So the Italian guy mentioned 4 or 5 other languages that he's learning. Yet people are laughing at his english. I'd like to know how many languages besides english the audience knows. I remember Scott saying he only knows english. That's pretty tacky to say the least. Don't laugh at people when they are speaking a foreign language, its alot tougher than it looks. Then people were laughing at the Russian girl. She had to learn an entirely new writing system/alphabet to learn english. Give her a break.

Nobody's laughing at their language ability, they were laughing with the speakers when they put little jokes in their videos. The first laugh was when the Italian guy put 'I am so generous' on the screen, and the second laugh was when the second caption came up. For the Russian woman, they laughed when she laughed in her video, and then again when she was talking about Spanish and French people not liking to learn English. Definitely not laughing at their accent or anything.

I'm not normally driven to be negative but i find this video to be really quite insightful in a negative way. i want to be clear the host is not the problem. I find the audience to be on the whole quite nice, but the part that annoyed me the most was the review of the videos, there was laughing from the audience, for the life of me i cannot see why, it is just so rude. Then there is the rating of the fluency, it was all over the place, but some of the commenters level of spoken English in my opinion was not so superior, i felt the criticism of the videos was a little unfair, in fact is struck me as hypocritical.

I think there was a mistake in the transcript of the italian. Maybe his correction of "bored", was not from "border" , but from an italian's tendency to pronounce a final vowel. I don't think his self correction was morphological. I think maybe it was transcribed incorrectly because of the transcriber's own UK ( NZ) pronunciation so that he (thornbury) heard an "er" suffix. possible?
