I hope some of these can be helpful for you as well!

So, did you start learning a new language this year?
Share in the comments, I really want to hear what you've been up to! :)
By the way, we just hit 25K SUBSCRIBERS and I'd like to THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for your continued support, despite the various gaps in my activity here on UA-cam!

Happy everything! ;)

    I'm curious if while learning it, have you found any help from knowing Italian. Personally, I think they are much more related than people think, for example, I am learning Italian at the moment, and due to the similarities it has to Romanian it's much easier to learn it than other languages (here I am speaking primarily about German, which I am also trying to learn for some time now) and even other Romance languages such as French for example (which I have also "studied" for some time, but was a much more difficult process than learning Italian).

    Watching your video this morning Stefano made this idea/ analogy come to mind. When things are not going well could be expressed as trying to push two north magnet ends together. Try as you may, it just doesn't click but when things do fall into place is when the south and north crash together !

    It must be pretty cool to see a foreigner speak your native language when most of the world doesn't know very much about it or Finland as a country, when it can be a very difficult language to learn, and when it has nowhere near the number of speakers, native and non-native combined as, say, Spanish.

    Hello from Russia. In such funny times as today, it is especially interesting to learn about the life of people in Finland. And at the same time, I want to attract interest in the history of this country, since I collect coins of the Principality of Finland, when the country was part of the Russian Empire until 1917. I will be glad to hear your opinions under my new video on this topic, and I would like to find like-minded people on the topic from Finland, to see the antique shops of this country. I will be glad!

Mi hai trasmesso una grande dose di nuove motivazioni. Saludos cariñosos de Polonia! :):):)
