This Man Speaks More than 30 Languages Fluently!

[@StuartJayRaj]

was a blast doing that tour paddy.... shame we can't put the unedited version out! 😂😂😂😂

[@thanaang1455]

Amazing how do you learn all languages and do not forget them.

[@DermDrTeekz]

The legend!!

[@itsafunnyoldworld]

Plot twist: undeited version had you guys going down Soi Cowboy speaking lots of "body language" 😜😂

[@StuartJayRaj]

I originally wanted to show paddy around taking him on a tour of lower Sukhumvit I did for my kids several years ago 'A tour of organised crime in the big city'. Bangkok is ground zero for a lot of things and to understand Bangkok, you actually get a lot of good local and geopolitical lessons. After recording, we realised that putting that stuff on a KZbin clip wouldn't be wise on many...many levels, so luckily with Paddy's genius you have what you see here 😀

[@assawinwindofglorry995]

สุดยอด พูดไทยนี่โคตรชัดเลยครับ Super awesome!

[@jackhusbands8462]

He's such a character!!!

[@asiandetective4998]

I highly recommend Stuart’s book ‘Cracking Thai Fundamentals’ it is unique in its approach and a great resource. Really enjoyed this one Paddy!

[@AsiaStreet365]

Great book and as you said, in his style. Lots to take away from Stuart’s book if a learner of Thai, which I am.

[@StuartJayRaj]

Thank you...in hindsight, it was a bit of a pent up brain dump after 18 years of running my CTF programme, but in it I tried to demistify Thai - and debunk many of the truisms that can lean to turning off people from learning.

[@AsiaStreet365]

@@StuartJayRaj Great book and I revisit this many times as my Thai language learning increases, I always find something new to think about.

[@otrof6203]

does this book exist online, im in a rush to get it (meaning to buy online and read it on the phone)

[@sokaiya1]

Terrible resource he overcomplicates concepts. I purchased the book as well, and it was a waste of money for me personally.

[@thumbifyme9611]

Can’t believe he speaks this many languages ! Go Stu you are the 🐐

[@Pad_See_Ew]

Really amazing. His Thai tones really clear and distinct.

[@byronwilliams7977]

Stuart or the host ?

[@Pad_See_Ew]

Referring to Stuart. Also kudos to Paddy, damn good also. Personally, can't always hear clear distinction in tones esp Thai spoken @ normal speed.

[@rolfkarneman6564]

Stu is AWESOME in so many ways, he earnes my deepest respect.

[@disciplinefreedom3083]

More with Stuart please let's hear what languages he speaks and learn about his methods. Thanks Paddy.

[@jackh1749]

Though Stuart is a genius polyglot and I am not a genius anything, he still gives me confidence that if he can speak 30 languages fluently I can put my nose to the grind stone and learn to speak Thai at the least at a more comfortable strong intermediate level.. which is my goal. Thanks guys.. very interesting and inspiring!!

[@Baleur]

It's such a change to see someone actually being able to have a conversation in the languages they claim to speak, compared to the new fad which is to say "I can speak 20 languages", but in reality all they can do is say "Hello" and "How are you" in 18 of those 20 languages, lol

[@Kwippy]

One of the things I love most about my hometown is that there are so many foreigners here and we all mostly get along very well. Bangkok life is all the richer for the diversity

[@paulseoighemcgee5772]

Thanks Paddy for this enlightening content - the Burmese vendor was so humble , god bless him .

[@jeromestavrosyeo]

Yes, unlike SJR and Paddy himself....🥱

[@Ulbre]

That was brilliant. Loved how he used Thai slang so naturally.

[@ScoobyDoozy]

I’d be fascinated to see Jay learning some new language in an FMRI machine, and compare that with both an everyday person learning, along with a ‘regular’ polyglot. Such a cool guy who is clearly not only an ultra-polyglot, but a real conversationalist. Great watch.

[@yangtzeling7468]

Being able to speak 30 languages is a SUPER POWER 💥

[@jeromestavrosyeo]

No, he can't speak 30 languages fluently . That is simply impossible. He can speak a smattering of all those, enough for it to sound legit. Can he understand a high level conservation talking about nuclear physics in Hebrew you think, or whatever language he claims to be fluent in. Bullshit artist extraordinaire

[@yangtzeling7468]

@@jeromestavrosyeo Do you know him personally or are you being presumptuous ?

[@yangtzeling7468]

@@jeromestavrosyeo Just because to you it’s simply impossible, you assume it’s impossible for others ? Have you seen a child prodigy on KZbin ? A math whiz ? A child musician ? Clearly , not only are you ignorant , but you are also very rude to label him “ BS artist extraordinaire. “ He never claimed to be fluent in Hebrew, so your example of this ancient language is irrelevant. Being fluent is subjective. And in my opinion, as long as you are able to converse coherently with the public, that’s fluent. Nuclear physics, medical science, rocket science, quantum physics….. has nothing to do with fluency !

[@chatmongkhonpakthongchai9734]

He speaks fluently 4 languages and have some knowledge in others. It is more appropriate to say that. He is not fluent in all of them , which is normal.

[@JackConners123]

@@chatmongkhonpakthongchai9734 He speaks fluently much more than just four languages, he is fluent in at least 15 languages. Just take a look at his channel.

[@theauroralightyr]

Very inspiring, his Thai is like a native. He should be a coach/trainer for anyone who want to be a polygrot.

[@thaifob1]

Very eye opening! I am a native Thai myself and those Sukhumvit areas are places in Bangkok I never thought I would have any business in and had no idea whats going down over there! This vdo could have been 3 times longer!

0:26 or so - there is a typo in the Thai subtitle not หนัก but นัก in the word นักท่องเที่ยว (tourist). At least that's what my dictionary says. Just started watching this video, but am going through the subtitles to help me learn Thai.

That was awesome. Necessity drives language acquisition. The Burmese and anothers don't have any choice.

They can get by in Glasgow without English, but not in Greece without Greek.
