About Viggo's spanish. He speaks perfect spanish, most of the time with an argentinian accent. So well, that you couldn't tell he is not argentine at all. I'm from Buenos Aires and I had the opportunity to speak a little bit with him, and believe me; he's one of us, it's imposible to guess he's not, no doubt about it. In this case, he puts on a spanish accent because it fits better with what he's reading.
Having "Aragorn" relate a historical account of my own country in two languages has been way too surreal for words. Incluso, debo admitir que me gustó más como lo leyó en español. Estuvo increíble!
Viggo could read the phone book in Spanish, and it would sound good, but this reading from Zinn's very important book is just remarkable. THanks for posting this!
HI IM from Argentina, He born in Denmark, and he grow up in My country, but he's speaking in a Spanish acent cause Bartolomé de Las casa was from Spain. he's trying to imitate that acent. But He speak in a perfect argentinan acent. Saludos!
I agree... A very important reading in any language, I also love to hear Viggo speaking Spanish and am attempting to learn the language myself in my old age, he is the greatest actor, he is everything!! What a renaissance man!!
Viggo, tu español es perfecto. Enhorabuena. Enseño literatura, me encanta Alatriste y sólo me faltaba escucharte leer tan bien el texto del padre Bartolomé de las Casas. Me deja sin palabras este hombre!!
I really appreciate how the pitch of his voice sounds different when he starts speaking Spanish. You can tell he really knows his stuff. He's speaking old Spanish yet his accent and tone is perfect!
Viggo goes from one accent to another, from one language to another, amazing! This was incredibly hard to hear, heartbreaking in fact. Esperemos que algun dia nos devuelvan el oro de nuestros indegenas por lo menos!
For those of you who don't speak spanish, he usually speaks spanish with an argentinian accent.but, on this lecture he is speaking with a perfect european spanish accent... not an easy task.
He speaks perfect Castillian Spanish like a Spaniard, but I know that he originally learned in Argentina. He has no accent, like me. I have one, but it's a kind that can't easily determine from where in the world. Most people in Spain, tend to forget that I have an accent. He's one that can't help but admire, because so extremely multitalented and an intellectual. He's extremely intelligent in my favorite ways, the depths necessary to be, similar to my mother's home growing up, which are my roots, no matter if he makes a living the best, as an actor. A very good actor too. If my mother would have been allowed to be an actress? OMG Oscar winning movies. Her father could get away with being an artist, even if from a noble family, but not her in those times in Spain, and how she was being raised before her father died. The fact that able to also be so sociable, is just an added plus. That same stigma existed about me too, no matter if I was being raised in the US population. I'm like a crazy artist, but never was allowed to be, because my mother just mentally passed that same way about it all to me. My type of life in Spain, just reinforced it, did the same way. It's a block. My mother used to write beautiful poetry and prose, but block about having anything published. She's very artistically inclined, but ended up in a profession of science and medicine. Masters in nursing, and professor of nursing and midwifery, spoke six languages. Spanish, French, English, Portuguese, Italian and German. She now has serious dementia. Life is a tragedy. Una tragicomedia. I see too much the global big picture truth. Will God even really bother to save it all. I hope so, but we also do live under universal deceit in the world. Illuminated mind parameters I'm in total awareness of that the same way as on the planet. A force that wants me to be just another what I don't want to be in the world. Some kind of martyr. I do have my own free will, no matter how much I see what can be done to others. Enslavement by other human beings, or by godlike beings in outer space, wtf difference does it make, yet the latter gave me the gift to see that. Must be The Annunaki of The Epic of Gilgamesh. So I have a name that fits in accordance with that kind too. It's ALL crazy.
Mortensen born NYC - American mother & Danish father. Family moved to Venezuela, Argentina & Denmark, settling in Argentina. He learned Spanish. When he was 11, his parents divorced. He moved with his father to Copenhagen. Mortensen & his father eventually went back to the U.S. After high school, he returned to Denmark before again returning to the United States to pursue an acting career. He attended St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, earning a bachelor's degree in Spanish.
I totally am blown away by him and have been watching several videos ever since I first heard his quite amazing linguistic coolness. Academic point: he's got a natural Argentinian accent, usually. Here, he's speaking a rendition of Castellano, or what people have been calling "Castilian Spanish." The Spanish from Columbus's time was a much different, mixed up Spanish that would have been pronounced totally differently.
He does not have an argentinian accent at all nor venezuelian in this public reading video. How come is he reading with his partner's accent? It sounds so fake.
Some elements of his Latin American background come through in his diction, but overall he is speaking here in a CONTEMPORARY and accurately pronounced--if a bit stilted--Spanish. He does live in Madrid, and as a gifted multi-lingual person, there is no reason to accuse him of affectation.
Pues el otro día Viggo habló en catalán durante el Festival de Sitges (el momento está en youtube). Este hombre siente más respeto y admiración por el catalán que muchos españoles. Una lección más de Viggo.
He still has a house in Madrid, from what I heard. I think his best friends are also Madrileños, so I guess he's probably spent more time in Spain than Argentina. Pero, definitivamente él suena como un verdadero gato.
Cassandra Siraganda That´s fake And what about the British and American massacres on the Indians? At least the Spanish married and mingled with the Indians. Since the Spanish had a religion professed by the universal god. While the Anglo-Saxons believed themselves to be God's chosen ones, they killed the Indians in North America. Bartolome de las Casas was a slave owner. This friar proposed to replace the natives with black slaves. Apart from him In 1543 he was appointed Bishop of Chiapas but the rigorous moral demands of him provided him with the hostilities of some Indians. There were indigenous people who turned against him. I heard it from a historian named María Saavedra. In her books Indigenism and Evangelization: The First Expansion of Christianity in America. And also in her other book The Forging of the New World: Traces of the Church in America "...
I'm having a little trouble taking your comment seriously. I'm from Dominican Republic (aka La Hispaniola) and my family dates back to hundreds of years. I can tell you, first hand, that there are no natives on this island and all we have left of the Tainos are a few caves dwellings and some trinkets. That's so sad considering they once inhabited every corner of this island. And by the way, I've known since effing grade school that the Spaniards were responsible for their *mass* extinction
Estoy sorprendido tanto con su dominio del español, como con su habilidad de hablar con un acento apropiado para la epoca de las escrituras que esta leyendo.
"English was his first language", excuse me? He grew up with both english (mother and danish (father) and speaks both languages fluently. His spanish is extremely good! Way to go Viggo!
Negative comments about his Spanish on this thread display all kinds of ignorance. For anyone who is at least minimally familiar with Spanish as it is spoken in most of Spain, and how it contrasts with the many accents of Latin America, Mr. Mortensen's accent is studiously proper and contemporary.
My reply was for someone who claimed our accent (Spain's, the original accent) is awful, so I replied it's none of their business as they don't speak like us in the American Spanish speaking countries. And it's a fact their usage of verb tenses is a lot more simplified, just an example of different usages in grammar. As for accents, if you're unaware that there are different accents in the different Spanish speaking countries... what can I say? It's not a secret.
@El7IncA a lot of Native people in the Caribean Island? the first inhabitants were an ethnic call Tainos and up today probably there are not more than 500 in a total population in dominican republic of 9.5 millions (roughly) , so can you explain that? also in southamerica for example Uruguay the spaniard killed sistematically the only known tribes in that region that were call "charruas" therefore there is not remaining of Charruas Culture.
He lived in Argentina when he was a child. He's preserved his Argentinian accent but not this time. He's speaking with accent from Spain, the same as when he played the role of Capitán Alatriste.
llevamos años y años pidiendo perdón, ¡qué más tenemos que hacer!, Digan! Nuestros antepasados hicieron cosas horribles, terribles, realmente ESPANTOSAS! ...Gracias Sr. mortensen por recordarlo de nuevo.Qúe no se olvide nunca! No merecemos perdón alguno, nunca ! JAMAS!, Volvamos a instigar el odio, que crezca de nuevo, si todavía queda alguien sin odio, que empiece ahora a generarlo, Muchas gracias, Sr Mortensen y compañia!
his spanish is perfect. He said, he grew up in Argentina, here he reads with an spanish accent, but he actually speaks with an argentinian accent. Love it!
@PHANTOMSLAYER77 Well...Viggo is speaking Spanish in this video right now, isn't he? And guess what, HE'S AMERICAN! I am American as well, and I speak Spanish, French and Polish. Some fit your stereotype, yes, but a lot of Americans can speak more than one language and are very culturally and socially aware.
@mejsjalv Te encuentro toda la razón hermano, qué lastima que la gente e Latinoamerica culpe a España por lo que pasó hace 500 años, siendo que España nos dejó una cultura muy rica y bonita.
@musedoom Viendo el video de Vigo leyendo espanol quede maravillado lo habla muy bien. A proposito del comentario de Musedoom, yo soy desendiente de esos tainos asesinados y masacrados en la Hispaniola que gracias a dios ya no se llama asi. Ahorra es Republica Dominicana y Haiti. El nombre original Taino es Quisquella. Y es mentira amigo los tainos no eran crueles para nada , eran pacificos inosentes si se puede decir, la palabra Taino significa "Mansos" los canibales eran los Caribes.
some people got lucky and were discovered by spaniards.. then got treated like shit for some time but never got considered animals, or hunting trophies. Instead they were baptised and taught not to eat your ennemy or sacrifice kids. Others met the british and in a record time disappeared. call spaniards racists and go see how many cherokees are called mr smith.
What are YOU talking about? Don't preach me I'm a native speaker and fyi there's more than 300 million Spanish speakers in America (the continent). Less than 50 million in Europe. Which doesn't mean we speak the same way. Most of those authors you mentioned are dead so I don't think they'll say anything.
En Hispanoamérica la sangre indígena no ha desaparecido. Sin embargo ¿que ha pasado en Norte América?. Un ejemplo claro de esto fue Florida. Hasta que se mantuvo en poder de los españoles se mantuvieron las poblaciones indígenas, pero cuando pasó a manos estadounidenses se acabó todo. Dejen de atacar a España. Los españoles cometieron abusos que eran normales en esa época. Sin embargo fué poca cosa comparado con lo que hicieron los británicos y los estadounidenses en Norteamérica.
mas de la mitad del territorio de estados unidos pertenecio a españa, todo el territorio que los ingleses descubrieron por el mundo, se encontraban con que antes ya fue descubierto y conquistado por los españoles, por ejmplo, australia. ¡¡ via españa !!
¿Y tú qué sabes, si no has puesto un pie en España en tu vida? ¿Tanto necesitas tener a alguien que odiar? Te diré lo que no tenemos en España. Ciudad Juárez y mujeres muertas a docenas sin que nadie se moleste en pararlo.
CALL THEM SPANIARS OR EUROPEANS, THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME, WHITE PEOPLE!! QUESTION? THE CRIMES THAT THEIR FOREFATHERS DID TO MY PEOPLE, SHOULD THEIR CHILDREN THAT ARE RULING OVER MY PEOPLE TODAY IN ALL THE AMERICAS, SHOULD THEY BE PUNISH FOR THE CRIMES OF THEIR FATHERS?? YOU MAY SAY, WELL, THEIR FATHERS DID IT NOT THEM. WELL LET'S FIND OUT WHAT THE GOD OF THE BIBLE GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT; ISAIAH 14:21.............
+Tazaraw and what were the anti-racists, people like Las Casas himself, if not white, dumbass? only a small number of whites did those things, what about the descendants of those who didn t do anything. you misunderstood Isaiah. it means that, because in the area the Israelites were to occupy, the people(parents) were pagan and doing bad things, because they brought up their children to be just like them, the children who were too old to adopt new ways were to be killed too. it has nothing to do with black people, slavery, or descendants and their punishment. i am white, but i am Romanian, we never mistreated black people or Indians in any way. why should a Romanian American pay for something his ancestors didn t even do. your logic is retarded.
The 12 tribes of Israel have been in captivity under every nation on earth, including in this last days, there is nothing new under the sun Ecclesiastes 1:9. But the multitude of the 12 tribes of Israel are in captivity in all the Americas under the so-cal White Man. Now here's what the Lord said is gonna happen to the white man and all the other nation including yours. Rev. 13:9-10. "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword." Now read Rev.18:6, Ger.3o:16.
It is a travesty that the pope gave them permission to do this. The catholic church just dismisses these accounts by saying that some of the previous popes did horrible things not so different then other world leaders.
Wow, that is false. Indigenous peoples are highly discriminated in South America. They are treated as second class citizens, except for maybe the few countries where they are still the majority like Bolivia.
@elvispereyra Los ingleses eran mas civilizados porque masacraban a los indios?. O sea, entonces masacrar no es cruel, siempre que se haga con estilo, como lo hacian los ingleses, no? Eso quieres decir?
Señora, no señor. Lee el mensaje weetabix sobre el "horrible acento" de España a eso me refería. Si realmentes has vivido en Madrid y en Asturias y no eres capaz de distinguir esos acentos del de Méjico, qué quieres que te diga. No hay nada que discutir. Y por más que en Canarias o Andalucía seseen y aspiren las eses, como hacen en América, si crees que eso implica que son acentos parecidos, es que no tienes un oído muy fino.
Another curse; vs.68.... Year 1619.. "And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt (Bondage-Ex.20:2) again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: (Never to see our land Israel again) and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies (White Race) for bondmen and bondwomen, (Slaves) and no man shall buy you." (Meaning save) because the Most High did this to us for breaking his LAWS..

Thank you for this : )
his voice is really beautiful and it sounds even better speaking spanish
They say the Taino are extinct, WE are not extinct, WE may be assimilated but we are here.
I enjoy the look on people's faces when I tell them the Taino are not extinct.
I'm happy for you

Just love when he speak Spanish. Can't understand a word, but it sounds beautiful. Thank you very much, Viggo.
Viggo, tu español es perfecto. Enhorabuena. Enseño literatura, me encanta Alatriste y sólo me faltaba escucharte leer tan bien el texto del padre Bartolomé de las Casas.
Me deja sin palabras este hombre!!
I really appreciate how the pitch of his voice sounds different when he starts speaking Spanish. You can tell he really knows his stuff. He's speaking old Spanish yet his accent and tone is perfect!
Hmm, maybe he is from Spain, don’t they all talk like that
Viggo goes from one accent to another, from one language to another, amazing! This was incredibly hard to hear, heartbreaking in fact. Esperemos que algun dia nos devuelvan el oro de nuestros indegenas por lo menos!
I may not understand much of what he said in Spanish, but the way he talk when talking Spanish just makes my heart giddy. The end was priceless! ;3
For those of you who don't speak spanish, he usually speaks spanish with an argentinian accent.but, on this lecture he is speaking with a perfect european spanish accent... not an easy task.
He speaks better Spanish than I...lol.....He speaks spanish like a Spaniard.....you go Viggo! :)
Impresionante, Viggo. Me faltaba oírlo leer un clásico en castellano. ¡Es perfecto!
viva Viggo!
Amazing, sad and forgotten passage of the History of the true Americans.
Wow, cuantos idiomas habla Viggo fluentes? Frances, español, danes, sueco inglés…etc, etc
I could listen to him all day!!
He speaks perfect Castillian Spanish like a Spaniard, but I know that he originally learned in Argentina. He has no accent, like me.

Important in all languages!

Viggo is great...
I just found a whole new respect for Viggo. I love to find A list actors speak different languages perfectly.
bruh
love Viggo-he's a loveable American and he appreciates our freedom to dissent.
que divina manera de poder hablar español con acento de argentina y castellano de este actor, es increible!
first time wikipedia hasn't lied! his Spanish is so amazing. sounds native.
OMG...... his voice is enough but in spanish too, my heart flutters bad.
glorioso.
Incredible Spanish ! Bravo !
I totally am blown away by him and have been watching several videos ever since I first heard his quite amazing linguistic coolness. Academic point: he's got a natural Argentinian accent, usually.

Viggo:you are something else,I'm also a "mate" fanatic,can't pass one day without it.What's your favorite "yerba brand"?
Some elements of his Latin American background come through in his diction, but overall he is speaking here in a CONTEMPORARY and accurately pronounced--if a bit stilted--Spanish. He does live in Madrid, and as a gifted multi-lingual person, there is no reason to accuse him of affectation.

He speaks the perfect spanish. Awesome.
He still has a house in Madrid, from what I heard. I think his best friends are also Madrileños, so I guess he's probably spent more time in Spain than Argentina. Pero, definitivamente él suena como un verdadero gato.
ME ENCANTA SU ESPANOL!!!! Deseo que seria tan buena.......tengo envidia.
Gracias..

Aragorn!!!!!!!!!... sensishito y carismático viste ;)
dam his spanish is perfect. no wonder they got him for Alatriste.
His natural accent is argentine, but here his Spain's accent is flawless. Trust me, I know. I pay a lot of attention to diction.
@El7IncA a lot of Native people in the Caribean Island? the first inhabitants were an ethnic call Tainos and up today probably there are not more than 500 in a total population in dominican republic of 9.5 millions (roughly) , so can you explain that? also in southamerica for example Uruguay the spaniard killed sistematically the only known tribes in that region that were call "charruas" therefore there is not remaining of Charruas Culture.
wow!!! He's good at spanish!!!
He lived in Argentina when he was a child. He's preserved his Argentinian accent but not this time. He's speaking with accent from Spain, the same as when he played the role of Capitán Alatriste.

@senzafinee yeah, apparently he's multilingual. I heard about this last night and had to see it.
changed my view of him. go Viggo!
I don't know if he lived in Spain, but he lived in Argentina for several years when he was a kid.
Wow!! Habla en español con acento español!!!
@mozmex Now that I could understand...Thanks Mozmex for the clarification.
Nice.
@strokesfan1107 it changed my view of him too, such a good spanish somehow doesn't match him! now i love him even more :)
:O i love him :D habla buenissimo el español
@mejsjalv Te encuentro toda la razón hermano, qué lastima que la gente e Latinoamerica culpe a España por lo que pasó hace 500 años, siendo que España nos dejó una cultura muy rica y bonita.
VIGGO TE AMO
@razzg He can speak spanish because he grew up in Argentina
de nada!
I thought he only spoke with the Argentine accent. Here he uses the accent from Spain. Good for him!!!!
O_O ....whoa....
viggo mortensen lee mejor en español que muchos que presumen.
@musedoom Viendo el video de Vigo leyendo espanol quede maravillado lo habla muy bien. A proposito del comentario de Musedoom, yo soy desendiente de esos tainos asesinados y masacrados en la Hispaniola que gracias a dios ya no se llama asi. Ahorra es Republica Dominicana y Haiti.

Native to Spain, that's what I meant. Argentine don't have this accent.
que fácil es juzgar épocas pasadas con nuestra mentalidad actual!
Si estamos a que los Tianos
This is important. This primary source is 500 years old...and tells us how bad his contemporaries behaved.
some people got lucky and were discovered by spaniards.. then got treated like shit for some time but never got considered animals, or hunting trophies. Instead they were baptised and taught not to eat your ennemy or sacrifice kids.
Others met the british and in a record time disappeared.
call spaniards racists and go see how many cherokees are called mr smith.
Porque a mí no se me ha perdido nada en México. Yo me encargo de los problemas de mi casa, los demás que hagan lo mismo.

He spent is childhood in Argentina.
mas de la mitad del territorio de estados unidos pertenecio a españa, todo el territorio que los ingleses descubrieron por el mundo, se encontraban con que antes ya fue descubierto y conquistado por los españoles, por ejmplo, australia. ¡¡ via españa !!
What happened to his Argentine accent?
Ese no es su acento normal, normalmente habla con un acento Argentino...
Why is he talking like he's from Malaga or Huelva? Is there evidence that Spanish in the 15th and 16th centuries sounded like that?
@Nazgul001 Its now part of the US Empire. CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP

Now here's what the Lord said is gonna happen to the white man and all the other nation including yours. Rev. 13:9-10. "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword." Now read Rev.18:6, Ger.3o:16.
Pero no esta hablando en catalan, es castellano.
It is a travesty that the pope gave them permission to do this. The catholic church just dismisses these accounts by saying that some of the previous popes did horrible things not so different then other world leaders.
Wow, that is false. Indigenous peoples are highly discriminated in South America. They are treated as second class citizens, except for maybe the few countries where they are still the majority like Bolivia.
@elvispereyra Los ingleses eran mas civilizados porque masacraban a los indios?. O sea, entonces masacrar no es cruel, siempre que se haga con estilo, como lo hacian los ingleses, no? Eso quieres decir?
@Mongoose2210 it sounds pretentious because it's ancient spanish, from the sixteenth century; spanish people don't talk like that now ;)
Señora, no señor.
Lee el mensaje weetabix sobre el "horrible acento" de España a eso me refería. Si realmentes has vivido en Madrid y en Asturias y no eres capaz de distinguir esos acentos del de Méjico, qué quieres que te diga. No hay nada que discutir. Y por más que en Canarias o Andalucía seseen y aspiren las eses, como hacen en América, si crees que eso implica que son acentos parecidos, es que no tienes un oído muy fino.
Another curse; vs.68.... Year 1619.. "And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt (Bondage-Ex.20:2) again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: (Never to see our land Israel again) and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies (White Race) for bondmen and bondwomen, (Slaves) and no man shall buy you." (Meaning save) because the Most High did this to us for breaking his LAWS..
