How language stacking helps you learn a new one faster #polyglot #languagelearning

If you don't have experience learning any language before, you might be better off starting with a bit of an easier one relative to your native language.

We don't have that. " I was like, "Oh, this thing they use in Japanese is very similar to Korean. I'm get it.
