Ok This is not...the real chinese food it's like a mix of iranian and chinese food, it's cool How does it work? Yes yes you do it well You made it! After lunch we will ask each other random questions in 10 languages
okay Who wants to choose? Me, I would like to Go ahead So that's the question I chose for French Now first I will read in English Use this language to tell how you became polyglot ok translate in French In French It's not easy, who wants to start? You start I start? To be honest I didn't have a program to become polyglot for example I learned English at school French, at that time I wanted to study in France I wanted to do research I wanted to become a researcher So I started to learn French Just for my studies It's just through this experience I realized that How quickly I can learn a language Because for a year I really studied a lot Then I got C1 level After French is Arabic at that time I have learned Arabic for for my research for my master thesis now for my Phd thesis It was very difficult for me It took me more time to learn it However, through this experience I have learned a lot of methods that means, my learning has become more structured After Arabic is Turkish, Persian and German That's it It's very interesting Super And you? Zahra Me? I started to learn language when I was 5 years old
It was too difficult for me at that time Because I was so young And I have started Arabic, English and French at the same time I have cried too much but after 3, 4 years I started to like it in 2019 I told myself that I have to become a polyglot I started to learn Spanish and Chinese Recently I started to learn Hindi, Tajik and Turkish It's my story And you? um Me, my foreign language learning story started in 2016 It was the first time I felt like that English is not enough for me So I made my decision to learn a foreign language I have chosen the french because I was so intrested by French culture at that time my interest, my field of interest, my driving is to learn French, so I chose the French Now it's the language I speak best of all foreign languages in 2020 I started to learn Italian after Italian I have learned Spanish, Russian and German for me being able to speak all these languages at age 17 means a lot the experience I have gained allowed me to discover new cultures in the world I think it's something very fascinating to become a polyglot it's magnificent at this age I am so jealous For me I wanted to learn all languages of United Nations French, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, English and Spanish Because if you speak the official languages of the United nations, you can almost speak with everyone That's why I have started to learn all these languages Then I have decided to learn Italian because it's easy for me Then Turkish because I live in Turkey I love to speak with each person in their native language Nelson Mandela He said If you talk to a man in a language he understands that goes to his head If you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart it's true It's a beautiful quote because for me The objectif is to communicate with people uh i will do it Let's choose why and how you learned this language For me, usually The reason I learn a language is because I find its culture interesting. For example, I am interested in Middle Eastern culture. I learned Arabic And Turkish is very special to me because it is in the middle of Asia and Europe. At first, I only learned it to visit Istanbul and Turkey But very basic things, so sentences are very simple I mean like that when I came to Istanbul, I liked it very much. I liked everything I actually fell in love with Istanbul Architecture, nature, people… The most important thing is the food I liked the food very much That's why I decided to learn Turkish more seriously. That's it! Very good! You guys really speak Turkish very well. No no no Yes, Accept it how did you learn Turkish? Why? Why? Because I already live in Turkey yes How? I signed up for a Turkish course 4 months ago. And I finished the New Istanbul Book A1-A2 And I spoke Turkish with my friends on the street I watched Turkish TV series This is how I learned Turkish I find it strange to see foreigners speaking Turkish like this because I think Turkish is a very difficult language. very difficult very difficult That's why it seems strange that people could learn Turkish For example, you went to the course for 4 months 4 months, and how long have you been learning? I have been learning it for a long time How long? 1.5 years and you? one year So I think it's very good, I don't know if I could learn Turkish. Go, let Iclal choose Do you want it? Translate it It's for Arabic, but first it's in English
what's the most difficult thing about learning this language Translate it Ok, translate it in Arabic Should I start? Go ahead um I think Arabic is difficult and also We just learn Fusha Arabic (standard Arabic) at school But in Arab countries, people don't speak Fusha But they speak in dialects I don't understand dialects yes My girl, you speak very well Better than me You speak Fusha better than me, my god What's the question? The difficulties Zahra Me?
The most difficult thing in learning Arabic or learning different languages is the consistency Learning a language is not you learn then you finish because you know all languages are an immense knowledge that must be continued we must continue to learn if for a period we don't studied it we will forget everything this is the most difficult thing for me and you? for me the most difficult thing in learning Arabic is the dialects someone learned Fusha and thinks that ok, I am done I have learned Arabic, I am happy If this person travels to Arab countries, Iraq or Syira He will realize that people don't speak Fusha on the street I agree You must know the dialect so first I have learned Fusha but I realized it was not enough So I started to learn Iraqi dialect then still not enough, Syrian dialect, Egyptian dialect several dialects so now I can almost understand all the dialects only Morrocan dialect is still a bit difficult for me to understand even for Arab peoples, it's difficult very difficult In my opinion if you are learning Arabic when you finish learning Fusha you must learn dialects dialects I agree with you, the hardest thing about learning Arabic is the diversity of dialects You are right For exemple,I am learning Fusha Arabic and Syrian dialect at the same time It's like I am learning 2 languages There is another thing, because my native langauge is Chinese which is very far from Arabic At first, everything is difficult for me for exemple the pronunciation, grammar everything are so new and so difficult for me it took a lot of time and efforts I wanted to quit several times because it's so difficult
hahaha but thanks god, I have continued Now I can speak in Arabic Exellent, you speak when I speak Arabic, I mix syrian, egytian and all dialects but you only speak in Syrian dialect my grandmother is syrian (a joke from another vide) Chinese
mandarin mandarin mandarin who who can speak Chinese? Me ah I know a bit Oh you understood! 9 languages actually actually She speaks Chinese but she pretends that she doesn't you can take a break anyways Let me choose Ok this one why do you like these angles why do you like Chinese Why? Who would like to start? Iclal you start I like China, chinese culture chinese movies I started learning Chinese by myself two years ago self taught? Yes Yes! I like China very much I want to go to university in China My favorite university is Tsinghua University Tsinghua University and Peking University Tsinghua University and Peking University And I want to go to Tsinghua University and I have many Chinese friends And this is why I want to go to China Are you self-taught Chinese? Yes self-taught, I don't have a teacher Who am I? You just help me a little big sister teacher You just help me a little Okay, Mahya what happened? Why did you study Chinese? Why do you like Chinese Uh, 4 years ago, I went to study in China Then in the process of studying abroad I started to like China Because I went to China not because I like China It's because I want to learn Chinese But while living in China I started to like China chinese culture chinese food Now you know I speak 9 languages But my favorite language is Chinese why Because Chinese characters are very special Well, I feel very relaxed when writing Chinese characters. Now Spanish!!! But, who can speak Spanish here? Yes, I You don’t? Nope?? i'm gonna take a break now okay learning similar languages pros and cons Translation please it's a difficult, you mean like um same roots? When my level in Spanish was A2 I started to learn Italian For this reason, yes, I have mixed them If you want to learn Spanish, or maybe French, Italian I want to say that after level B2 it is better to learn a new language and you? For me, I think that learning similar languages has its own advantages and disadvantages. But for me the advantages weigh more because the fact that Spanish, French and Italian derive from the same family of languages has helped me a lot For example, I didn't have difficulties when I was learning Spanish because I already knew French and Italian But sometimes I also find it very difficult to speak similar languages one after another Because for example when I want to build a sentence in Spanish but only the words in Italian come to my mind And it is a problem but it can be overcome by practicing the language Yes yes Now Persian Give it to me, I will ask I just take a chocolat Please what's the most useful tip to learn this language nathan For Persian all for all languages?
Farsi, this language But I think for all languages are the same for all languages Why I say EVET (Turkish) OK ok ok I think there is a very useful exercise I always try to think in that language and I talk to myself, for exemple when I was in Iran From the morning till night I only speak Farsi If there is anything I don't know, I just check directly on the dictionary in this way, of course I can speak with people but sometimes I just can't find anyone to talk If I want to practiced everyday I just talk to myself Like a mirror Now your Farsi is very good When we are in Turkey, we always try to speak Chinese at home But you just said that I didn't help you Iclal, are you ok? Good conversation I don't drink tea Really, you've been learning Persian since a year or two? 1.5 year wonderful And now we speak in German! Finally, yes Who speaks German here? You and? A little bit Ok you have to choose, you can have a question here But Iclal's German is very good, much better than mine I hope we can get a simple topic! You do it, you do it, yes! OK.Which question? Recommend one best resource to learn this language A very complicated question... Yes, very complicated yep I think we mean only one resource yeah Yes, there is only one resource to learn German There is.. number one. Yes, Deutsche Welle yeah Yes, Deutsche Welle and Nico's Weg Nico's Weg, that's very nice Yes it is very nice.

Hooray!!! May I take the questions? How to say yes in Russian? Thank you! And who speaks Russian? You do not speak.. Only you speak Russian, and I! Here are the questions! Is this language easy? Or not... we don't know. Sorry, I speak a little Russian My Russian is very very bad because Russian is very difficult Yes I want to learn Russian because I love Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan.. That's good all Russian-speaking countries And you? Do you think Russian is difficult? ah ha ha Hahaha.. good question When we talk about the Russian language, there is something to say. Because, I think the Russian language is certainly difficult Because even if I speak this language fluently, it was very difficult for me I even remember the times when I cried while studying Russian, I even got sick But now I can at least express my thoughts freely. And I think that I found new methods when I was learning Russian and they helped me a lot for example What materials do you use for example, materials on the Internet, books, songs, to learn Russian? Yes, the book "Говорите Правильно" "Говорите Правильно" Yes, I know this book. well the last one uh oh tell the story of learning this language ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha i will just cry Yes, perfect .. You start in china my friend was Italian For this reason I learned Italian Italian is very easy for me Because it is very similar to French and Spanish Yes, of course. and you? Oh well .. Hello Italian friends, here I’m speaking So my history with Italian started like this in 2020 when I started to be interested in the Italian language And the main reason was the Italian songs that I had been listening to at this time After listening to all these Italian songs I thought that yes, I want to learn Italian Or also Italian, because at that time I was speaking French at an advanced level but I also wanted to add Italian And then I started learning Italian, after a few months I switched to Spanish but anyways... Nevertheless, I think that Italian is now one of my favorite languages let's say with French, and we hope it will be so Thank you!!
