  • This is a rare jewl nowdays. I've been living in the US for almost 8 years and I know I will never reach this leve of perfection as you did. Very impressive!

  • Wow that was really good! You sound like a native

  • Cazzarola che bravura D: quanto ci hai impiegato a impararlo??

  • Your English is excellent. No accent at all, which is amazing. I am trying to learn Spanish myself, but it is harder than I thought it would be. Es muy difficil, pero lo hare. Eres una verdadera inspiracion!! Gracias Luca.

  • Your accent is quite good in American English. There is a slight accent, but you are amazing!

  • You sound great speaking English with the American accent! :D

  • pretty good. i am a native english speaker from california, and you do have a slight accent, but its not very noticable. when you said video i could hear your accent, but over all well done.

  • you're so cute.. are you straight?

  • I'm American and you sound more American than I do. ;) My goal is to be a polyglot also. I speak English and Spanish but, I have been told that I sound Hispanic when I speak Spanish so, I guess I'm on my way.

  • @coilytop36 if you speak spanish and sound hispanic, italian will come easy.

  • CAZZO..! Ma è vero che un italiano riesce a parlare così bene l'inglese americano??? COMPLIMENTI.

  • Wow!! As well as sounding amazing, he is so handsome!

  • ...oh my god fantastic!

  • Dude, your russian was bloody perfect! I'm honestly shocked how someone can speak some many languages! You have no accent in english, dein deutsch ist verdammt gut und по-русски ты говорил намного лучше чем многие русские.

    I'm freaking jealous :D

  • You could easily pass as a native English speaker. :)

  • oh my god, he barely has an accent! .___. how is this even possible?!

  • u r a really nice guy man so i hope speak seme to you but e veramente dificile per me adeeso avito a stati unito ma non'e facile trovare gente italiana qua a california solamente hay muchisoma gente que habla español y pss claro yo que es mi lengua natal

  • i´m learning english right now i f you want show my channel.....

  • English spelling is so annoying >.< i suck at it and im native

    and words in things that i dont know i cant ask someone what it meens wen i cant pronounce it.

  • Comment removed

  • @watcherofzideozeszz i'm gonna sound really nerdy when i say this but this is why english NEEDS to be phonetic

    (words being spelled the way they sound)

    the only people that can spell english are spelling bee champions and english majors

  • @AJ1004AJ omg i no! you cant even look at a word and pornounce it all the time they should teach phonetics in school so atleast in dictionaries you can look up word and be able to read the phonetic pronounciation.

    I was looking at phonetics couple weeks ago and even tho theres more letter and stuff it looks like it would be easier if english was like that

  • @watcherofzideozeszz just to emphasize my point it's "omg, i know" and not "i no" no= turkish=yok or hiyar know=turkish bilmek no know spanish no saber french;pas/savent German;nicht/wissen (sorry if it seems a little racist but i'm just guessing one of those is a language you know) ps thank you google translate! pps i know turkish and german so i didn't use g' translate
  • @AJ1004AJ me again

    there are tons of different idea on how to fix this. my fav' is quickscript,

    it is the child on the shavian alphabet which was made for a competition to see who could make the best alphabet to be phonetic, quick to write, and save ink and paper.

    AJ

  • @AJ1004AJ  my native is english spelling wrong is just faster xD im learning spanish tho

  • @watcherofzideozeszz i'm thinking of starting a ESL class in youtube but i'm kinda hesitant because people might not take me seriously because of my age

  • @AJ1004AJ also you spelled though (tho)

    ps did you google quickscript

  • Eh la peppa, io sono Inglese e ti faccio i miei complimenti. Sei proprio bravo e pure bono.

  • m'hai fatto venire la voglia di studiare le lingue o.o per ora me la cavo bene in inglese e dopo quello farò spagnolo che mi piace u.u

  • This is perfect, just perfect! There are just a few words that sound non-native, but overall it's perfect. I wouldn't have known that you are Italian if you hadn't said it. :">

  • OMG!!! I can`t believe you are Italian. Your pronunciation is really good. 

  • Good job, but it's a bit nasally. Just relax your voice. Other than that, good!

  • complimenti!!! Anche io parlo inglese ma mi piacerebbe imparare l'accento british. quando ci provo alla fine ripiego sempre sull'Americano...XD

    ho notato una cosa strana ascoltando sia me stessa che i tuoi video...la voce cambia tonalità cambiando lingua. ci hai mai fatto caso???

  • ti manca solo l'arabo :)

  • I am black and I speak Ghetto English..Luca you doin good man, keep it up

  • DAAAM , WHY DO U HAVE TO BE SO CUTE..

  • you sound like you ARE from chicago! impressive!

  • Comment removed

  • haha your accent is great!

  • faccio una domanda magari idiota: è "utile" imparare una lingua "da analfabeta"? cioè sentirla,ripeterla, imitarla ecc, ma non saperla scrivere e leggere?

    a parte il fatto che ovviamente imparlarla a tutto tondo ci vuole di più (o no?...), per me, a livello base, pare più importante saperla parlare.

    infondo è l'approccio di tutti, quando nasciamo, dato che siamo analfabeti per un po' di anni. Ma intanto impariamo a parlare. Quindi perché con una seconda lingua ecc dobbiamo fare diversamente?

  • @newFranzFerencLiszt una volta acquisita a livello orale, non è più facile imparare a scrivere?

    prendiamo l'esempio dell'arabo, del cinese, e di tutte le lingue che non usano caratteri latini: dovremmo imparare ex novo un sistema di scrittura. E quindi come si fa? si impara tutto simultaneamente?

    boh secondo me è meglio come penso io... anche perchè, ripeto, è stato il nostro approccio con l'italiano, e di tutti nella loro madrelingua

  • dev'essere bello non avere una cippa da fare dalla mattina alla sera....

    tra una grattata di palle e un fascicolo de agostini mi cercherei un lavoro....mammà non vive in eterno ragazzo...

  • @MaremmaSheepdog Commento partorito dalla noia estiva? Eheeh ,) Dai buone vacanze! L

  • @MaremmaSheepdog - Brutta l'invidia , eh ? Grande Luca, complimenti.

  • @kontiki1973 hai ragione, sono invidioso di chi non fa un beneamato tutto il giorno, magari facendosi mantenere da me..null'altro, anche perchè alla sua età mi laureavo in economia per diventare commercialista, per questo non ho mai avuto tempo di imparare 8 lingue...

  • @MaremmaSheepdog Forse è quella cosa chiamata Invidia? Piacerebbe a moltissimi italiani parlare benissimo altre lingue come fa lui...

  • @MaremmaSheepdog l'invidia è una brutta bestia XD

  • The word you're looking for is phonetic, English is not phonetic, also I think it's very impressive that you sound american or from Stockholm when you speak Dutch; it shows a true grasp of pronunciation.

  • You sound american.

  • @BaggedGnome he is, he lives there

    not that i care being from the uk

  • and this is why i love italian guys

  • Can you come t Vietnam to teach me all the languages you can speak?? I admire you Luca. Wonder if there is a chance to talk with you sometime?? :-) Wish you all the best.

  • italians are hot!

  • @crescin I AGREE

  • greetings from NY, your a NATURAL

  • i can tell english is not your first language but still pretty impressing

  • BEAutiful

  • Wow you speak very well...but it's kind of funny because it almost seems like you have an American Southern accent...that's very interesting lol but great job!!

  • you say uhh and um a lot its kinda annoying! haha

  • Your American English is admirable! I would simply bring to your attention that in English, the noun is "proNUNciation". Many Americans mistakenly pronounce it as "proNOUNciation".

  • Haha, this is so impressive. Just curious, what language do you dream in?

  • @sidondon2 lol

  • I'm american. I think you have a good accent :)

  • you sound slang American english... I sound Italian, French, SpaNISH AND GERMAN AND did what you have done in German... I can make comments but it is similar to learn different languages in North American... it an be hard but it is harder among Vermonters...

  • Hablas en ingles muy bueno

  • Can someone offer an answer to this: over 70% of the ppl studying foreign languages at 16+ (in the UK) are girls yet super-linguists are nearly always men

  • @dimgwalltameiben So? Most women on this planet are much better cooks than most men, yet the best of the world's chefs are men. It's (unfortunately) a "man's world", especially when it comes to success and professional recognition.

  • Une question : toutes ces vidéos de toi parlant dans des langues étrangères, ça sert à quoi ? A montrer que tu es brillant ?

  • @romanozinzin

    Ou à donner de l'espoir aux gens par rapport aux efforts qu'ils mettent dans l'apprentissage des langues ?

  • You almost had it...We don't use our hands while we talk. try talking with a can of beer in one hand and a doubble cheeseburger in the other and you should nail it.

  • Holy shit, English isn't your first language? (Rhetorical question)

  • Hi, Bro... you are really my inspiration of learning foreign languages ^^

    btw, have you tried Indonesian?

  • very good man your english is perfect,you also said that you want to learn romanian,succes si sper sa o inveti repede desi e o limba cam grea dar cred ca o sa te descuri bine:D

  • Luca!!! you're so cute! I can speak 4 languages (English, Spanish, French, & Portuguese) and i started learning German last year.... but i'm not as fluent as you seem to be in all your videos. You should help me out!!! =) Teach me Italian!

  • i don't sound like that at all. but your english is amazing. you have a southern accent in this video, but it's simply amazing how well you picked up.

  • You sound almost perfectly fluent. Except for a few seconds around the 1:10 mark, I could not detect any Italian accent. You must inhale languages.

  • Hey there! I have a challenge for you:

    I'd like to see you trying to speak english in

    a standard british accent. Could you? I'd love

    to listen to it, I'm sure you'll be great at it! Think about it. :)

  • You make me want to improve my english!

  • hey mate you are quite amazing!wish i had your skills!!!!

  • hey mate you are quite amazing!

  • GENIOOO!!!! Sos mi ídolo!! Ojalá llegue a hablar como vos algún día! ;) Complimenti!! Saluti dall'Argentina!!:D

  • Ciao Luca, innanzitutto ti faccio i miei complimenti per la tua padronanza linguistica, davvero stupefacente. Ho notato che in molti consigliate il metodo Assimil ed ho deciso di utilizzarlo anch'io. Una volta sul sito ho scoperto che vi è l'inglese e l'inglese americano, per cui, considerando che consigliate di ascoltare molto, ho pensato che sarebbe molto più semplice avere a disposizione dei film americani piuttosto che inglesi. Cosa mi consigli ? Inglese o Americano ?

  • Luca, what course did you study in university? thanks, I liked so much your videos!

  • @thales2008 I got a degree in Electronic engineering. L

  • @poliglotta80 the same course I've chosen. cool! :D continue making videos, you give me hope to try learn another language in the future!

  • @poliglotta80 hey good work. Could you please go to my channel. I uploaded a video of myself trying the american english accent. Thanks

  • Dang man. You're English is really good. I wouldn't doubt you were American if you told me so. A bit ironic though that you mispronounced pronunciation :P Anyways, great job! Wish I could speak as many languages as you can.

  • do you write as good as good you speak in 8 language

    أنت واعر

    you are really amazing

  • Luca sei proprio un mito !! in tuttle le lingue che parli di cui ho qualche conoscenza riesci a fare un accento davvero bravo, sono stupefatto! allora son sicuro che tutti qua ti dicono che sei bravo...et alors c'est vrai mais je voudrais savoir qu'est-ce que tu as fait pour parler talement bien dans tutes les langues que tu parles!! you don't look old man ,do you just listen to stuff and study by yourself or have you been and done courses abroad?cmq da un inglese ormai un po' milanese Bravo!

  • Luca sei proprio un mito !! in tuttle le lingue che parli di cui ho qualche conoscenza riesci a fare un accento davvero bravo, sono stupefatto! allora son sicuro che tutti qua ti dicono che sei bravo...et alors c'est vrai mais je voudrais savoir qu'est-ce que tu as fait pour parler talement bien dans tutes les langues que tu parles!! you don't look old man ,do you just listen to stuff and study by yourself or have you been and done courses abroad?cmq da un inglese ormai un po' milanese Bravo!

  • some of the "R's" are still there, but eh, america's a melting pot. no matter what you sound like you'll blend. :P Go to NYC and Philly soon! :D

  • wow great accent

  • I like itlaian language better.

  • im thrilled...whats ur natural language?? porque hablas ingles supero bien pareces estadounidense, y si entendiera todos los demas lenguajes que hablas te diria como suenas perooo....de donde eress?? jeje

  • haha. ur english accent is good. but u speak very nasally. Relax ur voice. And your nose. You'll deff get it right. I mean your great now. So there's not much to improve.

  • I was surprised to find out that english isn't your native tongue and that you are italian. Your american accent rules! There is a hint of something else in it, but unless you told someone where you are from, no one would know.

  • Your english is really good. I'm impressed. You even have an american style of speaking.

  • i speak with better accent native of america and im italian,in this vid u aint good as in other languages u spoke before,improve

  • Ciao Luca, sono russaamericana che sta imparando italiano, volevo farti i miei complimenti per il tuo ottimo inglese e il tuo russo. parli l'inglese meglio di qualche americano che io conosco. Sei anche molto buono e a di una simpatia infintia da quello che vedo dalle tue video. Se hai qualche domanda su la lingua russa chiedemi pure ti mando un abbracio dagli stati e un Ciaoooo

  • Teneriffe, Spain.

    Dude, your English is spot-on!

    Even your unusual pronunciation of 'pronunciation' doesn't make you sound non-native, as it is sometimes said like that.

    The only way you give away the fact that you were not raised as an English-speaker is that you actually spell correctly.

    All our parents and grand-parents always spelled correctly, but now it's like it's too old-fashioned.

    You do; however; make up for it a bit with your bad capitalization.

    Keep up the good work, kid.

    Solstice.

  • I am American and I understand you perfectly. But, it is obvious, that you are not a native speaker of English. Your accent is a little exxagerated, and the grammar is slightly awkward. But, hey you speak 8 languages! That is alot of words! More than most people! Good Job!

  • @MsJanetWood exaggerated*, a lot*. Are you sure that you are a native speaker of English? ;-) Work a bit on your spelling and grammar..and LEARN to be humble from watching people like Luca :-) FP

  • @MsJanetWood buddy, ur fucked in the head.. This guy speaks perfect.. He speaks better english than me and i am native to Toronto

  • ohh myy godd !! very very good.

    this is awesome. i am american & i also speak spanish.

    but i love italian and want to learn very much... but i get mixed up between

    spanish and italian alott when i speak italian. any advice ?

    thank you- katherine michelle

  • Io ho imparato l'inglese LEGGENDO i libri di Sex and the City e guardando la serie televisiva in inglese x 5-6 volte (senza sottotitoli....e ho voluto imparare l'inglese che si parla a NEW YORK...more fashionable)

  • yeah im american man and you def have a complete american accent

  • my god, you're awesome <3 :D

  • Hes gorgeous... (i noticed hand speaking lol)

  • dang you have no hint of an accent at all and it is so crazy! :D Good luck on learning 8 languages bro! PEACE

  • hahaha "French cutie"....

    you inspire me luca. I'm american, and this is very good!

  • I've got to say, this is quite impressive!

    Good for you!

  • Can you speak english with a british accent ?

  • Complimenti veramente!! spagnolo, svedese, francese, inglese, novergese!!! com fai?? io voglio laurearmi in lingue e specializzarmi in russo, per caso potresti fare un video in russo se lo parli?

    Grazie in anticipo e ancora complimenti!!

    P.S w l'Italia!!!!!!! (io lo sono pure!!!)

  • During the day, do you think in more than one language? Do you find any languages still difficult to think in?

  • Perfect accent!

  • Bravooo,io mi sono fermata a tre..in bocca al lupo!

  • You english accent is really good..better than mine :d maybe 'cause I was too shy :) Any way good video!:)

  • I can somewhat tell you're not a native speaker of American English, lol, because I heard em-PHA-sis on the wrong syl-LA-ble on occasion. But you could have easily had me fooled! :D

  • Wow amazing ;) You have barely any accent, very very impressive :D

  • Amazing! I can't get over how well you speak English. You said in a previous post that you learn languages by massive input. Do you use software programs to learn and if so do you have any that you recommend. I'm currently using Rosetta Stone and I like it but sometimes it's difficult because it teaches you completely by immersion and sometimes I'm not sure if I'm grasping the correct meaning so I check it with an online translator. Which learning methods have worked best for you?

  • Your English is great! The only reason I can tell that you are Italian is your constantly-moving hands. Hahah

  • I notice your accent when you say "video".

    I also pick up accents without realizing. I find it hard to consciously teach my self a accent, if I am around it though and hear it often I pick up the accent quite quickly.

    Your accent though is very very good.

    I am trying to work on my German accent, ugh...those German "R"s.

  • You are ridiculously HOT! Italians are so sexy! <3

  • That was great ! I almost dont see no different in your accent

    You should try Polish ;)

  • I'm an American that lives in New Jersey, whos family is from Palermo, Sicily.. I was blown away by your American English.. My family has been here for 40 years and still have accents! Holy shit bro, you're fuckin' awesome! BATTI LU FERRU MENTRI E CAUDU BRO!! I speak italian and sicilian fluently, but my sicilian is so much better!

    ~Lu Sicilianu

  • Hey Luca! How you doing man? just a question... I still haven't seen all of ur videos to know that, but do you understand all those languages that same easy you can speak them ? Vc entende com a mesma facilidade que consegue falá-las ? espero que responda, obrigado!

  • Dear friend, generally yes. My way of learning language generally comes from massive input (which I transform into output through my method). I find listening an essential activity and I generally understand a language well once I've reached a decent level. Obrigado pela pergunta, até a proxima :-) Luca

  • wow, really pretty good accent man.

  • Luca, come to Philly. I want to learn how to speak Italian. I'm Italian-American and really need to know how to speak Italian!!

  • You know what? My american friend is still waiting for me to go to Philly and the moment I land on american ground the first thing that I want to do is visiting both NY and Philadelphia. Man, I really want to see the US :-) Luca

  • You must visit. I want to visit Italy!! New York is an amazing place. Philadelphia is a great city too. You should visit soon!!

  • Screw NY and philly, they suck. Come to San Francisco and teach me italian.

  • ok bro, we suck when all you guys have is blacks and mexicans fighting against each other. Gangs, corruption pretty much for you.

  • This might seem pretentious of me or rude or something, but I noticed you say, "Pronounciation".

    Many people do say this, yes, but it is more correct as "Pronunciation". :D

  • Dear friend, when I made this video I was well aware that the correct word is pronunciation (my american friend had corrected me numerous times in this regard) and yet I say it wrong here. So thanks so much for pointing it out, I find corrections extremely useful. In russian they always say "на ошибках учатся" (you learn through mistakes) and it's so true! :-) Thanks again and take care. Luca

  • and now, u sound american! cant believe it!

  • Oh man, it's so weird to watch your Italian video and then watch this and you're talking with a perfect American accent! I'm taking Italian right now and I couldn't understand much of your Italian video because you were talking so fast (which probably isn't even that fast for you), so it was nice to be able to fully understand you here.

    It's funny because even though your accent is pretty good, I could still pick up differences in how we would phrase sentences.

  • wow sei bravo! io sono italiano, ho 14 anni e ho un inglese che fa cagare ma mi tengo sempre in allenamento. ho imparato a capire un pò l'inglese grazie sopratutto ad internet

  • handsome man :)

  • parla perfetto inglese! so parlare piccolo italiano.

    man without reading your description, i would have never guessed English wasn't your native language.

    have you been to the US? I always wonder if its tought because we speak in so much slang these days, atleast us college students.

    I always wanted to see what a "learning english" book is like. We assume when we learn a language we sound like little kids speaking. I wonder what it sounds like listening to class of foreigners learning English

  • First off, thank you for the nice comment :-) No, I've never been to the US before and my friend from Philly is still waiting for me to come. I'll probably go to NY in 2010, but still don't know exactly when. Take care and thanks again for dropping a line. Luca

  • @roughrider8182 Check out some ESL (English as a second language) websites and you will see how English is taught to foreigners. There are even a few ESL teachers on youtube. I recommended them to my Spanish friend who is learning English. :-)

  • If you ask me it almost sounds like English is you're first language !!!

  • @Loyal801 lol No, it doesn't sound like English is his first language. It's because of the accent. His English isn't bad. It's pretty good. I have to give thumbs up for it.

  • parli molto bene...:)

  • You sound Italian American...

  • Che buffo, hai un accento del sud! Bravo, comunque. BRAVISSIMO! ;)

  • Did he just say he speaks a lot of french because he has a french cutie? lol.

  • you great..........with a good accent............i can only speak english, spanish and french you can speak 8 omg

  • You speak with a very mid-western dialect.

  • Yeah. Italiano with Midwestern accent? LOL. But really, you are very talented with languages. Your portuguese and French is good also (French is kinda funny; that's OK).

    This Americana is impressed. I am however, still laughing at your Midwestern accent. :P

  • ahh cute!! Dutch is very nice on you :)

  • i thought you spoke english as a first language because of the accent,but im wrong, well done wow lol

  • Bro

    Amazing

    you do every language with it's natural accent

    5*

  • men your accent is great very good I speak 4 languages english, spanish , french and Italian but 8 languages ..your are amazing

  • Hey, Luca this is awesome. Ik heb je gezegt dat ik naar je videos zou kijken en je bent geweldig goed in je talen. ik stuur nog een comment op je ned. video

    Prachtig!!! esmiralda

  • Your really good.

  • Hebrew and Arabic have the same problem as English when it comes to reading and pronouncing right.

    And regarding "mastering the language" u r so incredibly right. Only someone who truly learned difficult langauges like Greek and Russian would understand this. It's incredible, but I know people in my University who know a great deal of words in English. But u would never hear them say "let's go out" or "time's up" "let's take off" , they would just say "let's leave" in a heavy Israeli accent:)

  • Luca, sei bravissimo!

  • Aww cute!! Bello bello!! :D

  • You're right about the accent issue, as when you say, "Chicago," you say it with a Chicagoan accent.

    Is it a good thing or a bad thing? I don't know. As somebody that is learning Russian right now, I would love to have a Russian accent. As an American listening to you, I think it would be cool if you had an Italian accent. I think as long as you can communicate, though, that's all that matters.

    Very cool.

  • Very very good! You sound like English was your first language! molto bene =]

  • wow, u have a really good american accent! good job really!

  • Lucas Eres Buenisimo.. YOu sure don't have an accent I been living in the USA my whole life and I speak fluent spanish, but i dont even sound the good.. Bravisimo bebe

  • Ciao sono americana e ho vissuto in Italia per 5 anni. Durante quel tempo ho insegnato Inglese e devo dirti che tu parli benissimo!!

    Your accent is so wonderful, usually Italians can't lose the accent but...it's remarkable. Good luck, in boca al lupo in all your endeavors.

  • Do English/American people like Italians attempting at English/American accent like him?Or would they just prefer him speaking American with an Italian accent?

  • Yes, I think most Americans believe accents are very cool and interesting. An Italian accent would be very fun to listen to.

  • Don't matter. Even though you'll never pay for 1 beer if you come with an accent..

  • did you notice how his gestures change according to which language he is using? When he speaks american, he moves his arms and hands and even his eyes in the typical ways american and british do. When he speaks german he moves the head in the exact same way germans do. The same for french and spanish typical gestures. He is like the living evidence that languages (more than culture) shape your personality and that you can switch personality and you switch from one language to another

  • yo hablo ingles y espanol y la verdad hablas el ingles con muy buen acento americano, yo tengo viente anos viveinedo aqui en los estados unidos y asta este dia puesdo hablar con un acento como el tuyo es dificil cuando la lengue natal es un idioma completamente diferente como el espanol. very good lucas your a master of 8 languages something i will never have under my sleave. saludos jorge de texas!

  • marry me!!! :)
