Arima I speak a bit more than 4, but it didn't sound natural, but rather learnt by heart in Taiwanese, Cantonese and Japanese - doesn't sound like he actually speaks. Serbian, English, Russian, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin are ok. I don't think anyone needs more than 6-7 languages.
Wow, just wow. I am speechless. So if you cannot do it, then no one can, right? If you don't make sense of it, then no one else should be able to? I learned Italian over 20 years ago and I use it almost NEVER - but I get out of my way to listen to a program in Italian, or watch a movie once in a blue moon ... and guess what? I can still understand it. Certainly, speaking it is not as fluent as if I was immersed in it but ... I am now studying 8 languages (I currently only know 3) and I have no issue adding more info to my brain. And no, I am not a "fluff head" - nobody can say that I have nothing else to occupy my brain with. ;) Perhaps you should try some nootropics. It sounds to me like your brain is not being optimized appropriately. Best wishes.
MeL I am proud to be able to speak Chinese but he can almost talk like a native, and that's the one of 19 languages he can speak. That's why I feel like a loser
He never speaks my language he knows every European language except mine like I hate people like that so much they just annoy me so much I've heard for only two people to speak and the first didn't demonstrate the second one was just speaking serbian and claiming it was bulgarian
Persian here: Wow, I'm really impressed with your Farsi. You had a few pronunciations difficulties, but for someone who hasn't practiced a lot and hasn't even been to Iran, it was very astonishing. Honestly, I think the major issue non-native speakers have with Farsi is the informal (casual) and formal differences. The textbook formula and whatever is taught in classes is primarily in formal Farsi. The informal Farsi is used in day-to-day conversations and seems more fluent and smooth than formal. You , for example, used many informal phrases which are common but then used the formal pronunciation of a word. All in all, I'm not sure if others have the same feeling, but I feel very happy and proud to know that someone (who is not in the Middle-East) is willing to learn Farsi. It might not seem easy at first, but It has a whole culture behind it and certainly doesn't disappoint. Thank you for making my day!!
I'm Chinese. Didn't read the description so didn't expect would have Chinese. The moment he switched to Chinese I was honestly like wtf!! And that's honestly SO GOOD.
This is insane, how can you keep all these different languages well separated inside your head and not mix them up while speaking? You have an amazing talent, keep it up! By the way, your italian pronunciation is impressive!
@@sokidanz I was introduced to Laoshu last year, was not expecting to know anyone else and this guy does pretty well, if not better. Laoshu knows some regional Chinese languages so touche to him.
Hello and thank you for all your comments. I wanted to answer some of the more frequent questions: Q: What is your job? A: I work as an interpreter of English, Slovak and Mandarin Chinese. Q: What was the most difficult language you've ever studied? A: Mandarin Chinese. Q: How old are you? A: I was 32 in the video, I'm 35 now. Q: Which language do you like most? A: Difficult to say, because if I didn't like the languages I speak, I would've never learned them, so I like every language I have studied for this or that reason but if I had to pick a favorite it would be: Hungarian, Russian, Cantonese and Persian. Q: Which language do you dream in/think in? A: I don't even know. Probably those that I use most often: Slovak, English, Mandarin.
Q: When did you start learning foreign languages?/How long did it take you to learn all the languages you speak? A: I don't think there was a starting moment in my life. I grew up with 2-3 native languages and spoke 5 at an almost native level by the time I was 13 and just continued learning languages here and there as I grew up. As for how long it took me, it took me my entire life. Q: Could you give me some tips to learn language XYZ? A: Sure. I have a blog where I wrote probably everything I think about language learning (www.foreverastudent.com). Feel free to check it out. I could write here too but I would only be repeating myself. Q: What is your secret? A: There is no secret, only passion, lots of time spent on practice, good conditions and a bit of talent. Q: Where are you from? A: I was born and lived most of my life in Slovakia.
Q: You made a mistake in the French part. It shouldn't be 'ce video' it should be 'cette video'. A: Thank you, I'll remember. Q: You made a mistake in the Serbian part. It should't be 'kuči' but 'kući'. A: Thank you. I realized it the moment I said it. Q: The Spanish part was too short. A: I know. I'll make a video where I speak only Spanish next time. Q: You didn't learn Greek! You should be ashamed of yourself. A: I got about 50 similar comments. I have no intelligent answer for this. People help me out:) Q: Why didn't you learn Arabic? Armenian? Hindi? Indonesian? European Portuguese? Greek?... I'm dissapointed. A: I never had a good reason or interest. Q: Were you ever interested in learning Scandinavian languages? A: Originally no, because I never had a chance or good reasons to learn them, plus it's too cold for me up there, but recently I read a book by Stieg Larsson and got a bit interested, so maybe I will.
Q: You don't speak Portuguese, you speak Brazillian. Why did you learn that ugly Brazillian Portuguese and not the real Portuguese from Portugal? A: I must've gotten about 100 comments like this and worse. I honestly don't understand why all the hate against Brazillian Portuguese from Portugal. I just felt silly writing 'Brazillian' instead of 'Portuguese' especially since as far as I know the official language of Brazil is called Portuguese, not Brazillian. It's like saying I speak 'American' instead of 'English'. But, lesson learned, next time I will proudly say I learned 'Brazillian Portuguese'. I learned Brazillian Portuguese because: I love its sound, wonderful Brazillian smiling people, the country, the music, the nature and because I'd like to live there one day..
Amazing! I'm from 🇺🇸. I'm bilingual. I speak Italian and English fluently, Because my fathers parent are from Italy and spoke Italian to us. I'm currently learning Hungarian, it's SOOO DIFFICULT! This is just ASTONISHING!!! RESPECT BRUDDAH!!!
@@GratDuForloradeArgumentet Yes, there is. When the Hungarians were still in Asia, they were mixing a lot with the Turks, so their language also evolved similarly. Then fast forward to the 1500s, the Ottomans conquered Hungary for 150 years, that also left a huge impact on the Hungarian language.
Neko.Daisuki I can speak Serbian,because it's my native language,and I can speak English or German,but very bad,so I would say that you know more than me😀☺😉
Ich kann nur Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch und Italienisch, wobei ich Letzteres das letzte Mal vor ca. 4 Jahren in der Schule gesprochen hab. Also werden meine Italienischkenntnisse schon langsam nachlassen
You completely shocked me when you started speaking Serbian. I was like "crap this is perfect!" Your accent was great as well, which I think is the hardest part of learning various languages. 👍 Congrats.

Wow! I am German and I must say that your German is just PERFECT! In Germany you would easily be mistaken for a German with that pronunciation! You are unbelievable!
I am Taiwanese and your Chinese is really in amazing Taiwan accent. I am also surprised that your Taiwanese !! Hope one day I can speak so many languages like you. I can speak 4 languages now and that are Chinese中文, Taiwanese臺語, English and Thai ภาษาไทย.
Very nice English .. not that bad French .. good Italian .. nice Spanish ..and so on.. But most above all..accents...which are the hardest part of a foreign language.. and you did it almost perfectly ... Anyway .. you’re the real true proof how far a human brain can go .. « Impressive » is the word.
+toaritok I agree with you 👍 my native language is English and I know French. Now I'm learning Spanish and Arabic. Speaking is the most important part in language learning.
Gezz. Even the ones he didn't speak 'well' were o.o His Asian accents were amazing and sounded really good. I bet he would be able to learn Korean VERY easy, as it's one of the simplest Asian languages, especially if he can speak MANDARIN like THAT!
This dude speaks the best italian I've ever heard from a foreigner in terms of pronunciation, truly inspiring (ironically I'm gonna move to the same city as he lived in in a few weeks)
Wow, I was actually pretty impressed by your Polish, because even though I could hear you're not a native speaker, the accent was actually really, really good and your grammar was perfect, which is really uncommon for non-natives.
Miért csak most látom ezt a videót? Ez valami zseniális! Le a kalappal előtted! :) Örülök, hogy magyarul is beszélsz, mert azért elég sok magyarnak is nehezen megy ez a nyelv. :D Nagyon szép a kiejtésed, de tényleg! Nem semmi!
It depends I'm portuguese and his portuguese is very good but his pronounciation is very close to the brazilian one

I'm Brazilian, yeah it's definitely Brazilian accent, and I can say his vowels are on point; pretty impressive! No other foreigner I've heard before could make nasal vowels without sounding either a little off, or as if they're putting too much effort.
Thanks for brilliant video! I speak Japanese (as my native language), English, German and a little French. Being able to speak more than two languages is not so common in my country, but seeing you speak as many as 19 languages surprised me a lot! I’m really interested in polyglot and I wish I could speak more like you 👍
The secret to learn a language quickly and perfectly : really want to speak it from the bottom of your heart. I ve learned 18 years of dutch being forced by school and I cans speak way better spanish that I learnes 2 month by myself before to travel to latin america, because I wanted to speak it decently
Yeeeah I totally agree, I've been learning German for 6 years and I can barely remember any words. I've started lerning Spanish now because of tv series and I caught myself that in my head are sentences that I didn't even try to remember😉
Sally Michaels i also learn german in school for about six years and oh god, i hate it. i learned russian on duolingo for about month and i feel a lot more comfortable talking in russian than in german.
One has to be a musician and comedian and a monkey in his heart, so that one is not afraid to imitate the sound, melody and cadence of a foreign language or dialect. Interestingly, young children can learn a foreign language quickly and perfectly, but for some adults it is a problem for the rest of their lives. I do not have such a talent for languages, but I admire those who do.
I am dutch but my english is way better than my Dutch. Only because of yt vids and I do tto that means every lesson in school in English and not in dutch
@@harukatakahiro4690 É a mesma coisa que perguntar porque a maioria das pessoas estudam o inglês americano ao invés do inglês britânico, kkk é simplesmente por causa da visibilidade e quantidade de pessoas do país.
Florencia Edgina I live in England and grew up only speaking English. I wish I learned more as a kid but now im learning japanese and Spanish. I wish I could speak as many as some people but I can't remember that much
Russians are. I'm not a Russian, but am aware they struggle with English. 99,9% (imho) movies they watch are dubbed in Russian. I see a lot of comments in rutracker[.]org (largest torrent tracker) where they say about movies, tutorials, learning lessons etc.: too shame its not in Russian etc. I understand - they are proud of their language, BUT lazy in language learning. Of course it does not apply to many young people. Even many Russian people who lives here in Latvia for generations, can't put together a simple conversation in Latvian. I speak Russian from 1st grade. Fluent from 5th grade. (now 31 years old). Who disagrees with me is a hypocrite (i mean Russians, whether they are from Russia or Latvia). Вот так вот {Russian}.
Stefan Scarlet: "I was expecting greek language how could you ignore greek language, a bit dissapointed :( good job tho" You know, the video is about two years old and there were about a thousand comments beneath it like yours, but I'll try to answer again. A lot of people asked: Why didn't you learn Greek? Why didn't you learn Arabic? Why didn't you learn Hindi? Why didn't you learn Korean? Why didn't you learn any African language? Why didn't you learn any Malay? Why didn't you learn any Swedish? Why didn't you learn any Albanian? Why didn't you learn any Turkish? One person even called me a Turkish hater, because I don't speak Turkish.. I don't understand these questions, really. I would never ask anyone with an irritated tone: Why didn't you learn any Slovak (my native language)? I think everyone is entitled to learn what they want and I would definitely not be upset if someone wouldn't learn my native language. It's like a football player getting mad at everyone and asking why they don't play football. A lot of Greeks were even insulted that I didn't learn their language too..how can this be? I understand that Ancient Greek is an important language, but so is Sanskrit, Latin or Classical Arabic and I didn't learn those either. I didn't do it intentionally. I just never had the chance, opportunity or time to learn Greek or any of these languages. It actually feels really strange explaining something logical like this. My life evolved in a completely different way. I lived most of my life in Slovakia, two years in the USA, 5 years in Taiwan, 2 years in the Czech republic, most of the languages I learned I had to learn for work, school or for very practical reasons or because of some really strong attachment to the language. Why would I learn Greek? There was nothing disrespectful in my question. I honestly don't know why I should spend another 2-3 years of my life intensively studying Greek when: I don't live in Greece, I have no Greek friends (again, it's nothing intentional, it's just how my life evolved), I don't have plans to live in Greece, I don't work for a Greek company, I am not interested in Greek literature (again, nothing disrespectful), not interested in Greek history, am not particularly interested in understanding the roots of words like "epidermal, encephalon, telephone, chronometer.." and similar words in other European languages and so on. I wrote a similar response about Arabic and some people really got seriously insulted. I wasn't questioning the importance of Arabic at all.. of course it is an important language..I was just trying to explain that it's natural that you don't learn something. It's like me getting mad at you for not being a doctor, or something similar. And... even if Greek was the most important language in the world.. I still think everyone is at their own liberty to decide whether they would like to learn it or not. If Slovak was the most important language in history, I would never get mad, or feel insulted if someone decided not to learn it.
Vladimir Skultety yes you're absolutely right, I wish one day I will know more languages but I don't have much time for practice now, I only speak 3 languages really well (Ukrainian, Russian and English), and I'm learning 3 other languages (French, German and Czech). All I can say it would be very easy to you to learn Ukrainian, if you have ever been interested in it, i personally admitted that both Ukrainian and Russian helped me in learning Czech, but Ukrainian is a bit more similar to it. Also Hungarian and Slovak are popular to learn in a Zakarpattia region of Ukraine, especially near the border. P.S. For me the easiest language is Belarusian, I've never learned it and still can understand 95% of it.
My EX YU friend,listen,why are you even bothering about those comments,you speak 19 languages which is impressive enough.Maybe i would feel a little disapointed if you didnt speak serbian but i know that all that dedication and hard work needs to be respected,so just BUDI OPUSTEN I VELIKI POZDRAV IZ SRBIJE!
Vladimir, what you are is really something greater than a talent!!! I am shocked, especially with how fast you talk! You are something else, RESPECT is the least i can say
I am a deep lover of language..and appreciate it very much...ASL, French, Russian, Spanish, German, etc...the languages I have been familiar with..thanks for liking my comment, and keep up the good work!
Vladimir Skultety Been doing this program called pro Spanish...you kind of learn intuitively...and through building sentences...so you are speaking right away...and not learning useless verbiage.
Dutch should have been the 2nd language right after the introduction in English because Dutch and English are the prettiest and most refined languages ever with the most pretty and poetic words, and the most superior languages must always be first! By the way, one cannot technically forget a language if one has seen and heard the words enough times for them to become part of the permanent memory and automatic memory, so one should keep revising the words, until all words can be automatically remembered - I learned Spanish in childhood and I didn’t forget it, and I’m still learning new words, since I started learning languages on my own, about 8 months ago! Hungarian, German and also the Latin languages (Portuguese / Italian / French / Spanish) are also pretty, and I am advanced level in Dutch (over 8.000 base words) and native speaker level in Spanish (I learned it in childhood by watching a lot of movies and TV Series in Spanish, so I learned it 100% passively, without even trying) and, now I’m learning over 50 languages, including all Germanic languages and the 6 Celtic languages and Hungarian and Slovene and the pretty Estonian words and Latin languages etc! I am intermediate level in Norwegian / German / Swedish and Portuguese (anywhere from 3.000 to 3.800 words, maybe more, and I can actually understand over 95% of the words I see in Portuguese because I know Spanish) and beginner level in Welsh / Icelandic / Breton / Frisian / Hungarian / Faroese / Occitan / Gallo / Aranese / French / Burgundian / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic / Italian / Galician / Catalan / Danish / Cornish / Luxembourgish / Guernsey / Limburgish / Norn / Gothic / Old Norse / Old English / Old Dutch / Vandałic / Slovenian / Afrikaans (by Frisian, I meant all three Frisian languages, namely West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian, and I am also learning all languages based on these languages that are referred to as dialects, but they are in fact different languages, especially the Italian-based languages and the German-based languages and the West-Vlaamse Dutch-based languages and the French-based language that’s spoken in Wallonia / Belgium and Yolo and the Scots Doric language etc) and the other pretty languages that are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, which is extremely overwhelming! However, some of those languages are not a pretty language, so I don’t understand why would someone learn them - I highly recommend the prettiest languages, such as Dutch / Norwegian / Icelandic / Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Gallo / Venetian / Galician and all other pretty languages that I listed above, which are so gorgeous, with almost only pretty and very pretty words, so they are too pretty not to know, and pretty languages are easy to learn, as one tends to remember the prettier and more distinctive words faster!
Some of the prettiest Welsh words are - derwen / nest / afon / talar / adeilad / helygen / afal / hyd / lolfa / enaid / bedwen / neithiwr / ynys / nos / sydd / noswaith / ers / mynd / rhosyn / eistedd / gwych / tân / fawr / telyn or delyn / ynddyn / llaw or dwylo / doeth / fewn or mewn / gwar / bys / ffynnon / swrn / tew / blin / mynydd / braich etc, and Welsh reminds of Dutch (Dutch / English / Norwegian are the prettiest and most refined languages ever with the most pretty words) because they have a similar intonation / vibe and they both have the CH sound and many of the words have similar types of letter combinations!
Slovak and Slovene probably have many similar words - I’ve been learning Slovenian and a lot of Hungarian over the past few days, and I found some similarities in pronunciation and words with the same root! Hungarian isn’t as hard as ppl think - it’s a category 3 language like Irish and Scots Gaelic, and the pronunciation is very easy, and most Hungarian words are pretty, so they are easy to remember and learn, and the verbs are easy to get used to, so only the spelling is a bit harder, but it isn’t that hard, it’s like the spelling of many French words with different accents! I haven’t seen or heard many words in Czech and Serbian before, but they’re probably a bit similar to Slovene! However, the language before Dutch is one of the most non-pretty languages I’ve ever heard, it has very non-pretty word endings and it sounds so uncouth with mostly embarrassingly funny words, I don’t understand why would someone learn such languages, that aren’t pretty, instead of learning gorgeous languages like Dutch and Icelandic etc, and, the tonal languages are also very non-pretty, especially in pronunciation, because tonal languages are so annoying, and Vietnamese words aren’t usually pretty, even in their written form, and most Japanese words are also non-pretty with too many KOKO and TASHI and NAKA sounds and too many repetitions of the same syllable which is a sign of pöōr word construction that doesn’t follow logical patterns like Germanic languages! When it comes to languages learning, one should definitely choose wisely, based on how many pretty words the language has, not on how many native speakers or learners it has etc - there are some very pretty languages that aren’t that known, like the three Frisian languages and Limburgish and Faroese and the older languages like Old Norse / Gothic / Norn and the 6 Celtic languages etc that should definitely be included in languages related videos, instead of the non-pretty languages!
Holy shit, your German accent is perfect! :o To be honest, If I hadn't known that you're from Slovakia, I couldn't have distinguished you from a native speaker.
I’m impressed by your perfect Mandarin. You nailed the Taiwanese accent! (By that i mean the way Taiwanese speak Mandarin) And I cant even speak Taiwanese as a Taiwanese, but you actually made it. WOW
I knew right away he learned Chinese in Taiwan because of his pronunciation and vocabulary! But then he also lived there for 5 years so that explains his fluency to a certain degree. (Mandarin is my 3rd language)
TONS OF CONGRATS FOR HOW WELL YOU'VE WORKED ON YOUR PRONUNCIATION MAN! Another polyglot here, so I can understand how good your pronunciation is in a few of your languages. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!
You are amaising. I don't understand why people point out yours "slight" errors in pronunciation or accent. They should appreciate that you speak in their language. Personally, I am very impressed. All the best for you.
Just such slight errors in pronunciation or accent or vocabulary prove how are his skills good. In some languages he makes minor mistakes than a majority of native speakers of that language. Nobody is completely perfect even in his own native language.
I'm italian and you speak a perfect italian. I never heard any foreigners speak so good, this is my first time. Seriously, you could nail the accent perfectly. Wooh, I'm impressed!
I am a Chinese who speaks Italian and Spanish, this dude's Italian and Spanish are almost native, moreover, in spite of the strong Taiwanese accent, he is one of the best foreign Mandarin speakers I have ever seen in my life, seriously... For me, any foreign people that can communicate in my language earn a lot of my respect because I know how hard it is to learn, and to this dude... Geez what can I say.....you killed it bro, this is sick!! Good job!
just what's wrong with the Taiwanese accent...cause the way you mention it makes me feel like you don't see it as Mandarin, but if that's not what you meant then sorry about this comment dude. Anyway, agreed with you that +Vladimir Skultety does speak Mandarin well, respect !!
No ha hablado tanto en español como para poder valorar su fluidez. El español es uno de los idiomas más difíciles de aprender, y poca gente he visto que lo hable mucho. No es una crítica, solo deseo que siga mejorando con el español, y le envío muchos ánimos. 😃
Karnak07 ¿De dónde sacaste esta tontería? Una de las más difíciles? Más que Mandarin, Japones, Escocés, Árabe, Hebreo, Hindi? Hay muchas otras lenguajes mucho más difíciles que las lenguas Romanicas (Romance)
You did a great job. My compliments to you. I also have a knack for languages, but growing up in the States, had only English until I went to high school, where I started French. When I got to university, I majored in French, minored in Italian, and took Spanish and Russian, as well as a semester of German. I went to work for Pan American World Airways (aka Pan Am) as a steward in 1979 and got to travel the world. I learned Brazilian Portuguese, which is much more musical and sensual than Continental Portuguese. I love its slang and bossa nova, jazz, & MPB. I also learned airplane Japanese, and had so much fun with passengers from Japan. I later lived in Hawai’i and studied Hawaiian language-a totally different language family. Learning languages is always worth it. Keep up the great work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I am from Spain and I have never studied portuguese or italian, but I have understood everything what he said. Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are very very very similar
I am Portuguese. I understand spanish very well, understand some italian. But can't understand a bit of Romanian :/ (but I'm traveling there next month!)
Respect man, respect. Of all the people that I've seen speaking over 10 languages in such a video, you have the best overall pronunciation of the languages that I understand (6 of them). And also a few others that I can recognize by the sound of the language, sound really good. I think you are exceptionally good at capturing and rendering the sound of a language!
**I know it was almost 5 yrs ago....** When I saw it in my Recomended on RUclips, I was like "No way! 19 languages?!" And after this vid I was really shocked that You can actually talk in thoes languages really good. Congrats man😶🤯😳 I know Polish coz I'm Polish, English which is quite easy for me and German a bit.

I'm Polish and I think he sounds pretty good, because he speaks fluently, doesn't make grammar or vocabulary mistakes and knows a lot of words, but he said that his Polish friend helped him with preparing the text for this video ;) When it comes to an accent, you can clearly see that he's not Polish, but as I said he sounds very good and it's not a problem at all to understand him :)
I can tell your German and Dutch are perfect, as your English, bravo! I'm a German and Spanish native speaker and a French teacher, and the 2 latter languages are so irregular in some aspects that almost every non native speaker I know make similar little mistakes in them, but you remain completely intelligible. Then amazing how you can switch from one language to another, as also how many languages you can handle so well, wow.
Ape from the low lands. This has nothing to do with the country in which he was born but the way he was raised. I’m French, and I don’t know anyone that can speak fluently more than 2-3 languages
This is madness! All the languages he spoke that I understand are spot on! Not like some other dudes on RUclips who claim to be polyglot but only know some sentences.

Wow, just wow. I am speechless. So if you cannot do it, then no one can, right? If you don't make sense of it, then no one else should be able to?
I learned Italian over 20 years ago and I use it almost NEVER - but I get out of my way to listen to a program in Italian, or watch a movie once in a blue moon ... and guess what? I can still understand it. Certainly, speaking it is not as fluent as if I was immersed in it but ... I am now studying 8 languages (I currently only know 3) and I have no issue adding more info to my brain.

The textbook formula and whatever is taught in classes is primarily in formal Farsi. The informal Farsi is used in day-to-day conversations and seems more fluent and smooth than formal. You , for example, used many informal phrases which are common but then used the formal pronunciation of a word.
All in all, I'm not sure if others have the same feeling, but I feel very happy and proud to know that someone (who is not in the Middle-East) is willing to learn Farsi. It might not seem easy at first, but It has a whole culture behind it and certainly doesn't disappoint.
Thank you for making my day!!
The Mandarin was exceptional. I'm Chinese. He spoke just as good as me. Help.
Thank you very much :)

Your German is really impressive. You could pass as a native speaker

I'm Chinese. Didn't read the description so didn't expect would have Chinese. The moment he switched to Chinese I was honestly like wtf!! And that's honestly SO GOOD.
I'm really impressed, I thought your French was going to be a lot worse. The accent wasn't so bad and there were almost no mistakes. Félicitations!
It wasn’t bad. I’d say about a B1-B2 level.
This is insane, how can you keep all these different languages well separated inside your head and not mix them up while speaking? You have an amazing talent, keep it up! By the way, your italian pronunciation is impressive!
Thank you. It's not easy for me either:)
Hey! How are you? Check Laoshu out .
As far as Italian and Japanese he is way better than Laoshu

Hello and thank you for all your comments. I wanted to answer some of the more frequent questions:
Q: What is your job?
A: I work as an interpreter of English, Slovak and Mandarin Chinese.
Q: What was the most difficult language you've ever studied?
A: Mandarin Chinese.
Q: How old are you?
A: I was 32 in the video, I'm 35 now.
Q: Which language do you like most?
A: Difficult to say, because if I didn't like the languages I speak, I would've never learned them, so I like every language I have studied for this or that reason but if I had to pick a favorite it would be: Hungarian, Russian, Cantonese and Persian.
Q: Which language do you dream in/think in?
A: I don't even know. Probably those that I use most often: Slovak, English, Mandarin.
Q: When did you start learning foreign languages?/How long did it take you to learn all the languages you speak?
A: I don't think there was a starting moment in my life. I grew up with 2-3 native languages and spoke 5 at an almost native level by the time I was 13 and just continued learning languages here and there as I grew up. As for how long it took me, it took me my entire life.
Q: Could you give me some tips to learn language XYZ?
A: Sure. I have a blog where I wrote probably everything I think about language learning (www.foreverastudent.com). Feel free to check it out. I could write here too but I would only be repeating myself.
Q: What is your secret?
A: There is no secret, only passion, lots of time spent on practice, good conditions and a bit of talent.
Q: Where are you from?
A: I was born and lived most of my life in Slovakia.
Q: You made a mistake in the French part. It shouldn't be 'ce video' it should be 'cette video'.
A: Thank you, I'll remember.
Q: You made a mistake in the Serbian part. It should't be 'kuči' but 'kući'.
A: Thank you. I realized it the moment I said it.
Q: The Spanish part was too short.
A: I know. I'll make a video where I speak only Spanish next time.
Q: You didn't learn Greek! You should be ashamed of yourself.
A: I got about 50 similar comments. I have no intelligent answer for this. People help me out:)
Q: Why didn't you learn Arabic? Armenian? Hindi? Indonesian? European Portuguese? Greek?... I'm dissapointed.
A: I never had a good reason or interest.
Q: Were you ever interested in learning Scandinavian languages?
A: Originally no, because I never had a chance or good reasons to learn them, plus it's too cold for me up there, but recently I read a book by Stieg Larsson and got a bit interested, so maybe I will.
Q: You don't speak Portuguese, you speak Brazillian. Why did you learn that ugly Brazillian Portuguese and not the real Portuguese from Portugal?
A: I must've gotten about 100 comments like this and worse. I honestly don't understand why all the hate against Brazillian Portuguese from Portugal. I just felt silly writing 'Brazillian' instead of 'Portuguese' especially since as far as I know the official language of Brazil is called Portuguese, not Brazillian. It's like saying I speak 'American' instead of 'English'. But, lesson learned, next time I will proudly say I learned 'Brazillian Portuguese'. I learned Brazillian Portuguese because: I love its sound, wonderful Brazillian smiling people, the country, the music, the nature and because I'd like to live there one day..
Q: Great Chinese but you speak with a Taiwanese accent.
A: I lived in Taiwan for 5 years. I don't know how to speak in any other way.

@@bazsamester Hungarian sounds like turkish to me. Is there any connection?
@@GratDuForloradeArgumentet Yes, there is. When the Hungarians were still in Asia, they were mixing a lot with the Turks, so their language also evolved similarly. Then fast forward to the 1500s, the Ottomans conquered Hungary for 150 years, that also left a huge impact on the Hungarian language.
@@bazsamester Ah that's too bad.

Your italian accent was wonderful. Said by an Italian.

maybe his grammar is not flawless in the languages, but his pronounciations are very good in every sinlge one of them
That makes me think that maybe he didn't read this from a script and perhaps really ad libbed it. That would be impressive indeed.
It depends I'm portuguese and his portuguese is very good but his pronounciation is very close to the brazilian one
I'm Brazilian, yeah it's definitely Brazilian accent, and I can say his vowels are on point; pretty impressive! No other foreigner I've heard before could make nasal vowels without sounding either a little off, or as if they're putting too much effort.

I speak Japanese (as my native language), English, German and a little French. Being able to speak more than two languages is not so common in my country, but seeing you speak as many as 19 languages surprised me a lot! I’m really interested in polyglot and I wish I could speak more like you 👍
The secret to learn a language quickly and perfectly : really want to speak it from the bottom of your heart. I ve learned 18 years of dutch being forced by school and I cans speak way better spanish that I learnes 2 month by myself before to travel to latin america, because I wanted to speak it decently
Yeeeah I totally agree, I've been learning German for 6 years and I can barely remember any words. I've started lerning Spanish now because of tv series and I caught myself that in my head are sentences that I didn't even try to remember😉
Sally Michaels i also learn german in school for about six years and oh god, i hate it. i learned russian on duolingo for about month and i feel a lot more comfortable talking in russian than in german.
One has to be a musician and comedian and a monkey in his heart, so that one is not afraid to imitate the sound, melody and cadence of a foreign language or dialect. Interestingly, young children can learn a foreign language quickly and perfectly, but for some adults it is a problem for the rest of their lives. I do not have such a talent for languages, but I admire those who do.
I am dutch but my english is way better than my Dutch. Only because of yt vids and I do tto that means every lesson in school in English and not in dutch
You are from Wallonie or where did you have been forced to learn Dutch?

Utter Otter How old are you?
Sam Mxd 14
Utter Otter You are still young you can learn many languages 🤓
Russians are. I'm not a Russian, but am aware they struggle with English. 99,9% (imho) movies they watch are dubbed in Russian. I see a lot of comments in rutracker[.]org (largest torrent tracker) where they say about movies, tutorials, learning lessons etc.: too shame its not in Russian etc. I understand - they are proud of their language, BUT lazy in language learning. Of course it does not apply to many young people. Even many Russian people who lives here in Latvia for generations, can't put together a simple conversation in Latvian. I speak Russian from 1st grade. Fluent from 5th grade. (now 31 years old). Who disagrees with me is a hypocrite (i mean Russians, whether they are from Russia or Latvia). Вот так вот {Russian}.
Stefan Scarlet: "I was expecting greek language how could you ignore greek language, a bit dissapointed :( good job tho"
You know, the video is about two years old and there were about a thousand comments beneath it like yours, but I'll try to answer again. A lot of people asked: Why didn't you learn Greek? Why didn't you learn Arabic? Why didn't you learn Hindi? Why didn't you learn Korean? Why didn't you learn any African language? Why didn't you learn any Malay? Why didn't you learn any Swedish? Why didn't you learn any Albanian? Why didn't you learn any Turkish? One person even called me a Turkish hater, because I don't speak Turkish..
I don't understand these questions, really. I would never ask anyone with an irritated tone: Why didn't you learn any Slovak (my native language)? I think everyone is entitled to learn what they want and I would definitely not be upset if someone wouldn't learn my native language. It's like a football player getting mad at everyone and asking why they don't play football. A lot of Greeks were even insulted that I didn't learn their language too..how can this be? I understand that Ancient Greek is an important language, but so is Sanskrit, Latin or Classical Arabic and I didn't learn those either. I didn't do it intentionally. I just never had the chance, opportunity or time to learn Greek or any of these languages. It actually feels really strange explaining something logical like this. My life evolved in a completely different way. I lived most of my life in Slovakia, two years in the USA, 5 years in Taiwan, 2 years in the Czech republic, most of the languages I learned I had to learn for work, school or for very practical reasons or because of some really strong attachment to the language. Why would I learn Greek? There was nothing disrespectful in my question. I honestly don't know why I should spend another 2-3 years of my life intensively studying Greek when: I don't live in Greece, I have no Greek friends (again, it's nothing intentional, it's just how my life evolved), I don't have plans to live in Greece, I don't work for a Greek company, I am not interested in Greek literature (again, nothing disrespectful), not interested in Greek history, am not particularly interested in understanding the roots of words like "epidermal, encephalon, telephone, chronometer.." and similar words in other European languages and so on. I wrote a similar response about Arabic and some people really got seriously insulted. I wasn't questioning the importance of Arabic at all.. of course it is an important language..I was just trying to explain that it's natural that you don't learn something. It's like me getting mad at you for not being a doctor, or something similar. And... even if Greek was the most important language in the world.. I still think everyone is at their own liberty to decide whether they would like to learn it or not. If Slovak was the most important language in history, I would never get mad, or feel insulted if someone decided not to learn it.
If you are still not speaking Serbian well you can learn it with me if you want
Vladimir Skultety yes you're absolutely right, I wish one day I will know more languages but I don't have much time for practice now, I only speak 3 languages really well (Ukrainian, Russian and English), and I'm learning 3 other languages (French, German and Czech). All I can say it would be very easy to you to learn Ukrainian, if you have ever been interested in it, i personally admitted that both Ukrainian and Russian helped me in learning Czech, but Ukrainian is a bit more similar to it. Also Hungarian and Slovak are popular to learn in a Zakarpattia region of Ukraine, especially near the border.
P.S. For me the easiest language is Belarusian, I've never learned it and still can understand 95% of it.

Dutch should have been the 2nd language right after the introduction in English because Dutch and English are the prettiest and most refined languages ever with the most pretty and poetic words, and the most superior languages must always be first! By the way, one cannot technically forget a language if one has seen and heard the words enough times for them to become part of the permanent memory and automatic memory, so one should keep revising the words, until all words can be automatically remembered - I learned Spanish in childhood and I didn’t forget it, and I’m still learning new words, since I started learning languages on my own, about 8 months ago! Hungarian, German and also the Latin languages (Portuguese / Italian / French / Spanish) are also pretty, and I am advanced level in Dutch (over 8.000 base words) and native speaker level in Spanish (I learned it in childhood by watching a lot of movies and TV Series in Spanish, so I learned it 100% passively, without even trying) and, now I’m learning over 50 languages, including all Germanic languages and the 6 Celtic languages and Hungarian and Slovene and the pretty Estonian words and Latin languages etc! I am intermediate level in Norwegian / German / Swedish and Portuguese (anywhere from 3.000 to 3.800 words, maybe more, and I can actually understand over 95% of the words I see in Portuguese because I know Spanish) and beginner level in Welsh / Icelandic / Breton / Frisian / Hungarian / Faroese / Occitan / Gallo / Aranese / French / Burgundian / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic / Italian / Galician / Catalan / Danish / Cornish / Luxembourgish / Guernsey / Limburgish / Norn / Gothic / Old Norse / Old English / Old Dutch / Vandałic / Slovenian / Afrikaans (by Frisian, I meant all three Frisian languages, namely West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian, and I am also learning all languages based on these languages that are referred to as dialects, but they are in fact different languages, especially the Italian-based languages and the German-based languages and the West-Vlaamse Dutch-based languages and the French-based language that’s spoken in Wallonia / Belgium and Yolo and the Scots Doric language etc) and the other pretty languages that are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, which is extremely overwhelming! However, some of those languages are not a pretty language, so I don’t understand why would someone learn them - I highly recommend the prettiest languages, such as Dutch / Norwegian / Icelandic / Welsh / Breton / Cornish / Gallo / Venetian / Galician and all other pretty languages that I listed above, which are so gorgeous, with almost only pretty and very pretty words, so they are too pretty not to know, and pretty languages are easy to learn, as one tends to remember the prettier and more distinctive words faster!
Dutch words are just too pretty not to know, and 83 of the prettiest words in Dutch are - ver, vlinder, verloren, feest, adem, vaste, veel, verdween, heel, het, heen, voorbij, vandaan, verven, domein, verwaald, drijfzand, lief, leegte, liefde, heerst, einde, zonder, weet, avond, vult, gekomen, centrum, moment, pad, loop, overheerst, vallen, twijfel, vinden, kelde, wald, ter, geweest, vrees, grenzen, verleg, rein, van, stellen, wilde, steeds, verstreken, evenbeeld, bleef, steile, vrede, stem, wens, net, tijd, stille, verwenst, zalig, ochtend, zilverreiger, weer, overwint, heerlijk, zin, hart, beweert, vanaf, kwijt, wolken, mes, verliezen, dwaling, verlaten, rede, trek, tuinhek, brand, verdien, blikje, vertellen, verder, vertrek...
Some of the prettiest Welsh words are - derwen / nest / afon / talar / adeilad / helygen / afal / hyd / lolfa / enaid / bedwen / neithiwr / ynys / nos / sydd / noswaith / ers / mynd / rhosyn / eistedd / gwych / tân / fawr / telyn or delyn / ynddyn / llaw or dwylo / doeth / fewn or mewn / gwar / bys / ffynnon / swrn / tew / blin / mynydd / braich etc, and Welsh reminds of Dutch (Dutch / English / Norwegian are the prettiest and most refined languages ever with the most pretty words) because they have a similar intonation / vibe and they both have the CH sound and many of the words have similar types of letter combinations!
Slovak and Slovene probably have many similar words - I’ve been learning Slovenian and a lot of Hungarian over the past few days, and I found some similarities in pronunciation and words with the same root! Hungarian isn’t as hard as ppl think - it’s a category 3 language like Irish and Scots Gaelic, and the pronunciation is very easy, and most Hungarian words are pretty, so they are easy to remember and learn, and the verbs are easy to get used to, so only the spelling is a bit harder, but it isn’t that hard, it’s like the spelling of many French words with different accents! I haven’t seen or heard many words in Czech and Serbian before, but they’re probably a bit similar to Slovene! However, the language before Dutch is one of the most non-pretty languages I’ve ever heard, it has very non-pretty word endings and it sounds so uncouth with mostly embarrassingly funny words, I don’t understand why would someone learn such languages, that aren’t pretty, instead of learning gorgeous languages like Dutch and Icelandic etc, and, the tonal languages are also very non-pretty, especially in pronunciation, because tonal languages are so annoying, and Vietnamese words aren’t usually pretty, even in their written form, and most Japanese words are also non-pretty with too many KOKO and TASHI and NAKA sounds and too many repetitions of the same syllable which is a sign of pöōr word construction that doesn’t follow logical patterns like Germanic languages! When it comes to languages learning, one should definitely choose wisely, based on how many pretty words the language has, not on how many native speakers or learners it has etc - there are some very pretty languages that aren’t that known, like the three Frisian languages and Limburgish and Faroese and the older languages like Old Norse / Gothic / Norn and the 6 Celtic languages etc that should definitely be included in languages related videos, instead of the non-pretty languages!

+Roman Scuka Thats the point
+Peter Jacguier my mother language is hungarian and he speaks it perfectly!
Ele é tão sincero e ele fala Português tão bem, que incrível isso, meus parabéns!!!
goddamn you know russian incredibly well, I'd even affirm without accent, though it's the hardest one I guess. Nothing but Respect
I am brazilian and I'm able to say that your portuguese is much better than the most brazilians.
Congratulations!
He speaks better than Dilma.
+Melk Porto hahaahha
acertô mizeravi
Ele fala Português de Portugal. O Português dele é perfeito, mas tem uma pronúncia um pouco ruim, principalmente na parte do "R".
é claramente do brasil
Du sprichst sehr gut deutsch 😍
Danke sehr :)
Vladimir Skultety ottimo italiano complimenti
crazygirl 8 hab ich auch gedacht :)
CASH FORCE me too man
CASH FORCE i don't say how to speak english with a whatelse person
Умница. Талант. И, конечно, трудяга.
TONS OF CONGRATS FOR HOW WELL YOU'VE WORKED ON YOUR PRONUNCIATION MAN!
Another polyglot here, so I can understand how good your pronunciation is in a few of your languages.
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO!!!
You are amaising. I don't understand why people point out yours "slight" errors in pronunciation or accent. They should appreciate that you speak in their language. Personally, I am very impressed. All the best for you.
fidrygalka amazing***
They are haters
Just such slight errors in pronunciation or accent or vocabulary prove how are his skills good. In some languages he makes minor mistakes than a majority of native speakers of that language. Nobody is completely perfect even in his own native language.
and I was proud of speaking 4 languages😂
me too xD
Joakim Hersche
me too
Hahahahahahaa
i was do proud with 4 languages😣
MR. MERCEDES Yeah I see your english is great
I can speak 7 :)
Your Italian, Farsi and Portuguese are amazing, I don't speak the other languages, but these three are outstandig!
I'm italian and you speak a perfect italian. I never heard any foreigners speak so good, this is my first time. Seriously, you could nail the accent perfectly. Wooh, I'm impressed!
I am a Chinese who speaks Italian and Spanish, this dude's Italian and Spanish are almost native, moreover, in spite of the strong Taiwanese accent, he is one of the best foreign Mandarin speakers I have ever seen in my life, seriously... For me, any foreign people that can communicate in my language earn a lot of my respect because I know how hard it is to learn, and to this dude... Geez what can I say.....you killed it bro, this is sick!! Good job!
Thank you.
just what's wrong with the Taiwanese accent...cause the way you mention it makes me feel like you don't see it as Mandarin, but if that's not what you meant then sorry about this comment dude. Anyway, agreed with you that +Vladimir Skultety does speak Mandarin well, respect !!
No ha hablado tanto en español como para poder valorar su fluidez. El español es uno de los idiomas más difíciles de aprender, y poca gente he visto que lo hable mucho. No es una crítica, solo deseo que siga mejorando con el español, y le envío muchos ánimos. 😃
Karnak07 ¿De dónde sacaste esta tontería? Una de las más difíciles? Más que Mandarin, Japones, Escocés, Árabe, Hebreo, Hindi? Hay muchas otras lenguajes mucho más difíciles que las lenguas Romanicas (Romance)
Vladimir Skultety I'm Italian, and I can assure you that your Italian accent is almost perfect, typical of the area where you lived. Very well done!!!
I'm Serbian and your Farsi is awesome
You did a great job. My compliments to you. I also have a knack for languages, but growing up in the States, had only English until I went to high school, where I started French. When I got to university, I majored in French, minored in Italian, and took Spanish and Russian, as well as a semester of German. I went to work for Pan American World Airways (aka Pan Am) as a steward in 1979 and got to travel the world. I learned Brazilian Portuguese, which is much more musical and sensual than Continental Portuguese. I love its slang and bossa nova, jazz, & MPB. I also learned airplane Japanese, and had so much fun with passengers from Japan. I later lived in Hawai’i and studied Hawaiian language-a totally different language family.
Learning languages is always worth it.
Keep up the great work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Bravo majstore, svaka ti čast! 👏👏👏 Ustao sam i aplaudiram.
I am from Spain and I have never studied portuguese or italian, but I have understood everything what he said. Spanish, Portuguese and Italian are very very very similar
What about Romanian.
Nope. I know that Romanian also comes from Latin but I couldn't understand it :/
I am Portuguese. I understand spanish very well, understand some italian. But can't understand a bit of Romanian :/ (but I'm traveling there next month!)
Eu acho que é mais facil para os falantes de português entender espanhol que enteder português se você fala espanhol.
Spanish is the most beautiful language in the world.
Saludos desde Serbia
Respect man, respect. Of all the people that I've seen speaking over 10 languages in such a video, you have the best overall pronunciation of the languages that I understand (6 of them). And also a few others that I can recognize by the sound of the language, sound really good.
I think you are exceptionally good at capturing and rendering the sound of a language!
Thank you very much.
I can speak german, english, russian, chechen and I'm learning spanish. I'm 13 lmao
@@iamhava4058 i can speak portuguese, english, spanish.
I agree...absolutely fab video!
**I know it was almost 5 yrs ago....**
When I saw it in my Recomended on RUclips, I was like "No way! 19 languages?!" And after this vid I was really shocked that You can actually talk in thoes languages really good.
Congrats man😶🤯😳
I know Polish coz I'm Polish, English which is quite easy for me and German a bit.
PS. Twój Polski jest wspaniały/ Your Polish is awesome!
Hi! Can you tell please,
does he have a strong accent in pronunciation?
@@nowak3452 In Polish? Of course! His Polish is soo good and sometimes people who are in Poland for a long time can't say the words as good as he can, incredible! I know that he say he doesn't know lots of words but his accent is really amazing!
I'm Polish and I think he sounds pretty good, because he speaks fluently, doesn't make grammar or vocabulary mistakes and knows a lot of words, but he said that his Polish friend helped him with preparing the text for this video ;) When it comes to an accent, you can clearly see that he's not Polish, but as I said he sounds very good and it's not a problem at all to understand him :)
@@mirapuppylund1068 Ooo Polska cześć hahah
*which
I can tell your German and Dutch are perfect, as your English, bravo! I'm a German and Spanish native speaker and a French teacher, and the 2 latter languages are so irregular in some aspects that almost every non native speaker I know make similar little mistakes in them, but you remain completely intelligible. Then amazing how you can switch from one language to another, as also how many languages you can handle so well, wow.
OMG! Amazing!!!... How does your brain switch over so quickly!?
Jennifer Thorpe I was wondering the same
You must be from the US.
Ape from the low lands. This has nothing to do with the country in which he was born but the way he was raised. I’m French, and I don’t know anyone that can speak fluently more than 2-3 languages
It does not take much effort to switch between languages.
Ape was talking to, and about, Jennifer ;D
Mówisz pięknie po polsku! Aż miło się skucha i cudownie wiedzieć, że ludzie też uczą się języka polskiego! Pozdrowienia z Gdańska 😁
Dziekuje bardzo :)
Your Portuguese is almost perfect🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
i actually found it hard to understand D: the subtitles helped me understand what he said : ) (am portuguese)
Omg I'm Italian and you speak perfectly 😍
WHY YOUR ITALIAN IS SO GOOD ARE YOU MAD
:)
Vladimir Skultety
T'as un bon accent français
Je suis de Lyon, dans le Sud-Est de la France
This is madness! All the languages he spoke that I understand are spot on! Not like some other dudes on RUclips who claim to be polyglot but only know some sentences.
Azta, ez a srác jobban beszél magyarul, mint a legtöbb ember itt Magyarországon..
Ja. Akcentusa is csak egy kicsit van.
