- I had the opportunity to interview Patrick, a man who speaks 13 languages! He tells us about his life and shares tips on how you more easily can learn a language. We have a conversation in Swedish that also lets me prove I speak Spanish.
PATRICK'S CHANNEL: / 5patricko - Komedie
It was a great opportunity to meet up with Erik in Stockholm after having watched all of his amazing videos on his CZcams channel. Hope to see you next time in Lebanon :)
Linguatraveller try Chinese plz. LoL. It's a different language system.
Patrick, could you explain to me and to the rest of the viewers, how is it possible in your case to learn several languages at the same time and how are you able to maintain the knowledge of them? I've seen your multiple language video, from which I've understood you're able to learn at least two languages at the same time (f.ex. Serbian and Romanian). What's your secret giving the fact language learning is time consuming...
I'm not lying, you're one of the most "real" polyglots I've seen on CZcams!!
And Yey! I've just released a video in which I try to speak as well as possible 5 languages :0 | I'll love to hear your feedback on this :D
LEBANONNNNN
That's so cool, he motivated me to learn a new language.
Finally. After 6 months of waiting
Hi Erik! Long time viewer, first time commenter.
You should really consider doing more videos like this! I've begun learning Swedish over the past year, and this video has actually been the most helpful to me out of all the resources I've come across so far. It's really great, the whole setup you have with the close camera mic, the uninterrupted natural conversation, and the text at the bottom edited for clarity. I've watched it several times now, and I'm finding that it's really helping me understand the finer points of pronunciation and flow in Swedish. Watching your other Swedish videos, Duolingo and reading Swedish articles have all helped me, but this feels like a special treat to get to hear and see the "real thing" instead of a contrived thing that's been put together out of context.
Anyway, keep up the good work with your channel in general. Your Swedish videos have been very helpful and a great source of inspiration for me. (they're also very funny and uplifting!)
Ta hand om dig :)

Thank you for your detailed comment! I'm very glad you're learning so much! You learn a lot from a conversation and you writing this makes me realize that even more. The next video will have plenty of interviews (although not as uninterruped as this one), look forward to that one coming in February!
I have been in Sweden in last Summer, it was an amazing experience and i fell in love with the country, especially with Stockholm, but to answer the question, i felt a little uncomfortable sometimes when i was on the metro and i have sat next to a person and suddenly they just walked away, i thought i was stinks or something first, then i have just realised that Swedes are very distant
This is a super interesting video and lots of fun to watch. I am a native English speaker, learned Spanish in school for 8 years, and have recently been studying Swedish. I am planning on studying abroad in Madrid and dream of living in Sweden one day. It's great to watch videos like this where you switch between languages and I really appreciate all the annotations on the subtitles. Thanks for making this video!
Thank you! I hope you follow your plans and dreams!
hej Erik. I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I think they are very practical and well-thought.
for a Hungarian girl looking for fun ways to learn Swedish, your videos are doing the job very well! thanks so much :D would love to see more of these in the future though ✌
I want to give special praise to the great care put into the subtitles. They really catch all the colloquialisms and subtleties in meaning - would be great for a learner.
Jag tycker också att du Erik var en mycket bra samtalspartner! Med tanke på hur awkward det är att kämpa med ett nytt språk så är det guld om den andre är så avslappnad och engagerad som du är här.
Och förstås skall Patrick ha beröm för svenskan! Knäppt att folk byter till engelska tycker jag, speciellt efter att ni pratat i 2-3 minuter som du sa.
Very nice interview....tack så mycket. I try to study Swedish (I studied during Erasmus period in Stockholm several years ago but I forgot a lot) because I love the sound of this language...the sound is very important... I remember the first time I take the underground: "Nästa station Gamla stan"... I start to love swedish listening the voice at the underground.... And when you learn swedish you can understand Norvegian and Dutch as well (maybe Danish, too).
wow, 13 languages- HE IS A SUPER-HUMAN! I was worked 8 months on some technical project in Sweden (Göteborg) and I learn only one Swedish word- öl (beer). I speak English and German (but not perfect). Before I went to Sweden, peoples say to me: >> If you speak English, if you speak German, then you speak Swedish "automatically".
But I think if you speak German, it is easier to learn Swedish since they share around a 40% of the vocabulary (cognates). they are not mutual intelligible tho
He's not superhuman, he said one of the tricks himself: have as much exposure as possible, pay attention, travel, repeat, etc.
I'd add that the more languages you know, the more you can learn because of the language groups: for example: if you speak French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and to some extent, Rmoanian will be easy to learn,
Then, if you speak English and German, Swedish is pretty easy, you just have to learn attentively for a month to be good to go, and then, when you speak Swedish, Norwagian and Danish will be easy to learn( except for the soft 'D' in Danish lol)
@@pandora9092 yeah, the ''d'' Danish is really difficult to pronounce, it is just like the d sound don't want to pronounce, hehe
I love this type of videos😸🙋🇦🇷
Thank you for this video, I think that this kind of video is very helpful for understand how a conversation goes in swedish, I really liked it. Nice work, and I hope to see more, you have talent with the cameras :D
Really love your vlogs!
Amazing Patrick , that's great . Me encantó la entrevista mucho :)
Wow.....hij spreekt 13 talen. Dat is zo geweldig hoor. Thuis spreek ik met mijn ouders hollandse taal. Maar ik spreek ook Duits, Engels, Frans, Italiaans, Spaans en ook Russisch. Ik woon op Surabaya stad, Indonesië. 👍👍👍👍👍
The double captions are so helpful, the Swedish is so much easier to hear when I can read it too. If SVT was as well captioned I might be fluent by now.
This channel is actually incredible. really good content :D
Thank you very much!
hej Erik, jag är så glad att ses att du har en ny video. Jag har kommit från Tyskland och lever nu i Sverige i 2 månader. Liebe Grüße Rebecka
After this interview I consider learning Swedish! Great interview! Congratulations! :)
What a beautiful and colourful place, Erik, where is it? Btw, it's nice to have you back.
It's just the fall, that's it!
So nice to see you again Erik.
More swedish lessons please! I love them :)
HEJJJ YOU ARE BACK ERIK!!👏👏👏👏👏👌👌😁
it felt good when spanish came and i could look away from the sub titles lmfao
yeah, me too. although im brasilian. but i think that that languages are pretty similar.
Yeh his Spanish was almost native level
Erik, I'm a great fan of yours. Really!!! Hope someday I can go to Swede and meet you, man. Hugs.
vad fin! nu lära mig jag svenska, det är en jättefin språk och jag är för glad därför att jag kunde förstår mycket utan undertext eftersom min modersmål är spanska och jag kan engelska också.
Vad fint* Nu kan jag lära mig svenska* Ett jättefint språk* Förstå* Mitt modersmål* :)
@@Anton10895 tack!
They're both too adorable haha
Jag tycker om detta kanal. Materialen var jättebra. Jag hoppas att du kan gor mer videon snart. Jag tror att din spanska var bra också. Vi ses senare . Bra jobbat.
Denna kanalen* Materialet* Göra mer videos* Jag tycker* :)
Tack Erik Edler!
Damn this is incredible!
hey! your videos are very helpful! thanks for the work man
*Tack så jättemycket för denna videon, askul med Svensk producerade videos av denna typen och ännu roligare att höra dem tala svenska!*
*Han är bra på svenska, MEN dock tror jag inte att bara ha en KAVAJ på vintern räcker! XD*
error 404: accent not found(seriously perfect swedish)
Jättebra! I wish I was this fluent in swedish :(. Maybe in a couple of years, lol. I'm coming to sweden by the end of the year, Erik! Finally :D.
Försök att tvinga dig själv att tala svenska så mycket som möjligt med andra svenskar, det är väldigt effektivt.
Try to force yourself to speak Swedish as much as possible with other Swedes, that's very effective. :)
¡Me encantó como hablan Español! Además, ambos son muy guapos
Estoy aprendiendo español en los estados unidos, y durante este vídeo tuve un momento muy difícil porque no estoy acostumbrado a hablar rápido de español.
You should do a video speaking just Spanish, Erik!
Hey erick..it was nice vidio and a lot of mind to me..cause l am learning the swedish languagge and need more listening..tack kompis
Good video! The most important thing in life is knowledge of foreign languages! Thanks to foreign languages you can realize all your dreams and realize your grandiose ambitions!

Muito legal ver pessoas que conseguem se comunicar em vários idiomas...👍👏
Laudemar A.B. hola
Currently learning my 6th and 7th languages, I hope I can soon speak 10+ languages like Patrick !
Al fin nuevo video.
Bernard Goldstein hispanos everywhere xd
Erik please continue update your video when you have time
Que hermosa sorpresa ver esto , leer inglés para aprender sueco y de la nada hablan en español como mi idioma nativo hahahahahaha
It is great how people can talk different languages. When I will go to Stockholm I shouldlike to meet Erik if that is possible. I try to learn swedish with Duolingo. The only thing I am missing is practice with someone.
Muito legal você falar português . Até para mim que sou brasileira é um idioma difícil e rico . Tack!!! 😍😘😘😘
Your video is so useful. It seems like you stopped uploading anymore. When are you coming back?
he is a genius
Amo ver tus vídeos, inspiran a estudiar más idiomas . Saludos de Monterrey, México
It’s really weird how my perception of you guys changed when you switched from one language to the other
Спасибо
Thank you.
He's also has great pronounciaton. I suppose in all the 13 languages. Nice!!
Good pronounciaton, but pretty limited knowledge of words and phrases, it seems.
I think Spanish and English and French and Itillian are so popular in the world! They are so romantically beautiful languages!
Swedish is my sixth language I’m learning !!
Did you just publish it today? wow
That's so cool. I'm can speak 23 languages. Inklusive svenska. Jag talar svenska och vill bo och arbeta i Sverige.
me encanta que hayan hablado en español, en Junio voy a Stockholm😀😀!!! Jag kan pratar lite svenska!! 😀😀😀😀 Saludos desde Chile!
Jaja! Genial, bienvenida =)
Erik Edler Tack så mycket! me encantaria si pudieses subir un nuevo video sobre Estocolmo! 😀😀
Jättefint! jag pratar 4 språk och lär mig svenska också. Så 5 språk redan.
Vad gul !
vällkomen bror
1080p and 60 fps youtube video. Daaaaaaaaaaaaamnnn.
Muy interesante yo también soy hispanohablante pero con acento Bonaerense (es decir de Buenos Aires). ¿Porqué? Porque me gusta tanto el fútbol sobre todo Boca.....and therein lies the the link to Swedish where I am a beginner. Find music a great help to tune me in a walk in the park with a bit of rap and an energy drink often does the trick. Many others, Danish (with Tomas and friends) Hungarian etc, etc, find languages with different scripts Japanese Arabic Russian fantastic and beautiful. ت♡
And I do have a question Erik , why does it takes “a lot” of time for you to make a video? , I understand that it takes a time to editing and retaking scenes , just asking I’m not questioning your freedom of making o not video , by the way lots of greeting from Greenland
Thanks for the greetings from Greenland, you're the first, naturally. I don't upload like the youtubers. Even though I often have the idea already clear of what the next video will be about, I record and edit when I feel I'm motivated about it. I'm sure the quality clearly shines through as of that. Anyway, the next video I'll upload in February, so hold on just a little longer.
¡Hola! ¿Eres español?
Wow sometimes you even got that enoying Stockholm accent. Couple of words that tho are swedish, but Norwegians are using these days. Havetobe hard to distinguish Swedish and Norwegians. Great job
My languages are English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Dutch, German, Latin, Romanian, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Russian, Polish, Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, Hungarian, Finnish, Japanese, and Mandarin, but I'm not fluent in all 22 of them. Care to guess how many I AM fluent or proficient in, and which ones? ;-)
I speak 10 languages and I really wanna learn Swedish
What do you think about some language chalenge ?
suddenly I started to understand every word they said, so i thought: oh, im such a fluent swedish speaker! But they were speaking in spanish... lmao
Jajajaja
Cebuano
Filipino
English
Japanese
Korean
and hopefully I can add Svenska in the list
did he say something about the methods he used to speak Swedish so fluently and to develop his listening ability?? He sounds like if he had been practising Swedish for years with native speakers...
Why do the Swedish subtitles not always match whats said in Swedish?
On a few occasions I changed them for a more Swedish structure!
*trying not to read the Swedish subtitles because I'm learning Norwegian and I don't want to confuse my brain.*
Jesus that Swedish is pretty fucking good xD
I have a question. In Learn Swedish, Lesson 5 czcams.com/video/bAn4y3X1TrE/video.htmlm52s at the end, Erik has a song by Petter called 'Leva & Dö'. I am translating this song's lyrics in English. I need someone's help with this one little part:
Just before the chorus, the artist says things like "my air is yours, you are welcome in... etc" Then, I think they say, "Det är bara andas in." does this mean "Just breathe in." or "It's just breathing in." Or something else? Thanks!
Edit: here is a link to the full song: czcams.com/video/p2ygWxzzF0c/video.html
Hi! Ambitious to translate it! Lyrics can be poetic and hard to understand in any language. It means "just breathe in". I haven't analyzed the lyrics really, but I suppose it's about being true to yourself and others, believing in yourself and follow your dreams and make them true. Take the others with you and everyone will win.
Erik Edler Thanks Erik! Yes, as you said, song lyrics may not be the best tool for learning a language, but I find that they are a nice change of pace from lesson books, vocab lists, TV shows, and novels. Often times I feel that lines/phrases from a song hold a more permenant place in my memory than lines/phrases from a novel, for example. Thanks for the diligent reply !!
I'm impressed by the Serbian and Greek. If he is from an Moroccan Arabic family, French and Arabic would be his first two languages. Then languages related to Arabic or Romance languages would be natural.
i will hold more than 32 languages one day, including english and my mother tongue
*HYPER*polyglot
hey Erik could you do a Swedish stereotype video XD
there is a rly strange "R". It is normaly "R" like in norwegian or slavic languages, or german R?
bah tchê, barbaridade, e eu sei lá se esse marmanjo fala mundão dos cão de tudo, caraca, valha me cristo 😱😱😱😱😱😱
Erik do you have any other social media , that we could contact and communicate with you ?
Wish Erik is on Grindr!!!
In the video I say you should talk with the Swedes, so your question is definitely motivated. I, however, don't plan on engaging in contacts around the world, other than youtube. I'm sorry!
Erik would get so many hits on Grindr that his app would be constantly crashing!
How many languages is he fluent in and what evidence can he offer to proove that bility?
I can only speak 7, from the most to the least fluently:
Portuguese
German
English
Dutch
Spanish
Italian
French
I can read and understand romanian, swedish, norwegian and danish, but danish is the most difficult to understand cos it sounds like a different dialekt from norwegian to me.
Only 7?!
I speak only German (my mothertongue
A little bit of English and russian
And will learn Dutch
Jeg ville si at norsk og svensk er dialekter :) Yo solo hablo cuatro languas fluidamente, pero también aprendí latin y griega antigua - pero eso no vale nada, weil niemand diese Sprachen mehr aktiv spricht. Sie helfen aber damit, europäische Sprachen zu sprechen (I can understand Portuguese for example, because just like Spanish it derives from Latin). Jag talar också litt svenska, italienska och franska :) Et je veux apprende plus langues, zum Beispiel Japanisch.
Where are you from linguatraveller?
Svenska och norska är inte olika språk, de är en del av ett skandinaviska dialektkontinuum. Ja de klassificeras olika formellt för att skriftspråken är separerade men det krävs i princip ingenting att lära sig 'de andra språken' i kontinuumet vilket gör att alla i Skandinavien rätt lätt kan få +2 på sin lista.
Cool like if you like ERIK and will know that lot of languages xD
I miss Finnish language
臺灣
900th like!
I got rejected by the polyglot community in my hometown :'))
I come from 2020: spoiler alert! Chinese did not become the lingua franca
First to comment in this awesome video
xD
Hey, jag har lar mej svenska pa online. jag alsker svenska ochsa
2020 china sax 😂😂😂
I don't think Mandarin will ever be a lingua franca. English is influential today mostly because of the exportation of British and American pop culture and now internet culture. So unless things change and China wants to open it self up to the world, the Chinese will continue to learn English to do business with the world.
Hey littlebrother your good but you need to check out Loashu a fellow youtuber and polyglot.
Jealous I only can speak 6 ; Spanish, portuguese, Italian, Japanese, English, french
Maybe Swedish soon!
Erik Edler I wish! And Your lessons help me a lot ! Thank you very much for these amazing and helpful lessons!
+Lourenco Marinho
The average person can speak 2 or possibly 3 languages, and that's if English isn't their native language.
If you know 6 languages then you are well above average.
6:14 - 6:19 I think the opposite's happening lmao.
Man märker verkligen hur complex svenska är för vi i Sverige hör direkt om en människa inte har pratar svenska sen födseln
its now 2021, almost 2022, and China definitely isn't the leading economy lol
