  • I’ve posted about being the world’s shittiest polyglot multiple times. Here’s my secret :

    • Learn turkish as a child
    • Immersion learning in the UK from child to adult.
    • German classes for five years as a child to teen. Due to lack of dedication (outside of singing Rammstein songs) , lose the entirety of my german capabilities, despite getting a good grade.
    • Learning Spanish as an adult. Started with night school to build a foundation, then kept at it with media consumption and duolingo. Got A2 certification. Moved to Rio De La Plata and start immersion learning. Pandemic and having a child ruined my immersion learning, as did work from home, so, responsibilities are all at home, so I don’t get to leave the house for speech opportunities much.

    My Spanish is OK. My Turkish struggles. English is my primary language. While my spanish isn’t as good as my english, I think “learning a language as an adult is impossible” is bullshit, but accents are difficult to get rid of (I still say Üstedes)
