2. Enhanced cognitive function and memory
3. Reduced stress and anxiety
4. Increased creativity and problem-solving skills
5. Better adaptability and resilience
6. New social connections and opportunities
7. Improved focus and concentration
8. Boosted mood and overall sense of well-being
9. Increased sense of purpose and fulfillment

- Provide a healthy distraction from negative thoughts and emotions
- Offer a sense of accomplishment and pride
- Foster a growth mindset and love for learning
- Improve emotional regulation and intelligence
- Enhance overall mental stimulation and engagement

Ooh so many great benefits outlined here. How do you plan around going ahead with the language exchange?😮
Cool, I'm down for everything.
I am ok with learning any language
I can teach hindi and telugu.
If u guys are OK with that, that is.😅
@HiiamanonymousThat's wonderful 😊
Would love to learn from you 😁
Hii @Hiiamanonymous
I would like to learn from you! I know malayalam language in return if you want to learn it :)
@Hiiamanonymous I'm fine with it. Given the current situation & the most likely future, Hindi seems like the language to know now. India may well be the next global hegemon.
@slowdecline48
Hey, I'm srry...I can't teach u rn. I'm not rlly in the best mental state. Also exams are coming up and I need to study. I'm srry again.
@wishfulPiano5648 Ich sprechen deutsch - I know German. Also French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, English, some Spanish. I want to learn Russia though.
Yoo, ich spreche* but whatever.
I'd like you to teach me German, and I can be teaching ya russian
I know russian:)
On a native level, actually, cuz I'm ukrainian and I know both ukrainian and russian even though they're different.
We can be language partners! Just text me because I don't know how to do that.
:D
@ErrorClements7 I don't know how to message either
@genericbeing @ErrorClements7 You can't message anyone on here if you're not a Listener...site policy. Have run into this problem myself. We ordinary members can only communicate via the forums. It's for our safety, or so they say.
Sí, señor, it is... Best to talk to Glen, or to whoever is in charge of functionality here.
@slowdecline48 I'm fluent in half, I can read and write in them all, I pick up everything I try to learn really quickly not just languages, I tested for a really hi IQ went I as younger. It only took me 8 months to learn like 75% of German. Dutch was almost the same because its so close to German, I knew English, French I learn in school. Latins much like French. Spanish is the same as Italian, kinda. They all just fell into place fast for me.
@genericbeing I wish I could claim that... Been tested twice myself. I'm above average for sure but nowhere near genius level. You folks on the upper standard deviations have it all over the rest of us...I do wish I was smarter than I am. Who cares about looks when mental horsepower can do so much more?
@slowdecline48 Reading helps, I was reading war and peace when I was 15 casually, reading really boosted my brain power. I think everyone should read more.
hii, im from Argentina and i want to practise my english, do you wanna talk?
@chiaru Sí, why not? I'm not here every day but we can talk when I stop in. I speak English very well & know very little Spanish. I still don't understand Español grammar. If you could help with that I would be grateful, sir.
@wishfulPiano5648
I would love to learn Spanish
I can teach English and Two Indian Languages
hii, Im from Argentina and I woul like to practise my english
@chiaru
Ola chiaru! I want to learn Argentine Spanish. Hit me up if you're interested
@wishfulPiano5648
i can teach Telugu in exchange if any one teach spanish or Norwegian!
What language? I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese fluently and would love to learn more languages!
@wishfulPiano5648 hi 😸 i speak spanish but I'm here for help and if i can to learn more would be incredible 🌸
@wishfulPiano5648
I would absolutely love this...
I'm most interested in learning Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean and sign ^^
@wishfulPiano5648
Wait, I thought it was "Hola"? (Written, not pronounced)
Presumably the language you're familiar with is Español, no?
Also, am up for learning Spanish as I don't know it. Best choices would be Mexican or Salvadoran dialects, with Cuban dialect running a close 2nd choice. All I know is American English, but I'm very good at it. I can help you greatly expand your vocabulary. Also if you encounter slang you don't understand, hit me up. Even if I don't know the term(s), I talk to millennials & Gen-Z kids whenever I can, so I can find the answer for you.
Native Chinese (Mandarin) speaker
I'm learning Russian now and already know a little bit about Japanese and Russian. But I always want to learn anything new. I'm a huge fan of languages!
@Rescie You speak all that & English, too? 😯
...am wondering if it's something about the language. Mandarin, that is. It's like if you're fluent in Mandarin, you're smarter than the average. I bet Cantonese has the same effect.
😄Actually I can only say that I can speak Mandarin and English. As for Russian and Japanese I can only do with simple sentences, that's definitely far from being proficient.
I agree that Mandarin (or Cantonese) is difficult to learn, and born to speak Mandarin save a lot of time learning it. I won't say speaking it makes me any smarter though, every language is fascinating! Plus, Mandarin is not very similar to any other language, so it does not provide me with convenience in learning other languages, which is a bad news for me.😢
Ooh...I couldn't teach u hindi or telugu if ur up for it. I would love to learn mandarin from u😁
