+My dream Well if we're talking not-fluent-language, then I speak about 8. Fluent however, is 3. Fluent for me is when you stop stuttering when ordering a sandwich with several toppings (no "euh...with the.eh- eh- eh- ehhhh- lettuce and the eh-eh-eh-what's it called, ehh..ehh..pickles..and-" ) and are able to direct strangers across town with 'left right, left at church, right at supermarket, trainstation etc.'-directions. If that goes perfectly smooth, and you can answer a couple of basic questions, I think you can say you're fluent. However, I personally put the bar higher for myself. I say fluent when I can ramble on about things, without having to stop and search for the words.

You're a huge inspiration to me Wouter, whenever I watch your videos it makes me want to be able to speak as many languages as you with such amazing ability ! I am 17 and I speak English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and a little bit of Hindi, I know little tads and bits of other languages too. I'm currently studying Chinese in college but I also study other languages for fun, especially Hindi. I will study and learn over time and eventually speak as many languages as you do. I love learning these languages because of the culture, I dream of one day travelling the world and being able to make friends wherever I go. You're super awesome Wouter, maybe we can be friends too ! :D

I think it's important to note that he doesn't say that he's FLUENT in all these languages, he just speaks a bit of each. For example, I speak Japanese, Okinawan Hougen, and English fluently. When I say fluent I mean I can understand an advanced amount of the language, and if I don't understand a word or phrase, I can have it explained to me in that language without having to revert back to my native tongue. But I do speak conversationally in Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, and Korean. So if I post a video of me speaking all the languages I know, 4 out of 7 are going to be with shaky grammar and pretty bad.

There are different kinds of Latin, guys. There is the more common "Roman-Catholic Latin" nowadays, which is actually spoken, but mostly in the Vatican as a form of tradition. There is also "Roman Latin" which has mostly made up rules, but still standardized in textbooks that are taught in schools that still have the language as a class. The language is only "dead" because the population that feasibly speaks it consistently is less than any other language, but it's still a language that people can speak.
