She made a mistake while speaking Spanish. 2:10 She said: ..."que no obedece a mi"; when the correct form is: "que no me obedece". But then again, she's only 8... maybe I'm being too harsh.
Her Japanese is speaking is perfect... She was reading Japanese hiragana writing which she also perfected...Her "Japanese" sequence of reading & turning the page were right on target.... Amazing.
People say she's not that good in this language or that language but duh, she is a child. I saw a bbc program with a bit about her in the other day and they described her as fluent in 3 languages, and with a speaking ability beyond the average student of a 2nd language at her age for 5 others and as being a competent student of a further 3.
A fantastic video reminding us what language learning should be about: having fun and communicating with people. This little girl is a real gem and she obviously is incredibly bright. I hope she won't let anybody take away that wonderful spirit from her. What a nice, cute and bright girl! Hats off!
wait. you mentioned chinese mandarin and cantonese? technically chinese is distinguished officially as mandarin, but also include cantonese, hakka, xiang, taiwanese and gan as subsets. you have to either take chinese out which would reduce it to 10 languages or keep chinese and take out cantonese and mandarin out which will reduce it to 9 languages.
I think it would be more impressive if they treated tha girl for her constant cough :-/ She doesnt stop. If she´s so important, sort that out like any child should be treated for! Sorry to blab. Just a side comment. Very bright and cute young girl though :-) I´m also very jealous.
wow she speaks like a hispanic kid in spanish. Just like her age, sooo cute!@!@ I only know english, spanish and semi fluent korean i can understand some portuguese and some japanese but spoken. Holy crap I wish I could have learned earlier!
I love her when she said that her favorite language is vietnamese because it's her parent's language. Good for her...Never forget our roots whenever we are .
Man.... when I was 16 I decided to know 10 languages by the time I was 30. I'm 23 now and know 6... this girl is really smart! She is my Hero event though I am about 15 years older XD
And I thought speaking French, English and a little bit of Spanish was a lot... But that's true that kids learn much faster than older people. I learned English in three years, from 10 to 13 years old !!
I don't know what I said, but whatever it was, it was probably awesome and I'll take whatever bet it is you're making because you look and sound like an idiot. I'd put money on the fact that you didn't finish 3rd grade.
You're making it worse for yourself please stop lol. If you're going to try and make some smart ass reply, at least make the effort to look at your previous post so you know what the fuck you're talking about lol.
@koukides666 People are just hating on you.. It's true though.. They ask her the same questions in different languages. I mean, she's damn smart.. but they make it sound like she can go to any of these countries and get by.. natives don't speak clearly, and use slang..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no i'm just saying she's a bit unhealthy. i mean come on she couldn't even make it through the whole video without having to chow on a bag of chips for pete's sake!
I think that she might actually see the world as having one language, she is learning them all slowly, in her mind it is like one language... actually she is learning them at light speed compared to any human!
she speaks arabic with an egyptian accent.. it's pretty good.. but i think she needs a better arabic teacher because she is picking her mistakes.. it is a bit obvious that she is a quick learner.. Careful mama.. god bless you ^^
On my list of languages I'm trying to learn from most important to least I have Japanese, Welsh, German, Italian and I might learn some other Asian languages at some point. I need Chinese characters for Japanese anyway.
@tokuanimecitvguy You have Welsh as one of your "most important" languages? lol.. I mean, by all means.. I think it's a cool language.. but not too many people speak it.
11 languages. Wow, kids really have a capacity for language, and she's brilliant. I only know english, but I really want to learn spanish and german... D: there are so many cool languages out there I will never know.
It's impressive how she speaks fluent Japanese and english. The woman interviews her in Egyptian slang, which a little bit different than classic arbaic, anyway Wendy replies in prefect Egyptian!!! She is a treasure of our species!!!
Impressive, but she's obviously being made to study with language tutors all these languages. If she really enjoys it and isn't pressured into this it's cool. Her Japanese is pretty good (it took me several years to get to her level and that's the only language I speak aside from English)!
@virileboy Yeah, her daddy obviously has money to afford tutors for 11 languages.. There are a lot of kids who could do the same, but don't have the means to do so..
English countries won language war. It was destiny. Now, rest of countries must learning English.
But England and U.S.A. people must to learn Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanise, etc. Please, choose your favorite language and learn by yourself. Goberments don´t care about it. They all wants sheeps.
habla un español LATINO muy bueno, incluso mejor que su profesora, que dice (mal expresado en España y creo que en español latino también): "hablas mayor de tu edad". Saying this In english, it is correct, I think: "you speak older your age".
Dice Wendy Vo "tengo un hermano que no obedece a mí".
La corrección es "tengo un hermano que no me obecece".
Of course it's easier to learn at that age.. Especially when you have parents who encourage you and help you. Sorry, but here in America, our parents don't really give a shit about teaching us other languages.. They would rather have us play football and baseball, which are worthless, unless you are good enough to get a scholarship or go pro. And not every little kid can learn another language.. Some kids are meant to work at McDonald's.. while other's are smart, like this one. She is lucky.
its embarrassing goig to another country, or having exchange students, because they speak fluently in at least 2 language, and we Americans dont care about even knowing correct grammar in English.
You are right.. Exchange students laugh at us because we are so stupid and ignorant.. Our school work is so easy for them, that it is serious like repeating the 6th grade for them, even though they are in high school.. it's crazy.. Americans are seriously fucking retarded, hands down.. And can't even locate countries on a map.. I had the top grade in my college Spanish class with a 98%, and half the class was Mexican.. and spoke Spanish at home.. some didn't even speak English for Christ's sake.
When you say "we Americans don't care about even knowing correct grammar in English", though, you need to remember that that is the case in many, many languages.
You're right - once you know a language well, you can understand it whether the grammar is correct or not, so no one really bothers to know what's right and what's wrong. =)

Don't get me wrong she's really talented and it's great that she retain all that linguistic knowledge, but she needs to sit still! No more sugar until AFTER you make the video haha.
To the people mulling over the fact that she's learnt eleven languages; during a childs age of 2-10, it is /much/ easier to pick up a language than it would be for say, a 18-year old. It's due to how the childs brain is developing at that stage: 2-10 is known as the 'sampling' years, whereby children are very easily able to pick up motor patterns.
tgunnn- true- It would be so much better if public schools starting teaching a 2nd language in elementary school-even if for only 1 hour a week- instead of starting it in middle or even high school. Children would pick up the language so much faster and easier. I took 4 years of French, 7th grade through 10th. I can not speak a full sentence of French (I am 57). I really didn't learn the language in those 4years. I am sure the way language is taught now IS different.
It would be much easier, but with the school system as is, kids are already being overloaded with information. However, your idea isn't far from what would work; one or two hours a week, or thirty minutes a day (just have them do a worksheet each day, or have thirty minutes where they're only allowed to speak in a certain language) and they would all end up fluent in said language. I know how you feel; I attempted to learn Japanese and French in my years of high school. Wouldn't work very well.
I don't know about the other languages, but she might need to practice her japanese a bit more to get the intonation correct. She didn't say much, and she kept on yelling 'WHAT?' It amazes me how she fits all these languages in her head.
Some accent there, but she will probably speak it fluently later, she speaks 11 languages and composes music nice, I can only speak 4 languages and I got no talent for composing music XD
It's a lot easier for a child to learn multiple languages when they are young. Their minds are developing and they retain information a lot better than a fully developed brain.
I picked up Viet from my mom and Canto from my dad, and English from school and my brothers. I'm taking a Korean class, and I wish I was introduced to Korean when I was a kid.
But damn! This girl knows 11 languages and is a music prodigy?!? She's certainly special...
o my gosh are you serious?!?!?!?!??! she can read and speak 11 languages?!?!?!?!?! dang she is so gifted. i only know one language and i still have trouble with it...haha! and she knows music? dang im jealous!!!

We'll make sure everyone speaks English slowly but surely by nuking their shithole countries and liverating them from their moonspeak. I love my country. <3
she's pretty good in spanish too, she doesnt have an specific accent like most non-native speakers do (of course sha has an accent, but I cannot tell what kind)
i gess most the time, the accents you heard were because of the child 's accent, especially she is only 8 yrs old. i suppose she is influent in every languages she speaks. for i can see she speaks her own language, vietnamese very fluently and still has some accent. and that's very normal. she is a great talented girl. good job Wendy!

I know how you feel; I attempted to learn Japanese and French in my years of high school. Wouldn't work very well.

I don't know about the other languages, but she might need to practice her japanese a bit more to get the intonation correct. She didn't say much, and she kept on yelling 'WHAT?' It amazes me how she fits all these languages in her head.

Wendy, don't you think you'd better spend more time composing music. Don't waste that talent. Looking forward to hearing your new song.

To Wendy's parents, how did you do it.....We speak 7 languages in our home. That's because everyone speaks it. But how did you folks do this.
What I loved best about Wendy is that, she is not only a genius...she is a HAPPY, LIVELY child, obviously enjoying herself to the hilt!
God bless

Some accent there, but she will probably speak it fluently later, she speaks 11 languages and composes music nice, I can only speak 4 languages and I got no talent for composing music XD

It's a lot easier for a child to learn multiple languages when they are young. Their minds are developing and they retain information a lot better than a fully developed brain.
I picked up Viet from my mom and Canto from my dad, and English from school and my brothers. I'm taking a Korean class, and I wish I was introduced to Korean when I was a kid.
But damn! This girl knows 11 languages and is a music prodigy?!? She's certainly special...

All you need is English. The whole world speaks it anyway. And if they don't, they ought to! ;-)

We'll make sure everyone speaks English slowly but surely by nuking their shithole countries and liverating them from their moonspeak. I love my country. <3

i gess most the time, the accents you heard were because of the child 's accent, especially she is only 8 yrs old. i suppose she is influent in every languages she speaks. for i can see she speaks her own language, vietnamese very fluently and still has some accent. and that's very normal. she is a great talented girl. good job Wendy!
