Hello
There,
Wow, since
a long time I do not have a time to write something here, but it does not
matter, because in this post I decided to share a video of mine speaking some
languages. As you will see I am “rust” in some of them. It is not very
difficult to learn several languages, but it is really quite hard to keep them
all at the same level. Fortunately I am a language teacher and maintain a language
school in Brazil, so for me some of them I can keep updated.
Some people
have said and asked why I did not put them together in a flow. I really know
that some internet polyglots can deal with this easily, but I CANNOT, I really
need at least 5 minutes to “turn off” a
language and “tune in” another one. If I do not do this I will do some unpleasant
mixtures like “Spanglish”, “Portuñol” , “Franglais” and so on, But many of them
were recorded in the same day except Dutch, this one was recorded when I
finished I “challenge” to learn it in only 3 months, and as I supposed despite of
having learnt a lot, I lost the “flow” and it will require more than 5 minutes
(maybe a week to review it).
So, I will categorically
state that: “It is not hard to learn a foreign language, neither several of
them, but it is absolutely hard to maintain them all” so I hardly believe that
I polyglot can really maintain a reasonable high level of more than 15
languages, like stated by the former Guinness Book of World Records Ziad Fazah.
He is now known as the man who does NOT know 59 languages. I will after write
more about him, but I truly believe him,
maybe he has studied 59 languages but it is a huge amount of information
to keep updated, even if you dedicate your whole time on this subject.
So, let´s
go to my videos:
I made two
versions one with English subtitles and the second with Portuguese subtitle, so
enjoy them. And fell free to comment and subscribe my YouTube channel and this
website.
