Fasulye,
Thank you for posting your videos. I think its very important for aspiring polyglots to see examples of what is possible. I was even more impressed with your Romance language video as those are in a different family than your native German. I couldn't understand all the French because I am not strong enough in it but I understood all of the Italian and Spanish. I liked your point about studying grammar using exercises. What materials do you recommend? Thanks! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi ChiaBrain,
I am always pleased to hear, if my language videos give inspiration and motivation to other foreign language learners. I use textbooks and workbooks based on the German language with a variety of exercises. I find it important for ONE language to work through several textbooks and workbooks. ASSIMIL is a bit weak on this point, because it contains almost no exercises. I buy my textbooks in my local bookshop, so I have the possibility to check in advance, if there are enough exercises in such books. I dislike a bit translation exercises, because I don't like translating in general. Fasulye 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I want to pre-anounce my coming new You Tube video, where I will play a multilingual song on my guitar and sing. I feel musically inspired by Jiwon singing "Auld Lang Syne" in three languages, so I will perform a video-response.
Language-structure of the song: 1. Verse: German Refrain: English 2. Verse: Esperanto Refrain: English 3. Verse: Dutch Refrain: English Here comes the songtext: BLOWING IN THE WIND (Multilingual Version) (played in G-majeur) (4/4 - beat) 1. Wie große Berge von Geld gibt man aus für Bomben, Raketen und Tod? Wie große Worte macht heut mancher Mann und lindert damit keine Not? Wie großes Unheil muss erst noch geschehn damit sich die Menscheit besinnt? REF: The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind. 2. Kiom da vojoj en tuta la mond' abundas per larmoj sufer'? Kaj oceanoj gxis mara profund' plenplenas per trista mizer'! Kiom da inoj dum tutsola viv' atendas en vea toler'? REF: The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind. 3. Hoelang kan rots in de vloed blijven staan voordat hij verdwijnt in het niet? Hoelang moet de mens nog vechten om recht voordat hij de vrijheid geniet? Hoe vaak kan een mens onrecht laten begaan en doen alsof hij het niet ziet? REF: The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind. In the video, which we will produce this weekend, I will first read out the songtext to the audience, so that it becomes clear, what I sing. Afterwards, I will play and sing the song. I will post the You Tube link here: Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX4IA7K4s_Y Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 03 January 2010 at 2:05pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Outstanding! I think that is your best video. Very creative and well done. Kudos!
I have no such musical talent but I can recite poetry so maybe I will keep the string going and recite some poetry (from memory) in five languages sometime this week... 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Nice to hear. If you can recite poetry on You Tube (I know this from your sounds in this forum), this will be an innovative idea because I don't know any polyglot doing this besides Jiwon. This is interesting, if people on You Tube develop some new ideas to present their (foreign) languages. I am looking forward to it! Fasulye Regarding my own You Tube projects, my Dutch friend wants to play together with me 2-3 Esperanto songs (= wellknown songs sung with an Esperanto text), but I don't know yet, when we will have the opportunity to do it.

MY SKYPE LANGUAGE CONTACTS
In the beginning I had to wait for a long time to find any Skype contacts at all, but now I have a small group of people and very benficial exchanges. As I am a very communicative person it's also easy for me to speak foreign languages with unknown people. I am never shy. There are some prejudices about Skype: 1. You have to speak your native language with a learner. NOT TRUE! With polyglots I speak all my languages and we switch from one language to the other. In fact you can pratise any language. 2. You have to belong to the same age-group. NOT TRUE! In fact my Skypies are much younger than I am and the age difference doens't play any role at all. What's important: 1. A Skype contact should be beneficial for both sides, so A learns from B something and B learns from A something. Then both people make progress. I have such contacts. 2. You should harmonize personally and intellectually, so that you don't get one-sided conversations. 3. Common interests are helpful, but also language learning itself can be a very abundant subject. 4. I personally prefer serious and enthousiast language learners who share my language passion and nerdiness. My latest Skype discovery is a contact from Turkey which gives me the chance to really bring my beginner's Turkish into practise. My thanks go to my conversation partners (Skypies) and I am looking forward to more language practise on Skype.
