Can I say that you're just awesome ? So cool to know how to speak all those languages. I think it's a great way to open yourself to other cultures around you. I mean I'm french and your accent is very good :) I would like to be able to speak as many languages as you. I speak English and Spanish. I'm currently learning portuguese and I love it !
I'm from India and can currently speak 3 languages fluently-English,Marathi and Hindi.I also know some Italian and Spanish. Right now, I'm trying to learn Italian by reading text-books, learning new words daily and watching interviews and reading Italian e-papers. For Spanish, I'm using Pimsleur Spanish.For French, I learn from my grandfather (whenever I go home) and I have lots of e-books and audio lessons. Could you suggest some methods to improve my learning speed?
Are there any languages you just would not care to learn? I think Arabic is horrible and Dutch. Not sexy at all. The sexiest languages aside from the Latin ones are probably Hungarian and Greek. You should do them next :P
@Sambucca Have a search on my blog and you'll be surprised what you see! I wrote about Dutch in great detail while I was learning it last year, and wrote an article especially to encourage those learning Hungarian, when I learned it 2 years ago.
Arabic is on my list. I don't find it horrible at all. No language is horrible when you appreciate that it's just people chatting to one another.
Ugh, but it just sounds so aggressive and throaty, like they're fighting with each other. I don't like it. Anyway, I'm teaching myself Japanese at the moment and might try Spanish after I get a bit better at it. Phonetically they are very similar so it should be an easy transition.
Fair play to ye though on launching such a brave venture. がんばってください！
tell me this, what do you use when you go to a country and start learning? do you use software or books or any other resources??? i speak italian but now im learning tagalog. mainly because my girlfriend is Filipino and i really want to go to the country for a while. for learning i use rosetta stone and the pimsleur approach.
@stefomate It seems you have the best resource in the world right under your nose before you got expensive software and audio and you don't realise it...
@irishpolyglot i know but i want to learn on my own without her. and then when i feel comfortable enough i will practice with her. as for the audio and software i torrented it all so no money was involved ;) lol
@iambigga i know. i was just trying to surprise her. she speaks the language every day with her family but in general she is more used to speaking english now. we plan on going to the phillipines in the future for a nice holiday and i want to train with the doce paris so i hope to be a decent speaker by then
Continuation of previous comment which was cut off:
poster also speaks are being hypocritical when they complain that he speaks with an accent or does not speak the language perfectly when they themselves are complaining about it in imperfect English. When someone can post a video of himself or herself speaking eight languages as well as Benny does then maybe the criticism will be better received.
I am surprised by and disappointed with the many negative responses to this video. I am fluent in both German and Spanish and I think that the poster of this video does a fine job of speaking both of those languages here. I am also fluent in Russian, and as a native English speaker who has learned multiple foreign languages I believe that the negative comments posted here are hypercritical and unfounded. I especially think that the native speakers of some of the languages that the video's poste
Wow! You're a pretty inspiring person to someone (such as myself) trying to learn multiple languages. I speak English and Portuguese fluently, am conversational in Spanish and Japanese, and understand light amounts of German Italian and French. I had the blessing of being raised multilingual, so I feel like I'm wired to pick up languages with more ease than others. Hopefully I'll be able to live in Europe by the time in 22. =]
Si uno no aprende una lenguaje desde nacer, claro que se quedará con un acento. Pero no importa. No pongas atención a los críticos aquí. Nomas son envidiosos porque no alcanzan hablar ninguna otra idioma ;-)
I wish you the best. However, I am very skeptical of your claim. You are asking people to hand over a significant amount of money, yet have not been very forthcoming with your abilities. Please post more videos of you actually speaking these 8 languages. Furthermore, I think your pronunciation in French needs much improvement. I am very skeptical of your claim and book, and would love to be proven wrong.
@Nolalinguist I have way over a hundred videos of me speaking these and several other languages on this same Youtube channel. Search for "Quebec" to see me speak spontaneously with a native in French for twenty minutes. Why not look actually at those a while, or on my blog explaining how I learn languages for FREE, before commenting on the first video you see...

@artienp2 ....claim about speaking 8 languages FLUENTLY sounds a little far-fetched.I'd like to emphasize that never did I claim you didn't actually spoke the 8 languages you claim you speak I just pointed out the "fluent" factor. I say that as a native speaker of the Portuguese language. Eu sou do Rio de Janeiro, seu Português é realmente muito bom e eu concordo que é raríssimo ver um "gringo" falando que nem você mas não sei bem se é o que eu chamaria de fluente, para mim parecia um pouco...
@artienp2 ...forçado demais para ser o que eu chamaria de fluente de fato. Não estou falando do seu sotaque em especial, obviamente eu também tenho sotaque quando falo inglês, mas a desenvoltura do discurso não pareceu a esperada para alguem que alega fluência. O sentido que emprego em "fluência" seria não tão somente o de entender e se fazer entendido mas também de produzir um discurso de maneira que o mesmo "flua" com desenvoltura e desembaraço. All that however was just a little remark...
@artienp2 ...and in no way did I intend to be offensive, the porpuse of my repply was just some constructive criticism. All in all, I'm a big fan of your work, keep it up!
Man, I've never heard Irish being spoken before. That was wild! I'm excited to start reading your blog! I just starting taking German ad would love to be fluent at it. Possibly making my classes much, much easier!
@georgianagina Please read the blog. This year I've taken on Tagalog, Turkish, American Sign Language and Quechua and in January I'm onto another non European language that I'll reveal after the new year. I made this video a year and a half ago. A lot has changed since ;)
@irishpolyglot If you're a native English speaker, the non-Latin based languages are the challenge.... Good luck with Tagalog! Ang tatay ko usap siya ng tagalog pero di puede ko magsalita magaling, at saka mag-aaral ko ng wika rin. Paano mag-aaral ka ba ng tagalog?
you have NO idea how much i want to be fluent in at least 5 different languages. considering 50% of my friends are foreign or have foreign parents, they speak more than one language and me being a international culture buff, this drives me insane that i only know English. I've tried to find ways to learn different languages but my methods won't work. *sighs* i'll try harder, and hopefully i'll be as successful as you Benny :)
I'm so glad you learned to speak all those languages so well having started at 21. I'm 16 and I've been learning English since I'm like 5 years old and I can say I'm quite good at it but it did take all of my childhood. And I really want to speak more languages well. I love languages so much. I'm learning Japanese and I also want to learn a language with declensions like German and if I can an agglutinative language, like Finnish or Quechua. But people say it's harder as you get older. Thanks!
He is definitely right. I've been in Germany for 2 months, not completely full immersion but 15 hrs a week of German class/home study and many hours of speaking German with au pair host family. I try to make the absolute best of what I can say with the level of vocabulary and grammar I know. I'm not afraid to make errors and be corrected. I've probably got to the same level in 2 months as I would with 5 years at school.
I was wondering if your Language Hacking Guide is avaliable in stores? Or can I get it only via the internet? Thanks for the answer! And keep up the good work! :)
dude, i admire you. my dream, no, my goal is to be a polyglot. (since it's my first language) i speak fluent spanish, and my english is kinda good. i'm currently in québec learning french. i also speak a little italian and practice everyday with an italian girl from my school. (she said my italian is very good). in addition, i studied japanese grammar and can read and write both hiragana and katakana and a few kanji, plus i can make simple sentences in jap. i also can read greek. - i'm 16 btw :p
@pachonman95 No kidding, i'm almost in the same situation as you! I'm peruvian so my native language is spanish, i'm fluent at english and in process of learning italian. Also, I'm going to Quebec/Ontario during summer (well, winter over there) vacations to learn French and improve my English. I'm even 16, too.

En effet, je ne parle que trois des langues que vous utilisez, (en plus de l’anglais, qui est aussi ma langue maternelle) mais je comprends un peu l’italien et le portugais, et il me semble que vous parlez assez bien. J’étais vraiment étonné par votre accent en français. Vous avez très bien fait.
Esto no tiene sentido (pues, para mí) pero la lengua con que pareces tener menos confianza es el esperanto. Eso me choca un poco, porque todo el mundo dice que es la lengua más fácil del mundo. Resulta igual para mí, sin embargo. Aprendí la gramática en unas cuantas horas porque estaba aburrido, pero es difícil encontrar gente con quién usarlo. (Mi povas legi kaj skribi, sed paroli estas malfacila sen esperantistoj.)
His spanish is from Spain, but still I can understand it (: I speak spanish as first language and his spanish is reaaaaaally good. Congrats for that, I wish I could learn more languages some day till now I just speak Spanish, English and Swedish.. I'm going for the Portuguese and French! You have motivated me man, thanks =)
@sigridenid But I'm told there is a great difference between the Portuguese of Portugal and that of Brazil (much greater than the minor differences we observe in Spanish or English between Europe and the New World countries.) Personally, I don't know, as the only Portuguese I ever hear is from Brazil (and it takes a little getting used to, but after about 10 or 15 minutes, I find that I can understand what they're saying just fine, and they understand me when I reply in Spanish.)
It's good that you've learned all the languages! Good job, although I think after English you speak French the best, you speak the other languages with a funny accent. Keep up the good work!
and now I'm still learning portuguese. at first I did not know why I was interested to learn but I found that I liked the language and I was born to speak in portuguese :)
I was put off of learning a new language for quite some time because of my Spanish class in high school being tricky to focus in, due to being 15 at the time, and also due to the bad structure of the classes.
I'm definitely taking several of your tips to heart for learning Russian. Thanks.
Benny, you are awesome!!! I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I moved to the US when I was 13. It was difficult to learn English for me because of the human aspect you talk about. Americans have a little of a Parisian attitude about their language and I did not feel at ease. I still have an accent, although I learned the language young. I learned Portuguese at age 21, and Brazilians where warm and welcoming, I learned it quick, and my accent and pronunciation is perfect. My next goal is French.
Tu español es excelente. De hecho, tomaste de manera muy buena el acento incluso. Me cuesta aprender otros idiomas por algunos problemas de memoria a corto plazo. Right now my goal is perfecting my english, learning japanese and then esperanto. Your technique has been working quite well for me since i'm able to speak a little japanese in the course of a month.
I salute you, y ojalá que te vaya muy bien en todo.
@technolife1815 I completely agree!! I speak English & Spanish, although I understand some French, I'm not really a French speaker, just "learned" it as a kid in elementary school in Canada.. and the first time I watched the video I thought you were French!
Although I was confused because you said when you went to Paris vs. France... that's when I stumbled on this video and found out you were Irish! haha Awesome!!
I was just waiting for him to start speaking Welsh after he used Irish but I was dissapointed... Although, can't really complain when there were 7 others :P
@kriszkrs I never said he could speak 12 languages... He speaks 8 (or rather, he MAINTAINS 8). Great, 4 languages are enough for you, fine. I find it curious that you are so convinced he is cheating because you've seen him moving his eyes. Your argument is ridiculous because it's based on potentially inaccurate evidence. I also admire Luca (who is amazing especially when it comes to accent, he's like a language chameleon) and Richard very much. I also admire Benny. No fanboying from me at all.
very good!!!! I like so much it, I'm brazilian and I only speak more and less 3 language and I'm studing 4 years....... but I don't speak very well and I study for a long time,,,,,what' the secret????
There really was no mistake, at least no grammar mistake, but it still doesn't sound very good. Benny, you've got the melody wrong. I don't speak a Romance language, but the melody of these sentences reminds me more of Spanish or Italian or even French. Still, I think your very inspiring, thank you for your website :)
@kriszkrs That's not exactly proof... even if he IS looking at something it may just be bullet points, eh? So you speak 4 languages, but don't speak 12? Suffering from an inferiority complex is definitely reason to accuse someone of cheating with absolutely no real proof whatsoever... I see...
@kriszkrs I'm not reading anything - don't be silly! I agree with @EmeraldNK - you've got a weird inferiority complex. The idea of me reading in this video is so ridiculous that I made an April Fool's joke about it! Search my site for "Benny's confession" to read it :)
@irishpolyglot ahahhaa fortunally i'm not one of them :) Hey I'm very interested in reading your guide. I was wondering, is it possible to buy it? Or Do I just have to download it? I admire you so much just becuz you like language, buddy ;)
@irishpolyglot holaaa!! me podrias ayudar esque quiero mejorar mi ingles me pasas tu correo o tu facebook amm soy de mexico el problemas esque no lo puedo hablar o tener un buen acento me gustaria mucho y eres genial porque puedes hablar tantos idiomas y es algo fasinantee o grandioso o divertido byeee
Awesome! I've always dreaming about speaking fluently in other languages (including English). My Native tongue is Tagalog. Fluency in Tagalog makes it very hard for non-native speakers because it is known for having a very much stiff accent. All non-Filipinos are having a hard time in speaking straight Tagalog with diction and tone. I challenge you to speak Tagalog fluently. haha. Nonetheless, you've just fuel up my passion for speaking different languages. Thank you. :)
Man you have to admit you've got talent! Anyways, I'll show this video to every people I know that is currently mastering a second language. I'm a native Spanish speaker, from South America, but I can say you have a really good, traditional Spanish accent. Congrats dude.
I absolutely love your Italian accent :) I have been study French for one year now and I can't speak it yet, that's so frustrating! I will read your tips hoping it may help!
Wow what an amazing job. You speak portuguese really well. I just have a question. So you are from Ireland so you are European. I would like to know why did you learn spanish from Spain, french from France, and then, portuguese from Brazil? Wouldn't be more obvious if it would be from Portugal? Just asking...
This is a really good video and clarified for me what I had been thinking for the last number of years: Language learning is not a measure of INTELLIGENCE. I agree with a lot of what Benny says, I also have more ideas and opinions to add. I am going to attempt to learn Spanish and Italian together within 6 months. If you want to learn more about this then look at my video, fluent6months: 4 language introduction.
@TomSFox No. I added in the text of the subtitles in a set of files for the translator of the Language Hacking Guide for each language. Why? Is there a mistake? Let me know and I'll correct it ;)
@irishpolyglot Well, one thing that bothers me is that they refer to speaking languages "flüssig," when everybody knows that you speak languages "fließend." I've seen this before when somebody who wasn't a very good translator tried to translate "fluently," though this word doesn't seem to appear at the corresponding spot in the English subtitles, so I don't understand how that could have happened. I hope you didn't just pick some volunteers on the Internet to translate your book.
@TomSFox No, it was a long-time reader of my blog ;) He had the book proofread to remove mistakes, but not the subtitles. I can make that correction myself.
@TomSFox People make mistakes, and a proofreader corrects them. I also make spelling or incorrect wording mistakes on my blog in my native language. Your question is quite silly. I only had natives translate. The one thing they all had in common is that they are human. If you don't like one particular word he translated then no need to jump to conclusions about him not being native...
@irishpolyglot As I said, it was ONE of the things that bothered me. And imagine somebody said they spoke a language liquidly. Wouldn't you think this person probably isn't a native speaker? Or at the very least unfit to work as a translator?
Hi!! :D ahaha I'm italian! you're very nice !!! very very very!! :) I think you've got talent ..because it needs talent also to do and to learn it :) I like your soul that you put inside..:) ! ahahaha I liked so much Colosseo and Pasta Barilla ahahah :D do you like it?? byee!
I've been living in Finland for 10 years a hardly speed a word. It's very frustrating for me. I've recently tried to learn Esperanto to 'hack' my brain in to accepting other languages, but I'm not really doing so well in that either (It's only been 2 months though). Speaking of which, it seemed you had a little difficultly with the Esperanto on the video and I was wondering what you thought of it as a language? How do you rate it in comparison with other languages? What do you like dislike etc.?
@r3bol Other people have commented about my Esperanto in the video. I got distracted at that moment; normally I'd speak it with the same fluency as the rest of my languages ;)
If you search my blog (or google "2 weeks of Esperanto") you'll see my thoughts on it! :)
You can definitely have a fresh start on your Finnish! Best of luck!
scrivo in italiano che tanto lo capisci eheh, 'sti gran cazzi complimenti! la padronanaza dell'italiano era ottima, dall'accento un po' si capiva che sei straniero, ma lo parli comunque molto bene. per quel poco di orecchio che m'è rimasto di spagnolo poi, posso dire che sembrava perfetto. complimentoni ancora
Hi Benny, I love your video, you really inspire me because I would love to be able to do what you do! For the past four years I have been studying Spanish on my own and have reached an intermediate level. Earlier this year, I started studying French as well. There is something that always concerns me though, I am kind of old :( I am 29, and if I continue to learn it will have to be through my thirties, what is your feeling about learning languages as you get older?
@mediumrarekrew Spain is famous for its oranges. Many Spaniards have told me they are so glad to see me use that as the representing image rather than a bull of some sort. It really is a good representing image, and is used on the cover of a lot of tourist / language books about Spain.
its true, i know people in spanish 3 Honors who know less spanish than me even though im in spanish 2, pero tengo familia que hablar en espanol y visité mexico. its true the way they teach you in class and the way you speak around others is soo much different
You got the secret in plain view, I believe, that so many teachers forgot to deeply value, because of their excessive attention to empty "forms".
Complimenti, nel tuo italiano si sente che hai dato attenzione alle cose più difficili per gli stranieri di madrelingua inglese, ovvero la giusta sottolineatura delle vocali, specialmente delle finali (ancora un po' di lavoro sulle finali, ma molto meglio della media). Bravo!
Can I say that you're just awesome ? So cool to know how to speak all those languages. I think it's a great way to open yourself to other cultures around you. I mean I'm french and your accent is very good :) I would like to be able to speak as many languages as you. I speak English and Spanish. I'm currently learning portuguese and I love it !

@irishpolyglot If you're a native English speaker, the non-Latin based languages are the challenge.... Good luck with Tagalog! Ang tatay ko usap siya ng tagalog pero di puede ko magsalita magaling, at saka mag-aaral ko ng wika rin. Paano mag-aaral ka ba ng tagalog?

you have NO idea how much i want to be fluent in at least 5 different languages. considering 50% of my friends are foreign or have foreign parents, they speak more than one language and me being a international culture buff, this drives me insane that i only know English. I've tried to find ways to learn different languages but my methods won't work. *sighs* i'll try harder, and hopefully i'll be as successful as you Benny :)

I'm so glad you learned to speak all those languages so well having started at 21. I'm 16 and I've been learning English since I'm like 5 years old and I can say I'm quite good at it but it did take all of my childhood. And I really want to speak more languages well. I love languages so much. I'm learning Japanese and I also want to learn a language with declensions like German and if I can an agglutinative language, like Finnish or Quechua. But people say it's harder as you get older. Thanks!

He is definitely right. I've been in Germany for 2 months, not completely full immersion but 15 hrs a week of German class/home study and many hours of speaking German with au pair host family. I try to make the absolute best of what I can say with the level of vocabulary and grammar I know. I'm not afraid to make errors and be corrected. I've probably got to the same level in 2 months as I would with 5 years at school.

Esto no tiene sentido (pues, para mí) pero la lengua con que pareces tener menos confianza es el esperanto. Eso me choca un poco, porque todo el mundo dice que es la lengua más fácil del mundo. Resulta igual para mí, sin embargo. Aprendí la gramática en unas cuantas horas porque estaba aburrido, pero es difícil encontrar gente con quién usarlo. (Mi povas legi kaj skribi, sed paroli estas malfacila sen esperantistoj.)

@sigridenid But I'm told there is a great difference between the Portuguese of Portugal and that of Brazil (much greater than the minor differences we observe in Spanish or English between Europe and the New World countries.) Personally, I don't know, as the only Portuguese I ever hear is from Brazil (and it takes a little getting used to, but after about 10 or 15 minutes, I find that I can understand what they're saying just fine, and they understand me when I reply in Spanish.)

Benny, you are awesome!!! I'm a native Spanish speaker, and I moved to the US when I was 13. It was difficult to learn English for me because of the human aspect you talk about. Americans have a little of a Parisian attitude about their language and I did not feel at ease. I still have an accent, although I learned the language young. I learned Portuguese at age 21, and Brazilians where warm and welcoming, I learned it quick, and my accent and pronunciation is perfect. My next goal is French.

I also admire Luca (who is amazing especially when it comes to accent, he's like a language chameleon) and Richard very much. I also admire Benny. No fanboying from me at all.

Awesome! I've always dreaming about speaking fluently in other languages (including English). My Native tongue is Tagalog. Fluency in Tagalog makes it very hard for non-native speakers because it is known for having a very much stiff accent. All non-Filipinos are having a hard time in speaking straight Tagalog with diction and tone. I challenge you to speak Tagalog fluently. haha. Nonetheless, you've just fuel up my passion for speaking different languages. Thank you. :)

@TomSFox No. I added in the text of the subtitles in a set of files for the translator of the Language Hacking Guide for each language. Why? Is there a mistake? Let me know and I'll correct it ;)
irishpolyglot 9 months ago
@irishpolyglot Well, one thing that bothers me is that they refer to speaking languages "flüssig," when everybody knows that you speak languages "fließend." I've seen this before when somebody who wasn't a very good translator tried to translate "fluently," though this word doesn't seem to appear at the corresponding spot in the English subtitles, so I don't understand how that could have happened. I hope you didn't just pick some volunteers on the Internet to translate your book.
TomSFox 9 months ago
@TomSFox No, it was a long-time reader of my blog ;) He had the book proofread to remove mistakes, but not the subtitles. I can make that correction myself.
irishpolyglot 9 months ago
@irishpolyglot So he doesn't speak German natively?
TomSFox 9 months ago
@TomSFox People make mistakes, and a proofreader corrects them. I also make spelling or incorrect wording mistakes on my blog in my native language. Your question is quite silly. I only had natives translate. The one thing they all had in common is that they are human. If you don't like one particular word he translated then no need to jump to conclusions about him not being native...
irishpolyglot 9 months ago
@irishpolyglot As I said, it was ONE of the things that bothered me. And imagine somebody said they spoke a language liquidly. Wouldn't you think this person probably isn't a native speaker? Or at the very least unfit to work as a translator?

I've been living in Finland for 10 years a hardly speed a word. It's very frustrating for me. I've recently tried to learn Esperanto to 'hack' my brain in to accepting other languages, but I'm not really doing so well in that either (It's only been 2 months though). Speaking of which, it seemed you had a little difficultly with the Esperanto on the video and I was wondering what you thought of it as a language? How do you rate it in comparison with other languages? What do you like dislike etc.?

@r3bol Other people have commented about my Esperanto in the video. I got distracted at that moment; normally I'd speak it with the same fluency as the rest of my languages ;)

You can definitely have a fresh start on your Finnish! Best of luck!

You got the secret in plain view, I believe, that so many teachers forgot to deeply value, because of their excessive attention to empty "forms".
Complimenti, nel tuo italiano si sente che hai dato attenzione alle cose più difficili per gli stranieri di madrelingua inglese, ovvero la giusta sottolineatura delle vocali, specialmente delle finali (ancora un po' di lavoro sulle finali, ma molto meglio della media). Bravo!
