      Babbel The translation missed out when Luca said "suédois" (Swedish) when Matthew asked him, in French, which languages he speaks.

    This is fascinating, especially when they talk about how your personality can change slightly when you enter the "reality" of another language.
    I currently speak 5 languages, and I've found this happens to me. Some of my other friends who are also polyglots have also noticed this. For example, in Spanish, I tend to be a more relaxed, cool, confident & happy version of myself, while in French I tend to act a little bit more reserved.
    Loved this video!

      Mandarin (intermediate, my level is between an HSK 3 and 4 if you're familiar with the HSK tests)

      Therefore,
      Portuguese fluently (mother language)
      French A1
      English B2 ( Bc I can't speak it well)
      I don't want to came off as a nosy person. May I ask what do you do for living? I've always wondered what people who know tons of language do as an occupation.

    • @kalpic11
      @kalpic11 9 лет назад

      ***** Wait... how is it an insult to American culture? The only thing I can think of is that people in the UK pronounce most words how they're spelled, like "been" or "aluminium." And that language changes and it isn't necessarily wrong if it's pronounced in a different way than it originally was, so that could manifest as insulting American English, I guess...

    • @kalpic11
      @kalpic11 9 лет назад

      ***** I have heard really good reasons for not liking the U.S., though. It's basically mostly right-winged U.S. that they're talking about when they criticize it. But basically I was told in school that the U.S. was the greatest country and that we were top in everything and that everyone else who is successful is copying us or trying to be like us. But I learn later that not everyone looks up to us like we're some kind of shining beacon of success or moral knights for everyone ("giving people democracy"). And I think because of those things we've been taught, we tend to have an arrogant way of viewing ourselves as Americans and see other countries as not quite up to par, even if we don't admit it. And that seems borderline nationalistic to me.

    Aaaah quanto mi ritrovo in questa situazione e in queste riflessioni. Sono italofona ma adoro studiare le lingue. J'habites à Fribourg, eine Stadt in der Schweiz, where people speak French and a Swiss German dialect. Il s'agit donc d'une ville bilingue. Il mio ragazzo è svizzero tedesco e ha imparato il francese con me. Donc nous nous parlons tjr en français, even if it is not our native language. Le nostre conversazioni sono identiche a come scrivo e come è mostrato nel video. Ce qui est beau dans l'apprentissage des langues consists in the fact that every language has its expressions that fits perfectly and you can't translate them. Spesso mi capita di parlare in italiano e utilizzare delle parole in altre lingue perchè le trovo molto piú convincenti. Ahora estoy estudiando el Español porque es un idioma muy bonito y similar a el italiano y el francés. Cependant je suis bcp plus fascinée par l'apprentissage du Japonais. 日本語は美しい。私は少し日本語お話ます (住みません、 I can't find how to write ほ in this sentence correctly). Also, die Sprache sind sehr lustig und Interessant. Viel Spass und Viel Glück, Leute! Liebe Grüsse from Switzerland :)

    **Discuss how much your personality changes when you speak a foreign language** **Proceeds to exclusively speak in Romance/Germanic languages that are structurally similar in grammar, syntax, and vocabulary**
    Try this with a language drastically different from your native one, and you'll see different results. I act/express myself differently in Mandarin because it's fundamentally different from English. It's not some persona that one can just slap on for fun.

    it is so funny that they have close to no foreign accent when speaking german, the only thing that gives it away is that it is to clear/crisp. "natural" german is a little bit more mumbled. perhaps people in hannover speak very clearly but the regular german speaks a bit faster and mumbles just a little bit. foreigners just tend to say every word. for example, weird example but it fits very well. imagine somebody in a thinking process saying: hmmm i dont know how to put it/ i can not conform that (it is not the exact translation, just similar to the german meaning of the upcomming phrase). in german: hmmm kann ich so nicht sagen. would be in spoken german: kanich sonich sagn... certain words amalgamate somehow.

    How do they manage not to have an accent. Their German is fantastic. I grew up in Germany while being born in Poland and learning english on the way I ended up having a foreign accent in each language. How do they control that?

    If you're really good with numbers, trading, accounting, financials etc... don't expect to ever speak another language this fluently. And vise versa. You tend to be good at one or the other.

      Sorry man but that's not true, i'm a software engineer and game maker, I deal with a lot of maths and algorithms but I love learning languages and I can speak Japanese pretty fluently, Korean decent, Spanish also decent. Don't have a video to showcase or anything to prove it but my point stands, if you want to learn languages, there's no secret or some kind of predisposition to be good or bad. Just start studying from the basics, move on and start practicing, eventually you'll speak just fine.

    When do you consider that you "speak" a language? Because there are always some subtilities left that you can learn. I wonder from which point we can say that we "speak" a language.
    Anyway, I wanted to hear all of those he says he can speak. Where is Japanese and Chinese for instance?
    In the meantime, those European languages they spoke right there with a relatively silent accent were pretty good, I'm impressed.

      I don't believe that just by being able to have a casual conversation about easy subjects you can really say you "speak" a language. Although it requires more than just words, of course.

    • @TheFighterfemme
      @TheFighterfemme 7 лет назад +1

      I would say you can speak a language when you can understand and be understood, in speaking, reading, writing and listening, with only mild grammar errors. As for words and nuances there will always be room to learn. Even in a native language.

    • @ulemper

      Dule Savic Cool, now that I think about it I probably speak no languages fluently, but i'm pretty damn good with somali,english and danish. If I were to add one more language it would be spanish. I already speak a little bit spanish, but I wanna be able to actually have a full conversation in spanish. Always liked how spanish sounds. 5th language to master would be french, but I don't see that happening in the foreseeable future.

      @nicci pooh you can become a polyglot if that's what you really want i don't know about yor schedule during the day every one in this world has to work in order to survive,but i tell you what you can do if english is your native tongue the next one to consider is spanish because to begincwith it is the easiest language to learn ,it is 100% percent Phonetic ,unless you have a particular language in mind that you really,really like to learn first ;motivation ,discipline,&the most important one is INTERACTION because that is going to be the key for any one to start speaking any target language. Dont worry if you make mistakes anyone that learns a language MakesThem. now if you want to retain words writte them on paper stickers & glue them on the wall in your bedroom,get vocabulary cue cards bring down language applications like duolingo is a free app &is a good tool to start learning a language then there is babbel which forba reasonable amount like 9.99 dollars teaches beginners ,intermediate levels there are others like pimsleur which i found very good, but expensive.you can do !! do not procrastinate a dream that you want to do just do it it's better to try than wonder if you could 've done it???????

      for the simple reason its called PORTUGuese? anyway sure i wouldnt mind the brazilian flag if they at least stated that it stands for brazilian portuguese as I've seen in many websites where you can change the language to PT-BR.. but at least in those cases they SAY its BR instead of just not considering portugal at all

    • @Juniorfoxnetdude
      @Juniorfoxnetdude 8 лет назад +5

      loli Drocax
      But we also speak PORTUGUESE. It is our national language too. We represent the Portuguese language as much as Portugal...so our flag is equivalent, just like most of the time you will see an American flag representing the English language instead of a Brittish one.

      Some people say they speak a language and they don't even have an A1 level. That's not speaking a language. For example, I studied 1 year french => I can say I speak french, NO. You speak a language when you don't care using it or your mother tongue.
