Let me know if you are stuck in the Andes at 6,000 metres ↓↓

Been learning Polish for almost 2 years and cannot explain how rewarding it is when you speak Polish to a native. Beautiful language and so glad that I started learning it!

I'm convinced that Polish is the number 1 underrated language to learn as a western european. Even if you don't plan on going to Poland you constantly run into Polish people (especially in Germany, where I'm from) and the ones I've met are definetly some of the coolest, nicest and most interesting people.

Hell yeah build up the Polish hype. In my experience as a learner of Polish, native speakers are usually super kind and helpful. The language is beautiful and I’m glad I chose to learn it.

As some one who's been learning Turkish for about 2 years I really appreciate you mentioning it. Cause many people don't understand why its a valuable language to learn and even when I tell people I'm learning Turkish they say things like " why don't you learn Spanish or French instead" and its really annoying. Thanks for the video! It gave me an idea of which language to go for next.

as an Indonesian, the most difficult thing about the language is probably the fact that outside of professional contexts, most people just don't use the formal version of the language all that much. the version of the language that is used vary widely depending on where you are, because it's affected heavily by the local language of the area.

As a Polish native speaker thank You for mentioning my language:) You are right we learn languages really well and fast, maybe it is because Polish is hard and in comparison to other languages we feel like they are easy (so we are not discouraged), maybe we just know that our language is not popular so we just need to learn other languages to communicate so we see the point in learning.

Also take into consideration that the Turkish language family is a very widespread one in Central Asia, making it even more valuable to learn

Any foreign language will be useful for a monolingual like me

I started learning Polish when I was working as a high school teacher in the UK and we began to get a lot of kids who spoke Polish at home. I had a degree in Russian so the headteacher thought I was probably the best member of staff to learn Polish so set me the task. It was the beginning of a deep love for Poland. It took me a while but with determination and lots of time spent on the Real Polish website/podcasts I got to the point where I could talk to parents (and often aunties and uncles) whose English often wasn't as good as the children's. I've been to Poland several times now and I love the country and knowing enough of the language not to have to rely on English does help you to feel less of an outsider, which is nice. As I've got older I still enjoy learning languages but whereas I used to pick languages just because I found them fascinating I know only find the motivation to learn languages I have a personal reason to learn. I've been learning Romanian for about five years because I had some close friends who are Romanian and now have quite a large group of Romanian friends both here and in Romania. I'm also learning Icelandic because I want to keep going back there.

Having seen how hard Poles work in general, I can tell you with a very high degree of certainty why they're so successful at language learning. 😁

I was surprised that Georgian on the list, because I just started to learn Georgian one week ago 😳 Yeah... because of the beautiful scripts💕 And I've learned Turkish and Indonesian before, I'm so happy to hear that they're also included on the list ☺️ Georgian, Indonesian, Polish, Turkish and Danish, the colours of their flag are all red and white 😄 BTW, I think the most underrated language is Cantonese, because there are about 100 million speakers in the world, and you can watch Hongkong movies and dramas without subtitles 😎 EDIT : Hongkong's flag is also red and white 🤓

I like the unconventional languages. Learning Serbo-Croatian, Latin and Finnish rn. My most underrated language is Basque, as it's the only language that has survived the arrival of the Indo-Europeans. It has this cool ergativity-absolutivity stuff and it's so goddamn unique. I'm so glad that it survived the Franco-era

I've been learning Bengali (Bangla) for a little bit now and it's super underrated. There are big Bangladeshi and Bengali Indian communities outside of South Asia (as well as the hundreds of millions inside South Asia that speak it) and it sounds really nice. I'd love to learn Turkish and Farsi at some point too and they're both underrated, often overshadowed by Arabic

Agree, Turkey is really underrated. There are not only turkish speakers in Türkiye but also you can use this language in Azerbaijan (90% knows turkish), North Iran (South Azerbaijan region), North Iraq (turkmens). And also Kazakistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kirgizistan is the root of the turkish language (lots of similarities with Turkey turkish). So learning turkish take you from europe to central asia. It is worth to learn Turkish

Elysse´s channel is really good, she speaks Portuguese, and other languages, almost without an accent and her methods are quite useful. she´s amazing!!!

I have been learning Polish all this year, going all in, 2-3 hours a day. I still haven't talked to any native speakers, except those who are paid to speak to me on Italki. The other day I was walking through the market and I heard a family go past speaking Polish. I almost died from the shock, but was so surprised I didn't go and speak to them. They might have thought I was a bit weird! W przyszłym roku chcę pojechać do Poslki. Nie mogę się doczekać. Polski to trudny język, ale to tego warte. Pozdrawiam serdecznie!

Nice, I had Indonesian and Polish on my list for when I become reasonably competent in Japanese.

As a native Polish speaker, I appreciate you including it in your list. It's such a difficult language to learn and the pronunciation kills most foreigners... But it's such a joy to see people try (and succeed too!)

Always learn something new in your videos. Love it 🙌

This has been a delight to watch! Thank you for this. Cantonese is my personal favorite and fits in with your color theme 🇭🇰

You've hit two that I have seriously thought about learning, Polish and Turkish, but still working on my Russian.)

As an Irish learner, I would say absolutely Irish and Welsh. Irish might not have a lot of monolingual content (but it does exist I promise) and both are minority languages, but that's the fun of doing it! The sparkle in their eyes when they hear you speaking their native language is twofold. Also, the way Celtic languages phrase things and also just how the grammar works is fascinating. If by any chance studying a minority language has been at the back of your mind, here's your sign XD

Great video! I love to see the Georgian in your list. I’ve spent 4 months there almost year ago, and learned the alphabet and a few curse words. And felt unstoppable!

This was hilarious but still you made some solid points! 😄 This channel is so underrated.

From a native Polish speaker's perspective, the grammar of many other languages is relatively simple. Also studying a foreign language (or two) is higly encouraged and the competition on the job market is quite high (or at least it used to be), so your English/German/French has to be at least decent.

Learning to read in Cyrillic is probably an order of magnitude easier than learning most of the non-Western European uses of the Roman alphabet, IMnHO. If you've been exposed to the Greek alphabet through math and/or physics, you're literally (and not how idiots use the word) over it in few days.

KLAUDIA! Pozdrawiamy Ciebie, Pana prowadzącego i Wszystkich, którzy mówią po polsku albo mówić będą 😃🌻

Lamont! If you're interested in more underrated, less talked about languages with usually more unique features. Then one of my other favourite language youtubers (next to Langfocus and you of course) is Julingo! She's been my prime source for an in-dept look into the cultures, music, and mainly the language they belong to, and I've thoroughly enjoyed every video of hers!

I'm learning Polish. I grew up hearing it a lot and was told I could speak it when I was very young, before going to school. I find the sound of it so comforting.

I am so happy with how often Estonian makes an appearance on this channel. I am an Australian learning Estonian and this channel is my 'brain break' from studying it. Also, loved the Volvo v70 metaphor. I know exactly what you mean. Thanks for the content!! Big love, Claire

Half way through, and laughed multiple times so far... The comment on time travellers and the flag flip 😂

The graphic for the val-d'isère question made me actually Google it 😄 Beautiful! A place I now have to visit!

I was in Singapore 🇸🇬. Malaysian 🇲🇾 is what I heard. An Indonesian 🇮🇩 man told me that both languages are mutually intelligible. In the same itinerary, I traveled to The Philippines 🇵🇭. Tagalog has some Indonesian words. So does the language Ilokano. The thing is that if you place a few people from each of these nations, you cannot tell by looks who comes from where! 🤯🤯🤯 Anyway, I would like to learn Indonesian. I am delaying that because I am learning Tagalog now. (Learning Spanish 🇪🇸 helps only a tiny bit.)

I once visited Wrotław in Upper Silesia and, to my surprise , I found myself being forced to use my smattering of Polish to communicate as I couldn't find English speakers (at least when I first arrived) . It was quite the surprise, as after having visited countries like Denmark, Sweden, Germany and even France, I had come to expect the abrupt, immediate, dismissive, slightly patronising switch to English when I talked to people.

I can disclose my reasons for learning Turkish which I've been doing for a year and a half now. I am a native speaker of two Slavic languages common in Ukraine where I live, and I'm fluent enough in English to use it both daily and professionally. I made some attempts at other languages I was fond of, particularly German, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese, but remained at best a beginner. After some pause in language learning, I decided to try a language which would (a) have a distinctly different build from all I know (2) make a geographically practical sense to learn (3) have a familiar writing (so no Arabic or Japanese). Looking from my Ukrainian location, such were Hungarian and Turkish. I have chosen the latter, as it is spoken more widely and I went to Turkey several times. And I loved my choice! It is almost mathematically precise in its grammar, offers tons of content, opens huge possibilities for communication.

I think Thai also has a really beautiful and underrated script

Fun fact about polish: it's a one of two slavic languages that kept nasal sounds (the other is kashubian).

Hey Lamont, have you thought about doing an interview with a First Nations' language (Djambarrpuyngu, Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri etc.) speaker/teacher? You seem to have a really great platform to spread information about these languages which haven't really been supported by the government/education system, and don't have very many primary speakers currently.

Good on you for being sufficiently irreverent to disrupt the endlessly cited list of top 10 languages to learn/being learned!! I'm currently in my third year of learning Thai & have recently begun Bengali (the latter to talk to in-laws newly added to my family). I 'get' all the languages on your list and they seem to make sense, but I'm particular keen on your #1 choice though I likewise share an appreciation for Polish. Personally I would add a Dravidian language to any list, perhaps Tamil but likely Malayalam, Greek and finally, I can't resist adding a language like Mongolian!

As a person who went to Georgia as a volunteer several times and lived there for 6 months, I was amusedly pleased to see Georgian on your list. Yeah, I picked up a bit of it. It's..... not easy for Indo-European speakers, pronunciation wise or vocabulary wise... but the people and the country are beautiful. However I have to admit, I have lost most of it in the non-Georgia world. I'm going for Spanish now and it's pushing the Georgian out of my brain. But by all means I do encourage you to visit Georgia. Most of them speak Russian or English competently, and the food is fantastic. Among many other things.

Interesting analysis. I want to add some info that most people learning turkish are from Syria,Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan and generally the region of Middle East and Central Asia and there's large amounts of turkish learner content on youtube and Instagram. The English-speaking polyglot sphere just doesn't know about it. Also there's lots of books and helping material in Arabic, Farsi and Urdu for learning Turkish.

Well, Danish at No.1 was a pleasant surprise. I've just started learning over the last month or so. Caught your channel a few weeks ago, and it's been very informative and motivational regarding how to learn etc. Good stuff. I'm a Brit by the way, and as Denmark is only 90 minutes away via EasyJet, why not 🤣

Tell a Polish person you are learning Polish, and the first thing they will say is 'Why?' It gets a bit disconcerting, especially as the only answer I can give is 'Why not?' One interesting fact about Peru is that it has mountains and Polish teachers. Oh wait, that is two facts.

As a Georgian learner, you can’t imagine how shocked and excited I was when I saw it appearing in the video hahaha! I really enjoy the whole content and got curious about learning Turkish too! Keep it up 🤗

Wow, thank you for mentioning Polish! Been learning it for over 2 years, best decision ever.

Wow. Two of the most, in my opinion, interesting languages are in your list! Polish and Georgian. I learn Polish for 8 months. I started learning Georgian recently because I've moved to Georgia. Dziękuję! მადლობა!

Bahasa Indonesia 🇮🇩 ❤️ I started learning this one in 2020. It is my 9th language, but the first one I am learning as an adult. I also started learning Irish in 2021. I am enjoying both of them.

I literally choked on my tea when you said Turkish. I recently boxed up all my Chinese books and started learning Turkish. It is a fascinating language and there are some fun shows to watch on Netflix in Turkish. Other languages dropping off my radar: Spoken Italian (I need it only for reading comprehension of Tarot books), French (I can watch Lupin without English dubbing, and that’s good enough for me), and German (dyslexia makes this language impossible for me to read or write). That said, Norwegian has been delightful. Like you, I see the value in Danish, Finnish, and Georgian. But Georgian is just for the joy of visiting a country that is almost my first name. Style points there. I know that Russian has lost its popularity as a foreign language, but I love it. And if you love a language, then that’s one to keep.

Would you make to follow up video to "Why I'm studying 7 languages in 2022 (and you should too)"? How is it going and what have you (re)discovered so far?

Cantonese has a lot of fun movies, especially if you like over the top set-pieces (although you don’t really need to know the language to enjoy those I guess). Though for most learners it probably would make more sense after Mandarin because most written stuff is in Standard Written Chinese. But more people who learned Mandarin should learn Cantonese too.

This was great! I wasn't sure I'd do another language after the one I'm learning now, but Georgian is so pretty! I am now forcing myself not to drop everything and start learning Georgian. I'd love to hear you talk more about why you don't think the number of speakers is a good metric for which language you should learn. As someone that's just learning for fun, with no people around me that speak other languages and no concrete plans to live in another country, number of speakers has been high on my list of reasons.

Interesting and cool to see Danish be a part of your list. Definitely not easy to learn, but always fun to see someone taking the time to study our language when we are such a small country in the grand scheme of things. I myself am learning Spanish, and it is definitely not an easy thing to learn a new language, but I am having a lot of fun with the challenge.

My friend, I am a native spanish speaker! I have just stumbled across your channel and I have to say, I have wanted to learn Danish for a very long time! I have done Pimleur Danish to some success, I going to hold you accountable about the Killing, I am going to watch the whole 3 seasons, I hope I am a fluent Danish speaker at the end of it! xDDDDD

Fun one to watch! I wanted you to keep going with the next five…

I like that you chose languages that perhaps aren't usually considered for lists like this. Although, I have to throw Welsh into the equation. Why? It was used as an inspiration for Tolkien when he developed elvish. It's a language that has been on the brink of extinction, but is now going through a revival and is growing again. It was used to fill in the blanks for Cornish and bring it back from extinction. And last, but not least, dragons.

As I Peruvian can confirm I was not offended, quite liked the analogy in fact😅

Lamont's reasons for learning Turkish: 1. No one else is doing it 2. Flag's got the right colors

The other benefit of learning Turkish is it opens up a lot of other languages to you. Turkic languages are remarkably similar. (I am currently learning Turkish and find it amusing that I can understand large bits of Türkmen, Kazakh, and other languages at a very simple level. A bit like how "I have a dog." is "ich habe einen Hund." In German. My native Turkish friends have even less trouble with other Turkic languages which appear at least as far as I can tell to be even more similar than most European languages are to each other. When you see it through this lens it opens up even more options. The problem though is that even though you are right there are 80 million speakers they are all located in Turkey unlike a language like Spanish or French where knowing the language opens up a lot more countries to visit without problems. But considering my native language is English that is much less of an important thing. The biggest problem with Turkish is that it is hard with a capital H and that it is practically never fun to learn like other languages. (I find it fun to speak in it but the actual learning process is perhaps the most torturous of any language I've tried to learn). Even greek I could just sit and watch television shows and slowly things would make sense. This isn't true with Turkish. Every single second of language learning is work. To try to learn it from passive absorption by keeping the radio or television on or something wont improve your ability by even 1% and I say this as someone who is currently intermediate in the language. (At least I believe this if your native language is English). This is because of the tremendous number and combinations of suffixes, and the fact that most of the suffixes use the same letters. For example a sentence in English like "You want a car" vs "if you want a car" has a whole extra word But in Turkish the difference is "Araba istiyorsun" vs "Araba istiyorsen". This seems easy in a sentence like this but Turkish people tend to speak very very quickly and in much longer and more complicated sentences. So mishearing a single letter can drastically reduce your understanding. The best part though is that it is pronounced how it is written so you can learn the language almost entirely from reading and writing. Because reading out loud if you know the pronunciation of words will get you pretty damn close most of the time. (This of course can be dangerous though if you don't hear a lot of Turkish before starting this process because many of the sounds are uncommon in English).

Literally all the languages I've been thinking about!! except danish lol Also love learning Turkish when you revealed it I went crazy haha also can't wait to film a Turkish wedding :)

"don't want to discriminate against time travellers" UNDERRATED I LOVE THIS

For me I feel that Portuguese, Arabic, Indonesian and Hindi are the most underrated languages in terms of size of the speakers to number of learners. Especially given that India will soon (if not already) overtake china for largest population size

polish is such a fun language to learn, i'vve nearly been learning for a year and it's so nice! its not as difficult as people think

Interesting list! Personally I think one of the most useful and important languages to learn is your own country's sign language. In my case it's Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS in Portuguese) and I took it for a semester in college then proceeded to forget everything. I really want to learn it to a conversational level. One language that kind of fascinates me is Filipino, because it has a lot of Spanish influence, so there are many words that I understand, and the pronunciation seems fairly easy. The catch is that, as far as I know, all Filipino people speak English too, and they usually mix the two languages in daily conversation, so you can easily just speak English to any Filipino BUT there's something fascinating about how they seamlessly mix the two languages. I've seen series where one person would speak mostly one language while the other would speak mostly the other and they'd just carry it like that, no problem. For me it sounds confusing, but it's interesting to think that if I get to understand it enough I could speak English to a native and they would reply in both languages and I wouldn't need to say a word in Filipino. Plus, sometimes I will start to read something online in English and midway the content switches to Filipino. It's annoying because I can't understand all of it, so it'd be cool to be able to.

I clicked on your video and didn't even know that you will include my language (Polish). It is not often that I hear people talking about Polish language. Good luck to all the people learning Polish!!! ❤️

Finally a new video!

you're so funny and your videos are super interesting !

I really liked this video, and I agree completely with the message and even with the choices. Rather than forcing yourself to learn the same few languages that everyone is going for (like Chinese, German or Spanish) with half-hearted motivation based on vague aspirations for the language being helpful or at all useful in the future, picking up a passion project language is a wonderful thing to do. It's not that different from learning to play an instrument as a hobby. However, I also feel compelled to play devil's advocate for some of the comparisons you made. I'm sure you're well aware of these points but I'll list them anyways for the sake of conversation. I find a few problems in comparing the number of speakers of Georgian with those of Norwegian or Finnish, as well as doing the same for Italian and Turkish. I agree with the premise: Turkish is just as important, if not more so, as Italian; Norwegian and Finnish are just as "minor" languages as Georgian is, and arguably more redundant due to the formers' speakers' level of English. But the comparison falls flat when you consider these points: - Amount of effort Georgian is notoriously difficult for foreign learners, while Norwegian and Italian are among the least demanding languages for speakers of Western European languages to pick up (which is at least around half of the world, note that I didn't specify natives). - Cultural proximity From the point of view of a European, Anglophone or Latin American, it reinforces the above point - Availability of resources There's very little for Georgian, even when compared to Finnish, while Italian is one of the most accessible languages in the world when it comes to resources and content. - Lifestyle and development of the countries that speak them Italy, Finland and Norway are considerably richer than Georgia and Turkey, and learning a language to try to migrate to a country that speaks it is a non-negligible source of motivation. - Transferability Learning Italian is more than half the battle towards learning any other Romance language, learning Norwegian allows you to access the whole of Scandinavia and is also (though slightly) helpful with West Germanic languages and insular Nordic ones. To be fair, Turkish is also helpful for expanding towards Kazakh and other central Asian tongues, but Georgian is a bit more limited in this regard. On the other hand, I'd also have to bring up that learning Turkish or specifically Georgian would greatly expand someone's definition of what a language can be, and also open up an opportunity to learn about foreign cultures (again, from a western perspective) so take the first two points with a few caveats. I also think it is necessary to mention the large state of diglossia that exists for Indonesian, precisely because of the fact that it is most speakers' second language. In any case, I appreciate the the shout out for these underrated languages. Turkish and Indonesian, in particular, are some that I've been lightly dabbling on and it's a whole new world compared to the languages I've learned so far. It is my goal to tackle them seriously after I've progressed enough with my current target.

I chuckled when I saw Danish as your number 1 as I have been learning it myself for a little while now. I've always thought it sounded cool, plus I had an uncle with some very interesting Danish roots. Danish is the second language I have dabbled in where I have learnt that I have a family connection with the country where it is spoken *after* I started learning it!

I definitely would love to learn Indonesian just because the grammar is so much easier than what I’m used to and also a luxury vacay in Bali is more affordable than nearly anywhere else. Also just want to add what is in my opinion a highly underrated language both in practicality and in beauty - and that would be asl or any form or sign language!

Nice video. I really thought you were going to add Swahili onto the list, but I guess there are quite a many people who are learning it anyway, and actually I too want to learn it so I may be biased. Polish is indeed an attractive language, at least from my perspective. If I choose to learn a second Slavic language one day it will definitely be Polish. And as a Turkish native speaker it was delightful to hear that you added Turkish onto your list. Turkish is not only used in Turkey either! IMO, Turkish is a wise investment if you are interested in Central Asia as well. Cheers!

Been learning Turkish for about a year now, 100% agree it's hugely slept on

Gah I wish there were as many resources for Norwegian as there are for Swedish and Danish. Great video my friend!

I totally get your experience about speaking to Swedish people. I got asked often in Germany if my family was half German.

I think the most underrated language to learn, is the one that you're interested in. SO many people look for *the one* language but really, if you're interested in the culture and language, it will be loads easier. Not sure if I worded this the best, but I think I got the point across

Pretty funny video and entertaining! :)

I'm learning Indonesian and was pleasantly surprised to see it here. It's also the easiest language I've tried to learn so far especially early on.

I’m currently studying Indonesian, Brazilian Portuguese, & Haitian Creole as a non-monolingual American who speaks English natively & Spanish (75% fluent since 1/2 my family is South American). I still try to study/improve my Spanish too. •Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia) Being a geography nerd, I’ve always found it to have an interesting history & culture. And I’ve read/saw multiple things saying it’s “one of the easiest languages to learn” so I’m taking the challenge. I wish all languages were as direct & somewhat easy as this language. Also, their food is delicious & I’ll automatically be 98% fluent in the Malay language since it’s basically their standardized version of Malay & spoken I can speak with people in Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Timor-Leste, & surrounding areas like southern Thailand, the southern Philippines, Keeling-Cocos island, Christmas Island, etc. •Brazilian Portuguese is the most beautiful language in the entire world (obviously IMO). All of their accents are perfect to me & I love hearing it & learning it. It helps to know Spanish a lot, but the pronunciation is very different. I’ve always been in love with the history & culture too, so it was only natural to learn it. It’s also the 4th most spoken language where I live. •Haitian Creole (Kreyòl Ayisyen) I figured I’d learn it since it’s the 3rd most spoken language in my metro area after English & Spanish. So far, I like how it’s like simplified French mixed with Spanish, English, & West African languages & the happiness I see from Haitians & Haitian Americans when I speak the very little I know to them.

I have quit learning languages, too old... But I did learn how to read Cyrillic script last year. That's nice. I can read stuff on signs in a big number of different countries.

Exactly, there is no "most useful language", it really depends on your life situation 👍But yeah, Georgian looks really cool 👀

What do you do when part of you wants to stick with the language you're learning, but another part of you wants to go off and dive into a brand new language like Polish and German? If I go for the new language, I'm taking time off and therefore I'm less consistent. But life is short 😩

There is a Russian youtuber who's tuber name is NFKRZ. He got out of Russia and is living in Georgia for now. He also knows English pretty well

My goodness THAT Eurovision song again?? 🤣 Interesujący wybór języków. Pozdrowienia od sławnego Grzegorza Brzęczyszczykiewicza. 😉 Każdy język jest piękny na swój sposób i nigdy nie wiadomo, który może się przydać w życiu. Every language is beautiful in its own way and no one knows when certain language might become useful. Thank you for appreciation of Polish.

If you enjoy learning new scripts, I would recommend not only Georgian but also Armenian. Also, non-Semitic Jewish languages like Yiddish and Ladino can help you get the grasp with the Hebrew alphabet without the challenge of learning Hebrew itself (although you'll get some exposition to its vocabulary as well).

Very interesting list of languages. I had a quick glimpse in Indonesian language just to understand how a language can work without various cases, conjugations, articles... it really can! And Turkish - I started Intermediate course. It's a language-puzzle for me. Still can't understand some principles how words are connected to each other, but moving on. And thanks for awesome advice - learn exactly the language you want, not the one that would help to learn the other. Yes, one Slavic language makes it easy to learn others, or English can be a great help to learn German or Spanish... but it works only if you like the language you learn and really want to learn both languages. Otherwise, it's a waste of time

Well there are quite a lot turkish speakers in germany so I HAVE once or twice thought about lerning it. But as you metioned, it depends a lot on your personal environment what the "most useful" language is for you personally. I live very close to france and I have almost daily contanct with french people... so for me ... french it is :D It would be nice to know at least some turkish though, maybe I dabble a bit in it later sometime:D

Most useful underrated language I'll have to go with the often forgotten romance language, Romanian! If you want to visit Eastern Europe, Romanian should be easier to learn than Polish (probably) and if you already know a romance language, it should be easy (probably) and if you've ever wanted to visit Transylvania or see Dracula's Castle, well you probably want to learn Romanian.

As a Ukranian I know Russian and Ukrainian from birth, also I know English cuz we study it in school(poorly), but after that i started to study by myself, so now i am B1-B2 i think, after 10th grade i lived in Poland for one year and learned Polish, but i didn't practiced it for 3 years so i think my level is A2, but i agree that this language is very beautiful and rewarding. And finally, now i am learning japanese and i think this is really challenging for me, cuz i want to became able to understand basic japanese until New Year, so wish me good luck. Thank your for the video i'm glad that one of my languages is in the list

Very funny video! Also, Georgian grammar is from another planet, life is to short to study that language haha. But I do agree about Turkish and Indonesian :)

I personally just started learning Romanian at uni and I find it extremely interesting because on the one hand, it's a romance language with a lot of features that are similar to other romance languages, but on the other hand, it also has a lot of influences from Slavic languages due to its geographical location. As far as I know, there are also influences from Turkish, Greek, and Hungarian but I could be wrong

I'm learning Latin! It may not be the most "useful" language out there, but it's the one that I have enough interest in to actually do a little bit of studying every day. Hypothetically, I guess it could make learning a modern romance language easier at some point down the line, but I'm not too bothered about that at this point in time.

No jokes, when you asked how many people speak Turkish, I thought to myself “I dunno, maybe 80 million.” Right before you said it lol

Could you please give us some recommendations for danish resources?

where can i find reading material and books to practice those languages?

I clicked on this video because I watch everything you post. Your humor is top tier

Really digging the more relaxed informal style btw - burst up laughing pretty hard at the "pretending to be swedish" bit at the end

with Turkish you can also interact with most Azerbaijani and Qashqai people, and far far more easily pick up other Turkic languages from Kazakh to Uygur to Yakut and potentially open the door to 200 million speakers of Turkic languages

Long time, no see! I only clicked to learn what fun content you've uploaded! Wasn't disappointed at all! 🙂 Of course you are Swedish now. (Though that's not a merit in the other Nordic countries - try to tell that you are a Finlander instead. Haha!)

It looks like you‘ re forging the one ring in photoshop 😄 Georgian is cool. Thought about it, because of the ex-pate hype, but than I got scared… . Indonesian would be cool (and seems to be manageable), but it is so far away. Since I tried Chinese, I‘m a little sceptical about languages I‘ ll probably only visit one time in my remaining lifetime… Polish sounds adorable, but I‘m already married and Polish women are too gorgeous… Turkish would be interesting (and nice in Germany) but never made me curious. But I rented a book about Persian, because Steve Kaufman got me curious. In the end, I‘ ll keep learning good old boring Spanish an French, untill I have a similar level, like in my pseudo English. I liked your new video! Good to have you back.

I am learning Serbian. It's really cool because it is phonetic, and it uses both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets... But because it is phonetic, each letter has only one sound, and each letter in either alphabet matches one in the other. There are heaps of learning resources, books, podcasts, youtube, apps and peeps on italki. I highly recommend learning it :)
