Video - Speaking 4,5 languages

Hello, my amazing people!

Today I have a video for you. It's a sort of a language challenge I've seen on Youtube for some time now.

I'm just speaking the languages I can speak and explain to you how and why I've learned them.

1. Ukrainian - my mother tongue

2. Russian - my second language (or one of two first, because I'm bilingual)

3. English - obligatory in Ukrainian schools and highly addictive, haha

4. Italian - because it's impossible to live in Sicily without speaking Italian (unless you want to pay 15 euro for something that costs 1.50)

So if you are interested, click through and watch. And please, like and subscribe, if you enjoy my content. This way you will not miss new videos. 

Have a great day and see you around!

#45daysofblogging 19: Learning a new language (in a painless way)

Day 19 - September 5

Today I started learning French for the first time in my life. I decided to do it for a combination of reasons (from it being free for students to the specifics of my research and the communities I'm working with), but what's done is done - I've signed up, survived the first lesson and now am successfully postponing a lovely date I have with my homework. 

Honestly - I'm not that good at learning languages (I will explain why later). But I'm way to curious ( and talkative) for not learning the languages if I have an opportunity. During my EVS time I got face to face with Italian and had to conquer it to survive in Palermo (I'm not exaggerating - it's extremely hard to live here without speaking Italian). This experience not only gave me a new language skills (even thought in my opinion I'm still very far away from being fluent), but also brought a few insights about how I learn best and what I need to do to be able to speak a new language at least a bit.
