Wow. Some are saying that 3-4 language speakers are still possible in India due to mutual intelligibility, etc. However just look at the fluency a reporter needs to report with.
It is not a big deal from even an European but I can talk in 7 languages not total fluently but still have a big vocab

Besides bravo.
Then you might as well understand Hindi
@@pchawdhry12 Arabic and Kashmiri are totally different language. Arabic is semetic language meanwhile Kashmiri is Indo European language
This is absolutely utterly impressive. Very well spoken on each one and only minor accents. Wow I wish I could do this. This so damn impressive
I will call him a legend only when he starts reporting in "C++" language.

here comes A cringe joke from An Indian.

Who is he?
@@comradeleppi2000 former prime minister of india who knew much more languages !
It's hard to simply appreciate someone's talent nowadays, without some other people reminding you that they can do better
It's not that, if you'd know more you'd understand, understand the fact that while this may seem impressive to Americans, who have zero culture. For most Europeans this is a common occurrence since most indo European languages have a common root I.e. Latin or in this case vulgar Latin.
It really isn't that impressive. I'm sure you too can speak in more languages apart from your mother tongue.
@@user-vr5sc7zj1s I find your comment a bit rude, if not condescending, towards Americans, who I'm sure aren't all that uncultured. Also, not everyone who's impressed by this man is American, and I'm not sure why you would single them out that way.
Indeed, I know French as a mother tongue, but I also know Chinese thanks to my origins and some classes, and I can hold my own in English. I learned German in school.
I may not know a lot, but as an European myself, I do think for most people I know of my generation (friends and fellow countrymen), truly knowing four languages is already impressive, a great asset.
I may be lucky that circumstances made me fluent in French and Chinese, and I've been able to work on my English with the internet. But when it comes to German, even though France is Germany's neighbour, I can't exactly say that I "know" it. Even though I had amazing German teachers, did all my homework and participated in class, I still lack the practiced fluency Philip Crowther has with I don't know which language that is supposed to be foreign to him. I do believe I've been studious enough, I had great marks and all, I knew my grammar, I can understand and speak basic German sentences, but I feel like it's not the same.
So I find this man impressive, because he seems to really know the six languages he speaks (on TV!). You may not find this worth praising him, but for my classmates who have taken years to nail a language's accent, for me who need to practice more to converse casually with German speakers, it is awesome, and it motivates me to keep training.
Have a good day!
@@user-vr5sc7zj1s No, stop exaggerating. Even in Europe, speaking 6 languages fluently is an amazing feat.
@@Chtigga yeah, 2-3 can be pretty common but at 4 it starts being extra-impressive (tbf i'm french so we're not the best in terms of foreign languages)
@@____-pb1lg Haha, I'm French as well man and indeed, being a fluent English speaker within our country is already not a common sight.
The German is perfekt. He sounds like a native speaker.....awsome, stunning!
Its not just that he speaks all those languages, it is that he speaks them absolutely accent free! And I have rarely ever seen someone speak German accent free as foreigner, who didnt move here as a child
His father is German and his mother is English Native. All the other languages he learned was from their local school since the country he was born, (Luxembourg) is a small country and require student to learn multiple languages which is common demand in Europe.
He is a German.
All European languages. Many Indians can also speak 3-4 Indian languages.
Big difference between speaking fluently and barely speaking.
I can easily speak 3-4 languages with fluency, it isn't a big deal
Luxembourgish, German and English Germanic language meanwhile Portugese, French and Spanish are Romance language. That's different than Indic, Dravidian and Sino Tibetan language which is used in India.
Imagine thinking the difference between Sanskrit, urdo and kashmiri is the same difference between French, English, Portuguese and German.
@@miladantoine4566 what?
Wow I am amazed, as he speaks Portuguese, my home language, incredibly well.
Me that is on my way to learn English and French and more in the future, It's very exciting to see such thing, even though some say that people from Luxembourg grow up speaking 4 languages fluently, what is an advantage.
"And he reports in three more languages"!
Even Hindustan Times can't figure out which one are those😂.
Portuguese French and German
Fluent in English, Bengali ,Hindi . 😁🔥✌️
Me also but Bojhpuri asomiya Odia Understand in RUSSIAN and Spanish

Not only the languages, but his accents are amazing.
Ye bnda Hindi me bhi bolega ek din pkmkb
Phillip is a pretty famous journalist already with a excellent reputation...I don't think many people know he speaks 6 languages...👍👏😎😉
I can speak in three languages: Hindi, English, Urdu and little bit of Bundelkhandi.
Really cool!
Bundelkhandi may be your native language .
Bundelkhandi isn't a language.... it's just a varient of hindi
Matlab hindi english aur jhoot bolta hai?
@@rudrajeet814 (⌐■-■)
Impressive! Smart man!
Well, if you're living in a non-Hindi speaking state of India, you'll have to speak at least 4 different languages (mother tongue, local tongue, Hindi, English).
And most people I've met are quite fluent in them - you can't really tell which is their native one.
[Now maybe the "Birbal trick" (of throwing water on someone in the middle of the night) might work in telling apart their mother tongue. I haven't tried it yet...]
Point being, there's nothing impressive about speaking 4-6 different languages.
I'd say a true polyglot (if that's what you're going for) needs mastery of at least a dozen.
I am fluent in
English,
Hindi,
Kannada(state language), Konkani(mother tongue),
Sanskrit.
I understand Tamil, Malayalam but can't speak.
😂
Yes bro agree with ur comment
But most imp factor is heis using his language
For his as well as all his listeners benefit
Thats the difference
I think it's impressive if you can fluently speak 6 languages. Maybe not to you.
@@prajwalnayak5246 how different are Konkani and Kannad from each other ..just asking...like my mother tongue Awadhi shares a lot of word with hindi (I'm from UP) ...so does Konkani and Kannad share words
True but most of them don't drop their accents ..like our finance minister when she speaks hindi with an unusual accent
That dedication and IQ of this guy is next level
Instead of saying what's the big deal since Indians speak several languages, understand the fact that many European states are independent nations formed out of a single language or ethnicity, whereas India, albeit having several languages is one country.
Much appreciation to this journalist for being a polygot.
Not only that. His pronunciation in all those languages is exemplary
So you can understand all languages he spoke?
Indeed excellent. I know my classmate at pondicherry university in Tourism department who knows 8 languages. English, Hindi, Kannda, Malayalam, Tamil, Tulu, konkani and Marathi.
There two other who are with proficiency in multiple languages viz
P1 English, Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Malayalam
P2 English, Hindi, Odia, Bengali, Santhali
PS - All of them know basic French with working level proficiency.
A good way to ensure that information and propaganda are well aligned, much more practical than 6 journalists on different channels.
I would definetely watch this guys news channel. they wont change the narrative
😘 brother! ❤️Talented Legend! 🔥🔥🔥
It's impressive but it's just that since in India it's pretty normal for many people to speak 4 or 5 , not surprised
In india we speak local languages not international
@@comradeleppi2000 Those languages are local to the European sub-continent, just like the ones in India are local to this sub-continent.
National boundaries are irrelevant in this matter.
Indian sub-langueges and dialects are not the same as real international languages like French, German, Portuguese and English.
@@miladantoine4566 National boundaries are irrelevant to this matter. The ones you've mentioned are European "sub-languages" (whatever that even means).
I can speak in 7 languages Bengali (mother tongue) , Hindi, English, Odia, Urdu, Assamese, Sanskrit (very little) 😁✌
Baah! Darun bhai
Baah
Hindi and Urdu 😏
I can speak in 8 languages Odia ( mother tongue), English, Hindi, Bengali, Sanskrit, Marathi , Japanese and Korean
Master h master!!
Not a big deal, I am also fluent in English, German, Hindi, Bengali & Assamese .
Ok, that’s impressive too, well done. No need to be a positivity vacuum though, the guy clearly has talent.
@@cml9275 Well, some would argue (not that the OP does) the inherent Euro-centricity of this "impressiveness" is the actual "positivity vacuum". Speaking multiple languages might be a novelty among the largely ethno-national European nations & their overseas offshoots.
This might be rather trivial in certain other parts of the world. Naturally, they'd express amusement more than awe (as one can see in the comments here).
@@jojobabok9373 I understand your point. I don’t think it’s necessarily a rarity to have multiple language speakers in Europe at all, quite the opposite. To have a journalist that single handedly reports on current affairs in six languages is a rarity and deserves to be applauded and not shrugged off as ordinary. I speak six languages, but I could not produce news reports in them, hence why I am impressed.
Let him speak in 10 languages. Let's pray for peace for not having a world war 3.
Wow his fluency and command are excellent.
Philip greetings for you , saludos , cuidate mucho te admiro estoy aprendiendo ingles saludos todos los estudiantes de la Escuela Carlos Rosario gracias por tu conferencia en ZOOM last time !
This is what I aspire to be.
Be still intelligible to a great majority of the world population.
And Portuguese, too!
I wish I could speak 6 languages fluently. Estoy aprendiendo español y es será difícil para mi, mi español no es perfecto, y quiero hablar fluidez, y con práctica puedo hacerlo. Ich sprechen Deutsche, aber nicht sehr gut, lo se más español que alemán, but I think I’ll stick to learning spanish for now.
It may be a big thing for forigeners but in India, meh... I myself can speak 3 languages and my mom four (hindi, English, Gujarati and bengali).
I speak six indian languages fluently why do people run after foriegn languages?
british german luxembourgian ..... samajh rahe ho aap ....
Impressive👍 But being multilingual is pretty common in India - a federal union - almost like Europe. For eg., a typical South Indian could easily be fluent in six languages - his / her mother tongue, maybe Kannada, and of course Hindi and English, besides Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. The person may even be qualified to use them all professionally like this talented reporter. But because of the country's large population, six different people will have to do the job so that six people can earn a livelihood.
Language ability is always a door to a larger world. Easing misconceptions and winning ❤s
Yeah but it's just bc India has all those languages spoken in their own country lol, but go try to find an indian person that speaks indian, japanese, portuguese, spanish, russian and french for example
I can speak ching Desi Chinese,Hindi,Urdu, Punjabi,Russian,English,pahadi,

I only could do that in 2 language
SANSKRIT, HINDI
when i felt like he is scolding me i realized yeah now he is speaking german.
I can’t even report in my native language 😊
When the British meets German, you get a product of imagination and precision engineering!
Why is it only Indian people chirping that they all speak 4 languages?
Funny the language of Truth seems to be the toughest language for reporters nowadays
very few speak it indeed.
Esto es lo que se llama un verdadero reportero de guerra.

In India most people have proficiency in at least 2 languages .
Those r local not international languages

He needs a raise
I can speak Bengali (MT), Hindi , Assamese (LL) and English. 😄
Even I can speak in multiple languages. Bodo, English, Hindi, Assamese. And I think speaking in different languages is common in India as India is a land of diversity ❤️
i can speak english,hindi,maithili, bhojpuri, nepali, a bit of magahi.
His portuguese is really good, he has kind spanish accent speaking portuguese but subtle.
Other countries : wow he speak 4 👄💬
India 🇮🇳 : each person know 2,3,4,5👄💬
Yeah but it's just that India has all those languages spoken in their own country, but go try to find an indian person that speaks indian, japanese, portuguese, spanish, russian and french for example
@@Laura-dn1zx if requirement demand to learn language, then only people learn it or it doesn't have value,
Their is no use of learning Japanese, Chinese or any other language in India,
I just want to say most indian know more than one language

Hindi, Marwadi,Bengali,Nepali and English .
I wonder how many journalists's work he must be doing with fluency in all those languages
भाई कोई इसे संस्कृत भी सीखा दो।😂😂
I speak 4 languages....Hindi, English, Bengali, Assamese...
... but nobody gives a shit.
I myself speak marathi ,hindi, marwadi , english , and can read and right sanskrit
There are reporters in india who do the same. But no we need some white guy doing it.
I speak 3 languages
Myself knows ..Tamil,english, hindi,sanskrit,malayalam....if tamil is known malayalam is easy, if hindi is known sanskrit is easy...
Ha bhai ham bhi boldenge india me hazaro hai hai aise.
All these languages which he speaks, are connected . Most people know these combination of languages.
Yet how many speak as fluently with the accent and intonation. People are just haters man!
In india it's common
Gaawd he must have so many pick up lines!
Pro journalist
I think he is reading. But I also speak 5 languages fluently, and some others that I undrestqnd but I am not fluent. In Europe it is not a big deal.
lol the only journalist we love in kyiv is palki
So? Many journalists in India can report in at least three different languages.
Every indian knows on an average 3 languages,some might know even 4-5 languages.
Hindi is so undermined
My wife Alexa knows more languages than this.
Presumably one of the other languages is German.
I can report in English, Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Tulu i am so proud of myself i did this unknowingly 😂
He spoke Russian, English, French, german, spanish, italian and there was one more which sounded like german, so 7 languages not 6.
i too speak six
Does anyone know what the background music title please?
