Pobre hombre...sin embargo, fue para él una gran enseñanza de humildad. Debemos reconocer, sin embargo, que aun se trate de una palabra que sepas decir en griego o finés ya es interesante. Es fácil hacer leña del árbol caído. Dijo que hacía 20 años no practicaba ciertos idiomas (lo cual me parece entendible), no pudo preparase. Uno mismo no habla al cien por ciento su propio idioma. Vaya prueba de estoicismo. Saludos.

oMG, This is terrible! The man didn't know a lick of what the others were saying! I admire his courage to be on Tv despite ridicule.

As someone who knows Arabic to a decent degree, I can tell you that reading a script that looks like the one he was tested with is difficult if you haven't had exposure to that style of writing. Normal Arabic/Farsi looks like this: الخط العربي العادي بيطلع هيك .

The stuff he had to read was written much more flowery and more like calligraphy, so that might be why he had trouble with reading it. I can't read handwritten Arabic or calligraphy, but I can read typed text easily.

I know many Koreans who speak both their own language and Russian pristinely, have learned English well, and are studying a Romance/Germanic English. None of them are over 20.

I am sure some people are talented at learning languages, and it usually makes it easier if you are exposed to a situation when you need to know several languages for different reasons. Nowadays, English is a necessity if you want to be part of world community.
Where as with Russian, it can be personal reasons.

I think you might have misunderstood my previous comments. I did not mean to say that you cant learn different languages from different families. What I meant is the guy is impostor.

Oh, I'm sorry, I only saw the latest one, and it seemed as though you were saying, "Awe, cut him some slack, it must be hard for him!" Sorry.))

I think you are Russian, isn't it? When you were talking about Koreans, did you mean Koreans from Korea, or did you mean Koreans who live in Russia? coz I know there are a lot of them in Russia! So, your Korean friends only had to learn English, as part of school program, makes sense now. I was thinking why a Korean person would learn Russian, now it is clear!

yo considero que este hombre tiene un don divino. pero el don divino de ser el vivo ejemplo de que debo prepararme bien antes de decir que hablo un idioma, y evitar hacer un ridículo internacional como este. es obvio que tampoco estaba tan perdido al menos sabia algo. como dijo un invitado. un cinco por ciento. pero entonces debe decir que sabe solo un poco de esos idiomas pero no decir que los habla. es como decir que yo se jugar ajedrez pero solo se los movimientos de la reina y el caballo.
