"Language is the key to people's hearts. Just think of how many people speak Chinese. If I can't speak Chinese than means there is an enormous part of the planet that I am shut away from. But in speaking the language those people can now have an influence on my life" I love it Stu. Thanks for the inspiration.

It's what has always been running in my head since i can remember... and proved itself true. None of the things I would now look back on would have been possible if it wasn't for the language opening me up to those people who facilitated the experiences. Even if they speak English, it's not the same. You function on a different plane when you work freely in other people's native tongues.

Many people think I'm a chinese and they always speak chinese to me. So each day I find that I need to learn chinese at least to tell 'I don't know chinese'. Then, I started to think that, why not going even further...

Every month I would come back to this video just to re-motivate myself to learn languages. Stuart Jay Raj is still my favorite polyglot due to his near native pronunciation, his colloquial speech usage and his philosophy on language learning. The polyglot community is indeed growing everyday due to the gurus of language learning to inspire us all.
when I first moved from Hong Kong to Thailand I used to get mixed up a bit. Before my Thai became stronger and I began to lose my Cantonese a bit.. I left Thailand 12 years ago and, back here in UK, can honestly say that I'm understanding about 95% of what you two are talking about. I use my Thai language pretty much every day (online) - Great the way you are explaining some thngs about the parallels in tone/words between Mandarin and Thai. And their roots in Sanskrit. There's a lot of Hokkien spoken in Singapore. Just learned a new word. ราก - root. Latin = RADIX. Horse is another interesting word ม้า 马 うま MAre in English, 말 ma ma ma ma ma !
Stuart is a real talent... it is shocking to know Thais always come last in Asia learning foreign languages. Can these skills be used to teach English to Thais?

I love to learn language too!! Now I'm learning Japanese as third language and Vietnamese as forth language. For me to learn language well, I have to learn about people culture as well. That was the most enjoyable part!!!

Thanks for the subs. It's the same stuff you've been saying for years, but hopefully by now some people might start to tune into your message, rather than just focus on the "polyglot fluent in X languages" novelty factor.

Thanks Bob. I know. I just wished after all these years that the side-show tricks could be skipped by now and we could start talking about even more really meaty subjects. What we discussed is just a fraction of what we could have. I went to a school in Chaiyaphum the other week which was a charity school set up by Tim Beaumont. It's an International level school - beautiful grounds / building / equipment and uses Harrow's syllabus. The conditions are - no school fees BUT places are only available by lucky draw. No 'connections' or lobbying, and it's open to every level of society. Free speech and questioning teachers is encouraged. It's a place of education - culture and traditions can be reserved for outside of school. Very exciting project and has many implications for learning potential not being hindered by old archaic systems.

Raj, I am really impressed with your approach to learning languages. I can tell that you have a firm grasp on making connections and applying them. I am no longer surprised that you can speak so many different tongues. How you articulate the ways in which one can enhance his or her language learning is on another level!! Looking forward to checking out your other vids👊🏽

So insightful. Good on you Stu. Really interested to hear more about your project in Burma and progress with Burmese. Good luck. Stu, you gave me advice a couple of years ago to continue following my passion with Thai with all my energy and attention, with expectations of what it should bring me out of mind. I want to say thanks so much mate. My passion has helped me secure a job in Bangkok as an international economist which I have been doing for the last 12 months. The most incredible opportunity which I'm thoroughly enjoying. Thanks for the supportive advice all that time ago mate. Dan.

Thats a bit unfair. Laoshu was good but his language goals were clearly different than SJR who goes very deep. Laoshu had a basic proficiency in many languages but SJR is very deep into a slightly smaller pool of languages.
what/how many dialects exactly can you speak? Actually, I always and really appreciate a person like you and all those guys out there who learn and can master many languages but have not really seen you speaking all those sub-languages . You speak Thai no doubt and do you also speak Thai dialects and does that count in your language repertoire?
