she's exhausting to listen to… but interesting anyway

Excellent interview!

I would love to learn Portuguese, but I think it would be "portuñol" for a while. When I started Italian, it was "itañol", but it did get better over time 😀

Thank you so much for those inspiring videos, Mr. Steve. You are such an inspiration to me in my language learning journey. I felt a little bit demotivated a few weeks ago, but now I know what I have to do and how I can improve and learn more every day.

Lamentável que fizeram comigo, não uso o App há meses, desde a atualização que mudou layout eu parei de usá-lo, mas mesmo assim meu cobraram a assinatura no último dia 21, valor de R$284,00, mandei um e-mail solicitando o reembolso, já que não é justo eu pagar por algo que não uso há meses, mas me ignoraram e não responderam o e-mail, simplesmente levei um golpe, a Play Store também disse que não fará o reembolso. Lamentável!

Muito legal e inspirador !

Steve, are you so fervent in playing golf as well? Could be a pertinent strategy listening to golf podcasts in a foreign language, hence combining golf with languages.

I couldn't help but smile when you started talking about your Egyptian friend and his/her family. That shit is amazing and everything language learning is about!

90% of words and Grammar aren't the same between Portuguese and Spanish.
When people say that Spanish is similar to Portuguese, probably she or he won't speak so well one of them. It's necessary to see well the difference between Portuguese and Spanish.
I'll search for her here on YouTube. 🇧🇷🇧🇷

Languange learning is a blast topic i also learn english english is my second languange but i speak english every day in What'sApp speaking group english is challenging for me hehe.😊

Great video! I totally agree on the interference – it will happen. But curiously, for me, it doesn't matter at all, if the languages are related – if I don't have enough practice in one language, others will creep in and it doesn't matter how similar they are. Spanish used to creep in my German, now it does in my Greek. And those languages have nothing in common. But because my Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian are now fluent, there is no mixing whatsoever. Is anyone else like that? I'd be interested to know. Because for me, it was never about "how closely related are those languages", it was always about "how much speaking practice have I done".

Great interview! very inspiring

Luca Lampariello created a video on youtube " how to fall in love with a language " or something like that. First comes interest, then you get passionate or not. Keeping the passion alive is like trying to keep your campfire alight when it's spitting with rain ! You have to keep at it or lose it. People give up too easily I think.

I think that the best way to learn a language is to acquire the language listening every day like children do. Absorb a language and that the roles of grammar can help to set up the rest.

Wonderful story. La passione e la forza di volontà ti possono portare ovunque. Complimenti!

Hi Jo! Good to see you here.
I am a teacher in a Japanese high school and I am very interested in making languages in school more useful. I hate that people come out of school unable to speak and I really want to do something about it. But I feel like I am fighting the students, the textbook, the system, all of Japan… lol

Also, really interested in the Portunhol convo. I have a degree in French and Spanish, so my Spanish is relatively high. I can NOT convince myself to study Portuguese. My brain thinks I already know it. Why should I study? I spent a couple months in Brazil for the Olympics, so I speak decently, but there is a lot I don’t know. Like, I am fluent, but I legit do not know the past tense. Lol.

Woow cool good to see Jo here. Im big fan of hers too. Well done guys. Cheers.

"Survival mode",I like that 😄!

Great interview. I struggle with the Spanish & Portuguese confusion as well. Excellent tips in this video.

Şu an Türkiye'de saat 5 ,orada saat kaç olduğunu merak ediyorum 😊

Aún no he experimentado estar en un país entero donde hablen un idioma que no sea la mía…espero poder comenzar a viajar en el futuro

I do like Eff U attitude of some language learners who don’t like or respect rules imposed by others when it comes to learning.

Hottie! Sorry Steve not you buddy .

👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I listened to both of the podcasts and you both are so inspiring. I’m currently learning Japanese and whenever I’m feeling discouraged you or Jo inspire me to keep going 💛

It was such a pleasure talking about this with you Steve! Glad we connected :)! Cheers to growing our brains!
