In this video I will practive 21 languages with random people on the streets of Amsterdam. My first goal is always the connection with people and to get out of my comfort zone. It's very cool how people react if you speak their mother tongue.

I was expecting him to talk to that cat in *Meow*
I want too
Lol
i expected the camera women (his sister?) to speak meow^^
how chilled was that cat? i was pretty stunned to see a cat chilled like this while ppl are doing weird stuff in front of it's eyes. and also it had a nice cushion^^
@@bobabier5394 they sounded like doing a ritual before sacrificing the cat
veryverygentle 😂
Loved the interaction with the French guy. Seems like a very interesting and nice person!
But he is from france. France
@@konrad5609 So whats wrong with France? Our nice neighbours! Tres jolie bien sur cette pay!
igen
@@mathisnoiz Fdp, means mother fucker in portuguese lol
Mathis N mdrrrrrr
He asks quite random questions like: Did you sleep well? Wtf
He only knows certain sentances and has them memorized. He doesn't really know those languages fully
@@ohhrelic8804 That's why there's divisions in language. He never said he spoke all of them fluently. If you can get by with a basic understanding (make a request, directions, order a meal, etc.) the claim is valid.
@@ohhrelic8804 Wrong.
Krane claim is invalid. He cannot express himself on a deeper level in most of his languages. If you ask him what he thinks about climate change he won’t be able to say anything.
@@humanitystherapist Again, his claim is that he's leaning not that he's fluent. These basics are the steps where you become fluent in a language.
7:46 "Can you speak Tagalog so I can practice please"
Waitress: proceeds to list ingredients in English again
Boo Bella filipinos often use english and tagalog mixed together. sometimes if we can’t think of certain words in tagalog, we substitute using english... aka taglish
@@jasminniemoo tama po kayo. pde ako nagsasalita sa tagalog. pero di ako pinoy 😅
Most of the people here use english and tagalog mixed,I find it awkward to speak in full Filipino
Tagalog is basically a product of Spanish and English intimate sex.
There was a video from Asian Boss, where Filipinos were asked if they could speak only in Tagalog and NO Taglish. The Filipinos said, yes and once the conversation started, I think all subconsciously did Taglish and realized, they were not able to do only Tagalog.
I love how the camera just zones on the cat, like "nope, this cat is far more interesting than this multilingual convo"
and the lady from to time goes brush the cat
It is, it is much more important

I have an Indian parrot who speaks Hindi
😂😂😂 WHAT?!?!
You’re saying you don’t have an Indian parrot who speaks Hindi? Come on, it’s 2019, everyone has one!😂
that part threw me off like ??? lmfao
That was so random..
That was so random...I was like what the heck
I thought that shit was funny..lmao
Love this guy so much! Don’t mind the haters man :) Obviously you state in almost all your videos that you talk to the people who speak different languages to improve your vocabulary in a particular language. I wish people would just stop with the hate and appreciate the video. This video makes me happy seeing the reactions!
The girl speaking thai asked twice for you to hang out with her. Glad you actually took her up on it later lol
As someone who loves learning languages, I really want to like this guy but I can't.
I mean, yeah, he speaks maybe 5-7 languages, and that's impressive, but why the need of claiming he speaks 20-30 languages?
In most languages he claims to speak he's just memorized a bunch of phrases, that's why he throws around some random questions so often.
And before you say he's never claimed to be fluent, look at the titles of his videos and tell me if it's not implied that he's fluent in all those languages. Also, some of his supporters are just playing semantics, saying a thing or two in certain language doesn't mean you speak that language.
This is what I thought and I only speak one language.
Who fucking cares? It might be for views but he’s still “connecting” with people which is the point
@@shuneughu4244 he literally told the greek people he wants a chicken gyro, what a connection. They clearly had a good laugh and wanted to move on with their day.
yea like a lot of the clips is him just saying things he has passively learned like how for example I know random phrases like "una hamburgusa con queso" and stuff like that from Duolingo and hearing it
My question is… but according to you all, that watch his videos and comment them, if he really spoke 30 languages VERY GOOD, would he get around his city parks to annoy tourists or would he work for international companies as an interpreter or something like that?
So I am an Italian mother tongue, I can speak Spanish and Portuguese (from Portugal) and I studied some Chinese as well
So about Portuguese his accent is funny, it is an accent that is not natural at all; about Spanish is ok but there are a lot of mistakes, always exchanges male and female genders for example.
About Italian, his Italian is not good, he can says some sentences but there is no accent, it’s look like google translate voice, there is no energy, there is nothing, his sentences are totally empty, about Italian he cannot work anywhere with this level of italian,
About Chinese he speaks well, but the tunes for example are not taken into account, he knows just a few Chinese characters.. the most beautiful and difficult of Chinese language…
So I think for my experience that learning a language is not only to speak it, it is studying his culture, studying his country where it is spoken, traveling to his country for a period of time… and so on..
Studying a language at home, without experiencing like that.. according to me it is an half work, ok he speaks them, but the problem now is not how many languages does he speak, but how does he speak all these languages…
I love your videos dude. I speak 4 languages myself and you're pushing me to learn even more because you showed me how cool it can be to communicate with people in their native language.
Portuguese: He is asking - 'Is the university cool for you? (A universidade é legal para você)', subtitles: 'Is the university helpful for you'
first, to motivate myself I started to search for multilingual videos and I found yours, and I have tried to find a video you speaking Korean and here it is. I am glad I found one. 약간 어색하긴 한데 언어 감각이 좋네요. Great job man.
거의 한국어 초보시다 보니까 어색함이 더 느껴지는데요
Love the videos Wouter, I hope your love for learning languages goes on forever
Thanks mate, I'll go for it.
A fun fact at 10:53 : the guy speaks "parantu" for "but", while majority of Indians use "lekin", which mean the same. Parantu is used in formal conversations, but seldom used in spoken Hindi. The only place I ever used parantu was in Hindi literature in middle school.
.
Whoever is reading this, I hope you're safe, and I appreciate this man, being a polyglot is not featherweight task!
That's very interesting. Thanks for pointing it out.
You are a legend. Love your videos bro, never stop
This guy is a LEGEND. Subscribed!
I relate to the girl that couldn't avoid petting the cat on a spiritual level
Amazing video dude, you're so passionate about learning languages 10/10
I am so motivated...This is so cool to watch...more wins bro💪💪💪
I really like your video. It is inspirational! Thanks.
Parabéns Wouter, você é um cara bacana, continue o bom trabalho
"your korean is great too" LOL
Jaron ....I agree....it’s impressive
That was funny 😂

Learning languages is a beautiful thing to connect with others and show a loving respect. Went to a Japanese restaurant in Amsterdam, and the place was cash-only. I walked outside and found some French people my age and they didn’t speak English, so I used my best, broken French to ask where the ATM was. Nice guys. Amsterdam, I’ll be back. France, see you later!
Yes i'm Brazilain I try Talk portuguese, indonesian, Spanish, english and French but I need learn the languague of my bisanona: Italian😅
Oh wow I looove this! Inspiration for me to become polyglot! I know spanish and English... now Italian, Portuguese and French are my next languages I must conquer!
You very improved your level in speaking those languages and your conversation is much much better than in the past . Maybe one day you will speak all those languages every single one of them like it's your native language. Each and each language that you speak will improve with time .
You are brilliant man don't stop im vet envious of your talent. One of my wishes from a genie would be your great talent
I'm Vietnamese ^^ and i love the way you speak Vietnamese 😍😍😍
Your videos deserve way more views bro
You are my inspiration gracias
LOVE the switch to Japanese in the beginning. keep it up
Love your videos!
Cheers, happy to hear that :)
This makes me so happy! Love it!
happy to hear that!
Fantastic video 👍
Hearing Patois with your accent is such a trip hahah
Hola me llamo Sacha. Soy de Filipinas. Hablo inglés, tagalog, y español. Nakakatuwa itong video na 'to. Gusto ko rin matututo ng iba't-ibang lenguwahe gaya mo. Keep it up!
I've been thinking of learning new languages and you definetly inspired me. What have been the easiest ones to learn and what would you recommend trying to learn for first? Speaking finnish, swedish, german and english at the moment.
Amazing and inspirational !!!
Legend! greetings from Portugal
Wish i was as social as you are even though you dont speak all the languages that good approaching a language by speaking to natives is the best way for you to do so
The guy at 2:15 is amazing! He can speak French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Greek?!
I'm quite impressed with your Indonesian! nice (:
ben biraz türkçe biliyorum thank u man ı watched every video.U ARE PERFECT........
Hala ang galing marunong din sya mag tagalog...ahaha idol na din kita..parang si xiaoman at lingo Louis... Mga language polygot...gusto ko din matuto..
That Thai girl is Gorgeous
She is!
Yes he’s gorgeous
Totally! And she was really into him as well.
R Lihuak
lol memes
Probably a ladyboy
I was wondering Wouter about your perspective on speaking languages while never visiting the home country of that language.
You’re progressing really well Woulter! I recommend that you practice your Vietnamese and Thai more so it doesn’t sound as unnatural and robotic when you speak, but overall awesome job!
Thanks a lot. Maybe I should improve my Vietnamese, Korean and Japanese next years. I realize that I'm better in Mandarin and Tagalog.
This guy knows maybe 3/4 languages at a high level, and the rest are just a small set of phrases he has memorized. The remaining 18 or so languages are not at a very high level yet.
It's not necessarily that he's not at a high level with those languages, it could just be that it's hard to switch from so many different languages that you don't speak consistently enough for the switch to be easy.
That's all TH-cam polyglots
It’s just practice he needs that’s the key
@kwstas kwsta Italian was terrible! He didn't know the italian's basic grammar and pronunce was terrible too
@kwstas kwsta certo, ma se dice di sapere l'italiano deve dimostrarlo (forza bologna)
Parents from Indonesia, but can't speak Indonesian. Sad. Bahasa Indonesia is one of the most easiest language to learn. Anyway your Bahasa is on point Wouter,, keep up the good work. 👌
Well u can learn with me im from indonesia if u want
yeah, and plus, Wouter is a dutch which makes it even easier for him to learn Bahasa, cuz there are a lot of words that originated from Dutch.
I'm Brazilian and I recomend Brazilians learn bcoz the quantity of words of portuguese portuguese and english origin... selamat pagi...
That is so cool Bruh. We should all learn to speak at least 3 language because it helps us to connect. I only know polish, English and Spanish. Then I can understand Italian a little German but that's as far as I go.
deberías tener tu propia agencia de turismo change my mind
You should visit Playa del Carmen, Mexico, there are many nationalities , well It's expensive cross the ocean but it´d be great adventure.
With only 3 weeks learning Vietnamese, your Vietnamese is so good. I'm a Vietnamese but I think it's so difficult, especially in pronounce with foreigners.
As a brazilian I admit your portuguese sounds good, nice video, bro. Keep it up.
I love watching your videos, they`re such a motivation to me and I also think to alot of other people around the world, keep it up. :)
PS: I´m 15 years old and right now im speaking 5 languages, 3 of them fluent. Hast du irgendwelche Tipps, wie man freier mit Leuten in einer anderen Sprache reden kann ? Bei mir ist es nämlich so, dass ich, wenn ich übe eine gute Aussprache habe, aber wenn ich anfange mit anderen Menschen zu reden es mit schwer fällt die richtigen Vokabeln und Ausspracheregeln etc. perfekt anzuwenden.
Wie kommt man um diese Sprachbarriere herum und schafft es besser mit Fremden in einer anderen Sprache zu reden?
Greetings from Germany!
Im 14 and i speak 11 languages lol
English-- You are amazing bro . Spanish-- Mucho gusto para conocerle no hay palabras para describir sobre ti 😉😂 Hindi--- aap lajawab ho Bhai achha laga apse milke apka channel dekh ke. Portuguese -- bom dia amigo encantado 😉😉👌👌
ok wouter i have to admit that you are really good at speaking...i have a suggestion for you my friend...LEARN PERSIAN! its really Goooooooood...موفق باشی دوست عزیز
Literally says the same things every video, and when he cant comprehend, he throws in some random stuff that he memorized
Actually, that's how most of us communicate. The challenge is to learn a bit more from each encounter.
@@krane15 actually, his replies are incohesive to what speakers will say especially when they ask him something off-script. He uses memorized sentences in some bleak languages and not actual conversation
@@jedidazed3390 I got that. But you have to start somewhere, and this foundation will only get better with time. He also clearly states that he wants to practice and learn with native speakers, so he's not being disingenuous. Even though he may not be fluid in all those languages, some understanding is better than none. Knowing as much as he does, you can't help but admit its still an impressive feat.
Its not even easy to memorize stuff in another language. Thats his dedication , one day he would surely get better.
The variety of languages is a miracle indeed. Some people need them for survival reason, especially if one travels allot to different countries. It is fun to immerse in different cultures. However, I consider ability in a language is more than just memorizing common or selected words n phrases. Language competence is a complex set of skills. Therefore, most claims about language ability turn out to be an exaggeration.
I love going into a Restaurant and they are a different nationality than the food it is always interesting.
I am just a stupid American. I speak English poorly and just a little Tagalog (my wife is from the Philippines). You sir are amazing. I think this is one of the best ways to bring people together. It is much harder to hate when there is mutual understanding.
Your English is amazing!
Hoi Wouter! Als ik jou zie spreken, heb ik altijd zin om weer wat te gaan studeren. Ik zit momenteel aan 7 talen. Ik heb er nog wat te gaan als ik met jou wil spreken ;-)
Jag ska studera svenska nu :-) Hej då!
Such metropoles/ big cities like Amsterdam must be perfect for meeting people from worldwide and practise new languages (I only speak German, English and a bit Spanish, but I love Amsterdam and the Netherlands ;-))
Pro tip: When that Kuwaiti guy at the beginning said “inshallah,” it didn’t mean “sure.” It meant “yeah, that’s never gonna happen.”
Kayvon12321....bollocks. It means, if God wills. Or, God willing. Take your agenda elsewhere.
2eleven48 lol there’s no agenda. I’m just explaining the colloquial use of “inshallah”. Yes, literally it means “god willing”. But in every day speech it is used as a polite way of saying “I hope so”
@@2eleven48 Kayvon is right tho lmao.
2eleven48 the meaning he wanted to convert was it’ll never happen. The translation is god willing
2eleven48 “Bollocks”.. must be from the UK. Lol 😂- I’m from northern Minnesota, USA.
Aaa is beautiful quando você fala em português! I Love Brasil. Kiss de uma Brasileira. Acho muito lindo ser poliglota, mas também é muito complicado, eu não sei por onde começar.
that first french man reminded a lot of my mentor chef lmao
watching this makes me so happy idk why
You are amazing Wouter! I like your videos ^^ anyway If you want to improve your Chinese accent you should study Pinyin and first of all 4 tones! Honestly your 口音accent is really weird... I am a foreigner too and in 3 years I have got a good chinese accent! It wasn't easy but I am proud of it right now 😊 this is my advice, I hope you to improve your languages skill always more
(Anyway sorry for my bad English, I usually speak only Mandarin😅).
加油！～
Hindi, finally :) good work Wouter.
niiiceee try for arabic it was great!keep going!!!👍👍👍
Such an impressive thing man
hey nice to know that there are people out here that care about other languages..
maybe if you could expand and try learning some of the languages from the Pacific such as Fijian which is where im from
thai girl was cute brother
That girl was a brother*
Are you sure it’s a girl?)
@@CStrailer How do you know many Thai women have a dick?????
@@jeyabbasov7577 I can sure that was a girl. Because I'm Thai and I can see who is Female or who is Shemale. Not all girls in Thailand are shemale.
@@Luapneil 555 Okay na krap, rao law-len.
Just kidding
Don't know if Trinidadian English Creole materials available to learn, but I would like to c u try. "Waiz D scene" is one of many greetings..... thanks for the video
wow your tagalog is good ! nice
11:56 Wow, she´s absolutely beautiful! :0
Glen Atchison except shes probably not
Indonesia 🇮🇩 that is so good to hear you speak in bahasa, sorry for my english not so good at All, i wish i can speak any language like you
Heel Leuk 😅 i do speak 6 languagges, Albanian Italian Spanish English German a bit of Dutch, i do understand very good Portugues from Brazil, i can speak a bit, i am now learning Russian 😊
I wouldn't call yourself a polyglot, yet. You only know a few phrases in many languages. A true polyglot actually SPEAKS and UNDERSTANDS many languages.
"Did you sleep well?" haha
You inspire me to learn more languages but I have a question for you, you can study 4 at a time? because I learn english,french,italian and german and i speak spanish because I'm from México....
What could be interesting is you travelling to countries where you are fluent and making vlogs, giving people an insight into culture while speaking with locals.
I'm arab and your Arabic language soo cuute 😂😂❤️ keep going 👏
wow! that is so cool
This man is Genius! Sana all!
Это что-то невероятное просто. Парень, ты гений!)) Жирный лайк тебе, и удачи в освоении всех языков мира!)))
The Hebrew dude didn't say 'I'm a trainer', he said 'to dance'.
Thats good! :)
Wouter spreek je ook Esperanto? Zo ja, dan lijkt het me een leuke uitdaging om iemand op straat proberen te vinden die ook Esperanto spreekt en daar een gesprek mee aan te gaan.
He needs to do a video with Laoshu!!
Good job guy. Saudações do Brasil!
I like your videos 👍
Dude how smart are you?? this is incredible
Bro how do you do it? I want to learn 2 languages and is very hard, do you use a system or you are just a language savant😂, awesome man.
When he met A Filipino. He is a legit Polyglot. Im learning Korean nd it's been months but still stuck up at basica
how do you learn all of these mate? its awesome
I'm freaking out...with Thai accent..คุณดีจริงๆ!!👍
12:30 she’s so pretty!
Hello Polyglots, has anyone already expanded his vocabulary linguistically about series or generally gained experience with it. I had planned to watch two series in the evening with subtitles from next week on. Mainly for English and French. I'd be happy to hear about your experiences.
