Yes, his website includes video clips of himself speaking in several different languages, introducing himself and explaining how he learned his languages, etc. That way, Mr. Fazah can prepare and memorize and/or read a short piece before audio/video taping it and language clips can be added as he finds the time.

Wow, I can't believe I actually understood what was said in Portuguese. However, please keep in mind to provide English translations for all message written in another language except in special threads in the Practical Self-study questions forum.
