I want to be a multilingual - One step at a time!
I don't know how long I'll live on earth but I'm positive that I'll live a long and healthy life so I'm also positive I'll be able to learn a new language before my old age and my kids will grow up having knowledge about other languages aside their mother tongue.
Even while writing this, it's kinda doubtful that I'll be able to learn a new language with the way I'm going now but thanks to this question, I'm reminded that I have some "Language goals - Learn a new language" and I'll try to focus on that from now.
Did I say I want to be a multilingual? Yeah!
That is because there are more than just one language I'll love to learn and be fluent in speaking them. Don't worry, I'll choose just one and say my reasons but allow me show some love to the other languages I won't mind having one teacher each to learn them 😅
Urhobo, my family language... Yes, I don't know how to speak my own language fluently but of course, you won't succeed in cheating me in anyway because of that. I know the bad words very well when you say them in my language, you can say I hear my language but too scared to speak them because the last time I did, I was mocked at... My own mother tongue sounds like sweet English in my mouth 🥲
Igbo and yoruba, my crush native languages... They are the only two other languages in my country that I'm in love with. The pride and confidence these tribes people use in speaking the languages is what gets me all the time. Learning the language will also mean it will be easier to transact in so many places in my country because they are dominant here.
Spanish, my crush Hive language... The first weeks I joined Hive, I couldn't help but notice people submitting their works in the Spanish translation and I first thought it was actually a rule until I found some Spanish focused communities where they actually read in Spanish rather than normal English. I could use Google translation but if I could find a way to learn it genuinely, I'd love that very much. I believe it will strengthen my jibe journey, there are a lot of Spanish speaking Hivers 😊
And the number one language I wish to learn first... Korean
If you've been following up my posts, you'll agree with me immediately that yeah, this girl really wants to learn Korean language 🙂 I think I'm a bit obsessed about their language and culture. Don't worry, it isn't a bad obsession... I just love them and would love to learn their language.
I have a long list of their songs, I could sing a lot of them fluently but honestly, I don't know the meaning to all of them yet... Still learning.
One of my wish is to visit Korea someday, learning the language awaiting that time will be a great success for me because I won't have much difficulty in blending in with their citizens.
Learning the language will also aid my easy understanding of their movies without subtitles... I'm a kdrama freak, and I can't do that without their subtitles so if I were to know what they are reality saying, I won't need subtitles anymore. Although I know a lot of words in Korean already but I know it's just a beginning for me.
Learning Korean can also help me in a lot of ways that I'm yet to figure out but I do know I'll gladly learn this language before any other if I'm given the opportunity to... It's my favourite language. After that, I'll go for the next language to learn.
And I'll be multilingual soon, wish me luck!
Wow, this is beautiful. I love the urhobo language so much, I learnt it in my primary school days and I understand and speak too.
Igbo language is my main language, I love, speak and understand.
Yoruba I understand and finally Korea language is another one I would also love to learn too. Thanks for sharing
Haha so you know how to speak my home language and I don't know how to 🥲
This life nor really balance 😂
Let's learn the Korean and Chinese together then... But I think I'll be faster with Korean 🤣
No oh too much love in Korea but Chinese is strictly business money things 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha abi o
You're right about that 😅
Hehe... Korean is one language that just goes easy on the ear, I guess that's one of the reasons their movies are such a big hit in Nigeria. You have done well for yourself.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Oh you said that right! The language sure goes easy on the ear 😁
Thanks for reading!
Uhhhmm! Urhobo should be a Delta language right?
Hehehehe! I can relate with the mockery part so well..it's so hurting 😂😂
But I'm glad you still want to learn how to speak your mother tongue.. it's cool
I think learning Igbo language will even be easier for you if Urhobo is a Delta Language.. Don't you think so?
Hmmm! Learning Korean language will also be good for the sake of the movies and if you happen to be there in the future..
I wish you all the best my multilingual pelsinn 🤗😅
Yeah, Urhobo is a delta language
Thank goodness you know what I feel when I try to speak my tribe's language 🥲
Igbo seem easy sha but I wonder why I haven't been able to learn a full sentence even after living with an igbo lady for some months.
Korean language isn't easy but I'd love to feel the fun of learning it 😁
Ok..
Hehehehe 😅
Yea, it should be easier.. when you put your mind to it, you'll learn fast.

Aniways your plan to learn all these languages seems difficult but not something that's not achievable, with hard work, consistency and a good mentor you can get there..
I wish you luck dear..
Haha you're a Deltan? Sweet 🥰
Yeah, thanks for wishing me luck... Small small, I'll get there 😁
Smiles....
Amen dearie 😊😊
I'm a lover of many languages, aside from my mother tongue I can speak the Yoruba Language fluently and the next Nigerian Language on my list to learn is Hausa and Igbo language.
I started learning the Spanish language about two months ago using Duolingo mobile app, the app makes the learning experience so simple and amazing you can check it out for your Korean and other foreign language learning.
My only wish is that if they can add Nigerian languages to the app.
I'm checking this out for sure, thanks for the recommendation.
Nigerian languages app? There isn't any available now? I haven't checked for any though.
You are always welcome 🥰❤
I'm still looking for a nice app where I can learn Nigerian Language but with no luck yet. Just in case you come across one, please kindly tag me along.
No problem, I will if I find one

I'd love to learn a few more languages too, but I worry (or maybe fear?) that everything will get mixed up in my head, and I'll completely forget what I've spent so much time and effort studying. But I still want to try. I'm currently using Promova to improve my English, but you can also learn other languages like French, Spanish, and German on the platform, all of which interest me.
