Great collection! A also have a big language collection and my books inspire me every day.

[@romesdiniz5235]

Hey, Vladimir. I always watch your videos, especially the ones on language learning. Simply put: incredible. Your ability to express yourself in so many languages is inspiring. I know you can speak Portuguese, and since I'm Brazilian, here goes some Portuguese: parabéns pelo teu excelente trabalho. Romes

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Romes Diniz Thank you very much Romes.

[@koshtosektumfamifa]

I LOVE the Godfather too! :D And thank you for inspiration! You're awesome 😊

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Nika Shekhovtsova Thank you:)

[@dazza254]

Omg I've been waiting for this for so long lol

[@scaleofc1966]

What did the librarian say to the student? Read more

[@kahoku451]

this is genius 😂

[@Ybantyarik]

Türkçe bildigini bilmiyordum :O Harikasın!

[@zipporahthecushite7729]

Moses McCormick has an amazing foreign language book collection. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4nHdKCLZpWGaqM

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Zipporah Thecushite Wow. That is impressive. As I said in the video, I don't have but a few textbooks, I don't think I ever used a textbook to learn a language actually.

[@philipphortnagl2486]

Now I am excited reading The Godfather, and I agree that only the first part of the film is good. Pretty funny when you said 'I spend quite a long period of time with my books' I assumed something totally different then 3 weeks :D

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Philipp Hörtnagl :)) Depends on the book. Hope you like reading the Godfather, but you have to completely forget the movie, especially the voice and appearance of Marlon Brando and all the gangster stuff going on.

[@bekzodbobojonov7937]

Ты просто супер

[@lucasgdrezes]

I thought you were to show the books' covers. )-: At least we've read the same book, The Solitude of Prime Numbers. I read it in Portuguese, though. It's one of my favorite novels, even though it's too sad for me. Great video!

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Lucas Diniz Thank you.

[@FeliciaFollum]

I just found you in the Polyglots group on Facebook...This video appealed because books are reading are the thing that I love about languages...I have bought books before I even knew an alphabet lol but I bought Portuguese poetry books in Brazil and I couldn't speak it at the time so the store owner was really confused ...but I wanted to say thanks for this video and I'm excited to explore your other videos...

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Felicia Follum I also wanted to buy a book in Japanese in a Japanese bookstore in the US and I didn't speak a word in Japanese and the owner also looked very confused:)

[@FeliciaFollum]

Vladimir Skultety​ awww finally, someone who understands! Lol I'm excited for your channel. I need to ge back to studying more :p I think I've kinda plateaued and beginning to go downhill...thanks for the inspiration.

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

Felicia Follum Good luck with your studies:)

[@FeliciaFollum]

Vladimir Skultety thanks! You too!

[@temirlantuganov7616]

I suggest you read some books by Jules Verne in French. He's one of my favorite novelists.

[@kon6768]

As you read do you need to translate every unfamiliar word or you try to guess the meaning or just skip a part of them?

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Kon It depends. At the beginning, I translate every word to get the feel for the language and know which words don't need to be translated. Like some adjectives or nouns. Later I only translate words that I can't move on without. And then when I can move on with no problems, I go back to translating almost every word and the cycle repeats itself.

[@kon6768]

+Vladimir Skultety Does it mean that you read one (the same) part of the text twice (or more), first time without translating every word and then you go back and translate all of the words (I'm faraid I can get you wrong).

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

Kon No, I just change my approach as I proceed through the book. Sometimes I read the same book twice, as it already has all the words I need translated.

[@kon6768]

+Vladimir Skultety Now I got it, thanks.

[@Moonleader6]

It would be amazing if you added a list of these books in the description. =)

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Stanislav Potapov Ok, I can try:)

[@Moonleader6]

Thank you!

[@nochaaa980]

can you give me your advice on learning French? thank you

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

What is your native language?

[@nochaaa980]

+Vladimir Skultety my native language is Arabic but I speak English fluently

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

Maybe you can read this article: www.foreverastudent.com/2011/09/hello-all-on-my-blog-i-have-written.html It was about how I learned Italian, but it should be the same as for you to learn French. Good luck.

[@Lucas-sg6ct]

The book (The Godfather) is really good, but the movie is a masterpiece. Give it another chance =)

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Lucas Wagner Lourenco I've seen it twice:) Maybe acting and directing is a masterpiece, but it completely lost the intelligence of the book. The movie is about gangsters, the book is about life.

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

Frederik Rasmussen Thank you:) I've seen number three too. Even Mario Puzo himself said in an interview that he was against the killing of Fredo for instance, because that along other things was not in line with what he intended the book to be.

[@nevermind1338]

how can I have those books link pls ?!?!?!

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

I bought them while I was living abroad.

[@jejko2925]

Kde Bývaš? Mesto?

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+jejko 29 Kosice.

[@erturtemirbaev5207]

сколько языков знаете?

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

Здравствуйте. Сложно сказать, но есть видео где говорю на 19-ти языках. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6OngZ19faaooZI

[@thiagofraga3578]

1 Sugestão! Os Lusiadas de Luis de Camões; PT! Boa leitura!

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

:) Obrigado

[@guilhermefigueiredo766]

Kkk dificilmente ele vai conseguir ler Camões sem antes ter lido Homero e Virgílio.

[@loot6]

Seeing your book with all the marks in it, looking up everything in the dictionary makes me wonder why you didn't embrace modern technology to speed up this process somewhat? Especially for Chinese there are really great popup dictionaries in browsers. Or you could load a book into Pleco on an iPad with a single touch to look up a word and also hear it spoken. Would speed up your method somewhat although I get the impression speed in learning a language is never your goal. I watched your polyglot conference video and see that you really spent several years mastering each language and are a perfectionist.

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+loot6 Hello. The main reason why I make notes and make marks like this is so that I can review everything every 5-10 pages. I also like to learn from my own writing, because it is messy and not uniform, making the information much easier to remember, then if it was written in 'sterile' Times New Roman or whatever computer font. I try to learn as fast as possible actually. The language which took me years to learn was Chinese and the reason is, because it really is very difficult. Russian, French, Italian, German etc. really seem like dialects of each other compared to it.

[@loot6]

+Vladimir Skultety Yes I know exactly what you mean since I speak Chinese at an advanced level. I've lived in China for about four years now. Strangely its the only language I know besides English! But right now I'm learning French which does seem amazingly easy in comparison with all the similar words. Even Japanese has so many similar words to English since strangely almost all objects use English words... Good point about the fonts which is why is also an advantage with computers. Although most people wouldn't think to keep switching fonts so would still be stuck seeing the same font over and over again. I'm actually developing an iPhone app for learning Chinese right now it randomly switches fonts. Its amazing how difficult to recognise even the most simple characters can be in a different font!

[@thecurtains]

3 hét soknak számít? Wow, nagyon lassú vagyok mostanság...

[@VladimirSkultetyOfficial]

+Hedgehog Fan14 Ugy gondoltam, hogy 3 het soknak szamit egy ember eleteben :)
