U biti, toliko to volim da

currently working on my eighth one.

2096
trenutno učim svoj osmi jezik.
00:22
When people find that out about me,
they always ask me,
they always ask me,
3
10880
2616
Kada ljudi to otkriju o meni,
uvijek pitaju,
uvijek pitaju,
00:25
"How do you do that? What's your secret?"
4
13520
2096
„Kako to radiš? Koja je tvoja tajna?"
00:27
And to be honest, for many years,
my answer would be,
my answer would be,
5
15640
3016
Da budem iskrena, tokom mnogo godina
moj odgovor bi bio,
moj odgovor bi bio,
00:30
"I don't know. I simply
love learning languages."

6
18680
2320
„Ne znam. Ja jednostavno
volim učiti jezike."
volim učiti jezike."
00:33
But people were never
happy with that answer.
happy with that answer.
7
21720
2256
No ljudi nikada ne bi bili
sretni tim odgovorom.
sretni tim odgovorom.
00:36
They wanted to know why they are spending
years trying to learn even one language,
years trying to learn even one language,
8
24000
3976
Željeli bi znati zašto provode godine
pokušavajući naučiti bar jedan jezik,
pokušavajući naučiti bar jedan jezik,
00:40
never achieving fluency,
9
28000
1536
ne postižući tečnost,
00:41
and here I come, learning
one language after another.
one language after another.
10
29560
3056
a ja tu učim
jedan jezik iza drugog.
jedan jezik iza drugog.
00:44
They wanted to know
the secret of polyglots,

11
32640
2216
Željeli su doznati
tajnu poliglota,

00:46
people who speak a lot of languages.
12
34880
1720
ljudi koji govore mnogo jezika,
00:49
And that made me wonder, too,
13
37400
1416
I zato sam se i ja zapitala
00:50
how do actually other polyglots do it?
14
38840
2296
kako to drugi poligloti u stvari rade?
00:53
What do we have in common?
15
41160
1496
Što nam je zajedničko?
00:54
And what is it that enables us
16
42680
1936
I što nam to omogućava
00:56
to learn languages
so much faster than other people?
so much faster than other people?
17
44640
2440
da učimo nove jezike
brže nego ostali ljudi?

00:59
I decided to meet other people
like me and find that out.

18
47880
2840
Odlučila sam upoznati druge ljude
poput mene i doznati to.
poput mene i doznati to.
01:03
The best place to meet a lot of polyglots
19
51760
2056
Najbolje mjesto za upoznati puno poliglota
01:05
is an event where hundreds
of language lovers

20
53840
2296
je događaj gdje se stotine
ljubitelja jezika

01:08
meet in one place
to practice their languages.

21
56160

da bi vježbali jezike.

01:11
There are several such polyglot events
organized all around the world,

22
59040
3296
Postoji nekoliko takvih događanja za
poliglote diljem svijeta,
poliglote diljem svijeta,
01:14
and so I decided to go there
23
62360
1376
pa sam odlučila otići tamo
01:15
and ask polyglots
about the methods that they use.
about the methods that they use.
24
63760
2440
i pitati poliglote
o metodama koje koriste.

01:19
And so I met Benny from Ireland,
25
67200
1936
Tako sam upoznala Bennyja iz Irske
01:21
who told me that his method
is to start speaking from day one.

26
69160

koji mi je rekao da je njegova metoda
početi pričati od prvog dana.

01:26
He learns a few phrases
from a travel phrasebook
from a travel phrasebook
27
74240
2896
On nauči nekoliko fraza
iz turističkog vodiča

01:29
and goes to meet native speakers
28
77160
1576
te ode upoznati izvorne govornike
01:30
and starts having conversations
with them right away.

29
78760
2816
i odmah s njima
započne razgovore.

01:33
He doesn't mind making
even 200 mistakes a day,
even 200 mistakes a day,
30
81600
2776
Ne smeta mu ako napravi
i 200 pogrešaka dnevno,
i 200 pogrešaka dnevno,
01:36
because that's how he learns,
based on the feedback.
based on the feedback.
31
84400
2440
jer on tako uči,
na temelju povratnih informacija.
na temelju povratnih informacija.
01:39
And the best thing is, he doesn't
even need to travel a lot today,
even need to travel a lot today,
32
87480
3136
Najbolje od svega je što
danas ne treba mnogo putovati,
danas ne treba mnogo putovati,
01:42
because you can easily have
conversations with native speakers

33
90640
2936
jer možete jednostavno razgovarati
s izvornim govornicima

from the comfort of
your living room, using websites.

01:48
I also met Lucas from Brazil
35
96320
1776
Upoznala sam i Lucasa iz Brazila
01:50
who had a really interesting
method to learn Russian.

36
98120
2480
koji je imao jako zanimljivu metodu
za učenje ruskog.
za učenje ruskog.
01:53
He simply added a hundred random
Russian speakers on Skype as friends,
Russian speakers on Skype as friends,
37
101200
5656
Jednostavno je nasumce dodao stotinu
ruskih govornika na Skypu za prijatelje,
ruskih govornika na Skypu za prijatelje,
01:58
and then he opened
a chat window with one of them
a chat window with one of them
38
106880
3896
otvorio je prozor za razgovor
s jednim od njih
s jednim od njih
02:02
and wrote "Hi" in Russian.
39
110800
1440
i napisao „Bok" na ruskom.
02:05
And the person replied, "Hi, how are you?"
40
113000
2576
Osoba je odgovorila, „Bok, kako si?"
02:07
Lucas copied this and put it
into a text window with another person,
into a text window with another person,
41
115600
4456
Lukas je to kopirao i stavio
u razgovor s drugom osobom,
u razgovor s drugom osobom,
02:12
and the person replied,
"I'm fine, thank you, and how are you?"
"I'm fine, thank you, and how are you?"
42
120080
3576
i ta osoba je odgovorila,
„Dobro sam, hvala, a kako si ti?
„Dobro sam, hvala, a kako si ti?
02:15
Lucas copied this
back to the first person,
back to the first person,
43
123680
2976
Lukas je to kopirao
natrag prvoj osobi,
natrag prvoj osobi,
02:18
and in this way, he had two strangers
have a conversation with each other
have a conversation with each other
44
126680
3456
i na taj način su dva stranca
razgovarala međusobno
razgovarala međusobno
02:22
without knowing about it.
45
130160
1416
bez da su tog bila svjesna.
02:23
(Laughter)
46
131600
1256
(Smijeh)
02:24
And soon he would start typing himself,
47
132880
1896
Uskoro je i sam počeo tipkata,
02:26
because he had so many
of these conversations
of these conversations
48
134800
2136
jer je imao toliko
ovakvih razgovora
ovakvih razgovora
02:28
that he figured out how
the Russian conversation usually starts.
the Russian conversation usually starts.
49
136960
3016
da je shvatio kako
razgovori na ruskom obično započinju.
razgovori na ruskom obično započinju.
02:32
What an ingenious method, right?
50
140000
2336
Koja genijalna metoda, zar ne?
02:34
And then I met polyglots who always start
by imitating sounds of the language,
by imitating sounds of the language,
51
142360
4496
Zatim sam upoznala poliglote koji uvijek
započinju imitirajući zvukove jezika,
započinju imitirajući zvukove jezika,
02:38
and others who always learn the 500
most frequent words of the language,
most frequent words of the language,
52
146880
4416
i ostale koji uvijek nauče 500
najčešćih riječi jezika,
najčešćih riječi jezika,
02:43
and yet others who always start
by reading about the grammar.
by reading about the grammar.
53
151320
3400
i druge koji uvijek započinju
proučavajući gramatiku.
proučavajući gramatiku.
02:47
If I asked a hundred different polyglots,
54
155600
2296
Da pitam stotinu različitih poliglota,
02:49
I heard a hundred different
approaches to learning languages.
approaches to learning languages.
55
157920
3616
čula bih stotinu različitih
pristupa učenju jezika.
pristupa učenju jezika.
02:53
Everybody seems to have a unique way
they learn a language,
they learn a language,
56
161560
3616
Čini se da svatko ima jedinstven
način učenja jezika,
način učenja jezika,
02:57
and yet we all come to the same result
of speaking several languages fluently.
of speaking several languages fluently.
57
165200
3880
a opet svi dođemo do istog rezultata
tečnog govorenja nekoliko jezika.
tečnog govorenja nekoliko jezika.
03:02
And as I was listening to these polyglots
telling me about their methods,
telling me about their methods,
58
170120
4296
Dok sam slušala te poliglote
dok govore o svojim metodama,
dok govore o svojim metodama,
03:06
it suddenly dawned on me:
59
174440
2296
iznenada mi je sinulo:
03:08
the one thing we all have in common
60
176760
3136
jedna stvar koja nam je zajednička
03:11
is that we simply found ways to enjoy
the language-learning process.
the language-learning process.
61
179920
5536
je da smo jednostavno našli načine
kako uživati u učenju jezika.
kako uživati u učenju jezika.
03:17
All of these polyglots
were talking about language learning
were talking about language learning
62
185480
2776
Svi ti poligloti su
govorili o učenju jezika
govorili o učenju jezika
03:20
as if it was great fun.
63
188280
1256
kao o zabavi.
03:21
You should have seen their faces
64
189560
1576
Trebali ste im vidjeti lica
03:23
when they were showing me
their colorful grammar charts
their colorful grammar charts
65
191160
2616
dok su mi pokazivali
šarene gramatičke bilješke
šarene gramatičke bilješke
03:25
and their carefully handmade flash cards,
66
193800
2496
i pažljivo ispisane memorijske kartice,
03:28
and their statistics
about learning vocabulary using apps,
about learning vocabulary using apps,
67
196320
3016
i njihove statistike
o učenju vokabulara koristeći aplikacije,
o učenju vokabulara koristeći aplikacije,
03:31
or even how they love to cook
based on recipes in a foreign language.
based on recipes in a foreign language.
68
199360
4200
ili čak kako vole kuhati
prema receptima na stranom jeziku.
prema receptima na stranom jeziku.
03:36
All of them use different methods,
69
204680
1736
Svi oni koriste različite metode,
03:38
but they always make sure
it's something that they personally enjoy.
it's something that they personally enjoy.
70
206440
3776
ali uvijek vode računa
da rade ono u čemu uživaju.
da rade ono u čemu uživaju.
03:42
I realized that this is actually
how I learn languages myself.
how I learn languages myself.
71
210240
3896
Shvatila sam da i ja
u stvari tako učim jezike.
u stvari tako učim jezike.
03:46
When I was learning Spanish,
I was bored with the text in the textbook.
I was bored with the text in the textbook.
72
214160
3576
Dok sam učila Španjolski,
tekstovi iz udžbenika su mi bili dosadni.
tekstovi iz udžbenika su mi bili dosadni.
03:49
I mean, who wants to read about Jose
73
217760
1736
Mislim, tko želi čitati o Joseu
03:51
asking about the directions
to the train station. Right?
to the train station. Right?
74
219520
3136
kako traži upute za doći
do željezničke stanice. Zar ne?
do željezničke stanice. Zar ne?
03:54
I wanted to read "Harry Potter" instead,
75
222680
2336
Radije sam htjela čitati "Harry Pottera",
03:57
because that was
my favorite book as a child,
my favorite book as a child,
76
225040
2136
to mi je bila najdraža
knjiga u djetinjstvu,
knjiga u djetinjstvu,
03:59
and I have read it many times.
77
227200
1656
i čitala sam je mnogo puta.
04:00
So I got the Spanish translation
of "Harry Potter" and started reading,
of "Harry Potter" and started reading,
78
228880
3616
Pa sam uzela španjolski prijevod
"Harry Pottera" i počela čitati,
"Harry Pottera" i počela čitati,
04:04
and sure enough, I didn't understand
almost anything at the beginning,
almost anything at the beginning,
79
232520
3336
i naravno, nisam razumjela
skoro ništa na početku,
skoro ništa na početku,
04:07
but I kept on reading
because I loved the book,
because I loved the book,
80
235880
2216
ali sam nastavila čitati
jer volim tu knjigu,
jer volim tu knjigu,
04:10
and by the end of the book, I was able
to follow it almost without any problems.
to follow it almost without any problems.
81
238120
4136
i do kraja knjige, mogla sam
pratiti skoro bez ikakvih problema.
pratiti skoro bez ikakvih problema.
04:14
And the same thing happened
when I was learning German.
when I was learning German.
82
242280
2616
Ista stvar mi se dogodila
kad sam učila njemački.
kad sam učila njemački.
04:16
I decided to watch "Friends,"
my favorite sitcom, in German,
my favorite sitcom, in German,
83
244920
3296
Odlučila sam gledati "Prijatelje",
moju najdražu seriju, na njemačkom,
moju najdražu seriju, na njemačkom,
04:20
and again, at the beginning
it was all just gibberish.
it was all just gibberish.
84
248240
3096
i opet, na početku mi
ništa nije imalo smisla.
ništa nije imalo smisla.
04:23
I didn't know where one word finished
and another one started,
and another one started,
85
251360
3176
Nisam znala gdje jedna riječ završava,
a druga počinje,
a druga počinje,
04:26
but I kept on watching every day
because it's "Friends."
because it's "Friends."
86
254560
2656
no i dalje sam gledala svaki dan
jer su to "Prijatelji".
jer su to "Prijatelji".
04:29
I can watch it in any language.
I love it so much.

87
257240
2376
Mogu ih gledati na bilo kojem jeziku.
Obožavam ih.

04:31
And after the second or third season,
88
259640
2016
I nakon druge ili treće sezone,
04:33
seriously, the dialogue
started to make sense.
started to make sense.
89
261680
2360
ozbiljno, razgovor
je počeo imati smisla.
je počeo imati smisla.
04:37
I only realized this
after meeting other polyglots.

90
265080
3056
Ovo sam shvatila nakon
što sam upoznala druge poliglote.

04:40
We are no geniuses
91
268160
1576
Mi nismo genijalci

and we have no shortcut
to learning languages.

92
269760
2416
i nemamo prečac
za učenje jezika.

04:44
We simply found ways

Tako poligloti uče jezike,
05:27
and the best news is,
it's available to anyone

05:34
So meeting other polyglots
helped me realize

110
322520
2096
Upoznavanje drugih poliglota
pomoglo mi je shvatim
pomoglo mi je shvatim
05:36
that it is really crucial
to find enjoyment

111
324640
3016
da je ključno pronaći užitak
05:39
in the process of learning languages,
112
327680
2096
u procesu učenja stranog jezika,
05:41
but also that joy in itself is not enough.
113
329800
3040
ali isto tako sam užitak nije dovoljan.
05:45
If you want to achieve fluency
in a foreign language,

Ako želite postići tečnost

the words will be stored

riječi će biti pohranjene u

06:01
and you'll forget them after a few days.
119
349000

i za par dana ćete ih zaboraviti.
06:03
If you, however,
want to keep words long term,

Ako ih, međutim,

06:06
you need to revise them
in the course of a few days repeatedly

trebate ih stalno ponavljati
tokom nekoliko dana

using the so-called space repetition.

You can use apps which are based

06:34
The third principle to follow
130
382840
1976
Treće načelo
06:36
is to create a system in your learning.
131
384840
2160
je organizirati svoje učenje.
06:39
We're all very busy and no one
really has time to learn a language today.

132
387720
4216
Svi smo vrlo zauzeti i nitko u biti
nema vremena učiti jezik danas.
nema vremena učiti jezik danas.
06:43
But we can create that time
if we just plan a bit ahead.
if we just plan a bit ahead.
133
391960
3776
No, možemo stvoriti vrijeme
ako planiramo samo malo unaprijed.
ako planiramo samo malo unaprijed.
06:47
Can you wake up 15 minutes earlier
than you normally do?
than you normally do?
134
395760
3416
Možete li se probuditi
15 minuta ranije nego inače?
15 minuta ranije nego inače?
06:51
That would be the perfect time
to revise some vocabulary.

135
399200
3296
To bi bilo savršeno vrijeme
za ponoviti vokabular.

06:54
Can you listen to a podcast
on your way to work while driving?

136
402520

Možete li slušati podcast

06:58
Well, that would be great
to get some listening experience.

137
406280
3456
To bi bilo odlično
da steknete iskustvo slušanja.

07:01
There are so many things we can do
without even planning that extra time,

138
409760
3456
Toliko stvari možemo raditi
bez da uopće planiramo dodatno vrijeme,

07:05
such as listening to podcasts
on our way to work

kao što je slušanje podcasta

07:07
or doing our household chores.
140
415920

ili dok obavljamo kućanske poslove.
07:09
The important thing is
to create a plan in the learning.

141
417600
3296
Važno je napraviti
plan za učenje.

07:21
If you create a system in your learning,
145
429960
2136
Ako organizirate svoje učenje,
07:24
you don't need to find that extra time,
146
432120
1896
ne morate pronaći dodatno vrijeme,
07:26
because it will become
a part of your everyday life.
a part of your everyday life.
147
434040
2440
jer će postati dio
svakodnevnog života.
svakodnevnog života.
07:29
And finally, if you want to learn
a language fluently,
a language fluently,
148
437880
3216
I na kraju, ako želite naučiti
jezik tečno,
jezik tečno,
07:33
you need also a bit of patience.
149
441120
2720
trebate biti strpljivi.
07:36
It's not possible to learn
a language within two months,
a language within two months,
150
444600
2736
Nije moguće naučiti
jezik u dva mjeseca,
jezik u dva mjeseca,
07:39
but it's definitely possible to make
a visible improvement in two months,
a visible improvement in two months,
151
447360
3896
ali je svakako moguće
vidljivo napredovati u dva mjeseca,
vidljivo napredovati u dva mjeseca,
07:43
if you learn in small chunks every day
in a way that you enjoy.
in a way that you enjoy.
152
451280
3736
ako svaki dan učite male dijelove
u kojima uživate.
u kojima uživate.
07:47
And there is nothing
that motivates us more
that motivates us more
153
455040
2136
I ništa nas ne motivira više
07:49
than our own success.
154
457200
1240
nego vlastiti uspjeh.
07:51
I vividly remember the moment
155
459120
1896
Živo se sjećam trenutka
07:53
when I understood the first joke
in German when watching "Friends."
in German when watching "Friends."
156
461040
3680
kada sam razumjela prvu šalu
na njemačkom gledajući "Prijatelje".
na njemačkom gledajući "Prijatelje".
07:57
I was so happy and motivated
157
465280
1856
Bila sam tako sretna i motivirana
07:59
that I just kept on watching that day
two more episodes,
two more episodes,
158
467160
3016
da sam taj dan pogledala
još dvije epizode,
još dvije epizode,
08:02
and as I kept watching,
159
470200
1736
i dok sam gledala,
08:03
I had more and more of those moments
of understanding, these little victories,
of understanding, these little victories,
160
471960
4216
razumjela sam sve više i više,
to su bile male pobjede,
to su bile male pobjede,
08:08
and step by step, I got to a level
where I could use the language
where I could use the language
161
476200
3456
i korak po korak, došla sam
do razine da mogu koristiti jezik
do razine da mogu koristiti jezik
08:11
freely and fluently to express anything.
162
479680
2856
slobodno i tečno da izrazim bilo što.
08:14
This is a wonderful feeling.
163
482560
1520
To je predivan osjećaj.
08:16
I can't get enough of that feeling,
164
484800
1696
Ne mogu ga se zasititi,
08:18
and that's why I learn
a language every two years.
a language every two years.
165
486520
2816
i zato učim jezik
svake dvije godine.
svake dvije godine.
08:21
So this is the whole polyglot secret.
166
489360
2056
I to je cijela tajna poliglota.
08:23
Find effective methods
which you can use systematically
which you can use systematically
167
491440
2856
Nađite učinkovite metode
koje možete sustavno koristiti
koje možete sustavno koristiti
08:26
over the period of some time
in a way which you enjoy,
in a way which you enjoy,
168
494320
3296
tokom određenog vremenskog perioda
i uživati u njima,
i uživati u njima,
08:29
and this is how polyglots learn
languages within months, not years.
languages within months, not years.
169
497640
3880
i tako poligloti nauče jezike
tokom nekoliko mjeseci, ne godina.
tokom nekoliko mjeseci, ne godina.
08:35
Now, some of you may be thinking,
170
503160
1616
Sada, neki od vas sigurno misle,
08:36
"That's all very nice
to enjoy language learning,
to enjoy language learning,
171
504800
2336
„Jako je lijepo
uživati u učenju jezika,
uživati u učenju jezika,
08:39
but isn't the real secret
that you polyglots
that you polyglots
172
507160
2536
ali zar nije prava tajna
da ste vi poligloti
da ste vi poligloti
08:41
are just super talented
and most of us aren't?"
and most of us aren't?"
173
509720
2600
samo jako nadareni
dok većina nas nije?"

08:45
Well, there's one thing
I haven't told you about Benny and Lucas.

174
513320
3080
Pa, postoji jedna stvar koju
vam nisam rekla o Bennyju i Lucasu.

Nije ih uopće znao govoriti

08:58
Up to the age of 21, he thought
he didn't have the language gene

177
526240
4176
Do 21. godine, mislio je da
nema talent za jezike

09:02
and he could not speak another language.
178
530440
2416
i da ne može pričati drugi jezik.
09:04
Then he started to look
for his way of learning languages,

179
532880
2936
Tada je počeo tražiti
svoj način učenja jezika,

which was speaking to native speakers
and getting feedback from them,

09:11
and today Benny can easily
have a conversation in 10 languages.

3960
i danas Benny može lako voditi
razgovor na 10 jezika.

09:17
Lucas tried to learn English

545120
3296
Lucas je 10 godina pokušavao
naučiti engleski u školi.
naučiti engleski u školi.
09:20
He was one of the worst students in class.
183
548440
2616
Bio je jedan od najgorih učenika u razredu.
09:23
His friends even made fun of him
184
551080
1616
Prijatelji su mu se rugali
09:24
and gave him a Russian textbook as a joke
185
552720
2616
i iz šale mu dali ruski udžbenik
09:27
because they thought he would never
learn that language, or any language.
learn that language, or any language.
186
555360
3736
jer su mislili da nikad neće
naučiti taj jezik, ni ijedan drugi.
naučiti taj jezik, ni ijedan drugi.
09:31
And then Lucas started
to experiment with methods,
to experiment with methods,
187
559120
2376
Tada je Lucas počeo
isprobavati metode,
isprobavati metode,
09:33
looking for his own way to learn,
188
561520
1800
tražeći svoj način učenja,
09:36
for example, by having Skype chat
conversations with strangers.

189
564520
4176
na primjer, vodeći na Skypeu
razgovore sa strancima.
razgovore sa strancima.
09:40
And after just 10 years,
190
568720
1816
I nakon samo 10 godina,
09:42
Lucas is able to speak
11 languages fluently.

191
570560
3320
Lucas može pričati
11 jezika tečno.
11 jezika tečno.
09:47
Does that sound like a miracle?
192
575000
1560
Zvuči li to kao čudo?
09:49
Well, I see such miracles
every single day.
every single day.
193
577440
2600
Pa, vidim takva čuda
svaki dan.
svaki dan.
09:52
As a language mentor,
194
580760
1336
Kao jezični mentor,
09:54
I help people learn
languages by themselves,
languages by themselves,
195
582120
2416
pomažem ljudima da
samostalno nauče jezike,

09:56
and I see this every day.
196
584560
1296
i vidim to svaki dan.
09:57
People struggle with language learning
for five, 10, even 20 years,
for five, 10, even 20 years,
197
585880
4176
Ljudi se muče sa učenjem jezika
5, 10, čak i 20 godina,
5, 10, čak i 20 godina,
10:02
and then they suddenly take
their learning into their own hands,
their learning into their own hands,
198
590080
3856
i onda odjednom preuzmu
učenje u svoje ruke,
učenje u svoje ruke,
10:05
start using materials which they enjoy,
more effective methods,
more effective methods,
199
593960
3296
počnu koristiti materijale u kojima
uživaju, učinkovitije metode,
uživaju, učinkovitije metode,
10:09
or they start tracking their learning
200
597280
1816
ili počnu pratiti vlastito učenje
10:11
so that they can appreciate
their own progress,
their own progress,
201
599120
2936
pa mogu cijeniti
svoj napredak,
svoj napredak,
10:14
and that's when suddenly
202
602080
1936
i onda kada odjednom
10:16
they magically find the language talent
that they were missing all their lives.
that they were missing all their lives.
203
604040
4200
magično pronađu talent za jezik
koji im je nedostajao cijeli život.

10:21
So if you've also tried
to learn a language

204
609480
2176
Ako ste i vi pokušali
učiti jezik
učiti jezik
10:23
and you gave up,
thinking it's too difficult

205
611680
2416
i odustali ste,
misleći da je preteško
misleći da je preteško
10:26
or you don't have the language talent,
206
614120
2256
ili da nemate talent za jezik,
10:28
give it another try.
207
616400
1536
pokušajte ponovno.
10:29
Maybe you're also
just one enjoyable method away

2856
Možda vas samo jedna
ugodna metoda dijeli

10:32
from learning that language fluently.

Maybe you're just one method away
from becoming a polyglot.
