Update on my language learning (1 thing a day) (Patreon)

You need to watch my new YouTube video to understand what I'm talking about here. Due to my eye issue, I'm looking for a language in the American alphabet that I can start completely fresh with.

I'm trying Polish today, but I can't confirm 100% that I'll be able to stick with it, because I have to see how it affects me over time. However, I wanted to share the one thing I'm learning on my first day.

I chose to go with "Dzisiaj", which means "today". TRUST ME! On day 1, I am very tempted to dive head first into this language and try to memorize 10 words. I am resisting this urge, and I am completely focusing on Dzisiaj on my first day. I am still going to passively come in contact with plenty of other words and grammar structures, but when I wake up tomorrow I will be SOOO comfortable with this one word. After a week I'll be able to pull 7 incredibly important words or phrases out of nowhere. 

I just wanted to post this to give a concrete example. I am twerking and doing backflips, because learning a new language is way too much fun.

Yo i'd love to hear your opinion on; "reading in languages that you cant pronounce". I see the value in reading when you dont understand everything, it familiarises you with patterns and words so when you do actually learn them, they stick. But in a language like French where as a beginner I don't know how to pronouce words, is there at all a benefit? Like if I'm pronoucing the words so horribly wrong that a native genuinely wouldnt understand, isn't that harmful to my learning? I see my own students get so locked into pronoucing words wrong that they never change, I have to believe that would be the same with reading words wrong but so many people/youtubeers have suggested it so it makes me question it...

I second Afrikaans, I'm learning both Dutch and Afrikaanse right now, very similar but just different enough to piss you off now and gain. Veel succes.
