to practice Louis Laurie this week and I
think that's I mean Chinese sometimes so
because what got you interested in
foreign languages in the first place
I've always been like interested in
languages like since I was really little
I used to be interested in French and
the first time I started learning French
was when I was 8 Wow and I would just
kind of that was like the beginning
opens yeah so I would try to fight what
I could online go into the bookshop and
they'd have like bird that's language
yeah DVDs I don't know I just really
liked languages I'd like to read things
and they need to languages I think that
Fosters so what are your favorite books
so I mostly read French books like oh we
can move rid the piste a great adventure
and then the pity points is my favorite
book and I have tried to eat that in
Korean or Japanese cuz it's like such a
good another like easy books yeah
but like eventually I'd like to get to
the level where I can read like Haruki
Murakami

his books in Japanese yeah you know
you're a big thing yeah yeah and I have
like a few books in Russian I have like

want to thank someone for their hard
work you can sit what kind of some of
these it's I'm here tired it's like

embarrassing language learning moments I
remember I was volunteering at this
human rights conference and everyone
like there was no one thing who like
English was they need to language like
it was per French or like Italian
Spanish and this guy comes up to me and
he asks me something in French and I was
just like what's fringe and then he
repeats it and I'm like and he was like

embarrassing because you know it's worse
when you know it and you did that
so you brought some treats for us can

uh guys are all chanel language looking
but these are the ones I quit another
day just because talent why not my
godmother is Italians very difficult my
god mom actually became fluent in
Italian in six months that's amazing
because she she moved there and she was
like well no one speaks English so you
know my French books that are really
good I know you're a practice makes
perfect it's great yeah you gave me one
this looks familiar it's a really good
book it's really nice just and then you
know just nice because that's not good
Debbie to deal with the hall this is so
random

a thing is there anybody you know just a
couple of Martian books this one is like
my price position my baby book baby it
was printed in the Soviet Union and

examples in here they often say the
comrade said to the other comrade it's
you're not gonna learn looks like this

Russian France yeah I can try it
ah solution
good luck I knew about Richard with that
so I tried okay Tom all she wants is a
smile and they go through everything
that you need oh I have like shells of
Korean language books on the very first
crew Korean bucket would help me learn
was Korean for dummies yes these are all
Japanese OH
Yoji Gandhi see the good boom
politicking in this book is really good
as well you're going to be recommended
yeah Japanese for busy people this is a
Booker but actually from the Japanese
school and it's to practice your no she
didn't get that from the Japanese school
do they sell books they someone on that
spring day
really you got a Grammy but do they sell
Japanese book yeah I have a whole bunch
of little kids books are you serious
like I have yeah they do
[Music]
and then this is cam cam which was the
best not being made anymore
I don't understand why and then I'll
read maca like this one is the Sailor
Moon yeah it's like a little to say the
balloon the Japanese when I can Nestle
I mean what's nice of this booty tonight
yeah yeah and in either just the books
so this one's for Russian right yeah
what's inside wow that looks difficult
it is hot
there's not much and then this is just
Korean I did a lot of Korean and then up
we're going and then yeah these are just
some things like Chinese and but mostly
I work out of the yeah
[Music]
and this is just like a really nice book
that we have in my house that I use a
lot and it's English Afrikaans more than
two to six why not and who knew Wow so
those are all solid feeling it's like a
book almost everyone has them a house
and South Africa
well I must not be so good or fictional
so what are you over top three language
learning tips find something you enjoy
and use that to learn your languages
like if you like anime
if you want to enemy because they're
like subconsciously seeps into your
brain and then watch it in the original
language if you like kdramas watch
kdramas because that's a fun way of
learning you're gonna realize that
you're learning it right but I do things
like I put my computer in a different
language I put my phone in a different
manner because you wanna see it yeah and
you constantly learning new words yeah
so you constantly learning it improves
your vocab because both have is my
biggest problem even in English I'm not
one really to make friends so I don't
talk a lot to people I know like Lindy
talks a lot to people on that I love
talking to strangers most of my friends
are people I've never met
so like I'm really trying to do that so
I'm more like a new church other kind of
person ghanians and it kind of listened
so I'll do things like watch youtube
videos and people are different
like people speaking different languages
but like vlogs and stuff different
youtubers who's native languages
in English and then those make vlogs and
makeup videos I'm like right because I
make my people resort to okay so I'm
learning Korean and I have to go look
for a Korean learning lesson but yeah I
watched someone some random crane
persons vlog and I didn't really get to
know the natural language you really get
to see how they like this as well
they're living in those countries you
really get to them you learn that
culture yeah you do like you see the
foods you see like the music that they
listen to and the makeup brands if
you're interested like it makeup do you
have anything else you want to say to
the world young people going in and out
how much the money well this is
something I'm super passionate about but
respect cultures are sizing them you
know so respected without trying to
patronize it and pretend that it's yours
yeah like you can no language at almost
any opportunity that you have and you
don't need access to these fancy books
there's a lot of different resources
online and also I think it's really also
nice to learn languages that are native
to way you are if you have different yes
I think that's what I read here do max
because language is meant for
communication communicate with the
people around you and you can learn so
much from just the people that are
living around here is to you so on that
note that's all for today thank you for
sharing your extensive book collection
with us
that's like nothing so so yeah thanks
for watching everyone
well hey Tommy pile
you
