@@timomastosalo exactly this. I act very different when I am speaking english as opposed to when I am speaking spanish... I just didn't know someone could manage to know those mannerisms for 5 fucking languages.
@@kaneda7368 It's a simultaneous process to learn the mannerisms and the language. And once you've done it for one, the process for next one comes more naturally. And he learned German & French as a kid, maybe at lest heard many others growing in cosmopolitan Monaco & moto circles. I think he learned the others also quite young, at least it started in his childhood. I suspect at least Italian came pretty early. Someone said his Spanish is OK, so maybe not as good as Italian, nor of course French & German. And English he likely learned at school, and with German car technicians - he has a German accent there :)
@@moistjohn Doesn't really have to be fake: if you have heard them speak their own language (of how they speak English with a broad accent), you can just try to do your best to imitate that
Actually he pays so much attention for everything to be perfect and good that you will see him getting upset every time something looks out of order or unprofessional. Watch his Greentech festival video and you will notice what I mean when anything goes wrong.
non diciamo di stronzate, a parte accenti e cadenze naturali è un italiano molto migliore persino di quello di moltissimi italiani madrelingua che conosco
Notice how he's reflecting every culture when he speak their language When speaking Spanish he's chilling outside leaning on a wall on a sunny day When he's speaking Italian he's using hands as he talk When speaking german he's in a professional studio with a serious tone
When someone says "he's fluent" in other languages it usually means that he knows those languages very well, but here it's impressive that the accent too is very accurate! Especially when he speaks french, but when speaking Italian too (his italian is better than Leclerc's).
@@jbcaycay8035 Il ne fait pas les liaisons. "C'est un moment" on prononce le "T". Même chose avec "un bon élan" on prononce le "N". Pour aller plus loin si tu veux, il emploie le verbe avoir à l'infinitif lorsqu"il devrait utiliser le participe présent "ayant" (ayant gagné la dernière course) donc oui c'est poussée comme analyse mais ce sont ces détails que tout natif francophone maîtrise sans nécessairement s'en rendre compte
none of this is true. German is not his mother tongue. he was born in Germany but actually lived there for two weeks then he was brought up in monaco where his family has always lived and he was raised there. he went apparently to a private English school where everything is taught in English like if you were in an English speaking country and obviously french as he was in monaco, so we have English and French as mother tongues, his mother is German, his dad speaks German so he learned German since a young age having a German speaking family. then he moved to Italy at the age of 10 and he stayed there for 5-6 years and learned Italian which he speaks perfectly, I'm Italian and I can say that he sounds Italian, and later on in the years he learned Spanish. I'd say then, English, French mother tongues, German and Italian perfect, Spanish very good or okay as you say.
His German is absolutely flawless as well and sounds exactly like a native speaker. Well, he is a native speaker. He doesn't really have a mother tongue.
@@Thomas_Bergel actually i have a friend who had the opportunitiy to speak with rosberg in the paddock ... he speaks perfectly , but he has to hide this because he choose to be german (because of money) and he has to hide this fact from his sponsors.....so easy
At the 2016 season he spoke the language of 11 of the 21 countries they raced in. -Australia -Spain -Monaco -Canada -Austria -Great Britain -Germany -Belgium -Italy -USA -Mexico Thats impressive
@@verzajr.2027 credo che facesse riferimento a come alcune lettere sono pronunciate allo stesso modo in tedesco ed italiano (ovviamente sono 2 lingue diverse) per esempio la "A" in tedesco e italiano é pronunciata allo stesso modo mentre in inglese é piú simile al suono della "E" italiana
@@muratsarsenov2008 Nah I’m Finnish lol. En kyllä millään usko että Nico pystyisi puhumaan suomea yhtä hyvin kuin minä, vaikka arvostankin hänen urheilusuorituksia todella paljon.
@@pigalow2002 no i'm sure he was that fluent in french english and german at 5 year old. Then it was easy for him to learn italian and spanish since it's pretty much the same as french and monaco is at the border with Italy so you hear italian everyday and can practice.
@@frederic6998 um...no. if it were that flippantly simple, more people would know 5 languages. They don't. & yeah, I know the romance languages are similar, but they aren't like learning the same language(s).
There is one thing. When u speek two roman languages fluently, you can learn the others so quick. When u speek French and Italian, so u can easily learn Romanian, Spanish and Portuguese.
I speak those 5 languages as well, and I have to say that except in spanish the rest of them he speaks them just perfectly and he really sounds like a native speaker in each one. When he pronounce some words in spanish he has a tone that if you hear it you would say that he's a foreigner, but is not a big deal he's is very fluent as well in his own way. Amazing
@@asianboyyy117 i guess 4 languages is the sweet spot, anything above 5 languages just gets hard to maintain on long terms and you might lose more and more interest in the ones you speak / use the least
His English sounds a bit like that of Peter Philips, the Belgian creative director of Dior. It is very good and pronounced very clearly, but I definitely notice a French and even a bit of a German accent in there. It does not sound anything like British English or even American English.
TBH, as a Spaniard, I don't see any significant german accent when speaking spanish , only a few grammar/vocabulary details . In any case, impressive how he speaks and acts according to those languages.
Guys, for the last time, his mother is German, he was born in Germany and Nico was raised and grew up in Monaco since 4 months old. His father is Finnish, but he's never been in touch with Finnish society and education during his childhood and schooldays. The other point is that Finnish (also Hungarian) is not an Indo-European language, it's an agglutinative language, lexicon, grammar and syntax are hard to learn, and that's not really what matters. He received influence from many cultures, and Finnish ends up being the least important language to learn in terms of media. Why the heck some people insist he speaks Finnish without even reading the comments or doing a quick research. Everyday there's someone making sure, not even asking, but sure he really speaks Finnish. Again, he can't speak Finnish at all.
Dude led the championship for 16 out of the 20 races that year. But yeah "he just got lucky." Quite obvious that Hamilton couldn't take it because he was never used to being outperformed in that way, so he just blamed reliability and all his fanboys followed. Very well deserved championship. All champions "do what they have to do" and everybody has luck all the time.
People say he got lucky because Lewis won more races than Nico did in 2016. So Lewis' DNFs and misfortune was a massive factor in how Nico was able to luck into winning that year. It's no surprise he quit after that. He knew that was his one and only shot.
@Arminius Rosberg is faster than Bottas but saying someone is faster than Bottas doesn't mean they they could win a world championship! And what I said about Rosberg winning less races than Hamilton in 2016 isn't nonsense; it's a fact. Hamilton won more races in 2016, but also had an unusual number of DNFs. Without Hamilton's 6 or so DNFs, Rosberg wouldn't have won the championship. Hamilton was unlucky to get the DNFs, right? So if we accept that Lewis was unlucky the we must accept that Rosberg benefitted from that bad luck and was therefore lucky to win the championship!
@John 3 Nico was outscored by over 70 points in 2014 by Lewis. Lewis won more than twice the number of races compared to Nico. Lewis finished less races than Nico and still won the championship. But yeah, you're right, Nico should have been mopping floors as punishment for how badly he was beaten by Hamilton.
You can say it might be easy to learn diff languages when you're being raised in a multicultural place like Monaco and get into the racing field, but I have to say he's got a real talent when he speaks a language because he's able to emulate a perfect accent and body language, something that not everyone can do it even when living for several years in a country.
Impressive. I didn't know he can speak italian too. He is a true pro and even though that's the case he maintained a very down to earth and friendly attitude. Nice guy
I feels so happy to be able to speak English and Portuguese, but this guy can speak 5 different languages. Congrats Nico u r really smart and great champion.
Intelligent and engaging guy. Obviously his extremely privileged upbringing and best schooling money can buy coupled with a strong work ethic. Underrated driver/champion, needed some luck and cunning/underhand tactics (Monaco qualifying for example) to beat Hamilton and even then Lewis has very bad luck with reliability. I really think people should appreciate how good Nico was throughout his time in f1 and it was only Hamilton’s brilliance that stopped him being multiple world champ. He did well to get one, and pretty sure he’d do a better job at Ferrari than vettel has!
Learning 3 of these languages right now makes me have a heightened appreciation for people like this. Absolutely incredible. To me its one of the highest forms of intelligence to speak multiple languages fluently.
Wow, four Latin languages and German, like most native Latin Language speakers do, except our french friends^^ But yes, he speaks very fluent, so, great job, Nico :)
@@norwedish01 I guess it's because English took a lot of vocabulary from latin languages (here is what I've seen on wikipedia : the vocabulary has been enriched and the syntax and grammar modified by Anglo-Norman French, brought by the Normans, then by French with the Plantagenets. The English language is thus composed of approximately 29% of words of Norman and French origin and more than two thirds of its vocabulary comes from French or Latin. English is also heavily influenced by Romance languages, in particular by the use of the Latin alphabet and Arabic numerals.)
@@Spitfirator Merci Gracia Grazie Danke Thank you Obrigado Gràçie Salamat Dēkuji Grāçie Mersi Sukriya Welajin Terima kasi Rahmet Tack Go raibh maith agat Oh et puis fuck
A couple of years ago Lewis said in french "I'm learning french", but we never heard him talking infrench since... Probably because he was just going out with a french lady at this moment. It can't be his number 1 goal in life.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M01j1s9XvLw.html Listen at the beggining part when he says "mah contentoo", sounds like a milanese puro figa
@@xScheletrozz Exactly, I had the same impression from this video too. Definitely nothing at all pointing at a roman accent. But hey, who are we to argue with God?
not just fluent, but totally in the language he#s speaking. no hesitation to speak of, except normal mid convo pauses to consider his next words in reply. i knew he spoke german & english naturally, and guessed at french; but italian & spanish too? very impressive.
