I was asked to do a video in 10 languages. Here it is. I realize now that I forgot Italian. Maybe next time.

  • Btw. You've mentioned complexity of the German grammar. I am curious to know if you find it more difficult than Russian.

    What particular parts did you find complex in the grammars of these two? Declension was mentioned for German and I believe that it is also the main problem in learning Russian... or isn't it?

  • @eugrus Russian is more complex. The cases, the verb aspects, verbs of motion and much more. But it is best to ignore the complexity. In time it all settles in.

  • What would you say about the difficulty of learning to read fluently with a new alphabet? I currently try to deal with reading in Yiddish. It took just about four hours to learn the Hebrew alphabet and get enough skills to read Yiddish texts syllable by syllable, but two weeks after that I feel no progress in rapidity of reading. (I understand the language itself while it's not that far from German that I've learned for about a year)

    How long did it take you to become fluent in reading Cyrillic?

  • @eugrus A new alphabet is not a big deal. You just have to learn it and get used to it.

  • Korean part you spoke - Understood everything. Granted, it was two senetences, but oh man, made me feel smarter. On another note im using Korean on lingq and i really like it. Im going through the beginners course just because i want to relearn everything i already know, and im starting to notice things. I thank you so much for making a free, and easy way to learn. Keep up the awesome work!

  • What's the order ?

  • Asombroso video señor Steve. Este tipo de vídeos son una inspiración para mi y una motivación para seguir aprendiendo idiomas.

    I never get tired of watching this kind of videos of all you polyglots. I truly admire you.

    È anche il mio sogno di parlare molte lingue, è un grande piacere quando tu parli con gente di altre nazionalità in il loro lingue.

  • I have so much respect for people who speak multiple languages!

  • and this video was a while back but I'm sure this Mr. Sanchez guy is still eating his words. XD
