I love that “a language is a language”. It’s such a beautiful point, all languages have value no matter how many speak them or whether they are “dead” or “living”.
Thank you Steve! Very helpful resources. Always enjoying “seeing” you and learning from you.
Hola Steve! The god of languages! I’m Sebastian from Chile, i’m 21 years old and in the last months you became in one of the greatest inspiration of life, absolutely a legend! Thanks for your advices, keep doing, nos vemos!!!
Hello Steve, LingQ is great and keeps getting better. Thanks for sharing the resources Pocket Cast and Happy Scribe. Looking forward to checking them out.
Great presentation and information, Steve. As a long time multiple language learner, I strongly agree with you and Stephen Krashen on the importance of comprehensible input and the power of reading. I prefer the term language lover over polyglot, since I like to dabble in languages I may never become proficient in. I like that the Montreal conference is called LangFest. Living in a bilingual city on the Mexican border, I really enjoyed the atmosphere in Montreal in 2019. I’m currently leading a small weekly online study group in French and another in Japanese.
I’m also auditing an online University Russian class.
In 1990, I had the privilege to spend a week in a small village south of Mexico City where many of the older people were speaking Nahuatl and many of the traditional ways were still practiced. I look forward to the Nahuatl materials you talked about.
Thank you,

Hi Steve! Michael from Poland here. Because of excellent work you have done on your YT channel I am so keen language learner now! Also a huge proponent of your approach based on input activities like listening and reading. Thank you for this big load of motivation!
Another great presentation here! For the last 3 years I have been listening to several different podcasts about variety of subjects. Now I am trying to convince my friends to your language learning approach.
Thank you for all and keep doing !
Thank you for your advice. I use LingQ and study Italian and Spanish. Also, I watch your YouTube in English and Japanese (I am Japanese, and I live in the U.S. currently.) You always give us the encouragement and motivation to keep learning the foreign languages.
Thank you, Steve for your advice. I agree with you. Also in language education at school, content must be comprehensible and compelling. Only recently I started encouraging students to listen to podcasts. I will do this more often thanks to your advice.
