Languages I MUST Learn Before I DIE

Things we can learn from the video

1:12His first goal is C2 certificates in French, Spanish and Russian by 2030.
5:32Modern Standard Arabic has a possible 2040 certification target, with regional dialects also on his list.
6:38Portuguese, Italian and Romanian form part of his ambition for fluency across the Romance language family.
9:16Video games and media inspire his interest in Korean, though he finds the script challenging.
11:26The wider bucket list includes Japanese, Polish, Serbian, Scandinavian languages, Burmese and Georgian.
13:35He emphasizes enjoying language learning itself rather than focusing only on the final goal.

What does a self-described hyperpolyglot want next? For Language Simp, part of the answer is surprisingly tangible: official diplomas to display in a dedicated home office.

His only upload this week, "Languages I MUST Learn Before I DIE", sets out a language-learning bucket list with specific goals behind the grand title. He wants C2 certificates in French, Spanish and Russian by 2030. The paperwork is not just a victory lap for someone who already studies languages. "But these tests are hard and you have to specifically study for them," he says.

The list soon expands beyond that first deadline. Modern Standard Arabic comes with a possible 2040 target, alongside an interest in regional dialects. Portuguese, Italian and Romanian fit into his ambition to become fluent across the Romance language family. Korean has a different pull: video games and media make him want to learn it, even as he finds the script challenging.

The video drew about 43,000 views in its first fourteen hours and has the strongest current momentum among his uploads. September's "All Polyglots Are Faking It" continues to draw viewers, while "Why Learning Russian Feels IMPOSSIBLE" offers a more granular journey through pronunciation, cases and verbs of motion.

Across the channel, daily viewing is close to its usual level, and the subscriber total was unchanged over the week. Under the new video, meanwhile, the wish list keeps expanding: viewers suggest ancient Egyptian, Latin, Georgian and languages with click consonants. One describes years of alternating intense Japanese study with long breaks, a useful counterpoint to Language Simp's closing emphasis on enjoying the process rather than only chasing the outcome.

You should do ancient Egyptian

You should study Latin!! You can read a ton of cool texts with it and it’d help you get fluent in english.

I have been trying to study Japanese for over 5 years. I start studying like crazy and do it for 4 days straight all day until I can't do it anymore and stay 4 months without studying a single minute. Then I go back to studying like crazy for a few days and it has been repeating for years.
