Guess the Language with American Polyglot Tim Doner | Part 2

[@PolyglotPal]

Language challenge part 2! How many were you able to guess??

[@LinguaPhiliax]

How do you join these Zoom calls?

[@galgrunfeld9954]

Surprisingly I was able to guess all of them with the exception of Ancient Greek because I wasn't sure you'd consider it a dead language (as Greek is still spoken). Was very cool, I loved these! Please do more. :)

[@rivkyb7840]

5! Thank God

[@ichbingut2661]

5 languages.

[@galgrunfeld9954]

@@weltschmerz0 nice :) Even though he has at least a slight "accent" (away from the standard pronunciation) of all these languages, to people familiar how these languages sound, I think they can be identified VERY fast, mainly using a combination of intonation and sounds/sequences of sounds. What languages do you speak?

[@robinsonworld]

I messaged you back in 2015 when you were at Harvard, you might not remember but I asked you about contacting Noam Chompsky. Anyway, I am into indigenous languages and I am in Guatemala learning Chuj de San Mateo, and Q'anjobal which is proving a challenge now at almost 70 years of age, compared to when I learned German at 5 and Spanish at 18 and Sign Language at 60. You are an encouragement to all language learners and cementing the truth that the human mind is amazing.

[@frasenp8411]

You were one of my initial inspirations for getting into learning languages actually :D Now I am quite good in Arabic and Spanish, but also learning Persian, Hindi, Latin, Sanskrit, Portuguese and others :)

[@filipesouza8247]

Eu sou brasileiro se precisar de ajuda no portugues pode contar comigo.

[@hwaansswaanh3511]

انا عربي ، سعيد لانك تتعلم العربية 😊

[@GrigoryTingus]

man, was just watching that video of you speaking farsi when you were 15, and wow you have improved so much!! i mean, you were fantastic before but had an arab accent, but now it is so much more persian! well done, and i am so happy you decided to keep learning and practicing farsi all this time :) much love to you

[@XxRandomHeroxX9]

Please put out more content! I love seeing your progress over the last decade.

[@generationoftheworld]

Tim is back! I can't believe it. ❤️

[@X.00896]

Only didn't get Greek immediately, but then I already speak Arabic and Hebrew, studied Latin in school, and I've watched more anime than I should have.

[@mohamadasgari6449]

Tim it's good to see you again, after a while. I just Speak Parsi, Engish, French and Turkish. I adore your Parsi. Very cutely spoken. :)

[@anenthusiastic7853]

Knowing both Persian and French must feel good,for me these two,along side with German,are the most charismatic languages.Btw,how did you learn Turkish and why?As a Turkish myself it got me curious.

[@jasajasason9640]

Thats not ”just”, thats very impressive man. You speak four languages

[@pastelchapter9109]

Wow, your Persian shocked me. You did it so well!

[@byzantinegold]

Dude … its so flipping fun to hear you dance through such different languages. And you topped it off with the Classics!

[@zahra.polyglot]

Man, what were you doing for the entire 2 years of not being on social media . So happy that you are back

[@user-zt7nk4zy2k]

I must say that your Farsi accent is very good! احسنت^^👏👏

[@serenadianapuscasu7116]

I honestly got inspired by you Tim and ended up going from 5 laguages to almost 10 :,) great inspiration!

[@galgrunfeld9954]

יש לך קצת מבטא בעברית (ובשפות אחרות), אבל מעבר לזה, כל הכבוד! נהנתי מאוד לצפות בזה. :)

[@dyskr]

I never thought I’d see the day where Tim would either be back or his comment section would be full of $ € X bots 😭

[@thabetmuhannad1938]

it's nice to see again in your channel Welcome back Tim

[@aaminahasan6270]

I love your Arabic! You motivate me to carry on with my studies.

[@hwaansswaanh3511]

صح يتكلم العربية بطلاقة مثلنا !!!

[@stefangraeni8989]

Do you stopped making videos? i enjoyed your channel very mutch very good inspiration

[@esamohamady6770]

خوشحالم که برگشتی دلمون برات تنگ شده بود، من فقط تونستم ژاپنی و عربی رو درست بگم، ژاپنی رو هم چون انیمه زیاد می بینم برام تشخیصش راحت بود.

[@RenaissanceStrategist]

If you were to try and learn a new language from scratch, and you wanted to learn it as quickly as possible, what would you do? Let's say it was like Chinese and had thousands of letters you didn't recognize. Also, how fast do you think you could reach C1 with that method?

[@IbtihalMahmood]

Guessed all of them except Greek and Latin - need a refresher in Classics, apparently! By the way, your Arabic is amazing! Did you study it with a Maghrebi speaker? My native dialect is Shami/Levantine.

[@king_has_no_clothskul8635]

TIME IS TREMENDOUS! he can learn a language and speak it in 6 months and that too long time ago.

[@shaharula00]

When you speak Hebrew you have a bit of a french accent and it's adorable אתה אלוף

[@azzarara3274]

Such inspirationn.. Salam dari Indonesia 🙏🏻

[@Lynnieaiz]

I would love to participate. Can we sign up somewhere to do this I guessed all without your hints.

[@alexandriagonzalez7801]

Hi Tim! Have you ever considered learning Turkish? You've mastered all the other languages in the middle east. It would be interesting!

[@anenthusiastic7853]

He knows,not as much as Arabic or Persian but ge knows in a decent level.Btw,there are still languages like Kurdish(with at least 3 different dialects),Assyrian,Azerbajcani Turkish,and Armenian(due to some Armenians living in Syria) in Middle East.But yeah due to languages he already now,if he wnats he can speak all ME languages,at some level.

[@davidbradford-fb2330]

Tim is awesome!

[@carolinalopez-5144]

Omg long time no see! We’ve missed you!

[@SoroushTorkian]

She said Farsi so much for Arabic! One would think it would be the other way around. 🤭

[@СуперканалВлада]

bruh has anyone ever told you that younger you in the thnkr interview looks like ren amamiya this shit uncanny

[@samadistranslations8542]

با دیدن ویدیو های شما خیلی انگیزه می‌گیرم و می‌خواهم که باید زبان های زیادی یاد بگیرم

[@tannerfrancis1523]

Gotta love Tim! I will admit I got very few of these right - I've got some more work to do on my own language skills.

[@ronitschwartz68]

First one is easy, Hebrew. I'm fluent in Hebrew and French, and my mother tongue English.

[@stavroulapantelaki6170]

Well, I'm greek and I couldn't understant greek! Had to rewatch it and recognised a few words. Latin was much better though! Still amazing job you do there!

[@lebecccomputer287]

Wow I actually got them all right! The Ancient Greek one was kind of a guess though, and you gave away Latin too easy with the reference to Caesar’s death :p

[@VulcanTrekkie45]

I got them all! I really wanna try my hand at this with you sometime

[@ChristHell91]

I wish the contestants would go with the flow and gave more spontaneous answers, I was like: Say something, dude!

[@nomdeplume9590]

I'm surprised the first person missed the "Isreal"

[@محمدمهدیقهرمانینژاد]

Pashmam kheili rahaat farsi sohbat mikoni Aafarin

[@Hitomiaka]

[@farzanehroshanzamir6253]

چه خوب فارسی حرف می‌زنی. ایول. من تونستم هیبرو، عربی، ژاپنی و فارسی رو حدس بزنم.

[@AlexD-og8zr]

How can she jump from guessing turkish, russian and romanian?! They are such different languages!

[@Simon-fl1tl]

I could guess every language except Ancient Greek, even though I don‘t speak either of the languages in this video. Btw great to see you back on KZbin Tim, I hope to see more videos in the future 🙂

[@Ali-wb5ui]

سلام تیم هنوز در مرکز مطالعات ایران فعالیت داری؟

[@vilivillion2818]

hey im wondering, how did you start learning a language? id want to speak russian cuz its similar to my mothertounge so...

[@masoumeha]

Hi Tim ! I looking after you for while and now I found you and you are not active anymore 🥺 من وقتی که ویدیو شما رو دیدم فکر میکنم تو مصاحبه تلویزیونی با تلوزیون استرالیا بود.شما شعری از حافظ خوندی و من بسیار تحت تاثیر قرار گرفتم !! من خیلی با شما موافقم.بهترین جنبه ایران فرهنگ و خصوصا شعر اونه فارغ از همه چیز ، اگر بتونم فقط یک خصوصیت از ایران انتخاب کنم اون شعر هستش چیزی که بهش افتخار کنم و چیزی که میان تمام ناامیدی ها و شرایط بد ایران ، باعث دلگرمیه برای من شعره خصوصا مولوی ، ببخشید پر حرفی کردم اما امیدوارم دیده باشی کامنت منو درخشان باشی 💫

[@ronitschwartz68]

He gave her many hints! Yisrael = Israel Betach, is also "Of course".

[@kalim9249]

[@ronitschwartz68]

Easy, Arabic. I am American Israeli so I know a few words in Arabic as well.

[@yangerjamir0906]

He wouldn't have trouble communicating with locals in a lot of countries.

[@MrEVAQ]

Your accent sounds very French in Hebrew, but your Hebrew is really good

[@dizzyrjl3713]

5:13 ليست* i love ur videos

[@shybagh4578]

Hey Tim, just wanted to say that your farsi was spoken very well !

[@TommyTheWalker]

Have you ever tried Sicilian?

[@dbuc4671]

I originally misread the title as “guess the language with _other_ polyglots | tim doner” and was so confused at how so-called “polyglots” couldnt even guess basic languages like chinese and farsi and hebrew, but then halfway thru, reread the title, and realized it was “with _American_ polyglot | Tim Doner”. Lmfao 🤣 🤣 im sorry To the first two ladies for yelling at the screen about how they could call themselves as “polyglots” when they couldnt even guess basic languages like chinese. But, i admit, it wouldn’t really make sense to play “guess the language” with polyglots anyways, lol.

[@TommyTheWalker]

Got 4 right

[@yalibiran5941]

איזו השראה אחי, כל הכבוד!

[@tablacordia]

Tim: do you speak Spanish too? 😃

[@LoveDream-lr3df]

[@Felix-vq1ik]

[@TheOlegLviv]

Привіт Тімоті. Зараз намагаюся опанувати англійську, але ніяк не можу позбутися нав'язливої думки, що мені це не вдасться. Щоб опанувати мову треба мати надзвичайні здібності. Не опускаю рук, надихаюся твоїм прикладом, що все реально.

[@SoroushTorkian]

Can you timestamp your video please

[@gergelyzoltan8422]
