amazing language skills..i got the english and french only though:(. I dont know any spanish but you sound very fluent in it. I have a question though. I can tell your first language is english but your accent seems to have changed a bit from the standard american accent. Do you think your accent has changed as a result of speaking so many other languages? Please dont take offence. I just find it fascinating. Why do you think that is??

Well, you're the first person to tell me that, but if my accent has indeed changed over the years I don't think it's so much related to learning other languages as it is to having lived outside of the US for the better part of the past 22 years. Even when I do speak English here, it's usually with non-natives, or with anglophones from countries other than the US, so over time it may have had some influence.

Good. Are you of Arab origin? Because your username seems like an Arab name: Abu Jad.

Anyway, the Fusha (Modern Standard Arabic) is useful, and if you learn it very well you can understand most of the local dialects.

I'm an Arab who speaks a strange a dialect, but because I know Standard Arabic I can understand Lebanese, Egyptian, Gulf dialects and others.

Marhaba ya ahibba. La, anna ma @ndi @asil @arabiye, ana amerikaan mil bi miye, bas ibni ismou Jad, lakin ana "Aboujad". @al awal ana jarabt 'at@lam al fus-ha, bas kan gharib ila al @el marti ehki al fus-ha bil hayet al yamiyé, lakin ana fakart al ahsan shi 't@lam al lehjé. Ma@salémé !

"lama wasalt ici.. uh.. houn!" XD

You'll always pay for being a polyglot. BTW, your Arabic has a little feminine feel. You need to talk to male Arabic speakers more.

Sounds great! Good job! I'm sure you have checked out Stuart Jay Raj...? I'm learning French, Japanese, Spanish, German and now Farsi. I'm not fluent in anything but English though since I don't practice enough. Anyway, cool, thanks for the video. ;)
