Unbelievable. Smooth transitions, comfortable authentic accents, wonderful story, amazing range of languages and just a great guy!
Well said Mr Steeve.
This man should be studied and also be followed! What he is doing for the polyglot community is AMAZING!
Completely agree!
@@Italkilanguage 🙏🏻 regards from Brazil
Those transitions were so smooth like butter. It was beautiful as if poetry by one of our favorite polyglots. :)
As if poetry, exactly!
This is like a language work of art.
We absolutely agree! What a master!
This is a real polyglot and I love his humility above all things
His accents sound very good to - he even changes the timbre of his voice according to what is more typical for certain languages.
I'm french and if i didn't know Richard was a polyglot, I would say his mother's tongue was french.
If his English isn't so English i would've thought that too
Richard Simcott is the real deal. Yes, I know, with some recent memes, that means he's a Gigachad. Well, Richard is the original proto-Gigachad. I've been following him for years and he is awesome.
I still can't fathom how his German is soooo perfect
Sounds like music to my ears, Richard!
Гэта было як музыка ў маіх вушах.
Это было как музыка для моих ушей.
Це було як музика у моїх вухах.
Pro mé uši to bylo jako hudba.
Pre moje uši to bolo ako hudba.
To było jak muzyka dla moich uszu.
對於我的耳朵來說，（不同語言的聲音）就像音樂。
Het klonk als muziek in mijn oren.
Dit was soos musiek in my ore.
Ήταν σαν μουσική στα αυτιά μου.
यह मेरे कानों को संगीत की तरह था।
यो मेरो कानमा संगीत जस्तै थियो।
มันเหมือนกับเสียงเพลงที่อยู่ในหูของผม
ມັນຄ້າຍຄືເພງໃນຫູຂອງຂ້ອຍ.
Nó giống như âm nhạc với tai tôi vậy.
Kwakungathi umculo ezindlebeni zami.
كان مثل الموسيقى لأذني
:-)
So beautiful isn't it?
What an absolute legend
He's one in a billion!
Holy Kamoley! That was impressive, that bit of Scots brought a smile to my face also, cheers!
Richard Simcott never ceases to amaze me
Wow wow wow!! The inspiration!!! He is so inspiring!! I just have goosebumps from watching this. He is so amazing
The smoothest transitions EVER!
that danish to icelandic was impressive!
Those switches are amazing! I am particularly charmed by his switch from Greek to Turkish and Portuguese to Russian (which are two somewhat similar sounding languages yet only distantly related)
Your Swedish is incredibly fluent and well spoken! Mycket bra! 🇸🇪
He has a special brain
I had the opportunity to meet him in 2015
Amazing guy ☺👏👏👏
This is the guy! Richard Simcott! I love you man!!
This is inbelievable. It sounds like a poem, switching so smoothly from one language into another. I wonder whether it was suitable to start off my comment with English. You realize that any other language would have suited the same way. And these weren't just empty catch phrases. The whole poem was so wonderfully filled up with human wisdom and profound knowledge.
It's so cool to see people that speak Brazilian Portuguese.
Wow, that was beautiful and truly impressive. Awesome!
amazing. i met him at the polyglot gathering and gonna meet him at his pg COnference in Budapest
Absolutely genius idea for making the switches in the one similar word. One nitpicking of a Turkish native speaker here on the captions of the video, if you don't mind...."internette" is "on the internet" in Turkish, -te (along with -ta, -da and -de according to the vowel harmony) being the locative case suffix. The nominative form is "İnternet" (with dotted capital i). Except for a little bit of an accent, the Turkish is flawless. Yet again the accent is not too big of a deal if it's understandable, unless you are a secret agent of course.
You're the number one Richard, greetings. Saludos desde México hermano. Bon courage🎊🎉🎊🎉.
He is wonderful!!
Amazing video Richard! Still going strong on learning new languages ... really inspiring! 😀
We think so too!
Very cool. Love the idea of the links.
Wow that’s astonish…. Beautiful union of human languages
Ricard Simcott has a beautiful mind. His Russian is quite understandable. He even prounounces sound Ы (yery) correctly, but there is a little accent and word order in sentences as it was translated from an analytic language.
Just amazing!
Omg . Polyglot is not difficult but he was able to change Langauges rapidly in sentence continuation . This man is Very talented . None can do this
Well, at least one person can as he just demonstrated.
Brilliant mind and an even more inspiring work ethic!
Very clever. Good job!
Goosebumps! Wow, that was fantastic.
Wow the transitions were so smooth!
Sorry for all the other languages but Italian is the prettiest sounding (IMO)
Legendary! I love the polyglot community! Great video!
Add a sound track to it and it'll be a hit on the Billboard. The Polyglot Billboard. hmmmm, is this an idea for the Polyglot Conference?
Good idea! The Polyglot symphony :)
Wow! That was really well done! Truly an inspiration!
Beautiful.
DUDE, his Spanish and German were literally perfect ._.
This guy is just amazing
This is just amazing. Unbelievable
Amazing polyglot 🤩
European Portuguese and Russian sound so similar, wow!
A real polyglot. Like many I've encountered in my travels all around the world. And in stark contrast to many TH-cam polyglots. :)
Forever a legend with all language lovers🐐❤️
Eitaaaa! Inacreditável!
Jaw dropped y'all!!!
Наистина прекрасен български ,Ричард :) I am really proud in a way, that Richard, whom I look up to in terms of language learning, speaks my mother tongue. Es wäre mir ein großes Vergnügen,lieber Richard, dich auch mal persönlich kennenzulernen . Ate logo:=) Dimitar
if aliens come he should be the one learning their language to translate it to us XD
Richard makes me speechless
Mic drop!
BEAST!!! :)
Alter Schwede! :D
Amazing!!!! His portuguese is GREAT! :O
So inspiring!
The Brazilian - European switch was impressive. All of my languages have a specific accent and I can’t change that. Heck, I can’t even do accents well in English as a native speaker.
Suksese! Başarılar diliyorum, arkadaş mou!
2:20 2:28 Sin gramática!? 2:31
But what language does he dream in? All of them?
Прекрасен преод помеѓу Бугарски и Македонски јазик!
Amazing video apart from the scots bit haha!
These are all European languages so surely there's a lot of crossover, loan words, and similar setence structure and grammar points. I wonder how he'd fair with an Asian or African language.
日本語は？:-)
No asian languages :/
He speaks Chinese really well but he's a little less confident about using it. What he showed in the video is just a fraction of what he speaks.
In croatian "razumjeti tuđu kulturu" and not "razumeti drugu kulturu"
It sounds a bit off, closer to saying understanding second/other culture than understanding foreign culture
I don't mind the ekavica since many dialects use it(razumeti, razumjeti), but you said ludi and not ljudi and you can't exclude the j from everything. L and j produce their own sound similar to ñ
The ch in moguće is pronounced hard, as in every other word with ć. Nobody says soft ch(not even anchors speaking as standardly as possible). Croatian is similar to norwegian in that way. Standard Croatian should be written but def not spoken. A foreigner would get a pass, but a native speaker would be thought of as artificial and pompous
Apologies for correcting you, I feel extremely happy I got to hear my
mother tongue. I'm assuming you are near native at it already
He sounded just fine in Macedonian. Great skills.
Remember, it´s "estar loco" not "ser loco".
Actually you can use both. It depends on your meaning..
In your sentence you can use "pensando que estoy loco" or "pensando que soy un loco", but "ser loco" sounds weird. It's one of the rare instances where "ser " does not really work.
I think that the subtitles are wrong. He said: "Soy loco con todos mis idiomas", with which he meant "I'm crazy about all my languages" instead of "... With all my languages". As a matter of fact, there's a song by Shakira (Loca) which uses this "Soy local con" and it makes perfect sense to me, as a Dominican Spanish speaker.
@@SpeakingFluently Yea, and in that context it's wrong
@@Prosper0h Exactly.
How does this man have a wife and kids when he be lookin like lord voldomort with a bread and glasses (LITTERLY)
I read your comment and was kind of disappointed, but then I saw your username and everything came full circle
Probably because he's a decent guy who can speak 30 languages, whereas you can't even spell...
He definitely has a unique look. He could get roles in Hollywood immediately!
Because many people here in the world see other value in people. There is a market for everything. And besides that RICHARD IS F**** AWESOME💬💟
