Part 5 - Stu Jay Raj - Hearing in Colours

[funkiwi44]

Absolutely brilliant, Stu. You are a great man! Thank you so much for sharing. 

[stujaystujay]

@funkiwi44 Thanks.  Glad you enjoyed it.

[drummerdude136]

Stu, you are an absolute inspiration to me. It's a shame you're all the way in Thailand and i'm here in California, i'd love to meet for coffee or lunch and discuss linguistics and languages. I've watched just about all your videos on here, trying to understand the way you think and learn, and it seems like we're on the same page!! Makes sense why i learn languages so easily. Just wanted to say thanks for uploading, and i'm glad i stumbled on your page. Maybe you can teach me Thai one day!!

[cobyau]

Hi Stu! Great videos mate ... I'm learning Thai now and can converse/read/write to an advanced level after a year .. I plan on taking on Chinese Mandarin next (I already know a bit of Japanese (Nihongo))

Just curious ... what is that Mandarin book you recommended in this video? There is a Chinese bookshop here in Melbourne and hopefully I can track it down there!

Thanks mate

[stujaystujay]

@cobyau The book is "Cracking the Chinese Puzzles" by T.K.Ann. Some people have told me that they've hunted copies down, though not without a bit of a search. It comes in 5 volumes, or the one I have there is the Abridged Edition.

[amjan]

This interview was so awesome! I like the hosts and the questions they asked, very thoughtfull and entertaining as well.

[Diabolous3x]

That's a fair criticism about aussies, they get pissed off because they don't speak more than one language... and there is a great sense of 'invasion' of asians into the country, so its more about losing their neo-british culture they've had dominance in for the last 200 years. Its not about the languages, its about fear of loss of identity ;)

[crankdataquaman3055]

this is the most amazing thing i ever seen, and inspired me that i can learn a lot of languages

[dknyism]

You were born pitch-perfect and with synesthesia. You speak 20+ languages. And you are good looking. You also seem like a good man.

What did you do last life?

[duke1duke1]

@dknyism Stu worked for it all, at least the languages and many of his thinking techniques.

[mejen5]

Wow this is so inspiring. I hope that's me in 20 years or so XD

[Zimy0]

I've never seen anyone type in chinese before, I always wondered how they typed 2000+ characters!

[MacOSY]

There are various systems: some works by pronunciation (you type the word pronunciation and you get the character), other by radicals (parts of the character)

[pipi333]

This is not chinese, Thai

[Neutromic]

They use romance alphabet to compare sound. That call Pinyin

[utyaiu]

Cheers Mr. Jay!

Your sharing is really interesting and I hope that my friends who are learning new languages could benefit from you too ^,^

[anne241163]

Interessant program, Jay! Takk skal du ha!

[braddockrd]

Either you don't sleep or you have too much free time!

[stujaystujay]

Sorry 256Peace - in responding to your comment, I inadvertantly deleted it! ... here it is again. Response to follow :)

256peace has made a comment on Part 5 - Stu Jay Raj - Hearing in Colours:

Do you have perfect (absolute) musical pitch Jay. Name or recall any note on a piano, guitar, or instrument, and name the frequency?

If so then I bet you have a gene that many of us don't.

he seems to be not only talented but a very good man as well.

[jrotc1991]

暈倒!妳是我偶像!

[Katrina709]

Amazing. As a Linguistics & Psychology major, I feel that his insights into language learning are inspiring and endlessly helpful!

[Monokster]

lol japanese. stop watching to much anime.

[gondimman]

Just unbelievable man! Thank you so much for inspiring every one of us with such words. I was afraid of learning 2 new languages at the same time, just because I'm learning my 3rd one (spañol). But now I won't give up until I speak 5 languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and French) or even more. Thanks very much! :) =) =D ;)

[jhsjsams719]

Wow~~~

대단하다~

すごい～～～～～

惊人！

[Amaglev]

This is actually inspirational! He's fired me up to accelerate my Japanese learning, polish off my French and perhaps even pick up another one or two languages! Amazing :D

[highflyer]

you know how some multilinguist whose mother tongue is english always use their natural accent when saying an english word? He doesn't do that.. the way he say X-factor, that was really thai-like

[simpsons225]

Some people just do that, it's like the language just becomes a part of you when you use it enough. I don't know how to explain it, but I kind of do the same when I speak English or German.

[Milehighkingpin]

I love this guy. He is every company's dream right-hand man.

[Chempatty]

I have to ask, what are the best books to learn the several languages you do know.

[singlung85]

i think the book he held while talking about learning mandarin was "cracking the chinese puzzles" by t.k. ann.

[douglaspotterpress]

This Person is amazing, he inspired me to learn foriegn languages.

Diese Person ist erstaunlich, er inspiriert mich, Fremdsprachen zu erlernen.

Это лицо имеет удивительное, он вдохновило меня изучать иностранные языки.

هذا الشخص هو مدهشه ، لأنه اوحى لي تعلم اللغات الاجنبية.

この人物は、驚くほど、彼は私にインスピレーションを得た外国語­を学ぶ。

[chirokun07]

すみません.

あなたの日本語は間違っています.　私の母語ではないので直せません.

コメントで気に障ってしまったなら謝ります。

[omezer91]

I've got Perfect Pitch :D:D:D:D It is great, but I was born with it and developed it during guitar playing when I was 10 - 13 years. OMG

[moonliteforest]

why cant sum1 learn 2 leanguage as once?? as a chinese malaysian, we learn a minimum of 3 languages if we go to a chinese school.. chinese, english and bm... so if we speak like other languges like hokkien or cantonese or hainan or teochew or what ever, we learn another languge...! so it's not really a problem for us to be multi-languaged! hah!

[noomai]

amazing, Mr.Jay! Your way of learning language is very interesting. I'm doing 3 now and hopefully I can do more later on. Thanks!

[IBEZ]

Wonderful. I'm learning a couple languages right now and just having trouble doing about 20-30 words a day.. however he does it, this guy is definitely amazing.

[ultimecia102]

People have said that anyone can do what he does but i think that not everyone can pioneer language learning like him. To learn in colour and to play language games all the time!, it takes a really inspirational creative mind to constantly invent these ways of keep a learning environment 24/7.

[steve171274]

He down plays his abilities a bit but wot a guy,i've just bought a khmer book and i'm already learning thai ,i think i need a learning strategy because my memory is not as good as his.

[simpleblob]

if u don't mind....

"What" a guy. :)

[cyrochan]

An amazing man, I think that all men could do like him if they effort for

[steve171274]

if u don't mind i'll correct your sentence ok?

" i think that all men could do the same if they made the effort"

[cho817]

Awesome, this dude is my new hero!
