Speaking a number of different languages

I recorded this as I've seen a number of far better polyglot videos on Youtube, and while I do speak a number of languages, my passive multilingualism trumps my active multilingualism. Anyway - in this video I'll be speaking English, Swedish, German, Scottish Gaelic (my Gaelic is really bad, and I'd prefer people to just not comment on my obvious mistakes ... D-: ) French, Westrobothnian, and a border language known as Svorsk, which is a mix of Swedish and Norwegian.

I was thinking of adding Spanish, Portuguese and Italian to the mix as well, but decided against it, having already ritually slaughtered a' Ghàidhlig in this video.

Jag förstår inte när du pratar västerbottniska XD

@simonstadin inte? Haha, ja bondskan/målet är ju lite annorlunda trots allt :)

Your Svorsk sounds like a mix of Northern Norwegian and Swedish with a funny voice. That voice swedish use to put on when they make fun of us Norwegians :) Impressed, though!

Also, there are quite a few who end up speaking Svorsk (in varying degrees) after having lived in the neighbouring country for a while. Also, the further I (as a Norwegian) go from the border, the harder the Swedes understand me, so after a year in Stockholm I ended up talking somewhat Svorsk.

@ximono lol, I guess the fact that I'm from the north, makes it easier for me to fake Norwegian than it'd otherwise have been, but I do get what you mean though. When I was working as a teacher of German in Gothenburg, I shared an office with a Norwegian who'd been living in Sweden since the seventies - she'd lost all of her Norwegian, due to the languages being so close to each other. I love Norwegian though, and I plan on working as a teacher in the north of Norway in a couple of years.

Speaking A Language Is Too Difficult To Learned & To Understand As Well ?
