@sentinel scourge Dude, russian is my native language and I can tell that his pronunciation is indistinguishable from native speakers' pronunciation. There was some grammatical mistakes, but to jump straight into russian and start speaking like this after 5 different languages (including mandarin) is just incredible.

Very nice English .. not that bad French .. good Italian .. nice Spanish ..and so on.. But most above all..accents...which are the hardest part of a foreign language.. and you did it almost perfectly ... Anyway .. you’re the real true proof how far a human brain can go .. « Impressive » is the word.

Stefan Scarlet: "I was expecting greek language how could you ignore greek language, a bit dissapointed :( good job tho" You know, the video is about two years old and there were about a thousand comments beneath it like yours, but I'll try to answer again. A lot of people asked: Why didn't you learn Greek? Why didn't you learn Arabic? Why didn't you learn Hindi? Why didn't you learn Korean? Why didn't you learn any African language? Why didn't you learn any Malay? Why didn't you learn any Swedish? Why didn't you learn any Albanian? Why didn't you learn any Turkish? One person even called me a Turkish hater, because I don't speak Turkish.. I don't understand these questions, really. I would never ask anyone with an irritated tone: Why didn't you learn any Slovak (my native language)? I think everyone is entitled to learn what they want and I would definitely not be upset if someone wouldn't learn my native language. It's like a football player getting mad at everyone and asking why they don't play football. A lot of Greeks were even insulted that I didn't learn their language too..how can this be? I understand that Ancient Greek is an important language, but so is Sanskrit, Latin or Classical Arabic and I didn't learn those either. I didn't do it intentionally. I just never had the chance, opportunity or time to learn Greek or any of these languages. It actually feels really strange explaining something logical like this. My life evolved in a completely different way. I lived most of my life in Slovakia, two years in the USA, 5 years in Taiwan, 2 years in the Czech republic, most of the languages I learned I had to learn for work, school or for very practical reasons or because of some really strong attachment to the language. Why would I learn Greek? There was nothing disrespectful in my question. I honestly don't know why I should spend another 2-3 years of my life intensively studying Greek when: I don't live in Greece, I have no Greek friends (again, it's nothing intentional, it's just how my life evolved), I don't have plans to live in Greece, I don't work for a Greek company, I am not interested in Greek literature (again, nothing disrespectful), not interested in Greek history, am not particularly interested in understanding the roots of words like "epidermal, encephalon, telephone, chronometer.." and similar words in other European languages and so on. I wrote a similar response about Arabic and some people really got seriously insulted. I wasn't questioning the importance of Arabic at all.. of course it is an important language..I was just trying to explain that it's natural that you don't learn something. It's like me getting mad at you for not being a doctor, or something similar. And... even if Greek was the most important language in the world.. I still think everyone is at their own liberty to decide whether they would like to learn it or not. If Slovak was the most important language in history, I would never get mad, or feel insulted if someone decided not to learn it.
Vladimir Skultety yes you're absolutely right, I wish one day I will know more languages but I don't have much time for practice now, I only speak 3 languages really well (Ukrainian, Russian and English), and I'm learning 3 other languages (French, German and Czech). All I can say it would be very easy to you to learn Ukrainian, if you have ever been interested in it, i personally admitted that both Ukrainian and Russian helped me in learning Czech, but Ukrainian is a bit more similar to it. Also Hungarian and Slovak are popular to learn in a Zakarpattia region of Ukraine, especially near the border. P.S. For me the easiest language is Belarusian, I've never learned it and still can understand 95% of it.
My EX YU friend,listen,why are you even bothering about those comments,you speak 19 languages which is impressive enough.Maybe i would feel a little disapointed if you didnt speak serbian but i know that all that dedication and hard work needs to be respected,so just BUDI OPUSTEN I VELIKI POZDRAV IZ SRBIJE!
Persian here: Wow, I'm really impressed with your Farsi. You had a few pronunciations difficulties, but for someone who hasn't practiced a lot and hasn't even been to Iran, it was very astonishing. Honestly, I think the major issue non-native speakers have with Farsi is the informal (casual) and formal differences. The textbook formula and whatever is taught in classes is primarily in formal Farsi. The informal Farsi is used in day-to-day conversations and seems more fluent and smooth than formal. You , for example, used many informal phrases which are common but then used the formal pronunciation of a word. All in all, I'm not sure if others have the same feeling, but I feel very happy and proud to know that someone (who is not in the Middle-East) is willing to learn Farsi. It might not seem easy at first, but It has a whole culture behind it and certainly doesn't disappoint. Thank you for making my day!!

Florencia Edgina I live in England and grew up only speaking English. I wish I learned more as a kid but now im learning japanese and Spanish. I wish I could speak as many as some people but I can't remember that much
Russians are. I'm not a Russian, but am aware they struggle with English. 99,9% (imho) movies they watch are dubbed in Russian. I see a lot of comments in rutracker[.]org (largest torrent tracker) where they say about movies, tutorials, learning lessons etc.: too shame its not in Russian etc. I understand - they are proud of their language, BUT lazy in language learning. Of course it does not apply to many young people. Even many Russian people who lives here in Latvia for generations, can't put together a simple conversation in Latvian. I speak Russian from 1st grade. Fluent from 5th grade. (now 31 years old). Who disagrees with me is a hypocrite (i mean Russians, whether they are from Russia or Latvia). Вот так вот {Russian}.
I am a deep lover of language..and appreciate it very much...ASL, French, Russian, Spanish, German, etc...the languages I have been familiar with..thanks for liking my comment, and keep up the good work!
Vladimir Skultety Been doing this program called pro Spanish...you kind of learn intuitively...and through building sentences...so you are speaking right away...and not learning useless verbiage.
Holy shit, your German accent is perfect! :o To be honest, If I hadn't known that you're from Slovakia, I couldn't have distinguished you from a native speaker.
Wow, I was actually pretty impressed by your Polish, because even though I could hear you're not a native speaker, the accent was actually really, really good and your grammar was perfect, which is really uncommon for non-natives.
The secret to learn a language quickly and perfectly : really want to speak it from the bottom of your heart. I ve learned 18 years of dutch being forced by school and I cans speak way better spanish that I learnes 2 month by myself before to travel to latin america, because I wanted to speak it decently
Yeeeah I totally agree, I've been learning German for 6 years and I can barely remember any words. I've started lerning Spanish now because of tv series and I caught myself that in my head are sentences that I didn't even try to remember😉
Sally Michaels i also learn german in school for about six years and oh god, i hate it. i learned russian on duolingo for about month and i feel a lot more comfortable talking in russian than in german.
One has to be a musician and comedian and a monkey in his heart, so that one is not afraid to imitate the sound, melody and cadence of a foreign language or dialect. Interestingly, young children can learn a foreign language quickly and perfectly, but for some adults it is a problem for the rest of their lives. I do not have such a talent for languages, but I admire those who do.
I am dutch but my english is way better than my Dutch. Only because of yt vids and I do tto that means every lesson in school in English and not in dutch
I’m impressed by your perfect Mandarin. You nailed the Taiwanese accent! (By that i mean the way Taiwanese speak Mandarin) And I cant even speak Taiwanese as a Taiwanese, but you actually made it. WOW
I knew right away he learned Chinese in Taiwan because of his pronunciation and vocabulary! But then he also lived there for 5 years so that explains his fluency to a certain degree. (Mandarin is my 3rd language)
You are amaising. I don't understand why people point out yours "slight" errors in pronunciation or accent. They should appreciate that you speak in their language. Personally, I am very impressed. All the best for you.
Just such slight errors in pronunciation or accent or vocabulary prove how are his skills good. In some languages he makes minor mistakes than a majority of native speakers of that language. Nobody is completely perfect even in his own native language.
Amazing! I'm from 🇺🇸. I'm bilingual. I speak Italian and English fluently, Because my fathers parent are from Italy and spoke Italian to us. I'm currently learning Hungarian, it's SOOO DIFFICULT! This is just ASTONISHING!!! RESPECT BRUDDAH!!!
@@GratDuForloradeArgumentet Yes, there is. When the Hungarians were still in Asia, they were mixing a lot with the Turks, so their language also evolved similarly. Then fast forward to the 1500s, the Ottomans conquered Hungary for 150 years, that also left a huge impact on the Hungarian language.
Ape from the low lands. This has nothing to do with the country in which he was born but the way he was raised. I’m French, and I don’t know anyone that can speak fluently more than 2-3 languages

Ich kann nur Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch und Italienisch, wobei ich Letzteres das letzte Mal vor ca. 4 Jahren in der Schule gesprochen hab. Also werden meine Italienischkenntnisse schon langsam nachlassen
For example, I'm 14 years old, and I've been learning Russian for 14 years as well. And I live in Russia in Ivanovo region. Maybe I even can say that I'm a native speaker
Wow! I am German and I must say that your German is just PERFECT! In Germany you would easily be mistaken for a German with that pronunciation! You are unbelievable!
Respect man, respect. Of all the people that I've seen speaking over 10 languages in such a video, you have the best overall pronunciation of the languages that I understand (6 of them). And also a few others that I can recognize by the sound of the language, sound really good. I think you are exceptionally good at capturing and rendering the sound of a language!

I am a Chinese who speaks Italian and Spanish, this dude's Italian and Spanish are almost native, moreover, in spite of the strong Taiwanese accent, he is one of the best foreign Mandarin speakers I have ever seen in my life, seriously... For me, any foreign people that can communicate in my language earn a lot of my respect because I know how hard it is to learn, and to this dude... Geez what can I say.....you killed it bro, this is sick!! Good job!
just what's wrong with the Taiwanese accent...cause the way you mention it makes me feel like you don't see it as Mandarin, but if that's not what you meant then sorry about this comment dude. Anyway, agreed with you that +Vladimir Skultety does speak Mandarin well, respect !!
No ha hablado tanto en español como para poder valorar su fluidez. El español es uno de los idiomas más difíciles de aprender, y poca gente he visto que lo hable mucho. No es una crítica, solo deseo que siga mejorando con el español, y le envío muchos ánimos. 😃
Karnak07 ¿De dónde sacaste esta tontería? Una de las más difíciles? Más que Mandarin, Japones, Escocés, Árabe, Hebreo, Hindi? Hay muchas otras lenguajes mucho más difíciles que las lenguas Romanicas (Romance)
This is madness! All the languages he spoke that I understand are spot on! Not like some other dudes on TH-cam who claim to be polyglot but only know some sentences.
Gezz. Even the ones he didn't speak 'well' were o.o His Asian accents were amazing and sounded really good. I bet he would be able to learn Korean VERY easy, as it's one of the simplest Asian languages, especially if he can speak MANDARIN like THAT!
+toaritok I agree with you 👍 my native language is English and I know French. Now I'm learning Spanish and Arabic. Speaking is the most important part in language learning.
I decided to press “like” when you spoke in Chinese, even your accent is not perfect because it’s not an easy language. By the way, I speak 10 languages and I haven’t never found someone brilliant like you before, very impressive! My first language are English and Spanish. Nice to meet you.
Well, he has a perfect accent of a Cantonese speaker learning Mandarin Chinese as a second language, I bet he got the accent from his Chinese-speaking friends who were from the south of China/Hong Kong/Taiwan. It was as if I was listening to some of my former colleagues from that area :)
Bell Nathaniel Sanchez Ha ha Hmm..i don’t think so.I’m Taiwanese and I think he speaks Chinese very well.His accent just like the way l talk to my mate.

It depends I'm portuguese and his portuguese is very good but his pronounciation is very close to the brazilian one

I'm Brazilian, yeah it's definitely Brazilian accent, and I can say his vowels are on point; pretty impressive! No other foreigner I've heard before could make nasal vowels without sounding either a little off, or as if they're putting too much effort.
Hello and thank you for all your comments. I wanted to answer some of the more frequent questions: Q: What is your job? A: I work as an interpreter of English, Slovak and Mandarin Chinese. Q: What was the most difficult language you've ever studied? A: Mandarin Chinese. Q: How old are you? A: I was 32 in the video, I'm 35 now. Q: Which language do you like most? A: Difficult to say, because if I didn't like the languages I speak, I would've never learned them, so I like every language I have studied for this or that reason but if I had to pick a favorite it would be: Hungarian, Russian, Cantonese and Persian. Q: Which language do you dream in/think in? A: I don't even know. Probably those that I use most often: Slovak, English, Mandarin.
Q: When did you start learning foreign languages?/How long did it take you to learn all the languages you speak? A: I don't think there was a starting moment in my life. I grew up with 2-3 native languages and spoke 5 at an almost native level by the time I was 13 and just continued learning languages here and there as I grew up. As for how long it took me, it took me my entire life. Q: Could you give me some tips to learn language XYZ? A: Sure. I have a blog where I wrote probably everything I think about language learning (www.foreverastudent.com). Feel free to check it out. I could write here too but I would only be repeating myself. Q: What is your secret? A: There is no secret, only passion, lots of time spent on practice, good conditions and a bit of talent. Q: Where are you from? A: I was born and lived most of my life in Slovakia.
Q: You made a mistake in the French part. It shouldn't be 'ce video' it should be 'cette video'. A: Thank you, I'll remember. Q: You made a mistake in the Serbian part. It should't be 'kuči' but 'kući'. A: Thank you. I realized it the moment I said it. Q: The Spanish part was too short. A: I know. I'll make a video where I speak only Spanish next time. Q: You didn't learn Greek! You should be ashamed of yourself. A: I got about 50 similar comments. I have no intelligent answer for this. People help me out:) Q: Why didn't you learn Arabic? Armenian? Hindi? Indonesian? European Portuguese? Greek?... I'm dissapointed. A: I never had a good reason or interest. Q: Were you ever interested in learning Scandinavian languages? A: Originally no, because I never had a chance or good reasons to learn them, plus it's too cold for me up there, but recently I read a book by Stieg Larsson and got a bit interested, so maybe I will.
Q: You don't speak Portuguese, you speak Brazillian. Why did you learn that ugly Brazillian Portuguese and not the real Portuguese from Portugal? A: I must've gotten about 100 comments like this and worse. I honestly don't understand why all the hate against Brazillian Portuguese from Portugal. I just felt silly writing 'Brazillian' instead of 'Portuguese' especially since as far as I know the official language of Brazil is called Portuguese, not Brazillian. It's like saying I speak 'American' instead of 'English'. But, lesson learned, next time I will proudly say I learned 'Brazillian Portuguese'. I learned Brazillian Portuguese because: I love its sound, wonderful Brazillian smiling people, the country, the music, the nature and because I'd like to live there one day..

+Carlitox b it is, but not this one. I admire his knowledge of languages, but it's really USELESS without rich vocabulary. He knows how to compose sentences so they make sense - grammar, but his vocabulary is poor. But simply, he is not able to speak and communicate such as the guy that the certain language is native to him. He could not communicate in shop, restaurant, conference and on technical level. So this is REALLY USELESS. All he knows is a few (yes, it is a few, because the vocabulary could be really rich compared to his) words and a basics of language which is sentence composing and tenses, and the other grammar thing.
+Peter Ludek Learning languages takes time. The area between knowing nothing and being 100% fluent is large. He's somewhere in the middle, which is where every fluent person once was. The learning process is NEVER useless.

Vladimir Skultety Okie dokie, thanks for the tip :) I've been trying to learn Spanish all summer as I'm moving there in a few days, hopefully I'll be able to learn it quickly while living there :) Then again I lived in China and Poland but those languages were too much for me (so I was extra jealous hearing you speak them so nicely!), maybe Spanish is more my level!

+Rya Freij Hello and thank you very much for the nice words :) Actually I wanted to learn Arabic and one of the reasons why I learned Farsi was that it has a lot of Arabic loanwords, so that if I'd decide to learn Arabic later, it would be a bit easier for me. In the end I started to learn Chinese instead, but I hope that one day I will speak Arabic too.
Vladimir Skultety do learn Tagalog too! It's a pretty easy to learn language. Alphabet is written in the same way as English and words are in syllables as japanese. Should be easy for you!

I don't understand these questions, really. I would never ask anyone with an irritated tone: Why didn't you learn any Slovak (my native language)? I think everyone is entitled to learn what they want and I would definitely not be upset if someone wouldn't learn my native language. It's like a football player getting mad at everyone and asking why they don't play football. A lot of Greeks were even insulted that I didn't learn their language too..how can this be? I understand that Ancient Greek is an important language, but so is Sanskrit, Latin or Classical Arabic and I didn't learn those either. I didn't do it intentionally. I just never had the chance, opportunity or time to learn Greek or any of these languages. It actually feels really strange explaining something logical like this. My life evolved in a completely different way. I lived most of my life in Slovakia, two years in the USA, 5 years in Taiwan, 2 years in the Czech republic, most of the languages I learned I had to learn for work, school or for very practical reasons or because of some really strong attachment to the language. Why would I learn Greek? There was nothing disrespectful in my question. I honestly don't know why I should spend another 2-3 years of my life intensively studying Greek when: I don't live in Greece, I have no Greek friends (again, it's nothing intentional, it's just how my life evolved), I don't have plans to live in Greece, I don't work for a Greek company, I am not interested in Greek literature (again, nothing disrespectful), not interested in Greek history, am not particularly interested in understanding the roots of words like "epidermal, encephalon, telephone, chronometer.." and similar words in other European languages and so on. I wrote a similar response about Arabic and some people really got seriously insulted. I wasn't questioning the importance of Arabic at all.. of course it is an important language..I was just trying to explain that it's natural that you don't learn something. It's like me getting mad at you for not being a doctor, or something similar. And... even if Greek was the most important language in the world.. I still think everyone is at their own liberty to decide whether they would like to learn it or not. If Slovak was the most important language in history, I would never get mad, or feel insulted if someone decided not to learn it.
If you are still not speaking Serbian well you can learn it with me if you want
Vladimir Skultety yes you're absolutely right, I wish one day I will know more languages but I don't have much time for practice now, I only speak 3 languages really well (Ukrainian, Russian and English), and I'm learning 3 other languages (French, German and Czech). All I can say it would be very easy to you to learn Ukrainian, if you have ever been interested in it, i personally admitted that both Ukrainian and Russian helped me in learning Czech, but Ukrainian is a bit more similar to it. Also Hungarian and Slovak are popular to learn in a Zakarpattia region of Ukraine, especially near the border.
P.S. For me the easiest language is Belarusian, I've never learned it and still can understand 95% of it.
My EX YU friend,listen,why are you even bothering about those comments,you speak 19 languages which is impressive enough.Maybe i would feel a little disapointed if you didnt speak serbian but i know that all that dedication and hard work needs to be respected,so just BUDI OPUSTEN I VELIKI POZDRAV IZ SRBIJE!

Persian here: Wow, I'm really impressed with your Farsi. You had a few pronunciations difficulties, but for someone who hasn't practiced a lot and hasn't even been to Iran, it was very astonishing. Honestly, I think the major issue non-native speakers have with Farsi is the informal (casual) and formal differences. The textbook formula and whatever is taught in classes is primarily in formal Farsi. The informal Farsi is used in day-to-day conversations and seems more fluent and smooth than formal. You , for example, used many informal phrases which are common but then used the formal pronunciation of a word.
All in all, I'm not sure if others have the same feeling, but I feel very happy and proud to know that someone (who is not in the Middle-East) is willing to learn Farsi. It might not seem easy at first, but It has a whole culture behind it and certainly doesn't disappoint.
Thank you for making my day!!

Russians are. I'm not a Russian, but am aware they struggle with English. 99,9% (imho) movies they watch are dubbed in Russian. I see a lot of comments in rutracker[.]org (largest torrent tracker) where they say about movies, tutorials, learning lessons etc.: too shame its not in Russian etc. I understand - they are proud of their language, BUT lazy in language learning. Of course it does not apply to many young people. Even many Russian people who lives here in Latvia for generations, can't put together a simple conversation in Latvian. I speak Russian from 1st grade. Fluent from 5th grade. (now 31 years old). Who disagrees with me is a hypocrite (i mean Russians, whether they are from Russia or Latvia). Вот так вот {Russian}.

Wow, I was actually pretty impressed by your Polish, because even though I could hear you're not a native speaker, the accent was actually really, really good and your grammar was perfect, which is really uncommon for non-natives.
Are you polish
The secret to learn a language quickly and perfectly : really want to speak it from the bottom of your heart. I ve learned 18 years of dutch being forced by school and I cans speak way better spanish that I learnes 2 month by myself before to travel to latin america, because I wanted to speak it decently
Yeeeah I totally agree, I've been learning German for 6 years and I can barely remember any words. I've started lerning Spanish now because of tv series and I caught myself that in my head are sentences that I didn't even try to remember😉
Sally Michaels i also learn german in school for about six years and oh god, i hate it. i learned russian on duolingo for about month and i feel a lot more comfortable talking in russian than in german.
One has to be a musician and comedian and a monkey in his heart, so that one is not afraid to imitate the sound, melody and cadence of a foreign language or dialect. Interestingly, young children can learn a foreign language quickly and perfectly, but for some adults it is a problem for the rest of their lives. I do not have such a talent for languages, but I admire those who do.
I am dutch but my english is way better than my Dutch. Only because of yt vids and I do tto that means every lesson in school in English and not in dutch
You are from Wallonie or where did you have been forced to learn Dutch?

@@GratDuForloradeArgumentet Yes, there is. When the Hungarians were still in Asia, they were mixing a lot with the Turks, so their language also evolved similarly. Then fast forward to the 1500s, the Ottomans conquered Hungary for 150 years, that also left a huge impact on the Hungarian language.

maybe his grammar is not flawless in the languages, but his pronounciations are very good in every sinlge one of them
That makes me think that maybe he didn't read this from a script and perhaps really ad libbed it. That would be impressive indeed.
It depends I'm portuguese and his portuguese is very good but his pronounciation is very close to the brazilian one
I'm Brazilian, yeah it's definitely Brazilian accent, and I can say his vowels are on point; pretty impressive! No other foreigner I've heard before could make nasal vowels without sounding either a little off, or as if they're putting too much effort.
How do you know?
Sebastián Valentino
by simply knowing a few of the languages
Hello and thank you for all your comments. I wanted to answer some of the more frequent questions:
Q: What is your job?
A: I work as an interpreter of English, Slovak and Mandarin Chinese.
Q: What was the most difficult language you've ever studied?
A: Mandarin Chinese.
Q: How old are you?
A: I was 32 in the video, I'm 35 now.
Q: Which language do you like most?
A: Difficult to say, because if I didn't like the languages I speak, I would've never learned them, so I like every language I have studied for this or that reason but if I had to pick a favorite it would be: Hungarian, Russian, Cantonese and Persian.
Q: Which language do you dream in/think in?
A: I don't even know. Probably those that I use most often: Slovak, English, Mandarin.
Q: When did you start learning foreign languages?/How long did it take you to learn all the languages you speak?
A: I don't think there was a starting moment in my life. I grew up with 2-3 native languages and spoke 5 at an almost native level by the time I was 13 and just continued learning languages here and there as I grew up. As for how long it took me, it took me my entire life.
Q: Could you give me some tips to learn language XYZ?
A: Sure. I have a blog where I wrote probably everything I think about language learning (www.foreverastudent.com). Feel free to check it out. I could write here too but I would only be repeating myself.
Q: What is your secret?
A: There is no secret, only passion, lots of time spent on practice, good conditions and a bit of talent.
Q: Where are you from?
A: I was born and lived most of my life in Slovakia.
Q: You made a mistake in the French part. It shouldn't be 'ce video' it should be 'cette video'.
A: Thank you, I'll remember.
Q: You made a mistake in the Serbian part. It should't be 'kuči' but 'kući'.
A: Thank you. I realized it the moment I said it.
Q: The Spanish part was too short.
A: I know. I'll make a video where I speak only Spanish next time.
Q: You didn't learn Greek! You should be ashamed of yourself.
A: I got about 50 similar comments. I have no intelligent answer for this. People help me out:)
Q: Why didn't you learn Arabic? Armenian? Hindi? Indonesian? European Portuguese? Greek?... I'm dissapointed.
A: I never had a good reason or interest.
Q: Were you ever interested in learning Scandinavian languages?
A: Originally no, because I never had a chance or good reasons to learn them, plus it's too cold for me up there, but recently I read a book by Stieg Larsson and got a bit interested, so maybe I will.
Q: You don't speak Portuguese, you speak Brazillian. Why did you learn that ugly Brazillian Portuguese and not the real Portuguese from Portugal?
A: I must've gotten about 100 comments like this and worse. I honestly don't understand why all the hate against Brazillian Portuguese from Portugal. I just felt silly writing 'Brazillian' instead of 'Portuguese' especially since as far as I know the official language of Brazil is called Portuguese, not Brazillian. It's like saying I speak 'American' instead of 'English'. But, lesson learned, next time I will proudly say I learned 'Brazillian Portuguese'. I learned Brazillian Portuguese because: I love its sound, wonderful Brazillian smiling people, the country, the music, the nature and because I'd like to live there one day..
Q: Great Chinese but you speak with a Taiwanese accent.
A: I lived in Taiwan for 5 years. I don't know how to speak in any other way.

+Carlitox b it is, but not this one. I admire his knowledge of languages, but it's really USELESS without rich vocabulary. He knows how to compose sentences so they make sense - grammar, but his vocabulary is poor. But simply, he is not able to speak and communicate such as the guy that the certain language is native to him. He could not communicate in shop, restaurant, conference and on technical level. So this is REALLY USELESS. All he knows is a few (yes, it is a few, because the vocabulary could be really rich compared to his) words and a basics of language which is sentence composing and tenses, and the other grammar thing.

+Rya Freij Hello and thank you very much for the nice words :) Actually I wanted to learn Arabic and one of the reasons why I learned Farsi was that it has a lot of Arabic loanwords, so that if I'd decide to learn Arabic later, it would be a bit easier for me. In the end I started to learn Chinese instead, but I hope that one day I will speak Arabic too.
Vladimir Skultety Masz dobry akcent. Dobrze to brzmiało naprawdę :)
adrianCTR5 Dziekuje bardzo:)
Vladimir Skultety do learn Tagalog too! It's a pretty easy to learn language. Alphabet is written in the same way as English and words are in syllables as japanese. Should be easy for you!

Kimmy Chan I don't have a reason to learn Tagalog now to be very honest, but maybe one day:) Although I've never been there, Philippines are stunning, so who knows.
Srpski je odličan! Bravo! 👏🇷🇸
