I was blindsided and blow away by this video (just a few slang words for you English learners) and most of all tremendously grateful. You will be able to see my video response, a much more modest production, later today on my channel. Thank you Benny and all who participated. Our polyglot(linguist) community is the greatest!

Today (July 13th - I've uploaded this just at the end of the day here) in 2007, Steve Kaufmann uploaded his first video... about his chair. Still, it's an incredible milestone to have reached, to be consistently encouraging the Internet for an entire decade! So a bunch of us got together to make this collaborative video in the style of a news broadcast, for "PNN" (Polyglot News Network), to celebrate it, and to finally put the input vs output language learning methods to the battle that the language learning community has been waiting for! I hope you guys enjoyed it, and that the fun-poking about the input vs output debate comes across well! I noticed in watching it over that I made a few mistakes myself (finger-spelled Kris as Krys in ASL, said a few things wrong in Italian etc.), but I still think it turned out pretty well and I'm really appreciative for everything the contributors did to help me make this happen!

Congratulations to Steve! Not only for having been on KZfaq for 10 years, but for helping many people, inspiring them, and learning 8 languages since! Also, that editing was amazing!

Benny, this is so brilliantly done!!! Awesome production value and so funny for those who follow this good-natured debate!

The news presenter is a pro! And the editor too... Jan.

*LIVE UPDATE* : We are happy to report the first rumored reaction by Steve Kaufmann: 🎙 _"Hi there, it's Steve Kaufmann here, thank you to all those involved. But I would recommend changing the name of the network to the "LINGUIST News Network"... 😂 Thank you for listening, bye for now!"_ From Italy, Raffaele, Rafter's Languages 😄

Hey Benny and all the gang at PNN. I hope this will be just the first of many enlightening broadcasts. Parabéns!

I really loved this video! It is cleverly done, with collaborations from several members of the community. And the technical quality is superb, making for a very professional looking news program. My hat is off to you and your crew, and I hope we get to see more of these kinds of videos in the future.

Congratulations Steve for reaching your 10th year on KZfaq and to all involved in the making of this wonderful, entertaining video!

whoo! way to go Steve! Way to build up the community Benny & co. If you want to go fast, go alone, if you wan to go far, go together :)

Congratulations Steve!

This awesome, well done to everyone who put this amazing video together and congratulations to Steve Kaufmann.

Steve my all time language hero! Congratulations Steve!

This was really amazing. Congratulations Steve!

Sensacional! Parabéns +Steve Kaufman and what an amazing video !

Steve is an amazing polyglot and a huge inspiration to me. Trough these past 5 years since I started learning Spanish I've watched every one of his videos and he really kept me motivated and made me believe I could learn another language and today I can say that I am bilingual in Spanish and English which is an amazing satisfaction :).

Mojosa laboro, saluton al ĉiuj kunlaborantoj. Vi multe instruas al mi. Kia granda estas Steve!

Great fun! Loved the video and congratulations, Steve :)

What a fun video! I hope there's more to come like this on the channel :D

This is an awesome idea, very entertaining and a great tribute to Steve! Love the fact you involved so many people!

Congratulations, guys! Great idea and great video!!! ;-) Luca

Great video! Good job everyone! Congrats Steve! 👏

I love this dude! You all hit the nail on the head with this one Benny! I read your Fi3M book and pre-ordered 5 copies to share years back and it's just so cool to see you doing your thing! Congrats to Steve -Jaye

Muito bom este vídeo, o Steve merece todo esse carinho! Parabéns Benny, ficou 10!!!

I am just watching this now. It was an amazing video, really funny.

Wow this was a very nice Video. I kan see that alot of work was put into it :) :)

Parabéns ao Steve!!!, ele é uma das pessoas que nos motiva a não desistir e entrar nesse fantástico mundo das línguas. E outra coisa, Benny o seu português é incrível, sem sotaque algum. Parabéns a você também.

Benny Lewis, you speak Portuguese very good.

Benny! Gostei muito do vídeo, principalmente da parte em Português! :)

Haha! this was a great video! really enjoyed it. im not gonna go over to Steves chanel and see his reply :)

Let's see what Steve has to say about this..

Ahahaha benny is such a witty guy . Entertaining to watch

الفديو جميل جداً واعملتك ممتاز يا بيني

kauffman brought me here.

Benny, may I ask your tips on learning if you are on a low income and cant decide to live and immerse yourself in a country of your language choice? I am a single mum and really want to learn languages and become a polyglot but I am unable to afford the packages out there or find a regular conversation friend/partner.

sotaque brasileiro muito bom. me lembrou o inimigo gringo. kkkkkkk

Benny I have a question. I have noticed that you have a very good accent in spanish and portuguese. But do you have to force yourself when you make it while you are speaking or does it come naturally to you?

Wow! Amazing video! Steve in Ukrainian Vishyvanka looks really cool. And Conor speaks Ukrainian with Polish accent :)

Sorry, but i'm ukrainian, and i must admit, that i understood the ukrainian part only by subtitles, the prononciation is very bad, but it's still better than my cantonese prononciation ( i have never learned it) )))))
