I know right! 😂 It’s like, a few sentences memorized in each language about how the language was learnt and about having friends that speak that language 😆 and about the language or grammar or pronunciation being difficult etc! I always laugh a lot when I hear those things! 😂 Apparently, one needs to have a lot of friends in many countries to be able to learn 30 languages! Lol!
I agree with you on Wouter, as far as impressive Russian speakers, one is Dutchman @arigovoritporusski, the other is Brazilian @vem a mim lingua russa, both of these guys speak with basically no accent, and easily hold conversations. I was born in USSR came here at age 9, i speak well and read well, writing for me in Russian is a problem.
He never really seems to work on his accent in any of the languages he studies at all, he probably overestimates how difficult it it to get a somewhat decent accent.
@@МарияИванова-у9к2д oh it seems like my question make people confused. I was not being sarcastic or critical at all. Just out of my pure curiosity. I'm currently learning russian so i'd like to hear how a native speaker would describe their own vocal placement, so that i could improve my accent just a little bit. In the video, he was commenting on Corduwener's placement, and that's why i came up with the question. There is no doubt that he's fluent in russian.
@@RyanMcK19 Do u have someone to practice with btw? Where are ypu from? I'm always curious about people who are willing to learn Russian. Like it's such unusual choice. Good luck to you bro😇
I think one can learn 20 or 30 languages fluently in about 10 years if one only learns pretty and easy languages (the languages on my list of languages I want to learn and improve are all pretty and easy category 1 and category 2 languages with Irish and Scottish Gaelic being the only category 3 languages on my list) and if one learns them all or most of them at the same time and if one focuses mostly on vocab and if one revises each word at least 30 times over a longer period of time and watches every video and movie with subs in the target languages, one shall learn all those words automatically, and, in a few years, the languages that were prioritized the most will get real fluent, as languages that were properly learnt tend to get better over time! I have over 50 target languages, and I started learning half of my target languages since I started learning languages on my own about fifteen months ago or so, and my Dutch is already upper advanced level and my Norwegian is advanced level and my Icelandic and Norse and German are upper intermediate level, plus I am also mid intermediate level in Welsh / Swedish / Portuguese / French / Italian, and in English I am writer level and in Spanish am native level as these two are my first languages that I’ve been passively learning since childhood, and in the other target languages I am beginner / mid beginner / upper beginner level! I don’t think yt ppl in general know many languages fluently tho, and only seem to know two and sometimes three languages fluently, including English and the first language that they were made to learn, but when it comes to most other languages, they usually seem to only learn the basics and the words that are used in conversations the most as well as a few sentences that they memorize in each language, but true fluency means knowing at least 15 thousand to 35 thousand base words in each language automatically! However, learning so many hundreds of thousands of words automatically takes a lot of time and dedication and going through a lot of vocab videos with hundreds and thousands of words over 30 times on different days and watching tons of videos on grammar and sounds and pronunciation etc and learning many lyrics and watching every videos with subs in the target languages etc, and not many learners are willing to do that as it’s a lot of hard work! But I am actually trying to do that as a full-time learner, so learning new languages and watching videos with subs in target languages in all I do all day every day, as I am really obsessed with learning languages and I am extremely obsessed with the Norse languages and the modern Celtic languages at the moment, so, I have to learn and know these languages, there is no way around it, so one who is truly obsessed with pretty languages and truly wants to know the words well for their prettiness and artistic / poetic value would have the dedication and motivation to learn all those words, as pretty words and pretty languages are naturally motivating, but most learners that only see languages as a way to communicate and that aren’t looking at the artistic value of the pretty words from pretty languages tend to only learn one or two languages to a B1 level, but usually most learners tend to give up on learning a language after a while, as most learners are also not willing to do the hard work and learn all those words automatically, since most ppl are always trying to find shortcuts that do not exist, so when they realize that there are no shortcuts to true fluency, they lose motivation and give up on learning that language!
By the way, my list here contains most of my target languages, and, at the moment I am... - upper intermediate level in Old Norse and Icelandic and German - writer level in English + native speaker level in Spanish - upper advanced level in Dutch + advanced level in Norwegian - mid intermediate level in Swedish and Portuguese and French and Italian and Welsh - beginner level in Breton and Hungarian and Gothic and Latin and Faroese and Galician and Danish and Slovene - total beginner in Cornish and Manx and Irish and Scottish Gaelic and Yola and Scots Doric and Aranese and Elfdalian and Gallo and Limburgish and Occitan and Luxembourgish and Catalan and Urkers and Hunsrik and East Norse and Ruhrpöttisch and Alemannic and Ripuarian and Swiss German and Pälzische Deutsch and Austrian German and Waddisch and Palatine German and Westföälsk Sassisk and Austro-Bavarian and PlatDeitsch and Greenlandic Norse and Friulian and Pretarolo and Sardinian and Neapolitan and Sicilian and Venetian and Esperanto and Walloon and Ladin and Guernsey and Norn and Burgundian and Sognamål and West Frisian and North Frisian and East Frisian and Yiddish and Afrikaans and Finnish and Latvian and Estonian and MīdEnglish and Ancient Dutch and Ancient English and Ancient Icelandic and Ancient Faroese and Ancient Norwegian and Ancient Danish and Ancient Swedish and Ancient Welsh and Ancient Breton and Ancient Cornish and Ancient Manx and Ancient Irish and Ancient Scottish Gaelic and Mīd Icelandic and Mīd Faroese and Mīd Norwegian and Mīd Danish and Mīd Swedish and Mīd Welsh and Mīd Breton and Mīd Cornish and Mīd Manx and Mīd Irish and Mīd Scottish Gaelic etc (and the other languages based on Dutch and German and Norwegian and Italian and French that haven’t been officially recognized as a language yet, even though they are different languages with different spelling etc, and, the words that were different in Ancient French etc) (The prettiest languages ever Norse and Icelandic and Dutch and English and Norwegian and Gothic and Faroese and Welsh etc are definitely a must-know!)
Is he claiming to be fluent in Russian or just being able to speak it? I mean even in his bio it says “29 languages on different levels” and he seems to be able to hold a conversation in Russian. I guess the answer is he’s telling the truth? 🤷♀️
Honestly speaking, your rating regarding the determination of his English level is quite wrong. As for me and many others I suppose, his level is actually B1 or close to B1. I reckon he is able to speak Russian albeit with grammar and pronunciation mistakes. If he were a A2 learner, his sentences would be much shorter and simpler. However, in the grand scheme of things, I agree with your language assessment in terms of his accent, mistakes and the moments when he sounded off, too long and difficult to understand, which by the way, is totally acceptable and understandable. Having many pauses while communicating is a common occurrence among language learners. It will disappear once you start improving your language skills on a daily or constant basis.
Я посмотрел еще одно видео и честно говоря твой русский звучит со слышимым акцентом и твоя компоновка слов на тонких моментах выдает тебя: 00:21 «я говорю на русском/я знаю русский» фраза русскоязычный человек режет слух 02:08 раньше 03:54 «достаточно хорошо» фраза достаточно впорядке выдает тебя 04:00 обособлено 05:15 простые фразы твой русский прекрасен но я бы сказал что ты из прибалтики если бы заговорил с тобой где-то случайно, я написал этот комментарий только из за того что крайне экспертно рассуждаешь, наверное так и звучит лингвамарина для нейтивов
@@iwannabeyourdog4195 не могут? русский на самом деле уникальный язык в том что в нем фактически нет диалектов, люди со всей рф и даже немного за ее пределами говорят на одном и том же русском. если сравнить его с украинским то читать текста написаные та тем же Шевченко порой очень сложно из за диалектов и старых слов, часто можно просто не понять прочитанного лол, никогда не сталкивался с трудностями чтения старой русской литературы, не знаю почему но этот язык словно застыл во времени

A1... this is basically, saying my name is. I am from... and I eat, I look, I sit, I talk etc. A2.... this is when you learn because I want... I eat because I need to... I learn German so that I can find a job. In honesty, your rating system is wrong. I studied German to C1 in Germany via Goethe Institut and started at A1 and did 1000+ hours of study, italki and courses.... To be realistic, he speaks A2-B1. Find real A1 speakers and you'll realise that you're being too harsh on Luca.
@@melaniegrace7707 that was a reference to the other video. Of course I know this is not luca. He basically thinks luca is slightly better and the difference is super massive
@@jsantiago.b I don't disagree, he is definitely not bad at Russian but from his grammar, word choice, and accent, he doesn't seem to be as confident as someone who is B1 in Russian (ex language simp). Maybe I was too hard on him and A2 would suite as a more accurate rating.
Damn, is Russian that easy? I’ve studied Chinese for 4 years, and only passed the old HSK 3! Passing above it is difficult, HSK3, it’s not enough to say you’re B1!
I think that it's cool that he's trying. You've got to get if anyone props for trying to learn language! It's funny that he use была in the past tense; he probably didn't realize that he was using the feminine gender to talk about himself. Oopsy!
He, like many of the others, never claimed he's an expert in all languages that he speaks. He's better with a few languages and speaks like a 6 year old in others. I think he's fun and we get to see how he essentially practice languages on tourists. I don't get what's so controversial.
"Один из языков, который Уолтер говорит, что он умеет говорить на". Автор, Вы же понимаете, что эта фраза калька с английского? Прослушал несколько Ваших видео и удивлялся, вроде автор говорит по-русски хорошо, но есть мелкие грамматические ошибки, невозможные для носителя, и есть лёгкий акцент. Думаю, что русский для Вас не родной.
Насколько я знаю, автор родился в Канаде, но, в русской семье, то есть, при нем говорили на русском, однако, в остальное время он говорил на Английском. Поэтому, создается впечатление того, что он не является носителем Русского языка.
