Here is a Rennaisance Lady...Boundaries of continents, distances or Language cannot hold you any longer from tasting our small planet. Time to open your wings like your mind and fly around our World...Fly Jennifer...Fly !

[TheRavenOfPoe]

@SirAbraxas Thank you! ^^

[harleynanda]

Hello, dear lady. I just couldn't help but satisfy my curiosity by taking a peek into your past. For those with many a post, watching their first video can often be quite interesting and even revealing. The comments often reflect what would seem in even so short a time, a bygone era...at least for YT. So, three years after the fact, thank you for sharing this with me.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

oh my, it is funny returning here and watching myself from so long ago. It really is a little glance into recent history :) I can only imagine what it will be like seeing this in another few years ;)

[ripley4O77]

I see we share a fascination with foreign languages :)

[LoveMattersMost]

Hi Jen! :) I found it. Thanks for helping me not be lazy. Of course, I searched to see if I had commented. I had. And you left a very nice response in return. I was kind of touched by the realization that we have become friends so long. Watching this video and reading the comments after all this time, struck a sentimental note in me. :o) It was like pulling out my old school Yearbook and seeing what an old friend wrote way back when.

[sprichbeeke]

Das war also die Flasche die du in den YouTube Ozean geworfen hast...Nun erinnere ich mich auch das du mal auf einen meiner Zungenzerbrecher geantwortet hattest.

I totally agree with your statement that with each new language you also learn a new way of thinking.

Happy new year...and have fun studying:-)

[ASAngelo]

Had to see this again... Your thought-life has changed very little. Your dreams and aspirations are simply further in the journey which dreams have the potential to take.

[Redfrettchen]

Yay for Finnish! ^^

[AericWinter]

I can't believe I don't see a comment of me on this video, which clearly impressed me so much back then that it won first prize in the AWAITS competition.

If indeed, you did invest your prize money in a camera, I feel the world has profited from it.

And look at you now at over 1000 subscribers. People all over the world watch your videos. Oh, how far you've come.

[zebidee55]

Very cute! Hey, I didn't know there was a cash prize for this! Congratulations (OK, so belatedly) for winning!

[LimblePwns]

How ironic, I had my t.v on when I was watching your video... I drifted off and started to think about what you were saying then I heard Ocean in the background until I finally noticed JBT were playing on my t.v. lol well I thought it was funny..

Cool video. I like the way it was directed. Have you seen Almost Famous? It reminded me of that, the way you shot yourself writing. Cheers :)

[LoveMattersMost]

Dear RavenOfPoe. True enough, you are both interested and talented in language studies. But please don't overlook the much greater interest and talent of yours: Your ability to reach out and connect with people through a variety of interesting, entertaining, touching, and educational Videos! You have an amazing ability to choose unusual subjects, and make a Video about them that immediately engages the interest and curiosity of others! I see that as by far, your greatest talent-no, genius!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you so much Brian! It can be hard for one to see themselves from an outside perspective enough to notice one's own talents, often we need them pointed out by others =) Thank you again!

[ZachrielCL]

You are so right about words that exist in some languages, but don't exist in your "native" one. That was a really good thought!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Yes, it is one of the things I find most exciting about learning a new language. Discovering those new words, and entirely new concepts and ways of looking at things =)

[kuhlbreeze]

I know this may sound cheesy... But I think you are wonderful.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

You made me smile ;) Thank you Nate!

[millancad]

Id write you something in Latin (I took it for three years), but Im too tired to form sentence correctly! Good luck on all of your languages, it sounds fun.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you millancad! =)

[CleverDjembe]

Hauska tavata sinutkin! Why on earth have you decided to study Finnish?

[TheRavenOfPoe]

The answer to that will hopefully be a video in itself one day in the future, hehe ;)

[jonwedd]

this was great. You are amazingly talented!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Jon! And also thank you so much for sponsoring the competition. Competitions like these really bring life to YouTube =)

[jonwedd]

You're welcome! Also, I should warn you... once you are a big star on YouTube, I will take credit for inspriring you to make videos ;)

[seattle0sound]

that was really good, people should learn more languages but not just that, learn cultures too, the world is an amazing place for that! great work =)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

I agree seattle0sound! And YouTube is a wonderful place to be able to do just that =)

[seattle0sound]

that it is, good luck on your languages, youre an inspiration to us all

[chaguanas]

An interest is not a talent; is it? (If so, I am the most talented person in the world.)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

It is true that it is not always recognised as a talent, so I tried my best to explain why it is in my video ;)

[MKT2]

As a native, i would say: "Ich will Deutsch lernen" and "ich brauche noch viel Erfahrung" - but still, good job!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you for the correction MKT2! All feedback on the language aspects is greatly appreciated ;)

[ilvsockmonkeys]

I am in awe. I have studied languages only well enough to manuver in countries. Even then, I can read more than I could ever speak. Good luck to you and your studies! :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thanks ilvsockmonkeys! I find reading foreign languages comes easier than speaking them too. I hope when I make a few videos in foreign languages it might help me to improve my speaking ;)

[euphonies]

Welcome on bord to this new world! Dein Video gefällt mir echt gut und du hast auch ziemlich viel Kreativität reingesteckt - gratuliere. J'espère que tu auras quand même un moyen d'utiliser ces langues - même au fin fond de l'Australie!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Danke schön, euphonies! =)

[TiggerWelle]

Lovely Video. Agree with the other comments.

As a fellow native English speaker who is also learning German (and can also speak une peut d'Francais) je pense que tu est un veritable genie!.

Encore...Weiter so!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Tigger! And I've really enjoyed watching your videos ;)

[Annaconda1984]

Viel glueck (-: ich bin mir sicher du schaffst es!!!

[Annaconda1984]

this is probably the best or one of the best first videos i've seen so far (overall i've seen around 6000 i think). As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door lol.Your video is very creative et tres original parce que je pense que il n'y a pas Leute die sowas nehmen wuerden und die eher durch musik, kunst oder akrobatischen sachen versuchen werden ..u ueber..eugen.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Vielen Dank, Annaconda! =) Ah and you have reminded me, I shall have to make an Edgar Allan Poe video sometime, lol

[PatronusMortus]

Hey, I really liked your video btw you are crazy trying to learn so many languages I've got enough problems with my motherlanguage so I'm not trying to lean another one =)

Okay I know a bit english because I had to take english class at school but that's all ;-)

So I really admire you and all your languages^^

[TheRavenOfPoe]

A bit of English? You're English is excellent! ^^

Thank you very much for the comments ;)

[KrisShred]

I liked this video :) It has a very interesting and (for me) important content. And finally you have a really nice voice I have to admit :D Sounds very friendly.

I myself speak fluently german (of course haha) and always trying to improve my english (for example talking with some YouTubers I got to know). Second foreign language I know is french, but unfortunatelly I have no practise (also because most communication in real life is in english - like my addiction: YouTube ;)

Keep it up!

Kris :)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thanks for the feedback, Kris! ;)

And I'm relieved my voice still sounded ok despite having a flu/cold at the time of recording it, hehe...
