I think this guy is well-known and highly respected.   I thought he did speak Japanese, but now I'm not sure. No Japanese or Finnish in this video.

Richard Simcott.

He's extremely popular in the polyglot community. When I think of the word "polyglot",
the first person that pops into my head is him.

And I'm so glad that he's such a major force in the community because the bottom line is
that he is extremely nice, humble, encouraging, and not in the least condescending
(whether implied or not, as in the attitudes of many other self-proclaimed polyglots). He
is our perfect ambassador, and I am extremely glad for that.

I have had the honor of having Richard as my guest for a few days, and can only agree with Eternica. He is
incredibly talented and hardworking, and also one of the nicest most unassuming people I know. He has
amazing accents in all the languages I know, and as far as I know that goes for most of the other languages
he speaks as well. And yes, he is also a highly respected and valuable member of this forum.

This video is about Richard Simcott, our HTLAL - forum member Torbyrne, who has his own thread in the Polyglot subforum here. Richard directly interacts with the HTLAL forum members, so it would make much more sense to give him personally a feedback than discuss his language abilities with other people than Richard himself.
