OK if you've reached the end of the description of THIS video then you really need something to do. There are a lot of "clues" as to my next language in this video but some of them are misdirection. Give me your best theory as to which language I'll be learning and what clue you're basing it on. Get it right and I'll put your comment in the next video.

Argh! I can’t believe how invested I was in that video! You could give the show runners at HBO a run for their money… When you mentioned Turkish at the start I was really excited. I have a ‘can get by’ level in French (but actually don’t like it so never had the motivation to continue), and like you have been invested heavily in Swedish. Met a guy from Turkey a few years ago and have been dating him ever since, but was fully invested in Swedish and didn’t want to distract myself from that. But now I figure I’m good enough at Swedish that I can start to learn one of his languages (he’s a Kurd, so it was a toss up between Kurdish and Turkish). So, you can imagine, at the start I was thinking we were going to be language twins! I’m even half way through Olly’s course in Turkish! 😂 I’m guessing that’s not the language you’ve chosen (proximity to Australia wise, because I can’t imagine a club or organisation forking out long distance fees, I’d guess Japanese… your son could be a master chess player or something though so what do I know?), but still. I can’t wait for the second instalment!

1:09 I relate to this heavily! My first language is Spanish and I can’t pick up any romance languages without being immediately bored. I’ve been in an on and off again relationship with Brazilian Portuguese for a solid year now. I (very) recently tried to pick up German but it sounds too similar to English and is starting to lose its charm on me. I took Japanese classes for a couple years and want to get into it again since it’s completely different from the languages I’m already fluent in.

There’s 8 story learning courses and of those, I’m ruling out Turkish and French. You said Turkish was too niche to gain much of a YT audience, and you already have enough of a background with French that I think you’d choose something else to dabble in. I’m going to guess Japanese because 1. I think you want to take all your newfound language learning skill and apply it to something difficult to see how it goes 2. It’s the most popular refold language so there’s crossover potential 3. Japan just seems like a country where they’d host some kind of crazy international robotics competition (or similar, I don’t know that it’s robotics). Could be way off but this is my best working theory. Of course Mandarin also fulfills these 3 criteria so *shrug*. You’ve made this very difficult, Lamont! Edit: Final answer Japanese because it's the only red and white flag (besides Turkish, which he's not doing)

I'm thinking about focusing on Portuguese next year because there are a couple books I want to read in the original language. This might keep my interest!

Your son "builds things" for competition and I know someone who worked at an illegal Korean daycare centre the taught kids to make basic robots. So japanese seems most likely. Latin words are probably just a red herring. Turkish are everywhere around aurburn, Italians are everywhere Chinese are everywhere.

I can't see a whole load of Japanese books suddenly appearing in a book fair, and it might be tricky for you to spot that there was among them a translation of an English book you had always wanted to read. So I'm guessing Spanish, as it is usually easy to guess the name of the original book from the Spanish title, if you can also see the author's name and you know what books he, she or they had written. Oh, and that 'You are alone' gag is genius.

Nah you are fine. It's not at all unreasonable to expect that I have thoroughly tried something that I recommend, and I must admit "thoroughly" is not how I'd describe my testing of StoryLearning, however, I have known Olly for a long time and I have read his "Short stories" series which basically turned into StoryLearning, and they are really very good.

It has to be a storylearning language. Through some rough elimination (Turkish French Italian) I’m circling around Japanese/Chinese rn hmm. There’s a Panda & “soup of the day” so I’m really leaning toward Chinese. Wonder if “convergence of events” is something as well. Can’t figure out the book cover at all. But otoh it’s not common for folks to go to China so that makes me lean toward Japan. But Chinese. I pick Chinese.

I've decided only to learn languages that I know someone who speaks them in real life. I used to learn whatever language I fancied, eg. Hebrew, but then it dawned on me that I don't actually know anyone who speaks Hebrew. What I do instead now is learn the languages of my colleagues, which at the moment is Bulgarian, Hindi and Romanian, and it works much much better.

@@daysandwords Awesome that you’re so laid back about it, I’d be so impatient to go and use it if I was you. I’ve got to say that once you can speak to a decent level the Swedes are great to talk to in Swedish in my experience. They really appreciate it when someone’s put in the time and effort to learn their language. Despite what everyone says they’d much rather speak Swedish than English. I still feel like slapping myself to wake up sometimes when I have an in-depth conversation with someone. Learning a language is an incredible and often surprising journey. The improvement just kind of creeps up on you. After 1 1/2 years of full time school learning Swedish I’ve only got a month left, then after all that I’m likely to end up getting an English speaking job.

I change my mind.. the flag change at 4:03 to the Mexican flag makes me think it's Spanish. Spanish isn't big in Australia, which fits the book fair narrative. But it's got tons of content which I think is what you want. Also, it seems likely you could go to Mexico or another Spanish speaking country for a competition. I don't think you would have mentioned Turkish that much. No signs of Finnish. And I have a feeling it's not Mandarin. Spanish I guess. Please release the next part and free me from the suspense!
