This is fascinating, especially when they talk about how your personality can change slightly when you enter the "reality" of another language. I currently speak 5 languages, and I've found this happens to me. Some of my other friends who are also polyglots have also noticed this. For example, in Spanish, I tend to be a more relaxed, cool, confident & happy version of myself, while in French I tend to act a little bit more reserved. Loved this video!

He speaks a perfect french. Without flaw, without accent.

We want more of Mathew and Luca!!!!!

Their German... no accent.

The moment when you are a native German but read the English subtitles for it

Matthews german was near perfection damn

that face when you know english, Spanish and french so you can be lazy and not read some subititles

2:15 as soon as he switched into Italian then we have the hand gestures haha so awesome.

this is a really good commercial for duolingo!

0:55 Damn, his German is spot on! He really speaks like a native speaker. Find ich schon ziemlich beeindruckend ;D

Interesting. I learned Spanish in class, in Sweden but have forgotten much. anyway the experience of learning and understanding a new language is as they say - enriching and rewarding I think. It's fun! I want to learn Russian.

i loved it, but i hate to need to read subtitles and then dejarlos de necesitar , i found it kinda annoying, ma è stranno perchè io faccio lo stesso con i miei amici che parlano inglese e spagnolo, era extraño estar escuchando español y después que cambien a alemán y de repente necesitar subtítulos, and then again in english

¡Su español es jodidamente bueno!

I love these guys. I could listen to them for hours. Thanks for inspiring us!! :)

His American accent is amazing! I love these little clips, they make my day better

It is so true. I am a polyglot and when I switch to different languages, I also feel like I am presenting another personality. It is so entertaining and fascinating. You feel like different people all stemming from the same core within you. I would go as far as to say it is feels like a superpower.

holy fuck!!!! is that you Luca?? We met in sweden in 2005 in Stockholm... i can't believe it.. hahaha..omg..

4:05 Our ginger beard friend does a very funny Liverpool (a city in England) accent lol. Thats how they speak. These guys are definitely motivating me to learn a new language or two! I like how they not only learn the language but also learn about the actual people and the etiquettes and customs when interacting and speaking. Very insightful and interesting. Thanks for the upload Babbel. And please invite these two guys over again for tons of croissants and tea :)

6 years later and I still return to this for inspiration.

I appreciate you both. Now I speak with 4 languages, 2 from Indonesia, 1 english, and 1 hongkong Chinese. Then I just learn german, Spanish, Italian, and French. I learn it by myself, nobody help me. But today I have a lesson from you how to learnt, I wish I could be better than now. Thanks for the lessons you both. Liebe dich 💋.

Luca is awesome! I'm glad you guys invited him!

Amazing! J'adore, bom trabalho!

Terrific. Very inspiring.

U guys r awesome👍🏻 speak in different languages is a big gift

Luca is an outstanding polyglot !!!! he sounds like a native in spanish & french i heard him speak portugese on other videos & sounds native too what & inspiration for other language lovers!!!

Stellar video, guys. I currently speak English, Spanish and French. I would like to add German in the near future. You both give me a high bar to shoot for. Buenisimo!

At the moment i know only 5 languages -> Friulian ("la lenghe de me patrie, une vore dongje al francês" - my homeland language, really near to french), italiano (studiato a scuola), of course i know english even if personally i don't like it (not funny language), im Uni lerne ich deutsch und russisch, они действительно красивые! Languages i'll study in future are arab, portuguese, modern greek, hungarian, and maybe others :D

What do they do for a living?

Very interesting, I recognize myself in a lot of the things they say (I use three languages, soon four, on the regular degular).

Luca has the most perfect pronunciation out of all the polyglots I've heard. Although I just speak 3 languages, a sliver of what he can, but so far he speak it well.

J'adore ! I love this video ... bravo Luca, especially for the English accent. And I totally agree that you change your personality slightly as you change language. Sprachen wechlsen ist Spass 😀 I learnt a bit of Polish and find the same issue you had when hearing Portuguese and Russian (I can understand a bit of Portuguese through French).

Soy salvadoreño, hablo español, pero me gusta mucho el conocer otros idiomas, he aprendido inglès y portuguès, ahora me encuentro aprendiendo italiano y espero tambien aprender frances el proximo año. El conocer otro idioma te convierte en varias personas en uno. I am salvadoran, I speak Spanish and I like a lot to learn other languages; I have learnt English and Portuguese and now I am learning Italian and I hope to learn French next year. Knowing other languages turns you in a person with different personalities. Sou salvadorenho, falo espanhol, mas eu gosto muito de aprender outras linguas, tenho aprendido inglès e portugues, e agora eu estou aprendendo italiano e espero aprender frances o proximo ano. Conhecer outras linguas torna voce em muitas pessoas em uma.

Hey guys! I have noticed that my voice changes when I speak a different language. It gets a higher or a lower pitch. Do you know if there is a reason for that? Does that happen to you too? I kinda noticed that every time you switch from one language to the other. I would love to know what you think about all this. Thank you!

fantastico...i do the same but not yet in so many languages, only 4...

Amazing...!!! on my way!!!

great video!

Notice he didn't switch to Chinese, Japanese or Russian, which would have been slightly more impressive...

Cool, really cool, I agree with the theory of personality... le problème c'est que j'habite en France depuis 4 ans y j'ai du mal encore à m'habituer. Anche se sono italiano 100 % e mia moglie è Inglese... y me gusta mucho hablar espagnol gracias a mi trabajo, de hecho conocí mi mujer en Madrid donde hicimos un año de Erasmus...

Wow, No soy la única. I do this mientras estoy manejando mi car. Pero solamente hablo el castellano y el ingles and a few phrases in deutch. Но я толька изучаю русский язык в университете! But sí sí sí sí, it is SOOO great to learn other languages... So useful and such a blessing just to be able to communicate with people from so many different cultures and backgrounds!!

Aaaah quanto mi ritrovo in questa situazione e in queste riflessioni. Sono italofona ma adoro studiare le lingue. J'habites à Fribourg, eine Stadt in der Schweiz, where people speak French and a Swiss German dialect. Il s'agit donc d'une ville bilingue. Il mio ragazzo è svizzero tedesco e ha imparato il francese con me. Donc nous nous parlons tjr en français, even if it is not our native language. Le nostre conversazioni sono identiche a come scrivo e come è mostrato nel video. Ce qui est beau dans l'apprentissage des langues consists in the fact that every language has its expressions that fits perfectly and you can't translate them. Spesso mi capita di parlare in italiano e utilizzare delle parole in altre lingue perchè le trovo molto piú convincenti. Ahora estoy estudiando el Español porque es un idioma muy bonito y similar a el italiano y el francés. Cependant je suis bcp plus fascinée par l'apprentissage du Japonais. 日本語は美しい。私は少し日本語お話ます (住みません、 I can't find how to write ほ in this sentence correctly). Also, die Sprache sind sehr lustig und Interessant. Viel Spass und Viel Glück, Leute! Liebe Grüsse from Switzerland :)

is this a conversation or actually just two guitar solos?

Besides showing off, is there a reason you constantly change which language you're speaking in?

I aspire to speak foreign languages like Luca, no accent when speaking the language; I feel like that makes you as close as possible to being native-level

Where is he from and how I can meet him?????

here I am speaking Chinese and English at home at the same time in the same sentence

That's so cool!!

Hey bro can i ask you a question ! How did you learn all these language ?

they are really Good....

Somebody explain to me what's the point of adopting an accent, like the British one, if you don't live there ( and you're not an actor or something similar)

This dude is awesome. I thought i was pretty good with my 4 languages but 11 shiit that's crazy. i would like to hear him speak Portuguese to see how good his accent is

Great!

Amazing people

is this just a way to advertise the website?

I wish I could reach that one they!!! I´m spanish native speaker from Uruguay and I think it´s quite hard to get that level but not impossible... I´ve learn also portuguese (I´ve never studied,only talking with people),obviously english, and now german :)

Luca's languages are spoken so perfectly it makes no sense.

Dios mio estos tipos estan locos !!!! Que impresión verlos hablar tantas lenguas asi con esa facilidad

我很想看看那个老外说点中文。Does any1 know a video where Luca spoke Chinese?

Can you do Korean

Why can't I give the thumbs up to this vid more than once???!!! Ihr seid eigentlich Prima, Leute!!! Sigam a fazer um trabalho. Saludos desde Bolivia!!!

HOLY DAMN HIS SPANISH IS 100 out of 100 I'm impressed I thought that it was impossible to speak a foreign language without acceeent 🤯

So cool to see Polyglots at work lol

Both speak German perfectly even without an accent.

das ist sehr gut

Good.

His German is perfect!

1:23 wirklich wahr! Man verhält sich in der Sprache in der man spricht, vorausgesetzt man spricht die Sprache auch gut.

Wow, now that's amazing

it is so funny that they have close to no foreign accent when speaking german, the only thing that gives it away is that it is to clear/crisp. "natural" german is a little bit more mumbled. perhaps people in hannover speak very clearly but the regular german speaks a bit faster and mumbles just a little bit. foreigners just tend to say every word. for example, weird example but it fits very well. imagine somebody in a thinking process saying: hmmm i dont know how to put it/ i can not conform that (it is not the exact translation, just similar to the german meaning of the upcomming phrase). in german: hmmm kann ich so nicht sagen. would be in spoken german: kanich sonich sagn... certain words amalgamate somehow.

so far im sitting at 2 languages - italian and english - currently studying japanese! gl learning new languages ppl =)

Son 11... pero hasta aquí lo que muestran es lo mismo que yo sé, podría haber mantenido esa conversación con ellos perfectamente además dudo sobre el nivel...

I would totally be fluent in French already, but the thing is, I have to take time.. To translate the sentence before it comes out of my mouth. Being fluent is already thinking and saying at the same time... So I'm working on instantaneous speech.

How can he speak fast in those languages when I'm nearly forgetting my first language, Tagalog. I often take like 2s before responding to a question in Filipino and often taken as absent minded. Puedo hablar el Español, Inglés, y Tagalog.

Ich kann schon Englisch, Spanisch, Französisch, Deutsch und Portugiesisch. Würde gerne Italienisch oder Russisch lernen :)

Any plans to add Thai to your languages yet?

How do they manage not to have an accent. Their German is fantastic. I grew up in Germany while being born in Poland and learning english on the way I ended up having a foreign accent in each language. How do they control that?

Interesting video, I'm proud of my english(which is really bad but compared to most people here it's at least decent) but I hate to speak it because of my italian accent eheh :) gotta get rid of it somehow!

Why is the video so short ;(?

Perfect😍

So... where is Luca from originally?

those are beautiful languages, I don't know what to learn first...

great video, but why is the portuguese language flag in the end from Brazil? shouldn't it be from Portugal?

I am bilingual and it takes me at least a second to switch languages, I cant just switch like they are doing in this video. I agree that you are a slightly different person while speaking another language though.

I know no one is reading these comments but the reason Luca got recognized as not British is because his accent started Irish, melted into Australian, and then jumped to received pronunciation.

His spanish accent is amazing!

The guy is impressive.

Your Italian is good! Actually better than how most italians speak it.

Why they didn't even touch the food??

cool!!!!!

well they spoke English, Spanish Italian and German where are all the other languages ? Even i could understand everything. I would like to do the same with someone who speaks my languages Portuguese, German, French, English and if possible swiss german and someone who speaks to me in Italian and Spanish too cause i understand it but dont speak it, must be pretty bad ass to talk all the languages at the same time.. never had the chance to do it...

their accents are perfect

Each culture has its sociology, therefore, each language is like a different person of the person.

What about Russian and Polish???? Why he didnt prove his knowledge????

Switching Languages, Accents And Personalities | Babbel Voices

Je vous aime !!! J'aimerais un jour atteindre un tel niveau. Mon alter-ego. :)

No no no how are they doing that?! I'm bilingual and trip over words and my Spanish accent sometimes comes out when I'm speaking English. 😦😭 I wanna be like them...so suave in switching over from language to language

**Discuss how much your personality changes when you speak a foreign language** **Proceeds to exclusively speak in Romance/Germanic languages that are structurally similar in grammar, syntax, and vocabulary** Try this with a language drastically different from your native one, and you'll see different results. I act/express myself differently in Mandarin because it's fundamentally different from English. It's not some persona that one can just slap on for fun.

Mathews German is just perfect!

What’s with the “uuuuuuhh” between words in French

Even though I am a native English speaker I have a problem sometimes where I'll retain a Spanish or Italian accent even when I'm speaking English. It usually happens when I've been practicing all day. People will be ask me if I'm Spanish or Italian and I'm just like "shit. I was doing it again, wasn't I?" lol
