Italian guy speaking 9 languages! (+2) [Polyglot Language Snapshot]

YOU CAN SKIP THE INTRO BY JUMPING TO 2:05 (REMEMBER TO ACTIVATE SUBTITLES!)
Hi everybody, my name's Stefano and this is my Language Snapshot 2017, my first-ever video for KZbin, and despite some cuts it's still quite... long! Skip the introduction (2:05) if you want to listen directly to the other languages.
Languages spoken:
00:25 English
02:20 German
04:11 Portuguese
05:28 French
07:30 Finnish
09:19 Spanish
10:18 Japanese
12:24 Romanian
14:17 Italian
14:45 (Mandarin and Icelandic, only one sentence each)
Further notes:
- this video was recorded in Apr. 2017 on two different days and at different times of day, so I apologize for the sudden changes in lighting (whoever has spent some time in Brussels knows just how it is like here :D).
- This is a long overdue video and I'd like to thank all my friends (not only polyglots!) for their encouragement to finally reach out and join in...
- While I am aware of some mistakes that I made in this video, I do appreciate corrections because these can make me a better speaker, thank you in advance for your help.
- A couple of things in these video are already "old", in that the most recent Polyglot Gathering was in Bratislava at the beginning of June this year, I was there as well and it was a lot of fun! Also, in the meantime I've been in Romania for the third time and I loved it once again, had many opportunities to practice the language and (hopefully) improved my conversational skills (still need to work A LOT on my vocabulary though).
- I promise that my next videos will be much, much shorter... :)

So many comments about your Finnish skills. As you can see, we Finns rarely see or meet people who speak Finnish yet don't live in Finland. It's always a miracle to see someone who speaks even a bit, but to see someone speak as well as you is almost unheard of, if we don't count the people living here of course.

[@linguaEpassione]

I am flattered by the kind comments and they encourage me to keep going, but I do know that I still have a lot to learn and that learning never ends :)

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I highly recommend learning Dutch / Old Norse + Icelandic / Norwegian which are one of the prettiest and most refined / unique / melodic / gorgeous / distinctive / poetic languages ever, as they are as pretty as English and are one of those languages that are just too pretty not to know, being the prettiest languages ever and a true work of art, and also Gothic / Danish / Faroese / Welsh / Breton / Galician / Hungarian / Gallo etc, they are all gorgeous languages with almost only pretty words, and German and Swedish and Luxembourgish and the Frisian languages and all other Germanic languages and the other 4 modern Celtic languages (Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic) and Slovene and Pretarolo / Walloon / Sardinian / Esperanto / Latin / Occitan etc are also gorgeous, so they are all super fun to learn and a great option, so I highly recommend learning them all or any of them / some of them etc - I always choose languages based on their prettiness / how many pretty words they have and on how organized their aspect is, and the languages I am learning are mostly category 1 languages and category 2 languages and a few category 3 languages, so they are also easy to learn, and I have over 50 languages on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, plus I am already writer level in English and native speaker level in Spanish, having learned these two languages passively in / since childhood, which is definitely a huge advantage, and when it comes to the newer languages that I started learning on my own about one year ago, I am learning 15+ languages at the same time because it saves a lot of years and decades and also because learning multiple pretty languages at the same time makes the learning process a lot more fun, and I am advanced level in Dutch, close to advanced level in Norwegian, close to intermediate level in Norse / Icelandic / Welsh, intermediate level in German / Swedish / French / Portuguese / Italian, beginner level in Breton / Hungarian / Slovene / Danish / Faroese / Gothic, and total beginner in most other languages, and I can say that language learning is one of my favorite hobbies, and the learning process itself is very enjoyable, because seeing all the pretty words and always discovering more new pretty words (which are a true work of art) brings a lot of joy to the eye / ear, so learning so many pretty languages is also very motivating in itself!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Re difficulty level, Finnish is an easy category 2 language with a relatively simple aspect and a very easy category 1 pronunciation, tho not as easy to learn as Hungarian and Icelandic etc, and Icelandic / Norse / Gothic etc and the other ancient Germanic languages are the easiest category 2 languages in spelling with an easy category.1 pronunciation and a word memorability similar to that of the words from the prettiest and easiest category 1 languages like English / Dutch / Norwegian etc, because Norse words and Icelandic words etc are just as pretty as English / Dutch / Norwegian words, and one’s hern / mind tends to naturally learn and remember the prettier and more distinctive words faster, so technically, the prettier the language and the more pretty words it has, the easier it is to learn / memorize its words, as the prettier a word is, the less repetitions it takes - most Hungarian words are super pretty and are comparable to Germanic words’ prettiness level, same as the words from the modern Celtic languages, so Hungarian words are easier to memorize than most Finnish words, even though they are both agglutinative languages, which means that, they have a similar format or aspect, and, the prepositions are referred to as postpositions and are added to the end of the nouns and written as one word, so agglutinative languages may seem harder to a beginner that isn’t used to languages that have this type of format and grammar, but once one understands how agglutinative languages work, it’s pretty easy to use them, and I am actually learning both Hungarian and Finnish, so I am kind of used to the format as I’ve known these languages for a long time, and I understand how they work, but qua word memorability itself, most Finnish words take more repetitions (to become part of the permanent memory and automatic memory) than most Hungarian words in general because most Finnish words aren’t as pretty as most Hungarian words are, but many of them are still pretty and lots of them are neutral, so it shouldn’t be too hard to learn overall, especially when compared to the hardest languages ever such as Chinese (category 10) and Arabic (category 9) and Japanese / Thai / Vietnamese (Category 8) etc which are impossible to learn to true fluency with impossible scripts and characters and super complicated pronunciation with tones etc that only have very few pretty words and are naturally very hard to memorize, so I would say, it would be possible to get fluent in languages such as Finnish and Estonian in a few years, maybe 5 or 6 years, and in language like Hungarian in about 3 years or more, depending on one’s learning methods and on how much time one spends learning languages etc...

[@FrozenMermaid666]

However, Icelandic and the other Germanic / Norse languages could be learnt to fluency in 2 or 3 years or even faster, because Germanic languages are naturally super easy to learn and the easiest languages with the most organized aspect, so most Germanic words naturally take way less repetitions than the words from most other languages, and the modern Celtic words such as Welsh / Breton words etc are also super memorable, like Germanic words, as they are quite similar, so I can automatically remember most Germanic words and most Celtic words after seeing them less then 5 or 6 times, and most Dutch / Norse / Icelandic / Norwegian / Welsh / Breton words after seeing them 2 or 3 to 5 times, as they are naturally very memorable (they naturally stand out, being super well-constructed with great letter combinations and gorgeous word endings that make the words so perfect and give them that perfect flow and harmony) and they tend to stick to the hern like glue! I have already learnt over 2.000 words in Icelandic and in Norse and over 8.500 base words in Dutch and over 5.000 words in Norwegian and over 1.000 words in Welsh and about 500 words in Breton etc without even trying too hard, and I only started learning languages on my own one year ago, and a few months ago I started focusing on Norse languages more, plus I am doing 15+ languages at the same time, so I know that these languages are very easy to learn and memorize and easy to get used to! English is the most expressive language and the easiest to use tho, as it was designed that way and also oversimplified on purpose, so it’s very important that one never try comparing one’s level in other languages to the level of fluency one has in English, because one could never express ideas in any other languages as one can in English, because English is the easiest language ever and the easiest to use and the easiest to think in and the easiest in every other way, and also because English has a lot more words and idioms / phrases / slang etc and descriptive terms than any other language, so one can express ideas in English in very detailed ways that aren’t possible in other languages, so one who learns languages should know not to compare one’s level and fluency etc in other languages to the level and fluency one has in English, as this can make one feel less motivated because one is always going to be able to express things in English very easily and with a fluency and accuracy that isn’t really possible in other languages!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Old Norse is one of the prettiest languages I’ve ever seen, it has real gorgeous words like erfiði / yfir / haf / vindr / dyn / skegg / dróttinn / veit / drengr / fjall / hǫnd / fisksins / lengr / hvassir / rauðr / hvarr / grænn / hvat / líkligr / hǫss / afi / frændi / heitir / veð / hráka / þó / kvern / mælti / hét / setja / hinn / kveða / sinn / leið / brott / knerri / við / dýr / með / heyra / eða etc, and the word endings (like nir and inn and sins etc) and the letter combinations are so pretty, just like the word endings and letter combinations in English and Dutch and Norwegian, and it’s very similar to Icelandic, words cannot express how pretty and poetic Norse / Icelandic / Germanic words are, technically, every Germanic language is a real work of art, and Norse + Icelandic are so magical and elvish, just like Dutch / English / Norwegian, real special languages, so they are super fun to learn - I can’t stop learning new pretty words in Old Norse and Icelandic (and the other pretty languages) and they are really áddìctive to look at and read and hear in lyrics etc, I’ve been listening to Skáld songs in Old Norse and Icelandic since I found the first song in Old Norse (Troll Kalla Mik) and I’ve memorized most of those lyrics!

[@masterticcu35]

Your Finnish put a huge smile to my face, you spoke it so well I can't believe it :D You should be very very proud of yourself man!! All that just learning by yourself, absolutely amazing.

[@linguaEpassione]

It is messages like yours that make my day... KIITOS KOVASTI! This is also a big, big encouragement to make more videos in Finnish in the near future - I honestly can't wait because, as I mentioned, it's been my favorite language for quite some time now, so it's going to be a pleasure :)

Kun taas vaihdoit suomen kieleen, niin olit todella vakava. 😂 xD People like you make me believe that at some point i really can be fluent in the languages im currently learning, like russian, farsi (persian), swedish and english.

I love watching other polyglots because of their accents for each language! As a polyglot, I know for sure that accents are hard.

It's good to hear. I love it.

Holy hell my mouth dropped when I heard your Finnish?! I'm a bilingual Finn (Finnish & Swedish) but also speak Japanese and I am so impressed?? Your Finnish has an insanely natural, nativelike connotation and flow. I believe the difficulty in learning Japanese and Finnish is that both languages are very culturally bound, meaning that the language rotates around the cultures heavily. Also I think for non-native speakers phonetics are not that easy, but you are doing a great job! I'm sure if you lived in Japan for a short while you'd sound native in no time. Based on your Icelandic you'd pick up any other Nordic language too! 👏👏👏

[@Daniel-wi6sk]

Just discovered your channel ! Apart from your amazing skills, I noted your comment about the abiliy to read a book in each of the foreign languages that you master. That for me is the ultimate yardstick, and probably the ultimate goal : literature in the language it was written in. Apart from my native language (French) I can read in 3 (and a half…) more languages. For two other languages, I read the translation in French, but with original text on the side. I’m convinced that’s a great way to improve !

[@ITALIamo]

Complimenti per gli accenti (per le lingue che conosco, naturalmente)! Io sono riconoscibile dopo una frase per quel che riguarda la mia provenienza (anche con l'italiano, a volte) :S

[@linguaEpassione]

Grazie per il commento e davvero complimenti per il tuo canale, sei molto bravo :D

[@CMV314]

I love this video! But what makes this even better is that you seem to do this because you love languages, and not to show off.

[@linguaEpassione]

I can't express how much I appreciate your comment... Somehow that's very important to me and I am so, so happy that you mentioned it. Thanks for stopping by and for the very nice comment!!!

[@mysticalcatnip221]

SO amazing! I love it!

[@temenurminen]

WOW! Kannatti eksy KZbinen taas. :) Kuten muutkin ovat jo täällä todenneet, puhut ihan älyttömän hyvin suomea! On uskomatonte, että olet kaiken lisäksi oppinut sen aivan itse. xO Tämä videosi antoi minulle uutta motivaatiota jatkaa japanin kielen itsenäistä opiskelua. Oli mukava huomata, että ymmärsin suurin piirtein, mitä sanoit. :) I hope you keep making videos in the future. This made my day! :)

[@linguaEpassione]

Vau, ja sun kommentti teki mun "day" :) Kiitoksia oikein paljon että jaksoit katsoa ja jopa kirjoittaa sellaisen inspiroivan kommentin - aion kyllä tehdä ainakin pari videota kokonaan suomeksi, nyt kun vihdoinkin mulla on pikkasen enemmän aikaa, eli stay tuned :)

[@temenurminen]

linguaEpassione I will. :)

[@AnimationtvChannel2]

Wow! Sinun suomi on tosi hyvää! Kuulostat ihan natiivilta! 😊

[@linguaEpassione]

Kiitos! Ja Gorillaz:n musa on mielettömän hyvää! B-)

[@AnimationtvChannel2]

linguaEpassione Ole hyvä ja joo, Gorillaz:n musiikki on tosi hyvää! :D

[@jekku2045]

Do you ever feel or realize the "tone" differences between languages? As Spanish and Italian sound a lot "happier" languages than Finnish mostly. :D Keep it up man that was amazing.!

[@coconutwaffle4999]

Olet aivan uskomattoman hyvä puhumaan Suomea! Olen Suomalainen, myös erittäin kiinnostunut eri kielistä, ja katsoin siksi tätä videota, kun yhtäkkiä aloit puhua Suomea. Yllätyin kovasti, ja vielä enemmän hämmästyin kun kuulin kuinka lähes täydellisesti sitä puhuit! En ole varmaan ikinä kuullut ketään ulkomaalaista joka puhuisi noin hyvin! Mahtavaa, jatka samaan malliin :)

[@charmaineolmedo2457]

Just found you and subscribed.Keep up the good work. I am an English native speaker that just learned German nicht perfekt aber genug. I am also learning Italian and I speak Spanish fluently.This video encouraged me. Thank you

[@whiteisland88]

素晴らしい！　あなたの日本語はとても上達しています。ネイティブスピーカー（日本語話者）の抑揚になっています。イントネーションなど、細かなところも十分に体得されています。書き言葉、文字の美しさをお褒めいただきましてありがとうございます。日本語は、書き言葉としては漢字、ひらがな、及びカタカナにより構成され、それぞれの文字の持つ形状の特徴から、センテンスの脈絡を把握するうえで、視認性にとても優れた言語であると言えます。もちろん、話し言葉も音声の響きの良さに定評があります。これからもいろいろな言語を習得されるなか、日本語についてもますます励まれますようお願いします。ありがとうございました。

[@carlcarl4891]

你在说什么？

[@andreafedericopieri2998]

Can anyone traslate this?😅 I’d like to know what he wrote

[@eev24eshmolikali]

Google Translate says for this Japanese Passage: "Great! Your Japanese is very progressive. It is an inflection of native speaker (Japanese speaker). Intonation etc, detailed details are also sufficiently acquired. Thank you for praising the written language and the beauty of the letters. Japanese is composed of kanji, hiragana and katakana as a written language and can be said to be a very good language for visibility to grasp the context of the sentence from the features of the shape of each letter. Of course, there is a reputation for the spontaneousness of speech sound as well as spoken language. I hope that you will be encouraged more and more in Japanese as you learn various languages from now on. Thank you very much". Since we know that Google Translate is not always accurate for every language, please check with "whiteisland88" to see if this is what Hän ( suomen kieltä ) (he/she in Finnish) did mean.

[@andreafedericopieri2998]

Анастасия Юрь Ева oh, thank you!

[@veli-pekkahiltunen8262]

Puhut hyvää suomea. Hitaasti ja selvästi.

[@AbuCihan]

That was really nice. As for myself, I am only l fluent in five languages and, like you, I love switching around from one language to the next. Congratulations.

[@annagromova9987]

Hello Stefano! I really liked your video, just stumbled upon your channel by chance today and got so happy! What impressed me the most is the selection of languages you learn/ed! Because I can totally relate! I speak English, Finnish and German too besides Russian as mother tongue, and my favourite vieras kieli is absolutely Suomi. Besides I am learning some Farsi because it’s my boyfriends mother language. AND! I have always planned to learn Icelandic and Japanese in future😄 AND I used to dislike French, but recently thought that as well as Deutsch is great for reading classic literature. So keep in touch, I absolutely follow your channel! Good luck and have a nice week! - Anna

[@helenlloyd4509]

I could understand everything you said in Finnish, fabulous.

[@KeyDachine]

"Desafortunadamente no hablo muy bien español". Hablas mejor que yo! Eso que soy de Argentina 😂😂😂 Hablas excelente para haber aprendido español solo 3 años.

[@linguaEpassione]

Muchas gracias! xD Tal vez sea porque somos hermanos! :)

[@_TheAlexLee]

Wow wow wow, congratulations. This is very inspiring to learn new languages! Complimenti!!

[@linguaEpassione]

Thank you Alex, grazie mille! :)

[@CapitanSombreroMotovlogs]

Fascinante, Stefano.

[@Flavio1218]

Wow, you're amazing! :D You get the accents of the languages very well! E o teu português é verdadeiramente incrível! Sou português, e também adoro falar línguas estrangeiras. :) Estás à vontade para praticar o teu português comigo (e em troca praticaria o meu italiano, ahah)! Um abraço! ;)

[@linguaEpassione]

Olá Flavio! Em primeiro lugar, obrigadíssimo pelo comentário tão amável! Em segundo lugar, eu estaria sim interessado num intercambio de línguas, e porque não pt-it contigo? :) Não sei se existe um sistema de mensagens privadas aqui no YT, mas se quiseres e tiveres tempo, contacta comigo e vamos falar!

[@Flavio1218]

De nada! :D Fiquei muito contente por ver um italiano a aprender português! :) Por mim seria perfeito esse intercâmbio! :D Come possiamo fare? Abbracci dal Portogallo! ;)

[@linguaEpassione]

Non trovo un modo per inviare messaggi privati su KZbin, vuoi provare a contattarmi su Italki? Così poi parliamo su Skype!

[@lucasabreu537]

estás a falar muito bem! abraços de Portugal..Deus o abençoe

[@linguaEpassione]

Obrigado Lucas! Mal posso esperar para voltar a Portugal... Acho que no ano que vem vai dar certo!

[@tankar9974]

Complimenti! Sono un insegnante di inglese, ma parlo anche spagnolo francese e cinese ed è bello vedere con quanta passione e umiltà ti approcci allo studio! Appena iniziato il video mi sono incuriosito, pensavo fossi tedesco perché il tuo inglese ha un leggero accento teutonico. Poi quando hai raccontato la tua storia tedesca ecco spiegato il mistero :D continua così!

[@mje9946]

Eres genial!!! Me has sorprendido gratamente tu acento en español y eso que dices que no es tan bueno como el portugués, por ejemplo... me he quedado prendada al escucharte precisamente en portugués, ese será mi próximo objetivo ;) ahora mismo estoy metida de cabeza con el francés porque he conocido a alguien maravilloso y él sólo habla su lengua materna. Yo hablo inglés y me manejo muy bien en italiano, de hecho viajé a Roma el pasado junio yo sola y me sorprendí de mi misma por no haber utilizado ni una sola palabra en inglés... Antes de meterme con el francés, estudiaba japonés (todos los idiomas de forma autodidacta, menos el inglés), una lengua que ADORO y que es todo un reto para mi, madre de tres criaturas, divorciada y trabajadora... en resumidas cuentas, con poquísimo tiempo para el que yo defino mi hobby, aprender idiomas... así que sí, eres toda una motivación para muchísima gente y yo entre ellas... Un fuerte abrazo desde España... suerte con el chino y el islandés :)

[@malena1775]

You do speak really good Romanian !

[@chika31357]

Your Japanese is really really good!! I’m so impressed and respect you!!

[@linguaEpassione]

本当ですか？ありがとうございます！道のりは長いですので、頑張ります！

[@ionelcalinmicle6176]

You motivated me to learn more languages. Grazie!

[@linguaEpassione]

Hey man, thank you for saying this, that's ultimately why I decided to start making these videos!

[@KamilaTekin]

Your speaking skills in all those languages are impressive! Also, you seem so natural in your first video. My first ever video in English was a mess haha.

[@linguaEpassione]

Hey Kamila, thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind words! I've heard a lot about you from our mutual friend - keep up the good work :)

[@anittaqueen5272]

Fala português muito bem. Parabéns!

[@olgakisieva4645]

Mulțumesc pentru limba Română, foarte frumos o vorbești.

[@migue7490]

I really enjoyed your video. The accuracy in every language surprise me. I'm a sad monolingual man, but I can recognize some language although i don't understand very well what are you saying. Your spanish is amazing!, there was not any bad mistakes. Greetings!

[@TheMonis25]

Hello, really great video! I liked it very much :) I have been learning Spanish for about a year now, I have to say that I really love that language. I am also interested in Finnish and Finnish culture, and your video has persuaded me that this language is not impossible to learn - it only takes much effort (and time, I suppose) to learn it. Thank you very much for making this video! I wish you all the best with your future language studies !

[@linguaEpassione]

Yes, it requires times and effort but the satisfaction of succeeding is even greater :) Thank you so much for your comment and success with your studies as well!

[@igorjee]

Now that your Finnish pronunciation is so good, it would be interesting to hear you speaking Hungarian one day. Every foreigner butchers it.

[@unknownzzz5115]

For some strange reasons Finnish and Italian have the same pronunciation (the word sounds exactly how it is written) so at least for the pronunciation it is easier for an Italian than let’s say a native English speaker to learn it… and for the same reason almost every foreigner speaking Italian does it quite well in terms of vocabulary and grammar but the pronunciation is always off

[@robin9207]

Sei spettacolare, davvero! Ti ammiro tantissimo. Svelaci I tuoi segreti hahahaha davvero molto bravo.

[@linguaEpassione]

Grazie Roberta, sei troppo gentile!!! :) Ahimé di grandi segreti non ce ne sono, ci vuole tanta passione e dedizione, e certamente tempo, come in tutte le altre cose che si imparano e si fanno come hobby, se ci pensi... pensa solo a uno strumento musicale, uno sport impegnativo, una disciplina orientale, chi più ne ha più ne metta :)

[@Naturmuslima]

Thanks so much. This Polyglot idea changed my life so much. Language is simply a key to soooo many things. It pushed me to an extend İ couldnt dream of before. And just by the way İ even learnt to love my native language German, which I didnt before.

[@linguaEpassione]

I'm so, so happy to hear that :) Thank you for watching and commenting! I've looked at your channel, congratulations, you're doing a great job there!

[@emmanueltartagal9410]

¡Hola, Stefano! Como llego más de un año tarde a este hermoso video, seguro que lo que te voy a decir ya te lo dijeron antes, pero no importa, ahí va: ¡Tu español es excelente! :D No hubo nada de portuñol, fue todito castellano claro, muy bien pronunciado y supercomprensible. Este video es una fuente de inspiración para los amantes de los idiomas que venimos detrás tuyo. Saludos y abrazo desde Argentina.

[@linguaEpassione]

Muchas gracias Emmanuel! Este tu comentario es una fuente de inspiración para mi para que sigue teniendo confianza en mi castellano aunque no lo hable casi jamás. Un abrazo desde Bélgica y otra vez muchas, muchas gracias!

[@emmanueltartagal9410]

Agradeço muito o seu comentário, Felipe!

[@dess419]

Fantastic!!! Vorbesti romaneste fara greseli! Felicitari, si mult succes in continuare! Cu cele mai bune urari, din California... Despina S.

[@linguaEpassione]

Mulțumesc frumos! Cred că fac încă câteva greșeli inevitabile când vorbesc repede dar știu că pot să-mi îmbunătățesc română dacă continui să fac eforturi :) Încă o dată sunt fericit că ți-a plăcut videoclipul!

[@sssalsera]

I love your channel!

[@linguaEpassione]

Thank you Silviana, and I love making videos for you guys! I'll be back with new ones very soon (the summer has been pretty rough but I'm back now) ;D

[@VM-ch1zx]

Gostei demais do seu Português!! Parabéns!!!

[@Liflecken]

Você fala português muito bem e seu sotaque é lindo! Parabéns!

[@linguaEpassione]

Obrigado Ligia, tu é que falas também com sotaque de Portugal?

[@Liflecken]

Não, sou brasileira, mas amo o sotaque dos portugueses. Seu sotaque é impecavelmente europeu.

[@FabiusStephanus]

You speak spanish very well and perfectly understandable even though you said you didn't speak it that well but i think you do speak it like a native speaker and same goes for your Japanese since i'm currently learning this. You motivated me a lot from your videos and very proud of you.

[@linguaEpassione]

Hey ファビオさん、you really think so? Wow, ありがとうございました！I am always modest with my Spanish because I don't feel confident at all, but your kind words help!

[@FabiusStephanus]

@@linguaEpassione Thx!!

[@user-sj9eo9ig8s]

Meus parabens. Você é o melhor, eu falo 4 línguas entre níveis intermediario e avançado. Mas quando falo eu confundo muito umas com as outras. Que deveria fazer para melhorar esta dificuldade que eu tenho? De repente você poderia me dar alguns dicas sabias para eu aperfeiçoar. (Não sou nativo do Português)

[@MultiSciGeek]

That was really good. Keep it up :D

[@jezinky]

Kaikki on sanonu jo tän, mutta sä puhut tosi hyvin suomea. Klikatessa videota en osannu odottaa et sun kielitaito on noin hyvä! Tää video sai taas mun motivaation opiskella vieraita kieliä kasvamaan yhä suuremmaksi. Opiskelen japania, koreaa ja slovakkia kotona. Mandariinikiinaakin on tullut opeteltua, tosin kielitaito ei oo kovin hyvä(pitäis varmaan etsiä tunteja tai ainakin joku opettamaan xd). Koulussa tulee opiskeltua espanjaa, ruotsia ja englantia. Unkarikin sattuu luonnistumaan, kun isäni sattuu sieltä kotoisin olemaan. Mutta on kyl upeeta, miten hyvin oot oppinut niin monia kieliä!

[@linguaEpassione]

Voi kiitos, Léda! Tosi mukava kommentti, ja tosi hienoa, että sait motivaatiota videoltani! Vau, sinäkin olet opiskellut monia kieliä, hyvä me ;-) Oletko muuten huomannut että kanavastani löytyy myös sellainen video, joka on kokonaan suomeksi? Laitan sulle linkin, ku ehkä sua voisi kiinnostaa katsoa: kzbin.info/www/bejne/in2WfaaOi7CVjbc

[@bernardobila4336]

O teu português é simplismente espetacular 🤝 é muito raro ouvir estrangeiros a falar com tanta fluência. Abraços desde Moçambique. 🇲🇿

[@lucybaar4400]

Your Finnish is amazing, it's difficult to get the correct rhythm to the language especially as it is very different to most. Wonderfully spoken and also your English is brilliant!:)

[@Gabiche]

Very nice! Some of those languages I speak as well, and I hear that you did a very good job!

[@linguaEpassione]

Merci, et félicitations à toi aussi pour tes études!
