Correct...we speak so many languages that even we sometimes have trouble understanding each other...I faced this in New Zealand (where I met other Indians whose languages I don't speak, like Telugu). Our solution: speak in English 😂

Malyalees need to study 3 languages including Malayalam,English and Hindi in our school system its mandatory we love to hear tamil songs and most of malluz working and studying in banglore then Kannada too
Always enjoy these language challenges! Just wanted to mention as a heads up, I noticed the subtitles were a little odd at times. See 18:29 as one example, it appears to be matching the German to English words that sound close lol
Except most of the languages he knows he can hold a conversation thoroughly? He’s not a fake polyglot he’s legit. He was just in a video with Xiaomao this past week
Exactly! It's so pissing off when monolingual people are amazed at this guy, not knowing he doesn't know more than 2 languages. And then we get all those comments like "wow really amazing but [insert mother tongue] ... needs a bit of work lets say" lmao
Honestly, these types of videos are so wròng, giving $ to x or y for speaking languages, pfff, one should work hard to get a småll amount of money for food and rent, and not get it for free basically - anyways, one can imagine that ppl that say they speak many languages aren’t fluent / native speaker level in all languages they say they speak, so it’s probably A1 / A2 level in most and B1 level in some and fluent only in 2 or 3 languages, so I would say Dutch / English / German are spoken more fluently, and the others at A1 to B1 level, because learning a language means one has to learn at least 10.000 base words if one wants to get to a native speaker level, which can be extremely overwhelming if one wants to learns many languages...
Like, I have over 50 languages on my list of languages I want to know and improve, and I can understand many of the similar ones, and I am advanced level in Dutch (over 8.000 base words) and writer level in English (60k to 100.000 words or maybe more) and intermediate level in Norwegian / German / Swedish and Portuguese and close to an intermediate level in French and native speaker level in Spanish (over 11.000 base words to 15.000+ words) and beginner level in Welsh / Old Norse / Breton / Icelandic / Gothic / Norn / Hungarian / Cornish / Galician / Catalan / Gallo / Danish / Irish / Slovene / Luxembourgish / Faroese / Limburgish / Manx / Occitan / Latin / Scottish Gaelic / Limburgish / Guernsey / Ripuarian / Italian and the other Dutch-based / Italian-based / German-based / French-based etc languages and the 3 Frisian languages (West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian) and Scots Doric and Yola and the other pretty languages that are on my list!

Great Job man ! I also love languages like you and as a Indian , we speak 3 languages from birth . I can speak Marathi , Hindi , English , Sanksrit , German and Japanese. It is fun learning new languages and communicate with new people .
@@atharvzemse6599sorry to butt in, but from what i have observed about Maharashtrian Marathis - i live in Mumbai in a Marathi-dominated area - not all Marathi speakers speak Konkani. Many can understand Konkani, but they can't necessarily converse. This is true even for "native" speakers, i.e. people whose mother tongue is Marathi. It's even less common for people like me, who speak Marathi, not as a mother tongue but by virtue of being a Mumbaikar, to also speak Konkani. This is mainly bcoz I am exposed to Marathi but not to Konkani. I think most Goa Marathis can speak both tho
9:07 Malayalam parichu 💀. It is " padichu " which means studied but little pronunciation issue changed it to " parichu " which is a cuss word in Malayalam.
Don't call south Indians for challenge. You mostly gonna lose. Even without much effort most of them speak minimum 3 south Indian languages. I could add 3 more (english, hindi, german) with my list making it 6. 😅
the reason you meet ppl from india who know alot of languages is beacuse schools require you to have a primary (usually english) language (this will be used in all subjects) then you have a secondary that you have to learn (usually hindi) and a third (usually your state language) and depending on your school a 4th (that could be spanish, sanskrit) (but thats very rare)
Third language is largely applicable in non-Hindi states, Hindi states generally go for Sanskrit as third subject instead of their own language or other scheduled languages.
It's impressive how many Indians that are able to speak multiple Indian languages in addition to their native Indian language and English, considering how different they can be
I'm Indian and I speak Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Hindi, English and Spanish 😊. In india most of the people speak 2- 3 languages at least, if you don’t, you can't survive!
He bullshits his way into concincing him he knows the language, just like wouter does by memorizing the same three phrases for each language. No different
The dude speaking Kannada didn't speak it clearly, in my opinion. Grammatically incorrect. If you counted Tamil even though you spoke a bit, Kannada shouldn't have been counted since he spoke only a bit.
As an indonesian i see this as an absolute win, i mean every indonesian probably know 2 or 3 other native indonesian language beside indonesian bahasa it self
Hey Wouter, if you add the english subtitles that are already there to TH-cam (which says Captions are unavailable, maybe because the video was just published but I'm not sure how it handles multi-lingual videos) there will be an option to auto-translate subtitles so that people from all over can watch your videos

I think majority of south Indians can speak at least 3 languages. I speak 7 but my grandpa who had very little formal schooling could speak 9 languages and read/write 3 languages. I am hoping to learn Spanish just so that I can watch more movies/series in that language without CC.
Don't challenge with India 😂 there are 1652 languages in india which are considered to be mother toungh 😂 i am also indian, I noticed that whenever you bump into indian, unfortunately you lose money 😂😂😂 , i am proud of being indian
If you wanna describe how an action is done in chinese (like saying that you can't write well) you should say "我写中文写得不好“ (Wǒ xiě zhōngwén xiě de bù hǎo).得 de is used to describe how an action is done and it always follows the verb. Also when using this structure the first verb can be omitted "我中文写得不好 Wǒ zhōngwén xiě de bù hǎo".
Indians just know so many languages, lmao. Like every person I know can speak at least 3 languages, lol. Also I'd recommend you to use "lekin" instead of "parantu" for saying "but" in Hindi because "parantu" sounds very stiff in spoken conversation and is mostly only used in formal writing or stories.
Many urban Indians also tend to mix languages when we speak. Often in the same sentence you'll have words from different languages. When i thought about it, I realized that i regularly mix 3 languages during normal conversation. And the combination of languages can vary based on the opposite person and the languages they are comfortable with.
True! Plenty of people do this in Mumbai..English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati are the most common...I even throw in Tamil for my Mum...and she and I never have problems understanding each other 😂
The second guy was from Switzerland, not from germany or holland. He spoke swiss german which is very similar, props that you could understand it though your german isn't perfect
I was waiting the moment he finds Indian, the moment he find he lost. More than 1200 unofficial languages we speak in India and india can read and write more than 22 official languages
little tip for spanish: when you want to talk about something remember to add the prepositions and pronouns, for example, "Quiero saber más sobre la cultura de Incas", instead try to say "Quiero saber más sobre la cultura de LOS Incas". Since you are not talking about a specific person, but a group, so you add "LOS". for the other one "La cultura de Machu Pichu", instead try "La cultura DEL Machu Pichu" Not talking about an animal so it sounds weird if you say "de", instead try to say 'DEL', more appropiated for a non-live being thing. hope it helped at least a bit !
German is my mother tongue but that German speaking man spoke a dialect that even I had trouble to understand. He definitely didn't speak standard German. Compliment to you for understanding what he said.
@@fatih24681012141618 Maybe you should go learn English if you don't understand the meaning of "German is my mother tongue". Und ich habe nicht gesagt, dass ich es nicht verstehe. Aber es ist ein Dialekt, bei dem ich genauer hinhören musste, da ich Schweizerdeutsch vor über 20 Jahren, in der 6. Klasse, zuletzt gehört habe und die Frau damals hat auch noch anders gesprochen als der Mann in dem Video.
You speak german like a native and that's is so impressive i started learning german since 3 months and i was stunned when you started speaking it! Keep up with the good work!
Glad that you learnt some words of Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu. Usually nobody would learn it or even heard of these languages despite having large number of speakers and it has it's own entertainment industries.
he didn't speak it well... I grew up in Karnataka, but my mother tongue is Marathi. I speak Kannada; Marathi; Hindi; English; a little bit of French, Spanish and German.
hes a scam. he repeats the same sentences in some languages that he leaned by heart. i like music, the culture, i speak 29 languages bla bla. this is not speaking
@@criff85 disagree with you. Although it's true what you say that Wouter says basic things in many languages, however, watching him having a conversation and understanding what people say is: really absolutely amazing 😍 !!! It's way way more than repeating the same things. I watched him speaking French (my native language) and Wouter is pretty good ! He makes a few grammatical errors but that's expected. Wouter is actually a phenomenon in my view !
If I would have been there I would have won for sure... Lol I am from Nepal and my native language is Nepali... The languages that I can speak are *NEPALI, HINDI, TAMANG,NEWARI,ENGLISH,KOREAN* ... Nepali is my mother tongue obviously so I know it.. I am from Kathmandu so I am very good in Newari too and Tamang is a language that I just know talking with my friends who are Tamang....I am currently learning Korean... Love your videos dude.. ❤❤

I think majority of south Indians can speak at least 3 languages. I speak 7 but my grandpa who had very little formal schooling could speak 9 languages and read/write 3 languages. I am hoping to learn Spanish just so that I can watch more movies/series in that language without CC.
Samee😂
That last guy Kannada was very basic…like your Tamil 😂
Goed bezig, Wouter! Respect!!
Очень классно. Я тоже хотел бы говорить более чем на 2 языках и путешествовать по разным странам
Don't challenge with India 😂 there are 1652 languages in india which are considered to be mother toungh 😂 i am also indian, I noticed that whenever you bump into indian, unfortunately you lose money 😂😂😂 , i am proud of being indian
Your Malayalam just gave me a shock..
Great work brother
If you wanna describe how an action is done in chinese (like saying that you can't write well) you should say "我写中文写得不好“ (Wǒ xiě zhōngwén xiě de bù hǎo).得 de is used to describe how an action is done and it always follows the verb. Also when using this structure the first verb can be omitted "我中文写得不好 Wǒ zhōngwén xiě de bù hǎo".
Thanks so much for the feedback, I appreciate. I really want to improve my Mandarin.
Indians just know so many languages, lmao. Like every person I know can speak at least 3 languages, lol. Also I'd recommend you to use "lekin" instead of "parantu" for saying "but" in Hindi because "parantu" sounds very stiff in spoken conversation and is mostly only used in formal writing or stories.
Girl was like I know German.
Guten Tag!
Now give me money...
The key to beating Wouter is to be Indian.
Many urban Indians also tend to mix languages when we speak. Often in the same sentence you'll have words from different languages. When i thought about it, I realized that i regularly mix 3 languages during normal conversation. And the combination of languages can vary based on the opposite person and the languages they are comfortable with.
Lol true 😂 I generally mix bengali, maithili & hindi
True! Plenty of people do this in Mumbai..English, Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati are the most common...I even throw in Tamil for my Mum...and she and I never have problems understanding each other 😂
The second guy was from Switzerland, not from germany or holland. He spoke swiss german which is very similar, props that you could understand it though your german isn't perfect
You can't beat a South Indian person they can speak Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and even hindi
I was waiting the moment he finds Indian, the moment he find he lost. More than 1200 unofficial languages we speak in India and india can read and write more than 22 official languages
little tip for spanish: when you want to talk about something remember to add the prepositions and pronouns, for example, "Quiero saber más sobre la cultura de Incas", instead try to say "Quiero saber más sobre la cultura de LOS Incas". Since you are not talking about a specific person, but a group, so you add "LOS". for the other one "La cultura de Machu Pichu", instead try "La cultura DEL Machu Pichu" Not talking about an animal so it sounds weird if you say "de", instead try to say 'DEL', more appropiated for a non-live being thing.
hope it helped at least a bit !
Good tip!
@@littlebrit glad to hear that!
வாழ்த்துக்கள் சகோதரி!!
As a Chinese,I have to admit that there're so many Indian polygots
German is my mother tongue but that German speaking man spoke a dialect that even I had trouble to understand. He definitely didn't speak standard German. Compliment to you for understanding what he said.
swiss german
go learn German. If you don't understand that
@@fatih24681012141618 Maybe you should go learn English if you don't understand the meaning of "German is my mother tongue". Und ich habe nicht gesagt, dass ich es nicht verstehe. Aber es ist ein Dialekt, bei dem ich genauer hinhören musste, da ich Schweizerdeutsch vor über 20 Jahren, in der 6. Klasse, zuletzt gehört habe und die Frau damals hat auch noch anders gesprochen als der Mann in dem Video.
@@fatih24681012141618did you even read the comment?
Tio NE estas la germana, sed alia lingvo. Nu ĉar en la angla ĝia nomo estas Sviss GERMAN, NE igas ĝin germana ;)
awesome video
btw this subtitle format is better than your previous video, easy to read
You speak german like a native and that's is so impressive i started learning german since 3 months and i was stunned when you started speaking it! Keep up with the good work!
Kannada ಕನ್ನಡ...❤❤❤
Dude i saw a video of ur speaking malayalam. Hope one day u visit kerala india.
1:15 what kind of German is that? its not the german i know...
Swiss German
@@Marvin-gs5rk oh alright thanks for letting me know
🎉Dutch ❤dude is great😂 but needs to learn my mother tongue- Kannada too as his next language 😊 & add another feather to his cap!!!
Glad that you learnt some words of Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu. Usually nobody would learn it or even heard of these languages despite having large number of speakers and it has it's own entertainment industries.
The last persons kannada was not upto the mark but he was just managing it 😂. But he spoke enough kannada for €150😅
Well im pretty sure he couldn't have understoon if the tamil was spoken in another dialect
Aahhhhh vem aqui pro Brasil pra ver se eu não pego esses 150 euros 😂😂😂😂😂
Seu trabalho é magnífico ❤
All of these people are incredible, speaking so many languages!
As an Indian, I can speak Hindi, English, Tamil and Marathi
Haven't heard of Kannada language before, very cool.
he didn't speak it well... I grew up in Karnataka, but my mother tongue is Marathi. I speak Kannada; Marathi; Hindi; English; a little bit of French, Spanish and German.
It's another south Indian language just like Tamil telugu and Malayalam
State language of Karnataka, capital Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore) - most famous for its IT companies
try this challenge with someone from west Africa or west Africa and you'll see
Even i would hv won.
English,hindi, kannada,tulu,konkani,malayalam😂
An average Indian from a non-Hindi speaking belt can speak in atleast 2 languages other than Hindi and English.
I would speak Gujarati Tamil Hindi Bengali English.
Just waiting for þe moment someone comes up wiþ toki pona
Appreciated man 👍
Like you said malayalam is not that easy but i am amazed with your malayalam pronounciation good job man keep going..
Wouter is simply absolutely amazing ! WOW 🎉
29 languages ❤
hes a scam. he repeats the same sentences in some languages that he leaned by heart. i like music, the culture, i speak 29 languages bla bla. this is not speaking
@@criff85
disagree with you.
Although it's true what you say that Wouter says basic things in many languages, however, watching him having a conversation and understanding what people say is: really absolutely amazing 😍 !!!
It's way way more than repeating the same things.
I watched him speaking French (my native language) and Wouter is pretty good ! He makes a few grammatical errors but that's expected.
Wouter is actually a phenomenon in my view !
You move with 29 people in yourself. So crazy 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@oliviermuvandimwe9404
I don't think he's fluent in all 29 languages, however he's an absolutely amazing polyglot !
19:28 तुम्हारा नाम क्या है...😂😂
Next up, Speak 5 languages that I Don't speak, Win 1 million Euros. ahahah just kidding, great video as always Wouter!!
Osaakko sää kenties puhua suomea? Jos et niin kannattaa opetella😄
Penso che possa sapere qualcosa di finlandese. Non è così improbabile.
I speak 2 languages that you don't , but I am across the ocean ,so I don't see a chance for us too meet and give it a try it.
If I would have been there I would have won for sure... Lol I am from Nepal and my native language is Nepali... The languages that I can speak are *NEPALI, HINDI, TAMANG,NEWARI,ENGLISH,KOREAN* ... Nepali is my mother tongue obviously so I know it.. I am from Kathmandu so I am very good in Newari too and Tamang is a language that I just know talking with my friends who are Tamang....I am currently learning Korean... Love your videos dude..
