We would like to thank every polyglot who appeared in this video for taking part to it and for sharing his/her own point of view on language learning!
Special thanks to Stefano (ua-cam.com/users/linguaEpassione) and Davide (ua-cam.com/users/PodcastItaliano)! It was a pleasure to know you, guys!
The more languages a person speaks, the more people they can interact with, which leads to a deeper understanding of humanity, and hopefully more peace, friendship, and cooperation ❤
I totally agree with you, my friend. I want to learn a lot of languages in my life. This is my biggest wish. This languages gives me a lot of self confidence
I highly recommend learning Dutch / Old Norse + Icelandic / Norwegian which are one of the prettiest and most refined / unique / melodic / gorgeous / distinctive / poetic languages ever, as they are as pretty as English and are one of those languages that are just too pretty not to know, and also Gothic / Danish / Faroese / Welsh / Breton / Galician / Hungarian / Gallo etc, they are all gorgeous languages with almost only pretty words, and German and Swedish and Luxembourgish and the Frisian languages and all other Germanic languages and the other 4 modern Celtic languages (Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic) and Slovene and Pretarolo / Walloon / Sardinian / Esperanto / Latin / Occitan etc are also gorgeous, so they are all super fun to learn and a great option, so I highly recommend learning them all or any of them / some of them etc - I always choose languages based on their prettiness / how many pretty words they have and on how organized their aspect is, and the languages I am learning are mostly category 1 languages and category 2 languages and a few category 3 languages, so they are also easy to learn, and I have over 50 languages on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, plus I am already writer level in English and native speaker level in Spanish, having learned these two languages passively in / since childhood, which is definitely a huge advantage, and when it comes to the newer languages that I started learning on my own about one year ago, I am learning 15+ languages at the same time because it saves a lot of years and decades and also because learning multiple pretty languages at the same time makes the learning process a lot more fun, and I am advanced level in Dutch, close to advanced level in Norwegian, close to intermediate level in Norse / Icelandic / Welsh, intermediate level in German / Swedish / French / Portuguese / Italian, beginner level in Breton / Hungarian / Slovene / Danish / Faroese / Gothic, and total beginner in most other languages, and I can say that language learning is one of my favorite hobbies, and the learning process itself is very enjoyable, because seeing all the pretty words and always discovering more new pretty words (which are a true work of art) brings a lot of joy to the eye / ear, so learning so many pretty languages is also very motivating in itself!
How many languages does Timothy even speak?? I'm so impressed and envious and motivated by him!
In another vidéo he said 11 (!!)
just learning spanish has felt so good, I am not fluent but i can have conversations! Sometimes I have to hold back the tears.
Same I get severe burnouts and wanna die but it'll pay off
@@joykendi883 Stick with it. It candy definitely be frustrating,but will get easier with time,as long as you keep consistent. And make sure you listen, listen, listen, and and listen todos los días de la semana. Llevo dieceseis meses aprendiendo español y finalmente puedo tener conversaciones con nativos del idioma
@@tjohnson4517 muchas gracias!!
6:40 That Amazigh script has a beautiful design about it. Amazing.
ⵜⴰⵏⵎⵎⵉⵔⵜ ⵏⴽ ❤
From Morocco ✌️ amazighe
It looks ancient
Brazilian Portuguese is so melodic. I would love to learn it some day.
Brazilian Portuguese is a pretty language, and I am intermediate level in Portuguese at the moment! I highly recommend learning it 2gether with Dutch / Old Norse + Icelandic / Norwegian which are one of the prettiest and most melodic / refined / poetic languages ever, as Dutch / Norse + Icelandic / Norwegian are as pretty as English and are one of those languages that are just too pretty not to know, and also Gothic / Danish / Faroese / Welsh / Breton / Galician / Hungarian / Gallo etc, they are all gorgeous languages with almost only pretty words, and German and all other Germanic languages and the other 4 modern Celtic languages (Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic) and Slovene and Latin and Esperanto etc are also gorgeous, so they are all super fun to learn and a great option, so I highly recommend learning them all or any of them / some of them etc, and by the way, Galician is kind of like simplified Brazilian in a way, and Galician / Portuguese / Gallo are the prettiest Latin languages! I always choose languages based on their prettiness / how many pretty words they have and on how organized their aspect is, and the languages I am learning are mostly category 1 languages and category 2 languages and a few category 3 languages, so they are also easy to learn, and I have over 50 languages on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, plus I am already writer level in English and native speaker level in Spanish, having learned these two languages passively in / since childhood, which is definitely a huge advantage, and when it comes to the newer languages that I started learning on my own about one year ago, I am learning 15+ languages at the same time because it saves a lot of years and decades and also because learning multiple pretty languages at the same time makes the learning process a lot more fun, and I am advanced level in Dutch, close to advanced level in Norwegian, close to intermediate level in Norse / Icelandic / Welsh, intermediate level in German / Swedish / French / Portuguese / Italian, beginner level in Breton / Hungarian / Slovene / Danish / Faroese / Gothic, and total beginner in most other languages, and I can say that language learning is one of my favorite hobbies, and the learning process itself is very enjoyable, because seeing all the pretty words and always discovering more new pretty words (which are a true work of art) brings a lot of joy to the eye / ear, so learning so many pretty languages is also very motivating in itself!
@@FrozenMermaid666🤗
That both intimidated and motivated me. Well done!
Aprender idiomas es acceder a esa parte del mundo en el cual se le habla ,es acceder a su cultura,su historia ,su idiosincrasia es crecer como ser humano...Admiro a la gente que tiene esta habilidad
Me too, my friend. 👍👍👍
Wow Esperanto !
Amazigh??? First time hearing that language!
The alphabet is amazing !
necesitamos un video sobre el entrevistador. El habla tantos idiomas con fluidez. Es increible.
Coming soon. ;)
@@EasyDutch yay
Gracias
😍 I love learning languages. It definitely seems like we have a new personality or something like that. Greetings from Brazil
I totally agree with you, my friend. We have same dreams 🥰🥰🥰
Yes!!! A romantic French or a rich businessman, or an Italian cook😮
Cetere, tiu homo kiu estis intervjuita en Esperanto parolis tre bone: gratulon al li!
Maravilhoso trabalho! A variedade dos idiomas é um grande tesouro humano. Parabéns pelo trabalho de transcrição e obrigado a cada pessoa que nos permitiu ouvir os sons de tantas línguas. Fico feliz que tenham encontrado uma brasileira :D Beijos do Brasil.
I am so happy to read that. I love Portuguse language. This is so cute ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊
The interviewer is so impressive!
He is. The only problem is that he reproduces that awful gurgling Dutch "r" in every single language he speaks. 😁
The time I wasted at university. Instead of sitting down and learning languages is outstanding.
Great video! Learning languages means also learning about people, cultures, feelings, ideas, the whole world. And "Easy Languages" does a great job for us all who aspire to be polyglots. Hope you continue to disseminate more and more languages. I still look forward to the day when there will be an "Easy Persian".
Hi, you wanna learn Persian? If yes I could help you. I'm native speaker
@@aryanakhademmohammady1763 Yes, I totally wanna learn it. I would love to have your help! How can we do it?
What a beautiful message. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊
Also waiting for "Easy Persian"!!! :) :) :)
11:24
let me correct as a native
11:29 Каква е твоята - каква should not definitive because твоята is
11:36 ми харесват - plural
11:40 различни, not разници
11:47 по-близка error in captions
11:50 поблиза is not a word, captions should be по-близка
11:56 ме мотивира
So nice to see amazigh representation, what a surprise!
ⵜⴰⵏⵎⵎⵉⵔⵜ - Thank you!
What an amazing "meeting of minds"! Watching in San Francisco, and wish I was there. This is wonderful to watch, and so inspiring. The beauty of diversity, with a common love for languages and world cultures.
Thank you Tim from EASY DUTCH, and the whole EASY LANGUAGES family for giving us language learners such a useful, practical, and fun way to practice our language listening/reading skills with these videos.!
Thank you for your kind words!
As a Turkish native speaker, I thought the girl from Belarus was also Turkish. So impressive!
❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰
her turkish is really good
Complimenti a Stefano per il suo finlandese e a Davide per il suo spagnolo
Interesting how I could understand maltese as an Arabic speaker
Interesting! I started learning French at 11, Latin at 12, & German at 14. At 15 I went to Tahiti for 3 months to stay with a French-speaking family to become more fluent in French. At 18 I learnt French in my 1st year at university, then at 19 did 2 semesters of Spanish, French, & German. I never became fluent in these languages. But I think they programmed my brain. I think every child should be taught a language other than their own. Esperanto is a good choice if they don't know any other second language. Today I practice German, French, Spanish, & Dutch every day. I intend to go through the A1, A2, B1, B2 level exams in each. Plus I really want to start on Greek but one thing at a time. I have had dinner conversations in Greece where each of us spoke 2 languages sufficiently, but only our second languages were in common. So truly fun!
I wish there was easy swedish
Omg, me too!
It'd be so nice as I'm currently studying swedish
This is really great and useful video.
Timothy, du bist super! Es macht großen Spaß, deine Videos zu sehen und dich in vielen Sprachen zu hören. Einmal hattest du sogar den Premierminister der Niederlande vor der Kamera (Thema Kleidung)! Dein Arabisch ist sehr gut und auch deine anderen Sprachen. Das ist sehr motivierend. Weiter so! Grüße aus Mainz
Hey Anis! Du auch Easy Languages sehen?
@@InRussianFromAfar Конечно, mein Lieber :-)
@@AnisHamadeh Hallo Anis? Wie geht’s es dir?
it makes me incredibly happy to see foreigners learning greek :) hope he continues!
Great video!
For me, learning a language is not enough, but sounding flawless and melodic in it is equality important, as I'm a musician.
It's so nice to see linguaepissione in here
The Esperanto guy is exactly how you expect an Esperanto speaker to look like
Interlingua já deve ter um espaço também! Estou ansioso desse momento acontecer!!
Que vídeo maravilhoso! A variedade de línguas é uma das manifestações mais notórias do poder de DEUS🙌! Fiquei contente por terem encontrado uma falante do meu português brasileiro.
Abraços do BRASIL e parabéns pelo trabalho inestimável de todos da EASY LANGUAGES. Compartilherei esse canal com todos meus amigos e conhecidos!😃
Gracias por sus videos y información.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️
very very nice to listen to these different languages❤️❤️❤️
Amazigh!!! Awesome!
this guy is my new god
Languages are a passion.I've had this passion ever since I learned how to read, basically. Recently a posted a video of myself speaking six languages, so whoever would like to take a look, welcome. Greetings from Croatia to all polyglots!
Como cuando estás viendo una película y de repente escuchas algo en ruso y lo entiendes no tiene precio 🤘🧿por eso estoy estudiando mandarín 🐉🍀😜🇲🇽
I find it kinda funny that it's a polyglot convention in Poland but no one spoke Polish in the entire video. To raczej niefortunne!
I wasn't conscious on how beautiful the Russian language was until I watched this video
Vídeo realmente interessante. Falo Alemão, Português Brasileiro, Inglês E Francês. Minha motivação é simplesmente conseguir quebrar as barreiras dos idiomas. Claro que procuro me aproximar e me aprofundar da cultura e tudo mais e também desfrutar dos benefícios que os idiomas trazem no mercado de trabalho também.
Wunderbar, ich bin stolz auf dich
Wow soy de Alemania y hablo español y puedo entender todo de tu texto portugués. Portugués y español son realmente muy similar.
Português e Espanhol são irmãos
واو افضل شئ يمكن ان يتعلمه الشخص هو اللغات ،🥰
I wanted to write Turkish comment LOL Turkish : Poligot insanların böyle toplanması,etkinlik yapması hoşuma gitti Kesinlikle bu video çok iyi bir fikir ayrıca mesela hayatımda ilk defa Berberice konuşan biri gördüm nasıl bir konuşma şekli olduğunu bilmiyordum benim için değişik bir deneyim oldu
I say it's pretty impressive. 😁😌🙌🏻☀️👌🏻👍🏻
Me encantaría participar en alguna ocasión en una asamblea internacional de poliglotas. Qué se hace realmente en estas reuniones y cómo se organiza? Hay una página web que informa acerca de esto?
Ik kan hier geen link plakken maar als je zoekt op polyglot gathering, polyglotconference en Langfest vind je het!
@@PetraStaal Heel bedankt. Ik zul het aankijken.
What motivates me is CURIOSITY AND HUNGER for more
Классно!
Permítanme a mí también señalar algunas correcciones:
12:05: «el video» es correcto, así decimos en América, pero como lo dijeron en español peninsular, deberían transcribirlo como «vídeo».
12:08: políglotas
12:09: sé
12:13: para el aprendizaje
12:15: ¿tú qué dices?
12:20: ¡Fue...
I am a Japanese who can only speak Japanese, so I envy polyglot. I feel it is not such a difficult mission for a native Bulgarian speaker to learn Russian, a native Italian speaker to learn French, or a native German speaker to learn Swedish.
You only speak Japanese? But you wrote this comment in English. Did you use Google translate?
日本人として、韓国を習うのはけっこうやさしいですよ。
What motivates me in learning other languages is being able to pick up a book in a different language and being able to understand it to read it.
That's so impressive! Thanks for sharing it!
Love from Ukraine! 🇺🇦
7:15
How many languages does he speak?
11 languages
My motivation is to read original documents, because some papers and books theirs translation is not good. Original language always will be easy to understand with simple words
Auguri del tuo spagnolo, Davide (se mai leggerai questo mio commento, ah ah)! 😂 ¡Muy bien hecho!
Mi tute konsentas....
Mi ĝojas, ke unu el ili parolas Esperanton :)
Please make Easy Esperanto
Your wishes could come true... :D
@@EasyDutch Ĉu? Ĉu oni planas krei Easy Esperanto...? 😃
Could be very hard to find people on the streets who speak it though :D What makes all the easy languages special are the answers from random people the street
@@canchero724 Ha ha, that's true! That's why I've never wondered why there isn't an Easy Esperanto channel. 🙂 But, if the format is different, or if they only film episodes during Esperanto events, they could make it work, I guess.
Good news! First Easy Esperanto video was release 2 months ago! 😁
3:45 alv,podcast italiano, a ese wey lo sigo XD
I wish there was easykorean!❤
Süper
Amazigh woahhhh!!!
when you are connected with historical ard you ought to study history , most of historial books in origin arenot in English or Russian ( theese both languages are from my child hood ). So to read the original texts you ouught to study . With studing Bible we have the same problem . To study langage is not the purpose to conect or to improve yourself .
that is a hot interviewer goddamn, never would know he could speak arabic
Esperanto 💚🤍
At first I thought the Esperanto speaker was speaking Lithuanian
All polyglots around the world united!!!
... en dos palabras : IM-PRESIONANTE ( Spanish joke)
Ich frage mich, woher sie die Zeit zum Lernen nehmen. Ich muss arbeiten, um meinen Lebensunterhalt zu verdienen und da bleibt wenig Zeit um Sprachen zu lernen. Aber wahrscheinlich sind diese Menschen hochintelligent und lernen daher sehr, sehr schnell, während ich Jahre brauche bis ich halbwegs in einer Fremdsprache radebrechen kann. Oder sie sind steinreich, haben keine Verpflichtungen und können von Früh bis Spät lernen.
ACHAM Q É FACIU LER ENTENDER O Q A UNIAO EUROPEIA FALAM E O MUNDO afora kkkkkkk
मेरी सब से प्यारी भाषा हिन्दी ही है। अफ़सोस की बात है कि बहुभाषियों में से हिन्दी बहुत लोकप्रिय नहीं है। मैं तो गर्व से हिन्दी बोलता हूं।
Where do they speak Amazigh?
Northwestern Africa like in Morocco, Algeria, Libya, and other neighboring countries. I googled it earlier.
@@chiaraippoliti yep exactly in north western part of Africa and m from there
girls
Turkish is so beautiful🎉
tá cadê alguém que fala português começou a xenófobia
Leider konnte ich nicht kommen🥺
Maalesef gelemedim🥺
Unfortunately I couldn't come there🥺
للاسف ما قدرت اجي 💔🇸🇾
Hadi bakalim ,you're so handsome
A linguist once told me that among polyglot males there's a higher percentage of gays. I wonder if it's true.
What happend to easy swedish?:(
Hi! Unfortunately, currently, we don't have any active co-producers to produce Easy Swedish episodes on regular basis. Once we find a team, we will do our best to provide more Easy Swedish content. 😊
Your Spanish is not bad.
Tim is Half Spanish
Why learn so many languages? = so that you can make a UA-cam video about it.
Sri lankan guyy💗
nikogo z polski nie było? xD
I insist: When are we going to see these so called "polyglots" speaking the languages they claim to speak fluently with native speakers in extensive conversations to be exposed so that people would realize how little they speak, if anything at all. There are a lot of "polyglots" out there who are not what they claim to be. Sad but true. Even sadder is the fact that people praise these individuals as if they were better than the rest. Pathetic. 😂 Each day, more and more people have started to doubt the self proclaimed polyglots. It is well known now that you can search a few phrases on the internet, listen to a few Pimsleur audios, and read a script, and voila!! You're now a polyglot fluent in different languages. Come on people. 😂😂
All of these languages are absolutely beautiful, but I was NOT expecting to hear Amazigh 🥹
Learning languages is a beautiful thing that has become widespread over the last decade because of the internet and the ability to connect instantly, allowing people to learn and speak to others instantly.
I began studying, because I love the experience when speaking to someone and they are almost in disbelief, but fascinated that their language is coming from me and the fact that I took interest in learning their language (s)
