Can you make a video about conlangs? There is a very interesting conlang named interlingua Comment from : @angelferrandis6089

I really don't want to be a polyglot but I like languages Is it possible to learn languages without becoming a polyglot? Comment from : @personifiedmarvel

AI got me back into language learning It's not perfect but if you are careful and cross check the information you get, the benefits massively outweigh any drawbacks It really shines when I think I know what's going on but I don't feel sure Comment from : @nendashi5444

ChatGPT and the likes are FANTASTIC tools to proofread translations and explain grammar or vocabulary I agree that using apps to straight up communicate in your stead is missing the point of learning a language, but at the same time that is also missing the point of those apps At the end of the day most people (including educated people) are too lazy or busy to learn an entire language from scratch but they also want to be able to order a croissant while in Paris or something I don't think the actual language learning community will be much impacted by this, even in the long-term Comment from : @GeneralKenobi69420

I feel like AI has a long way to go before it makes language learning irrelevant Maybe 15 - 20 years from now, but not yet Comment from : @adonasbuhr2784

AI translations are often not completely accurate Comment from : @Someperson217

Totally agree I speak three foreign languages and still have appetite for more Comment from : @hubertwz

Proof : Steve Kaufman he is 80 yr old and has a healthy brain ! Comment from : @LanguageswithErman

I fully agree, short but very clear content in this video, very strong message I think people misunderstood how and when we should use AI, ChatGPT, Perplexity and so on those are only a bit more advanced search engines They seem to be so smart but when you look closely, they are not We should not rely on them too much, this truth is not seen by many of us Other thing - if you drive a car or sit in a wheelchair for a very long time, you can not walk or run anymore, or at least not so good as before The same with thinking and reasoning - if you let an app or the bot make decisions and create the answers for you, and you do not have to do it by yourself for long enough - you will get rid of this skill, this is only a matter of time This is a great danger, when this will happen to millions of us Keep training your body and keep training your mind Comment from : @AdrianStefanik1

I'm gonna stop learning, i realized it's useless Comment from : @gesm392

Thanks ❤ Comment from : @MsTranthihai71

Swaha! Thank you for this great little summary why everyone needs to learn more than just one language 🙏 Comment from : @svenjamarshall

I thought I would have an advantage in the job market for being bilingual; turns out, people don't even acknowledge it I figured it is considered a proper qualification when combined with other skills Yes, I'm very naive :) Comment from : @mateushmm

Loved this perspective! It’s so true that language is more than words Thanks for inspiring me to learn more languages this 2025! 🙌 Comment from : @Danilyn_Livao

Totally agree! Great video! Comment from : @ricardofilgueira

Dobrze Pan to ujął Comment from : @hanahanna2027

I agree, nothing can beat genuine human connections through foreign language learning! Glad to know I'm not the only one thinking like that haha Comment from : @cameronvallejo4157

So grateful to you, Professor, for these valuable insights Heading for polyglot status! Comment from : @cleonemusician217

You said it, Tim! 🙏🏻 Comment from : @LinguaThor

The best reason for learning languages is that the journey is interesting and enjoyable by itself That suffices for me Comment from : @TheHakon98

Have you read "The Last Lingua Franca: English Until the Return of Babel" by any chance? I've been planning to read it for a while, and it'd be really interesting to hear your thoughts on the topic Comment from : @derpauleglot9772

Thank you; I completely agree that a language is a cultural window, rather than "just" a language The difference in humour is a very vivid example for that Comment from : @MichaTurin

I speak Somali Arabic Spanish and Russian Comment from : @GhyuRtyu

I share your passion for learning languages The cognitive benefits far exceed neuroprotection Bilingualism and multi lingualism has potential to increase IQ Greatly improve all forms of memory, and attention/ concentration & increases cognitive reserves Comment from : @psynergy007

This is why I'm starting to become a polyglot at 31 years old and will keep at it until I become fluent in at least 4-6 languages Comment from : @TitoNaMacho

Don't learn a "foreign" languagebrThat's so disrespectful towards other culturesbr"Foreign" by definition is something strange and unfamiliarbrAcquire a SECOND language Comment from : @Alec72HD

"It can delay dementia by five years" - but i spent all that time learning the language Comment from : @muskyoxes

Personally speaking, translation, AI or otherwise, isn't really even that convenient It's slow, imprecise, and tedious to use for more than very short interactions or passages of text Having natural conversations or even something as simple as playing a video game in another language can't easily be done with translation apps in any convenient way brbrIt's totally worth learning a language to not be dependent on technology to dictate what you can and cannot experience Comment from : @coolbrotherf127

Nice video! Greetings from Brazil! Comment from : @arthurrodrigues5382

Good points Teacher Comment from : @Trumppower

Such a good video! Thanks for it 😁 Comment from : @czaronero

I wouldn't worry about ai and other technology nobody knows what its limits will be but google translate has been out since 2006 and its still bad and you had similar things before google translate right now technology has only made knowing more languages more useful Comment from : @belstar1128

i complete agree learning Foreign language is more important the ever Comment from : @prescottosegie

I don't stop learning languages I want to keep my brain alive Comment from : @renatofigueiredo603

Just like you said, NOT JUST FOR THE WORDS ciao Tim! Comment from : @emanuelegregori3945

Love a good inspirational speech from a inspired teacher I Don't have the means to live abroad atm but I can study my second language everyday Comment from : @caleb7475
