The biggest obstacle to North Americans learning languages is the English language. Too many people think there's no point in learning other languages. I look forward to seeing how many languages you learn, Will. Thanks for the discussion.
This is pretty clear when you see them in a foreign country. They are in general the last to learn the local language compared to those from another countries. 🤣 The same here in China.
Yo crecí hablando tres idiomas. Mi primera idioma era inglés, y también aprendí francés porque mi abuela materna era francesa y también aprendí español en las preservadoras de pescado en Alaska cuando era chamaquito. Y también tengo herencia española de Andalucía, Extremadura, Castilla y León, Castilla-La Mancha y Galicia.
@@moibogperyn3567 как для иностранца он использует очень даже неплохие речевые обороты, которые редко когда услышишь от людей которые на русском говорили не с детства. Плюс он сам сказал что с 60 лет его начал учить, для такого срока это огромный результат

I got the impression he wasn't really listening to / comprehending Steve to a certain degree, so he thought Steve had wanted to end the Russian part of the conversation when he said "enough", lol (I'm also Russian)
Größten Respekt vor dieser Leistung. Dein Deutsch ist wirklich super 👌. May you have major success with your channel. I really like to watch your videos, you always seem so gentle and genuine.
Произношение на русском весьма достойное! И как правильно говорил Стив Кауфман, его русский вполне понятен и без полного соблюдения грамматики, потому что в русском языке на мой взгляд в отличие от английского, грамматика больше придает красоты звучания языку, чем смысловой нагрузки, ибо можно даже толком ее не зная, говорить одними инфинитивами и все равно даже в самой глухой сибирской деревушке люди вас поймут.
Это всё от того что в русском языке нет чёткой последовательности слов в предложении. И формулировать свои мысли наверное проще,но и наверное не у носителя от этого путаница возникает в голове. Плюс у русского очень хорошее слово образование, можно даже коверкать слова, и они будут понятны, либо же вообще придумывать новые на ходу)
@@ФедорПавлишин-й6ф Ну а почему нет? чтоб быть полиглотом достаточно знать несколько языков, и свободно уметь на них общаться. Не обязательно их знать как родные, и в во всех аспектах. Конечно чем ты больше знаешь тем ты ценнее как профессионал, но даже и профессионалы ведь с чего то тоже начинают)
My mother is Swiss and my father was Italian. He had worked a couple of years in Germany before meeting her and he could speak German. When I was a kid my father didn't want my mother to speak Swiss German to me, so we always spoke in Italian. Then when I was 18 we moved to German-speaking Switzerland and I was forced to learn a language that was almost unknown to me. Also, my father made me choose French instead of English at school only because we had relatives living in French-speaking Switzerland. I'm glad I learned French, but even then it was clear that English was a more useful language. Eventually, I learned English on my own by watching movies and TV series and reading websites in English. I still resent my father for not raising me bilingual.
Why didn't he want you know Swiss German? Swiss German is hard to learn because everywhere people just teach high German, but not Swiss. Anyway, German is probably one of the most useful languages to know in Europe. Im now living in Switzerland and have to learn German.. its an impossible task for me because I don't actually like it. I wish I just somehow knew it as a child. If parents can, they should ALWAYS teach languages to their children even if they don't think that they will need it... because one never knows and because each language teaches us something else and extra.
@@MissSladousek My dad thought that I should learn Hochdeutsch, but my mother and most Swiss people are not used to it, and since we didn't plan to move when I was a kid, we just spoke Italian.
@@alexandrorocca7142 ah I see, shame that they didn't "settle" with Swiss German because I actually think its much nicer sounding than high German. But now you know different languages and I'm sure you will make better decisions with them.
yeah I was thinking the same as Steve, your pronounciation in all of these languages is really impressive. Great conversation, though I wouldn't have minded it being much longer
Well you should try to find some Swedish people who speak in one of the more central Swedish dialects to learn speaking it properly, I suggest Stockholm mostly because even if it sounds horrible to me, I do think it's the easiest for foreigners to learn. And practicing speaking with someone is very helpful. I'm from Sweden myself but since I'm not a speaker of Standard Swedish normally, I have a pretty strong regional accent which even other Swedish people find difficult to understand. So finding one of these lighter and clearer accents is good for you.
@@mccreeper03 I'm impressed by other Swedes who learn the Scanian dialect. I have not met many who can pull it off, but there is a few and they definitely have my respect 😂
Great content, Remi you are a gem in the polyglot community... Great personality and such a natural talent... One comment though on the subtitles: "... eller om jag har lärt det en gång till" you may want to fix the subtitles here, Steve says here "I don't know if it has come back or if I (re-)learned it one more time/again" referring to his childhood exposure to Swedish.
I'm from Sweden and I'm studying Japanese, Korean and now I'm going to listen a bit to Spanish for school. I also want to say that your Swedish was good, some mistakes here and there but I would definitely understand what you are saying. :) Det är roligt att se folk lära sig svenska även fast svenska inte är super populärt. Thumbs up!
Hur långt tror ni är nog för att kunna ett språk "flytande"? För när jag försöker lära mig ett nytt språk tar jag in väldigt mycket tid till att finslipa det tills det inte är några misstag alls. Men som man ser i videon gör de här killarna mycket misstag och ändå säger de att de kan prata språken?
@@Wezik jag tror det beror på hur du pluggar. Tränar du konversation med folk som har ditt målspråk som native? Annars tar det enligt mig mkt lång tid. Men gör du det går det rätt snabbt.
@@Wezik Att kunna ett språk flytande är när man når ca B2-nivå. Det är ekvivalent med att kunna göra sig förstådd under i princip alla förhållanden men att fortfarande använda simpla ord och en hel del grammatiska misstag.

His Italian was pretty good, just like he said, a few mess ups with Spanish. For example, he pronounced perfezione like perfection. He also had some weird things were he would just say the past participle, but no helping verb, but considering Italian is probably low on his list, it’s still impressive
John brate. Svaka čast. Would love to meet you. Pozz iz ZGa :) I love when you start speaking Italian it comes naturally to start moving hands, shoulders. It comes naturally only by looking at them every summer :D I'm trying to learn Italian....really should push myself more.
Изучение русского языка, чтение и прослушивание великих писателей русской литературы и многое другое, знакомство с русскими людьми было важным событием в моей жизни. Русский открыл дверь чешскому, украинскому и польскому. Нынешние события не только печальны и трагичны, трагичны для Украины, но и трагичны для тех россиян, которые видят и понимают, что происходит. Я надеюсь, что их число увеличится, и в ближайшее время. Их судьба не должна быть связана с их нынешним правительством.

Love it! Wow, even after all these years only in China in Chinese I can still understand most of these, feels good. And you really sound like native in all of them!
I cracked up when Steve said "Alguien me coge en el coche" because in much of Latin America (with the exception of Colombia and maybe some other countries) it has a meaning other than "Someone picks me up in the car." The language I'm studying now is Norwegian. Years ago I read a book by Barry Farber called "How To Learn Any Language" (1991 edition) and in it he mentioned that one should learn Norwegian first because Swedes and Danes have a hard time understanding each other in their native languages but Norwegians can deal equally well with Swedes and Danes in their native language. I had a Norwegian pen-pal for 10 years and while she taught me some of her language, her English was perfect. Now I'm using Assimil (through French; I had a French pen-pal for 10 years also), Duolingo and Netflix. I'd also like to learn Polish and Romanian, but one language at a time. Still, both say "pa" for "bye" whereas Russian uses "пока" instead.
I'm very impressed by his level in French. He caught many typical expressions that are generally only used by native speakers (like "J'ai envie de te dire", "je dois dire"...). Of course his accent doesn't sound native but that's not the most important thing. I completely agree about what he said in the Spanish part, the most important thing is to be able to have a good passive vocabulary and to be able to make you understand when you speak the language. In my case for example I don't speak Spanish but I understand it very well (thanks to my knowledge in Italian and French) and some additional vocabulary I naturally learnt, at a point I didn't need to read the subtitles. One day I met a Spanish guy who needed an information but the only language he was able to speak was Spanish. I managed to help him with a mix of French and Italian.
The guest was having a fluent conversation and flowing through languages, I thought I was decent flowing through English and French but this guy is something else. His French accent is super cool sounds like the old Quebec accent.
You're totally right about his French! I was trying to figure out whom he was reminding me of when he was speaking French, and it was of a narrator or actor in older movies or series (dubbed ones included). 😃 Edit: I'm from Quebec.
Steve is friggin incredible! - Its not just that he speak a lot of langauges - there are people who speak, Italian, French, English - its that he speaks a lot of languages AND THE MOST DIFFICULT ONES - which are all different - Japanese, Chinese and Russian, are three of the four most difficult languages to speak for an English speaker. The man is incredible.
What strikes me with both of them (compared to some of the other polyglot videos) is how good their pronunciation is (however, I can only judge German, English, French and Spanish).
Respect and well done gents. I love languages. My mother tongue is Spanish but i also speak Italian, German, Hungarian (lived and was married to Hungarian) and now learning Lithuanian (married to Lithuanian).
Nice! As a german i can tell you, that both of you are doing a lot of mistakes in both pronounciation and from a grammatical standpoint, but i can definitely understand everything that you are trying to say. Still really good for seven languages
Echt , so lustig du sagst gleich " you are both ""doing""" a lot of mistakes " .... lol , oh the irony ..lol... Back to English school for you mein freund !! hahahaha...
KC for liiiife. I dont understand any of the languages except English, and Swahili(which you dont speak, but I incourage you should learn) I enjoyed your conversation. Keep it up bro. One love from Shawnee, KC.
Wow, ich bin beeindruckt! Ich spreche leider "nur" Deutsch (Muttersprache), Englisch, einigermaßen gutes Schwedisch un ein bisschen Finnisch. Ich habe euer Schwedisch ganz gut verstanden. In der Schule habe ich Latein gelernt, konnte also ein bisschen Italiensich und Spanisch verstehen, Französisch aber weniger, weil die Aussprache einfach so anders ist. Von Russisch - und slavischen Sprachen allgemein - habe ich leider überhaupt keine Ahnung. Hättet ihr noch Finnisch geredet, wäre ich vom Stuhl gefallen :D Ich lerne es selbst gerade und weiß, dass es komplett anders ist, als die Sprachen, "die man halt so kennt", obwohl Finnland in Europa liegt. Aaaaaaanyway, it was fun listening and it is very impressive how you two switched the languages immediately, very nice! :D
I really envy people like you! I just speak 3 languages counting on my mother tongue, but I forget words very quickly when I don't use a language. It's quite hard to get to that high level you have in so many languages.
Как же мило он говорит по русски!Я восхищаюсь людьми, которые в состоянии выучить русский язык, и то что они говорят с ошибками то это вообще пустяк! Супер!
Это очень круто, я впечатлён. Я знаю английский и немного испанский, думал что больше трёх языков выучить не получится, но после данного видео мой мир никогда не будет прежним.
It's so weird... your vidéos are so fun and interesting and you hear other languages and meet interesting people.. but then... Ooooohhh il parle Français! Je suis tellement content!!!! 😂
Tu español es increíble quiero tu acento :D Le français est tellement dur à apprendre et l'accent c'est une autre histoire. J'ai beaucoup de respect pour les gens qui se lancent dans l'apprentissage de ma langue natale ! Bravo You mentioned you play in Croatia? do you speak Croatian yet ? Which city do you live in? I moved to Hrvatska too a few years back, beautiful country isn't it =) Yet to learn the language though x)
Muchas Gracias Compa! Where did you move to in Croatia!? Check out the newest video on the channel to see all the crazy Croatian speaking. I love the language but wow ya for an English speaker it's all over the place haha. Still worth the effort 🙌
Mexican - American here, grew up in the States and lost most of my Spanish, but got back on it almost a year and a half ago. I'm in B2 of 🇲🇽 Spanish and learning 🇵🇭 Tagalog (Filipino) and say that I'm in C1.
In most cases, the reason for unsatisfactory results of learning a foreign language is a loss of interest in the student, or you have stopped at some stage of their training and began to "stomp in one place. Thus, the effort and time you have spent in the absence of new techniques will not allow progress in mastering the language. For example, if you spend your time and effort learning the alphabet for months on end, you will not learn to read, write, speak and understand the spoken and written language. Yuriy Ivantsiv in his book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" writes that you should not selectively stop at one thing, and try to gradually move forward, without skipping anything and not jumping, developing all the necessary language skills for you proportionally. Only then will you get effective results. In your strategy for learning any information for you, including a foreign language, you should adhere to the following principle: you made a breakthrough - mastered the new information, then you need to take the time to consolidate the material and bring it to automaticity. The next step - learn new material and master it, and so on. "There are no secrets to success. It's the result of good preparation, hard work, and learning from your mistakes." Colin Powell. Many thanks to the author of the channel for the tremendous work in creating the instructional video. Thanks to such helpful videos, we have rapid progress in language learning.
Сколько полиглотов смотрел до этого. Почти все сыпались именно на русском языке. Еле выговаривали слова, и постоянно запинались. А тут прям свободный говор, вот это впечатляет.
We call audiobooks ljudböcker in Sweden, hörböcker would be hearbooks. 0:42 He said "or if I've learnt it once again". I'd love to see a video like this but where you mix all languages at random times. He should have gotten a lost word in the end there.
Very good, yes they speak very basic, but they do it quite fluently, well done, I konw 5 languages and always admire to learn more and more languages. Ukrainian, Russian, Latvian, English and Spanish my 5 languages, but speak on all of them at advanced level.
I m Ukrainian,but can speak Russiian like a native speaker,so i can say that when Will John said in russian: Хватит,хватит, конечно хватит. I was really surprised because itsnt have any accent,cool
Вообще заметный акцент в русском есть практически у всех иностранцев. Да и грамматика хромает сильно. А вот со словарным запасом порядок. Создается впечатление, будто нужно жить в России, чтобы подтянуть эти моменты. Те, кто усиленно учит английский или немецкий, обычно говорят чище как будто
amo anch'io parlare in italiano! c'e qualcosa della linqua che ha senso pure se mia lingua madre e inglese (americano). e come cantare mentre le altre lingue sono come borbotare 🤣auguri per la tua avventura linguistica!!
bon francais les gars bravo je ne parlerai pas des autres langues mais pour le français je suis époustouflé que des polyglottes ait autant de maitrise ne changez rien continué a regardé des serial (en francais on appelle ca des series télé ou series tv ou plus généralement simplement séries ) je me sens tout petit avec seulement mon fancais et mon anglais maintenant :)
As a french, i can tell u that the "Old guy" speak perfectly french. He's really impressive ! For the other guy, french is ok but lot of grammatical mistakes. But..i understand all of what he said !

The guest was having a fluent conversation and flowing through languages, I thought I was decent flowing through English and French but this guy is something else. His French accent is super cool sounds like the old Quebec accent.
You're totally right about his French! I was trying to figure out whom he was reminding me of when he was speaking French, and it was of a narrator or actor in older movies or series (dubbed ones included). 😃
Edit: I'm from Quebec.
Steve is friggin incredible! - Its not just that he speak a lot of langauges - there are people who speak, Italian, French, English - its that he speaks a lot of languages AND THE MOST DIFFICULT ONES - which are all different - Japanese, Chinese and Russian, are three of the four most difficult languages to speak for an English speaker. The man is incredible.
Estoy sorprendido con la fluidez que hablan, es el sueño de muchos de nosotros.
Du bist sehr toll, und danke für die Empfehlung von Extra, ich mag neues Serien um Deutsch zu lernen. Diese Polyglot videos sind meine Lieblings🙏🙏🙏
Really interesting to hear that ! It's truly impressive. I am french and i can say that you speak ever good ! Congratulations for all 😱.
What strikes me with both of them (compared to some of the other polyglot videos) is how good their pronunciation is (however, I can only judge German, English, French and Spanish).
their swedish pronounciation is great too
Very impressive! Great advice. The Extra programs you mentioned are great!
Ragazzi complimenti, italiano è perfetto e si capisce tutto.
Bonjour,votre français est excellent et continuez comme ça,c’est ma langue maternelle ici au Québec au Canada à Montréal et continuez comme ça 🙂🇨🇦
Respect and well done gents. I love languages. My mother tongue is Spanish but i also speak Italian, German, Hungarian (lived and was married to Hungarian) and now learning Lithuanian (married to Lithuanian).
Just amazing. I respect your respect for cultures.
Votre français est excellent !!! 👏🏼 👏🏼
Ps : et oui, on dit une « série » pas « serial » 😁
Bravo à vous deux ! ✨
Nice! As a german i can tell you, that both of you are doing a lot of mistakes in both pronounciation and from a grammatical standpoint, but i can definitely understand everything that you are trying to say. Still really good for seven languages
Will John ist ziemlich gut muss man sagen. Bei Steve stimm ich dir zu aber John spricht besser, als manche die Jahre in Deutschland leben.
Echt , so lustig du sagst gleich " you are both ""doing""" a lot of mistakes " .... lol , oh the irony ..lol... Back to English school for you mein freund !! hahahaha...
@@tombernard4612 1. He never claimed to be fluent.
2. His english is way better than your german.
@@Maxtherealone Du kannst mich mal " ....
@@tombernard4612 was sollen die drei Punkte und die Gänsefüßchen? 😂🤦♂️
KC for liiiife. I dont understand any of the languages except English, and Swahili(which you dont speak, but I incourage you should learn) I enjoyed your conversation. Keep it up bro. One love from Shawnee, KC.
Im learning swahili right now due to my gf, very nice language
Gentlemen, let's speak Kazakh. I think a lot of people ready to talk with you in Kazakh.))
Wow, ich bin beeindruckt!
Ich spreche leider "nur" Deutsch (Muttersprache), Englisch, einigermaßen gutes Schwedisch un ein bisschen Finnisch. Ich habe euer Schwedisch ganz gut verstanden. In der Schule habe ich Latein gelernt, konnte also ein bisschen Italiensich und Spanisch verstehen, Französisch aber weniger, weil die Aussprache einfach so anders ist. Von Russisch - und slavischen Sprachen allgemein - habe ich leider überhaupt keine Ahnung. Hättet ihr noch Finnisch geredet, wäre ich vom Stuhl gefallen :D Ich lerne es selbst gerade und weiß, dass es komplett anders ist, als die Sprachen, "die man halt so kennt", obwohl Finnland in Europa liegt.
Aaaaaaanyway, it was fun listening and it is very impressive how you two switched the languages immediately, very nice! :D
I really envy people like you! I just speak 3 languages counting on my mother tongue, but I forget words very quickly when I don't use a language. It's quite hard to get to that high level you have in so many languages.
Как же мило он говорит по русски!Я восхищаюсь людьми, которые в состоянии выучить русский язык, и то что они говорят с ошибками то это вообще пустяк!
Супер!
В 60 лет начать и так заговорить - это мощь и вдохновение молодёжи, которая ленится учить хотя бы второй язык!
Danke schön für dieses video
Es ist so cool, Polyglotte sprechen zu hören.
Steve kaufmann is literally everywhere!
I like him😂😂
Bravísimo Bro 👏👏👏. Muy buenos, interesantes y educativos el contenido de tus vídeos 😉💪. Continúa asi
Это очень круто, я впечатлён.
Я знаю английский и немного испанский, думал что больше трёх языков выучить не получится, но после данного видео мой мир никогда не будет прежним.

Congrats to both 💪🏻
Tu español es increíble quiero tu acento :D Le français est tellement dur à apprendre et l'accent c'est une autre histoire. J'ai beaucoup de respect pour les gens qui se lancent dans l'apprentissage de ma langue natale ! Bravo
You mentioned you play in Croatia? do you speak Croatian yet ? Which city do you live in? I moved to Hrvatska too a few years back, beautiful country isn't it =) Yet to learn the language though x)
Muchas Gracias Compa! Where did you move to in Croatia!? Check out the newest video on the channel to see all the crazy Croatian speaking. I love the language but wow ya for an English speaker it's all over the place haha. Still worth the effort 🙌
Mexican - American here, grew up in the States and lost most of my Spanish, but got back on it almost a year and a half ago. I'm in B2 of 🇲🇽 Spanish and learning 🇵🇭 Tagalog (Filipino) and say that I'm in C1.
Will John is a polyglot!!! So cool!!! The more you know
Truly, love this kind of videos. One day I will speak all these languages as well. 🙂
So crazy he was born on Lidingö, I was born there as well. It’s a suburb island outside of central Stockholm with a population of 50 thousand.
its interesting to see how german and swedish have the same flow as english (tho I don't speak them), and italian sounds similar to spanish.
In most cases, the reason for unsatisfactory results of learning a foreign language is a loss of interest in the student, or you have stopped at some stage of their training and began to "stomp in one place. Thus, the effort and time you have spent in the absence of new techniques will not allow progress in mastering the language. For example, if you spend your time and effort learning the alphabet for months on end, you will not learn to read, write, speak and understand the spoken and written language. Yuriy Ivantsiv in his book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language" writes that you should not selectively stop at one thing, and try to gradually move forward, without skipping anything and not jumping, developing all the necessary language skills for you proportionally. Only then will you get effective results. In your strategy for learning any information for you, including a foreign language, you should adhere to the following principle: you made a breakthrough - mastered the new information, then you need to take the time to consolidate the material and bring it to automaticity. The next step - learn new material and master it, and so on. "There are no secrets to success. It's the result of good preparation, hard work, and learning from your mistakes." Colin Powell. Many thanks to the author of the channel for the tremendous work in creating the instructional video. Thanks to such helpful videos, we have rapid progress in language learning.
Jag bara älskar detta, och är så avundsjuk!
Laoshu 2.0, i hope you also make Language Level Ups videos like him
Сколько полиглотов смотрел до этого. Почти все сыпались именно на русском языке. Еле выговаривали слова, и постоянно запинались. А тут прям свободный говор, вот это впечатляет.
You lived my dream. Speak very language is wonderful... You and Stfe.. my example 👌🏿
Steve’s Swedish is pretty good. Will’s Swedish is more rudimentary with more mistakes.
We call audiobooks ljudböcker in Sweden, hörböcker would be hearbooks.
0:42 He said "or if I've learnt it once again".
I'd love to see a video like this but where you mix all languages at random times.
He should have gotten a lost word in the end there.
Estuve muy feliz porque he estado aprendiendo español por un mes y yo entiendé ustedes conversación en español
These guys are incredible. Great video 👍🏾
Я понимаю ваш русский без проблем)
Есть акцент, но он мягко звучит. Самое главное, что понимаю о чем речь )

Their german can be worked on. But it good considering they speak 7 languages! Good luck toboth of you love from germany and egypt
Very good, yes they speak very basic, but they do it quite fluently, well done, I konw 5 languages and always admire to learn more and more languages. Ukrainian, Russian, Latvian, English and Spanish my 5 languages, but speak on all of them at advanced level.
Wow!! The great Laoshu would be proud.
Steve Kaufman is gold! ✨
Perfection is enemy of progression. Got it.
your are nice....great interview, i am feeling better after this video, thanks a lot
That's all that matters homie! Thanks for watching!
Love the content and your demeanor. I look forward to more posts. Cheers.
I m Ukrainian,but can speak Russiian like a native speaker,so i can say that when Will John said in russian: Хватит,хватит, конечно хватит. I was really surprised because itsnt have any accent,cool
Very Cool Polyglots !!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
leurs Francais est parfait !!!! bravo !
I speak german and italian , and you speak it very good my Respect

Yeah, Steve speaks Russian quite good. I am surprised by his pronunciation and vacabluary. His pronunciation is just amazing. Respect!
Да, немного лучше но акцент тоже огромный, не быть им шпионами в России. 😁
@@ВольдемарШаломов Интересно, с мог бы ли он сказать "дорога" 😆
С окончаниями чутка проблема, а так достаточно хорошо
Вообще заметный акцент в русском есть практически у всех иностранцев. Да и грамматика хромает сильно. А вот со словарным запасом порядок. Создается впечатление, будто нужно жить в России, чтобы подтянуть эти моменты. Те, кто усиленно учит английский или немецкий, обычно говорят чище как будто
it's really hard not to be jealous of this guy haha, muy bien tio
hi , i'm at 5 languages now, i will catch up in a couple of years . much love from tunisia
Impressionnant , Big up from France 🙂
Very very Impressive. Well done, guys!
amo anch'io parlare in italiano! c'e qualcosa della linqua che ha senso pure se mia lingua madre e inglese (americano). e come cantare mentre le altre lingue sono come borbotare 🤣auguri per la tua avventura linguistica!!
Franchement bravo pour toutes les langues que tu parles et que tu comprends je te félicite !! Et je te dis bonjour de la suisse ;)
I speak 4 languages (French-Russian - English and Moldavian).
But when I listen to you, I felt that I am a noob compared to you 😔😅
me encanta esta entrevista en varios idiomas and well i want to learn and speak as many languages as i can
Awesome stuff!
bon francais les gars bravo je ne parlerai pas des autres langues mais pour le français je suis époustouflé que des polyglottes ait autant de maitrise ne changez rien continué a regardé des serial (en francais on appelle ca des series télé ou series tv ou plus généralement simplement séries ) je me sens tout petit avec seulement mon fancais et mon anglais maintenant :)
As a french, i can tell u that the "Old guy" speak perfectly french. He's really impressive ! For the other guy, french is ok but lot of grammatical mistakes. But..i understand all of what he said !
