An Aussie language learner on YouTube: A chat with Lamont from Days of French ‘n’ Swedish

YouTube can be a real treasure trove of information and inspiration for language learners, especially when it comes to hearing about other people’s experiences and how it might be able to help you in your own language learning journey. If you’re like us, we love hearing tips and recommendations from others!

In this episode of Language Chats, we speak with NSW-based Lamont, the creator behind the Days of French ‘n’ Swedish YouTube channel. Lamont has been learning languages for over five years now with a major focus on Swedish and, with over 54,000 subscribers on YouTube (as of July 2022), his informative language learning videos clearly have a significant audience of interested viewers! We chat with Lamont about his own language learning experiences, his YouTube channels and how this started, why he decided to stop learning French, his favourite YouTube videos that he has created, and more.
