Hello people! I know you're not here for me, you are here to see football players speaking various languages and there are like millions of these kinds of videos out there on CZcams but I still want to thank you for over 1 million views and over 1000 subscribers!
Regarding certain comments, I know that the definition of the term "polyglot" is pretty debatable and as a non-native English speaker I have always thought the term meant a person who can speak 4+ languages. Seems like polyglot actually means you can speak 5+ languages, so sorry if the title of the video is misleading or something.
Also, I know that some of these players aren't very fluent in certain languages shown in the video, some speak in very basic sentences but for me it's not a big deal.
Lastly, as I said at the beginning of this video, I haven't made a single penny from this video even if I technically could since there have been no copyright strikes. I don't own any material shown in this video and I didn't upload this to make money. Monetizing this video would actually be illegal. I simply wanted people to see that these players can speak these languages, some more fluently, some less fluently.
Thank you all :)
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any tricks you can give me
He is a language King!
Is from belgium 🇧🇪 parle français
Fun fact; Özil speaks German with Turkish accent and at the same time speaks Turkish with German accent
@Jason J I think English is different : )
@Jason J Every turk in germany who is born hear speaks fluent but özil is özil
@Jason J I think it's not a real "Turkish accent". He speaks German like every native, simply because he is a native.
Each of us has a slang. Ozil's slang is the one spoken among the Turkish Community in Germany.
Maybe he's too lazy to switch to a "standard German" when he's on TV. Nevertheless, he's a native German speaker like all Germans.
@@__n__g__8935 nah
Ozil was born and raised in Gelsenkirchen, where the accent is really heavy. His Turkish is what is called "provinceless" Turkish, typical of Turks who don't come from Turkey and have no personal links to any province or vilyayet.
Where is lukaku? He speaks French Dutch, Lingala, Portuguese, English, German and now learning Italian!!!!
I'm working on a second part and he most definitely will be included in that video!
El Momento Hermano yes there is a video where he speaks linguala with benteke
Lukaku never played in germany
@@sergiokun7925 they always used that at Everton, so that the opponents didn't know, what they were planning
Sergio Kun it was with bolasie
What Mesut said in spanish: "Yes, very good, Cristiano Ronaldo, eeeh, two goals today, puts two goals, and we win, eeeh, very happy".
Wahahagaha
And again more than Bale >:)
He also said that they won
XDDD
Özil only speaks Turkish perfect afaik, even his German is poor, although born and raised in Germany.
De Bruyne be like “let me talk”.
🤣🤣🤣
While he speaks German, he throws in the word 'belangreich'...my first thought: He was thinking that there must be some kind of word like 'belangrijk' (Dutch & Belgian Dutch) in German and has just invented it...but the most funny fact: I just found out that the word 'belangreich' really exists instead of 'wichtig' (meaning 'important'), even if it's very outdated. So Kevin de Bruyne teached me something about my own mother language now. :D
@@ici_marmotte ich wusste es schon
😂😂
espacemarmotte du wusstest nicht das es belangreich gab... well fuck... habe meine Hoffnung zu der Welt verloren Kappa
It’s funny when you see all these European players speaking multiple languages to a very high standard then you see a lot of British players who can barely speak English
And they say footballers are dumb
That's probably why you rarely see English players abroad in Europe. Sancho has only spent 3 years in Germany and is already coming back to England, he prob didn't learn much German in the meantime
@Home Just Doesn't change anything to the statement
And they are the worst offenders in saying "would of/could of"
@r s of course, look at Bale, who stood there for like 6 years
Wtf Lovren is a beast in speaking German
Das habe ich zuerst gar nicht gewusst, das er auch deutsch spricht & das sogar besser als *Mesut Özil*
@@schwarze22 hahaha isso
His family was living as refugee and asylum seeker in germany during bosnian civil war but never getting asylum and decided moving to croatia
Er ist mit 3 nach Deutschland geflüchtet, also ist Deutsch die erste Sprache die er perfekt beherrscht hat. Später musste er wieder zurück nach Kroatien, weil sein Visum abgelaufen ist
@@CASHPABLOG woher diese infos du nerd
Bro Kovacic Is fluent in english, german, italian, spanish, croatian
MR BOUNTY He is from Austria 😂😅🤣🤣🤣
MR BOUNTY in Austria you are talking in German.
Aquatic FUT - Fifa & Football not really, every federal state has its own slang. We can talk german but when we talk slang, germans can’t understand us. i would count it as a different language haha
Thomas Kracher Bist du deutsch?
Thomas Kracher Übrigens kann er es gut, er ist in Österreich geboren, war hier in der Schule und hat bis 15 Jahre hier gespielt, er ist mit 15 das erste Mal in Kroatien gewesen..
Kevin is from Belgium. Basically a trilingual country.
It's not that simple...German part of Belgium is also VERY small (lower than 1% of the population). But don't try to figure it out, It's a hopelessly complicated nation for such a small surface.
@@vincentpeeters1157 but he played in germany For a few years
Yes but in Belgium, people who speaks french doesn't talk in dutch. And also some flanders dont speaks french
Somehow all of you are right.
It's not simple bro I am from Wallonia and here we only speak french I can not speak Dutch bro 🙄
All of these players speak better English than Harry Kane. Smh
Eoin Mac Raghnaill, you know your that one guy everyone hates at school.
Eoin Mac Raghnaill lmao
@@Geoglyph89 I dare you to find a grammatical or spelling error in my comment.
@@Geoglyph89 keep proving my point. the irish were once a warrior race. how far they have fallen
Eoin, you literally just said, “ah yes, name calling. The true hellmark of the intellectual.”
And pretty clearly, it was meant as a joke. And yet you name call us?
Now that’s big brain.
De Bruyne & Lovren definitely the most fluent out of these guys
In Belgium they speak france , german and english
@@cemocan9425 French, Flemish (Fake Dutch haha) and English. But it's not that common for people over there to speak all three languages. Most of the French speaking Belgian players can't speak Flemish.
I would say Lovren and Reina
His German is not exactly good :p, it's quite funny
@@cemocan9425 xD, they speak french, dutch, in the very eastern part a bit german, and english, you learn everywhere in europe and almost everywhere on the world ma dude xD
And Gareth Bale speaks English, Welsh, Australian, and Irish.
And Scottish.
@@stewedo lol you must be fun at parties
@@stewedo parties is the plural of party
😂😂😂😂
And Canadian
Lovren speeks every language fluently...😱
And his pronunciation is soo good!
Not English
You should listen to Mateo Kovacic. Guy speaks 5 languages with no problems at all. There are even youtube videos made about his amazing language knowledge. :)
Pepe reina learns languages so quick, he did it in months here at Bayern
I was searching for this comment, his pronounciation was just amazing for that little time he spent at Bayern
I feel like Pepe Reina just went to Bayern for a year to learn German fully knowing that he won't play many games xd
When Neuer plays in your team you have to accept that :D Ter Stegen would probably start for any other national team but not for Germany
@@K3gel and he deserves to play instead of Neuer...
@@ZlatanDavid11 nope.
Everybody say, that German is a heavy language, but all of them talk very good german👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
And?
Except for De Bruyne
@@TvLOverdose KDB spoke very well German. Of course you can hear he isn't a native speaker but his German skills are very good.
He was speaking a mix of Dutch and German. In one of the sentences he said 'belangreich' for example. This comes from the Dutch word 'belangrijk' and means important. In German however the word for important is 'wichtig'.
@@Wouterz19 belangreich also exists in german also meaning wichtig, but no one really uses it anymore
Kevin de bruyne can talk? :O
@Archie Baron well i love wen things start getting real
when they let him
Yeah i thought his personality was like Brock Lesnar
Kevin.
Shot op
Speaking another language relatively well requires tremendous discipline, energy, and time. I marvel at these talented football polyglots. "Ausgezeichnet!" "Geweldig!" "Magnifique!" Well done!
well, they have enough time and money on their hands. I think most of us would be able to learn a language fast, if we had the opportunity these guys have
@@meganoob12 Not necessarily true. They have a demanding schedule.
Pjanic speaks : Bosnian, French, German, English, Italian, and will learn Catalan and Spanish soon 😉
macegaba i hope not
We don’t need him, we have several midfielders. Frenkie can play in Busquets position perfectly. Meanwhile we have him for 2 more years atleast
Godforbid!!! Please we don't want Pjanic
He won't leave
And he speaks luxembourgish
Mkhitaryan speak: Armenien, Russian, English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Portuguese ....
And little bit of ukrainian.
Also High Valerian and the Ancient Jedi language
and lıttle bıt asssıan
Hebrew, Arabic, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Swedish, Dutch also
@@DonaldDraper4 where did he talk turkish
Lovren has very impressive English, sounds more Scandinavian than Eastern European when he’s speaking English
And then there’s harry kane with 0.5 languages
😂😂
Explains why the man prefers to remain in the PL, when he eventually leaves Spurs...
Haha😂 Pepe Reina sounds like a northerner with Spanish accent to it😂
like Ole Gunnar Solksjaer 's English, fully Northern ey. Even Son is saying "the lads" instead of "my teammates"
Absolutely 🤣👍
The Croatian ones speak so many languages! Almost all of them.
There is the cliche that footballers are not very smart but it is undeniabale That the majority is Talented in languages. They learn the language of their clubs so fast
lol, people who can speak many language are considered smart cause learning foreign language are not easy.
All the languages that kdb spoke were languages we learn in school in Belgium
Did belgium have designated region? Like, this province official language is french, this one is dutch, and this one german?
Or the 3 languages is official in every province? Did goverment paper written in 3 languages?
In the dutch part we learn french from when we are 10, english from when we are 12 and german when we are 14 and at 15 you can even chose to do spanish or Italian at some schools
Dejan Lovren is properly fluent in the four languages he speaks in this video, he looked so comfortable speaking in French and his English sounds almost native.
German.too, croatian is nativ, /.bosniac, serbian🤣, not to continue, it is funny to divide once same language/ HE speaks italian and Spain top, as well russian and understand
other slaviic languages due to his slavic background. He is very special , has particurally sense of humor too.
He lived in munich when he was little, so thats may be why his german is quite good
0:02 Mesut Ozil

4:40 Kevin De Bruyne
I was expecting zlatan he has played in almost all European leagues
All European leagues played for Zlatan, they should learn Swedish
Thats true he can speak italian french swedish english and probably spanish too
zlatan does not adapt, competitions adapt to zlatan
All his team mates have to speak zlatanese
Simon Gtz yeah and even more
R. I. P lionel messi when he watches this video
xD
the 🐐 speaks football language
he can speak Spanish and Catalan, likely.
Messi speaks spanish, argentinian, mexican, colombian, bolivian,....
@@hombredeesmaranque418 to be fair thats all nearly the same.
I'd like to let y'all know how much I appreciate that you let my man Kevin finally talk. Thank you so much guys.
Still remember De Bruynes one year he spend with us in Bremen. He was still very unknown, but was the main factor for Werder finishing in the top half that season. Would've never guessed that he would rise to become one of the best players in the Premier League. :P
Traurig wie tief Werder mittlerweile gefallen ist. Zum Glück habt ihr noch die Klasse gehalten 💪💪
@@a.e.a. Ja, es sind wirklich finstere Zeiten in Bremen. Die Zeit wo wir in Europa was zu sagen haben sind lange vorbei.
Aber ich finde man sollte seinen Mann stehen, anstatt einfach ein erfolgsfan zu sein.
@@Sparkledash1 Ich hab tatsächlich keinen Lieblingsverein in der Bundesliga, aber die Zeiten als Diego Naldo und Pizarro bei Werder gekickt haben, waren echt geil!! Solange echte Fans weiter hinter der Mannschaft stehen, kann's auch wieder bergauf gehen. Bestes Beispiel ist ja der BVB. Von der Fankultur der Traditionsclubs können Projekte wie Hoffenheim und Leipzig nur träumen. Viel Erfolg aus Mannheim 🤝🤝🤝
When Perisic talked english I didn't saw that He was talking I thought a reporter were asking Something
4:17 perisic looks like robben lol
Don’t u mean Ribery?
@@zackattack3837 no
For me he's looking a bit like Zidane imo.

@@mulemule2730 You clearly don't know as much of football as your name says
But he doesn't speak dutch and played few seasons for Belgian teams.
Nice and really intelligent lads! Love this kind of videos :)
Where is diego forlan?? He speaks english, japanese, portuguese, italian and spanish ( a bit of japanese ) and i think he is one of the latin american players who speaks the best english because he went to a bilingual school when he was a little boy.. You forgot him! He is a very polite man
When you speak 3 languages, you are multilingual.
When you speak 2 languages, you are bilingual.
And when you only speak 1 language, you are FRENCH.
You mean American/English..? Most french speak English too, they just don’t like speaking it
That can by apply to any international language speaker, english french spanish etc
😂
i can speak french but i just dont like speaking it. The french language sounds feminine to me.
CZcams recommandations brought us back again mates!
Most of them have a decent amount of time on their clubs and in that amount of time they manage to learn the language of the country, and its is many many football players that do that yet i don't understand why Bale can't manage to learn/speak fucking spanish
Bale doesn't even speak Welsh. Don't know why he couldn't bother learning Spanish when Beckham did it.
haven't you figured it out by now? Bale is a lazy footballer, if he would have had C.Ronaldo's drive he'd have been the greatest player ever, another one of those with great talent, not met.
British people are so arrogant they don't like to study another language
@@romanknezevic9031 people who speak international languages, of course they think they didn't had to learn foreign language
@@Hazzelnot94 Beckham could barely form a sentence in Spanish after 4 years in Spain.
Ich habe ALLES genoßen! Wonderful to see this. Vielen Dank...thanks very much!
I'm English and not bilingual, but I feel like I understood 80% of Pepe Reina's German
I think he was just learning German at the time so was throwing in a few English-isms because he didn't know the German word. Such as using the -ful suffix, that is an English construct. I don't think they use that in German.
Ain't it so incredible :D
sports is so beautiful. U are learning so much of course the sport but new players (friends), coaches the culture and the language (if u want ^^)
De Bruyne: Let me taaaalk! Let me taaaaaaalk !!
ok reicht Mero Fanboy.
Mero bester Mann alter
Bruder muss groß verpiss dich alter
Das Pepe Reina nach nur einem Jahr so gut deutsch spricht hat mich echt überrascht
I like how Pepe Reina has a slight Scouse accent when he's speaking English 😂
I think he played for Liverpool at some point, that explains the Scouse accent
Belgium has three languages, Dutch, German, and French because of their common border😊
Yeah but hardly anyone speaks 2 languages fluently, let alone 3 languages
German speaking Belgians are an absolute minority
its not because of their common border, but because of different ethnical groups living inside Belgium
attk177 but de bruyne played for Wolfsburg in Germany, plays for city and played for chelsea, and his name sounds Dutch. Probably learnt french on his own and his mum is english
@@nathanswartele7252 I do lol

Wonderful video!!!
I'm happy they let de bruyne talk!
De bruyne looks like a down to earth GENIUS..#HUGE RESPEK
Kevin de Bruyne has it easy, because he's Belgium and in that country they have 3 official languages: French, German and Dutch.
Amazing
Brilliant.
Very impressed by Pepe Reinas german, gramatically there weren't any mistakes. I didn't even remember him playing for Bayern lol
@This is the best name i could come up with You're actually correct.
But you can tell from the interview that this was when he just joined the team, so he's still learned quite fast
You should have pulled the “let me talk!” Video for KDB speaking english footage
Respect!
Mkhitaryan speaks 7 languages
I know. Kudos to him. I didn't want to include him in this video because there are already a plenty of compilation videos of Mkhitaryan speaking various languages. I wanted to create something unique, so I included footballers that people might not know are polyglots.
Definitely not fluently
Error 404 Not Found pretty fluent if you ask me. watch videos of him speaking instead of assuming and you’ll see his fluency in all 7
@@arijuljulian8989 I just watched a video where he speaks German and yes actually it is fluently but I mean not as well as his native language for example the pronunciation is not well but overall it is pretty good
Error 404 Not Found yeah it’s nearly impossible to speak every language equally as well as your native language
belgium german ist such a great combo I got two belgium friends aswell and usually we just speak in english but when its with other friends (that aren't fluent in english) its allways in german and they allways kida sound drunk even before we start drinking XD
Belgians can speak German more fluently when they are drunk than when they are sober 😂
@@mattiascox6111 Dutch and feel exactly the same lool
Here one of those who speaks the most languages was missing. Diego Forlan. Apart from Spanish (obviously), the guy speaks to you in English, Italian, Portuguese and even Japanese.
The better the player the more chance to learn few different languages due to their transfers. To me it's impressive when you visit Balkan countries and meet elderly who didn't go to school at all and yet speak 2 or 3 foreign languages
I am a bit confused with KDB french, but jeez Lovren's french is so nice
the official languages of Belgium are Flemish and French.
His German is really hard to understand as well

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Name unbekannt That's what De Bruyne said. And that means "I don't give a fuck, we won".
De Bruyne is Belgian. This also explains his natural fluency in the different languages even though some other Belgian players may not have it.
He learned German while playing for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, his mom is an English speaker. Plus, he has the French level of a toddler so it has nothing to do with being Belgian, they hardly speak the other language of the country because they don't need it, it's either Dutch or French!
C'est vrai. Je ne l'ai pensé. Je me suis rendu compte en Belgique que l'allemand n'est pas très présent. Néanmoins, beaucoup de gens l'apprennent au lycée et beaucoup de limburgois spécialement parlent l'allemand pour la proximité d'Allemagne et le fait que le limburgois est a demi chemin entre le néerlandais et l'allemand. Mais c'est vrai. La plupart des belges ne parlent pas ou seulement en peu d'allemand.
Ivan Perisic played in France for two years when he was 18 to 20 years old and after that he played two seasons in Club Brugge. I don´t know if he learned some dutch there but he should have learned french during that time?
Oh Pepe Reina, he still maintains his Spanish accent, amazing.
For a Belgian, particularly one from Flanders, to be able to speak French, English, German and Flemish is hardly surprising.

Many of these players are bilingual because they come from mixed families with parents from different countries and sometimes brought up in yet another country. Many of the Croatians were brought up in Germany for example.
