But here's the truth: I'm rusty in almost all of them. So I gave myself a challenge: speak 7 languages in 7 days. One language per day. Real conversations. Real people. No safety net. This video documents what happened when I forced myself to use languages I've been avoiding, from Preply tutoring sessions in French, catching up with friends in italian, to catching up with family in Portuguese, to speaking Spanish with strangers in Antwerp cabs. Spoiler: It was harder than I expected. But it reminded me why I fell in love with languages in the first place. 💡 WHAT I LEARNED: You don't "lose" a language, you just get rusty Mistakes are how you reconnect Real conversations beat apps every time If you're learning a language (or trying to remember one you used to speak), this is your sign. You're not starting over. You're just dusting off. 🌍 MY LANGUAGE JOURNEY: I'm Jo Franco, a polyglot, filmmaker, and creator of Translated, a travel show about untranslatable words and what they teach us about being human. I've been learning languages for over a decade, and I'm still figuring it out. This channel is about language learning, living internationally, cultural exploration, and making stuff that matters (even when you're scared to publish it). 📚 RESOURCES I USED: Preply (online language tutoring) - I use it for French, Italian, and Dutch practice. https://preply.sjv.io/XmzbVG 📌 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - 0:59 Intro 1:00 - 1:52 Day 1: French 1:53 - 2:45 Finding my tutor 2:46 - 4:19 First Class Struggles 4:20 - 5:02 The French Challenge 5:03 - 6:19 Day 2: Pure confusion 6:20 - 7:11 Spanish wormhole 7:12 - 7:49 CRASH OUT 7:50 - 9:41 Dutch plateau and struggles 9:42 - 10:25 French groceries 10:26 - 11:36 Day 3 Language morning routine 11:37 - 12:52 Day 4: Trip to Brussels 12:53 - 13:33 Day 5: Portuguese 13:34 - 13:59 Day 6: random Spanish 14:00 - 14:47 Day 7 Italian pasta 14:48 - 16:13 What I learned 💬 LET'S CONNECT: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jo_franco TikTok: @jofranco https://www.tiktok.com/@jo_franco Join my free weekly newsletter: https://jofranco.world/newsletter If this video resonated with you, drop a comment telling me which language you're learning (or trying to remember).
