The biggest obstacle to North Americans learning languages is the English language. Too many people think there's no point in learning other languages. I look forward to seeing how many languages you learn, Will. Thanks for the discussion.
This is pretty clear when you see them in a foreign country. They are in general the last to learn the local language compared to those from another countries. 🤣 The same here in China.
Yo crecí hablando tres idiomas. Mi primera idioma era inglés, y también aprendí francés porque mi abuela materna era francesa y también aprendí español en las preservadoras de pescado en Alaska cuando era chamaquito. Y también tengo herencia española de Andalucía, Extremadura, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha y Galicia.
@@moibogperyn3567 как для иностранца он использует очень даже неплохие речевые обороты, которые редко когда услышишь от людей которые на русском говорили не с детства. Плюс он сам сказал что с 60 лет его начал учить, для такого срока это огромный результат
@@zhmyh6599 всё это не означает что он знает язык хорошо. Молодец ли он? Безусловно. Нет такого понятия как для иностранца. Ты либо умеешь либо нет. Это не уважение к нему в первую очередь. Это как " Неплохо для женщины"
I got the impression he wasn't really listening to / comprehending Steve to a certain degree, so he thought Steve had wanted to end the Russian part of the conversation when he said "enough", lol (I'm also Russian)
Произношение на русском весьма достойное! И как правильно говорил Стив Кауфман, его русский вполне понятен и без полного соблюдения грамматики, потому что в русском языке на мой взгляд в отличие от английского, грамматика больше придает красоты звучания языку, чем смысловой нагрузки, ибо можно даже толком ее не зная, говорить одними инфинитивами и все равно даже в самой глухой сибирской деревушке люди вас поймут.
Это всё от того что в русском языке нет чёткой последовательности слов в предложении. И формулировать свои мысли наверное проще,но и наверное не у носителя от этого путаница возникает в голове. Плюс у русского очень хорошее слово образование, можно даже коверкать слова, и они будут понятны, либо же вообще придумывать новые на ходу)
@@ФедорПавлишин-й6ф Ну а почему нет? чтоб быть полиглотом достаточно знать несколько языков, и свободно уметь на них общаться. Не обязательно их знать как родные, и в во всех аспектах. Конечно чем ты больше знаешь тем ты ценнее как профессионал, но даже и профессионалы ведь с чего то тоже начинают)
My mother is Swiss and my father was Italian. He had worked a couple of years in Germany before meeting her and he could speak German. When I was a kid my father didn't want my mother to speak Swiss German to me, so we always spoke in Italian. Then when I was 18 we moved to German-speaking Switzerland and I was forced to learn a language that was almost unknown to me. Also, my father made me choose French instead of English at school only because we had relatives living in French-speaking Switzerland. I'm glad I learned French, but even then it was clear that English was a more useful language. Eventually, I learned English on my own by watching movies and TV series and reading websites in English. I still resent my father for not raising me bilingual.
Why didn't he want you know Swiss German? Swiss German is hard to learn because everywhere people just teach high German, but not Swiss. Anyway, German is probably one of the most useful languages to know in Europe. Im now living in Switzerland and have to learn German.. its an impossible task for me because I don't actually like it. I wish I just somehow knew it as a child. If parents can, they should ALWAYS teach languages to their children even if they don't think that they will need it... because one never knows and because each language teaches us something else and extra.
@@MissSladousek My dad thought that I should learn Hochdeutsch, but my mother and most Swiss people are not used to it, and since we didn't plan to move when I was a kid, we just spoke Italian.
@@alexandrorocca7142 ah I see, shame that they didn't "settle" with Swiss German because I actually think its much nicer sounding than high German. But now you know different languages and I'm sure you will make better decisions with them.
Größten Respekt vor dieser Leistung. Dein Deutsch ist wirklich super 👌. May you have major success with your channel. I really like to watch your videos, you always seem so gentle and genuine.
Изучение русского языка, чтение и прослушивание великих писателей русской литературы и многое другое, знакомство с русскими людьми было важным событием в моей жизни. Русский открыл дверь чешскому, украинскому и польскому. Нынешние события не только печальны и трагичны, трагичны для Украины, но и трагичны для тех россиян, которые видят и понимают, что происходит. Я надеюсь, что их число увеличится, и в ближайшее время. Их судьба не должна быть связана с их нынешним правительством.
@@Thelinguist J'espere que je pourrais vivre ma jeunesse comme vous l'avez fait, voyager a travers l'europe, parler aux gens. Mais mon gouvernement a brise mes reves, coupe les ponts avec mes amis europeens...
@@Thelinguist адекватные русские благодарят вас. нас десятки миллионов и мы всё понимаем и желаем Украине добра. Да, в РФ много глубинного народа, они живут в ужасных условиях и их словарный запас 150 слов. они Зомби или плебс, как угодно, это действительная огромная часть населения, не имеющая отношение к русской культуре, языку и тд, это просто используемая русофобским интернаци государством популяция, им всё равно, они делают что скажут и мне тяжело винить людей, среда РФ и постоянная ненависть, на самом деле в РФ страшно жить нормальным людям, почти все мои друзья уехали.
His Italian was pretty good, just like he said, a few mess ups with Spanish. For example, he pronounced perfezione like perfection. He also had some weird things were he would just say the past participle, but no helping verb, but considering Italian is probably low on his list, it’s still impressive
I cracked up when Steve said "Alguien me coge en el coche" because in much of Latin America (with the exception of Colombia and maybe some other countries) it has a meaning other than "Someone picks me up in the car." The language I'm studying now is Norwegian. Years ago I read a book by Barry Farber called "How To Learn Any Language" (1991 edition) and in it he mentioned that one should learn Norwegian first because Swedes and Danes have a hard time understanding each other in their native languages but Norwegians can deal equally well with Swedes and Danes in their native language. I had a Norwegian pen-pal for 10 years and while she taught me some of her language, her English was perfect. Now I'm using Assimil (through French; I had a French pen-pal for 10 years also), Duolingo and Netflix. I'd also like to learn Polish and Romanian, but one language at a time. Still, both say "pa" for "bye" whereas Russian uses "пока" instead.
The guest was having a fluent conversation and flowing through languages, I thought I was decent flowing through English and French but this guy is something else. His French accent is super cool sounds like the old Quebec accent.
What strikes me with both of them (compared to some of the other polyglot videos) is how good their pronunciation is (however, I can only judge German, English, French and Spanish).
I'm very impressed by his level in French. He caught many typical expressions that are generally only used by native speakers (like "J'ai envie de te dire", "je dois dire"...). Of course his accent doesn't sound native but that's not the most important thing. I completely agree about what he said in the Spanish part, the most important thing is to be able to have a good passive vocabulary and to be able to make you understand when you speak the language. In my case for example I don't speak Spanish but I understand it very well (thanks to my knowledge in Italian and French) and some additional vocabulary I naturally learnt, at a point I didn't need to read the subtitles. One day I met a Spanish guy who needed an information but the only language he was able to speak was Spanish. I managed to help him with a mix of French and Italian.
yeah I was thinking the same as Steve, your pronounciation in all of these languages is really impressive. Great conversation, though I wouldn't have minded it being much longer
Nice! As a german i can tell you, that both of you are doing a lot of mistakes in both pronounciation and from a grammatical standpoint, but i can definitely understand everything that you are trying to say. Still really good for seven languages
Echt , so lustig du sagst gleich " you are both ""doing""" a lot of mistakes " .... lol , oh the irony ..lol... Back to English school for you mein freund !! hahahaha...
Great content, Remi you are a gem in the polyglot community... Great personality and such a natural talent... One comment though on the subtitles: "... eller om jag har lärt det en gång till" you may want to fix the subtitles here, Steve says here "I don't know if it has come back or if I (re-)learned it one more time/again" referring to his childhood exposure to Swedish.
Steve is friggin incredible! - Its not just that he speak a lot of langauges - there are people who speak, Italian, French, English - its that he speaks a lot of languages AND THE MOST DIFFICULT ONES - which are all different - Japanese, Chinese and Russian, are three of the four most difficult languages to speak for an English speaker. The man is incredible.
John brate. Svaka čast. Would love to meet you. Pozz iz ZGa :) I love when you start speaking Italian it comes naturally to start moving hands, shoulders. It comes naturally only by looking at them every summer :D I'm trying to learn Italian....really should push myself more.
Сколько полиглотов смотрел до этого. Почти все сыпались именно на русском языке. Еле выговаривали слова, и постоянно запинались. А тут прям свободный говор, вот это впечатляет.
Это очень круто, я впечатлён. Я знаю английский и немного испанский, думал что больше трёх языков выучить не получится, но после данного видео мой мир никогда не будет прежним.
Wow, ich bin beeindruckt! Ich spreche leider "nur" Deutsch (Muttersprache), Englisch, einigermaßen gutes Schwedisch un ein bisschen Finnisch. Ich habe euer Schwedisch ganz gut verstanden. In der Schule habe ich Latein gelernt, konnte also ein bisschen Italiensich und Spanisch verstehen, Französisch aber weniger, weil die Aussprache einfach so anders ist. Von Russisch - und slavischen Sprachen allgemein - habe ich leider überhaupt keine Ahnung. Hättet ihr noch Finnisch geredet, wäre ich vom Stuhl gefallen :D Ich lerne es selbst gerade und weiß, dass es komplett anders ist, als die Sprachen, "die man halt so kennt", obwohl Finnland in Europa liegt. Aaaaaaanyway, it was fun listening and it is very impressive how you two switched the languages immediately, very nice! :D
Respect and well done gents. I love languages. My mother tongue is Spanish but i also speak Italian, German, Hungarian (lived and was married to Hungarian) and now learning Lithuanian (married to Lithuanian).
Mexican - American here, grew up in the States and lost most of my Spanish, but got back on it almost a year and a half ago. I'm in B2 of 🇲🇽 Spanish and learning 🇵🇭 Tagalog (Filipino) and say that I'm in C1.
As a french, i can tell u that the "Old guy" speak perfectly french. He's really impressive ! For the other guy, french is ok but lot of grammatical mistakes. But..i understand all of what he said !
KC for liiiife. I dont understand any of the languages except English, and Swahili(which you dont speak, but I incourage you should learn) I enjoyed your conversation. Keep it up bro. One love from Shawnee, KC.
Never seen foreigners that could speak clear and right russian language. And this video is not an exception. But they spoke better than others who pretends to know russian.
This two guys could work in UN and they will translate mainly the conversations amid different countries! Except China and countries which speak in portuguese
You wanna hear something crazy? It’s built into the human mind to actually completely change personalities when they speak another language, they’re actually changing personalities in this too
Tu español es increíble quiero tu acento :D Le français est tellement dur à apprendre et l'accent c'est une autre histoire. J'ai beaucoup de respect pour les gens qui se lancent dans l'apprentissage de ma langue natale ! Bravo You mentioned you play in Croatia? do you speak Croatian yet ? Which city do you live in? I moved to Hrvatska too a few years back, beautiful country isn't it =) Yet to learn the language though x)
Muchas Gracias Compa! Where did you move to in Croatia!? Check out the newest video on the channel to see all the crazy Croatian speaking. I love the language but wow ya for an English speaker it's all over the place haha. Still worth the effort 🙌
The black guy is impressive with the italian, he really spoke well, he was very fluid (probably the most impressive thing), and pretty often pronounced words perfectly, like people do in italy. The other guy was good, but not perfect, as he already said, he forgot quite a lot of it, and was mixing a lot of spanish in it. I still understood him well, but i could tell he forgot some things In spanish the black guy was good, but not as perfect as with the italian, and from time to time he sounded like an italian trying to speak spanish, so i believe he learnt italian before spanish. Still, it was good, i could understand him perfectly, he just misses a few small details, but nothing to worry about. The white guy was freaking amazing in spanish, his pronunciation was really good, he also had a little bit of an south american way to pronounce things, perhaps he worked in the islands, or with some south americans. You both could be threw from a plane in a random place and be able to communicate with the others, amazing
Siete due grandi con una capacità di apprendimento non comune.... E avete imparato tutte lingue difficilissime come le lingue neolatine e il russo. Chapeu 👒
amo anch'io parlare in italiano! c'e qualcosa della linqua che ha senso pure se mia lingua madre e inglese (americano). e come cantare mentre le altre lingue sono come borbotare 🤣auguri per la tua avventura linguistica!!
You have got a lot of Europe down, are you going to try, or do you know any of the Asian languages? It would be great to see you connect to the far east
bon francais les gars bravo je ne parlerai pas des autres langues mais pour le français je suis époustouflé que des polyglottes ait autant de maitrise ne changez rien continué a regardé des serial (en francais on appelle ca des series télé ou series tv ou plus généralement simplement séries ) je me sens tout petit avec seulement mon fancais et mon anglais maintenant :)
Very impressive! Believe me there are some russians who speak less wordy, cursing all the time yet they consider themselves as a part of Dostoevsky culture.
Well since both parties butchered Swedish which quite literally have a way easier vocab than pronunciation.. so I must say Swedish is the most beautiful out of these languages. And despite me being Swedish, my Swedish is way better than theirs but it's not top notch, after all it may be native to me, but it's not what I speak natively. I have a Scandinavian dialect that isn't Swedish, Danish or Norwegian, and it is probably one of the most difficult ones to understand for everyone involved, well except for Trøndersk in Norway and South Jutlandic in Denmark. I speak Göingska, or in dialect Jynge. Which is not the prettiest dialect in Scandinavia.
Italian is good but the foreign accent (expecially in the older) is veeery strong. By the way they translated mix in italian "una mescola", 05:05 this word doesn't exist. It's "un misto", correct.
