Level Up With Moses McCormick (laoshu505000): Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
- Moses McCormick, polyglot extraordinaire, has a humble good natured approach to languages and people that probably belies the concentrated effort needed to crack the code of so many diverse languages. We talk about it here.

RIP Moses. I'm glad Moses & Steve got the chance to reconnect before Moses passed. What a sad loss.
Not even Marvel could've made a crossover like this!
Honestly!!
So true. 🤯
This is the iVictorious of language learners
@@dyskr i only seen steve speak a few languages compared to the new polyglots.
This is the most English I've ever hear Laoshu speak lol
*heard
WAIT HE SPEAKS ENGLISH?!?!?
May he rest in peace! He had a global impact and is among the pioneers of language learning.
I like Moses. I know he gets a lot of flak from language learning forums because a lot don’t consider him a “true” polyglot - someone who can speak to almost complete fluency in many different languages, but I think he’s awesome. You can tell he’s simply in love with learning languages, and communicating with natives.
He is a true polyglot because he is in love with learning languages. It doesn't matter how fluent you are, it's the connection with people that's really satisfying. Even if you can just say "Hello, how are you."
I found even once you are a polyglot if you aren’t utilizing the languages in an engaging way for yourself you will not use them as much and even not at all like he lives in the US so his way is very uncommon and I think that’s why he gets flak a lot of “polyglots” can’t hold conversations after years but know the grammar tables and more vocab probably so like everything there is trade offs and it’s really up to the individual.
I like his videos but his courses are just notepad files with a few phrases he uses in his videos. He then says for you to go out and speak like he does to people. Not possible in rural England and not at all worth the money.
He is polyglot. Yes he doesn't speak fluently most of his 50+ languages but a polyglot is someone who is able to "speak" 3-4 languages or more. And he his fluent in some of them like Mandarin, Cantonese, Somali, Korean, etc. So yes he his a polyglot because he knows well 5-6 languages.
@Language and Programming Channel One question : how many languages at "high level" do you have so far ?
This the first vid i could watch with out crying
The secret to Lausho's success is simple - he loves what he's doing and is an extremely kindhearted person to the people he meets.
rest in peace moses :( we will certainly miss you so fucking much
Steve Kaufmann and laoshu on a duo session?! LIKE before even watching this.
Same!
Anthony美國松鼠 👏🏻👏🏻
Moses and Steve leveling up together in Vancouver,that would be legendary :)
Moses is the personification of what it means to be human (and Steve as well). It's not about how well you speak, your accent, or if you have a PhD in the language. It's about the people you meet and the lives you touch.
Moses' technique/methodology is reaching out and including as many people in the circle of friends as he can.
I hope I speak for more than just myself when I say how grateful I am for the content you both produce. You two are wonderful human beings.
"Moses is the personification of what it means to be human"? Hahahahahahaha.
@@sardunai952 " 'Moses is the personificaction of what it means to be human' ? hahahaha" HAHAHAHA!
I'll be honest, I don't know who this guy is. Laoshou is the reason why I clicked on this video.
ka boom!! 😂😂😂 same, but now I gotta check this guy out
He is pretty good he speaks multiple languages I have been following him and a guy named Arabic mike who is a native Briton but is super fluent in Arabic
He's the creator of LingQ which is one of the more well known and successful online language learning websites.
Mr. McCormick, He is one of the few who can learn as many languages, and encourages us all. thank you Mr. Kaufmann.
Awesome. You two are the reason I fell in love with languages 10 years ago!
Me too and i'm still trying learn my first foreign language!😔
@@alwayslearning7672 *AMERICAN DETECTED...*
@@alwayslearning7672 what language is that?
@@kathens7755 Spanish.
...no not an American but sadly just an native English speaker who can't learn languages...But I will keep trying.
@@thebeanz6593 No,not American but you did detect a native English speaker alright!...Pretty sad I know.
Incredible! Been following these two for years now, so much inspiration in one video 👏🏿
Two language legends. Love the interaction, love the video. Thanks guys.
Two fantastic humans who've help (so many) "Level up"! A breathe of fresh air from the "crabby" arrogant language learners/teachers whom inspire no one but only offer "thumbs down" as their contribution to humanity. Keep up the great work! (R.I.P. Moses)
I love Moses! he's the man.
Moses thank you so much man you taugh me many things about learning new languages.
I thought I was seeing things when I read the title. What an HONOR! Wow. Thanks Steve & Moses!
This is weird, earlier today (around 2-3 hours ago) I saw your video from 7 years ago as a recommended video from YT. And now you uploaded a vid together... wow much blessings 💪🏻
#RIPLaoshu
I've always been curious about Laoshu's camera set-up. I feel So terrible to learn of his passing. Such a bright star. RIP brother.
I clicked on this thinking it was the old video😂 Good to see you guys back together again. It's crazy to think it's only been seven years-it feels like a lifetime with all the changes.
Two of my favorite polyglots. Thank you for the inspiration. Another interview with the two of you together. I loved the first one a few years ago.
I would have loved to seen the level up where Steve takes Moses around Canada...RIP brother
Brilliant man. Learning Spanish is fun and definitely a challenge. To know 50 languages is outstanding.
Дякую Вам, Стіве. Слухаючи Вас , я не тільки отримую цінні поради, а ще й покращую свою англійську. Ви дивовижні. Моузесу респект.
Man, is this Ukrainian or Belarusian
@@lauti9655 How did You guess? Ukrainska.
@@user-user40. Потому что я говорю по русский, но, не украинский.
Basically, it seems like russian, but i noticed because of the i, only Ukrainian or Belarusian languages use that word
@@user-user40. not Ukrainska!? Ukrainian!!
@@antigod_7420 "ukrainska mova" means : "ukrainian language".
Hi Steve. Just subscribed to your channel because of this video. Laoshu is a genius. Thanks for the cross promotion 🤗
My two favorite legends in one video ✌️
If God were to hire anyone as a translator... Rest in eternal love and peace, Moses.
I appreciate this episode
I absolutely love laoshu505000 channel.
Nice! Laoshu is definitely a legend, these interviews are awesome many thanks!
Dude, when you spoke aramaic to the iraqis (i think it was that video), to say that my mind was blown is by all means an understatement. the secrets of the world are open to you, it seems, and to have these tongues, ancient and eclectic, connects you to our collective history, its beautiful

Id watch that

... In retrospect
RIP Moses! McCormick :/ gone way way too soon
I might want to take a look at Georgian if it comes to LingQ. Seems like a very interesting language!
I would love to see a level up with you and moses together!!
Kixune that’s a really good idea!
Two legends
Ohhh yes...Im from South Africa and Zulu is one of our 11languages
Sawubona mfethu
Nice to see all of Laoshu's best languages are Asian languages
Wow what a throwback for those who've been following for a while. Right on 👍
Great conversation 👍
Finally!, bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Steve when you get Georgian I will be first to sign up!!!
Best crossover damn!
Man he truly was a legend. I just found out he passed. I'm so sad.
Huge respect for Laoshu when I heard he has experience in Estonian Armenian and especially Georgian! I knew he was really skilled in many Asian languages but not Eastern European ones too! Studying and mastering so many infamously challenging (as well as unrelated) languages is super impressive! Moses is as legit as they come!
"mastering"
hahahahahaha
@@justin02905 first frustrated simp
Great duo. Can't wait for pt 2
this is awesome. Steve definitely needs to collab with him on Laoshu's channel. !
You are awesome, Steve! You motivated me to start my own language channel :) just uploaded a video on my polyglot routine if anyone is interested
I laughed abit once he said 'However' even when talking with an English speaker in Steve.
Oh god please both of you do level up together
Moses is the coolest
Love it
Btw I'm a big fan of you guys
part 2 please
I didn't see this crossover coming ❤️
I've been following Laoshu for awhile and I am amazed by his God given talent and jealous to a point. Lol! I am of Samoan decent, Do you guys speak any of the Polynesian dialects?
I know Laoshu doesn't.
@@kiriname-pangry199 He has Hawaiian resources, but hasn't gone through it, as far as I know.
Edit: The answer is no.
Are tell me to go with Moses McCormick?
Great video. Would love to see more Kaufmann-Moses collaboration. Very fun.
I cried. This is the best crossover ever made.
This is what I wanted!
You are awesome, Steve! You motivated me to start my own language channel :) just uploaded a video on my polyglot routine if anyone is interested
Wtf, how did I only find this now.
I'm doing really hard to learn English and that from about 10 years, my first one is portugues and for me is unbelieveble that you both do it so easily with so many language. Hi from Brasil!
Henrique Candiotto keep grinding man, learn every day. Good luck
Moses is such a cool guy man
Vidéo très motivante.
RIP Laoshu
I am Sudanese, I live in Ukraine I can help you in arabic language, also I can speak English, Russian and Chinese
level up!
What resources do you use to learn Russian?
Yashh finally
Hi Steve, where could I find a site to talk to a native speaker of english via internet? Can I do it through ling as well?
anderson alejandro alba cubillos Try HelloTalk, it’s an app. You can find language partners.
Yo uso tandem
Seems like this is a sport for Laoshu.
This video is my dream come true.
ネズミとスティーブ、このビデオ
はとてもかっこいいです。
For anyone curious, the laws in Canada are pretty similar. No expectation of privacy in public. Therefore, one can freely photograph anyone in public. And you have no legal power to stop someone photographing you in public.
Here's an interesting bonus fact while we're talking about recording people in various ways. This has to do with audio recording. Canada (all of it) is legally a "one-party consent" country. In other words, only one person who is engaged in the conversation needs to give consent, for the entirety of the conversation to be legally recorded. Which means that you can give yourself consent to be recorded by your own device and voila, you can record any conversation *that your are involved in* (very key distinction). Also you do not need to inform any other party involved in the conversation that you are recording them.
If you are recording a conversation that you are not yourself involved in, that is very illegal and considered an illegal wiretap. Also it is illegal to posses "surreptitious recording devices" which I think (I'm not a lawyer for any of this) is a device specifically used to intercept conversations where you are not the intended audience (IOW a device that is used to eavesdrop on others' conversations, which in itself is an illegal act.) Devices like a laser-guided window listening device (point it at a window nearby where the target conversation is taking place, it hears the conversation from the vibrations off the glass. Crazy shit I know.)
In the US, it varies from state to state. But all the terminology you have to know is either "one-party" or "two-party" consent. Two-party means that both people (or it might even be *all* people) involved in the conversation must first consent to being recorded. Doesn't matter if it's on the phone, in person or whatever. Only exception is recording someone in a highly public place where one could reasonably expect to have one's conversation overheard.
We're way too nice to secretly record people in Canada. :)
I want hear both of them speak with each other with different languages!!
You are awesome, Steve! You motivated me to start my own language channel :) just uploaded a video on my polyglot routine if anyone is interested
Rip 🪦 Moses 😖
This shit lit 2 Fuckin Goats!
It's time to level up!
Tamil YES!
Kings
Pt 2 and 3 please!
Yay, they actually mentioned African languages. I recently started learning Swahili as my third language! napenda Kiswahili :)
Anyway, glad to see you two together, you should do more!
Edit: Dang, Moses is 6ft 7in?!!
MobbinMic out of curiosity, what's your second language alongside English?
@@Levi-hu8jb I meant Swahili is my third foreign language that I've studied! I've gotten to a decent level in both Mandarin Chinese and Japanese
MobbinMic insane man, keep leveling up:)
@@Levi-hu8jb will do, thanks 👍
I can relate to the high/motivation 老鼠 gets from surprising people and getting positive feedback.
I am perhaps more pessimistic about *'leveling up'* though haha, but maybe that's because I'm learning Chinese and the breakthrough moments are rare to non-existent.
Is Moses better than Steve?
Moses Mandarin vs Steve’s?
҉ ҉ What do those numbers represent?
@@GXrevolution96 A1 is the lowest/most basic. C2 is the highest/most advanced.
҉ ҉ Ooh, I remember now. I don’t think that system is good for measuring one’s speaking skills. My Japanese teachers on Italki are C2-B1(low intermediate, I think) and we never have any issues communicating and their accents are clear enough
@@betos-08 Moses is a C1 as well
R.I.P., M.
When's part 2 coming out?
Soon I think.
I literally just watched the original video! Lmao!
Moses is really a Legend lol I can't believe people actually hate on him lol
I want see you leveling up with Moses in Canada haha
Wow Laoshu is 6ft 7 in. No wonder his recordings are always shaky.
That’s true I’m from Saudi Arabia and pretty much I understand the Sudanese people and sometimes I try to use their dialect with them jokingly. They kind and good people tho.
When you give up the magic it takes away front the effect bro
Human first ! Black American Man Excellence ! Bringing pure joy to mankind !
SelfNote:❤🐘💙[I felt he, #MosesMcCormick was murdered
What he was doing with #LanguageLawLiquidation was ALL Powerful ]
The flak with Moses is his language teaching business which is not very good. But he is a polyglot bcuz as an adult learner he can speak Mandarin Cantonese Vietnamese Somali. This C1 fluency is a nebulous concept. Fluency is about context. Can Moses survive in Hue Hanoi Saigon Mogadishiu Taipei Peking Hong Kong living amongst the people and speaking it I think yes. I also think his french and spanish is passable. So 6 languages at at least B1 level is already very good. But can he write a thesis or read a high brow newspaper or have deeper conversation in those languages as a quasi native speaker... if the agreed def of polyglot is native fluency in many languages then I will accept Moses as Multi Lingual.
I don't know about the laws in the US but it's not legal in Canada. You can film in public but you can't distribute the video if the person is recognizable.

Interesting comment. Out of all the things you can get from this video, you're only thought was the law. Why does Moses send you into such rage??? It's obvious that it's a matter for you.
MOSESSSS
Moses - any Polynesian languages?
No not yet.
