Alina’s story

My name is Alina. I’m currently 22 years old, and I was born in Berlin, Germany. Therefore, German is my native language. Then I learned English and Spanish in school and spent 10 months in Ecuador when I was 16 so after that, I felt comfortable speaking these two languages. In September 2018 I traveled to Japan for the first time and I instantly fell in love with the country, the people, and the

culture. I am also a big fan of cultural shocks and I really enjoy them (unless I see other people suffer, then, of course, there is nothing to enjoy). What I want to say is that I was fascinated by Japan because the culture was a whole new world to me. So after that trip, I didn’t think about it for too long and started learning Japanese. I was not so much of an anime fan, so people were often confused about my reasons. They are really simple. I just noticed that Japanese people were often too nervous to talk in English, or they didn’t know the language, but still, they were putting so much effort to help me with anything. I felt so sorry because I couldn’t express how thankful and happy I was and I felt the need to communicate more with them. Also, I noticed that the best restaurants were usually not easy to find for tourists because they were written in Japanese and didn’t seem like a big deal from the outside. In consequence, I felt like I was missing out on a huge part of the culture, which turned out to be true. I went to Japan two more times, and when I started speaking Japanese, I got to know so many kind Japanese people who I am in contact with until today. At this point, I’ve been studying Japanese for 2 years in total, with a few breaks where I didn’t feel motivated. It’s not perfect, but I can carry a conversation and I’m extremely proud of myself. Also, I came to realize that the way we were taught languages in school took way too long. If you just start to study on your own and really put effort, you can reach a conversational level in one year. I don’t know every word, but I do feel comfortable when speaking Japanese. Originally, I didn’t plan to study more languages, but now I set my personal goal: speaking 5 languages fluently. My next challenge is going to be Korean. You can find me on Instagram under the username germanpotato__. I teach German slang words that you won’t find in a textbook. I created this page because when I started to learn Japanese, I was looking for sources and found great YouTube channels and Instagram pages which were a big help. I was grateful for the people who did that in their free time just to help people like me. So I decided to become that kind of person myself and I created my Instagram page. Also, I think slang words, even though they might be weird sometimes, are essential for becoming fluent and sounding natural. Still, language schools only teach German in a way that people meet Germans in a bar and think they are speaking another language.

Maybe you are learning German and my page will help you in the process. Or maybe I could motivate you to study another language you were always thinking about learning? If so, I’m really happy and wish you lots of success!

Studying and teaching languages are the biggest passions of my life and I’d like to share with you how I learned Romanian :) First of all, you need a strong motivation. Without a goal to reach is impossible to learn a language effectively. My motivation was very strong, linked to a family project and I needed to communicate with Romanian people without translators in between. I also had the chance to go to Romania 4 times per year for 2 years, spending there some days. The immersive experience in the country helps a lot to accelerate the process of learning. I also decided that I wanted to invest money in this language and I started some online private lessons with a very good teacher that applied with me the natural method, with few grammars and focusing a lot on the vocabulary and the conversation. I also downloaded the App of one of the local Romanian TV and I started watching or reading every day the news coming from the Country. When I reached a good conversational level, I looked for a language exchange partner in order to practice every week the language. I used one of the language exchange Apps available and I found a person that became a good friend! Every week we have one hour of conversation, and we weekly write also messages on WhatsApp. Using the language for communicating with friends makes the language fun and helps you to stay motivated. Polyglots are like athletes: you need to train yourself every day. When you work, when you are on vacation, during the weekend, when you have the flu... Every day! Otherwise, the learning process is not effective. I can summarize my rules for an effective learning path: - Studying your target language every day at least 15 minutes - Finding a good language partner and maintaining a regular language exchange every week - Speaking with natives in every possible occasion - Reading daily news from the Countries of your target languages - Writing messages and letters every week - Listening a lot. - Looking for videos on YouTube about your passion and watching them in your target language

The more languages you know, the more you can learn because often they have a lot of common points :) Becoming a polyglot is one of the most beautiful achievements that you could desire for your life because it means to become rich, without money, to have the keys of the world, and no one can steal your knowledge :) See you on Instagram: @italian_with_chiara_polyglot 🡪 Daily Italian Flash Cards @chiara_travels_languages 🡪 My Traveller and Polyglot life

My journey learning Portuguese By Leneto

Hello, everybody! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ernesto, AKA @Lenetopolyglot on Instagram. I am from the volcanic lands of El Salvador, Central America. Spanish is my native language. I speak English, French, Portuguese and some Mandarin Chinese and Italian. I am currently working as an interpreter (English/Spanish). Also, I’ve been working as a language tutor for the last 6 years; I’ve tutored English, French,

POLYGLOT STORIES

Portuguese, Spanish, and sometimes Mandarin Chinese. I love helping people learning languages and sharing what I’ve learned. I started my language account in July 2018. My purpose was to share my language journey learning Mandarin Chinese to inspire people, but I noticed some people didn’t identify with my journey, so I started making memes. But I found many language pages that also make memes, then, I asked myself: “What’s your main goal having this account?” and I remember that it was to inspire people. Optimism and Positivism have always been part of my life. I usually read motivational books or watch inspirational videos. I think that if we are very positive about our language journey we’ll reach our goals. I don’t like to say “this language is difficult” because I feel like I’m blocking my mind to learn my target languages. I prefer to embrace the uniqueness of each language I pick up and not question them. And since motivational quotes help me to be optimistic and keep going, I decided to post only motivational stuff based on what read and what motivates me to keep learning.

My journey learning Portuguese started back in 2013. I was working in a call center as a bilingual agent (English/Spanish). My English had improved a lot after teaching myself English for over a year and a half. English has been one of the most challenging languages I’ve ever learned, and I think it's related to the fact that it was the first language I taught myself. I didn’t know what I was doing; so I tried different techniques to learn. After watching Timothy Doner videos speaking in many languages in 2012, I felt inspired to keep learning more. He made me believe that I could learn anything. He’s always been my biggest inspiration to learn languages. So, after reaching a good level in English, I was able to see that I could add more languages. I felt like I’ve climbed a big mountain that seemed impossible to conquer, but I was able to do it. Then, I felt like I could climb more “Mountains” as one might say.

I picked up Portuguese because it was very close to Spanish, my native language. While learning Portuguese, I met the warmest, nicest people I’ve ever met. And I fell in love with the Brazilian culture and people. My former job at the call center required me to work 10 hours a day in a near city. I had to commute every day and it took me around 6 hours in total. I used to leave home at 4:45 early in the morning and get home around 8 Pm. It was very exhausting! I started learning phrases and grammar during my break time at work. I used to listen to podcasts while commuting. I also texted some Brazilians when I wasn’t working. Most of the information I found to learn Portuguese was just Portuguese spoken in Rio de Janeiro. I fell in love with that kind of variety because it sounds very different from Spanish. Since day one, I started watching Brazilian soap operas one or two hours a day. After watching Brazilian TV for over a month, I was able to understand around 95% of what they said. The website that helped to connect with Portuguese speakers was www.mixxer.com. People who use Mixxer are there just to practice their speaking skills on Skype. My first language exchange was with a girl from São Paulo who was learning Spanish. Both of us didn’t know each other’s languages, but we tried to communicate regularly. At that time, I met more Brazilians, and we used to talk 2 or 3 hours on Skype on daily basis. We spoke half of the time in English or Spanish and the other half in Portuguese. I learned that Brazilians are friendly people and like to make friends online. During my days off, I used to spend my day watching movies and series in Portuguese, reading newspapers, and talking to Brazilians. As a result, I was spending around 5 or 6 hours learning Portuguese every day. After three months of learning Portuguese in this way, I was able to reach the conversational level without using Spanish or English.

I think the culture of the people who speak your target language influences whether you’ll reach fluency fast or not. For example, Brazilians are the nicest people I’ve ever met. They are outgoing and love to talk. I tried to learn some Hebrew and Japanese, but it was difficult to find people to practice with. So, I said to myself: “I’ll put these languages on hold for a while”. I love Hebrew, but I lacked a lot of tools to learn, and besides, there was no one to speak with. Japanese and Hebrew are still on my list, and I plan on learning them in the future. Now, I have more experience in learning and there are more tools available. Languages open doors. English helped me to get a bilingual job. Portuguese helped me to start teaching languages. So, after quitting my job at the call center, I applied as a language tutor in a language academy in my city. I got the job, because of Portuguese. They needed someone to teach basic Portuguese. And since I spoke English and Spanish, I could also teach in those languages. I didn’t have any experience teaching, but the company trained me and gave me the tools to do it. By the way, I met my ex-girlfriend because of the Portuguese language. She was learning Portuguese. I’m currently learning Italian, I’ve taken a break from Mandarin Chinese for some months. I can’t learn multiple languages at the same time. I wish I could. I tried learning German, Farsi, and Mandarin Chinese at the same time, but I failed. Mandarin is my priority, so I had to choose. Hope to continue learning German after reaching a good level in Mandarin Chinese. Next time, I’ll tell you how I learned another language.

In a nutshell, I can say that languages help you a lot in life. They open doors for you and help you to meet amazing people all over the world. So, don’t give up! Hang in there!

Daniella’s story

Hello everyone! I’m here to share a bit of my story with the languages I know. My name is Daniella, I’m Brazilian and my native language is Brazilian Portuguese. During school, I’ve always liked studying English, and as I grew up, a huge desire to live in the USA grew inside of me. When I was 16 years old, I was given the

POLYGLOT STORIES

opportunity to do so: live in Florida for a whole high school semester. I thought at that point I already knew English enough to communicate well since my English grades were always high, but I was so wrong!!! I really struggled to make myself understood since my pronunciation was so poor. But it was through those hard times that I accepted the challenge and learned lots. Dare to make mistakes! It will lead you to success. Well, it all happened in 2012. Years later, in 2015, when I was already in university studying my bachelor’s at the performing arts, I started to write a drama play based on a news story from Tanzania I had seen online. But I only got to know the existence of this country because the teacher had told us to write a dramatic scene from the news before writing the theater play, and as an artist, I am into unusual stories. So, I especially looked into this one which I found with bunches of luck. Thus, I got to research about the official languages in Tanzania and that’s how I got to Swahili. I was trying to use that in my play, but at the end, I didn’t finish it for lack of research. I told myself I would get back to it at some point later on. I didn’t until 2018, when I met a Tanzanian guy in Italy (a pretty unusual event) who made me believe it was God telling me I should learn Swahili. And so have been I! Oh, you must be asking yourself how I got to Italy: that was the turning point for me, a bilingual so far. Part of my family comes from Italy (both mom and dad sides) therefore I am a dual citizen Brazilian-Italian. In July 2016, my German “sister” came to Brazil to visit me and I got inspired to learn a third language. Which one though?! I decided to honor my ancestors (since I have the privilege of knowing where they are from) and learn Italian. Not only that, I decided I would try going on an exchange to Italy the following year. For that I would have to be a certified B2 speaker (intermediate-advanced). And I had 4 months until the test date to make it happen. I studied every single day I could in those 4 months and I self-taught myself into it thanks to all the online material I could find and to the kind Italian friends I’ve made online. And I passed the test in November 2016. Next thing I know is that I started both Spanish and German one month later because life is short. I only went to Italy in August 2017 and I had time to meet a lot of foreigners meanwhile. That includes a Japanese guy who not only inspired me to start studying Japanese but also helped me learn it. I started offering private English

classes since I had experience learning and self-teaching, and I thought it would be good to share that passion with others. Teaching others made me learn a lot! And then I went to Italy. My first friend there was from the Netherlands. I didn’t know anyone in Bologna, so it was easier to make friends with other foreigners. We started a small group of friends and this Dutch boy ended up bringing more Dutch friends to the group. Hearing them talking was just too precious. So I enrolled in a Dutch language course in university. And I loved it. It would be in the middle of the way between German and English, and it would often confuse me, but help me understand a lot. Before leaving, I went to Turkey with a Romanian friend and it was enough for me to fall in love with Turkish. We spent only 5 days there and I would be studying the language on Duolingo and practicing it live. In 5 days I could understand a lot! When you are really enjoying what you’re doing, no one can convince you otherwise. Coming back to Brazil I just started offering private classes of English, Italian and Spanish and I got hired by a couple of schools, which allowed me to take courses to improve my teaching techniques. In order to focus on improving my teaching skills, I stopped all the other languages to focus on those 3, but in the second semester of 2019 I hired a Swahili private teacher as a birthday gift. He is still my teacher now and we both learn lots from each other. Then in the beginning of 2020 I decided it was time to give French some focus by looking for a private teacher as well. Now I’m still teaching languages and learning those 2 just mentioned here. It is important to have focus and discipline, and if you can’t do it yourself, it is always good to have the help of a professional. I’ve been looking for a German teacher as well to get back on track, and I plan on going back to Dutch, Japanese and Turkish after I reach a better level of Swahili (which has been challenging to me, whileFrench comes easy - since I know 3 other Latin languages). Life may be challenging, but setting goals is really important to reach them. Organizing and planning where you want to be and the amount of time you have to get there may help you motivate and focus on your target. Best of luck, @polyglotminds

How did I become a polyglot? My story

Like many polyglots I assume, I became a polyglot by chance. I mean, it’s not something I had deliberately planned. My first contact with a foreign language was at the age of 15 years old in the year 2006. My friend told me: “Ludi, there’s a new school in the neighborhood, and we should enroll ourselves on the English course. Let’s do it!”. I was like

‘Really? I’m not sure but let’s go check it out just in case”. I ended up enrolling myself on the course and falling in love with the English language right after it (while my friend never attended one single lesson). I remember being SO EXCITED about my English classes that I started thinking what it would be like to actually DO THIS FOR A LIVING. I mean, only after a couple of months I knew I wanted to become a teacher of English. Isn’t that crazy? Because I was having such a pleasant experience learning English I decided to apply for the Letras course at the local University (‘Letras’ is the equivalent to Language and Arts). I studied fiercely to get in and all my hard work paid off. In February 2009 I started my graduation course to become an English Language Teacher. On my freshman year of college, I took Spanish lessons that were included in the curriculum. I learned the basic grammar structures and some vocabulary that allowed me to get by in Spanish without recurring to ‘portunhol’ so much (portunhol = a mixture of Português and Español). One year later in 2010, I started another foreign language. My thought was: ‘If learning two languages was so cool let alone learning a third one’. That’s how I started taking French lessons. I enrolled on a famous language school in Brazil and I took a course for a period of 1 and a half year. I was again having the same excitement I felt when learning English and Spanish. I felt such a sense of achievement and fulfillment when I could communicate my first sentences in French. When I met with a native speaker in my city Londrina and I could actually have a dialogue, I felt so proud of myself, and I was sure this path was for me. For about 7 years I focused on my career as an English teacher, so I did not recycle my knowledge of the other foreign languages. It was also during this period that I decided to spend some time living in the USA. I wanted to have both the technical knowledge of university and the experience of actually living in a country where English is spoken.

In 2018, after coming back home to Brazil, I decided to start studying French again. I realize that my French wasn’t so dead as I thought it was. I start watching YouTube videos, watching Netflix series (with subtitles in French), reading blog posts about the subjects of my interests, and taking notes of as much vocabulary as I can. I also revise this vocabulary on a daily basis to constantly refresh my memory. I schedule online lessons on iTalki (a website where you can find online tutors of any language, most of them being native speakers) and after a couple of months, I am already telling a story in French. Another year goes by and now it’s 2019. I decide I want to take an international trip to Europe so I can meet people and put all my languages into practice so I book a trip to Paris. When I was booking the ticket, the website showed an offer with 30% discount if you booked the same ticket with a stopover in Rome. Then I think: ‘Wow, Rome? Italy? I never really felt attracted to the Italian language…but wait, Ludi. Maybe you say that because you’ve never really studied the language. I guess this is an opportunity to start learning ITALIAN’. Guess what I did? I booked the ticket and started planning the trip 6 months in advance. The following day I enrolled myself on the Italian language school in my hometown. I studied 3 months at the school with the traditional method: a coursebook and a teacher, which is what has always worked for me and which is what I recommend to absolute beginners of any language. Then, as I was learning SO FAST, I decided to quit the course and study on my own. Again, I start ed watching lessons videos on YouTube, Netflix shows with audio and subtitles in Italian and taking online lessons on iTalki. When the trip day arrived and I stepped my foot in Rome, I COULDN’T BELIEVE MY EARS when I heard myself chatting with the taxi driver about the politics in Brazil and in Italy. Finally, in March 2020 I decided to start learning RUSSIAN because…just because. I have a Brazilian friend who also learned Russian and she was teaching 3 lessons FOR FREE. Like, what? TEACHING FOR FREE? Yup. She offered these lessons just because she wanted to refresh her memory herself. She was also giving away the Russian textbook she used to learn the language so I ended up

getting FREE MATERIAL (text and audio) and decided to carry on the studies by myself. To the day I write this, it’s been 6 months since I started the Russian challenge and I’m telling you IT’S NOT EASY. I still struggle to memorize simple phrases like ‘я люблю заниматься спортом’ (I love practicing sports) or “Я люблю путешествовать’ (I love traveling). These letters of the alphabet make me confused and sometimes it takes me a few seconds to recall what letter makes what sound. That’s part of the process, though. I know after some time it will become automatic and the level of difficulty starts going down. Learning a language requires A LOT OF dedication and consistency but the results are incredibly worth it. When I look at the future, I think to myself: if by the age of 31 I already know 5 languages (and I'm in the process of learning the sixth one), what does the future hold for me when I'm 40? 50? Honestly, I can't say it. Maybe I will go another 10 years just practicing the languages I know (and perfecting my Russian which I know will take a LONG time). Maybe 10 years from now I will have learned other 3 languages. What I know is that learning languages today is what keeps me alive and what makes me get up in the morning with a feeling of 'I am making my life worth it'. Instagram account: @brazilianpolyglot

Katharina’s story

Funny enough, today was my first day in my French studies, where I started with basic grammar and basic sentences as usual. I had similar days like this, starting out learning a language, just in other circumstances, with another vision, and for

POLYGLOT STORIES

me, every time it is a different journey with different results, even if the strategies, effort, and love that's put in is the same. My name is Katharina, born and raised in a region (North of Italy, South Tyrol) where by the time you graduate middle school, you are well off using 3 languages. Now imagine if your family or yourself teach you additional ones, Polyglot is already in your DNA. This was the case for me, I speak 6 languages now, 5 of them confidently and this number is growing, in fact, I'm confident that I'll soon be able to hold a French conversation. Give me a couple of months from today, and I'll show you my results on YouTube and IG. Why am I so sure about this? Language learning is hard, you need to be talented and you need to invest into expensive 1 on 1 courses, right? Completely wrong, for me at least. The reason why I learned languages so fast and so many of them is because I put myself into the winning position! My key takeaways are: 1. I am open for conversation and (sometimes even for embarrassment). 2. Contradiction to the key above: I don't feel embarrassed about making mistakes (it's me leaving my comfort zone) 3. I learn and practice things I'll actually use. I share my language journey of my languages on my Instagram @iamkatharinafink with the goal to create a go-to platform for language learners. I am confident and I know that following or even working with me can take your languages and mindset towards them to another level. I wish you all good language studies and I'll see you on my platforms.

Serira’s journey learning German

Hello! Hallo! My name is Serira a crazy girl for languages And this is how I started to learn German I started to learn German exactly the day I Finished My B2 level in English I never forget the day I started German. I went to class and there were not many students. The teacher started to teach some basic Rules in German, and it was a fun class but when it finished I arrived home and I took a pill for my headache, then I rested Lol

✌It was a little hard but I didn’t want to give up because I never do ✌🏻 I’m so happy that first year learning German because I just focused on it, and I didn’t start learning other languages at that time because I never thought I wanted to be polyglot someday. German grammar is not sweet unless you start to speak when you start to speak German you feel like that you are powerful and so smart Based on my personal experience learning languages I think German is a unique language and also easier than Spanish. If you want to start learning German, I suggest learning only German until the B1 level or maximum just another language not with many languages at the same time because if you don’t focus enough on it, you can have many problems even in the C1 level (If you achieve it 😬) The reason why I started to learn is that I heard it's not an easy language so was a good challenge for me If you want to learn German, study daily, and don’t forget about listening to podcasts in German even if you don’t understand any word. Even if you study German a lot, don’t forget that there isn’t any problem if you make mistakes when you speak, the problem might be if you don’t try to learn from your mistakes.

Hugo’s story

Hello, my name is Hugo and I’m French. I don’t really remember why or how I got interested in languages. Of course, I speak French as my mother tongue. I started learning German in school pretty early (around 4 years old) because I lived in Alsace (near Germany and during first school years people learn German, and English comes later). Since I was very young it wasn’t intensive learning and my German isn’t really good (I didn’t even know the existence of cases).

POLYGLOT STORIES

My parents forced me to attend English classes outside of school because it’s important, but I was completely lost and my classmates were older people, so I didn’t like it at all. When I moved to the southern part of France, I started learning English and it came pretty naturally. It took me a few weeks to reach the average level. Then, I don’t really remember how was my attitude about languages but I did knew a few words in other languages (like Italian, Swahili, or Spanish) and I even learnt how to say hello in around 15 languages. However, it wasn’t enough to speak or converse (even a little bit). At that time I started to travel a lot too, and I learnt local words (like ،‫ ال‬،‫سالم عليكم‬ ‫حبيبي‬،... in Egyptian Arabic (2010) and Sinhalese words that I have unfortunately forgotten). I started learning Spanish at 12 at the school. I was pretty good and I liked languages (even dead languages: I took Latin at 11 and Ancient Greek at 13 for “fun” whereas my classmates took them for bonus points) Unfortunately, the way it’s taught doesn’t allow you to speak these languages. I knew I wanted to learn Chinese in engineering school but I had to wait. I did 21 lessons in Dutch Duolingo a year and a half ago (I already did few in other languages before but so few that it’s insignificant) I started to follow language pages on Instagram one year ago and in October (I think). Since a language page posted something encouraging us to talk between ourselves and helping each other I postulated for French. I met random people but I sympathized with a Brazilian polyglot, and we’re still discussing and helping each other In January, I started to learn a little bit of Portuguese because it’s close to French and Spanish and I felt guilty not learning it and having a Brazilian friend with whom I chatted every day. (I didn’t want to start right away because it wasn’t a

language I liked a lot or interested me and since my studies were intense I thought I didn’t have enough time for it) I started learning Portuguese last January on Duolingo and I did 30 lessons Then quarantine said “hello!” And I had to download discord for classes. Being bored and seeing an ad for a language server I decided to join it since I already had discord. There were few problems and I’m now on a new discord server where I’ve learnt a little bit of Vietnamese, Hungarian, and other languages I’ll finally start Chinese in a few weeks So now I speak French fluently and I can have conversations in Spanish and English without major problems. I can have one in Portuguese but I still make a lot of mistakes. And I’ve learnt the basics of Vietnamese, Hungarian, German, and Serbo-Croatian. I also made notes for Afrikaans, Arabic, Albanian, Icelandic, Polish, Turkish, and a lot of other languages. That’s all folks Instagram account:
