I was generally shocked that the host can speak so many languages. Really impressed! Great job👍
Het is een... "serious straight flex." 🔥
Ik bracht een scheldwoord uit toen hij begon met het Azerbeidjaans praten. Wat een wonderkind.
Hmm. His German was not so good.🤔
@@plerpplerp5599 How's your Dutch?
It's more than 1 guy interviewing
the moment I realised that Tim is actually talking to other people in their native languages… that’s quite impressive)
and each language is beautiful in its own way
I think he might be a polyglot.
@@aaaaeeeeffffeeeekkkkssss he is most definitely a polyglot
Indeed. I'm a language geek myself but seriously...who would ever learn Macedonian? This guy is amazing
@@kaladze93 lol thats fair, but macedonian is fairly inteligable with a few of the balkan languages so its not too much of a stretch
@@FrozenMermaid666 you know that beauty is a subjective concept, right?
I feel a full video in Dutch with Tim explaining how he learned his languages coming on… 👏🏻
Exactly!! I’m so curious
Maybe he can reveal his secret
Same here. He's to cute ❤️
However, misusing big terms (in Dutch or any other language) is beyond wrang, so one must also know the facts that respectability / superiority pronouns like U / Uw / Gij etc and other big terms (Mevrouw / Juffrouw / Dame etc) and other big / royalty terms only reflect me and are only meant for me THE respectable / superior being aka the special being aka The Leader / Princess / Queen / Lady / Star etc, and such terms cannot be misused by hum’ns - I also am the only vrouw / meisje / meid etc and the only lief / lieve being and the only lovable / loved being aka the only vriendin etc, and my pure protectors aka the alphas are the only beings reflecting the words man / heer / meneer etc and vriend etc, so such terms and all love related terms etc and all other big terms and other purity terms like flower / plant / nature / gemstone / light / astral terms or names etc and special names etc and compIiments / seasons / colors etc cannot be misused by hum’ns in names or yt names or in comments or in videos etc, and such terms / names (and items that reflect such elements, including flower print cIothes etc) only reflect me and are only meant for me, and should never be misused by hum’ns, and, even words like m’nsen / m’ns and m’nagers or men are unsuitable for hum’ns because they contain words like man or men in them, so one should at least spell them that way (like m’nsen instead of mensen) until a new word that doesn’t contain any unsuitable words / unsuitable letter combinations etc is invented, and, food related terms like lekker cannot be misused by hum’ns when referring to actions that hum’ns do etc, and can only be used when referring to food & weather & other pure elements of nature!
And, the normal pronouns je / jij must always be used when talking to all hum’ns, since all hum’ns are an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as every other hum’n - oude people or employers etc aren’t some sort of ‘special’ / ‘superior’ being that one should address using special pronouns / terms, which is beyond _ and only promotes impztz and dscmnsn! So, this is even more important! So if one is learning Dutch (or any other languages) etc, one must make sure one doesn’t misuses unsuitable terms / unsuitable pronouns that only reflect me THE superior / respectable beings, because sadly most of these people teaching languages and most videos do promote big term misuse / impztz, instead of following logic and using the normal pronouns and not misusing the big terms!
Tim should start a new channel called “Easy Polyglot”
Точно! Как молодец Тим))
Lol 😂
Tim is like google translate.
I agree! 😂
- Mario
i appreciated Tim's Azerbeijani, as a Turkish person;understandable and clear
Knk baya iyi azerbaycanca konuşmuş.
He literally had Google Translate attached to his mic boom.
So many people show off with their languages and then it turns out that humble Tim speaks a whole lot of languages.
Omg the Azeri couple was so adorable. They warmed my heart.
15 years in the Netherlands without learning Dutch ?? Well, this is actually a performance itself..
haha ''so you're not even trying?''
Well yes but no.
You can't even call the Netherlands a country anymore, seeing these situations.
...or the germans that don't even try
@@philipe1502 We're subjugated by their EU "Reich" anyways. Their sentiment towards us has never changed.
@@philipe1502 Being german my main language I can truly say, if Dutch is to difficult for you as a german, than you will not learn any language at all.
How many languages does Tim speak!? That was so unexpected and impressive
I was asking the question on the Easy Greece comment but voilà! We found out here:))thanks Tim and stay tune on Easy Dutch guys!!
@@kujk4883 Он тоже говорит по-гречески? Очень круто!
11 languages and he doesn't speak Greek. The comment on Easy Greek was made by Mario ;)
@@EasyDutch Indrukwekkend!
@@EasyDutch THANK YOU MARIO!
Although I'm obsessed with self-proclaimed Polyglot videos, the general humility of the host was refreshing for a change.
I am mesmerized by how many and fluently you speak in so many languages. You build bridges to each person you interviewed, and that’s beautiful. Definitely subscribing you with total admiration. Keep it up!
How wonderful to speak so many langauges, and from different branches at that! Arabic and Azeri especially surprised me. Really inspiring for us learning Dutch✨
WOah I had no idea the host could speak so many languages! It's ridiculously impressive. And to take the time to find all these people from different nations to interview, GREAT great job all around :) Easy Languages has the best team of people on UA-cam
Heel interessant filmpje / video, dank je wel. Zoals iedereen ben ik erg verbaasd over hoeveel talen Tim spreekt. In mijn geval ben ik (het?) vorig jaar begonnen met mezelf Nederlands te leren en in november had ik de chance om naar Nederland te reizen. Het was een geweldige ervaring. Dit is mijn eerste reactie in het Nederlands 😝
Wow, knap hoor. We kijken uit naar je tweede reactie!!!
Heel knap
One month in the Netherlands and I tried to write a short letter. I think it cost me 2 hours to write just a couple of sentences. You are doing very well in a short time. Je zult gauw de taal onder de knie krijgen.
Top man!!! Ik dacht blij te zijn eindelijk een nederlander in de comments te vinden maar dit is beter. Lekker bezig. Schijnt hele moeilijke taal te wezen om te leren
Host is gifted in languages- so impressive!
Sometimes I feel like I am never gonna learn Dutch but today, after watching this, how Tim speaks so many languages.. It brought my faith back ❤❤
Everyone can learn Dutch! Have fun doing it! 😃
Wow! How many languages do you speak? A beautiful and heart-warming video. I am impressed by the work and effort spent in transcribing every language that is spoken in this video. Great job!
I don't know what's the anchor's name, but I find you super talented indeed. I can only imagine being this good at speaking multilingual languages and you are an example of it. Kudos! 🙏👏
The host can speak sooooo many languages my word 😱😱😱😱😱😱 super cool and impressive
When you want to learn the Dutch way, there's no better way than to learn Dutch. In Dutch I can really explain the Dutch way. I can do it in English or German, but it's not the same. The feel is different. When you speak English or German (or Afrikaans!) Dutch isn't so difficult.
Exactly. I could probably live with no problems without speaking Dutch, but learning the language was totally worth it for the ability to fully integrate. Little things like knowing what people are saying around me, being able to answer questions without asking for English, participate in events which occur in Dutch etc.
And Dutch is not that hard if you already know English and another language (in my case French).
I totally agree with the Italian guy, I think you won the lottery ticket if you have been born in Italy or Spain and grew up there, so much beauty there, and the memories it will give you from a early age, I can't even imagine how that must feel like..., hiking in the mountains, the architecture, food, language, wonderful cities, lakes, sea, blue water..... So, jealous 😂❤️🐳🏝️🌲🏞️🏰🏝️⛰️🏔️🏞️🚋⏳🏖️😍💙🎉💜💦In the future I really want to live in the south of europe💚💜❤️💙
@@carloandreaguilar5916 youth unemployment in Italy (in the North at least) is basically nonexistent. I change jobs (same sector different locations) every 4-5 months just to improve my CV. Most people simply don't want to work, but there's plenty of it
I am talking about in terms of happiness not in terms of wealth... ❤️ But I agree there has to be a balance, but In the end its about love for life.
한국어 나와서 놀랐어요 😮 I’m surprised by listening to korean langugage in this channel :) I also want to visit Netherlands soon!!!
Oh Tim , i was so impressed by your so many languages spoken 👍🏻👏 motivated!
This was an amazing idea!!
I am also VERY impressed with your command of so many foreign languages! BRAVO!
De presentator spreekt niet alleen veel buitenlandse talen, maar presenteert ook nog eens in heel mooi Nederlands. Het Nederlands doet me denken aan de presentatoren van de jaren 60 vorige eeuw. Die spraken ook zo mooi.
Inderdaad
2:22 Hungarian girl says "Everything is tidy and green". Green (zöld) is missing in both subtitles, but I can hear her saying it. She just has an unusual way of saying it. Hard to say "ö" when you are smiling.
Thank you! We just asked someone for the subtitles in Hungarian, so we don't really know if it was good or not. Thanks for pointing that out!
The lady from Azerbaijan is an absolute ray of sunshine! She seems so lovely.
Wat een geweldige video met zoveel verschillende talen en culturen!
Now that´s a real polyglot !
tim is a legend, this is the most inspiring video i have seen
I’m a visitor in the Netherland. I’m in Amsterdam for a couple of day. I’m trying my best to read all the signs 🪧 and notices in the shopping 🛍 and service areas in Dutch. I’m learning German so it makes the Dutch experience easier. I totally understood the Italian as I’ve known the language a long time. So too with the Spanish and Greek
I am impressed and nicely surprised to hear the host speak Bulgarian. My dad works in the Netherlands and I indirectly connect with your culture. I love the Netherlands. 🇳🇱 🤍
Leuk om te zien
Incredible video, very impressive and stimulating
Literally impressed ! Congrats, Tim ! You nailed it ! 👏👏
love this video!
it gave me a confidence boost!
gotta learn Dutch :)
Wonderful video as always. Netherlands is such a beautiful and diverse country
Dude, being able to speak several languages is really cool but how the hell did you even decide to learn Azerbaijani haha? I really appreciate that and love you videos. Ga zo door!
Geweldig programma.
Awesome video, I gotta say I'm really impressed by your language skills! I'm trying to learn a bit Russian after being pretty comfortable with English, German, French and ofc my native language Dutch.
Problem for me with Russian is learning a whole new alfabet. I can recoqnize and understand words, but writing and speaking is a whole different ballgame.
It’s impressive that you could speak multiple languages keep going👏🏻, and it’s gorgeous video, I hope I could come to Nederlands a stunning country 🤍
Yes, it's become interesting now how Timothy knows so many languages and in a very good level!)))
Tim is my new inspiration. Could you please make a video explaining how you learned all those languages?
Indrukwekkend dat de presentator zo vele talen kan spreken. Wauw! 😳💯😮👏🏼
Wow! So jalous you speak so many languages!! Well done! 🥳
Great video idea, it's funny how foreigners living in the Netherlands are much more positive about our country than the Dutch themselves :) I noticed the same in a recent interview I did on a similar topic. By the way, how were you able to interview people in all those different languages? Did you use Google translate or do you speak all those languages? If the latter, my hats off to you.
Tim speaks most of those languages, for the other ones, we just asked the people in English and they answered in their language. :D
you dont know what you have until you lose it.
natives dont have another country to compare daily life to
i appreciate the italian guy honesty in this video.Straight but respectful.
It’d be really cool if you asked Dutch people why they switch to English when foreigners try to speak Dutch with them. Is it because they don’t like the way they sound? What if you don’t speak English? Also, it’s amazing how many languages the host can wing. Well done!
Just too much effort on our side to understand what you're trying to say in Dutch. We are druk mensen 🤣
Holy crap I knew the Dutch were good at languages, but this is insane! You are amazing good sir!
Direct questions = Direct answers lol
People who are interested in history of art and architecture mostly 'feel' the country more than a lot of other people.
I can guess how much effort was made in order to present this video 👍👍❤
He can almost speak every language! ¡Me he quedado en shock!
Amazing!
Voor iemand die zo hopeloos verliefd in _alle_ talen is, als ik, dit is gewoon een natte droom!
🤯 😎😁
Zeer bedankt, Tim, 👍🏼 en hartelijke groetjes vanuit Mexico! 🇳🇱🇲🇽
Thanks for video keep going 🤠 greeting from Morocco
Very impressive Tim! How many languages do you speak?
It's really impressive, right!? I hope he'll make a video talking about how many languages he speaks and how he learned them :D
Really impressed, too! Would love to know
@@Alan-oq4oo the answer is in one of comments chains. He knows 11 languages.
i'm not a native speaker of either, but I noticed at least an error or two in his french and italian. what's really interesting to me (although it makes perfect sense) is that they were the same types of errors my students, who are native English speakers, tend to make when I'm tutoring them in Spanish
Gefeliciteerd! Tolles Video! What a treat! Chapeau! Очень хорошо. Meraviglioso.
Tim how many languages do you speak!!?? Amazing!! Thank you for the video guys
Tim you are an absolute madman, respect
I like it how the Bulgarian word for “no” and the Greek word for “yes” are pronounced the exact same way.
Ne also means yes in Korean
@@Alephbeth17 In Latin it is an interrogative particle I believe. It's been years since I've taken Latin, though. Think like adding "ne" to the end of sentences in Japanese.
@@Alephbeth17 네
@@asaasa7900 That explains why “né” is used in Portuguese in the end of a sentence meaning “isn’t it?”. I thought it was a colloquialism, but maybe it comes from Latin. Really interesting to know that.
Very interesting and educational - as much because of what was not said.
Utrecht is such a lovely city.
What a man. Speaks so many languages ... 😲
Omg!! I loved this video, congratulations for all the languages you speak its funny that I saw in a serie that dutch people has to learn a lot of languages because no one speaks dutch haha
And was sad and true the guy from Ireland as they already speak english they dont do an effort to learn other languages but anyways ! Good video :) saludos de México 🇲🇽
@@mosy5277 I believe the host is from Germany, but I am not sure about that.
Yes it's true
Wowww, how many languages do you speak? Fantastic. Well done.!
Nice video. Would love to visit Netherlands🇳🇱
Wauw! Petje af. Echt fantastisch, geen woorden voor.
i didn't know that we have a polyglot here :) Great work man!
Damn! So impressed for being able to speak so many languages! 👍👏👍👏
Top tip for everyone wanting to live in the Netherlands: don't expect to find a place to life unless you're really lucky or very wealthy. Both the buyers and rental markets are completely insane at this moment, thanks to our government. There's far, far more people looking for a house than actual houses. We're currently even turning boats, tents and shipping containers into places to life, that should tell you something about how dire the situation is...
that's really impressive 😯
OMG!!! Um dia serei poliglota assim também 😅
hoe heb je zo veel talen goed geleerd? bravo
I do want to warn all the enthusiastic people advertising that it's great to live in the big city, that I am currently living in a small city, and I've been on the waitinglist since I was 16. I'm 30 now, and there have been some houses that I decided not to rent, but you have to wait ages before another one comes along.
Another girl I know, currently lives with a baby in a flat with her whole family, because she can't find a proper appartment for herself and the baby and her boyfriend, because of strict rules about income and her job and so on.
Bottomline, there's a big housingcrisis. Use public transport and rent a place in a nearby city, with housemates.
The number of languages Tim speaks makes him a great choice for the Dutch foreign minister in the next Rutte cabinet.
Wow!!! Tim is a multi linguist! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 wait no, you're a hyperpolyglot 😲 you're amazing 🤩
Linguistics has nothing to do with speaking many languages...
I thought I'd see more Indonesians as foreigners in this vid considering the long colonial ties. I think there were none shown in the vid but there was a Korean, Bulgarian and others...I think the Dutch colonized Indonesia in the 1620s so it's a long time for cross-cultural exchanges and for some Indonesian expats to visit or try life in the Netherlands.
Ik had een Finse vriendin die bij mij ingetrokken was. Ze kon prima Engels, maar ze drong bij mijn vrienden en kennissen aan om geen Engels tegen haar te praten, maar Nederlands. Ze keek veel films en tv-programma's in het Engels, met Nederlandse ondertiteling, en Nederlandstalige films en tv-programma's met Engelse ondertiteling. In een jaartje had ze het verbaal en schriftelijk op eigen houtje vrijwel accentloos onder de knie. Tot alle Nederlandse grammaticale toestanden in geschrift aan toe...
Ik sprak laatst een Engelse vrouw (niet zeker of ze Amerikaans of Schots was, het zou best Schots kunnen zijn, er was een soort knauwend accent met een vreemde R) en ik sprak haar aan de telefoon en zij sprak nog steeds een mengelmoesje van Engels en Nederlands.
Ik vroeg haar naar een bepaald boek en zij antwoordde met dat zware accent dat ze dan even moest zoeken, want ze kwam origineel niet uit Nederland en daarom ging het allemaal wat trager.
Dus ik zei; 'Ach wat leuk, hoe vind u het hier?' en ze antwoordde; 'Nou ik woon hier al 30 jaar met mijn man hoor, maar iedereen spreekt Engels, dus daarom heb ik nog niet zoveel geleerd.'
Hablas muchos idiomas.. c est super..alle Achtung !!!! cok guzel..
I love the Netherlands and have many friends there. I speak reasonably good Dutch and always try to learn more but Dutch people always want to speak to me in English.
how many languanges does he speak,?incredible ! wow..
I love this channel. I am in America and learning to speak Dutch in hopes to move to the Netherlands one day.
As shown in the video you don't need to know Dutch to live here. You could come over without it. But you will always gain extra credit for actually learning a language wherever you go.
You could already move to the Netherlands and learn and practice here, so you could improve your level in a faster way! :)
@@EasyDutch I would love to, but I know it will be very expensive to move. I am still a college student without a degree, and I dont even know where to start on finding a job or somewhere to live.
Also, I want to move there for good, so I have to learn all of the government information necessary to do this. And since I want to stay there, I would like to know the language. I know one could get by just fine with English, but I want the full experience.
I lived in Korea for 2 years. While many people did speak English, I know i missed out on a lot by not knowing korean.
@@BoguZzNL yes. I have heard this is true. But I want to adapt to the country and not force people to adapt to me. Also I love learning languages and am fascinated by dutch
@@ssimms8995 It's not so difficult, you can do it! :) Veel succes!
where can I follow Tim? how many languages does he speak?
Netherlands is truly international with people from so many countries are living here
I found it interesting the Irish guy now has an American accent- I assume from speaking to Dutch people and other foreigners who speak with an American accent and Irish accent is not far off American. Does worry me he's been there 15yrs and doesn't speak Dutch- I have just got a job in NL and my co-workers (Dutch) are joking saying it's too hard, don't bother learning, didn't even occur to them I want to learn, they just immediately reassured me everyone speaks English- when I said I really want to learn Dutch they just tut-tutted. I have learnt French as a second language and I believe in myself with Dutch but I do worry if everyone just speaks to me in English- I will just keep asking to speak Dutch and sign up for hobbies/classes that are taught in Dutch (not language lessons- like fitness, art etc.) since I won't get much practice at work.
Yeah - I can't imagine living in a country for 15 years without learning the language.
I would recommend you to learn Dutch, if you're living here: knowing the mother tongue of someone gets you much closer to that someone than just communicating in some external language which doesn't have any affective value for that person. :) Plus, a lot of things are only in Dutch and a lot of social events too, so it's a great advantage!
- Mario
Are you going to live in a city or a town? Maybe it would be interesting to live in a small town in order to get to socialize with the locals. The only disadvantage would be possibly the distance (commute time) to work, but maybe not. Take this into consideration. Good luck!
I really don't think he was Irish and to be living in a country for fifteen years with no grasp of the local language is ridiculous
Supergaaf dat je een Azerbeidzjaanse dame tegen het lijf liep en daar ook nog in het Azerbeidzjaans mee kon praten🇦🇿😃
Браво, страхотен български!
Yoooo brooo Hij spreekt veel talen . ik ben onder de indruk .
Wow he speaks so many languages! I'm so envious. I found the Azerbaijan couple to be so warm and friendly!
people are just selfish if they are not open to learn the local language, but at the same time i feel people are becoming right like this all around the world
Ik denk dat het altijd heel belangrijk is de taal van het land te leren, als je wil leven in het land. Waarschijnlijk kan je veel in engels oplossen maar het geeft de verhurer (?) de misschien geen nederlands praten of je bent en un groepje met nederlanders en zie spreken natuurlijk nederlands in de groep. Er fout het gevoel van integratie met de mensen. Wil je alle mensen verzoeken engels te praten in die situaties?
How you can do that? So many languages .. complimenti il tuo italiano è davvero buono!
wow 😃 how many language can you speak ! 👏👏👏
WTF!! I want to speak as many languages as this guy! 😭
~ the motivation~
3:43 I like when that grandma from Azerbaijan starts off with Russian „вот“ and they subtitled that hahaha! I love code-mixing ❤️
We use Russian words like this all the time xD
And she also almost said 'gemeente' at the beginning which betrayed at the start she also speaks (some) Dutch. Fun people they were.. :-)
Wat een nette heer, deze jonge presentator. Hij lijkt bovendien een talenwonder, maar ik vermoed dat hij van te voren geoefend heeft.
Leuk dat zoveel buitenlandse mensen zo lovend zijn over ons landje. Een heel speciaal landje, wat maar weinig Nederlanders lijken te beseffen.
Nee, hij heeft niet geoefend, hij spreekt verschillende talen op verschillende niveaus! :)
- Mario
@@EasyDutch knap!
Your bulgarian is amazing! Well done :)
