[@TheChunkyCrusader]

Yeah because speaking doesn't entail fluency always for every language

[@Navajonkee]

@@TheChunkyCrusader Well, "speaking" should entail at least a conversational level in said language. If you can share your own ideas in said language, then you speak it in my opinion.

[@TheChunkyCrusader]

@@Navajonkee but that level is around 1,000 words. Surely to be fluent per se, one needs to know more. Experts also don't agree what counts as words too or which words are goods ones. Now I would ask, what do you determine to be a conversation? Just simple chat like how one is doing or how one's day went or more?

[@Navajonkee]

Even then it’d take years and years and maybe couldn’t work). The problem is that she was just raised speaking English, so this isn’t possible. I speak Spanish, and know a fair amount of Portuguese and I can tell you she ain’t fluent.

André Gonçalves I am pretty sure that they both have incredible talent and skills to learn and speak in foreign languages, but tbh, Ukrainian and Russian part (as a native speaker) didn’t impress me at all. I’ve heard a few general phrases which are very often used by polyglots as a structure - it is a beautiful language - I don’t speak it well - I want to learn it, etc. And if you watch videos with other people who claim that they are polyglots, you will notice (even with subtitles) how they talk about same or close topics over and over again.

[@Hephasto]

It’s better to learn 2-3 languages and speak fluently so you can always rely on your skills, rather than dozens of them at a mediocre level. Not sure about other languages but her French and Russian for instance are very basic. Survival level to buy an ice cream and that’s it. What the point of impressing people for these ‘polyglots’? I personally speak like 4 or 5 foreign languages and only English pays off by far.

Pronunciation matters for shit. Not my problem. The impressive part is that they are 13, with maturity they will properly crystalize their pronunciation, before they even reach the end of their cognitive development. Though girls do mature much quicker than men, and seem to exhibit much earlier signs of intelligence, so I would say it's all very believable. I would recommend they learn whatever they want left, and then focus on reading greek and roman literature before the brain solidifies too much.

[@83hjf]

I can only judge on spanish but the only criticism I can make is that she does a very english thing of making the subject explicit every time. This is required in english, but, while understandable and to some extent, acceptable especially in certain regions, it's not correct spanish: "YO barro la casa, y luego YO limpio el piso, y mas tarde YO cocino" -> "barro la casa, luego limpio el piso, y mas tarde cocino" ("I sweep, then I mop, and later I cook"). There is no need of making the subject explicit as it's part of the verb conjugation. the excessive use of the explicit subject changes the meaning of a mundane sentence like that, to a more accusative tone: it's like you're saying "I do all of that, YOU don't help me at all". once she polishes that, it'll be excellent. her pronunciation of ñ is correct, unlike his: he pronounces ñ as a regular n.

This girl and any other who is a polyglot is truly amazing to me. It doesn't matter so much how the accent sounds. The effort is what counts, and like someone else said no fear of making mistakes! Think of all the job and travel opportunities. I think its kind of weird to advise someone to only focus on one language at a time, especially kids. The best time for people to learn multiple languages is at a young age. I really enjoyed this video. I'm so inspired.

[@marinarg7063]

I'm Spanish, and she really nailed the accent, she is really impressive and she is so talented. Just.. without words.

[@billyboi3897]

Definitely impressed with the accent. She speaks the Spanish much better than the guy. Her Spanish is years ahead of his. His Spanish sounds like the equivalent of what is taught here in the U.S. Spanish classes. I don't think his goal is complete fluency or native level. Maybe more like, "as long as I get words out that are placed correctly in a sentence, they'll understand me".

[@hecxhockgames4114]

As a Spanish speaker her accent is the best part, she still needs pronunciation work. She makes the same common mistakes and less common ones. But she is still very impressive

[@petrsimonenko9803]

Her Russian and Ukrainian are terrible. I do not understand anything. But still much better than my Hindi, Vietnamese or Japanese

[@smilemar8272]

She needs to improve but your right

As the other people said, she's not fluent in every languages in this video but being able to speak those many languages is just amazing whether it's fluent or not. And her confidence! She's very stunning

[@Sumit-rp5mx]

Yup.... Now at this time... She can easily be fluent in her other languages in 3-4 weeks. Her hindi is barely right, but can be masterd in 2 weeks easily

How in the hell can she do something like this.... especially being so young... it's FANTASTIC.... She would make a perfect cruise ship director....

[@gumdakji7207]

The kid speaks the languages like how a kid would think, it's not like she is just speaking the language, but thinking in that language and speaking what she wants

[@henry12h]

That's the right way to learn a language, I think she should focus in 5 or 6 languages and learn them to a c2 level.

[@kaninbullenyt1803]

Im confused, can you explain further?

[@helenhikari]

Her voice changes when she speaks other languages and it's become really kind of similar to the way natives speak. It's not about pronunciation of every word but the way she pronounce all sentences, like she feels where she needs to put more stress in the sentence. For example, l heard that in Japanese, Russian (her voice became harder, not that soft) and so on.
