More videos folks. He's added Vietnamese and Portuguese and redone his Mandarin video:

People are always quick to pick out what's wrong with people, never even attempt to pick out his strengths. It is a bit big headed he claims to be the 'greatest polyglot' but give the poor man some slack! ;)
Listening to his video, the first thing that came to my mind was 'jack of all trades, master of none'. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Which brings me to make a question and a statement: Question: Is it better to study lots of languages you probably won't use or 2-7 that you will use on a regular basis to promote and sustain fluency? Statement: It's always best to qualify your language abilities. You can get into big trouble if you say that you speak 10 languages unless you can really speak them fluently. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I won't cut him any slack because he made an outrageous boast and has thus far failed to back up his claim. I don't know what you guys think, but I have some experience with Vietnamese, and his sounded awful to me.
Is he saying the same thing in every language? Since I am most assuredly not the "world's greatest living polyglot", I can't tell what he is saying :) 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Maybe he is good. If he were a con artist, he probably would have started off with languages he was good at:) Quite
an amazing difference between this and our own Vlad's recording. 4 persons have voted this message useful |
