Introducing myself in 11 languages

In this video I very briefly introduce myself and my passion for languages in all languages I speak:

Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Esperanto, Russian*, Mandarin Chinese*, Arabic*, English, Dutch.

This includes the three languages I speak only poorly (marked *).

This video is a successor of my video from May 2007: "proycon greets UniLang in multiple languages", which was a multilingual greeting to everyone in the UniLang Language Community (http://www.unilang.org). In this video however, I tried to be more spontaneous and no longer read from screen ;) I recorded this video also to be put in the "languages" section of my renewed homepage at http://proycon.anaproy.nl .

Note that I am not a native nor fluent speaker of all but two of these languages, so there will undoubtedly be mistakes. In fact, I already spotted some but it's to much work to re-record :) As I mentioned, especially my Russian, Chinese and Arabic are quite basic. So especially the pronunciation (especially chinese tones!) might be awkward here.

If you want to be amongst people who are as crazy about languages as I am, please visit the UniLang Language Community at http://www.unilang.org !!

Congrats for your French and the other languages (German's good but I cannot really judge, I'm French) ! Russian's fine, try to sound "harsher" (especially "O" syllables). Arabic's fine, try to focus on consonants, not vowels (Semitic languages are consonant-based). Feels very realistic anyway, you got a good linguistic mimetics! You speak a few languages, likes B5 and are gay. Funny, all gay people I know, incl. myself, are language and B5 fans... Is that a trend :) or do we like good things ?

hablas español con acento de maricon, portugués también como uma bicha loca

[Evildela]

Saluton amiko, via Esperanto estas tre klara kaj lauxdinda mi esperas ke foje ni povus interparoli. Kial vi ne plu estas sekvanta de la ideologio de nia lingvo?
