hi, i am italian, did you ever heard of "Lettura tridimensionale''?

"quickly", not "fast".

its easy i speak English (Native), Dutch (its quite easy very close related) Germany (close to English and Dutch), Greek (lived there) i know some French and Spanish from school, and currently learning Finnish as Duolingo doesn't do Estonian but is dam close

thx bro saved me 26 mins

And lots of money because F1 drivers certainly don't have empty pockets

Also most of F1 driver are born into very/extremely wealthy families, so it helps a lot when you have your family pay for the best of the class teachers and tutors.

​@@nieno9760Even without rich parents most kids can speak 3 languages.

I know from a friend who plays for German football team Eintracht Frankfurt's youth team that they give their international players a software called THINKIN to learn German quickly.

I'm not a polyglot but I understand many languages and have been lucky enough to speak a few at different times. The two most important factors are exposure and motivation. I'd hope that 50k plus a week provides the motivation, and working 3 hours a day leaves plenty of time for immersion and exposure. Mostly referencing the sports guys there, but also I'm ex military and learning the local lingo saves so much time and gains so much local respect it's always worth doing. I don't know any professional soldiers who didn't invest in this at least after their first time abroad and not knowing anything

Not Messi...

My Favorite is Lukaku, He speaks like 8 languages, including Lingala, the language of his parents.

*Also K-pop idols.* They all speak various combinations of Korean, Japanese, English, Chinese, and sometimes Thai.

BAHAHAHAHA TRUE

Canadian here. Um, yeah, no... unless it's some, well, Alberta or Saskatchewan dialect.

He's half-Italian.

@@PatrickBautista_RR3Gamer no both his parents are of italian background so he's 100% italian and also has an italian passport. but he was born and raised in australia.

@@ellobo4290 oh, I almost forgot that part.

Daniel knows only some words in Italian. He said it in one of McLaren videos.

@@hipotenuza5663don't let him fool u. The guy speaks & understands Italian

what about lewis hamilton

@@K33TOPTRIS I am sure he has clauses in his contract that say he is not required to learn or speak Italian, though I do hope he gives it a try.

Nigel Mansell famously never learnt Italian. His team mate Prost could speak Italian so he was able to get more out of the Italian engineers.

@@ABPerlov That was before I started watching the sport, but yes that is true.

Kimi is a different category himself

From what Ive heard Max learned German while driving in karting. The karting track belonged to Michael Schumacher, and Max was still a young child back then, so he picked up the language as kids do.

@@EarthlyJoys Exposure makes a lot of difference in language learning, but it's also properly schooled German that he speaks.

Hulk was born in a city near the border with Netherlands.

why would be the most remarkable? Dutch and German are very similar language, it's very easy to learn from one to anothet. I know plenty of people to speak both languages fluently, mostly Dutch people speaking German, but also the other way around. And also they all speak English, which is also helpful to learn Durch from German. Regarding Max, i read an interview with him where he said that Helmut Marko required from him to talk in German between them, so it was kinda mandatory to him. After that, i think his German improved a lot to be able to do 40 minutes of talkshaw.

Yeah but dutch is a strange mix between English and German. It's very easy for them

wtf is that whys there certificates for talking

​@@slof69Are you not familiar with the A-C Systhem? A1 is very basic, A2 is a bit better, B1 is probably enough to survive in the country for a few days, B2 is where the fun begins and where you can start to actually have real conversations and watch and read serios stuff, C1 is ad a very good level and somtimes better then some stupid nativ speakers and C2 is basically a native speaker. Also there is a difference between listening, speaking, reading and writing. For my selfe i can say that my listening and speaking in english is C1 while reading and writing is more like B2. And german is C2 btw since i am german.

@@Linus-tz2tk I have never seen it before but I don't understand formal education in most things I guess I just stick to what feels natural from person to person with interactions

Same story; ended up with a C2 Goethe certificate now moving to Germany to study at a German university in a couple of days😅

@@friedrich3384 You have a C2 in german as a non native speaker? Respect. Where do you come from?

It is his nickname, hehe

I’ll take that under consideration!

not a suprise 2 langues from home german from place he live in franch and english from and italian cause he is smart as hell also his economy knowlage is impressive

Nico even know some basic Italian (he was close to a Ferrari contract).

Kelly's partner is Max Verstappen now.

And Daniil speak italian very well! I remember he spoke with the former ISS Commander Luca Parmitano in italian without doing a single mistake.

also Italian, French .... etc... he is not fluent, he is native all languages😂

@GeorgeVenturi Nico Rosberg grew up and went to school in the Monaco Principality, which you probably already know. That means he knows both the Monegasque language and French. Probably fluent Italian as well, as he's on first name terms with Flavio Briatori, another Monaco resident, who prefers speaking Italian to English, which oddly, he's actually quite fluent. So, it's no surprise that Nico's Spanish is fluent. Italian and Spanish are very closely related languages. Thinking about Hamilton going to Ferrari, raises questions about the well known English reluctance to learn other languages; but, he is quite a capable musician (with both the guitar and piano) and obviously has 'the ear'. Picking up where he left off, when racing in Italy in his teens, (where he met and was friendly with Nico Rosberg), then under the guidance of Fred Vasseur. . . He's a wealthy fellow, so splashing the cash on an intensive 'total immersion' course in Italian in his in-between races time at permanent residence in Monaco and all holidays, will at least show willing, like Seb Vettel did, in his time at Ferrari . . . If he says 'he can't spare the time' - it means won't! And that would indicate to Italians that he has no respect for their culture and that of Ferrari . . . That would be a mistake. "Can't Means Won't!!"

Couldn't agree more!

Very true!

That’s a great goal!

with ocon being the exception

@@lorenzograndini2731 yeeessss 🔥

This was a Twitter community note on youtube, thank you for this.

Most kids, even with poor parents, can speak 3 languages. 1 native and 2 in school. If the parents also can speak more then one then its easely 4-5.

Correct, he raced karts in the Neetherlands at his early years.

Indeed he does, he even appeared on a Dutch TV program, where he was interviewed in Dutch, and at Formula 1 Races he was also speaking dutch to the dutch reporters.. cracking jokes that on one else would understand..

Yes indeed!

Glad you liked it!

For sure!

Couldn't agree more!

But I have to be honest@@storylearning finding those restaurants and bars can be difficult. Being a native English speaker, a lot of the time living abroad, I would find that the locals wanted to practise their English on me and I'd not get a lot of time to practise my native on them. Despite most of them speaking almost perfect American English (yes I drew the distinction, sue me) Luckily we live in a world where it takes a little more searching but foreign films, radio, podcasts, music are available. Hell Hollywood is the main reason most of the world speaks passable English, so beat them at their own game

I just tell people I want them to speak their native language to me, not English, and many oblige. Depends on how much time you're going to stay in that spot, though. @@cockbeard

Glad it did!

​@@storylearningthat's what she said 😂

I did not expect Olly making video on Formula 1 drivers! It was a pleasant surprise on my recommended, since I also like F1.

Probably a typo :)

Nope, he also said Fiorino

Fiorino a metano sul circuito di fiorano

😍

You go girl. Now that’s a great career to choose at such a young age. I bet you have the app babel.

Glad you liked it!

Monégasque is a language similar to Italian (actually a dialect of Ligurian), but only a few people of Monaco still speak it natively. :)

@@jmwild22 oh okay I wasn't aware it was an actual language! When I looked it up they said that French was the official language so I kinda assumed there wasn't a Monégasque language :)

Yep 🤣

He only knows the international "Bwaoh" 😁

Yea, just looked it up. About 65% of Europe's population can speak at least one other language, 25% at least 2 other, and 10% more than 3.

I'am not gonna be original but it is obvious, when in US you drive 5 hours through Texas you are still in Texas. In Europe you can pass a few countries that some tend to have 2 official languages for example Belgium.Generally better educated people in Europe speak English , their native language and some other European one. I'am lazy so i've learned English only but not gonna lie, it isn't enough when you tend to move around and not sit on your ass like i do for example.

If you speak 4 at an upper intermediate level, which is decent fluency -- certainly enough to communicate easily - you can say you're a polyglot. :)

@@lisamarydew thanks for the clarification. Polyglot it is!

What about Audiobooks?

That’s mainly what I do, the thing is, I use braille, and that works fine with English, but I need a way to visualize the words that are being spoken to me.

Keep at it... Anybody can learn a language without reading. You learned your native language without it.... think about it....

It's actually not a unique to F1 thing. It's just very common in Europe to speak multiple languages.

Yes, Sebastian Vettel

Yes 😂
