  • What a fake.....the Russian question was the easiest question there is!!!!!

    Lesson: Learn languages, but don't learn them to show off, cause one day, you'll get your ass busted.

  • He knows many languages... But he doesn't speak or understand them spoken or read, which autoamatically keeps him from being oficially called a polyglot.

  • @niverent I believe he didn't know that he'd be tested by people from around the world.

  • @m3tro *speak

  • @jgelbart you got the greek wrong, she asked: how many days are you going to stay in chile?

    i understood that and i barely speek greek, this Ziad Fazah is such a fake!

  • Well, he obviously thought he could do it right? Otherwise why'd he go on this show?

  • English subs PLEASE!!!

  • What did he say in Spanish in response to the Chinese question?

  • @alpuretim yes but among the lebanese they are the norm rather than the exception. They do this with every field. People cant decide race but they sure can decide if they are going to be liars or not. I dont care what you hate and what you love. For me, christianitty is a backward religion. So what? We dont have to agree, just dont come tell me what i can and can not write.

  • @cek128 excuse me, not "Fluency" -that's more of a debatable term. more like "Native Level Proficiency". It's not possible to do that, obviously.

  • @cek128 define "properly". Im not talking FLUENCY here. Not in an exact sense, at least. Im saying just to speak the language. Sure, Ziad Fazah claimed he could speak 58 perfectly. That is impossible, I agree. But many people learn languages within 2 to 3 months. some in under 2 weeks (up to 26 languages/year) They dont speak with the best speed/fluidity or vocabulary -theyd never match a native speaker that quick, especially learning multiple languages- but they can still communicate very well

  • @ThisIsNoise17 yes human beings can't learn that much not because they don't have enough brains....is because they don't have enough time....it takes 2 years give or take to learn a language properly.....then communicate a at regular level without mumbling.....if he knows 58 then he should be dead.....he has to work,he has to eat...go out and do something besides learning language all of his life...therefore it is impossible.
