Channel Title: Couch Polyglot Channel Description: Welcome, willkommen, bienvenu, bienvenido, benvingut, benvenuto, добро пожаловать, välkommen! I am Laura and I am a Couch Polyglot! 😄 Are you a Couch Polyglot too? Do you love learning languages in a fun, relaxed way and without leaving your couch? My philosophy: learning languages should not be about being perfect, but about exploring and being able to laugh at your own mistakes. We are all human and we all make them 😁 I love all languages equally and so you will find a little bit of everything: polyglot interviews, progress videos and learning material for Spanish, Catalan and German. The videos are in different languages and in all non-English videos you can activate subtitles if you want. Have fun and hope to see you around! If you want to support me and help me to grow, please: - Interact in the videos (like, comment) 👍 - Share my content 🎁 - Support me as a Patreon or on Ko-Fi: https://www.patreon.com/couchpolyglot or ko-fi.com/lauracouchpolyglot🥰 <video> When Spanish Isn’t the Same: Mexico vs. Spain #shorts Description: Like in any other language, Spanish has different dialects and depending on the dialect you speak, you will use one word or another. I find it enriching and sometimes it can cause small misunderstandings or be funny. Hope you like this video! Feel free to share your own stories about different in dialects in the comment section.

Description: In 2020 I started this YouTube channel. With a few exceptions, I have been posting almost weekly since then.

What would you like to have to become a Patreon? My plan is to do as follows: - Publish less often but focus on quality more than on quantity - Focus on Patreon and Member only content tailored for the ones supporting the channel Of course, I am open to your feedback and ideas.

He actually started in his early twenties as a monolingual speaker of Spanish and he not only managed to learn English, but he was able to reach a proficient level and now he even has his own podcast and his own community. In this video, Max will share language learning tips, but he will also open up about what his challenges were when getting started and what strategies helped him the most both for effective learning as well as regarding mindset issues. Max's story shows that it is never too late to learn. Just because you did not learn a language (or something else) as a kid or as a teenager, does not mean that you can not learn it as an adult. Please make sure to leave a comment and indicate what has helped you the most, what are are your favourite resources, what challenges you've faced and how you personally dealt with them. I would love to learn about your language learning success stories! :) Here is an overview to navigate the different topics we discussed: 00:00 - Is it the same to learn a language as a polyglot or as a monolingual adult? 01:16 - Is the function of a teacher to TEACH?

Description

Welcome, willkommen, bienvenu, bienvenido, benvingut, benvenuto, добро пожаловать, välkommen!

I am Laura and I am a Couch Polyglot! 😄

Are you a Couch Polyglot too? Do you love learning languages in a fun, relaxed way and without leaving your couch?
My philosophy: learning languages should not be about being perfect, but about exploring and being able to laugh at your own mistakes. We are all human and we all make them 😁

I love all languages equally and so you will find a little bit of everything: polyglot interviews, progress videos and learning material for Spanish, Catalan and German. The videos are in different languages and in all non-English videos you can activate subtitles if you want.

Have fun and hope to see you around!
