A literal translation of his conversation in arabic: “I speak little arabic but know arabic really well, but you were in egypt, you were in Morocco. Morocco really really good. Love hospitality here( referring to the place in which he sat) and food.” “You like food. The shawarma and falafel” “But you speak a lot of language” As you can clearly see its at best a crude pronunciation of every syllable and at worst an incomprehensible trial. Not trying to discourage him, but he would need to improve his Arabic by quite a lot to be considered proficient. Particularly, he should focus on the peculiarities of Arabic grammar like how to ask a question and when to use plurality.

This is the difference between a master and a poser.

Wouter does tend to memorize phrases, but he almost always at least understands something about the grammar involved (even if he doesn't know the grammar very well). He also makes a very good effort on accent, and some of his accents are remarkably good. He can understand and converse at least a little, which is WAY harder than just memorizing a Swadesh list. He's also getting better all the time. Always adding new languages, trying to master his old ones. See his most recent stuff. The dude is crazy. If he lied about it or was dishonest, who cares? You know the truth, and you shouldn't expect better from a dude who speaks like 50 languages, of course most won't be fluent. But he is extremely impressive. I mean Laoshu was the same way.

I noticed that too. He doesn't seem to be paying much attention, it's not a real conversation (in any language). Tim is a true polyglot, Wouter seems to know some key phrases in lots of languages, but can only really express his thoughts fluently in a couple of languages. Still impressive, of course, but I think he needs to show more patience. He does a lot of yappin in these videos, to impress people, but I think that he would learn way more if he showed some patience and listened to others. I also suspect that Wouter doesn't read a lot of literature, unlike Tim. And to be perfectly honest, his English is just mediocre, which is weird to me, cause English is sooo similar to Dutch. I would actually disgaree with Tim concerning that, because he said that German was easier to learn than Dutch, but maybe that depends on which language you start off with. Anyway, when you watch these videos, at first you're blown away, but then you start noticing that he relies heavily on generic, key phrases, and he isn't really engaging with most people. That being said, he did inspire me to be honest. I'm sitting here thinking to myself; am I just lazy? Cause I speak multiple languages, and I always thought I could learn more, or improve, but never really bothered to do so, and now I kinda feel like I owe it to myself to maybe put some more effort into it.

@SamuelGeletka 3 жыл бұрын

I am really overwhelmed with Tim's real knowledge of languages. He is a real polyglot and shouldn't be compared to this guy, who just knows basic phrases of 20 languages and says he is a polyglot. In way of native Slovak speaker and C2 Czech speaker, his Slovak and Czech was mixed together and with little bit of Polish and Russian, but we have to say, these are really tough languages with low population of native speakers, so lets forgive him. And also, he speaks 20 langueges fluently so lets be quiet and learn from this tremendous man. Great respect Tim.

My philosophy on polyglots fits this guy really well: "Speaking multiple languages only means that you're equally stupid in all of them". The old man has actual stories to tell, and the capability to convey them in different languages without having to really think about them (he only really stops to think when he's trying to remember parts of the story). Wouter cannot even convey his simplest thoughts in most of these languages, let alone doing them seamlessly.

@jimtepedino9295 2 жыл бұрын

In Wouter's defense, he's less than half this man's age. That has to be taken into consideration. Even if you can only say basic things in 30 languages, it's still very impressive. Personally, I spend my time concentrating on three, if I can speak three with a high level of fluency, that's a great personal achievement for me.

Looks a little bit artificial. Actually, the younger guy mainly says the same things in whatever language he uses: love your accent, do you wanna be my friend, let's have a beer, I have a friend here and there... He doesn't really succed in having a real conversation and reacting, to the specific information the other gives. In the other hand, the older guy is very amazing! He's able to say very specific things and talk about his personal experience in so much languages! It seems actually that his WHOLE life has been dedicated to languages, as he lived in so much different countries, and seems keen on literature. To me, through the limitations of the younger guy, this video actually shows how hard it is to master just ONE language. Yes, it's possible to learn a few words in many languages to show off and give the illusion that you speak a language by saying quickly a bunch of basic more or less prepared sentences, but to maintain a real conversation and express yourself, who you are as a unique individual, it's a lot more work and a huge self dedication!

@Sapien It does not work if the goal is for the sentence to be grammatically correct. *Do* and *make* in this context are both Light verbs (www.wikiwand.com/en/Light_verb). Which verb works is somewhat arbitrary, but in this case the correct light verb for mistake is make, and so the statement "made a mistake" is correct. In contrast, do is the wrong light verb, so the phrase "did a mistake" is ungrammatical.

Good guess. You know the CIA has a fast-track language learning method for its operatives, that you learn to speak most common phrases in about 1-2 days. He studied Iranian only for 30 hours he said. Soviet union, Iran, west Germany, China. He also read a lot of literature and tried to understand the culture. The CIA, uses the world Factbook with information compiled by various anthropologists to gain insight on local populations, their culture, their differences etc. It helps you blend in. And if you take into account the time and money needed for all this traveling, reading literature, studying languages, and that a man has also to work to survive, it's easier to combine all those into one thing. High probability of former CIA operative.

Buddy is trying to talk to you about his learnings in Geneva in French, and you hit em with the "French is no problem for me. I hope we can speak all the languages together". Then later on, randomly you say, "We can drink something together". Its just a phrase that you've learned and think that it works when you don't understand someone. "J'aime l'accent de tois" is such a random thing to say. Then follow it up with "do you like French jokes" *facepalm*. I'm anglophone Canadian so my French isnt top quality, but I can say I'm bilingual because I can carry out a conversation and stick on topic. I admire that you can somewhat understand or speak so many languages, but you are far from fluent in most. Your English isn't bad, although it's easy to tell that it isnt your first language. You can claim to be fluent in English. But try to avoid saying yes in all these conversations. You hit em with the "si" and "oui" so many times. Tim genuinely can speak French fluently; all of his sentances made sense and stayed on topic. You might almost think that he is French, because some places in France have that exact accent (or I'm trippin). His grammar is probably better than mine, and I've spoken French my whole life (as a secondary language). Props to you both, but Wouter should stop saying random robotic things. And definitely do not say "French is no problem for me", because it kinda is.

The old guy is more verse because he stayed and studied language in university and school for years so his grammar is a bit accurate and he can manage good conversation than him because the young guy I've noticed some of his words are very common and basic like robot answering questions but his language skills is already above average than normal.

That "Czech" was combination of Slovak and Polish, definitely not Czech, but it was understandable for Czech speaker. :-D But he defacto said he understand but can't speak so that's ok.

@horvis1varnsdorf 3 жыл бұрын

"CZECH" here: Ano. První větu řekl česky dobře. Pak přepnul do slovenštiny. Ale myslím, že kdyby byl pár dní v Čechách mezi Čechy, tak se chytne a bude mluvit lépe. Hlavně je sympatické, že si na tu češtinu vzpomněli, protože česky mluví málokteré z polyglotů, pokud tedy není Čech nebo Slovák. Já bez problémů rozumím prakticky všemu ve španělštině, němčině a angličtině. Úplně plynule nemluvím žádným cizím jazykem, ale to hodně závisí na tématu. Prakticky ke všemu se dokážu vyjádřit v němčině a celkem dobře i v běžných situacích ve španělštině. Angličtinu mám zatím jen pasivně. Je to tím, že kromě němčiny, kterou se dorozumívám v práci, tak nemám šanci mluvit cizím jazykem s ostatními. Jinak něco málo rozumím i portugalsky a italsky. Ty základy jsme pochytil během pár dní co jsem se na to podíval. Když člověk umí španělsky, tak tam najde hodně podobností, které pomáhají k tomu, že se člověk nemusí učit tolik nových slovíček, protože spousta věcí se řekne prakticky stejně, akorát se to jinak píše a jinak vyslovuje, ale stejný základ tam člověk pozná. Jediné co je tam nevýhoda je např. odlišné postavení přízvuku, takže když jsem se trochu učil portugalštinu, tak mi tam lezl španělský přízvuk, a když si člověk zvykne na portugalský, tak začne pak klást ve španělštině přívuk na špatné místo. Je jasné, že je to otázka cviku. Tím, že nemám s kým ty jazyky procvičovat, tak jsem se toho trochu zalekl a například italštinu jsem se po 3 dnech přestal učit, abych si tím nerozhodil španělštinu. Nebo například členy podstatných jmen v portugalštině (o, a) se také vyskytují ve španělštině, kde ale plní úplně jinou funkci. Ale asi se nakonec budu věnovat i té portugalštině a italštině, abych se pokusil využít té podobné slovní zásoby, ikdyž ta korelace také nefunguje vždy.

So that's why I understood him speaking czech. I'm learning slovak, I already understand it a bit, but czech really badly, but how he was speaking in both was totally understandable for me. He doesn't speak hungarian at all though.

Tim is really good at French. He learned French in Switzerland, as he said he's using Swiss numbers "septante", which is "soixante-dix" in France French. Wouter is answering really poorly, 9:07 "I like the accent of you", and the best part 9:35 "Where would you cut the sunglasses overthere, I think it's very very very tasty, I like glasses".

He actually used the the word “compre” which derives from ‘comprar’ which is the Spanish word for “to buy”. He said “compre il” so he’s trying (a bad try and with a mix of languages) and he just got lucky that the other guy actually knows Spanish and French and could infer what he wanted to say so he obliged and answered without embarrassing him. He was still wrong since it should have been ‘compraste’ and he used “compre”. I give him that he knows some phrases in many languages, but that a polyglot does NOT make!
