregoj" means "to show", are there 2 meanings? Same for "kërkoj" that you translated as "demand" whereas I thought it meant "to search"?
Thanks for the videos I wish they were more, especially that it's difficult to find such quality in Albanian :)
By the way, how did you learn so many languages (I saw in the description that you could speak a lot^^)?
Yes, you are right. Ask for, demand, require, etc. are all translated as 'kërkoj' in Albanian.
Yes, I wish there were more, too, but finding time to make them has been 'mission impossible'.
As for the languages... well, I used the same method by which I teach Albanian and a couple of books, mainly Assimil and Teach Yourself series. Triangulating the methods brings the best results. For even better results, learn on your own ;)
Thank you for your efforts. I am currently learning Albanian and I want to learn Bosnian. How many languages do you speak? Did you learn them using this method, where can I find courses that use this method or is it your method? (I hope that made sense)This project must take up your time and I’m grateful for your kindness.
I do not know of any similar method for learning Bosnian or even Serbian, but you can use the same principles to acquire Bosnian: learn how 'I want' behaves with a noun and verb, and see how the verb attached to it changes for various persons.
I began my journey as a polyglot some 6 years ago when I started learning French, then I continued with Romanian, brushed up my Italian a bit in which I came in contact when I was a kid, learnt some Russian at Tirana University attending classes as an external student, and some Turkish, which I learnt as an autodidact mostly, although I did attend a Turkish course. I have passive understanding of Spanish and Portuguese. I have gone through the frustration of learning a foreign language myself, and in this course, I tried to view Albanian from the perspective of a foreigner. Most existing courses teach from the perspective of an Albanian: I do the opposite. I put myself in the shoes of a foreigner and see how I can use my other languages to convey certain instructions regarding Albanian.
Yes, this project is quite time-consuming, but it is worth it even if one single person is inspired by my course to delve into learning Albanian, communicating with Albanians, and make his/her life a bit better.
I just uploaded Module 4 (two more recordings are to be uploaded soon, which makes nearly 45 minutes of recording time).
Thank you for your comment and good luck with Albanian. Do not hesitate to ask questions if you have any.
I just found you recently! Thank you so much for these lessons, you are the best Albanian source online, you make people speak from day one. Your method is superb. I hope you make more lessons in the future. I wanted to learn Albanian and couldn’t find many online sources for the language. Anyone who is learning definitely should know you. I see this video is a year old. Will you continue making videos?
Hello Ayse,
Thank you for your comment and supporting words. They have been the real fuel behind this work.
Yes, more than one year has passed since my last video and that is because I have been very busy and couldn't work on this project. I really hope I will come with a fourth module where I will be teaching how to express ideas in the past and use a few basic nouns. This involves a lot of work and I have done it all on my own. Just for your information, five minutes of recording take up to 2 or 3 hours to prepare, including script (my videos are partially scripted, just to keep track of what I have taught so as not to confuse students by asking them to say something I haven't even taught them), recording, editing the recording, converting recordings into mp4, and uploading them.
I really hope I will prepare another module soon, although I do not know when that will happen. This channel is a work of love by someone who has gone through the language learning stress over 7 times, and I know what foreigners (at least English speakers) might face when learning Albanian.
Thank you again for your comment and do not hesitate to write to me if you have any questions!

Omg ily ; _ ; You replied! I appreciate your hard work SOO MUCH and if this were German, Spanish or Japanese etc, you would have 500k subscribers. There aren’t many free Albanian learning sources for English speakers detailed and successful like yours. People ask who thought me this much, is it my boyfriend, and I say no it’s secret 😂 THANK YOU JONIS
Well, yes, I reply! I am not some stone lost in an unknown desert! Haha!
I am very happy you enjoy my course. I would strongly advise you to review it from the beginning and participate actively by using the Pause button.
Well, this course is intended exactly for people in your situation: you will need to communicate with your boyfriend's family members sooner or later, and this course helps you a bit with that since many of the words it contains are words that you will actually use in real life.
Good luck in your Albanian studies and glad to hear from you again!
And yes, keep this course secret ;)
I want more videos please :) Do you speak spanish? I'm mexican and i have not found any lesson in spanish
Ha ha! Thanks for the kind words! :P Well... I wish I could add more but I have been busier than I ever thought I would! But I hope that if everything goes fine, I will soon upload another module and hopefully another one afterwards. :)
You have not found any lesson in Spanish because this course is dedicated to English speakers. I plan to adapt this course for Turkish, Spanish, Romanian, Italian, French and even Russian speakers. :)
Well, now I am really really desperate that you can do lessons for Spanish speakers, while I will continue to review these. Saludos y gracias :)
The good news is that these lessons now have subtitles. So this will make it easier for you to study Albanian through English.
How do you spell "tell" - trajgoj?
tregoj
