    2:18 “Futebol? Futebol eu não gosto amigo eu sou DJ”
    That translates to “football? No, I don’t like football, I’m a DJ, music is my thing”
    *of course I love football*

      This reminds me of the time I was with some friends, one of them half-Japanese. At some point I said one very simple sentence in Japanese ("kore wa nan desu ka" == "what's this?"), and he went completely bananas, eyes wide open, shouting "you speak Japanese and you've never told me!!", only because I got the accent right and I sounded convincing. BTW, I still can't understand basic directions in Japanese.

      To be fair, his language skills varies language to language - he's clearly very confident in Tagalog and Portuguese which are featured here, but his Mandarin and Cantonese skills are limited. And I struggled to understand his Mandarin as his tones are waaaay off (Chinese languages are tonal, which is often a challenge for white people who are not used to this aspect of the language) and he needs a wider range of vocabulary - like he uses 'hao li hai' for everything which is like, oh come on, there's more than one way to express the concept of "that's great/good" or "alright" and hao li hai can mean like 'that's awesome' or even 'you're awesome' but he uses it to describe himself sometimes and I would find that inappropriate if a native speaker did that (self-praise is a no-no) but I can forgive him as a foreign speaker who is not using the most appropriate term. However, as a fellow polyglot, yeah, it's impossible to be fluent in every language you speak - you'll be fluent in some of them and get by in others, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be afraid to use those foreign languages that you're not fluent in. However, for the purpose of RUclips, perhaps it was a mistake to try to do stuff in Mandarin which is struggles in (and he admits that in the video) - the Tagalog and Portuguese were impressive though. Mandarin is a bloody difficult language to master as a European and he's trying his best.

    • @TeddeeJordan
      @TeddeeJordan 5 лет назад +7

      How many languages can you? I think he's got better than that in quite a few and still beginning to learn others. One of the big issues with language acquisition is people feel insecure about speaking it until they get "good enough," and they can't get "good enough" without actual conversational practice. He'll get much better much faster by going out and speaking to people, even if he has to initially keep conversations very simple and makes many mistakes.
      English is my first language, but I speak a little German and Spanish, and I'm currently learning Cherokee. Outside of Spanish, there's literally no one I can speak with in person where I live, but I make a point to try to use German and Cherokee in online conversations regularly. I'm sure in a few years I will look back on stuff I've said now and find tons of errors, especially with the Cherokee polysynthesis, but all that will mean is I'm improving, and the year after that it will be the same.
