As an American this video is crazy to me. Not just because of him but because everyone around him knew 2 to 3 languages. Really puts things into perspective
@@montanawhite5699 there is quite a reason for that...Spanish is a common second language but in the US but many do not know another language due to the majority of English there
@@montanawhite5699 not just American, English people too. I've spent years trying to learn French and nothing sticks. Just words but I think English speakers struggle with grammar in other language. English grammar is very different to other grammar.
I mean in a video about trying speaking a language he doesn’t know you’re not going to find only English speakers lol that’s kinda common sense. Most Americans speak another language at least where I live.
I think I understand why he was able to absorb so many languages. He’s not afraid to be wrong and speak everything he knows and use it to form however broken conversations in that foreign language. If he doesn’t understand he repeats the words until he can pick up a vague comprehension. In some way this is super powerful and impressive.
Some languages has the same words and similar sentences. The pronounce is the key. This is why he stuck sometimes. He repeat a word until hit that. But its normal if you speak too many languages
That mother, daughter duo was something else. The diversity is beautiful. Different people, different cultures, different languages. It is really beautiful.

He’s probably not perfect with any of these languages but still, this is rather impressive. Imagine the thought process of thinking in different languages. Pretty crazy to an uncultured fella like me who’s only fluent in English
as an Estonian I could win this challenge once since literally no one other than Estonians or people planning to visit Estonia know it. but at the same time it is cool how many languages you as a creator speak.
Same with my language. Kazakh is not as popular as, for example, Russian, although in my country people speak both languages. This is a type of Turkish languages
The fact that he's not afraid to use the languages he speaks regardless of his skill level is what's most impressive to me. It's also what stops a lot of people from even attempting to learn a new language. Thanks for this great video, you've motivated me to keep going in my own language studies :)
The fact that Moldovan and Romanian were treated as 2 languages would probably also mean that the Serbian girl could feed her whole family if she said she also speaks Croatian, Montenegrin and Bosnian.
I am from Moldova. There are 2 groups, one who think we speak romanian and one who think we speak moldavian. But my opinion and a opinion of majority is that we speak romanian.
Basically Romania and Moldova use the same language, the only thing thats different is the accent, is like in the other countries where the accent is different regarding the region
@@delotrium6207 another example is American, English and Australian. Still all basically English, but how they are used and spoken are quite different from one another.
There are many wannebe multilinguals on RUclips nowadays, but this one is good. Sure, in some languages he expresses himself in a simpler way, uses more patterns, but his pronounciation is really good. I learned about six languages in my life of which I speak three fluently and I'm amazed, how fast he can switch the language. Thumbs up.
Haha the average Dutch person does most definitely *not* speak three or more languages unless you think knowing the words "oui" and "croissant" means you speak French. Most Dutch people speak Dutch (obviously), broken English (but just good enough to be understandable), and a few words and phrases in one or two other languages. This is not to shit on my fellow countrymen but let's please not overestimate ourselves 😅
When you don't understand the language that he speaks, he sounds great and so fluent. But when you know it, he sounds a little weird and broken imho. Still, he's so amazing!!!
@@redfishswimming your life must be so sad man. They did it for themselves not for somebody else, so yes the 2 woman are really smart and you don't represent the thoughts of people from poorer countries that emigrate.

It’s so fun to speak a language people don’t expect you to speak. It makes all the hours of learning and practice worth it plus it’s amazing connecting with people in a way you wouldn’t be able to otherwise. 😊
4:40 The girl is right. According to Moldovan law there is no difference between Moldovan and Romanian, they are different ways of calling the same language. It is like saying that Castilian and Spanish are different languages.
I lived in Romania for 4 years, and when I moved back to the US I surprised a Moldovan customer with my limited Romanian as soon as I learned where he was from (literally only other country where the language is spoken). I don't get as much of a reaction when I speak French or Spanish maybe German, but the Romanian definitely throws people off.
@@olafschermann1592 It's a Latin-based language, so in some ways it sounds similar to Spanish or Italian. Maybe it's the accent or the pronunciation? I learned German too.
@@olafschermann1592 probably because of the accent being stronger. Romanian already has words from a lot of different languages but with a stronger accent its a lot more simillar to german, dutch. etc. Romanian has a different accent more simillar to Italian for example.

My poor history teacher will have a heart attack if she'll ever hear you say that Maldovian and Romanian are 2 different languages. Basically URSS told us that we speak a different language than our compatriots. So there's just a Maldovian accent. I'm pretty sure that American, British and Australian are in the end just English spoken differently. Peace 🕊️
@@WolfGamingClipd it' not even a full dialect...it's just an accent. I'm from north east romania and find it easier to understand moldavian then people from oltenia.
at first I didn't know how decent he speak because I can't speak all those languages, but when he spoke my native tone, I instantly knew this man is decent in every one. He even nailed the local dialect accent.
You would be surprised how many countries learn German. I even met Spanish people who had german as their second language. I also met Russians and Romanians who spoke German.
@@solidVI In my last company was a Dutch controller and he understood me (GR) well but I don’t know who long he lives in Zurich. But agreed as not even most Germans understand us. :) but does Swiss German count as a language? I mean we have no grammar?
im so impressed by his french, even though he did a couple mistakes obviously his accent nearly perfect and it's fascinating how he didnt once mistake masculine from feminine as it is an extremely common mistake for anyone who has french as a second language.
I think the most mind blowing thing about this guy is how he has managed to maintain an accent that is in sync with each one of the languages. That's some pretty mad impressive stuff 💯
The accent is quite bit bad but perfectly understandable for a Chinese person. PLUS he knows like 20 other languages so I cant really brag about it lol
@@chexcollects No, no it’s like, for a Chinese, you can clearly tell that the guy didn’t focus on it for like five or six years and for some people even a decade on the language (either you stay in China for that long or you must be born and raised in there) Or else you have a kinda funny accent in which some people have issues with understanding. The accent is surprisingly ok for a person who speaks 20 other languages, that was what I was trying to say.
Enchantement tables are actually in English but use the "Standard Galactic Alphabet" which is an invented alphabet used in certain video games such as Minecraft :)
As a Greek, respect. He does some mistakes while speaking, but his accent is quite impressive for someone who's learning without growing up listening to Greek.
It happens a lot when you speak different languages because in most cases you make direct translations to sentences. Written and Spoken language, however he's impressive
Same goes for french, the grammar is off but still very understandable! And if he himself understands all the languages that he kinda speaks then it's jackpot
As someone who can speak Korean, I can confirm that... he might have skipped some words or said things informally when he spoke in Korean but it was good overall.
@@고양이-w1h TBH yeah LOL... maybe this whole Squid Game thing will help him improve though. My Korean isn't THAT good either but I do have pretty accurate pronunciation. My vocabulary isn't as good, as someone who uses English with my friends.
@@dorothycho2467 My Koreans is probably even worser than yours but even someone thst studied Korean for a month can tell he's just mumbling half of the time XP Anyways i don't think this squid game hype is gonna help him much, he's bizzy learning so many languages but can't really speak them yk?? At least most of them..
@@고양이-w1h Yeah he is learning a lot of languages for sure and I'm sure his Korean will improve, but it can be very hard to pronounce Korean as someone who speaks English because it's very unique. Grammar in Korean can get complicated too. It's like using y tú and y usted in Spanish, Koreans have a formal and informal way of saying things. So I could imagine it being hind for a Dutch person to learn as well as Dutch dialect is COMPLETELY different from Korean from what I hear.
yes and no. still being able to hold a conversation with someone in their mother tongue, is something people will think about for awhile. you speak to someone in a language they know, your talking to their brain, but when you talk to someone in their mother tongue, your speaking to their heart. dont down play it
I mean u expect him to speak every single bit of every language like a native speaker???. He's doing his best and he admits when his skills ain't good enough
HAHAHAHA LMFAO idk if i am one of those myself but honestly I have probably 7 learning (some with more progress than others) and the rest of them I only have them because I would suddenly want to try to learn them, but they are only there because I made some lessons. Although this man is very impressive and it inspires people I feel like he just learned some basic words of each language and a bit of grammar and tries to use that, which sometimes natives can get the idea but it's not fluent or at least 70percent correct 🙌🏻🤔
I speak french and learned english pretty easily as a kid. I've been learning spanish slowly, but without immersion or the mind of a child and with adult free time I find it much hard. Seeing this guy speak so many languages is truly impressive. He's clearly not afraid to be wrong and just try and in my opinion that's probably what makes him so good.
same with my cousin. he came from Africa and didn't speak a word of English, he lived in with us for a while and we spoke primarily English to him all the time and now hes fluent. id say it took him less than a year lol.
Je suis pas la même, j’essaie de apprendre français mais c’est facile vraiment de voir ce je parle pas le langue. J’apprends tout les jour et je l’aime.
I have the exact opposite issue, I grew up learning English and Spanish together, as I had one American parent and one Mexican, I was fortunately pretty much born bilingual. However, I have always wanted to learn French (I just love the culture and my father's side of the family is from there) but my school didn't offer it, so I'm learning it now as an adult. I'm fortunate that there's a lot of similarities between French and Spanish, not just cognate-wise but also just grammar-wise, so it doesn't feel like so much of a challenge as far as reading comprehension. Speaking French or listening to French are a completely different story lol, but I really want to learn! Good luck learning Spanish, I'm biased but I think it's such a pretty language. :)
He could be a very multilingual interpreter for tourism. Besides being so talented, he is very friendly and approachable to all these people of different cultures. I love watching this!
why would he want to have a low paying job as a tourist guide, he could pretty much work for the Government to interpret government business and trade among other countries.
While his skills are amazing, it's nowhere near fluent. It's impossible for a human to fluently speak almost every language. That would be better left to people who specialize in a select few languages
He's getting his languages mixt up at the end that made me laugh more, this is so impressive! I only speak 4, love to learn more, but I think I need a RAM update to be able to switch between them.
Compared to this guy! I'm Dutch, can speak English, German and French. Standard language options in the Netherlands. I did continue language study after graduating.
This is really impressive. I'm Brazilian, living in Canada who speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish and sometimes I have a hard time switching languages in my brain if there's people speaking more than one of those languages in a room and I"m in a conversation with them, Idk how you do this but it is amazing!!!
Even if you don't speak Gaelic, Finnish that well, or really any other languages, the fact you can swap out that easily and fluidly is insane. I barely know Spanish, Thai, and Korean. Each for various reasons.
I love that he instantly knew it was Moldovan, unfortunately we haven’t called it that for years so the official language is Romanian but that is awesome. Wish it was me that was there I love sushi
There is no such a thing as Moldovian, people from Moldova speak Romanian but with a different dialect. It's something that change with the region of the country, since Moldova was part of Romania, Moldovian was and will be just a dialect of Romanian.
I work at the airport and I really like speaking to people in their own language. I’m proud to say I can get through a customs declaration in 10 Languages. English, Spanish, German, Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean, Japanese, Arabic, French, Portuguese, and Russian. Working on Vietnamese
I love learning new languages. And I have been curious to work at an airport. Does it offer better pay if you know how to speak more languages fluently? Thanks! And awesome to hear too😁
There were some errors in the french he used, because he spoke it sometimes quite literally as if he was translating an english sentence into french. He might have done this for the other languages. However, i can still say that the guy can speak an incredible number of languages. (And i am impressed by that effort)
@@gurubalu6677 i never said he made too much errors, in fact he spoke it quite well as any french speaker could understand him. I am merely pointing the fact i said earlier. In fact i am quite impressed at the guy that made a huge effort to speak the languages of the video.
@@gurubalu6677 Why are you so worked up? Everyone is allowed to criticize and judge... This is the internet bro, and the internet doesn't like accomodating extremely sensitive snowflakes who need to be protected from the real world...
This polyglot guy has 5 languages he can speak really well. Others are just simple phrases, like your country is beautiful, culture and nice to meet you. Its also good
Well he is a human. If you specialize in learning a lot of languages you cant be perfect in any of them. As a German I can say his German doesnt sound that great, BUT he spoke German and he can communicate so that others can understand him, which I think is what is trying to achieve
The lady in the video mentioned that she thinks Moldavian and Romanian are the same language. It was just me who thought that Romanian and Moldovian are different languages. And just because I wasn't sure, I wanted to give them 2 sush dishes per person. Because I want to be fair to them, when I am not sure if they are different languages are not.
That’s really nice of you. I just wanted to make sure that you know the facts. Moldavia or Moldova was a part of Romania, but basically Russia took (stole) the eastern part of it. There’s still a Romanian part of Moldova
I love how friendly he is with other people always complimenting them. ''you guys are cute'' ''i like your hairstyle'' I only noticed it quote late in the video but its a good way to start conversations and maintain them throughout the many different languages

That's not "only". And I think being able to speak 2 languages is already commendable. The important thing is being intelligible in all the languages you speak
I'm Japanese and Thai and I can tell his accent is strong but every other language I wouldn't know if he was fluent or not 😂 The amount overall he knows from so many languages is still amazing though
"I'm on my 3rd attempt at Rosetta Stone Spanish..." - Bill Burr Knowing 2 or 3 languages fluently is impressive, any more than that and it just blows my mind.
If you grow up in a family where your dad speaks 2 different languages and your mum another one it just sticks to you like a gum and you don't really think it's something special. As a child I had to switch to 3 different languages depending on where I was and with whom I was communicating and I didn't really think it's something special. Then in school I had German and later English but to be honest I forgot most of the German as I hated it, then I started watching tv shows in English with Slovak or Czech subtitles and later switched to English subtitles and now I watch it without subtitles as I understand everything perfectly. It came to a point where I even dream and think in English. The more you are exposed to a language the more you learn, I have learned more from TV shows and movies than in school so maybe if you already know the basics try watching Spanish shows or movies, with English subtitles and it could really help you to improve your language skills.
As an Indonesian, we're fluent at at least 2 languages, either dialect language-indonesian or indonesian-english. But it's also common to be fluent in all of those three, and also additional foreign languages taught at high school (japanese, german, french, etc). As for me, I'm fluent in indonesian, english & sundanese. I also understand basic french, and a small sprinkle of javanese.
I think he basically has access to 3rd grade level conversational skills. I speak 4 languages but non of them fluently. My wife writes my grammatical errors to compile a humorous book.
This guy must have an amazing memory, I've been trying to learn Spanish for like 5 years and I can't remember what I learn. I'll get to the third lesson and forget what I learned in the first lesson.
It also might be because you don't practice it idk. That's the most important part of learning a language imo. That's why I'm most of the time in the anglo side of RUclips lol, so I can get used to hear English everyday.
yeah as mentioned, using the language is the most important thing when learning. I had french lessons for 9 years in school and at the end could barely introduce myself, then after 36 weeks in the military, having to somehow work with french speakers, i can now get by (its not pretty and not even close to being gramatically correct but people get what i am saying, even if i sound like an idiot). we basically started at a point where I understood a handful of words of french and them the same for german but by the end we could talk to each other no problem. pointing and showing at the start until some words just kinda passively come to you. and if you are using the language to get points across or work together , you dont really remember the translation, you more make an association between the word and what it represents. I suck hard at translating, i am much better off just forming a sentence in the target language. I can manage between german and english and back, because im fluent in both, so i can just take the message and relay that in the other language but in french its a lot harder for me.
Dont worry, is not about memory, learning a language is about internalizing it and well... Winging it you can confidently say that you know a language if you dont "know" the translation of a word but think "probably is like this" and being close to it. You can do it, keep up and try to join a spanish comunity/watch content creators or videos in spanish (with subtitles if you want) or one of the most efficient ones(if you play games) play games in that language.
As a Hungarian I'm sure I could win 99% of these kind of challanges if they ask me to speak a language. Literally no one speaks Hungarian other than us😂
This man is very impressive! He basically has a superpower! I think it would be so amazing to travel all over the world and be able to speak fluently with nearly everyone.
Y’all are ragging on him for making a few mistakes but you need to take into account how many languages he’s learning. It’s normal to make a few mistakes
Because there's no moldovan language is romanian which is a latin language so it's quite easy for them to learn any other latin language. As well as russian, as it's been part of the soviet union. Thry live in the netherlands so of course they know dutch and english. Nevertheless: It's impressing
I’d just start speaking simlish, say it’s an endangered language and watch as you lose your faith in humanity’s honesty and your own knowledge as I eat the sushi with an evil grin in my face. and then I’m rushed to the hospital bcs I’m allergic to fish.
I once surprised a Moldovan customer with my Romanian. Only a sentence or two as I was out of practice, but more than most Americans are expected to know.
I'm Brazilian and I can totally understand Romanian if they speak slowly. It is funny how a language so far away from Brazil is so similar. Romanian is more similar to Portuguese than Spanish. I expect I can go to Romania one day to surprise people with it.
bro this is crazy, your so good man, keep learning more languages to impress us! your arabic is surprisingly good for a foreigner btw, Its missing accent (which is how we recognize different nationalities in the middle east), but other than that, its very good and I was honestly expecting a guy to come up and say can you speak arabic, then he gets free sushi, but no, you bested that as well!. wow just wow, this is great man
I'm german and can say, that his german is very good. You hear the accent, but the choice of words and pronouciation was top. This sounds like someone who really talked to germans, very natural and only the accent gives it away.
Even though he wasn’t near perfect in all the languages, it’s super impressive nonetheless. I did notice (in the languages that I understood) that he sometimes used phrases or expressions that you wouldn’t use in that particular language (maybe he is translating phrases directly from one of his base languages?)
he's dutch like me, and I get what ur saying, to me it also sounds like he sometimes literally translates from dutch do other languages, but I kinda get why since he switches languages so fast it's almost impossible to change ur Grammer every time hahaha
Watching people's reactions is almost as interesting as hearing you cycle through different languages so quickly. Love your channel man! Hope you can visit Indonesia sometime soon and learn some Javanese and Sundanese so I don't get too much sushi from you if we ever meet ;-)

It’s crazy to me how I’ve seen these RUclipsrs who speak all these languages. 50 years ago they would’ve worked for the CIA or some government agency. Now they make RUclips videos. Gosh we are so blessed in 2021. You can do and be whatever you want.

I would love to be able to speak every language... I think it's so interesting... i can speak very little of multiple languages (nothing impressive, trust me), but i can't even fathom the amount of time and effort it would take to learn them all. so many of them sound so beautiful when spoken, too... I'd say English is the least interesting, but maybe that's because I'm so used to it lol... it's dull to me... I've never heard of anyone being impressed or loving to hear English (at least not the American dialect). I think the ones I enjoy hearing the most are Japanese, Arabic, and some African dialects (though most, if not all others (non-english languages) , sound so wonderful to me).
My main language is Spanish and I love hearing people speak English (when is not directly to me because I get nervous lol). I got a friend who really likes English too. I'd like to learn Japanese too, to watch anime without subtitles and say 'kawaii' things 😂❤️

The fact that Moldovan and Romanian were treated as 2 languages would probably also mean that the Serbian girl could feed her whole family if she said she also speaks Croatian, Montenegrin and Bosnian.

Haha the average Dutch person does most definitely *not* speak three or more languages unless you think knowing the words "oui" and "croissant" means you speak French.
Most Dutch people speak Dutch (obviously), broken English (but just good enough to be understandable), and a few words and phrases in one or two other languages.
This is not to shit on my fellow countrymen but let's please not overestimate ourselves 😅

4:40 The girl is right. According to Moldovan law there is no difference between Moldovan and Romanian, they are different ways of calling the same language. It is like saying that Castilian and Spanish are different languages.
I am curious why moldovan sounds so similar to german or dutch. I understood everything but I don’t speak moldovan or romanian.
I lived in Romania for 4 years, and when I moved back to the US I surprised a Moldovan customer with my limited Romanian as soon as I learned where he was from (literally only other country where the language is spoken). I don't get as much of a reaction when I speak French or Spanish maybe German, but the Romanian definitely throws people off.
@@olafschermann1592 It's a Latin-based language, so in some ways it sounds similar to Spanish or Italian. Maybe it's the accent or the pronunciation? I learned German too.
@@olafschermann1592 probably because of the accent being stronger. Romanian already has words from a lot of different languages but with a stronger accent its a lot more simillar to german, dutch. etc. Romanian has a different accent more simillar to Italian for example.
Romanian and Moldavian are basically same language. I am Romanian and I understand Moldavian perfectly.

I have the exact opposite issue, I grew up learning English and Spanish together, as I had one American parent and one Mexican, I was fortunately pretty much born bilingual. However, I have always wanted to learn French (I just love the culture and my father's side of the family is from there) but my school didn't offer it, so I'm learning it now as an adult. I'm fortunate that there's a lot of similarities between French and Spanish, not just cognate-wise but also just grammar-wise, so it doesn't feel like so much of a challenge as far as reading comprehension. Speaking French or listening to French are a completely different story lol, but I really want to learn! Good luck learning Spanish, I'm biased but I think it's such a pretty language. :)
What I love here is how people from so many cultures come together and have fun every day somewhere.
He could be a very multilingual interpreter for tourism. Besides being so talented, he is very friendly and approachable to all these people of different cultures. I love watching this!
why would he want to have a low paying job as a tourist guide, he could pretty much work for the Government to interpret government business and trade among other countries.

Knowing 2 or 3 languages fluently is impressive, any more than that and it just blows my mind.
If you grow up in a family where your dad speaks 2 different languages and your mum another one it just sticks to you like a gum and you don't really think it's something special. As a child I had to switch to 3 different languages depending on where I was and with whom I was communicating and I didn't really think it's something special. Then in school I had German and later English but to be honest I forgot most of the German as I hated it, then I started watching tv shows in English with Slovak or Czech subtitles and later switched to English subtitles and now I watch it without subtitles as I understand everything perfectly. It came to a point where I even dream and think in English. The more you are exposed to a language the more you learn, I have learned more from TV shows and movies than in school so maybe if you already know the basics try watching Spanish shows or movies, with English subtitles and it could really help you to improve your language skills.
As an Indonesian, we're fluent at at least 2 languages, either dialect language-indonesian or indonesian-english. But it's also common to be fluent in all of those three, and also additional foreign languages taught at high school (japanese, german, french, etc).

It also might be because you don't practice it idk. That's the most important part of learning a language imo.
That's why I'm most of the time in the anglo side of RUclips lol, so I can get used to hear English everyday.
yeah as mentioned, using the language is the most important thing when learning. I had french lessons for 9 years in school and at the end could barely introduce myself, then after 36 weeks in the military, having to somehow work with french speakers, i can now get by (its not pretty and not even close to being gramatically correct but people get what i am saying, even if i sound like an idiot). we basically started at a point where I understood a handful of words of french and them the same for german but by the end we could talk to each other no problem. pointing and showing at the start until some words just kinda passively come to you. and if you are using the language to get points across or work together , you dont really remember the translation, you more make an association between the word and what it represents. I suck hard at translating, i am much better off just forming a sentence in the target language. I can manage between german and english and back, because im fluent in both, so i can just take the message and relay that in the other language but in french its a lot harder for me.

Dont worry, is not about memory, learning a language is about internalizing it and well... Winging it you can confidently say that you know a language if you dont "know" the translation of a word but think "probably is like this" and being close to it.
You can do it, keep up and try to join a spanish comunity/watch content creators or videos in spanish (with subtitles if you want) or one of the most efficient ones(if you play games) play games in that language.
As a Hungarian I'm sure I could win 99% of these kind of challanges if they ask me to speak a language. Literally no one speaks Hungarian other than us😂
same with kurdish google translate only recently brought out my language kurdish sorani but its not that good because kurdish has lots of types
Estonian too. Freaky language group 👽
Bulgarian too
Same like polish
@Артём Войнов I think Polish
Know only people from Poland but hehe 21 000 000 Polish people are abroad maybe that's what you mean
This is absolutely incredible.
Full respect to editor for the translation, if I were the editor i would go :
*speak french
*speak chinese
.. Etc

5:44 And that's what I love the most about Wouter. He's so humble, and at the same time, so driven to be better.
Absolutely crazy. Mind boggling
This man is very impressive! He basically has a superpower! I think it would be so amazing to travel all over the world and be able to speak fluently with nearly everyone.
His Korean wasn’t that good but it was still impressive how he was able to speak and understand it.
Same with Spanish
Same with Italian
Agreed, I noticed a few mistakes here and there and the pronunciation didn't hit right. Was still nice to see him speak it, though.
Same with Russian
Y’all are ragging on him for making a few mistakes but you need to take into account how many languages he’s learning. It’s normal to make a few mistakes
Ok, but that mother/daughter duo spoke so many languages, like how!?
Moldovans speak Romanian and Russian. Add English, and there are 3 languages already.
@@starton4 ohhhh, interesting. So it's kinda like how I, as a Pakistani, learn Hindi by default because it's very similar to Urdu.
@@stanstantalent.5605 Well, kinda, but Romanian and Russian are totally different languages. One is Romance and the other is Slavic.
@@starton4 yes, but back in the days (sovietic Union) every Republic needed to be able to speak in Russian. It was the official language.
Because there's no moldovan language is romanian which is a latin language so it's quite easy for them to learn any other latin language. As well as russian, as it's been part of the soviet union. Thry live in the netherlands so of course they know dutch and english. Nevertheless: It's impressing
'Sorry for de lange outro.' Had me grinning. But yeah you are amazing dude!
I’d just start speaking simlish, say it’s an endangered language and watch as you lose your faith in humanity’s honesty and your own knowledge as I eat the sushi with an evil grin in my face.
and then I’m rushed to the hospital bcs I’m allergic to fish.
A God amongst mortals
Sul sul!
FOR HYDROGEN PLATINUM IS NEEDED.sell gold buy platinum.price is low now.....
He really needs to come across a polyglot Indian!! They would give him a run for his money!! 😝😂
My thoughts exactly!!
I was thinking the same thing! Haha
Lmao that's what I was thinking
Was thinking same😅😂
I was just thinking about that
The mom with a red hat and her daughter could start their own polygot channel. They can speak so many languages too!
Molvovian and romanian are the exact same language, they're different ACCENTS. Its like saying Australian is a different language than english.
@@rickify_ They spoke other languages though...?
@@MDkilgore those were OTHET languages. But the guy making the video is completely wrong about moldovian and romanian
My mom is Moldovian and this gave me inspiration to finally learn it lol
Oh man, i wanted so bad that he would encounter someone speaking portuguese. Awesome video regardless, keep the good work man, cheers .
I would honestly be really surprised if he didn't understand portuguese
@@vepply yeah, he already speaks spanish, italian and french so going from that to portuguese isn't such a big of a leap
I wanted to him to encounter an African person. 1000% he can’t speak it 🤣
Portuguese from brazil, right?
Eu também estava à espera mas é pena que não tenha aparecido ninguém
I once surprised a Moldovan customer with my Romanian. Only a sentence or two as I was out of practice, but more than most Americans are expected to know.
I only know a few phrases in Romanian, but apparently I pronouce them flawlessly. Made my Romanian co-worker "feel like at home" lol.
Romanian and Moldavian are the same language.
I'm Brazilian and I can totally understand Romanian if they speak slowly. It is funny how a language so far away from Brazil is so similar.
Romanian is more similar to Portuguese than Spanish. I expect I can go to Romania one day to surprise people with it.
Moldavian language doesn't exist. It's romanian with a specific accent and some regionalisms.
The ''moldavian language'' was invented by Russians, it was basically Romanian with cyrillic writing.
bro this is crazy, your so good man, keep learning more languages to impress us! your arabic is surprisingly good for a foreigner btw, Its missing accent (which is how we recognize different nationalities in the middle east), but other than that, its very good and I was honestly expecting a guy to come up and say can you speak arabic, then he gets free sushi, but no, you bested that as well!. wow just wow, this is great man
I'm german and can say, that his german is very good. You hear the accent, but the choice of words and pronouciation was top. This sounds like someone who really talked to germans, very natural and only the accent gives it away.
Ja ja gut gut
Even though he wasn’t near perfect in all the languages, it’s super impressive nonetheless. I did notice (in the languages that I understood) that he sometimes used phrases or expressions that you wouldn’t use in that particular language (maybe he is translating phrases directly from one of his base languages?)
he's dutch like me, and I get what ur saying, to me it also sounds like he sometimes literally translates from dutch do other languages, but I kinda get why since he switches languages so fast it's almost impossible to change ur Grammer every time hahaha
Better than Google
Watching people's reactions is almost as interesting as hearing you cycle through different languages so quickly. Love your channel man! Hope you can visit Indonesia sometime soon and learn some Javanese and Sundanese so I don't get too much sushi from you if we ever meet ;-)
Your language skills are pretty impressive, I really wish I had the dedication to learn a third language, its cool. I was just disappointed that my mother language wasn’t featured in this video, I wanted to listen to your Portuguese 😅
Im from Greece and i can say you speak Greek very very well! And your accent is excellent. (In Greek) Είμαι απο Ελλάδα και μπορώ να πω οτι μιλάς πολύ καλά ελληνικά! Και η προφορά σου είναι εξαιρετική.
Learning different languages is one of my true passions in life. It's fantastic to see a stranger's face light up when you can converse in their native language.
Whats your method to learn in the best/ most effective way? I would love to know :)
This is so lovely! A brilliant mind, eager to connect, making people happy, letting them feel seen and/or feeding them delicious food!! What an awesome human!
It’s crazy to me how I’ve seen these RUclipsrs who speak all these languages.
50 years ago they would’ve worked for the CIA or some government agency. Now they make RUclips videos. Gosh we are so blessed in 2021. You can do and be whatever you want.
I am glad girl with Serbian language got free sushi :) You must learn Serbian then you can branch to Croatian and Bosnian so its 3 languages that use a lot of similar words. Great video my dude. Pozdrav iz Srbije
Fantasy nerds that know Sindarin, Dothraki, High Valyrian, and the Old Tongue:
My time has now come.
I was just thinking that my first attempt for a ticket would be with Sindarin lolll
The guy at the end had a point. If you had given me the name of your channel like that I would never have found it. Have simple cards ready to pass them around. Just a piece of paper, nothing fancy. Just my two cents, I admire your talent!
Beste Grüße aus Deutschland! 😉
I love how you basicaly got scammed, cause there is no thing such as moldavian, it is literary romanian. Anyway, loved the video and i am purerly amaze at how many languages you know. ❤️🇷🇴
Yea lol
Can I ask your question why Romania and Moldova separate if they are same ethnic group
@@rahuladesilva7686 Search on Wikipedia. It's a lot of history there.
@@rahuladesilva7686 I'll give you a brief description, you can look it up after. Wallachia and Moldova buffer states between hungary and the ottomans. 1600 Mihai Viteazul, first person to Unite all romanian people. 1812 Russia vs Ottoman war. 1918, romania getting the lands with romanian majority. 1936 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, soviet union annexed bessarabia again. You can look into all of these events and understand why the same ethnic people don't live in the same country
"moldovian" is basically romanian spoken with russian accent
Crazy! We need Ed Bassmaster as mumbles to see if he also can communicate with mumbles lol
I would love to be able to speak every language... I think it's so interesting... i can speak very little of multiple languages (nothing impressive, trust me), but i can't even fathom the amount of time and effort it would take to learn them all. so many of them sound so beautiful when spoken, too...
I'd say English is the least interesting, but maybe that's because I'm so used to it lol... it's dull to me... I've never heard of anyone being impressed or loving to hear English (at least not the American dialect).
I think the ones I enjoy hearing the most are Japanese, Arabic, and some African dialects (though most, if not all others (non-english languages) , sound so wonderful to me).
I speak Portuguese and English is interesting to me, it sounds really smooth!
My main language is Spanish and I love hearing people speak English (when is not directly to me because I get nervous lol). I got a friend who really likes English too.
I'd like to learn Japanese too, to watch anime without subtitles and say 'kawaii' things 😂❤️
that's cool to hear :)
i guess it is because I'm so used to it
@@a.wadderphiltyr1559 hmm... thanks for that.
