- YOU CAN SKIP THE INTRO BY JUMPING TO 2:05 (REMEMBER TO ACTIVATE SUBTITLES!)
Hi everybody, my name's Stefano and this is my Language Snapshot 2017, my first-ever video for CZcams, and despite some cuts it's still quite... long! Skip the introduction (2:05) if you want to listen directly to the other languages.
Languages spoken:
00:25 English
02:20 German
04:11 Portuguese
05:28 French
07:30 Finnish
09:19 Spanish
10:18 Japanese
12:24 Romanian
14:17 Italian
14:45 (Mandarin and Icelandic, only one sentence each)
Further notes:
- this video was recorded in Apr. 2017 on two different days and at different times of day, so I apologize for the sudden changes in lighting (whoever has spent some time in Brussels knows just how it is like here :D).
- This is a long overdue video and I'd like to thank all my friends (not only polyglots!) for their encouragement to finally reach out and join in...
- While I am aware of some mistakes that I made in this video, I do appreciate corrections because these can make me a better speaker, thank you in advance for your help.
- A couple of things in these video are already "old", in that the most recent Polyglot Gathering was in Bratislava at the beginning of June this year, I was there as well and it was a lot of fun! Also, in the meantime I've been in Romania for the third time and I loved it once again, had many opportunities to practice the language and (hopefully) improved my conversational skills (still need to work A LOT on my vocabulary though).
- I promise that my next videos will be much, much shorter... :)

So many comments about your Finnish skills. As you can see, we Finns rarely see or meet people who speak Finnish yet don't live in Finland. It's always a miracle to see someone who speaks even a bit, but to see someone speak as well as you is almost unheard of, if we don't count the people living here of course.
I am flattered by the kind comments and they encourage me to keep going, but I do know that I still have a lot to learn and that learning never ends :)
I highly recommend learning Dutch / Old Norse + Icelandic / Norwegian which are one of the prettiest and most refined / unique / melodic / gorgeous / distinctive / poetic languages ever, as they are as pretty as English and are one of those languages that are just too pretty not to know, being the prettiest languages ever and a true work of art, and also Gothic / Danish / Faroese / Welsh / Breton / Galician / Hungarian / Gallo etc, they are all gorgeous languages with almost only pretty words, and German and Swedish and Luxembourgish and the Frisian languages and all other Germanic languages and the other 4 modern Celtic languages (Cornish / Manx / Irish / Scottish Gaelic) and Slovene and Pretarolo / Walloon / Sardinian / Esperanto / Latin / Occitan etc are also gorgeous, so they are all super fun to learn and a great option, so I highly recommend learning them all or any of them / some of them etc - I always choose languages based on their prettiness / how many pretty words they have and on how organized their aspect is, and the languages I am learning are mostly category 1 languages and category 2 languages and a few category 3 languages, so they are also easy to learn, and I have over 50 languages on my list of languages I want to learn and improve, plus I am already writer level in English and native speaker level in Spanish, having learned these two languages passively in / since childhood, which is definitely a huge advantage, and when it comes to the newer languages that I started learning on my own about one year ago, I am learning 15+ languages at the same time because it saves a lot of years and decades and also because learning multiple pretty languages at the same time makes the learning process a lot more fun, and I am advanced level in Dutch, close to advanced level in Norwegian, close to intermediate level in Norse / Icelandic / Welsh, intermediate level in German / Swedish / French / Portuguese / Italian, beginner level in Breton / Hungarian / Slovene / Danish / Faroese / Gothic, and total beginner in most other languages, and I can say that language learning is one of my favorite hobbies, and the learning process itself is very enjoyable, because seeing all the pretty words and always discovering more new pretty words (which are a true work of art) brings a lot of joy to the eye / ear, so learning so many pretty languages is also very motivating in itself!
Re difficulty level, Finnish is an easy category 2 language with a relatively simple aspect and a very easy category 1 pronunciation, tho not as easy to learn as Hungarian and Icelandic etc, and Icelandic / Norse / Gothic etc and the other ancient Germanic languages are the easiest category 2 languages in spelling with an easy category.1 pronunciation and a word memorability similar to that of the words from the prettiest and easiest category 1 languages like English / Dutch / Norwegian etc, because Norse words and Icelandic words etc are just as pretty as English / Dutch / Norwegian words, and one’s hern / mind tends to naturally learn and remember the prettier and more distinctive words faster, so technically, the prettier the language and the more pretty words it has, the easier it is to learn / memorize its words, as the prettier a word is, the less repetitions it takes - most Hungarian words are super pretty and are comparable to Germanic words’ prettiness level, same as the words from the modern Celtic languages, so Hungarian words are easier to memorize than most Finnish words, even though they are both agglutinative languages, which means that, they have a similar format or aspect, and, the prepositions are referred to as postpositions and are added to the end of the nouns and written as one word, so agglutinative languages may seem harder to a beginner that isn’t used to languages that have this type of format and grammar, but once one understands how agglutinative languages work, it’s pretty easy to use them, and I am actually learning both Hungarian and Finnish, so I am kind of used to the format as I’ve known these languages for a long time, and I understand how they work, but qua word memorability itself, most Finnish words take more repetitions (to become part of the permanent memory and automatic memory) than most Hungarian words in general because most Finnish words aren’t as pretty as most Hungarian words are, but many of them are still pretty and lots of them are neutral, so it shouldn’t be too hard to learn overall, especially when compared to the hardest languages ever such as Chinese (category 10) and Arabic (category 9) and Japanese / Thai / Vietnamese (Category 8) etc which are impossible to learn to true fluency with impossible scripts and characters and super complicated pronunciation with tones etc that only have very few pretty words and are naturally very hard to memorize, so I would say, it would be possible to get fluent in languages such as Finnish and Estonian in a few years, maybe 5 or 6 years, and in language like Hungarian in about 3 years or more, depending on one’s learning methods and on how much time one spends learning languages etc...
However, Icelandic and the other Germanic / Norse languages could be learnt to fluency in 2 or 3 years or even faster, because Germanic languages are naturally super easy to learn and the easiest languages with the most organized aspect, so most Germanic words naturally take way less repetitions than the words from most other languages, and the modern Celtic words such as Welsh / Breton words etc are also super memorable, like Germanic words, as they are quite similar, so I can automatically remember most Germanic words and most Celtic words after seeing them less then 5 or 6 times, and most Dutch / Norse / Icelandic / Norwegian / Welsh / Breton words after seeing them 2 or 3 to 5 times, as they are naturally very memorable (they naturally stand out, being super well-constructed with great letter combinations and gorgeous word endings that make the words so perfect and give them that perfect flow and harmony) and they tend to stick to the hern like glue! I have already learnt over 2.000 words in Icelandic and in Norse and over 8.500 base words in Dutch and over 5.000 words in Norwegian and over 1.000 words in Welsh and about 500 words in Breton etc without even trying too hard, and I only started learning languages on my own one year ago, and a few months ago I started focusing on Norse languages more, plus I am doing 15+ languages at the same time, so I know that these languages are very easy to learn and memorize and easy to get used to! English is the most expressive language and the easiest to use tho, as it was designed that way and also oversimplified on purpose, so it’s very important that one never try comparing one’s level in other languages to the level of fluency one has in English, because one could never express ideas in any other languages as one can in English, because English is the easiest language ever and the easiest to use and the easiest to think in and the easiest in every other way, and also because English has a lot more words and idioms / phrases / slang etc and descriptive terms than any other language, so one can express ideas in English in very detailed ways that aren’t possible in other languages, so one who learns languages should know not to compare one’s level and fluency etc in other languages to the level and fluency one has in English, as this can make one feel less motivated because one is always going to be able to express things in English very easily and with a fluency and accuracy that isn’t really possible in other languages!
Old Norse is one of the prettiest languages I’ve ever seen, it has real gorgeous words like erfiði / yfir / haf / vindr / dyn / skegg / dróttinn / veit / drengr / fjall / hǫnd / fisksins / lengr / hvassir / rauðr / hvarr / grænn / hvat / líkligr / hǫss / afi / frændi / heitir / veð / hráka / þó / kvern / mælti / hét / setja / hinn / kveða / sinn / leið / brott / knerri / við / dýr / með / heyra / eða etc, and the word endings (like nir and inn and sins etc) and the letter combinations are so pretty, just like the word endings and letter combinations in English and Dutch and Norwegian, and it’s very similar to Icelandic, words cannot express how pretty and poetic Norse / Icelandic / Germanic words are, technically, every Germanic language is a real work of art, and Norse + Icelandic are so magical and elvish, just like Dutch / English / Norwegian, real special languages, so they are super fun to learn - I can’t stop learning new pretty words in Old Norse and Icelandic (and the other pretty languages) and they are really áddìctive to look at and read and hear in lyrics etc, I’ve been listening to Skáld songs in Old Norse and Icelandic since I found the first song in Old Norse (Troll Kalla Mik) and I’ve memorized most of those lyrics!
Your Finnish put a huge smile to my face, you spoke it so well I can't believe it :D You should be very very proud of yourself man!! All that just learning by yourself, absolutely amazing.
It is messages like yours that make my day... KIITOS KOVASTI! This is also a big, big encouragement to make more videos in Finnish in the near future - I honestly can't wait because, as I mentioned, it's been my favorite language for quite some time now, so it's going to be a pleasure :)
@@linguaEpassione ciao Stefano,dai che impari anche armeno. La mia mandre lingua. Almeno alcuni frasi. Mi interessa se ce la fai 😊
Grazie ti auguro tutto bene,🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Suomi.... Tarja Turunen, Tuomas Holopainen, Mikka Hakkinen etc.
Очень хорошее видео. Спасибо.
As a Finn I'm telling you your Finnish is really amazing you sound 95% of the time like a native
OMG that's so cool to hear - thank you VERY much!
Holy shit, your German is perfect, never seen a polyglot who really went into that much detail when learning a language
Danke Janco, Deutsch war ja meine allererste, echte, tiefgründige Liebe... was Sprachen angeht, natürlich! :)
Wau! Suomen kieli sujui tosi hyvin.
Tosi kiva että jaksoit katsoa ja paljon kiitoksia että kommentoit!
Kiitos, että teet videoita. Niitä on mukava katsoa. Tee lisää näitä ja ota myös suomalainen puolisosi mukaan videoille. :)
Olin tosi ymmälläni itsekin, koska sinulla on hädin tuskin mitään vierasta aksenttia! Hienoa duunia!!
Noniin, eiksniin, yks. Sanoja mitä moni ulkomaalainen ei käyttäisi. Taitava olet!
PERKELE
I'm also a polyglot, and I love how our personalities change with each language. I could see the transition in you with each language. My favorite language is Italian and then French. I would love to learn more Japanese and Korean.
Thank you so much! I love your comment because I also like the way we tend to change our attitude (if not our personality) depending on which language we are using. It's cool that you noticed that, especially because we don't really do that consciously.
I love it too! It's so interesting 😊
Meanwhile me
”I can say hello in 20 different languages!”
あなたの日本語の発音はほとんど完璧です。文法は少しミスはありますがほとんど気にならないレベルです。
La tua pronuncia giapponese è quasi perfetta veramente. Grazie mille per imparare la nostra lingua.
😍😍日本語を勉強することが大好き 😍😍
At last your Japanese isn't so good! But as you said we must keep practicing!
Your Finnish is awesome!
I really appreciate your comment, thank you for stopping by!
You're welcome! Also looking forward to your progress in Mandarin! 加油
I will definitely post more videos concerning my progress in Mandarin and Icelandic as well, also as a way to make myself accountable and keep my motivation up - work's getting in the way right now but that's the kind of encouragement I was looking for, 谢谢你 :)
your finnish is perfect
I decided to learn Romanian after I went to the castle Bran and heard the guide speak Romanian. I fell in love with the language immediately :)
any progress? :DD
Meine Muttersprache ist Rumänisch. Bin neugierig wie sehen deine Fortschritte aus.
Thx bro
I am romanian and i learn english and german
Beispiel: Wie geht es Ihnen? Ich liebe Deutsch
I have been fascinated with Romanian since middle school but I only know a few words. I might start learning it just because it sounds so cool! Right now I speak Swedish, Finnish and English fluently and can get by and make myself somewhat understood in a few more
Ei hitto jätkä puhuu parempaa suomee kun joku joka on asunut 10 vuotta Suomessa! Hard work pays off...
O teu português é incrivelmente bom, e para mais o teu sotaque português roça a perfeição. Não só é raro num italiano, como em qualquer estrangeiro que aprende português (que por norma têm muito mais facilidade com o sotaque brasileiro). Os meus parabéns, e inveja pelas tuas habilidades com idiomas!
DAAAAMM!!! Sinä kuulostat ihan suomalaiselta!! En ikinä ole kuullut kenenkään, joka puhuu suomea toisena kielenä puhuvan suomea noin hyvin ja vielä ilman aksenttia! Ja olet näköjään myös omiksunut suomalaisten tapoja, sillä kun puhuit muilla kielillä äskettäin, niin hymyilit paljon. Kun taas vaihdoit suomen kieleen, niin olit todella vakava. 😂 xD
People like you make me believe that at some point i really can be fluent in the languages im currently learning, like russian, farsi (persian), swedish and english. Please make more videos like this and also make a video with your gf at some point!
Voi että, miten kiva kommenti, kiitoksia oikein paljon! :) Mulle on kyl sanottu, että ääneni ja eleeni muuttuu, kun vaihdan kieltä, ja että oon suomalaistunut ajan myötä... Ja nyt kun sanoit sen, huomaan, että ero esim. espanjaan on aika iso! :D
Joo alkoi oikein itseänikin naurattaa miten muuttu tuo elekieli, tuli heti sellainen "Matti Meikäläinen" mieleen :D Pitkään miettinyt pitäiskö alkaa opetteleman jotain kieliä ja katellu aina silloin tällöin tälläsiä videoita mutta en vielä ole saanut kerättyä motivaatiota tarpeeksi. Ehkä jonain päivänä.
Anteeksi vaan mutta minä en ole suomalainen, olen espanjalainen ja puhun suomea tosi hyvin koska se on mun äitin kieli
Mut se on ihan totta, hän puhuu tosi tosi hyvin
Your Finnish is amazing! Never heard any stranger speaking it so well!
OMG ootko tosissas?!?! :D Kiitos oikein paljon mukavasta kommentista, sellasta on tosi kiva kuulla :)
Ei tarvii kirjoittaa englanniks ku tää osaa suomee
German is absolutely perfect. Native level spoken...
du hast keinen einzigen grammatikalischen fehler gemacht während du deutsch gesprochen hast, was seeehr schwer ist. Sehr gut!!
Danke, dass Du Dir die Zeit genommen hast, Serena! :)
Das stimmt! Das war sehr beeindruckend! Weiter so :D
Er spricht auch meine Muttersprache fasg fehlerlos, die er gerade mal vor paar Monaten angefangen hat. Er ist eine Genie :)
Meus parabéns, seu português é incrível. Sou brasileiro mas boa parte da minha família é de Portugal, e devo dizer que tu falas praticamente como tuga!
A sério? Muito obrigado Bruno, é um verdadeiro prazer ouvir isso! Agradeço teres tirado um pouco do teu tempo para escutares!
Sou português e a tua pronúncia é mesmo muito boa
I am seriously blown away by this. Your Finnish is perfect. Good job, you're so talented!
Kiitos että jaksoit katsoa =) Aion tehdä myös videon kokonaan suomeksi, toivottavasti pian!
Hyvä!
Tu español es perfecto. Me encantó cómo hasta tu personalidad cambiava con cada idioma, en especial el japonés. A mi pasó lo mismo con el francés y el portugués. No me gustaban pero ahora los quiero aprender, les tomé el gusto, en especial al portugués. Y no me atraía el japonés pero después de verte hablarlo me dieron ganas de probar. Y sólo como nota, tengo un crush enorme con tu idioma materno, el italiano. Me produce tantas cosas lindas oírlo y hablarlo. Gracias. Me inspiraste.
You are a very talented person. I'm from Italy and I can't recognize any regional accent in your Italian speech. Wow. Bravo!
He's italian
@@carlosluis820 Yeah but he is speaking in perfect italian, usually italians speak with their regional accent
extro76 🤔 senza nulla togliere al suo talento, ma davvero non hai notato “témpo, dicéndo, quèsta, ecc.”?
En ole koskaan kuullut ulkomaalaisen puhuvan näin hyvin suomea! Hyvää työtä! :)
Vau... Kiitoksia oikein paljon! B-)
Das ist das zweite Video von dir, das ich anschaue und ich bin bereits ein 100% Fan :) du hast eine so charismatische Art, dass man das Video einfach bis zum Schluss gucken muss! :)
Româna ta este foarte bună, te descurci cu mult peste alții! Mă bucur că ai ales să înveți română pentru că nu multe persoane învață limba noastră :) Sper să ai ocazia să practici limba română cât mai mult!
Mulțumesc frumos Snowy! Și eu mă bucur că am ales română pentru că am descoperit o limbă foarte frumoasă și o țară foarte interesantă, cu o historie fascinantă!
linguaEpassione ai fost la Cluj ! Eu stau în Cluj
Sa vii si vara la noi la constanta la mare
Your French and German are pretty much flawless. Your Spanish is also pretty great. Really impressive that you speak fluently languages like Japanese and Finnish.
Your Finnish is by far the best of all polyglots who speak Finnish that I have heard. Good job!
OMG kiitos!!!
If I may ask...: oletko suomalainen? それとも日本人の方ですか？
linguaEpassione Olen natiivi suomalainen, mutta asun tällä hetkellä Japanissa.
Samaa mieltä, lähes täydellistä. Luonnollisuutta vielä lisäsi ilmaukset kuten "eiksnii, siis ja noniin"
Dein Deutsch ist aber toll! Ich bin nur B1 aber ich konnte eigentlich alles verstehen, du sprichst super klar. Tu Español suena perfecto a pesar de lo que mencionaste, no percibí ninguna falta gramatical.
I cannot judge your Finnish, but I'm very used to listen the language and your accent is spot on. Your Portuguese sounds also great. In general you manage each accent awesomely.
Deepdarkmidnight D.D.M. Ja, oder? 😁
Great Job Stefano! We're proud of you!
I love learning languages myself, and this is truly inspiring! Keep up the good work!

Foarte frumos! Mulțumesc pentru interesul acordat limbii române. :)
Și eu mulțumesc pentru mesajul tău, Madalina! Nu doar limba română este frumoasă, dar și țara este minunată! Luna trecută am fost în România pentru a treia oară, a fost super!
La Brașov ai fost? :)
Încă n-am fost la Brașov, din păcate... Dar este mai un motiv să mă duc în România încă o dată!
Te aștept, dacă dorești pot fi ghidul tău. :)
linguaEpassione Din moment ce ai fost in Timișoara atunci trebuie sa știi că acolo e cel mai fain :)
The way you speak finnish is freaking impressive man, you are incredible!
Sei un mito, Stefano! Como já te falei, o seu português é sempre impressionante. Welcome to the online community, my friend :)
Oi Fabricioooo! Non farmi dire niente sul tuo italiano, che è pure meglio! ;D Agradeço muito teres deixado um comentário aqui, sabes que para mim conhecer-te foi um dos aspectos mais positivos do Gathering em Bratislava! ;D
I love hearing origin stories about how polyglots came to learn each language, and what inspired them.
This instantly made it into in my mental Top 10 videos on the entire CZcams. Such a love of languages, such musicality (since after all music and language are understood as one by our brains :) ), and such a lovely energy and charisma about you. I can only wish to become more like you in my polyglottic endeavours, and wish for you to inspire others with your passion. Sto imparando pure io la bella lingua italiana, sicuramente vale la pena! :) Saluti dalla Romania!
Your comment instantly made it into my Top-10 comments on my entire channel! ;-) THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH, your appreciation and kind words are a great encouragement to keep it up and to continue sharing this passion of mine. Finché quello che faccio può essere d'ispirazione per altre persone, ho una ragione in più per continuare :) Îți mulțumesc din suflet pentru mesaj și sper să poți găsi mai multe videoclipuri care îți plac. Întretimp am continuat să învăț limba română care a devenit una dintre limbile mele preferate :)
Holy hell my mouth dropped when I heard your Finnish?! I'm a bilingual Finn (Finnish & Swedish) but also speak Japanese and I am so impressed?? Your Finnish has an insanely natural, nativelike connotation and flow. I believe the difficulty in learning Japanese and Finnish is that both languages are very culturally bound, meaning that the language rotates around the cultures heavily. Also I think for non-native speakers phonetics are not that easy, but you are doing a great job! I'm sure if you lived in Japan for a short while you'd sound native in no time. Based on your Icelandic you'd pick up any other Nordic language too! 👏👏👏
Vau, kiitos kovasti tosi mukavasta kommentista!!! Comments like yours encourage me to continue learning and sharing this passion of mine (and of many many other people) even more! I really appreciate you taking the time. Se mitä sanot suomesta ja japanista on kyllä totta: kulttuuri on NIIN tärkeä tekijä.
Hui yllätyin ja olen ihan järkyttynyt miten hyvältä sun suomi kuulostaa! 😍 Aivan mahtavaa!
Voi kuinka mukava kommentti, kiitos!
とても綺麗な日本語の発音です！
「へぇ〜！」とか感嘆詞も日本語で出るのが凄い！
Olin vaihto-oppilas Suomessa Joensuussa 9 vuotta sitten. Sinun suomen ääntäminen on mahtavaa!
I speak Japanese, English and a little bit of Finnish. Your video motivates me so much! Great work!👏
アンナさん、コメント本当にありがとうございます！フィンランド語が上手ですね！
Kiitos kovasti, että jaksoit katsoa ja kommentoida, ja oikein kivaa, että videoni sai olla hyödyllinen :)
A year ago I watched this video because I was learning languages but I had to interrupt it due to personal issues, now I'm back and ready to go back to learning and this is once again as inspiring and impressive as the first time! Btw your Spanish sounds very good but this video is old! I need to watch any recent videos that you have! Thanks for the inspiration
Wow, thanks a bunch for such a kind comment, man! I wish you all the best on your language learning journey!
You're such an inspiring person! I myself love languages too. And the way you learnt french is basically how I learnt portuguese! I never studied it I just immitated people and once I got confident enough I started speaking it to people.
Como!! Português perfeito, nem estava à espera. E fico feliz por ter aprendido o Português de Portugal! Grande inspiração para quem está a aprender línguas.
Que prazer receber a sua mensagem, agradeço muito mesmo!!!
I'm Lebanese. Honestly you are truly inspiring !!. Very few have studied that many languages !!, you even spoke so well just as a native speaker of those 9 different countries. I know Arabic, French, and English well, and now I'm learning Russian. I already have some knowledge about it. I'm also interested in learning Italian and Turkish which I'll hope to learn in the future, by the way I want to study translation at the university after a couple of years. And umm, just like I said, you're interesting and cool !!!!
Oh my!! your French is so good!! the other languages too!! You're really good!!! :D Tu me motives beaucoup pour apprendre des langues (l'allemand pour le moment). Bonne continuation !! ;)
Merci Nicolas, je suis vraiment ravi d'entendre ça! Bonne chance pour tes études!
Veramente impressionante! Hai tantissimo da insegnare alla community su CZcams e hai veramente un grande talento (e soprattutto voglia di fare!) nell'imparare le varie lingue. Complimenti! Spero che tu possa parlare bene tutte quelle che t'interessano :) (anche io sto imparando qualche lingua ma tu sei a un livello stratosferico, Chapeau!)
Grazie Luca, apprezzo molto il tuo commento! In bocca al lupo anche a te per i tuoi studi!
A really great video, Stefano! I love that you didn't just read from a script, as is the case with many of these videos. I tried to learn Finnish, too, but didn't get past the first five chapters of my textbook. I like to tell myself that I didn't give up, just chose to continue at a more opportune time!
Thank you so much Hana! I really appreciate the "not just read from a script" part in your comment, I'm so thankful for that! And yours is a good way to think, in my opinion: never give up, always keep the right doors open ;)
I love watching other polyglots because of their accents for each language! As a polyglot, I know for sure that accents are hard. Getting the right accent to be understandable in a language takes a while. But when we speak languages, we kinda have our own accents based on our first language and mixtures of other languages. It's good to hear. I love it.
I love this video! But what makes this even better is that you seem to do this because you love languages, and not to show off.
I can't express how much I appreciate your comment... Somehow that's very important to me and I am so, so happy that you mentioned it. Thanks for stopping by and for the very nice comment!!!
Caríssimo Stefano, a sua aprendizagem da língua de Camões produziu excelentes resultados! Sou de Lisboa e posso dizer que o Stefano muito facilmente se faria compreender em Portugal(e em países lusófonos também). Muitos parabéns, bravo!
Just amazing! Let me add my kudos on your Finnish to the previous ones. I can't believe how you've accomplished such a natural accent.
Wow, thanks Henry, such comments really give a lot of confidence to keep trying harder and harder - cheers mate!
Complimenti per gli accenti (per le lingue che conosco, naturalmente)! Io sono riconoscibile dopo una frase per quel che riguarda la mia provenienza (anche con l'italiano, a volte) :S
Grazie per il commento e davvero complimenti per il tuo canale, sei molto bravo :D
Muito bom. Eu estudo 4 idiomas e quero chegar nesse nivel .parabéns você é uma inspiração para todos que estudam um novo idioma.
Agradeço muito o seu comentário, ainda mais motivação para continuar! :)
Your Finnish is amazing, it's difficult to get the correct rhythm to the language especially as it is very different to most. Wonderfully spoken and also your English is brilliant!:)
¡Hola, Stefano! Como llego más de un año tarde a este hermoso video, seguro que lo que te voy a decir ya te lo dijeron antes, pero no importa, ahí va: ¡Tu español es excelente! :D No hubo nada de portuñol, fue todito castellano claro, muy bien pronunciado y supercomprensible. Este video es una fuente de inspiración para los amantes de los idiomas que venimos detrás tuyo. Saludos y abrazo desde Argentina.
Muchas gracias Emmanuel! Este tu comentario es una fuente de inspiración para mi para que sigue teniendo confianza en mi castellano aunque no lo hable casi jamás. Un abrazo desde Bélgica y otra vez muchas, muchas gracias!
Cuando quieras practicar español o algún otro idioma, ¡contá conmigo! 🗣💬👍
Stefano, o seu português é excelente e o sotaque também. Aliás você soa como um português nativo. Muito bem.
Aivan mahtavaa! Puhut suomea todella hyvin. Ääntämisesi on aivan loistavaa ja puhut myös puhekieltäkin
Kiitti Aapo! Kiva ku jaksoit kommentoida ja kyl puhekieliki on tosi tärkee jos haluu integroida suomalaisten kaa ;) Valitettavasti se on melkein ikään kuin pitäis oppii kokonaan eri kielt :)) (Oliko tää jotenki ok puhekieleks?)
Wow, en verdad quedé impresionada con tu español! Yo soy de México y obviamente noté que tienes ese pequeño acento castellano pero en serio tu español es impresionantemente bueno! Te felicito! Me alegraría mucho saber que en el futuro te des la oportunidad de seguir aprendiendo español y tal vez en un futuro poder viajar a un país de Latinoamérica o a España si así lo deseas. Me encantó tu video ♡
Muchas, muchas gracias! Estoy muy feliz que mi video te haya gustado, y puedo decirte que a mi me encantó tu comentario! :) Me infundes confianza en un idioma que no tengo muchas oportunidades para practicar activamente - otra vez muchas gracias por tu tiempo!
Complimenti Stefano! In bocca al lupo per tutto! :)
Your Romanian is Amazing
Mulțumesc, Mario!
Robert Martin mai are de invatat dar e pe drumul cel bun! Felicitari!
Amazing! I am Italian and I am a polyglot too. Your Portuguese is excellent! I tried to learn the basics of Portuguese some years ago, but now I think my Portuguese needs brushing up because I haven't spoken it for a long time. You can speak Finnish , Romanian and Japanese too. Genius!
WOW! Kannatti eksy CZcamsen taas. :) Kuten muutkin ovat jo täällä todenneet, puhut ihan älyttömän hyvin suomea! On uskomatonte, että olet kaiken lisäksi oppinut sen aivan itse. xO
Tämä videosi antoi minulle uutta motivaatiota jatkaa japanin kielen itsenäistä opiskelua. Oli mukava huomata, että ymmärsin suurin piirtein, mitä sanoit. :)
I hope you keep making videos in the future. This made my day! :)
Vau, ja sun kommentti teki mun "day" :) Kiitoksia oikein paljon että jaksoit katsoa ja jopa kirjoittaa sellaisen inspiroivan kommentin - aion kyllä tehdä ainakin pari videota kokonaan suomeksi, nyt kun vihdoinkin mulla on pikkasen enemmän aikaa, eli stay tuned :)
linguaEpassione I will. :)
Your speaking skills in all those languages are impressive! Also, you seem so natural in your first video. My first ever video in English was a mess haha.
Hey Kamila, thanks so much for stopping by and for your kind words! I've heard a lot about you from our mutual friend - keep up the good work :)
Do you ever feel or realize the "tone" differences between languages? As Spanish and Italian sound a lot "happier" languages than Finnish mostly. :D Keep it up man that was amazing.!
Wow, you're amazing! :D You get the accents of the languages very well! E o teu português é verdadeiramente incrível! Sou português, e também adoro falar línguas estrangeiras. :) Estás à vontade para praticar o teu português comigo (e em troca praticaria o meu italiano, ahah)! Um abraço! ;)
Olá Flavio! Em primeiro lugar, obrigadíssimo pelo comentário tão amável! Em segundo lugar, eu estaria sim interessado num intercambio de línguas, e porque não pt-it contigo? :) Não sei se existe um sistema de mensagens privadas aqui no YT, mas se quiseres e tiveres tempo, contacta comigo e vamos falar!
De nada! :D Fiquei muito contente por ver um italiano a aprender português! :) Por mim seria perfeito esse intercâmbio! :D Come possiamo fare? Abbracci dal Portogallo! ;)

Just found you and subscribed.Keep up the good work. I am an English native speaker that just learned German nicht perfekt aber genug. I am also learning Italian and I speak Spanish fluently.This video encouraged me. Thank you
Thanks so much. This Polyglot idea changed my life so much. Language is simply a key to soooo many things. It pushed me to an extend İ couldnt dream of before. And just by the way İ even learnt to love my native language German, which I didnt before.
I'm so, so happy to hear that :) Thank you for watching and commenting! I've looked at your channel, congratulations, you're doing a great job there!
Wow! Sinun suomi on tosi hyvää! Kuulostat ihan natiivilta! 😊
Kiitos! Ja Gorillaz:n musa on mielettömän hyvää! B-)
linguaEpassione Ole hyvä ja joo, Gorillaz:n musiikki on tosi hyvää! :D
Great!! Very talented!! Tu español no está nada mal hombre!!
I really enjoyed your video. The accuracy in every language surprise me. I'm a sad monolingual man, but I can recognize some language although i don't understand very well what are you saying. Your spanish is amazing!, there was not any bad mistakes. Greetings!
Great introduction! Beautiful German and Portuguese in particular! Good luck on the Chinese, its really a fascinating language.
Thank you for your comment and your wishes Frederik, and congratulations for your Mandarin, it sounds fantastic! At least to my ear :) Maybe one day (probably in a very far future) I'll be able to understand what you say in your Chinese videos as well... Keep it up!
This is so good. Your japanese and portuguese accent are perfect. Congratulations.
Muito obrigado Luis! ありがとう！
"Desafortunadamente no hablo muy bien español". Hablas mejor que yo! Eso que soy de Argentina 😂😂😂
Hablas excelente para haber aprendido español solo 3 años.
Muchas gracias! xD Tal vez sea porque somos hermanos! :)
Olet aivan uskomattoman hyvä puhumaan Suomea!
Olen Suomalainen, myös erittäin kiinnostunut eri kielistä, ja katsoin siksi tätä videota, kun yhtäkkiä aloit puhua Suomea. Yllätyin kovasti, ja vielä enemmän hämmästyin kun kuulin kuinka lähes täydellisesti sitä puhuit!
En ole varmaan ikinä kuullut ketään ulkomaalaista joka puhuisi noin hyvin! Mahtavaa, jatka samaan malliin :)
Just discovered your channel ! Apart from your amazing skills, I noted your comment about the abiliy to read a book in each of the foreign languages that you master. That for me is the ultimate yardstick, and probably the ultimate goal : literature in the language it was written in. Apart from my native language (French) I can read in 3 (and a half…) more languages. For two other languages, I read the translation in French, but with original text on the side. I’m convinced that’s a great way to improve !
Kaikki on sanonu jo tän, mutta sä puhut tosi hyvin suomea. Klikatessa videota en osannu odottaa et sun kielitaito on noin hyvä!
Tää video sai taas mun motivaation opiskella vieraita kieliä kasvamaan yhä suuremmaksi.
Opiskelen japania, koreaa ja slovakkia kotona. Mandariinikiinaakin on tullut opeteltua, tosin kielitaito ei oo kovin hyvä(pitäis varmaan etsiä tunteja tai ainakin joku opettamaan xd). Koulussa tulee opiskeltua espanjaa, ruotsia ja englantia.
Unkarikin sattuu luonnistumaan, kun isäni sattuu sieltä kotoisin olemaan.
Mutta on kyl upeeta, miten hyvin oot oppinut niin monia kieliä!
Voi kiitos, Léda! Tosi mukava kommentti, ja tosi hienoa, että sait motivaatiota videoltani! Vau, sinäkin olet opiskellut monia kieliä, hyvä me ;-) Oletko muuten huomannut että kanavastani löytyy myös sellainen video, joka on kokonaan suomeksi? Laitan sulle linkin, ku ehkä sua voisi kiinnostaa katsoa: czcams.com/video/TL3LsXVKbWU/video.html
Your Japanese is really really good!! I’m so impressed and respect you!!
本当ですか？ありがとうございます！道のりは長いですので、頑張ります！
Wow wow wow, congratulations. This is very inspiring to learn new languages! Complimenti!!
Thank you Alex, grazie mille! :)
That was really nice. As for myself, I am only l fluent in five languages and, like you, I love switching around from one language to the next. Congratulations.
You speak spanish very well and perfectly understandable even though you said you didn't speak it that well but i think you do speak it like a native speaker and same goes for your Japanese since i'm currently learning this. You motivated me a lot from your videos and very proud of you.
Hey ファビオさん、you really think so? Wow, ありがとうございました！I am always modest with my Spanish because I don't feel confident at all, but your kind words help!
@@linguaEpassione Thx!!
素晴らしい！ あなたの日本語はとても上達しています。ネイティブスピーカー（日本語話者）の抑揚になっています。イントネーションなど、細かなところも十分に体得されています。書き言葉、文字の美しさをお褒めいただきましてありがとうございます。日本語は、書き言葉としては漢字、ひらがな、及びカタカナにより構成され、それぞれの文字の持つ形状の特徴から、センテンスの脈絡を把握するうえで、視認性にとても優れた言語であると言えます。もちろん、話し言葉も音声の響きの良さに定評があります。これからもいろいろな言語を習得されるなか、日本語についてもますます励まれますようお願いします。ありがとうございました。
你在说什么？
Can anyone traslate this?😅 I’d like to know what he wrote
Google Translate says for this Japanese Passage: "Great! Your Japanese is very progressive. It is an inflection of native speaker (Japanese speaker). Intonation etc, detailed details are also sufficiently acquired. Thank you for praising the written language and the beauty of the letters. Japanese is composed of kanji, hiragana and katakana as a written language and can be said to be a very good language for visibility to grasp the context of the sentence from the features of the shape of each letter. Of course, there is a reputation for the spontaneousness of speech sound as well as spoken language. I hope that you will be encouraged more and more in Japanese as you learn various languages from now on. Thank you very much". Since we know that Google Translate is not always accurate for every language, please check with "whiteisland88" to see if this is what Hän ( suomen kieltä ) (he/she in Finnish) did mean.
Анастасия Юрь Ева oh, thank you!
Hello, really great video! I liked it very much :) I have been learning Spanish for about a year now, I have to say that I really love that language. I am also interested in Finnish and Finnish culture, and your video has persuaded me that this language is not impossible to learn - it only takes much effort (and time, I suppose) to learn it. Thank you very much for making this video! I wish you all the best with your future language studies !
Yes, it requires times and effort but the satisfaction of succeeding is even greater :) Thank you so much for your comment and success with your studies as well!
Eres genial!!! Me has sorprendido gratamente tu acento en español y eso que dices que no es tan bueno como el portugués, por ejemplo... me he quedado prendada al escucharte precisamente en portugués, ese será mi próximo objetivo ;) ahora mismo estoy metida de cabeza con el francés porque he conocido a alguien maravilloso y él sólo habla su lengua materna. Yo hablo inglés y me manejo muy bien en italiano, de hecho viajé a Roma el pasado junio yo sola y me sorprendí de mi misma por no haber utilizado ni una sola palabra en inglés... Antes de meterme con el francés, estudiaba japonés (todos los idiomas de forma autodidacta, menos el inglés), una lengua que ADORO y que es todo un reto para mi, madre de tres criaturas, divorciada y trabajadora... en resumidas cuentas, con poquísimo tiempo para el que yo defino mi hobby, aprender idiomas... así que sí, eres toda una motivación para muchísima gente y yo entre ellas... Un fuerte abrazo desde España... suerte con el chino y el islandés :)
I could understand everything you said in Finnish, fabulous.
Puhut hyvää suomea. Hitaasti ja selvästi.
As a mexican I can say that your spanish is on point, I'm sure that if you spoke it more often you'd definitely be way more fluent in no time, congrats!
I love italian and I even tried to make a video speaking a little bit in italian and uploaded it, I'm just kinda embarrassed of my pronunciation (and video quality) but if we don't get started we won't get anywhere, right?
Muchísimas gracias! And well done on getting started, I like your attitude there!
Wahnsinn, wie gut du Finnisch sprichst. Ich habe mir für nächstes Jahr fest vorgenommen auch mit Finnisch lernen richtig anzufangen, da Finnisch meine Lieblingssprache ist. Meine Muttersprache ist Deutsch, außerdem spreche ich fließend Englisch und beherrsche ein paar Wörter auf Griechisch, Japanisch, Französisch und Russisch. Ein Lebensziel von mir ist es möglichst viele skandinavische Sprachen zu sprechen.
Liebe Grüße und kiitos für deine Videos! 🇫🇮
Now that your Finnish pronunciation is so good, it would be interesting to hear you speaking Hungarian one day. Every foreigner butchers it.
For some strange reasons Finnish and Italian have the same pronunciation (the word sounds exactly how it is written) so at least for the pronunciation it is easier for an Italian than let’s say a native English speaker to learn it… and for the same reason almost every foreigner speaking Italian does it quite well in terms of vocabulary and grammar but the pronunciation is always off
Puhut tosi hyvin ja selkeästi suomea! Suuret kunnianosoitukset myös siitä että olet oppinut suomea itseopiskelemalla, se on aika kova saavutus jostakin kannattaakin olla ylpeä! Oletko muuten koskaan käynyt Suomessa?
Hei Juho, kiitoksia oikein paljon mukavista sanoista ja tuesta! En ole koska asunut Suomessa, mutta olen kyllä käynyt siellä monta kertaa. Kaverit sanoo jopa, että oon suomalaistunut aika kovasti vuosien myötä :D
Oho, kuvittelin että oot asunut Suomessa ja oppinu sen takia kielen noin hyvin. En oo ikinä kuullut kenenkään ulkomaalaisen puhuvan noin "suomalaisesti" kuin sä puhut, vaikka ne olisi asunut Suomessa monta vuotta! Kaikki sun puheen ilmauksetkin oli just oikeita ja luonnollisen kuulosia, koska usein ulkomaalaisen huomaa siitä, että se käyttää sellasia sanoja tai lauseita, jotka on ihan oikein mutta joita suomalaiset ei tavallisesti välttämättä käyttäis
Felicitaciones Stefanno!! Eres mejor de lo que pensaba!!
Seu sotaque em português é muito bom. Como sou brasileiro, acho que seria impossível pra mim descobrir que você não nasceu em Portugal mesmo, já que seu sotaque é quase perfeito. Parabéns!
Você fala português muito bem e seu sotaque é lindo! Parabéns!
Obrigado Ligia, tu é que falas também com sotaque de Portugal?
Não, sou brasileira, mas amo o sotaque dos portugueses. Seu sotaque é impecavelmente europeu.
Yes your Finnish is spot on, you have a perfect rhythm in your language. Finns tend to think that pronouncing Italian is easier for them comparing to French for an example, I just wonder how the Finnish accent sounds to Italians ;)
Kiitos!!! It's true that Italian is much easier to pronounce for Finns than French and other languages (even English!), but if their accent is strong it does sound funny I have to admit :) I can imitate a Finnish accent in most languages by the way, that's how Finnish I have become :-p
Have to say this is well deserved way to call yourself polyglot. Many people in their videos speak like 3 - 5 languages in ok level, but rest seem to be just basics and with bad pronunciation. I speak 5 languages including my native language Latvian. Also Finnish is one of them because ended up living in Finland. Have heard many of languages that you speak and most or should I say all sound clean with no added accent. That is amazing! Respect for learning so well also Finnish. And keep going if your brain is open for more languages. Superb.
Thank you SO much for such a superkind comment, I appreciate it a lot! This is in fact my style of learning languages: if I start, I usually intend to go as deep as possible because in a way I know it's going to be a "relationship" for life with the language I love. Cool that you speak Finnish as well!
Waw... your Italian and French sound awesome :) with this capability I’m curious to see your arabic one day!
Thank you Moza! One day I'll embark on that big challenge as well :)
You speak very well romanian! You could definitely read the books! Star with newspapers, they use fairly simple words. I'd really like to learn italian and japanese. I've been to italy a few times and i'll still be going for vacations :).
Mulțumesc Peter! Am decis că prima carte pe care o s-o citesc va fi Dece iubim femeile, de Cărtărescu, dar tocmai am început-o și încă nu știu dacă voi reuși s-o citesc...
you speak 11 languages! I'm sure you can do this as well :P. Most of us don't even dare to dream of speaking that many languages. Besides time, one must have the capacity and inclination to do so.
I love how your voice "changes" each time you switch the language.
Lovely comment, thank you so much! I also think that happens, and I can assure you it's automatic on my part :))
@@linguaEpassione it happens to everyone, i guess
You are really smart. Puhut jopa hyvin suomea. Onnitteluni! On todella mielenkiintoista kuulla sinun puhuvan suomea. Itse puhun suomen lisäksi ruotsia ja englantia, ja tulen toimeen myös arabialla, venäjällä ja norjalla. Hyvää jatkoa sinulle.
Kiitoksia, Alec, itsellesi myös hyvää jatkoa!
Complimenti! Sono un insegnante di inglese, ma parlo anche spagnolo francese e cinese ed è bello vedere con quanta passione e umiltà ti approcci allo studio! Appena iniziato il video mi sono incuriosito, pensavo fossi tedesco perché il tuo inglese ha un leggero accento teutonico. Poi quando hai raccontato la tua storia tedesca ecco spiegato il mistero :D continua così!
I'm romanian, and I really have to say, you're speaking very good! Read a book mate, I'm sure you will understand it! :) Greetings!
Your Portuguese is perfect!!! You even can sound like a native Portuguese. ♥
Muito obrigado!!!
Devo dire che è stato incredibile. La maniera in cui hai parlato tutte quelle lingue è semplicemente affascinante. Soltanto ne parlo cinque e già penso di essere il più bravo ahaha, sinceramente il tuo spagnolo è stato geniale, da parte di un madrelingua. Continua così, giacché è la passione più inusitata, ma anche la più bella.
Grazie Andrés per il gentilissimo messaggio! Però il "solamente" non dovresti dirlo quando parli ben cinque lingue heheh! ;-) Complimenti anche a te e... continuiamo così, il viaggio non finisce mai!
Grande Stefano!!! Mi è piaciuto davvero tanto il tuo video, vivissimi complimenti per le pronunce, mi sei di grande ispirazione! Sarai alla Polyglot Conference a fine ottobre? Tantissimi complimenti ancora e buono studio! :)
Ciao Enrico, grazie per il commento, troppo buonooo! Sì, allora ci vediamo a Reykjavík? :) Tra l'altro il prossimo paio di video sarà dedicato all'islandese, spero a breve!
Ottimo, non vedo l'ora di vederli! Io per ora sono ancora tutto preso dal russo, ma conto di dedicarmi un po' anche all'islandese entro la fine di ottobre -- mi sarai di ispirazione anche per quello! Allora a presto! :)
