Stu Jay Raj - Polyglot Speaks over 15 Languages on Joh Jai

[@StuartJayRaj]

Thank you - they put me on the spot on this Thai TV show - เจาะใจ

[@StuartJayRaj]

I'm in the middle of doing an e-learning series that sets the foundation in Sanskrit so that other languages like Thai etc. can be learnt a lot more easily.

[@ChrisBird1]

Brilliant ,your an inspiration Stuart ..Thanks for all the help.

[@JaijingM]

I've always been amazed by people who speak several languages, but this is a whole different level of amazement. Btw, your latest video about the interpretation of Lisa's "Rockstar" brought me here. นับถือค่ะ!

[@thailind168]

ผมติดตามแล้วครับ 22/3/66

[@StuartJayRaj]

Thanks for your constructive criticism :)

[@StuartJayRaj]

@elvein1 I have a nice stash of learn Sanskrit books - about half of them in English. The other good ones are written in Thai, Indonesian and Hindi. Many students of Sanskrit in other places have passed on different Sanskrit learning materials that they've picked up from Universities around the world.

[@doublehalf]

He wasn't saying that deaf people are stupid. "Dumb" also means unable to speak.

[@graf]

Was this video recently made public again? Most recent comment is 6 years old :o Nevertheless, great recommendation on KZbin's part. Very interesting stuff.

[@darkalligraph]

Woah hello there! I originally found you through Geoguessr Tourist, and then found this channel. Didn't expect to find you here, but it makes sense, seeing this stuff is absolutely fascinating for anyone interested in Geography and Languages!

[@StuartJayRaj]

:) ... it's definitely been a while. I'd love to get back into my scandinavian languages again.

[@StuartJayRaj]

Never been in a situation that I've had to really use it. Lately, I've gone through the first Pimsleur series and a few other books in Portuguese - it's a matter of putting my situation that would make me use it now.

[@pepperrgirl]

Simply brilliant, Makes me want to practice more.

[@StuartJayRaj]

하이루 ! 메시지를 감사합니다 :) I wouldn't say I speak Korean. Actually, Korea is one country that I travel to reasonably regularly and feel like a duck out of water. I can read Hangul and taught myself to type it years ago. I can also recognise where many of the non 'uri mal' words have come from in Middle Chinese - so understand a lot of signs etc. I would definitely like to spend more time learning Korean.

[@StuartJayRaj]

Da jeg var paa skolen vi havde mange udveksling studenter fra skandinavisk lander - Danmark, Norge, Sverige - og nogle venner som har blevet udveksling studenter pa danmark. Vi alle talede paa skandinaviske sproger hindanden :)

[@hellotheregeneralkenobi365]

Need a very good memory to be able to speak so many languages. As soon as I started learning Thai my Japanese went out the window. I can only keep ability with practice otherwise it fades away. 15 language speaking ability... wow!

[@StuartJayRaj]

謝謝！ 很高興認識你可薇 :)

[@AdamCrazyDude2007]

and the legend was born

[@StuartJayRaj]

Oh Yeah!... I forgot to add Strine to the list ;)

[@StuartJayRaj]

I had a couple of very savvy Korean mentors :)

[@StuartJayRaj]

@AnanyaVilas That's brilliant. Burmese shouldn't be too hard for you - the same base sound system as Indian languages and the grammar is amazingly simple and logical. If you go to Chula bookstore, you will find a great book in Thai - about A4 size, yellow / creamy coloured cover with red writing ภาษาพม่า. One of the best books I've found so far to learn Burmese. Would be great to chat when I'm in town.

[@StuartJayRaj]

@davidgararay Speaking fluent shark - now THAT's a talent! :)

[@golfbettingtipster8798]

Amazing I am on page 68 so far just started very interesting

[@tawanium]

brilliant! สุดยอดครับ I learnt Chinese for three years, can only do basic conversation. Very impressive!

[@minhvo1]

Stujaystujay,you are amazing!!!

[@yongjiean9980]

Mr Stuart Jay Raj should also try Bengali a classical Indian language with rich literal tradition and Russian a major language spoken in the world and an UN working language.

[@StuartJayRaj]

@yongloud I would love to add Hungarian to these :)

[@andromeda03]

he talked to me too!!! and i was screaming all day long!!

[@naldchow]

Here is Nald from Hong Kong. I also learnt lot of languages from around the world. Danish and Norweigian and Swedish are almost the same, same for Bahasa Indonesia vs Malay. I think you should take seriously the suggestion from other youtuber and try French.

[@pelizete]

How come they did not bring people from different languages to speka with him???????

[@mrlanguageguy]

@Dream23fb have you ever heard of canada? 1/3 of us speak french. and a LOT of ppl in africa speak french, not to mention a lot of europe.

[@beauvoir1949]

indonesian and malay, should be considered one language with two different accents. urdu and hindi, should also be considered one language except for having different scripts. so he can only speak 13 languages.

[@Jiveness]

So you could learn similar languages very quickly, for example, German, because of similarities in Swedish and Danish language, and because of the techniques you use to memorize meanings?

[@MizzKKLive]

Amazing!

[@theoriginalmcsquare]

french, the third most spoken indo european language after english and spanish in the world??

[@StuartJayRaj]

@aryowailangitoyo97 thanks

[@mrlanguageguy]

@andromeda03 he mirado un video donde Fazah debía hablarles a personas que hablaron unos idiomas que él "habla" y muchas han dicho que no puede verdaderamente hablar el idioma. Por ejemplo, el chino dijo que pareció que Fazah no habló nada de chino... No sé si yo diría que él es mejor que Raj.

[@cezarhted]

Esse é o cara...that´s the man. however .Portuguese would be a bit tough for him to learn , i believe! he really transalate it fine in Spanish, as far as i concerened.

[@StuartJayRaj]

Karen isn't fluent by any stretch yet - but can communicate in it... thanks to our maids / nanny. They speak Pwo. The best book I've found on both Pwo and Sgaw are actually all in Japanese - nevertheless, they're pretty decent.

[@ElizabethxPete]

@Slivarci danish is one of the hardest languages, I speak it .

[@firerook]

French is a official language in 29 countries.

[@onotheo]

How are you sure of that? Do you speak some and/or all of the languages he speaks or asked people who speak them? From his videos I am certain he speaks at least 2 languages fluently, because those are the ones I'm familiar with. Also, how certain are you that he only speaks the very basic of those some languages?

[@dolunaydainsanolan]

Hey what about Turkish? :)

[@kominbunsri2278]

คลิปตั้งนานพึ่งเด้งขึ้นมา

[@utyaiu]

an order LOL yaya, agree go for publishing a book, Stu^_^ surely many people are desperate for it @@

[@FatPizza56]

proud to call myself Aussie, after watching this

[@dowling1981]

abr - why should he?

[@StuartJayRaj]

jeg taler dansk :)

[@ariesram74]

I am amazed he speaks any Karen

[@cyrochan]

he talked to me :) I don't believe :D

[@davidgararay]

@AndMyOpinionCounts im fluent in shark

[@rotx3]

wirta022 just clarifying that u no by dumb he meant unable to speak not stupid or anything

[@braddockrd]

This guy is either a very smart man or a charlatan. I lean towards the latter. He has learned to speak the very basics of some languages and not too well. It is very easy to impress a group of people by blabbering a few words in each language, but fluency is a very different thing. Evidently, he is quite full of himself and quite arrogant, as the self interviews show. He is a business man and I am not impressed. I have seen waiters in southern Europe speak 5 or 6 languages with the customers.

[@Kwaniichan]

waaaah.... :O his thai is so good!! :O:O c

[@Kwaniichan]

hmmm... i can speak, read and write 6 languages... long way to go.... XD

[@Querido17]

Don't you speak Portuguese?

[@ethan199303]

he didn't really demenstrate enough

[@imaimashii1]

The dude speaks 23 languages but doesn't speak french. errrrr

[@andromeda03]

Realmente asombroso pero prefiero a Ziad Fazah, el es mucho mejor que Stuart

[@StuartJayRaj]

:) ... u know what they say about snakes and indians!

[@EuphrasieF]

Morse code is not a 'language'. It's an alphabet at most. And 'sign language' is too vague - there are many forms of sign language, which are often mutually incomprehensible.

[@andromeda03]

Retiro lo dicho, es mejor stuart

[@HamzaDudgeonthelinguist]

deaf and dumb, LOL

[@wirta022]

Did that interviewer seriously just call sign language a language "for the deaf and dumb"???!! ? Not cool. NOT COOL!
