Making videos is a good way to prove speaking abilties. Behind my language abilties there's a lifetime's study. I started learning languages early and continued using them all my life long. Fasulye Edited by Fasulye on 18 September 2009 at 11:04pm 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yes, my Italian is better because every two weeks I have an Italian conversation meeting with a German friend. I had this for French and Spanish as well, but that friendship broke up, so I don't speak any French and Spanish in my private life.

Fasulye! Thank you so much for this post and I'm flattered to know that you consider me as a 5-language speaker! I still think that it can take me about 4-5 years to reach basic fluency in those languages and about 8 months of full immersion to brush everything up. But now I'm really lucky to find an interesting and encouraging person for improving my German. Thanks again and I'll talk to you tomorrow! ;-) Edited by m32amir on 02 October 2009 at 9:36am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

POLYGLOT SKYPING NR. 2: The intellegibility of Portuguese and Spanish
I would like to report about this polyglot skyping session of tonight, because I telephoned with Amir and we made a very interesting experiment: I don't speak any Portuguese, so I let Amir speak Brasilian Portuguese for one hour while I spoke Spanish with him. Amir is fluent in Portuguese (and Spanish) and I could understand nearly 100 % of what he said. I only listened to his 10 minutes video in Brasilian Portuguese on You Tube and wrote Amir that I could understand it, so we got the idea that we should try out this language combination in practice. I have never done any Portuguese audio-taining or listened to anything of this language besides this one video, so I can conlude that our experiment proves the similarity and mutual intellegibilty of both languages Portuguese and Spanish.

You might like to try skyping with someone from Portugal and compare the experience. You will probably find European Portuguese less transparent. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Actually, there's a significant history of people using Esperanto in China. There's a "Chinese Esperanto League", and the ultra-famous novelist Ba Jin was a fluent esperanto speaker and served as vice-president of the league at one point. Although there aren't many speakers there today, there were apparently 400,000 speakers in 1980, and probably many more earlier in the century. When esperanto was introduced to china, it was thought that it would serve as a language that would help chinese workers communicate with the worldwide working class. 3 persons have voted this message useful |
