    He said he even picks a personality standard when speaking a language to help memorize and separate. Could be partly why, but like De Castelle said, intonation is important when pronouncing a lot of words in a language. Not even anything necessarily to do with dialect.

    It's because sounds pronounced in different languages come from different places, for example I've head that to speak Japanese accurately the sounds should come from your chest whereas to speak English you use the upper part of your throat (or smt?), so your way of speaking naturally changes in order to sound more fluent and feel comfortable

    Lazy Person's guide to learn a foreign language extremely fast. 1. Memorise the 1000 most common words 2. Watch movies subtitled and spoken in the language you are learning. How do young kids become fluent by the time they turn 3 or 4? Do they know how to write or read? Have they ever studied their language? You subconsciously learn the grammar and pronunciation just like those young kids. You listen and read at the same time. That's exactly how I learnt my english in just one year. Basicaly those 2 steps are the most important ones. I would still hung out with native speakers after a while, changed my pc and phone menu to the language i was trying to learn, read articles, talk to myself etc as a side help. Fluent in just a year without even trying hard at all. Fuck books and lessons.

I can't believe how much you've learned in 8 weeks ._. And your pronunciation was very good too. You sounded very german even though there were some wrong words ( I respect you for learning the german pronunciation within 8 weeks xD) I'm also amazed from the other languages but since I can only speak german and englisch, a little bit french and understand italian, I can't judge them. :D But I'm sure they're as good or better as your german.

    I really admire you for being in the process of learning so many languages... I myself study English, French, German and Japanese at uni, and I know how hard it is! Especially after a while, when you start mixing words and grammars... Italian is my motherlanguage and I can easily say that you are highly comprehensible, you wouldn't have any particular comunication issue on an everyday basis. That said, if your aim is to get really good at it, I'd suggest you focusing on the pronunciation of double sounds and above all on the prosody of the sentence, because your accent is the one that every foreign use when trying to "make fun" of Italians. There are SO MANY different Italian accents, but I'd suggest focusing on the most "standard" one, which is the one spoken (mostly) on tv and in the northern area of Lombardia (again, more or less). If you miss a plural or forget an article it's not a big deal, but these small changes will help you make an even better impression! Good luck ^^ (Please do correct my English if there are any mistakes, I'm still learning ^^)

    Chinese is simple. All Asian languages are basically very simple. Poles consider Polish the hardest because it is. Children need two more years to learn Polish as their first language than any other European language. The problem with Polish is complicated grammar which comes from the fact that there were almost no changes in grammar and vocabulary throughout the ages. Most languages get simplier and simplier all the time ,there are only two that don't change in Europe. Polish and Icelandic. The only thing that changes is meaning of words in both of those cases. Polish IS the hardest. Its also probably the most elastic one, the most rich with equivalents because of foreign words adapted. We must remember that Poland was country that had Latin as second main language the longest in Europe.

    Yes ,the number 2 is often problematic even for native liguists. Basically numbers 1-5 in Polish are complicated to exchange in different times because our Sarmatian ancestors were nomads and nomadic tribes count using only one hand because they live on horse. I was explaining once to one Belgian that in his language he is always "Herman" ,but in Polish: "give it to herman" = "Daj to hermanowi" ,"I see herman" = "widzę hermana" ,"you are herman" = "jesteś hermanem" ,"eyes of herman" = "hermanowe oczy" etc etc. In Polish his name is "herman" only when he says "my name is herman" ="nazywam się herman".

    The thing that gets me every single time I see this video, is how you developed different phonatory articulations for similar consonants, according to the language they are pronounced in: it's almost as if you developed a different, unique voiceprint; and as if you had a different personality for each language you're speaking. Truly amazing. (btw, if you also speak Latin it's 21 languages, not 20! Looking forward to listening you speaking Latin too, then!) ••• La cosa che mi colpisce, ogni volta che vedo questo video, è come tu abbia sviluppato diverse articolazioni fonatorie per consonanti simili, a seconda della lingua in cui sono pronunciate: è quasi come se tu avessi sviluppato un timbro vocale diverso ed unico; ed è come se esistesse una personalità diversa per ognuna delle lingue che parli. Veramente meraviglioso. (comunque, se parli anche latino sono 21 lingue, non 20! Quindi, non vedo l'ora di sentirti parlare anche in latino!)

    I saw this video about 6 years ago in school. It was around the time I started to study Mandarin. Every since then, I have always come back to this amazing person and have watched many of his videos and interviews repeatedly. Tim Doner, thank you for being an inspiration to me in my life to this day and going forward. I hope to pay this forward in society. :) (As a note: I was 13 at the time, and had no clue what I was really doing nor the discipline and methods! xD Since then, I have studied many languages to *small* degrees, but always gotten distracted by the next one and felt the pull of the next fascinating culture and its people... Now I have overcome this problem and am starting to study Vietnamese. My highest self-taught proficiencies are Japanese, which was very "on and off" over the past few years, getting to approx. JLPT N3, and also a basic understanding of Spanish. My highest GCSE was an A* in German, also. I now know the methods and the practices that work for me, but feel I am still early in my language journeys. It is in large part Tim Doner's spirit that has kept my passion for languages alive to this day. My goal now is B2 over the next 2 years in Vietnamese, before deciding which language to focus my efforts on and reach "fluency" in next. :) )

Sounds almost a bit like a French accent and that's quite funny because there's something like a typical accent for Americans who try to speak English but his really sounds a bit French :D

    Shisuka (annichan1999) I'd say his German was good but as both you and him have said, the grammar is hard and you can pick up small points like his dative cases not being right. Also his pronunciation of umlauts - i'm guessing because of his accent - makes it hard to distinguish between certain words. To be honest though the amount of languages will just open so many doors for him in the future and I wish I could become as au fait with all these languages.
