When I saw four languages instead of fifteen in the title I finally believed that someone can actually speak these four languages and not only say 1-2 sentences and claim to speak certain language fluently lol
I take speaking four langugaes at a decent level over speaking only some bits in 15 languages.
@@samykiani944 I guess it depends why you're learning languages. For some poeple it might be more valuable to know how to say "hello" in every languages in the world rather than being fluent in a few languages.
It is so interesting how one’s personality “changes” after switching languages. You’re very cute in Italian. Your French is also good. You sound also good in Portuguese. I would believe if you told me you were born in Lisbon (Brazilian Portuguese is my native language). I’m learning Hebrew and Croatian now.
Thanks! Yes - this is such an interesting point about how your personality changes! It never changes completely, but I'm far more likely to act a certain way through the things I say in some languages over others - of course I notice it most in Italian. For me I think it has something to do with the main person/circumstances you learn the language in :) Wow! what an interesting mix of languages - good luck!
Se voce quiser praticar português posso te ajudar e voce me ajudar com o seu ingles!
Bravissima, that's amazing. The main difference I can see when you speak foreign languages it's your hand gestures, like a real italian :)
Im bosnian and its pretty much the same as croatian and serbian except the accent is a bit diffrent and some of the grammar is diffrent!!
Are you from Lisbon?
Brava. Don't give up, one day your english will be at the same level of your italian....
😂😂😂 a girl can dream! 😉
O teu Português está muito bom. Continua assim é brevemente serás fluente! 😊
Muito obrigada Patricia 😄😍 espero que sim!!!
I am learning Portuguse and I really love this language
Sim, nota-se que está a um nível ainda médio, mas com o tempo chega lá. Qualquer dica estou disponível para ajudar.
For the Italian part
You can say "che il francese", it's correct (I think you weren't sure about it)
And "cambiare *da* una lingua" not "di"
Your Italian is really good btw :D
Damn prepositions 😉 Thank you!
Omg your Italian accent is gorgeous👌 it sounds so melodic, has a nice rhythm to it
😍 thank you so much!
You should learn Spanish too, it's beautiful! :)
Florian H. Wave I learn Spanish from home without teacher, and I like it :)
She already knows Portuguese, Italian and French so this means she can understand Spanish.
@@williamjames4031 If you learn 1 you understand all basically 🤣
@@emanuelfer456 Nope, I know French but I cannot understand Portuguese nor Italian nor Spanish. In the future, I may learn either Portuguese or italian.
@@williamjames4031 for me as native Portuguese, it was pretty easy to learn Italian, french and Spanish. Maybe i understand about the opposite not being true because Portuguese is hard to understand and speak but it's interesting that for us it's easy to understand the other languages
Ton français est vraiment très bien! Ne doutes pas de toi, les gens qui se moquaient de toi pendant ton stage étaient jaloux!
Je vis et j'étudie en Angleterre à Brighton et j'ai commencé un petit business en ligne pour devenir nomade digitale comme toi! Je touche au but et j'ai hâte d'apprendre plein de langues comme toi!
Continues comme ça, c'est toujours un plaisir de regarder tes vidéos :)
Merci Angélique! C’est vraiment un plaisir de parler avec les autres personnes qui choisissent un mode de vie pareille, et j’apprécie bien tes mots aimables 😍 Bon courage pour ton business! C’est quel type de business? Je suis bien curieuse 😄
C'est une boutique sur Etsy ou je vends de la papeterie de mariage éditable par le client. Je crée les produits, invitations, programmes, pancartes, etc..., et les clients éditent et impriment de chez eux! Comme ça, pas de soucis d'envoi et de stock, et je peux gérer tout ça de n'importe où :)
J'ai pour but de devenir nomade digital d'ici un an/un an et demi, quand j'aurai fini ma dernière année d'étude et que le business sera bien solide, alors en attendant, je regarde tes aventures et j'apprends :)
Ahh wow! C’est une bonne idée. Moi je ne réussissais pas à commencer mon travail de freelancer quand j’étais encore à l’université, c’était un peu trop pour moi - donc félicitations, vraiment! Et bon courage 💪🏻🙌🏻
Your skills are SO impressive. Keep doing what you do!!
I thought it was so interesting that even though I can't say hardly anything in Italian, my Spanish (C1) and French (B2) made it so that I could understand probably 80% of what you said in Italian.
It's so exciting to see other people who love languages and culture :) You rock
Thanks Quinn! That's really kind. Yes, once you start to learn romance languages, if you can get your head around the pronunciation of another one, it means you can really start to understand it! I'm sure you'd have very little trouble picking up Italian - the only annoying thing is getting words/grammatical structures mixed up. Keep practising your languages, and you're right: it's a great way to learn about different cultures! :)
If you know one of the romance languages, when reading you can guess a lot of what is said in any of the other romance languages, because the grammar is very similar.
I am BLOWN AWAY. By your talent, your accents in also these languages...mine is definitely so shit in French compared to yours girl! Love this video so much so fascinating
à la Parisienne it’s not talent it’s work💯
Aww thanks, lovely :) I always love your little French comments in your videos!
This was like watching the same person changing to 4 nationalities in 10 min... amazing 👏🏼 your Portuguese pronunciation is super good even though you are not fluent yet
That's really kind, thank you Lucia! Your comment has put a big smile on my face 😀
Emily Stoker you’re welcome glad it did ☺️ keep up with your work! greetings from Spain :)
I totally agree with you. She is great
I'm 17
I can speak Arabic(native speaker), French, English and Spanish.
That’s pretty cool! When I was 17 I was probably an intermediate at French, and that’s about it :)
I'm 17 too but I only speak English, Spanish. My French is at an intermediate level
@@octaviorivera1661 Im 17 too, Im Mexican, and I speak Spanish, English, and Romanian, Im learning French now (A2 level)
I am pretty sure you're Tunisian then 😁
I’m 20 and I can speak Arabic ,English,French ,Spanish
I actually find it really hard to switch from a language thats not my native language, to a language that I have a lower level in that's also not my native language. I feel like the stronger language interferes with the weaker one. Cool video btw! :D
Yes, me too! The first times I tried speaking French when I was in Italy, for example, I was shocked at how Italian with a French accent was coming out of my mouth even though I was trying hard to speak in French. I've improved a bit now, but I can always speak a language best when I've been immersed in it for a few days! :) Thanks for your comment - looks like you're a fellow polyglot, thanks for stopping by :D
Yup, I'm a fellow polyglot! Anytime and keep up the good work :)
I sometimes have the feeling that the weaker also interferes with the stronger one. Sometimes when I try to form a Spanish sentence only a Russian word comes to mind and the other way around.
I think that mostly depends on how similar the languages are.
I'm currently learning chinese through english, and I won't see how I could mistake english and chinese since they're completly different languages.
I also plan to learn italian through spanish (in fact I already started and spent a few hours on this, but might as well consider it at not started yet since it's just the begining and chinese takes priority atm). And I can see how I'd confuse the 2, since the basic grammar of these 2 languages is mostly the same.
Você falou em todas as línguas muito bem. Português é minha língua nativa, e estou aprendendo agora Inglês, Francês e Italiano, além de Espanhol e Coreano. Recomendo que você aprenda também Espanhol, que é muito semelhante ao Português e ao Italiano!
I’m learning French by myself and I think I’m somewhere between A1-A2 level but I’m so happy that I could understand like 90% of what you said in the video😊
Yay! Félicitations :)
If you understand 90% you must be very close to B1.
Samy Kiani But when I listen to native speakers it doesn’t feel the same, I had a real hard time figuring out what they said haha. I guess it’s because she speaks quite slowly and clearly in this video that’s why it’s easier for me to understand her
@@tishigtuoi That's because us native speakers contract words more often than you'd hear in english for example, and we use a lot of slang that isn't taught when you're learning the language.
Like idk if you ever heard of "verlan", but that's used daily, especially by the younger generations. And verlan is quite a challenging concept you guys will have to wrap your head around to be able to recognize the words that are said and figure out if the "verlan" 'ed words has the same meaning as the original one (and for the most part, they do), or if they don't. It's so engrained in the language now that I think it should be taught a lot earlier to french learners.
I could listen to Portuguese all day. The language is like music
Are you Portuguese?
I speak Brazilian Portuguese and that accent from Portugal makes it sound like a whole different language
Amazing ☺️ I wish I could speak four languages. I’d like to learn Italian + Norwegian this year. I wish the uk’s education system pushed for multi-lingualism like continental Europe. Pls include more language content on this channel :))
I would have loved to be able to learn more languages at school! Ooh exciting - Norwegian sounds like fun, very different from any of the languages that I’ve learned.
And thanks so much for the feedback! I’ll certainly think about more ways I can incorporate more language content - I’m totally open to suggestions! 😄
Emily Stoker Maybe you can make videos about how you learn languages bc to some people, especially those raised in monolingual countries, it’s an alien concept.
Like the process you take, the grammar + exercise books you recommend, tips to practice your accent (even if that’s just a 2 min vid), how you learn + remember vocabulary, how you get your head around tricky sentence formations or certain verbs, ermm reccomendations on books/music/films/podcasts/ in x language. I’d love to see things like that :-).
Emily Stoker ooh also random question but do you find that you can now access insider knowledge about certain cultures due to knowing the language?
For an example, i’d like to learn Italian to be able to read Italian cookbooks & food blogs to learn how to cook Italian meals from natives/from the source. If I learnt Italian fluently from a young age, I would have liked to gone to an Italian university to study Italian architecture as I’m absolutely in love with Italian + classical architecture.
Thanks for the suggestions!
You definitely get "insider knowledge" on a culture when you can communicate with the people in their mother tongue! It's often the little details in a culture that someone from the country might not even think to tell you, because they don't realise how specific it is to their culture, that you pick up on from speaking to people! I learned more about Italian cooking from watching and helping my Italian friends cook than I did from reading books/watching TH-cam videos about it :)
You inspire me so much. I speak English, Portuguese, and some Spanish. I want to pick up Italian too. I just want to say that I am Portuguese American and your Portuguese is AMAZING!!!!! Keep practicing and you’ll be speaking like a native speaker. You just motivated me to get serious about Italian.
Wow! Thanks for your kind message, Elizabeth. It really made me smile 😊 good luck with your italian! I recently filmed a languages tips video which I’ll publish in the next few weeks. Keep up the practise, and just find someone you can speak with. That was the most fun way for me 😊😊😊 in boca al lupo!
What part of Portugal do you come from originally?
Thanks for sharing!
Your story is impressive and hopefully will poke me to get back into studying Italian myself again
There is much still to learn but it's good to have a glimpse of the possibilities of persistence.
That’s cool! Yes, Italian is a lot of fun. I think studying languages when you love the culture always makes it easier ;)
I think studying in a way that feels right to you rather than how you think you SHOULD study is important too :)
Sis, recommend you try one Asian language (do pay attention to the writings). All four languages you speak are European, highly correlated. I am fluent in Chinese, English, Spanish and Bahasa Indonesia-Melayu and living in four different countries, thanks to my international trading job. Got an assignment in W.Africa. Guess need to kick off French learning soon.
¡Hola! Que interesante, me encanta cuando tu hablas italiano, portugués y francés😍 no entiendo mucho cuando tu hablaste francés pero cuando tu hablaste italiano y portugués lo entiendo un poco más :) soy de noruega y puedo hablar inglés, noruego y español❤️ o ahora aprendo español ahaha he aprendido español por 2 años pronto, y es difícil todavía pero estaré más fácil a todo días❤️
Do you ever get your languages mixed?
I probably did in this video 😂 yes, I think I’m better at catching it in Italian & French, but I’m still fairly clueless with Portuguese 😜
This level in three closely related Latin languages looks great to British people but tbh there are SO many people in continental Europe now who can do this and don't even consider it as any kind of party trick. I met a Czech guy who'd been in Spain and married to a Spaniard for eleven years who discussed in perfect English the relative qualities of two 500cc Japanese bikes like a professional bike reviewer and when I asked how his English was so good he just shrugged "Everyone speaks English, I guess it's no biggie these days"
I speak danish (native), enlish (basic fluency) and german (A2-ish) and then i just picked up spanish (A1) :) languages have just begun last year to be something i am really passionate about and that i spend a lot of time with.
Nunca mais falo inglês contigo. Só português! Estás a ir muito bem. Beijinhos
😬 hehehe obrigada! Continuo a praticar. Beijinhos 😘
Caramba, se ela me falasse que era portuguesa eu iria acreditar. Parece muito o sotaque de uma nativa de Portugal.
realmente
13:04 I agree, these things are amazing ♥
Amazing! Your Italian is really good :) I'm currently studying Russian and French, hopefully in a few months I'll be able to speak 4 languages as well
Hi I’m planning on moving abroad next year! Your videos have been very helpful ❤️
I have so many things to say about this video that I don't even know if you'll have the patience to read everything. lol
But let's do it anyway!
1) I really loved your video. I always enjoy watching videos of polyglots and how they are able to just "switch" from one language to another. I am not one of them so I needed to read the subtitles to understand what you were saying, but you sounded so natural in all of the languages you spoke. Maybe you have some accent and a native can notice right off the bat but I don't see any reason to people make any kind of fun of you because of it. I bet that most of them don't know how to speak four languages. It's really impressive.
2) I am a native Portuguese speaker, but I'm from Brazil, which makes your accent really different than mine. Nevertheless, I was perfectly able to understand everything you've said in Portuguese. Which means that you don't have a "heavy" accent. It's funny because I met some Portuguese people who I couldn't be able to understand a single word they were saying (crazy, isn't? The same language but because of the speed and the accent that were really heavy I needed to ask for them to repeat exhaustively). In your video, though, I was perfectly able to understand you!
3) I don't speak English fluently (yet), but I'm at a pretty advanced level. However, I usually have some difficulty to understand the English/British accent because I'm way more used to the American accent. But, again, in your video, I understood everything you said in English without any subtitles. Your speech is just so clear that it makes easy to understand.
4) You are so inspirational because as a native Portuguese speaker I feel that languages like Spanish and Italian are not that hard for me to understand. I say that because there were some parts where you were speaking in Italian and I could understand even without subtitles. This makes me want to learn those languages, you know? And, I might be wrong, but I kinda feel that sooner or later Spanish is going to be the next one for you! hahaha
Which leads me to one question: as a polyglot do you think it's better to learn a language and master it before learning another one? I really wanted to learn Spanish, French and Italian but I don't feel that I should try it until I really master English (which is my priority at the moment).
*I promise I'm finishing*
I don't know if you are interested, but I recently posted on my channel my first video speaking in English. It would make me really happy to see some feedback coming from you. That's all! I apologize for that unfinishable comment! hahaha
Hi Rafael, thank you for taking the time to leave such a long comment! I promise I appreciate it and read it all :)
This is true - when I was teased about my languages I did not speak 4, but these are perhaps the little bad memories I can really start to let go of now ;)
And I know what you mean about Brazilian and European Portuguese. My boyfriend has Brazilian friends who had real trouble understanding his Porto accent when they first met. I'm still a beginner in Portuguese, but I'm learning so much about the huge changes in accent and even grammar between the two versions of the language.
Yes - I think once you learn one romance language (particularly if you are a native) it's going to help you so much in learning another one, to the point where you can even understand the language at times without having ever learned it! THat's why I'm progressing the way I am with Portuguese with relatively little effort I would say :P and yes - I'm fairly certain Spanish will feature somewhere down the road for me, too!
To answer your question, I think it really depends. Getting to 80% fluency is the hardest, and you're going to put in just as much effort, if not more, to reach that final 20%, so I would really recommend not obsessing over it, and it's fine to pick up a new language at this point. Especially since from your written English, you sound VERY proficient to me.
And yes - I will check out your video and leave you a comment! :D Thanks again, and have a great day :)
Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback, Emily. Não só por aqui, mas também no meu vídeo. Estou te respondendo desta vez em português que é para ajudar um pouquinho a praticar seus hábitos de leitura (não que você precise, mas é sempre bom).
É engraçado que encontrei seu vídeo por acaso, mas já me tornei fã graças a ele. Espero, sinceramente, acompanhar cada vez mais seu progresso no português em vídeos futuros, mas também aprender um pouquinho das demais línguas e das culturas dos países que você visita. Espero um dia poder ter o privilégio de conhecer a Europa, mas enquanto isso não é possível você o faz por mim! :)
Ah, e talvez isso possa soar muito "íntimo" pra você, mas brasileiros costumam se despedir com mensagens de afeto. Por isso, beijos! :)
Anyone else not getting the subtitles in the different languages?
Ton Français est très bon! Tu juste as besoin de pratiquer plus. Moi j'peux parler 4 langues aussi, je parle français, Créole haïtien (c'est un "Pidgin" du français), anglais et espagnol. Bonne chance! 😃
Hello ,I am a native arabic / french speaker I fluently speak english, how do you manage to remember the vocabulary in many language and also the spealing?
With difficulty 😂 I find that after some time exposed to a language (e.g. if I visit France/Italy again, or even watch a film) a lot of it comes back. But that’s why I still have some problems switching quickly between the languages, because the vocab is often so similar that I get mixed up.
Practise is the best thing, I think, through writing and reading and listening, but being immersed in the language is the best thing for really ‘topping up’ on a language 😉
Awesome video, tbh I was surprised when you started speaking well my language cuz most of the british don´t actually care much about portuguese or italian but usually start to learn spanish because it´s more influential on the world market, if you will . And as a brazilian I gotta say your portuguese is perfect. J'aime votre français, vraiment. C'était simplement incroyable et je pense que vous parlez cette langue couramment. Continua assim, teu sotaque está bem parecido com o português de Portugal, mesmo, e, pelo que eu percebi, não cometeste nenhum erro, motivação total para os outros poliglotas haha
Btw, congratulations, you got a new sub :D
I want your help please: my question is how i can learn two or three languages both in the same time. And how can i manage it
Your portuguese and your italian are great! Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷💕
Thanks, Giovana! 😄
I actually think that a non-native person can't reach the level of a native person. I'm Italian, and I think that your italian is pretty good, but it doesn't sound like a native italian! It's so strange, it has been months that I have been studying and speaking english, and I can't actually speak like an English or American person (I'm talking about the pronunciation) . Keep learning italian!
Yes I completely agree. And it's usually agreed that to be able to describe yourself as a native speaker you need to be immersed in the language from a very young age. That's why I describe myself as fluent, and not native :) it's very difficult to get the pronunciation just right as an adult, but I don't think that should stop you from enjoying the language, and it certainly won't stop you from communicating well. Buona continuazione con il tuo inglese! :D
@@EmilyStoker thx you too!
You French is so so good ..I dream speaking English like you.....and your accent is beautiful
as tu des astuces pour réussir à rouler les "r" en italien ? Je suis Française et c'est difficile !
en tout cas ton français est très bon :)
Merci! Oui, les « r » en chaque semble poser des difficultés ! Personnellement je ne réussissait pas de tout à rouler les r en italien. Je persistais pendant 2 ans presque chaque jour à créer le son (avant d’étudier l’italien en fait, j’avais 12-14 ans) et un jour j’ai réussit ! Je te le jure... c’était pas facile, mais cherche des techniques différentes et continue à pratiquer - c’est bien possible!! 😄😄😄 (quand encore je ne réussissais pas, je faisais un r roulé « faux » en faisant le son « d » très vite. Il est difficile d’expliquer, peut être je peux faire un vidéo en future again de l’expliquer mieux 😊 bon courage!!)
Emily, you have a great talent, really you do! Amazing! Not to detract from you incredible skill but I would love to see you venture out of your Latin comfort zone and have a go at some languages from outside that group to find your true potential.
I hope you do not see this as a criticism, it’s not! You are brilliant at what you have so much potential in areas that you have yet to explore! 😊
Thank you, Robby for your lovely comment! Yes, I was actually wondering the other day what other languages outside of the Latin family I might be interested in studying... I’m sure a new language group would be a completely new challenge with completely different rules and patterns 😊
Emily Stoker - I would recommend Dutch, Swedish, German, or Norwegian for a Germanic language, or Finnish for whatever language group Finnish is a part of.
Mi peace molto la tua pronuncia in Italiano, "ascoltare la musica", mia cugina vive a Padova. Ho imparato italiano per 3 mesi e è molto facile
@Ollie Martinelli haha, è vero ma si impari tedesco è un saco più difficile di italiano
This is inspiring! I grew up bilingual (American English and Mexican Spanish) and I am currently trying to master Italian! I love the country and the culture (I'd say I'm upper intermediate.) My next goal is Portuguese (I don't know which one yet). These romance languages are beautiful and interesting to me so of course I'd like to learn French and perhaps Romanian. 😁
I've learned to not be afraid or shy to speak! That's how you learn!
Awesome!
Brava, I do speak Italian, Spanish, English and now I'm learning Brazilian Portuguese and I love it 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙈🙈, good job Girl 🙌🏽🎉🎉👏🏽👏🏽.
Tu parle beaucoup des langues!
Sua pronúncia em português é ótima, continue estudando e você avançará muito!
My story because you asked for it:
I am a native Dutch speaker. It's my mother tongue and I don't think I will ever lose it. My dialect, Limburgish, is also sort of a language of it's own. We will put it between brackets for now, because it's not an official language. Next, as you can read, I'm fluent in English. I realised that not speaking English in a connected world is like gonna make my life impossible, so I practiced and practiced and practiced. Because I live at the border with Germany, I had German classes for 4 years. My listening is very good, my speaking is okay and my writing needs some practice (especially German grammar, help!). Since November, I've been practicing Spanish. It's the world's 2nd language after Mandarin Chinese, and not many people realise that. I am internationally minded and I NEED myself to know Spanish for Latin/South American countries.
Side note: I am 17, so I hope to learn 1-2 more languages
Impressive! Very well done! I don't speak these languages, but you sound definitely fluent in all of them. I learned so far 3 languages (English, German, Hebrew) besides my mother tongue (Hungarian) and I would love to speak all the languages on Earth!(-: Good luck with the Portuguese!
I’m a native french speaker, your french is really good, of course the pronounciation could be better but there are almost no grammar mistakes which is quite tough in french (even for us lmao)
I learned english mostly by myself (at school it helped a bit as well but mostly from the internet), I also learned german for 12 years at school (but somehow I still can’t make a sentence fluently), and finally italian by myself as well (tho it could be improved by far)
I’m now learning swedish because I’ll be going there on holiday, and Finnish because I find it nice.
Would love to learn more languages like portugese, dutch (mostly for flemish in belgium), maybye a slavic language too but I don’t have time for all that x)
So your boyfriend was Italian? How it is dating an Italian? What's your experience?
Lei e molto brava! I know sach is difficult at start. Ma poi tutto saro piu facile.Let me advice to you to start learning greece language. I'm shure you'll get a lot of pleasure. Good luck! Мой родной язык русский, если что.
You should consider studying Catalán! It is a Romance language and a great mixture between Spanish and French!
I’m 20 and I can speak Arabic,English,French,Spanish and I did understand all that you’ve said in Italian and just a little bit of Portuguese cuz it’s so close to Spanish
I’m learning French at school and I’ve been learning for about three years now. I was able to understand 70% of what you said. Your French is very good. Also, is very easy to understand you in French and English. Good work!!
If Anyone wants to pratice Portuguese(BRA) and help me to improve my English. Let me know
You are very nice and cute! Keep up the GREAT WORK! But I am sorry to say that polyglots are people that know 5 or more languages) I am really sorry but 4 doesn't count. Maybe now after 2 years, you learned another language:)
I am impress, really, the Italian was the best, second the French and the Portuguese need a little more work, I could understand but you will need the help from your boyfriend (the Portuguese accent was very nice)
I studied 4 years of Russian and 2 years of ancient Gree k, but it has been some 20 years since then. I have been studying German, Spanish, and French on my own now. I started the Summer Language Club with my grandchildren, and we are having a great time on Zoom. We started this by having Russian tea every week. That was mostly culture. I am hoping to do more language with them.
As a portuguese girl, I must say I loved your portuguese accent, congratulations :)) all the other accents sound pretty good too!
Muito obrigada 😄
So you've learned 4 related languages from the same language family. And they all share a huge chunk vocabulary with your own native language. I wouldn't call that polyglottysm. You've done a great job, but that was an easier task than learning 2 fully foreign, unrelated languages.
You learned 4 languages which are basically the same
(Now i will get attacked by lot of butthurts saying i am jealous)
If you decide to learn Spanish, it would be easier for you because you already know so many Romance languages.
That's not normal, English speaker learning second and more languages, congratulations
I just wanted to say that your Portugese sounds great! I like it better than Spanish. It almost sounds delicate the way you pronounce it. It intrigues me.
Portuguese sounds like a very strong Polish accented Spanish.
west african literature? Congrats! you are also a film maker!! i´ve written you a message on linked in
I have really admired your story. You are so wonderful person
Lolz it’s funny average Indian knows more than 3 languages
I can speak Dutch, English, Portuguese and Spanish
Hi, how to learn Turkish. Which is the Best method to learn a languages?
Awesome video ♥ Such an inspiration!
Her Portuguese sounds like there is a Russian accent. Is that common???
Adorei sua experiência e simpatia. Minha língua nativa é português (Brasil), I'm studing english for a time, and my bigger dificulty is grammar rules, I feeel that speak is better than write for example. Yo tengo curiosidad con espanol e compreendo una cosa más, se ablas despacio.
Portuguese, Native.
English, intermediate.
Spanish, basic.
I guess pretty good who have your habilitie
I speak Brazilian Portuguese 🤗🤗 it was a lot of work, still not fluent but I speak well
4:50 "Je me suis rendu compte" is 100% correct here,
you could have said your sentence this way : "Je me suis rendu compte que mon Français n'était pas du tout au même niveau que je le pensais".
Caspita, il tuo italiano è quasi perfetto!! Complimenti, non è da tutti. Molti anglofoni non riescono a eliminare il loro accento nemmeno dopo tanti anni che vivono qui, invece la tua pronuncia è davvero buona e non si capisce che la tua lingua madre è l'inglese! Spero che avrai altre occasioni di venire in Italia e continuare lo studio della mia lingua :)
Grazie mille per il bel complimento! Continuerò a praticare. E quando si potrà viaggiare di nuovo, non esiterò a fare altri viaggi in Italia :D
That just makes you superER hot 😍. Thats cool you speak those languages so well 👍
I loved it 💘💘 yeah, funny that your voice changes with the languages, I mean that’s normal cause that’s how you are with every different language a different personality as well. Your Italian accent it’s so accurate 💖 I love it!
Thank you! And yes - for me it’s definitely also how I change my voice to facilitate the sounds. My boyfriend for example really likes my voice in English/Portuguese, but a few people find my Italian voice a little abrasive 😂
Emily Stoker and you don’t think on learning Spanish per example? Maybe one day?
Sou brasileiro, mas seu português lusitano é muito bom !
Wow il tuo italiano è spettacolare😍
Hi Emily, maybe is going to be easy for you to learn spanish and rumanian or Catalan.
portugese,italian and french are basically the same language
Cuidado para não dizeres 'portugueish' em vez de português. A pronúncia não é o principal, é a gramática é saberes falar bem
I've been teaching myself Portuguese recently and always search polyglot on youtube when I need inspiration. When i was watching I thought, hang on I recognise this woman... then the penny dropped. We were in a school play when i was like 13/14 and you were in sixth form i think? Absolutely crazy how small this world is! Great video btw production quality is top notch
Such a small world! Yes, I thought I recognised your name from your comment. Thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comment :) and good luck with the Portuguese, I'm still working on it and studying ;)
If given a chance I really want to learn spanish, french, italian.
I don't know why I smiled throughout the video :)
Your portuguese is really good!!greetings from Brazil.
Italian sounds so pretty but I haven't tried to learn it because I can't make the roll/trill noise on some of the words. I have the same issue with Spanish. Great Video!
Phantomx79 I can make that noise and am learning Italian from English. The way I do it is put my tongue on the roof of my mouth and blow.
@@vortexosumania5404 lol when I do that my tongue doesn't move.
Phantomx79 don’t force it on the top just do it lightly so there touching but not too lightly that they aren’t. Try all areas of the roof of your mouth.
Subtitles would have been great. ;)
You can turn on closed captions at the bottom. I took the time to write them out in English ;)
Complimenti!! Il tuo italiano è perfetto! Dall'accento non si capisce che sei inglese, ottimo!! La mia lingua preferita è inglese. Ciao!
Tienes que aprender el Español, yo aparte de mi lengua materna hablo portugues de Brasil, ingles nivel intemedio y estoy comenzando con el italiano...
Complimenti per il tuo italiano! Aldilà di qualche preposizione, lo parli molto bene..E l'accento inglese si sente ma è normale che sia così.
In quale Università inglese hai cominciato a studiare italiano?
Bravissima con l'italiano! Sei una delle pochissime inglesi che ha una pronuncia delle vocali e delle "R" perfetta
Complimenti per l'Italiano. But I'm here for listening English.
You speak just perfectly beautiful all those languages. You motivated me to learn even more, to get myself emmersed in this beautiful world of ours, that is the poliglot one. Merci Beaucoup, gracias, gazie, obrigado moça! Thank you!
Oh thank you so much! I wouldn’t say I’m perfect, but that’s part of the fun 😄 good luck with your language journey!
Eu não entendo porque português usa o verbo perceber para entender são dois verbos distintos
Sou brasileiro e não entendo nada de frances nem do italiano. Agora do espanhol entendo 200% eu nunca estudei espanhol. Mas e muito parecido com o português.
Estás começando muito bem com o português! Seu sotaque/acento é bem lisboeta! Abraços do Brasil
Im 15 and i learn 6 languages at school and 4 more on my own
Ton français est très bien. Il faut te faire confiance car tu t'es repris 2 fois alors que tu n'avais pas commis de fautes. C'est sûr que tu as un accent mais c'est très dur de parler une langue étrangère sans accent rendu à un certain âge. Mais l'important, c'est qu'on comprenne bien ce que tu dis et on te comprend bien.
Beau travail. Félicitations ;)
Et, tu vas rire. J'ai compris partiellement ton portugais sans même le parler car je parle français et espagnol (intermédiaire)
Pra quem já sabe o francês e o italiano fica mais fácil, continue assim! :D
Sim, é verdade. Obrigada!
