As a linguist, I always find it interesting to see people attack polyglots online. Most of the world sees bilingualism -- or multilingualism -- in black-and-white, but linguists view it simply as a spectrum. Since you can never know every lexical item, every syntactic rule, or every pragmatic nuance of a linguistic system, we have to view bi- or multilingualism as a process, not as a product. Lindie, maak jy geen sorg nie! Hierdie opmerke is nie baie belangrik nie.
damn i'm impressed!!! i'm an american trying to not die a monolingual and just learning korean is hard as hell, can't imagine piling on even one more language
+Michael Nell HI, I am Vietnamese, i am learning english, i want to improve my english speak fluently, english is my first second language, i admire you, you can study many language, you can study vietnamese by yourself, can you share to me? thank you so much.
+Lindie Botes I know I'm a year late haha but I was impressed by your Chinese! You made a couple of mistakes naturally, but especially for having only learned it for one year at that point, I feel like you did incredibly well with pronunciation. You'd give many of your non-native Chinese speaker colleagues a run for their money haha!
I'm also a year late, but thank you so much! You can see if I've improved at all if you click my username here - you'll see more language videos on my channel :D
I'm also a year late, but you've inspired me to become interested in languages and learn on my own! I used to think you had to take a class in a school if you wanted to learn a language, but you showed us that's definitely not the case.
@@mattatiasdermakkabaer7660 because other publications written or filmed discussing bilingualism have pointed out that it is a predominantly male demographic. Some have said "almost all polyglots are males", and some take that to mean that women are somehow biologically incapable of being polyglots. Having Lindie, especially at her age, is pretty important.😊
@@mattatiasdermakkabaer7660 Because *most women are only interested in languages and cultures that are already "similar" to their own. Women are less adventurous in learning something that has nothing to do with them* ; then you find women geniuses who take pride in learning out of their own box.
Global citizens! That's exactly how i feel! I'm not a polyglot though, only speaking english and dutch, practicing spanish (level 2) and Chinese (level 1) at the moment though.
I am trilingual and see myself as somewhat Russian. The hardest part is I am an American. Talk about feeling like an outsider in your own country. Let's just say my affinity for all things Russian isn't too popular back home.
Ya I have that feeling too. I'm Lebanese but because I speak Turkish and I'm so into their culture, I feel like I'm Turkish. It's really hard feeling that you don't belong to your own country
As a native Russian speaker I'm always happy when someone's interested in my culture and language. I'm thinking of making some online English speaking club sessions maybe since I'm currently studying to become a teacher of Russian to speakers of other languages.
HEy, Malaysian here!! To be honest, im impressed someone actually wants to learn our language. But please do come, and learn! I myslef have just started my journey on becoming a polyglot... isiZulu and Afrikaans are on the list :P
I'm 16 and really into languages. I love English since it's like a global tongue whic can make you connect with people all over the world. In addition to that I speak fluent Italian and Spanish, I'm studying German and I've just started learning Japanese Hiragana and basic grammar. By the end of college, so 4 or 5 years, I want to be fluent at least in these five languages. Is that a fair goal?
+Lee Morrow just the ones you've read in my ccoment. But I can't say I speak them. I'm kinda fluent in English and Spanish and I'm a native italian speaker. My German level is around A2 though not very high Also, kannst du wirklich gut Deutsch sprechen? Ich finde sehr interessant dass du selbst diese Sprache lernst!
+Lee Morrow Ein Jahr und eine Hälfte vielleicht? Aber Ich habe hauptsächlich in der Schule gelernt so ist meine Studie sehr leicht gewesen! Ich möchte wirklich mein Deutsch verbessern und ich werde es versuchen :) Wie hast du Deutsch gelernt?
+Lee Morrow Vielen Dank aber du bist zu nett haha. Ich versichere dir dass ich nicht ziemlich schlecht Deutsch spreche. So wie so hast du mir eigentlich überracht. Dein Deutsch scheint perfekt ;)
i speak korean and i am learning Arabic now. I just can't imagine being trapped in speaking 1 language forever . ( even tho i already speak 4😅). i adore polyglots like you and it was quiet surprising to know that u've lived in my country . Just wanted to say that you're always welcomed back in Paksitan💚 much love.
finally a female polyglot interview. your korean pronunciation is very very good. I can't comment on the others hahaha just the Korean. You are definitely and inspiration for an aspiring polyglot like myself.
Bonjour , lindie botes , fascinante , c'est le moins qu'on peut dire ,je parle français et arabe et je souhaite devenir fluente en anglais , si sa te dit on peut communiquer par skype , imo ou autres . immane75@yahoo.fr
Very nice and inspiring video :) I also speak some foreign languages but I need time to get fluent in. My video is a bit shorter but I would like to make a better one where I talk a bit more. Your video was great and you showed us well the knowledge of your foreign languages! Keep it going!
ahhh so cool! >u< im trying to learn korean arabic and spanish right now but mandarin and japanese are next, she is so lucky to have such a talent for this :3 린디 화이팅!! >w
Hey, Lindie! I totally support your passion! :) Don't you mind if I ask you for some help in the future? As a language-lover myself, I would like your insight on Chinese and Japonese for my 1-year long project where I spend 2 weeks in each of 26 languages on my "itinerary" to discover what they are about, how they shape us and post about it. Is it OK if ask you some questions when I get to Chinese and Japonese (like in 4 months)?
+aliNka mia Hey, this isn't my channel so sorry for only seeing this now. You're welcome to send me a message on my channel (linked to this account). I'd be glad to help!
I come from Slovenia, so I speak Slovenian, which is one of the south Slavic languages. But my mother's tongue is actually a special dialect of the Slovenian language, which is spoken mostly in the northeastern part of the country and is quite different from the standard language. I also understand Serbo-Croatian, Czech and Slovak, because they are very similar to Slovenian. I started learning English and German in primary school and I speak both languages fluently. I also understand Hungarian and now I'm learning Swedish. I have my relatives who live in Sweden and I can learn quite a lot from them.
I am learning german in school and Italian at home. in the summer holidays (6 weeks) i am going to try and learn Russian and be as fluent as I can. is this achievable
Chemiker30 99 well that's 0.5 more than me... I'm half way for Japanese but I can't get a proper teacher so I'm just making it through slowly with self-learn
I'm also trying to become a polyglot,but I'll never be a global citizen. No way! In any case, this girl is much cooler than I am,because I learn only European languages...It would be amazing to meet her in real life,because I've never seen a person who speaks so many Asian languages at the same time.
I just couldn't be studying 3-4 languages at the same time i would argue it would be better to learn them one at a time and take the time to master your knowledge at a level where you can easily read books and stuff. I'm a french speaker, i've learn english in school and studied german all by myself and after 3 years now i read 18-19 century and old german poetry so i began to learn Japanese and made nice progress. If you forget everything at the end because you don't use it, it was not worth the time you put into it.
I wish I was as fluent as you are in all those languages! In my video you can see that I still have to improve a bit my foreign languages... But it's a passion to learn languages, right? I wish you all the best
My goal is to become a polyglot, i speak English and Spanish the best of all my languages, next is Hungarian (which i'm learning from my stepdad, he grew up speaking it). Then ASL, it's hard but it's also really fun to learn. I can only sound out korean but i'm so interested in it and i'm really eager to learn!
gas chamber fixer ...deaf people. I definitely have deaf friends who know asl. it has a grammar and sentence structure completely seperate from English. therefore it is a language.
As a Hungarian I can tell how hard to learn our language even if you are native speaker, so I respect that a lot! Outside of Hungarian I can speak English, but I often make grammar mistakes. I should practice speaking not just listening. :D Now I'm learning Korean, I really like it because it does not feel like learning at all, it is so much fun!
Hi Lindie. Ek is van Kaapstad Suid Afrika. I live in the U.S now. Yo aprendiendo español ahora. Ik ben ook leren spreken, lezen en Nederlands en het mijn vierde taal te maken. Deutsch ist einfacher, als Holländer für mich.
OMG she is speaking Bahasa Indonesia !! That's my mother tongue, hell yeah...I wanna be a polyglot. I'm learning German, Spanish and Italian I hope I can speak fluently at those languages.
How does one get an interview to get their name out there? I am currently a 42 language hyperglot trying to get my name out there, not for fame, but to test my multilingualism on a professional level.
Drigger95 Even if we were, why would we make something like that up? Where would I come up with the number 42? I actually know over 50 languages, but I'm trying to be modest.
Drigger95 Well, I just graduated with a degree in three languages(Spanish, German, and Japanese), but now I'm pursuing my childhood dreams of being an astronomer and chemist. Learning foreign languages is like doing a crossword puzzle for me now.
she is more into asian languages, in the southeast and the northern i think... i am into european languages mostly, asian language i like is limited to japanese but i guess that might change.. this is just amazing
I don't see how you can learn so many diverse languages without immersion in those languages and cultures. I had 3 years of French in high school, and can just speak a bit. I'm conversational in Spanish. Nihongo ga dekimasu. Anata no gengo ni saino ga sugoi da to omou ne.
Maybe your teacher wasn't that good...If you are really motivated in learning French, you would try all you can in watching French TV, getting French friends and stuff like that...Learing any language calls for these basics...Go on with your French, it is a fascinating language and very rich. Remember that for sometime it has been the "lingua franca" in Europe before English became the new lingua franca in the world... Now it seems that Chinese is becoming more important than ever, coming to a close third position, if I am not wrong??
i can speak italian (my native) and english, i can speak it quite fluently but i have to improve somethings Okay i've started learning korean,chinese,spanish and thai few months ago
+Birane Sarr korean is easier for writing. slightly difficult to speak depending on your exposure and proximity to the language. chinese is difficult for writing and speaking because it's tonal
Birane Sarr But there is no definitive answer, it's down to everyone's opinion. Asian English speaker, i find speaking German easy, but korean would be quite hard.
+Erick Ufiop Have a look at Hello Pal on Android Play Store or iOS App Store. It is a free social language exchange app where you can practice your English :) -- Hello Pal
+Mauricio Montenegro You possibly speak them better than most polyglots speak the many languages they like to boast about. The truth is most polyglots speak some of the languages on a native level, these are mostly three or four. The others get a little rusty over time and need to be refreshed when they prepare to have conversations in these languages. Ich spreche übrigens auch Deutsch als Muttersprache. Ich bin immer geschmeichelt, wenn jemand meine Sprache lernt, insbesondere da sie ja immer als so hart und hässlich angesehen wird. ^^
Okay. I have a question. So I want to know what type of Arabic should I learn to read Quran (holy book of Muslims) I know for Thora it's just Hebrew and for Bible is Latin or Greek. For Quran it's Arabic but which one?
ñuhor līr gūrēnna As ha utsaryu sa'agh there is only one arabic and it is the language of Quran the difference in Arabic countries is just accents if you want to learn i can help you as a Native speaker
At that time I had only been learning for a few months, and I only hear two small mistakes now that I watch it again. Don't be negative! If you want to see an updated video, check out my channel.
+Soy Waz Do people have to learn Spanish? If you learn languages as a hobby I don't see the point of learning one you're not interested in. I speak 5 languages and none of them are Spanish.
+Soy Waz Please, we have enough ethnocentric Americans and Brits saying "English is the bestest language and the hardest ever" as it is. You don't need to compete with them.
Le français est très basic...Chinese as well...Your Chinese is very basic and so is your Japanese...Your hearing is good though and all you need is practice practice and practice. You shouls maybe choose languages that are more essentiaml to you and then concentrate on those languages..This is jus a suggestion...
That makes me feel a little better here I am trying to learn three languages and she just goes on in about in half a dozen. Then again my French is très très basic but it's pretty good considering I've only been learning it for a month and a half.
OK, if your French is only a trhee-month-bvaby then it is pretty good... As said, maybe you should focus on languages that are more useful to you should you choose to work as a translator or interpreter... Asian languages are coming up so picking up Chinese is a good option along with English and French; Japanese could also be one or even Russian as I see the future could be somewhere there as well.... Good luck in your studies
Leonardo Castro That's so true. It's way faster to reach a basic conversational level than to move on from that to advanced/fluent. And yeah my goals arent to be fluent in every single language but just to enjoy myself as this is a side hobby from my actual degree of graphic design. Thanks for the comments!
This video was very cleanly made. I would love to see more 'Portrait of a Polyglot' videos with other polyglots. Very very well done. :D

+soffer Good luck with learning Korean! Thanks for the comment. This isn't my channel so I don't always see the comments, haha.
Well, to be fair, you're learning Korean at an older age and it is also not even related to English. Don't doubt yourself, though, you can do it.
Loved every second of the video! Great job, you guys.
This video is almost 6 years ago, so her ability of each language has improved so much than this.
thanks for inspired us !!
great vdo as usual.

Her Mandarin, Korean and Japanese accents are fairly natural.

The last tidbit at the end surprised me. Only 19 at the time of this video, and know this many languages?
Wat?? Quite amazing.
I speak North American (USA)English, Southern English, West coast English, but not good at Boston/Philly, NY. : ) !
This is so inspiring and well made. Thank you
I'm just happy to see a female polyglot!
Why does her sex matter?

There´s no such thing as global citizens. That´s beyond offensive, you´re reducing people to only their languages.

Justin Davis I don't speak Russian (yet), but I'm in the same boat, and I know others that are as well.
I thought I was the only one. It's so weird how we all feel the same way
Are you from Russia? Is that where your family is from? If not then you are not Russian.

It doesn’t have to be a ‘dream’ make it your life (wow i sounded so motivational haha)
Just amazing..
Great story! Being a polyglot ifs being a citizen of the world.

Birane Sarr But there is no definitive answer, it's down to everyone's opinion. Asian English speaker, i find speaking German easy, but korean would be quite hard.
Hey, het jy nie die Afrikaans flik vir wikitongues gemaak nie?
You might be right.

Korea is the best, great you want to live there
I'm a polyglot too. I know English (level 1000)
I guess the only language I can practice with you, is English, because I don't speak the other languages, but I speak Spanish and German.
+Mauricio Montenegro You possibly speak them better than most polyglots speak the many languages they like to boast about. The truth is most polyglots speak some of the languages on a native level, these are mostly three or four. The others get a little rusty over time and need to be refreshed when they prepare to have conversations in these languages.
Ich spreche übrigens auch Deutsch als Muttersprache. Ich bin immer geschmeichelt, wenn jemand meine Sprache lernt, insbesondere da sie ja immer als so hart und hässlich angesehen wird. ^^
that afrikaans is dutch brah, it sounds dutch with a strange accent I speak dutch too I know this
are you saying that speaking Dutch you can understand Afrikaans? :O
fuck yes m8

Okay. I have a question. So I want to know what type of Arabic should I learn to read Quran (holy book of Muslims) I know for Thora it's just Hebrew and for Bible is Latin or Greek. For Quran it's Arabic but which one?
there is only one arabic and it is the language of Quran the difference in Arabic countries is just accents

Lindie Botes lol I attempted to say you can take pride in your korean =(
Oh haha thanks ;;; :D
Why she no learn Spanish?
+Soy Waz Do people have to learn Spanish? If you learn languages as a hobby I don't see the point of learning one you're not interested in. I speak 5 languages and none of them are Spanish.
Learn Spanish because it is the best language
+Soy Waz lol there's no such thing as a "best language" that's bullshit.
yes there is because Spanish is the best
+Soy Waz
Please, we have enough ethnocentric Americans and Brits saying "English is the bestest language and the hardest ever" as it is. You don't need to compete with them.
nice, a woman.
Never seen one of those before right?
Why are polyglots always nerds? Why Charlie Sheen type of people go monolingual? (I'm monolingual BTW)
I'm a polyglot (5 languages + 2 learning). And I'm pretty sure no one would call me a nerd.
You can take seven languages, you sure can take one joke.

not always true ;)
didn't watch. did neg.
Le français est très basic...Chinese as well...Your Chinese is very basic and so is your Japanese...Your hearing is good though and all you need is practice practice and practice. You shouls maybe choose languages that are more essentiaml to you and then concentrate on those languages..This is jus a suggestion...
That makes me feel a little better here I am trying to learn three languages and she just goes on in about in half a dozen. Then again my French is très très basic but it's pretty good considering I've only been learning it for a month and a half.
OK, if your French is only a trhee-month-bvaby then it is pretty good... As said, maybe you should focus on languages that are more useful to you should you choose to work as a translator or interpreter... Asian languages are coming up so picking up Chinese is a good option along with English and French; Japanese could also be one or even Russian as I see the future could be somewhere there as well.... Good luck in your studies
Leonardo Castro That's so true. It's way faster to reach a basic conversational level than to move on from that to advanced/fluent. And yeah my goals arent to be fluent in every single language but just to enjoy myself as this is a side hobby from my actual degree of graphic design. Thanks for the comments!
JAGE MIDU You don't speak very well either.
Gokuw Sweg How do you know.....??? Have you heard me speak...??
She is not really fluent in some of them.
your French sounds perfect.. i like you and your languages as well,
