I post videos sharing my honest experience learning, improving, and maintaining multiple languages, and tips and advice based on the things I've learned along the way. My goal is to create a supportive community of people who love languages and the things we can do with them as much as I do! My current languages-- English (native), French, German, Spanish, Italian, and Bulgarian.

    Hello! I was wondering would it be possible either to send me the free ones (the first link) or change the link in the description because it does not work. Thank you ❤

    That same Kinokuniya is what motivated me to start studying Japanese more seriously! It’s been a really fun year since then.

    I have found that a conversation based lesson is best for me if I am at least an A2 in the language. I haven’t found anything that really works for me in the lower levels. (A1 and absolute beginner.) It’s probably best to wait until you are closer to an A2 level, in my opinion. Italki doesn’t really seem appropriate for persons of less than an A2 level. I have been using iTalki for several languages over several years, and have dropped most as a result. I will probably only use iTalki for Spanish until my German level is high enough.

    I'm currently in this process with studying german. I took a break during the holiday season and than came back full force because I was preparing for proficiency exam. I got the certificate in february and haven't studied ever since. I tried to engage in reviewing lessons but I'm struggling to make it a habit again 😥 It's tempting to be critical with myself but I'm trying to take it easy and acknowledge that there's too many things happennig right now in my life 😅

Now I'm curious to watch your video about learning like Elysse!
