English was excellent. Mandarin, Spanish and French were all good. You might want to try to quash the "umm". It
takes a concerted effort, but not too long to overcome.

Your Spanish is very good.
I would like to speak English like you speak Spanish.

Thank you very much everyone for the nice words. I tried my best, but still think that
there were too many mistakes. Thank you for being forgiving:)
If anyone is interested, I will keep on doing the podcast and some great linguists
(such as my friend Luca or Glossika - Mike Campbell) agreed to join me for an interview
so hopefully something interesting will come out.
leosmith:
I noticed the too many umm's too, but only after I did the recording. I tried my best,
but I guess I was really too nervous. I will have to concentrate on this more, because
if I should try to do more language related recordings in the future, the umm's will
not come out that good.

P.S. Next time will you speak some Polish, Romanian, or Persian too?

I would love to sometime in my life, but I think it would be a complete disaster now.

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome!
Tip for the umm's - replace them with the foreign language equivalent and then they will be less jarring:
este for Spanish "Este..."
ya'ni for Arabic, etc.
