Polyglot speaks in 16 languages
Because we have some different languages here, I think it's quite interesting what your opinion is about this polyglot speaking in so many languages. German was error-free, how about the others? Anyone here who can tell?

16 languages, WOW!
His German is great, only one pronunciation flaw. His Albanian isn't bad but not good either and Serbian is a bit worse.

OK. I think it's still great what he achieved. Maybe he was learning the languages at the time, don't know.

Well, you have to be aware if the guy is really functional in all those languages, How about fluency? etc.

LOL! This guy is fascinating! I'm a Dutch native and his Dutch sounds pretty good, I have to admit! His pronunciation is not perfect, but it's quite close and I can easily understand what he said.
The only thing is...he says a lot of the same types of phrases in all the languages, so it could just be that he memorized a limited amount of information and translated that into many different languages. It doesn't mean that he's fluent in all 16 of them, which I find very hard to believe. I don't think there are enough hours in a day to really be fluent in 16 languages! Still pretty impressive though! |

@chileno
Right. I never said he's fluent in every language he speaks. @Manuel Some may be similiar but some aren't. He's telling quite different thing also I admit he may have learnt them before ut I watched other videos with him. |

I wasn't implying you said such thing. Just pointing out that, to me, a polyglot has to be fluent in all of the languages.

For me (s)he have not to be fluent. They could be learning a language. And what's more important than our specific meaning about how someone should speaking:
2 = bilingual 3 = trilingual 4 or more = polyglot Means: Even he isn't fluent in 15 languages (of 20 he is speaking in the video), maybe he is in five and that's making a polyglot. |

Su español es espectacular, a veces aspira un poco como los argentinos, pero en general tiene un acento español (España) más que notable.
