Multilingual chat: Alex Rawlings talks to Russian-Israeli friend

[@allmertalex]

I speak all 3 languages, I like finally seeing a multilingual video where I understand everything without having to look at the subtitles.

[@HasufelyArod]

This is just such a joy to watch, even after 10 long years. I love you and I appreciate you, Alex. 10 years ago you were my idol. 10 years later, you kind of continue to be. Greetings from Mexico.

[@edgoulart8]

Happy to have discovered you decided to start a channel here in youtube. Your blog is great. :)

[@elefantevoador365]

Nice to see your first video, Alex! It's very nice to finally have a KZbin channel of yours to follow. Keep up the good work ;)

[@ElizabethxPete]

Russian and hebrew are such beautiful langauges!

[@LisaLischka]

Thanks for your video. Now I am learning German at home. Though your video let me know, normal learning one new language need to take the time about one year, then we can understand and speak this new language. Before, I was worried and give me heavy pressure by myself. Relax to learning is good! Thank you and Julia!

[@nicholashethersay70]

Also this video is brilliant and very encouraging!:) thankyou!

[@Maffoo]

You're a real inspiration, Alex :) Can I suggest that you maybe put both the subtitles for the English translation as well as the original Russian Cyrillic/Hebrew though, please? Sometimes there are points where I'm wondering what's actually being said in the native language too!

[@rounin2013]

Thanks for the video!

[@bowlofgreen2586]

that was amazing! thank you

[@AntonAdelson]

Please explain how you learned Hebrew yourself, Alex. The BBC video didn't explain it :) Also why did you learn it?

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

He's just super intelligent.

[@celestegranillo7239]

I enjoyed how she became so animated when she would speak Hebrew. I can tell she really loves the language. This video was really encouraging.

[@klevan100]

Hi Alex, thanks a lot for the video as well as you inspiring comments and your blog. Could you or Julia possibly put in a transcript of the Hebrew text (in latin letters).

[@rsloma71]

Very interesting video and your friend Julia is very talented. All the best from Poland. Rysiek

[@alyonapermyakova]

Wow, Alex, your Russian is excellent! Your speak more proper and correct than most young people in Russia nowadays.

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

He is super. Intelligent, a pleasure to be called British

[@HasufelyArod]

I am sure many second-language or foreign-language speakers speak much better and much more properly than so many natives.

[@terrybaker8156]

Julia seems like a really fun girl. Interesting too, obviously very bright.

[@soitsme_johan]

wow Alex, te felicito por tu nivel en Hebreo y Ruso, achshav ani lomed ivrit, vene'eneti meod et hasicha shelachem beivirit vegam verusit, ani mekave sheta'ase video besfaradit bekarov, ki zot hasfat haem sheli, bravo!!

[@TheLanguageWanderer]

[@TheRuskur]

I see great potential in this channel! Will follow zealously

[@nicholashethersay70]

I think russian is so beautiful!:) i wish to travel there one day!:) (as im learning) lol ;)

[@learningczech]

Very inspiring, thanks for sharing

[@TheTopOfTheWorld]

Матерь Божья, Алекс. Твой русский - прекрасен. Немногие иностранцы могут похвастаться таким владением языком.

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

Brilliant Alex 👌

[@gobbledygookie]

(( Извини заранее за мой хромающий русский ;) )) Хороший клип. Я сама из Израиля, говорю английский и иврит свободна, изучаю русский почти два года, Но, вообщем, для вашего сведения, есть относительно много русскоязычных в Израиле которые также знают Иврит и английский язык и могут говорить свободна. Не "такое" редкое явление. Признаюсь, я немного разочарованная потому, что думала что разговор будет о структурах языков, но не важно, вы молодцы! Так держать.

[@TheVSTOM777]

Вы знаете ,он просто безукоризненно говорит на греческом языке.А Иврит, кажется, сложнее русского...

[@isaacbootbull5542]

that would be interesting, maybe we can meet up, if u'd like. I live in Israel in a city called Bat Yam. I can speak three languages at the moment: Hebrew, english, spanish. I've been studying for almost a month now Italian and dutch.

[@HasufelyArod]

I remember watching this ahen it was first uploaded

[@yaron1197]

מקסים. עברית מעולה כול הכבוד (:

[@Cateriinne]

Молодец, Алекс! Продолжай в том же духе!

[@gadaniya_ot_Natalia]

Прекрасно владеете русским языком. Это действительно сложный язык для изучения. Произношение и грамматика на высоком уровне. Отличная работа.

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

?

[@guywhousesapseudonymonyout4272]

His Hebrew is quite good, but he sounds like a German when he speaks it

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

ALEX, WE WANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU HERE IN THE UK, NOT ABROAD, I KNOW YOU HAVE BIG DIFFERENCES, BUT COME BACK TO THE UK, YOU ARE AMAZING MY BROTHER

[@danceillusions13]

When she talks about a small theatre in Russia, she didn't say 'with a colonade' as the subtitles suggest; she said :театр клоунады. like a humourous/comedy theatre.

[@multimediahelp1]

Hi Alex, I'm really impressed by your Russian. I'm studying it as well, self study. I know Dutch, English and a little bit German, and Russian. Русский это большой язык. En je Nederlands was ook goed in andere videos. Alleen soms combineerde je woorden met het Engels, petje af.

[@HasufelyArod]

Me ofrezco con muchísimo gusto. :) Vengo de México, estudiante de lenguas, lector viciosamente apasionado y nazi de la ortografía.

[@christiancarrigan3464]

wow ze spreekt ze al PERFECT

[@walterpira]

Impresionante!

[@HasufelyArod]

Si gustas puedes hablar conmigo, aunque sea virtualmente y presencialmente. Mi lengua nativa es el español y soy un hispanohablante latino así que con gusto colaboraría contigo en un vídeo. :D Ya khoxhu govorit na russkom no eto ... very difficult.

[@andrewmoorehead347]

How did you manage to find her? Were you looking for someone to interview or was it by "accident"?

[@АндрейНогин-в3п]

просто обалдеть

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

Alex, what's your easiest to learn

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

I speak perfect Russian, French , spanish and Arabic.

[@cloeye32]

Мне нравится это и плыла очень интересное видео

[@ivylamejor]

como deberia empezar ?? leyendo? buscando videos o conociendo a alguien de diferente nacionalidades para hacer video chats o skype?

[@novikmish]

come to Israel Alex! totally agree with her about the russian, eta harosho znat ivu s na4ala :) אחלה וידאו, אתה אחד הכישרוניים, ללמוד עברית זה בטח ממש קשה

[@HasufelyArod]

Monólogos y entrevistas tienen lo suyo cada uno. Prueba combinarlos. ;) Sollst du vielleicht mit jemandem auf Deutsch sprachen. Die ist die zweite Sprache, die ich am meisten liebe. Genauso ist Deutsch die dritte Sprache, die ich am besten spreche.

[@dunkeneman]

For all the people that likes russian, I wanna put on in my pc the russian keyboard, anybody has been aware of that? help if you can.

[@isaacbootbull5542]

Have you been to Israel Alex?

[@terrybaker8156]

Does Julia have three passports?

[@jccorman5848]

can I just have a mind meld? :-)

[@МарияТод-т1у]

У вас потрясающий русский! :)

[@aaronboxerman]

שלום. למה החלטת ללמד עברית? מה אתה חושב על הספה?

[@valerialyamina3872]

Хорошо говоришь по русски!

[@svtfibi]

I know 3 language Russian English and Uzbek

[@HasufelyArod]

Kannst du Deutsch?

[@HasufelyArod]

Nuevamente, yo me ofrezco en todo momento. En mi canal escribiré mi dirección de Skype. ^___^ No sé si aprender ruso o polaco pero ambos me fascinan.

[@rushocxskb8478]

Alex ахуенно! Юлия Вадику привет ;)))

[@TheVSTOM777]

На греческом он говорит безукоризненно!

[@maxim9280]

красава кароч.норм.могешь.

[@Wolfssch4nze]

Indrukwekkend, Alex.

[@DarenaVsevolodova]

Да что ты прибедняешься, никакой он у тебя не хромающий х)) Поработать, конечно, есть надо чем, но и сейчас очень хорошо умеешь выражать свои мысли на русском! )) Удачи!

[@renedupont1953]

Spouting a few banal sentences in a variety of languages does not mean that you have near-native fluency in these languages. Mastery of a language entails decades of intensive study. Speaking a foreign language without an accent is a feat. As far as Yiddish is concerned, you haven't even scratched the surface. I doubt whether you know what Yiddish really is and what it sounds like. The few sentences that you try to say here are not completely correct, and your phonology and intonation are those of a foreigner. You're young and idealistic, but in future years you'll realize that an in-depth knowledge of a language (even of one's mother tongue) cannot be acquired in a few months or years. [I am a Yiddish, French and Slavic linguist with decades of professional experience (teaching Yiddish and other languages on the university level, Yiddish journalism with articles published in France, America and Israel, research in Yiddish linguistics, concerts of Yiddish songs)]. ITLEKHER ONHEYB IZ SHVER. A ID A LAMDN GIT ZEKH AN EYTSE. IDESH-LOSHN IZ A YAM NIT OISTSUSHEPN, OBER DI TIRKHE IZ ON SHUM SOFEK KEDAI.

[@JohnSmith-tj6vz]

So, what exactly are you saying? 🤔

Visit Gaza while you're there.
