Not_Snoop_Dogg But wouldn’t people who speak those languages be able to tell? His French, Chinese and Dutch are definitely real. He Japanese also sound like Japanese, so I doubt it is rubbish.
In Japnese I am anime school girl and in Korean I am kpop idol/actor that is polite af which is quite contrary to my english because I usually swear a lot lmao.
Nah to get an accent i just choose one person who ik speaks and then copy their accent when they speak Idk much mandarin but when i do know the words the pronunciation is perfect becuz i copied how my friends say it But now because all my friends are chinese, my english is starting to take on a chinese accent 😂 although it only comes out when i'm angry like normally there's no accent but then i rage and in like "WAH LAO WEI SHEN ME NI ZAI WAN ZHE GE YOU XI YING GAI SI DIAO LE" or some shit
My theory is it is just an extension of fitting into the tribe the language belongs to i.e. natural for self-preservation , kind of how your accent changes when you talk to home language speaker from a different city or location internationally. I do it in English when visiting Ireland wales or Scotland , its so subtle intially and only your family notice it at first (since they know what you actually sound like)
Damn, must be why it takes me so long to learn new languages, all my personalities are stuck in my mother tongue so all the extra languages I learn have to share the same one.
for the ones having not enough time: 1-gives you different personalities 2-worsens your first lang ?- you learn languages more easily ?-when you're tired languages get mixed 5-- dreams get weird languages mix up
@@dajourphil0soph3r36 well, I don't stay away, I feel like different languages are complementary as they require similar efforts such as memory, cognition, identification, differentiation etc so I guess sharpening those skills by learning a language will simultaneously be good for other languages that you are learning. Actually, except for the 2. effect (worse first lang) ı dont think any other effects are sgnificantly harmful compared to the gains you get by learning multiple langs. :)
My first language never really got worse. You just always use the wrong language subconsciously. Like I'll go to say something in to one of my friends in one language but it comes out in another cuz I just finished a Russian TV show or something. Once you start speaking it again it comes back and your brain readjusts to it. It's like playing a video game you haven't touched in a while. I went from destroying bosses in sekiro to taking tons of damage from regular enemies, and I kept hitting the wrong button to dodge because I'd been playing the witcher, but after like two deaths I fixed my grip, got used to the buttons, and wasn't getting hit by anything. I wouldn't say you're first language gets worse, nor do I think you ever forget how to speak it properly, you just get a bit rusty after not using it for a while, which is true for literally everything your brain does. Rest is pretty accurate. Like I exaggerate my speech so much in Japanese just because it's fun. Like instead of just saying "okaeri" when I'm talking to friends, I'll go "okaerinasaai". I also speak russian super informally as a joke because me and my friends find russian slang words really funny. One of my friends also always used to leave me voicemails and texts in really angry polish when he got drunk even though he knows I don't speak it lol
@@daddywampu9521 I mean, I only speak 4, but once you realize the common structure between languages, it's just so fascinating to see all the similar things together with the things that are unique for said language and also, as it was mentioned in the video, it gets easier the more languages you speak

@PaulBaumann80 I caught on to the grammar fairly quickly (it's basically reverse of English!). And I studied the alphabet daily for several weeks about a year ago but dropped off from that. I listen and speak Thai daily but I really need to get into a structured program as I want to become more fluent and also fluent in reading/writing.

Да, я думаю что это очень трудно, но по моему также веселее, чем говорить английский язык из-за того, что мне кажется, что это очень непоследовательный!
I once had a dream where I was speaking Japanese with some random people, and I knew a lot of the words I was saying, but . . . *I woke up and half the words I used, I had never even known of.*
3:51 American Police: "Ikenna, why did you punch this guy in the throat over a cigarette?" Ikenna: "I'm sorry, but I cannot be held legally accountable for it..." AP: "Why not? We have a witness." Ikenna: *"I was thinking in Russian"* AP: "WTF...okay, then you're free to go, have a nice day."
I'm Russian and once my mom woke me up to go to school and I being the sleepy head that I was said "five more minutes" in English. And then when I realized it I was like *ЧТО*
Lol When I speak chinese, I feel ghetto because that's how my mom sounds. When I'm speaking english, I feel very Californian because most of my friends are from San Diego. When I'm speaking Japanese, I feel like I'm the most polite person on earth.
Normally when I speak English (1st lang), French, and KoreanI sound like a grown man but when I speak Japanese and Chinese, I sound like a cat on helium😭😭😭
I'm so glad young people are getting interested in learning languages by themselves, i speak spanish and i'm learning english, portuguese, korean and chinese, the funniest one to learn is chinese. I want to speak as fluent as you someday. 😄🌼
That dream thing is basically; "Omg today when I woke up I was so confused that I couldn't remember my first language and I panicked and literally screamed 'But I don't even know how to speak French' in English. I'm German."
Ya'll in the comments. He grew up speaking English and was born and raised in the US. He didn't ask for the name he was given and the way he pronounced it was how he has always been pronouncing it.
Me too. I have been learning Russian ever since I was 11, and I´m almost 13 now. But I´m at an intermediate level now because of Pimselur and (coming soon to my house-) Assimil. So, please, just don´t give up and watch lots of TV.
OMG. This it so true. I'm from Russia, I speak 5 languages, I'm 15. Spanish, English, French, Russian and Chinese. I mean everything u said about mixing up languages, different personalities is so true :c
I feel that on a big level too, I speak Russian, English, Kazakh, Mongolia, and Spanish whenever I speak a language other than English I speak in the way people are perceived from that country
When i was little i was speaking hungarian but now i only speak romanian (my native language) and english, and i'm trying now to learn japanese i love the food and the anime and the yukatas and the people are beautiful and respectful
Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Macedonian, Montenegrin, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Russian, Spanish and English. Can understand Bulgarian and Italian. I also know "couple" of words from French, Norway, Polish. And yes, he speaks Russian nicely.
Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian and Montenegrin are all 1 same language with small differences. So if I was talking like that (come from Croatia) I'd be speaking all of those 4 as my FIRST language. Where are you from tho? Kako razumijes toliko jezika nasih hahahaha

Freezing yea do you have an email account set up on your phone? If so, you can go to the email that you received from the website that contains the download link and download it straight to your phone. :)
Is because of the complex grammar it has. I'm a native speaker and Spanish has a lot of different forms to describe the same thing in different times. Pretty hard to learn if you aren't a native or if you don't own a romantic language (French, Italian or Portuguese).
@Robbi Robson Yeah, that's because you never had a spanish class before, you don't know what a gramatic analysis is (in spanish, obviously), and knowing some words isn't knowing a language...
I subbed and bought the ebook. I'll update my progress on learning Arabic. I'm Egyptian but live in America. So I know very little Arabic. I was born in Chicago. The languages I want to learn are the following: Arabic Russian (it just sounds cool) Japanese Spanish (I'm also Hispanic) French That is what I'm focusing on now. Wish me luck and I hope you guys try to learn some new languages as well! 2/4/19 - bought the ebook and starting to read - Already doing the first few steps of the ebook (obviously I can't specify what the steps are lol) I honestly love the way he talks in the ebook. He is very comforting for someone who is trying to learn a language for the first time. He is very positive and I actually really enjoy the ebook. The programs he suggests are really great and even come with free trials and discounts just for us readers. Honestly, this guy is a great person and I do have faith in myself to learn Arabic! Yeah I gave up
Ok so I'm 13, half Czech and half French and I have no idea how I learned English??? Like I don't remember learning it, I just once realized I'm fluent. But I have a theory that when I was 9-10 I realized that I watched all of the Czech interesting (for me) content on youtube so I had to go find something new and even tho I was bad at English I started watching English videos and I guess my mind figured out how to fluently speak English on it's own after hearing and trying to read so much of it everyday for several hours for 1 year straight.
well done, my name-sake. Ikenna is an Igbo (Nigerian) name that means divine energy or god's power. Learning languages may have to do with being called Ikenna *winks*. I myself am trying to learn Yoruba, Swahili, Hausa and German. that is adding to Igbo that I already speak!
Brittany Ramone I taught myself German 2 years ago and constantly have dreams in German. Oddly enough it’s never both English and German in one dream. One or the other
When I speak Japanese I tend to find myself being really open and happy. But when I speak my native language English I'm really laid back and quite. I can completely understand were hes coming from about the personality part.
I feel you, I don't think I have personality changes, but my native language skills are declining as well, it's nice to know it's normal because sometimes I freak out when I try to say something in portuguese (mother language) and the word or expression keep poping in my mind in another idiom. Currently I speak 5 languages: portuguese, english, italian, spanish and german.
Props to you. you only spoke english and you managed to learn the 2 most difficult languages in the earth. chinese and russian! subscribed! big respect.
Chinese mandarin isn't as difficult as it seems, actually is a "logical" language so grammar is very simple, you just gotta memorize all the characters. Russian is more complicated (even for me, I'm russian) but the thing is that it has so many grammar rules... But also, Russian is a Slavic language, once you master it, other Slavic languages will get really easier for you to understand and learn.
@@user-wt4ey5nu9f just like latin speaker im french so its easier to learn spanish but yeah idk for slavic but french is pretty god damn hard i lesrned to speak english at 9 years old with video games and english is way easier than french
I am from România/ Moldova and I know romanian, russian and english. I am now learning french, and because I watch and LOVE anime, I also want to learn japanese. I love your channel and vids, even if I discovered it 2-3 days ago😍👍
I've actually been studying how multilingual people lose their native language, and what seems to be the most common issue is that you now have so many words to say "door" that your brain takes longer making sure it picks the English one (or whatever the native language may be). Then you get uncomfortable because you think you're forgetting English, so your attempts to speak in your mother tongue get more awkward as a result.
Ohhh that makes sense. That’s been happening to my dad with his Spanish, because even when he talks to his family I notice he uses English words in an accent
U should learn Spanish it is a lot more useful in America, but good video Edit : I wasn’t trying to diss him at all what he has done at his age is impressive
CrimsonKnightmare Sorry i haven't learned the kanji jet, plus even i have learned already i can't write it with my phone cuz my keyboard does not have the japanese language😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 i want to buy Huawei Mate20 pro it just have been released in my country i wonder if it has japanese language??😮😮😮😮 i have a Huawei but an older version plus it makes amazing pictures😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I am a bilingual Hip-Hop artist. I can relate to this speaking/writing in only 2 languages. The more I dive deeper into both languages simultaneously, it makes my personality rather juxtaposing and intricate. I have SO MANY personas sometimes I have a tough time understanding which one is the “true” me. But all in all though, it’s a pride to be privileged with multiple languages. Especially being able to incorporate them all into an art form. Stay rad, bro. 🤘
You can see in your eyes how tough it has been learning all these languages, overloading your brain with information must be hard but not in vain as look at all the things you can do! Proud of you! blood, sweat and tears but you've provided us to make our lives oh so much easier when we want and will learn new languages, we can't thank you enough for this. Thank you Ikenna. I honor your work and everything you've put into it. You inspire us all.
I speak russian, japanese, swedish and english. His japanese isn’t bad, he has a good accent but sometimes makes grammar mistakes but quickly corrects himself. His russian is also good, actually better than mine! I’m born in russia but raised in Sweden so unfortunately swedish have made me speak with an accent in russian (not other languages tho... weirdly). Don’t doubt this guy! It’s amazing that he learnt all these languages to the level he’s at!
This ... Was so inspiring. I'm 25 and learning Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and sign language. I want to learn French, German and Hindi too but I honestly feel like I'm doing to much. I find it hard to take my time which is definitely a big reason why I'm struggling lmbo. I'ma check that book out. I'm really glad I ran across this video
oh my god. I speak three languages (Portuguese, English and French), and I totally relate to you! When speaking Portuguese, I am just myself. A quiet, simple person. When speaking English, I am British intelectual and romantic person. When speaking French, I am a very serious and sometimes rude old woman hahaha. Sometimes I end up mixing the three languages and inventing some kind of weird dialect.
Angie Ordóñez that’s awesome!! Korean and Japanese are really similar in grammar structure so if you learn one you can easily transition into the other! Since you know Chinese, learning Japanese first might be a little easier because Japanese uses Kanji (Chinese Characters) - although some characters’ meanings are different some are similar or same. For example Shugorei 守護霊 guardian means protector in Chinese! Just to give you a starter in both languages- Korean has one alphabet, Japanese has 3 (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji- Hiragana for Japanese characters, Katakana for Foreign characters for example アメリカ amerika (america)), and Kanji is Chinese characters). Arguably Japanese is a more difficult language but since you are familiar with Chinese it may be easier for you. Good luck!
Ninjask Is Bae I want to study there my master degree. And even though people speaks very well English there, I like to connect with people in their own language and learn more about their culture.
So I know a bit of German and have been studying it for a while and watched Dark... and Dutch sounds SO SIMILAR you could’ve told me it was German and I’d believe you. Like how Spanish sounds so similar to Portuguese.
Welcome to the polyglot community. You inspire me to continue on my languages. I'm currently at (4) languages. Spanish,English, Tagalog, Vesayan. Much like your accents changing, mine do too. However, the strange thing about mine is that I'm able to mimic my accents accordingly to the style the person I'm speaking to. It'll usually stick around for a while before i adjust to myself, and its not something i have control over either, it just kicks in depending on my surroundings.
I tried learning French in school but I had a teacher I disliked and that ruined it for me. I'm going to drop it after this year and learn Japanese on my own.
I understand that when the teacher is mean it ruins the whole experience of learning a new language but you mustn’t give up I u really like French then try and focuse on the stuff you like in the language and if you actually continue learning the language then be prepared for the hardest grammar classes you will ever have to learn
Holy shitttttt your Japanese is fucking sick! Doesn’t even sound like it’s coming from you I speak English and Spanish rn and learning French and Japanese currently bc I’ve always wanted to go to japan since I was ab 11 and love anime and French just sounds cool and I feel like a really smart criminal speaking it
I totally can get behind that! the personality change is real and the vocabulary loss is too... My mother tongue is Geman, next was Serbian, then englisch in school, next french and Latin (though I stopped cause our teacher retired) and I also lern Japanese and stared Chinese this yeah (buut couldn‘t continue for now, I will though!) I‘m not sure if I experienced the dream thing though... can‘t remember my dreams well xD what I noticed for myself is: I differentiate between Languages I can think in, means, I don‘t first think in german and translate to it, but actually immediately start thinking in that language, which is German and Serbian, maybe english too sometimes and the ones I usually „have to translate“ how is that for you!

Is because of the complex grammar it has. I'm a native speaker and Spanish has a lot of different forms to describe the same thing in different times. Pretty hard to learn if you aren't a native or if you don't own a romantic language (French, Italian or Portuguese).

Ok so I'm 13, half Czech and half French and I have no idea how I learned English??? Like I don't remember learning it, I just once realized I'm fluent.
But I have a theory that when I was 9-10 I realized that I watched all of the Czech interesting (for me) content on youtube so I had to go find something new and even tho I was bad at English I started watching English videos and I guess my mind figured out how to fluently speak English on it's own after hearing and trying to read so much of it everyday for several hours for 1 year straight.
Half of English is French, with slightly modified pronunciation.

I feel you, I don't think I have personality changes, but my native language skills are declining as well, it's nice to know it's normal because sometimes I freak out when I try to say something in portuguese (mother language) and the word or expression keep poping in my mind in another idiom.
Currently I speak 5 languages: portuguese, english, italian, spanish and german.

Props to you. you only spoke english and you managed to learn the 2 most difficult languages in the earth. chinese and russian! subscribed! big respect.
Skeleton u really ditched Arabic 😪
Mandarin has been thought to be the hardest
Chinese mandarin isn't as difficult as it seems, actually is a "logical" language so grammar is very simple, you just gotta memorize all the characters. Russian is more complicated (even for me, I'm russian) but the thing is that it has so many grammar rules... But also, Russian is a Slavic language, once you master it, other Slavic languages will get really easier for you to understand and learn.
@@user-wt4ey5nu9f just like latin speaker im french so its easier to learn spanish but yeah idk for slavic but french is pretty god damn hard i lesrned to speak english at 9 years old with video games and english is way easier than french
Umm the reason Chinese is hard is just because of the writing system. The spoken language itself is so simple grammatically.

I've actually been studying how multilingual people lose their native language, and what seems to be the most common issue is that you now have so many words to say "door" that your brain takes longer making sure it picks the English one (or whatever the native language may be). Then you get uncomfortable because you think you're forgetting English, so your attempts to speak in your mother tongue get more awkward as a result.
Ohhh that makes sense. That’s been happening to my dad with his Spanish, because even when he talks to his family I notice he uses English words in an accent

I am a bilingual Hip-Hop artist. I can relate to this speaking/writing in only 2 languages.
The more I dive deeper into both languages simultaneously, it makes my personality rather juxtaposing and intricate. I have SO MANY personas sometimes I have a tough time understanding which one is the “true” me.
But all in all though, it’s a pride to be privileged with multiple languages. Especially being able to incorporate them all into an art form.

oh my god. I speak three languages (Portuguese, English and French), and I totally relate to you!
When speaking Portuguese, I am just myself. A quiet, simple person. When speaking English, I am British intelectual and romantic person. When speaking French, I am a very serious and sometimes rude old woman hahaha. Sometimes I end up mixing the three languages and inventing some kind of weird dialect.
I’m a native Spanish speaker. I learned English and Chinese. I’m currently studying Dutch and I would like to learn Korean and Japanese.
Angie Ordóñez that’s awesome!! Korean and Japanese are really similar in grammar structure so if you learn one you can easily transition into the other! Since you know Chinese, learning Japanese first might be a little easier because Japanese uses Kanji (Chinese Characters) - although some characters’ meanings are different some are similar or same. For example Shugorei 守護霊 guardian means protector in Chinese! Just to give you a starter in both languages- Korean has one alphabet, Japanese has 3 (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji- Hiragana for Japanese characters, Katakana for Foreign characters for example アメリカ amerika (america)), and Kanji is Chinese characters). Arguably Japanese is a more difficult language but since you are familiar with Chinese it may be easier for you. Good luck!
As a Dutch speaker. Why Dutch?
angie, as a dutch speaker im learning spanish, you got skype or something maybe we could exchange languages
Ninjask Is Bae I want to study there my master degree. And even though people speaks very well English there, I like to connect with people in their own language and learn more about their culture.
DragonSkaterrr I don’t use Skype much, sorry. But I recommend you HelloTalk and Tandem app. I sometimes use it to practice speaking.
So I know a bit of German and have been studying it for a while and watched Dark... and Dutch sounds SO SIMILAR you could’ve told me it was German and I’d believe you. Like how Spanish sounds so similar to Portuguese.
Welcome to the polyglot community. You inspire me to continue on my languages. I'm currently at (4) languages. Spanish,English, Tagalog, Vesayan. Much like your accents changing, mine do too. However, the strange thing about mine is that I'm able to mimic my accents accordingly to the style the person I'm speaking to. It'll usually stick around for a while before i adjust to myself, and its not something i have control over either, it just kicks in depending on my surroundings.
I tried learning French in school but I had a teacher I disliked and that ruined it for me. I'm going to drop it after this year and learn Japanese on my own.
I understand that when the teacher is mean it ruins the whole experience of learning a new language but you mustn’t give up I u really like French then try and focuse on the stuff you like in the language and if you actually continue learning the language then be prepared for the hardest grammar classes you will ever have to learn

Omg yes the personality change is SO ACCURATE wow.
I totally can get behind that! the personality change is real and the vocabulary loss is too... My mother tongue is Geman, next was Serbian, then englisch in school, next french and Latin (though I stopped cause our teacher retired) and I also lern Japanese and stared Chinese this yeah (buut couldn‘t continue for now, I will though!) I‘m not sure if I experienced the dream thing though... can‘t remember my dreams well xD what I noticed for myself is: I differentiate between Languages I can think in, means, I don‘t first think in german and translate to it, but actually immediately start thinking in that language, which is German and Serbian, maybe english too sometimes and the ones I usually „have to translate“ how is that for you!
