@@WolfGamingClipd it' not even a full dialect...it's just an accent. I'm from north east romania and find it easier to understand moldavian then people from oltenia.
HAHAHAHA LMFAO idk if i am one of those myself but honestly I have probably 7 learning (some with more progress than others) and the rest of them I only have them because I would suddenly want to try to learn them, but they are only there because I made some lessons. Although this man is very impressive and it inspires people I feel like he just learned some basic words of each language and a bit of grammar and tries to use that, which sometimes natives can get the idea but it's not fluent or at least 70percent correct 🙌🏻🤔
As a Greek, respect. He does some mistakes while speaking, but his accent is quite impressive for someone who's learning without growing up listening to Greek.
It happens a lot when you speak different languages because in most cases you make direct translations to sentences. Written and Spoken language, however he's impressive
Same goes for french, the grammar is off but still very understandable! And if he himself understands all the languages that he kinda speaks then it's jackpot
This polyglot guy has 5 languages he can speak really well. Others are just simple phrases, like your country is beautiful, culture and nice to meet you. Its also good
I'm german and can say, that his german is very good. You hear the accent, but the choice of words and pronouciation was top. This sounds like someone who really talked to germans, very natural and only the accent gives it away.
He's getting his languages mixt up at the end that made me laugh more, this is so impressive! I only speak 4, love to learn more, but I think I need a RAM update to be able to switch between them.
Compared to this guy! I'm Dutch, can speak English, German and French. Standard language options in the Netherlands. I did continue language study after graduating.
I love that he instantly knew it was Moldovan, unfortunately we haven’t called it that for years so the official language is Romanian but that is awesome. Wish it was me that was there I love sushi
There is no such a thing as Moldovian, people from Moldova speak Romanian but with a different dialect. It's something that change with the region of the country, since Moldova was part of Romania, Moldovian was and will be just a dialect of Romanian.
I love how friendly he is with other people always complimenting them. ''you guys are cute'' ''i like your hairstyle'' I only noticed it quote late in the video but its a good way to start conversations and maintain them throughout the many different languages
@The Forecasts Reaction. LMFAO thats like saying you're German and the language is Germanic. The Irish language is distinctively different from Scottish, Welsh, Manx, and Cornish. Google the official languages of Ireland.
I'm Japanese and Thai and I can tell his accent is strong but every other language I wouldn't know if he was fluent or not 😂 The amount overall he knows from so many languages is still amazing though
The lady in the video mentioned that she thinks Moldavian and Romanian are the same language. It was just me who thought that Romanian and Moldovian are different languages. And just because I wasn't sure, I wanted to give them 2 sush dishes per person. Because I want to be fair to them, when I am not sure if they are different languages are not.
That’s really nice of you. I just wanted to make sure that you know the facts. Moldavia or Moldova was a part of Romania, but basically Russia took (stole) the eastern part of it. There’s still a Romanian part of Moldova
I once surprised a Moldovan customer with my Romanian. Only a sentence or two as I was out of practice, but more than most Americans are expected to know.
I'm Brazilian and I can totally understand Romanian if they speak slowly. It is funny how a language so far away from Brazil is so similar. Romanian is more similar to Portuguese than Spanish. I expect I can go to Romania one day to surprise people with it.
@@alenjebiga189 speaker of japanese and english. His japanese is def not perfect and he only said one sentence. But that one sentence alone told me a lot where he is at in japanese. its unnatural. But i still respect the dude though. it was a good watch.

Y’all are ragging on him for making a few mistakes but you need to take into account how many languages he’s learning. It’s normal to make a few mistakes
Because there's no moldovan language is romanian which is a latin language so it's quite easy for them to learn any other latin language. As well as russian, as it's been part of the soviet union. Thry live in the netherlands so of course they know dutch and english. Nevertheless: It's impressing
i'm swiss, here we have already 4 languages spoken in my tiny little country with only 8 million people in it. the us with canada is over 4 times as big as europe, and you are not in need to change your language while traveling. that's quite different here. i had 5 years french and 5 years english classes in regular school. once you speak french, it's not that hard to learn other latin based languages like italian or spanish. and from german you could easily go to the northern languages like swedish, norwegian or danish and so on. these language families share lots of similarities. so, in europe, you will have easier access to different languages, and the oppurtunities to train them. and this is why, lots of people speak more than one language. because we can use it. if your living in the us and never go somewhere else, there is no need to learn anything else.
Since I speak flemish and live close to the border with the Netherlands, it's a bit funny how I could still hear your dutch accent in the languages I understood. English, German, French, Japanese, Korean. I can catch that accent anywhere. Not saying your bad or anything. Not at all. I could just catch that immediately.
I’d just start speaking simlish, say it’s an endangered language and watch as you lose your faith in humanity’s honesty and your own knowledge as I eat the sushi with an evil grin in my face. and then I’m rushed to the hospital bcs I’m allergic to fish.
Learning different languages is one of my true passions in life. It's fantastic to see a stranger's face light up when you can converse in their native language.
Your language skills are pretty impressive, I really wish I had the dedication to learn a third language, its cool. I was just disappointed that my mother language wasn’t featured in this video, I wanted to listen to your Portuguese 😅
ayo I’m filipino and when he spoke the ilonggo dialect my jaw dropped 😭 it was unexpected-he wasn’t fluent in speaking it but he’s w speaking other languages nonetheless omg
I think ilonggo is considered a languange when he spoke tagalog i expected it cause alot spoke it but then he pulled out ilonggo i was even more impressed not many bother to learn those languanges because they are jsut a regional languange. kabalo manko maghambal ng ilonggo
Ilonggo is considered as a separate language. It is distinct enough that other Bisayan language speakers could hardly understand it. A dialect would be the difference between the Cebuano (Bisaya) of Cebu, and the Bisaya of Davao. They're different but both groups can still understand each other with little hassle
@Rob Lynn A language is a structured system of communication. Sign language and its variations fit this requirement. Just because two different sing languages can’t talk to each other doesn’t mean it’s not a language. Like how those who speak Dominican Spanish have a hard time understanding Spanish spoken in Mexico.
@Rob Lynn its common for people to use it symbolically for the concept of “sign language” so colloquially it would be similar to them saying “It would be interesting if someone spoke”. They aren’t wrong but yeah used literally it is incorrect.

@@thommyswills2612 sing language does have letters. It’s simply with signs instead of verbal. There’s something called fingerspelling which is basically the alphabet in signs which is usually only used for names
@@moehashim8442 Not dialects. If we could consider dialects we will be speaking about a much larger number. I know five languages. I agree with Kuldeep.
@@moehashim8442 I speak about seven languages and learning a new one. It's true. Since there are so many different languages here, even toddlers on average speak 2-3 languages. Each state has it's own vernacular. And there are 30 states. Overall India has 1600+ active languages and over 720 dialects. My mother tongue (Bengali) has like 15-20 dialects. I can understand 6-7 of those and fluently speak 4. Same goes for all the others I speak. Even the most famous language from India (Hindi) has a different dialect in different states and sometimes different dialect in the different part of the same state.
@@moehashim8442 You could learn Hindi from a dude in Rajasthan and go speak to a dude in Bihar, and I guarantee you wouldn't understand what he's saying.
I would love to be able to speak every language... I think it's so interesting... i can speak very little of multiple languages (nothing impressive, trust me), but i can't even fathom the amount of time and effort it would take to learn them all. so many of them sound so beautiful when spoken, too... I'd say English is the least interesting, but maybe that's because I'm so used to it lol... it's dull to me... I've never heard of anyone being impressed or loving to hear English (at least not the American dialect). I think the ones I enjoy hearing the most are Japanese, Arabic, and some African dialects (though most, if not all others (non-english languages) , sound so wonderful to me).
My main language is Spanish and I love hearing people speak English (when is not directly to me because I get nervous lol). I got a friend who really likes English too. I'd like to learn Japanese too, to watch anime without subtitles and say 'kawaii' things 😂❤️
This is so lovely! A brilliant mind, eager to connect, making people happy, letting them feel seen and/or feeding them delicious food!! What an awesome human!
Ployglots are some of the most interesting people to me I speak English and a tiny bit of French and Japanese, I just can’t fathom how he can keep all the knowledge of these languages
I learned a concept about how the brain has, effectively, infinite storage space (or at least so much that we don't have enough time to spend to fill it), but forming memory is a matter of creating strong triggers that cause us to recall the information we've been exposed to. One method of doing this is by using mnemonics (associated images, stories, sounds, etc., often of a silly nature to make them more memorable), which in my Japanese studies have memorizing new words and kanji possible... without the mnemonics it feels like trying to memorize a random string of numbers, but with them it's like recounting a funny story to a friend - it allows it to come to mind naturally. Sorry for the unsolicited advice, I am also just very fascinated and excited about language learning :)
@@sgt.yarpyarp144 Awesome :D I have to say I learned a lot about language learning from a humble little channel called "Organic Japanese with Cure Dolly". Her content is a bit unique in presentation, but if you can get used to it (subtitles help), her explanations of Japanese are absolutely invaluable - I wouldn't want any Japanese learner to be without them!
I'm friends with a polyglot in Bangkok. He speaks 32 languages. One of his jobs is translating for the Miss Universe pageants. I sat in a social event with him and his polyglot friends and they way they switched between languages was incredible. The guy in this video is equally impressive (however, his Thai accent is pretty basic 😁👍)
I dont really do Sushi, but i bet my first language is one you dont speak. Algonquin is effectively a dead language at this point, with less than 500 speakers world wide, and many of them academic, not native speakers. but i grew up speaking it as my first language. Sadly, a lack of people to speak it with has left me sorely out of practice with it, and a stroke as a child meant i had to relearn how to speak entirely, further reducing my ability with the language. but i can speak well enough to communicate with the few elders in my tribe who havent passed on yet. After they are gone, i will be the last Native Speaker of the language in my Tribe, and one of the final 5 who speak it at all, within my own tribe.
Really cool, man. Must be wild to know only a handful of people know your language. Make sure to try and keep it alive with the young, or if you have kids, as difficult as that is!
I really hope there's some archival of that tongue. It's incredibly depressing seeing the effects of colonialism in real time. I really wish you well. It's a special connection you possess
2:35 that's Romanian, Moldovan language does not exist, is a term invented by USSR during the communist era to remove Moldavia from Romania, so they could say that are different countries as an excuse and brainwash the population so they would not unify with Romania.
@@jarazy1232 In that case they cold say from the start that the language is called Romanian .

Do you speak British? 😂
I only know two languages, English and Tagalog (my first language) But I still can't speak English very well. Maybe I need to study my second language even more to become better at speaking English.
@@user-cd3qf2nz5k if you go out and just try to speak to fluent English speakers you will get it :) it may be a little scary at first but I think you got it
The struggle with Greek is real! I'm really curious about a certain though... but I won't ask just incase my brother wants free sushi some day. Also, I'm not a conversational polyglot, but I dabble and can understand a bit of this video without the subtitles. The trouble I had was with the Maldovian Mom/daughter combo and the switching languages. My brain couldn't switch fast enough XD
If you want to learn a second language but struggle with Spanish, French, etc. I'd recommend trying Norwegian, Dutch, or Swedish! These languages are very similar to English and extremely simple to learn compared to other languages. Also if you speak one then you can mostly understand the others because they are very close to each other. I speak Norwegian but can have conversations with Swedish and Dutch people (though Swedish and Dutch are a little more different from each other). -From a UK native who had to teach myself a language because the way they teach languages in our schools makes no sense.
This is really impressive! Always great so see fellow polyglots, he did make small mistakes here and there in some languages especially Japanese but this as a whole, so sick! Keep going man, so many more languages to learn.
You'll get trouble trying it in Indonesia, there's so many local languages, not only different accents but completely different languages. Most Indonesian by nature speaks at least 2 languages, their local language and Bahasa.
Same case in Pakistan (I think we've over 70 languages here). The national language is Urdu and people speak their native language alongside it. Then you learn English in School. Most people also pick up on other regional languages during their lives depending on which cities/regions they live in. Personally, I speak 5 languages (English, Urdu, Potohari, Hindko, and Punjabi) and understand a couple more at varying levels (Pushto, Kashmiri, and Seraiki). This is aside from German, which I studied as a foreign language.
Yeah it's the same as Malaysia. The official language is Bahasa Malaysia but Malaysian don't really use it that much as it is typically used in the news and also known as Bahasa Baku (a formal language) most of Malaysians speaks based on the state they're in. Basically we have lot of dialects lol
My father's family is from Central Java, they use Javanese. My mother is from West Java, they speak Sundanese. I use Indonesian at work.When we get together, sometimes we speak 3 languages at once, but we still understand what is being talked about.
I can understand 3 of the languages you spoke. Korean, Mandarin Chinese, and Japanese. There were some mistakes but its unavoidable when you can speak 10+ languages. But I’d say its 80% accurate. Its mind blowing how you can be fluent with so many languages. I wouldn’t say first language level fluent but like second language level fluent.
His accent goes across the languages but it's understandable in a level that will make any native very impressed and happy. His Japanese, Spanish and Italian is not perfect but it's very impressive
@@xgfreedom really? Japanese, yea. But I thought his Korean was a bit better than his Chinese. The only mistakes I sensed in his Korean was the accent and tone which was unusual. The mistakes in Chinese were that he messed up some of the accents on words. But accents in Chinese are way more important and can make the difference between understanding or misunderstanding the word. On the other hand, in Korean, accents dont really matter its just unusual.
The video is pretty impressive i would never be able to speak even 5 languages at his level (i’m already struggling with 3 at a correct level and a very bad mandarin) but it’s pretty obvious he knows the language but didn’t speak it in real condition, for example in french his sentences are correct but like u would never hear that in france
This is such a cool video, I love languages but I don’t have the patience, time or motivation to learn any but I just gotta say: I love languages, they are all so beautiful.

I would be VERY surprised if he understood my swiss german lol
@@solidVI In my last company was a Dutch controller and he understood me (GR) well but I don’t know who long he lives in Zurich.
But agreed as not even most Germans understand us. :) but does Swiss German count as a language? I mean we have no grammar?
My poor history teacher will have a heart attack if she'll ever hear you say that Maldovian and Romanian are 2 different languages. Basically URSS told us that we speak a different language than our compatriots. So there's just a Maldovian accent.

Although this man is very impressive and it inspires people I feel like he just learned some basic words of each language and a bit of grammar and tries to use that, which sometimes natives can get the idea but it's not fluent or at least 70percent correct 🙌🏻🤔
B1 is actually pretty good.

Speak a little of everything, but don't speak any one of it very well besides his own native language.

He does some mistakes while speaking, but his accent is quite impressive for someone who's learning without growing up listening to Greek.

It happens a lot when you speak different languages because in most cases you make direct translations to sentences. Written and Spoken language, however he's impressive

There is no such a thing as Moldovian, people from Moldova speak Romanian but with a different dialect. It's something that change with the region of the country, since Moldova was part of Romania, Moldovian was and will be just a dialect of Romanian.

She said it herself 😂

the us with canada is over 4 times as big as europe, and you are not in need to change your language while traveling.
that's quite different here.
i had 5 years french and 5 years english classes in regular school. once you speak french, it's not that hard to learn other latin based languages like italian or spanish. and from german you could easily go to the northern languages like swedish, norwegian or danish and so on. these language families share lots of similarities.
so, in europe, you will have easier access to different languages, and the oppurtunities to train them. and this is why, lots of people speak more than one language. because we can use it.
if your living in the us and never go somewhere else, there is no need to learn anything else.

Ilonggo is considered as a separate language. It is distinct enough that other Bisayan language speakers could hardly understand it. A dialect would be the difference between the Cebuano (Bisaya) of Cebu, and the Bisaya of Davao. They're different but both groups can still understand each other with little hassle

It would have been interesting to me at least, if someone did sign language 😂
@Rob Lynn A language is a structured system of communication. Sign language and its variations fit this requirement. Just because two different sing languages can’t talk to each other doesn’t mean it’s not a language. Like how those who speak Dominican Spanish have a hard time understanding Spanish spoken in Mexico.
@Rob Lynn for a clown you missed the joke pretty bad
@Rob Lynn Ah, my apologies. I do see what you mean now.

I learned a concept about how the brain has, effectively, infinite storage space (or at least so much that we don't have enough time to spend to fill it), but forming memory is a matter of creating strong triggers that cause us to recall the information we've been exposed to. One method of doing this is by using mnemonics (associated images, stories, sounds, etc., often of a silly nature to make them more memorable), which in my Japanese studies have memorizing new words and kanji possible... without the mnemonics it feels like trying to memorize a random string of numbers, but with them it's like recounting a funny story to a friend - it allows it to come to mind naturally.

Algonquin is effectively a dead language at this point, with less than 500 speakers world wide, and many of them academic, not native speakers.
but i grew up speaking it as my first language. Sadly, a lack of people to speak it with has left me sorely out of practice with it, and a stroke as a child meant i had to relearn how to speak entirely, further reducing my ability with the language.
but i can speak well enough to communicate with the few elders in my tribe who havent passed on yet. After they are gone, i will be the last Native Speaker of the language in my Tribe, and one of the final 5 who speak it at all, within my own tribe.

If you want to learn a second language but struggle with Spanish, French, etc. I'd recommend trying Norwegian, Dutch, or Swedish!

But damn, he can get the accent down really well 😭
his madarin was much better than his korean or japanese.
@@xgfreedom really? Japanese, yea. But I thought his Korean was a bit better than his Chinese. The only mistakes I sensed in his Korean was the accent and tone which was unusual. The mistakes in Chinese were that he messed up some of the accents on words. But accents in Chinese are way more important and can make the difference between understanding or misunderstanding the word. On the other hand, in Korean, accents dont really matter its just unusual.
@@LastsBobaTea Chinese accent mistakes are made by natives too but his korean grammer was not that great

The video is pretty impressive i would never be able to speak even 5 languages at his level (i’m already struggling with 3 at a correct level and a very bad mandarin) but it’s pretty obvious he knows the language but didn’t speak it in real condition, for example in french his sentences are correct but like u would never hear that in france
She has a strong Beijing accent. I would be very impressed Cantonese- with lots of tones and evolving slang, it's very difficult to stay current
I would be really impressed, if he would also speak cantonese :D
"so, how many languages do you speak?"
This guy: *YES*
This is such a cool video, I love languages but I don’t have the patience, time or motivation to learn any but I just gotta say: I love languages, they are all so beautiful.
If you don't have the patience to learn a new language, you don't love languages. You might find it fascinating at best.
Heel goe gedaan Wouterke, maar kunde gij ook Belgisch klappe!?😂🎉
